Chapter Text

Jaeyi had seen a handful of fireworks in her life, and sure, each had been unique in its own way. The one that felt most special was the latest she saw with her sister, about four years ago. That time, there had been no real celebration. Actually, she never found out why fireworks were set off in such a remote town, but back then, she hadn’t cared. Just being close to her sister was enough, even if she couldn’t talk to her the way she wanted.

That was until now, though.

Who would have thought her favorite fireworks would be at the school anniversary? No, if you had told Jaeyi that a year ago, she wouldn’t have believed it. Every year when the anniversary came around, she attended just to maintain the image of an ideal student, with little to no regard for her surroundings, much less for all the people watching her as she walked past the stands.

She had never enjoyed this day. Not until today. And the reason why was as clear as water to her.

"It's my first time seeing fireworks," the reason said beside her. "It’s really beautiful." Seulgi’s voice was soft, almost pouty.

Jaeyi had no choice but to look at her, as if she couldn’t fathom anything in the world being more beautiful than the girl next to her. Truth be told, she wanted to answer in the cheesiest way possible, but she was tougher than that. Instead, she simply stared. Until, after receiving no response, Seulgi turned and met her gaze.

They held eye contact for a few seconds, seconds that felt like a lifetime. If Seulgi had known her longer, she might have noticed that one of Jaeyi’s tells when she was flustered was the way she swung her legs side to side, just like she was doing now.

Their staring contest was broken by a powerful firework erupting in the sky. Even as it bloomed overhead, Jaeyi kept her eyes on Seulgi, the light from the headband reflecting in her hair, just like the colours of the fireworks painted her face. Goddamn it, Jaeyi thought. How is she this pretty? She truly didn’t understand.

"Seulgi-ya," she blurted, desperate to snap herself out of her trance. "Have you ever played the Mole Game?" That was really the first that came to your mind, Jaeyi? Ugh.

Seulgi turned to her with an expression that went from shock, to confusion, and curiosity before she finally answered. "I don't think I have, no. What is it?"

"Come here, I'll show you." And just like that, Jaeyi stood up, grabbed Seulgi by the wrist, and pulled her along, a smile tugging at her lips. She had to find a distraction, one that didn’t involve leaving Seulgi’s side.

After a long walk, they finally reached the game, and Jaeyi realized she hadn’t considered how far it actually was. Well, to be fair, she hadn’t thought about much at all before blurting it out.

"Okay, so the game is simple: plushie moles pop out of these holes at random times, sometimes more than one at a time, and your job is to hit as many as possible." She kept the explanation brief and straightforward. While Seulgi looked at the machine, nodding. Seulgi is a smart girl, she'll get it right away.

And she did.

Seulgi’s first attempt was like watching a completely different person. Who would have thought such a quiet, tiny girl could be so aggressive? Noted.

"Wah, Seulgi-ya," Jaeyi couldn’t hide the surprise in her voice as Seulgi hit the last mole. "What the heck?" A laugh burst out of her before she could stop it.

"That was fun!" Seulgi beamed, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Cute .

"I can see you really enjoyed it." Jaeyi grinned back at her, their energy feeding off each other. Just then, a beeping sound and a congratulatory melody filled the air, so she turned around to look at the machine, "No way."

"What?" Seulgi’s laughter faded slightly at Jaeyi’s baffled tone.

"You got a score of 970!"

"Umm- Yeah, apparently?" Seulgi still looked confused, but Jaeyi was too focused on the screen at the top of the machine to notice. "Is that bad? Did I do something wrong?"

At that, Jaeyi immediately turned to her, eyes wide. "Oh, my Seulgi, no." She gave her a warm smile, reaching up to tuck a strand of hair behind Seulgi’s ear. "It’s the opposite, that’s a really good score." Her hand trailed down to Seulgi’s cheek, her thumb brushing gently over soft skin.

"Really?" Seulgi’s grin returned, and if Jaeyi wasn’t mistaken she also saw a little blush on the cheeks, confirmed by the way the skin under her palm got a warmer. The realization made Jaeyi’s smile shift into a smirk. I have an effect on her.

"Really," Jaeyi assured her, letting her hand fall away. "In fact, you almost broke my record."

"Oh?" Seulgi’s eyes widened slightly. "What’s your record?"

"980." Jaeyi made no attempt to hide the smugness in her voice. "My Seulgi almost beat me." She was testing the waters, taking Seulgi’s reaction to being called hers, again. And she succeeded, because Seulgi’s blush deepened, and she quickly averted her gaze.

