We only had three days left before I started school again. I spent those days with Jungkook cuddling and watching movies. I went to his rehearsals with him and hung out a little bit with the rest of the group. I also hung out with Liz a few times. I could finally tell her about what's been going on! She obviously fangirled and everything but I had to make her swear to never tell anyone about it. It's important because I signed a contract saying that I'm not supposed to tell anyone anything about BTS, but I still told her. It's now Saturday and school starts tomorrow. I'm at my apartment and I'm watching TV with Jungkook.
"I don't want to go to school tomorrow..." I whine, a slight pout on my lips.
"Tessa, you'll be so proud of yourself once you graduate, don't give up now!" I sigh and look at him. He has a small smile at the corner of his lips and looks at me with stars in his eyes.
"Only if you could come to school with me..."
"I mean, the best I can do is pick you up after school."
"What?! Would you really do that?" I exclaim out of shock.
"Depends on what time you end." I open my phone and show him a picture of my schedule.
"On most Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays I could."
"Really?! Omg, thank you so much Kookie you're the best!" I hug him so tightly that he probably has a hard time breathing.
"I'll do anything for you, Tess." My heart stops. What was that? He didn't have to be so romantic out of nowhere and kill me like that!
"Why do you always do this?!"
"W-what?" He asks, confused.
"You always say cheesy stuff like that!"
"You don't like it?"
"You always kill me! It makes my heart melt, ugh you'll be the death of me, I swear to god!" He starts laughing his lungs out. I don't really understand why so I look at him confusedly.
"I was worried that you were mad at me, I'm relieved!" I giggle along. We calm down and I see him yawn. Is he tired? He had a long day, he should maybe go to sleep.
"Are you tired? You can sleep here if you want." I suggest, not wanting to take some sleeping time away from him.
"No, it's fine. I should just head back to the dorms, I have to get up early tomorrow morning and I don't want to wake you up."
"You won't wake me up, I sleep like a rock." He looks at me and shakes his head apologetically.
"I'm sorry Tess, I just want you to sleep well."
"You know I won't rest correctly if you're not lying in bed with me," I say to try to convince him.
"I said no Tessa."
"But please!" I pout and look at him straight in the eyes. I must look ridiculous but I don't want him to leave me so I have to try everything. I see his stern expression soften and a slight smile appears on the corner of his lip. A cute and loving smile that makes me melt on the spot. I must not get affected, I need to win this. I hope my strategy worked... At this moment, my question gets answered.
"Ugh, okay whatever." He sighs and throws his head back on the couch.
"Ahah, I knew it'd work!" He jerks his head to his right, to look at me. It's now his turn to pout. He crosses his arms, furrows his eyebrows and looks straight into my eyes. He starts talking to me but I can't really focus on his words. I can only focus on his lips that move as he speaks. Mesmerizing... I don't know what he's talking about but I can't help but interrupt him by pecking his lips. A small and short cute kiss.
"I'm sorry, I just had to..." The next thing I know, his lips are against mine again. His hand is on the back of my head, bringing me closer to him and deepening the kiss. It's only for a few seconds but I can still feel his lips on mine after it's over.
"Don't apologize, I like kissing you." He says as I giggle out of nervousness and nod. I feel like teasing him so as he leans in for another, longer, kiss, I turn my head to the side so that he kisses my cheek instead. I immediately get up and I stick my tongue out at him. He gasps exaggeratedly.
"Omg! You did not just do that!? I'm so gonna catch you." I start running around the tiny apartment and he runs after me. I end up running into my room and slamming the door. The best hiding place I can find is behind the door so I hide there. I know he's coming after me so I'm not surprised when he opens the door. Fortunately, he doesn't see me. I let him search for a while and when his back is facing me, I jump on him.
"OUCH WHAT THE F*CK!?!?!?" Omg, I hurt him, what do I do now?! I slide down his and land back on the ground to make him sit on my bed. I sit beside him, taking his head in my arms and bringing it to my chest to hug him. I pass my hand through his black locks.
"Oh Kook, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you I won't ever do it again, I'm sorry!"
"Arg it's fine." He replies, seeming annoyed.