But that shyness didn’t last long. A spark of determination flickered in Seulgi’s eyes as she lifted her chin. "I bet if I try again, I can beat your record."

"Oh, really?" Jaeyi leaned in slightly, intrigued.

"Really." Seulgi’s triumphant expression made it clear she had already decided she was going to win. How competitive. Cute.

"I see." Jaeyi hummed, crossing her arms. "Well then, let’s make it interesting: let’s compete." Apparently, Jaeyi was really into getting in some type of friendly battle with Seulgi, it gave her an unexplainable rush. "You go first, since you’re so confident." Jaeyi smirked, loving the way Seulgi’s eyes lit up at the challenge. "But– I'll have a chance of regaining my throne if that actually happens" As much as she loved Seulgi's victorious grin, nothing can back her away from a good competition.

Seulgi seemed to be considering the terms carefully. Then, with a nod, she extended her hand. "Deal." But just before Jaeyi could shake on it, Seulgi pulled back slightly, eyes narrowing. "What does the winner get?"

That question made Jaeyi pause. Then, slowly, her smirk widened.

"The winner gets to request whatever reward she wants. No questions asked."

To say Jaeyi was satisfied with how things were going would be an understatement. If Seulgi won, she’d be happy to grant her whatever she wanted. And if Jaeyi won, well, she already had a clear idea of what she’d ask for.

Seulgi seemed to think it over before nodding again. "Alright. Deal."

She stretched her hand out once more, and this time, Jaeyi eagerly took it, giving a firm shake. They lingered there for a moment, their hands still clasped, the air between them charged with something unspoken.

Then, Jaeyi let her gaze flicker down to Seulgi’s lips for just a second before wetting her own. Without breaking eye contact, she brought Seulgi’s hand up to her lips and placed a soft kiss on her knuckles.

"Off you go, my princess." Jaeyi winked, playfully bowing as she released Seulgi’s hand and gestured toward the game.

And with that, Seulgi stepped forward, ready to play.

Damn, she is good.

In no time, Seulgi had not only broken Jaeyi's record by five points, but she had done it in under fifteen seconds. Jaeyi's best time had always been seventeen seconds.

"Yes!! I did it. I did it. Jaeyi-ya! Did you see?" Jaeyi could hardly believe how childlike Seulgi looked, bouncing excitedly on her heels, her big smile resembling that of a toddler. It was contagious. Jaeyi couldn’t help but offer her biggest smile in return.

Chuckling she answered "Of course, I saw, Seulgi-ya! You literally just broke my record. The one I had proudly held for the last four years."

"What can I say? I guess I really like having my name up there next to yours." Seulgi shrugged, handing Jaeyi the mallet before stepping aside.

Jaeyi couldn’t just let that confident remark slide. "Then, let’s see who gets to be on top first." She shot Seulgi a wink before turning to face the game, fully aware of how her innuendo landed when Seulgi’s face turned scarlet.

Jaeyi had never thought of losing on purpose just for the sake of someone else’s happiness. Never thought of, not giving her 100%. It went against everything she stood for, against everything her father had taught her.

But then again, none of that seemed to matter ever since she met Woo Seulgi. Because right now, all she could think about was that girl’s expectant, adorable smile. She can only think on what she had discovered some hours ago: Seulgi's dimple. She wanted to see it. More than that, she wanted to be the one to bring it out again.

So, by second fourteen, with a score of 980, she missed the last two moles that popped up.

"No!" She yelled with feigned frustration, tossing the mallet onto the machine before turning toward Seulgi, who had gone completely still. Unlike what Jaeyi expected, Seulgi wasn’t celebrating. Instead, she looked stunned. "Seulgi-ya, you okay? I just lost. Shouldn’t you be jumping of joy?"

"I-" she was too stunned to speak, apparently. "Jaeyi—I…" Her eyes never left the game screen. What's happening?

"What's the issue? You won! Congratulations!!" Screw her devastated act. At this moment the only thing Jaeyi had in mind was to know what was going through. Seulgi's mind.

"I– wasn’t actually sure I’d win…" Seulgi finally let out, quietly.

To that, Jaeyi's reaction was to burst out laughing, bent over, hands on knees, full-on cackling. 

"Hey! What’s so funny now?" pouty voice back.

Jaeyi wiped at her eyes, already out of breath, but still grinning. "Seulgi-ya—you are so cute. What do you mean? You were so confident a minute ago! And now you say weren't expecting to win?"

"Yeah, but–I don’t know! You’re so competitive, and—" Seulgi finally turned to her, still wearing an indescribable expression.

Jaeyi softened. "And? Hey, look at me." She reached for Seulgi’s shoulders, squeezing gently. "You won. So– what do you want?"

"What do you mean, what do I want?" 

Jaeyi smirked, giving Seulgi’s shoulders another squeeze before sliding her hands down to entwine their fingers. "You won. The deal was that the winner could request whatever reward they wanted. So, what’s it going to be?"

Seulgi eyes darted to their intertwined hands, lips slightly parted, thinking hard. Jaeyi watched her closely, rubbing her thumb along the side of Seulgi’s hand.

After a long moment, Jaeyi decided to make things easier for her. "Tell you what, why don’t we go to my house? You can spend the night, and on the way, you can think about your request. How does that sound?"

Seulgi’s eyes widened slightly, lips parting again. For a moment, she simply stared at Jaeyi, as if searching for an answer in her face. Finally, after what felt like minutes, but was only ten seconds, she nodded. "Sure."

“Great!” Jaeyi’s grin widened, she could barely contain her excitement. The last time Seulgi was at her house, something had felt incomplete, because they were still getting to know each other. She had been waiting for another chance like this, and now that it was happening, she wasn’t about to let it slip away. "Let’s go." Without hesitation, she tightened her grip on Seulgi’s hand and pulled her along.

When they arrived at Jaeyi’s house, she was surprised to find everything dark. Only Je-Hyun, her dog, came bounding toward them, tail wagging excitedly. Then, she remembered, after the anniversary celebration, her father was spending the night at the hospital, and her mother was at a distant relative’s birthday party.

They were alone.

"Do you want to take a bath?"

Seulgi spun around so fast it was almost comical. "Excuse me?!"

Jaeyi blinked, taken aback. "Wow, Seulgi-ya, chill. If you don’t want to, that’s okay. I was just saying it so you could go to bed feeling comfortable. But if you don’t want to, that’s fine too." She walked past Seulgi, leaving her bag hanging by the entrance of her room and setting her phone on the nightstand. Facing her bed now, she began unbuttoning her blazer.

Seulgi cleared her throat. "…Yeah, sorry—I heard you say something else."

Jaeyi raised a brow, turned around, and as she slid her blazer off her shoulders, she said, “What did you understand?”

"N-nothing. I just didn’t hear you correctly, that’s all." Seulgi stuttered.

Jaeyi smirked but let it go. “Alright then…” She turned back to the bed, unbuttoning her shirt. But just as she reached the second button, an idea struck her. She turned around to find Seulgi still standing in the same spot. “So, what do you want?” she asked, locking eyes with Seulgi while continuing to unbutton her shirt.

Seulgi blinked. "What?"

Jaeyi’s smirk grew. "Your reward, remember?"

"Oh- yeah. Right." Seulgi fidgeted with the seam of her shirt, looking nervous. Jaeyi took her time unbuttoning the rest of her shirt, watching Seulgi’s reaction with amusement.

The moment her bra became visible, Seulgi dropped her gaze, suddenly finding her own hands incredibly interesting. It kind of reminded Jaeyi of the last time Seulgi stayed the night. Same reaction.

Jaeyi chuckled. "Since you’re still thinking about it, I’m going to take a bath. Maybe by the time I’m back, you’ll have an answer. Princess."

With a wink, Jaeyi walked past her and went straight into the bathroom. 

She didn’t see it, but after she left, Seulgi shut her eyes and buried her face into the bed with a groan.

"Do you have any idea what you want now?" Jaeyi asked the moment she stepped out of the bathroom, now clad in only a bathrobe.

Seulgi, who had been lying on the bed, stood up immediately, only to look away just as fast, her eyes darting everywhere except Jaeyi’s chest. She could see how Jaeyi was not wearing anything underneath. 

Jaeyi smirked. She loved this reaction.

"I-I’m sorry, Jaeyi-ya. I’m completely blocked. I can’t think of anything."

"That’s okay. No worries." Jaeyi walked closer, sitting next to Seulgi. "Sometimes, the winner can’t handle their prize. It’s understandable."

Seulgi looked at her, locking eyes with her intensely, clearly trying to keep her gaze from drifting to Jaeyi’s chest.

"You know…" Jaeyi started, her voice slow, teasing. "I might have some ideas for what you could request." She kept her gaze on the other girl's face.