"No, it's not. Where are you hurt?" He points his left knee.
"It happens, you know. I dance a lot so this is no-" The relief he feels stops him in his sentence. I just put my hand on his knee since it had been able to heal him before. Indeed, it worked.
"Ah, thanks... I can't believe it worked again."
"Me neither... I really think you should get some rest Kookie. You seemed tired earlier and your knee seems to hurt pretty bad..." I'm really worried about him when I speak.
"I told you I'm fine!"
"No." I push him down on the bed and lay there with him. I trap him with my arms and legs like a koala.
"I got to admit, this feels amazing but can I just go to the bathroom first?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I go to the bathroom to brush my teeth with the toothbrush I forgot here yesterday, and wash my face. I then open the door leading to the room and see something I think I was not supposed to see... Tessa is changing. I just freeze. I can't deny the fact that she has a gorgeous body. Even if I can only see a few parts of her, I can definitely come to the conclusion that she has beautiful curves. I at least clear my throat to let her know I'm in the room.
"OMG!" Having only her shirt on, she puts her shorts on too and hides under the cover without even glancing once at me. I see her kicking the blanket... She's probably embarrassed, it's cute. I lie beside her and try to remove the blanket.
"Stop! Do you know how embarrassed I am? And, why did you even look you jerk!?" She screams at me. I didn't think she was mad, I thought she was just shy...
"Tess, I'm sorry! I didn't even look at you on purpose."
"You're so mean..." She finally uncovers her face. She's as red as a tomato, she's hilarious! The thing I don't get is why she's so embarrassed about this.
"Babe, why are you so embarrassed?"
"You just saw me half-naked!" She says as if this was the most evident answer to my question.
"Yeah, and? You've seen me half-naked too. Why don't you want me to see you like this?" I ask sincerely.
"Are you joking? You're handsome and have a really great body, you can't compare the both of us. I'm so ugly, I don't want you to see me like this!"
"What are you talking about? You're beautiful Tessa, don't say that!"
"Omg stop, I'm not. I have stretch marks and scars. I also have acne scars, that are really not attractive. I don't even know how you can look at me without cringing."
"Who said that? I-"
"You want more? I have f-fat thighs and I h-have a fat b-belly. I ha-" The more she speaks, the weaker her voice gets.
"Tessa, stop!" I kindly exclaim. She's now crying. It breaks my heart that she hates herself that way. She's the most beautiful girl I've seen and all the things she said aren't true. I take her in my arms and comfort her.
"Tessa Greens, you're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. I mean it. Stretch marks, scars and acne are completely normal. Stretch marks are just proof of your growth, they don't need to be removed, you should be proud of them. Scars show that you're strong, that you went through hard times and that you're still here. Acne scars are normal, I have some too and it can be treated you know? Actually, all those things make you more beautiful to me and make me love you even more. Also, you are absolutely not fat! Your thighs are really really pretty and your tummy is just perfect. I love you for who you are. Your body is so beautiful Tessa, sometimes I can't even stop looking at you because you're so pretty."
"You just find me sexy, that's different," she says with a pout.
"Well, yes, you're sexy, but that's not the only reason why I'm attracted to you. I think you are beautiful, you're gorgeous! Not sexy but really beautiful. All of you." This time she doesn't reply. I just want to make sure she knows I love her. I want her to know that she's beautiful even in her darkest times. She's crying even harder than before now. I feel so heartbroken knowing how she feels about herself, I wish I could delete these thoughts from her head. She looks so fragile in my arms, I'm scared I could break her.
"I-I'm so s-sorry, I-I wetted y-your s-shirt..."
"It's okay baby, don't worry about it." I keep her in my arms for a few minutes until she calms down. I rub her back and sometimes play with her hair. When she stops sobbing, I stop holding her and instead grab her face in my hands to make her look at me. I wipe her tears with my thumbs as we stare into each other's eyes.
"I think I'm not the only one who has to work on self-love then." She faintly giggles and I give her a forehead kiss.
"I'll work on it, thank you."
"I love you, never forget that."
"I love you too Jeon, now let's go to sleep." I nod and hold her in my arms as we drift to sleep.