Seulgi visibly tensed but still managed to ask, "What kind of ideas?"

"Well, for starters.." Jaeyi raised her right hand to sweetly tuck a strand of Seulgi's hair behind her ear. "I might really want to help you with anything you might need, and– I think you really need a massage right now. You seem a little tense tonight." Jaeyi let her hand drop to Seulgi’s thigh, giving it a light squeeze.

If Seulgi had been tense before, she certainly was now. Her eyes darted between Jaeyi’s gaze and the hand on her thigh, back and forth. "What? Do you even know how to massage?" she asked with a nervous giggle, clearly trying to mask her flustered state. It didn’t work.

"I know how to do a lot of things, princess," Jaeyi said smoothly. By now, she knew exactly what effect that nickname had on Seulgi, and she loved calling her that. Because, well, that’s what Seulgi was to her. "So, what do you say?"

"I-I don’t know, Jaeyi, I—"

"I promise you’ll love it." Jaeyi insisted, knowing Seulgi would give in if she did. "Remember, you’re the winner, and winners need their reward. Also, I’d be more than happy to do it." She gave Seulgi’s thigh another gentle squeeze for encouragement.

Seulgi hesitated for a long moment before finally giving in. "Okay, you can give me a massage—thank you, Jaeyi-ya."

"You don’t have to thank me. My best girl deserves nothing less." Jaeyi smiled, standing up and looking down at Seulgi expectantly.

"What?" Seulgi asked, looking up at her with puppy eyes, still fidgeting with the hem of her skirt.

"Well, dummy, how do you expect me to give you a massage? You need to take off your shirt and lie down," Jaeyi said matter-of-factly. "I could do it like this too, but it’d feel much better skin to skin. That way, I can also feel where you’re more tense."

"Oh–right," Seulgi muttered, but she still didn’t move. It seemed like she was waiting for something. Oh .

"I’ll turn around so you can take your shirt off, okay?"

At that, Seulgi nodded and waited for Jaeyi to turn around. And so she did.

As she stood facing away, she heard the faint rustle of fabric behind her. First, the soft shuffle of Seulgi slipping off her vest, then the quiet clicks of buttons being undone, one by one, until finally, the sound of her shirt being shrugged off and placed on the bed. More movement followed, and Jaeyi assumed Seulgi was now settling onto the mattress, lying face down.

"I’m ready," came Seulgi’s voice from behind her.

Jaeyi turned around.

No one in a million years could have put into words the storm of emotions that crashed through her at the sight before her. Seulgi lay stretched out on her bed, wearing nothing but a bra and her skirt, now slightly hiked up, riding higher than anyone had probably ever seen it before. You got yourself into this, Jaeyi. Now deal with it.

Jaeyi took a deep breath. But before approaching the bed, she walked over to her desk, pulled open a drawer, and took out her moisturizing oil. She usually used it for sore muscles, so it was nearly full. This is a much better use for it anyway.

After shutting the drawer, she made her way back, her knees pressing into the mattress as she climbed onto the bed.

"Alright, ready?" she asked.

The response came as a muffled sound of agreement, accompanied by Seulgi’s head nodding slightly, still face down.

"Is it okay if I get on top of you? I promise I won’t put too much pressure, it just helps with the angles," Jaeyi asked.

This time, Seulgi hesitated for a second too long before nodding again. That was all the permission Jaeyi needed. Without missing a beat, she moved into position, each leg on either side of Seulgi’s hips, settling down—barely.

After a few moments, Jaeyi poured some of the oil into her palm, set the bottle aside, and rubbed her hands together to warm it. She exhaled a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding before finally laying her palms on Seulgi’s back. The girl beneath her shuddered at the sensation, drawing in a sharp breath. You got this, Jaeyi.

She began moving her hands up and down Seulgi’s back, applying as much pressure as she could. It would be smoother without the bra strap, though.

"Can I– um, unclasp your bra? It’s kind of in the way, and I can’t cover your whole back properly."

This time, it was Seulgi who let out a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding. "Um, yeah—sure. If it’ll help, go ahead."

With that, Jaeyi carefully unclasped the bra, using only her fingertips to keep the oil off the fabric. She pushed the straps aside, letting them rest against Seulgi’s arms. Finally, she took in the smooth skin before her. Breathe, Jaeyi. Breathe.

Jaeyi pressed the heel of her palm against Seulgi’s back, slowly gliding it upward until she reached the nape of her neck. Her thumbs worked gentle circles into the small spot, the oil making her touch smooth and effortless, almost like magic.

And so, their little moment continued, the only sound in the room being the soft glide of Jaeyi’s hands against Seulgi’s back. It felt as if time had paused just for them, trapping them in this quiet, intimate bubble.

Until.

With a firm press on a particularly tense spot, Seulgi let out a shaky moan. It was low, involuntary, but it still reached Jaeyi’s ears. Oh my god.

Jaeyi froze, just for a millisecond, her hands hovering in shock. Her mind went blank before she forced herself to keep moving, pressing and rubbing again as if nothing had happened. People moan during massages, Jaeyi. Get a grip on your hormones!

Regardless of what her conscience told her, she desperately needed to hear that sound again. So she pressed harder, her hands kneading with just a little more intent.

And there it was. Low, breathy, choked sounds slipping from Seulgi’s throat. Her face was no longer buried in the pillow; she had turned to the side, giving Jaeyi a clear view of her furrowed brows, her clenched jaw.

Jaeyi hadn’t realized her lips had parted slightly until she quickly shut them, swallowing hard. "Do you like it?" she asked, her voice quieter than she intended.

Seulgi barely responded, just another choked moan and a small, almost hesitant nod.

Jaeyi’s emotions were on a roller coaster, one that was only climbing higher. And then it got worse. With a particularly deep stroke, Seulgi’s hips lifted, just slightly, but enough.

Jaeyi hadn’t noticed her bathrobe had ridden up. And even though she was still covered, the thin fabric of her underwear did little to shield her from the heat of Seulgi’s body pressing against her. Every twitch of Seulgi’s hips sent little jolts of sensation where they barely touched.

Jaeyi clenched her jaw, tilting her head back slightly as she shut her eyes. Breathe. Focus. She swallowed down the lump in her throat, biting her lower lip to suppress the sounds threatening to escape.

But Seulgi’s moans didn’t stop, even as she actively tried to hold them back. The body beneath Jaeyi began to squirm, and the arms that had once rested at her sides were now bent, hands near her face. Jaeyi couldn’t focus on anything else, just Seulgi’s face, the way she reacted to every touch, every movement.

Then, with a sudden roll of Seulgi’s hips, pressing right against Jaeyi’s most sensitive spot, she lost control. A loud moan escaped before she could stop it. Her eyes squeezed shut as she bit down on her lip, as if that could somehow erase the sound now echoing in the room.

When she finally dared to open her eyes, she looked down at Seulgi, desperate to take in her reaction. And what she saw only made the fire inside her burn hotter.

Seulgi’s lips were caught between her teeth, her cheeks flushed a deep red. The hand resting near her face clenched the sheets in a tight fist, and her eyes were squeezed shut, her entire body tensed.

Seulgi’s lack of resistance, her lack of being against what had just happened, only deepened the heat pooling inside Jaeyi. This realization sent a shiver through her.

With confidence, she let her hands drift lower, kneading slowly, deliberately. As her fingers pressed into Seulgi’s lower back, she lifted herself slightly, adjusting her position until she was perched more firmly over Seulgi’s hips. Then, she lowered herself back down, slowly, knowing that if she moved too fast, another sound might slip from her lips. 

When she saw Seulgi’s other hand clench the sheets, Jaeyi let herself move, rolling her hips slowly and pressing fully against Seulgi’s lower half.

She moved slowly, testing the other girl's limits, while also testing her own arousal. Her hands remained firm on Seulgi’s back, gliding up and down, pressing harder each time.

Her cue to continue came when a full, unrestrained moan finally slipped from Seulgi’s parted lips.

"Is this okay?" Jaeyi asked, needing to hear it.

There was no verbal answer, though, just another choked moan and a sharp twitch of Seulgi’s hips, her body arching into the sensation.

That was all Jaeyi needed. She picked up the pace, her hips rocking a little faster, her head dropping forward as the heat between them grew unbearable.

Beneath her, Seulgi turned her head to the other side, now facing right. Her moans wavering between muffled and uninhibited.

Jaeyi couldn't control herself, her own moans now matched Seulgi’s.

"Seulgi-" The name came out of her mouth involuntarily. 

Her hips were still rocking back and forth, now a little less controlled. Then, she saw how Seulgi's right hand started lowering and slipping in between the mattress and her body. The sight alone made Jaeyi’s pulse stutter, knowing exactly where the other girl's hand was going.

"My princess-" she breathed, voice unsteady, "You need some release too, don't you?"

Seulgi didn’t answer right away, but Jaeyi didn’t need her to. Instead, she leaned down, lips brushing near Seulgi’s ear, her hips still moving in slow, deliberate motions.

Her breath hitched as she realized, somehow in the movement, her robe had shifted, and her breasts were now exposed, pressing against Seulgi’s warm back. The sudden friction sent a shiver through her, her nipples brushing against soft, heated skin.

She sucked in a quiet breath at the sensation, but the way Seulgi exhaled, sharp and shaky, told her she felt it too.

"How long have you been thinking about this?" She murmured, placing a lingering kiss on Seulgi’s cheek. "I know I’ve been thinking about it a lot." She moves her mouth to the lobe of the ear, and sucks. 

"Jaeyi-" The way Seulgi moaned her name sent a shiver through her.

"You drive me crazy-" Jaeyi whispered, her lips barely an inch from Seulgi’s heated skin. "Look at me, Seulgi-"

With effort, Seulgi’s eyes fluttered open, her breath uneven, lips parted.

"I love watching you take care of yourself, baby," Jaeyi murmured. The nickname created a fresh moan out of Seulgi’s lips, "But when did I ever say you could?"

Seulgi’s eyes squeezed shut, her teeth sinking into her lip. Then, after a shaky exhale, she released it to say, "I’m sorry…"

Jaeyi smirked, ready to tease, but then, Seulgi’s voice continued.

"Ca-Can I? Please"

And just like that, Jaeyi broke. A soft gasp left her as she collapsed forward, her forehead resting against Seulgi’s shoulder, heart racing.

Jaeyi's hips continued their pace, her face still inches from Seulgi’s. She couldn't resist the other girl. She was drawn to everything about her. And she loved hearing her plea.

But, she also loved teasing. Even if it meant playing with her own stimulation as well.

"No-" she finally let out, lips barely grazing Seulgi’s. "You need to take your bath, remember?"

She placed a featherlight kiss at the seam of Seulgi’s lips, just enough to make the other girl chase after her. Jaeyi loved how Seulgi’s mouth instinctively followed, desperate for more. She wanted more too.

Which made it harder when she suddenly stopped, her movements coming to halt. Pulling back, Jaeyi rolled off Seulgi and dropped onto the bed beside her.

Seulgi didn’t move. She remained facedown, body still pressed into the mattress, her hand no longer between her thighs but now clenched around the pillow. Her face was buried in it too, muffling whatever frustration was feeling.

Jaeyi smirked. A part of her wanted to laugh, grab Seulgi, and finish what she started. But she was already committed. And if there was one thing about Jaeyi, it was that she never backed down. Damn it, Jaeyi, you and your twisted mind!

After a long breath, Seulgi finally sat up at the edge of the bed, gathering herself

The faint flush still dusted her face and neck, and Jaeyi drank in the sight, amused, and still a little breathless herself.

As Seulgi finally stood up, and started making her way to the bathroom, fists clenched at her sides, Jaeyi called out.

"You know-" She stood, closing the distance between them in a few slow steps.

Inches away now, she reached out, fingers curling around Seulgi’s wrist before pulling her back into an embrace from behind.

Jaeyi dipped her head, lips brushing the crook of Seulgi’s neck. "If you finish fast," she murmured, "we can continue even faster from where we left off." A teasing kiss sealed her promise before she stepped back, settling onto the bed with her legs crossed.

Needless to say, in the short time she had known Seulgi, she had never seen her run this fast.

This time, it was Jaeyi who let herself fall back onto the bed when Seulgi finally disappeared into the bathroom and the door clicked shut. Staring up at the ceiling. For the first time, a slight blush crept onto her cheeks, a smile tugging at her lips.

Jaeyi loved this.

Chapter Text

Stepping into the bathroom, breathless, Seulgi’s mind is full of what had just happened in the room minutes ago. She presses her back against the door, trying to steady her breathing. 

Dragging a hand up to her other arm, she pinches herself, she needs to confirm this isn’t just another dream.

It can’t be, right?

Her cheeks are still burning, her heart racing, and as she looks down at her hands, she realizes she’s trembling.

Jaeyi’s words still echo in her mind. "If you finish fast, we can continue even faster from where we left off." It makes her heart skip a beat, the fire inside her burning ten times stronger.

She kind of hates how desperate she must have looked after hearing that, bolting to the bathroom as if she couldn’t wait to continue. She couldn’t. But did she really have to show it that much? Her bra had even nearly slipped from her shoulders in the rush.

Taking a deep breath, she finally pushes herself off the door and walks toward the bathtub.

Stripping off her clothes is quick since she’s already half-undressed. But when she reaches her underwear, a shiver runs from the top of her head to the tips of her toes. The air in the room feels like ice compared to the heat lingering between her legs. The sensation nearly makes her whimper aloud, and she instinctively brings a hand up to her mouth, muffling any sound before it can escape.

Jaeyi might hear it if she does. And she refuses to give the other girl even more power over her, not more than she already knows she has. She can already picture the smug look Jaeyi probably has on her face right now.

With slow steps, she reaches out to turn on the water, but now without the barrier of her underwear, every movement reminds her how wet she is. How wet Jaeyi made her.

Once the water starts filling the tub, she perches on the edge, waiting. She grabs one of the liquid soaps and pours a bit under the running stream, watching as bubbles start to rise. When the tub is full, she turns off the tap and slowly lowers herself into the warm water.

The warmth wraps around her like an embrace, one she desperately needs.

Eyes locked on the swirling bubbles, her thoughts drift back to the girl outside.

She hadn’t expected any of this to happen. She blames herself and her lack of self-control for not being able to resist Jaeyi. Sometimes, she feels small next to her, not because she lacks confidence, but because Jaeyi makes her feel too much. More than she’s ever felt before.

She remembers the dream she had last time she was here. 

Immediately, her head tilts back, resting against the edge of the tub. She closes her eyes in remembrance, her tongue darting out to wet her bottom lip at the thought of Jaeyi’s lips. She had been so close to finally feeling them on her own some minutes ago.

She hates Jaeyi right now for playing with her. 

But this seems to be their new normal. Jaeyi speaks, and Seulgi follows.

Little does Seulgi know it’s the total opposite.

But no. Not tonight.

Once she steps out of this bathroom, she’s going to act as if nothing happened. She’ll show Jaeyi she’s not some puppy she can toy with. She’s all grown-up, fully capable of making decisions, of speaking her mind, of standing her ground. Just like she had when she confronted Kyung the other day in the classroom. 

She’s got this. For sure.

You’ve got this, Seulgi. You’ve got this.

The fact that she has to keep repeating it makes it seem like she definitely does not have this. But it’s better to live in fantasy.

As she stepped out of the bathroom, she swung the door closed behind her. She walked into the room, already dressed in the same nightgown Jaeyi had lent her last time.

“Finally," Jaeyi said, her tone light and nonchalant, as if she hadn’t been waiting.

But Seulgi wasn’t fooled. The moment she stepped out of the bathroom, from the corner of her eye, she caught how Jaeyi, who had been lying down, staring at the ceiling, suddenly sat up. Too fast. Too eager. As if she had been waiting all along.

"Finally what?" Seulgi challenged, sticking to what she had promised herself in the tub. She was not giving in. At least, not so fast and not so desperate.

Jaeyi visibly huffed at that. "Well- by the way you ran into the bathroom, I—" She hesitated for the briefest second, a flicker of nervousness crossing her eyes, making her look almost lost. But just as quickly, she recovered, slipping back into her usual confidence. "I just thought you’d be faster taking a bath, that’s all."

Seulgi’s gaze never wavered. "Well, you thought wrong." She walked toward the side of the bed where she had slept last time. 

As she settled in the mattress, she pulled the covers over herself, and she could feel Jaeyi’s bewildered stare burning into her.

"Are you really going to sleep?" Jaeyi’s voice came from behind her. She didn’t need to look back to imagine her eyebrows raised in disbelief.

"Of course. I’m tired." Finally, Seulgi turned her head just enough to glance at her. Jaeyi was still sitting up, looking exactly as she had pictured, confused. "You should go to sleep too. It’s late." She forced the most unconvincing smile.

Jaeyi huffed again, this time rolling her eyes. "I can’t believe you," she muttered, but still lay down and pulled the covers over herself.

There was a soft rustling, followed by the sound of Jaeyi’s phone unlocking. A moment later, the lights switched off, probably controlled by an app. Only the dim glow from Jaeyi’s closet light remained, casting soft shadows around the room.

Minutes passed.

Seulgi could feel the constant shifting behind her, Jaeyi definitely wasn’t finding a comfortable position.

But after about ten minutes, Seulgi’s eyelids grew heavy. The anesthesia from earlier still lingered in her system, making her drowsy.

Eventually, she drifted off.

Completely unaware of the girl beside her, eyes locked on her, watching her every breath.

The moment Seulgi’s eyes snapped open, her heart pounded, her breath unsteady.

She had just dreamt of herself as a little girl, lost in the woods, running, then falling off a clift. The nightmare wasn’t sharp or vivid anymore, but the feeling of it lingered, making it hard to register where she was. She exhaled slowly, grounding herself as she took in her surroundings.

Her gaze drifted across the dim glow of Jaeyi’s room, settling on the shape of the person beside her, seamlessly asleep. Letting out a quiet sigh, she shifted her focus upward, staring at the ceiling.

“Are you okay?” The voice beside her made her jump in place. She had thought Jaeyi was asleep, so she wasn’t expecting any noise coming from that side.

“Y-yeah,” Seulgi answered. “I’m sorry if I woke you up.” Now, she turned to look at the girl beside her.

Jaeyi was staring at her with a tender expression. “It’s okay, no worries-” She stopped for a second before continuing, “I wasn’t really sleeping anyway.”

“Why?” Seulgi didn’t feel like sleeping again. Not this soon, anyway.

“I don’t know,” Jaeyi shrugged. “I have a lot on my mind, I guess.”

At that, all Seulgi could give as a response was a nod and a hum before turning her gaze back to the ceiling.

“You can go back to sleep, though,” Jaeyi’s voice filled the silence again. “It’s still 1 a.m.”

“I don’t know if I’ll be able to go back to sleep.”

Seulgi could hear Jaeyi thinking before she finally said, “Do you need help?”

Seulgi didn’t know how to react to that. It was a similar request to the one Jaeyi had made earlier, so, needless to say, she was taken aback.

“Umm—”

“No worries,” Jaeyi giggled softly. “What I meant was— I can spoon you. It might help you sleep.”

Huh. I don’t know about that. She told herself.

But deep down, she knew that was exactly what she needed right now. So, she agreed without giving it a second thought.

“Okay.”

After giving that confirmation, she turned onto her side, her back now facing Jaeyi. She felt the other girl shift closer.

Jaeyi’s front pressed against her back, and then her arm draped around her waist. What she wasn’t expecting was Jaeyi’s breath in the crook of her neck. It sent shivers down her body. Again .

They stayed like that for a couple of minutes.

Seulgi’s hands were clasped together near her face, her eyes open, feeling each one of Jaeyi’s inhales and exhales.

Then, the arm wrapped around her waist pulled her in, softly, pressing her harder against Jaeyi’s body.

“You’re really warm,” Jaeyi whispered. “I like it. I’m cold.”

At this revelation, Seulgi felt a jolt of courage run through her. So she couldn’t stop herself when she said, “If you want—you can, um, put your hands inside my shirt.”

A few seconds passed before she felt Jaeyi’s hand start to move.

She made her way to the hem of Seulgi’s shirt, and slowly, as if careful not to scare her away, she slid her hand underneath the fabric.

Seulgi took a deep breath when Jaeyi’s palm met her bare skin. She’s cold.

“I told you I was cold,” Jaeyi chuckled, but Seulgi didn’t answer, instead she just hummed in response.

A few more beats passed. No sound filled the room but their breathing.

Then, she felt Jaeyi’s hand start to move.

Soft, slow, circular motions, as if testing the ground. Seulgi didn’t say anything. But she did push back, her body pressing even closer against Jaeyi’s front.

They stayed like that for some minutes. Jaeyi never once stopped the movements, but her breath against Seulgi’s neck grew slightly more uneven.

Then, the hand started to move upward, still slow, still careful. Seulgi bit the inside of her cheek, hyper-aware of how exposed she was beneath the shirt.

Seulgi tried to keep her breathing steady, but the moment Jaeyi’s fingers reached the underside of her breasts, everything in her body tensed.

Jaeyi noticed, because she immediately began to retreat, her hand slowly moving back down, no longer tracing circles against her skin. Seulgi could feel her pulling away, the slight shift in distance between them.

She probably thought Seulgi got uncomfortable.

As she felt Jaeyi’s body shift back even more, Seulgi instinctively grabbed the hand that was almost slipping out of her shirt, and pushed it back up, decidedly.

“Yo-you can continue. I-it feels nice,” she said, but hated the way her voice trembled.

She felt Jaeyi hesitate for a second, as if she wasn’t sure she had heard Seulgi correctly. As if she thought she was imagining the consent.

But when Seulgi gave another tug at the hand under her shirt as if giving a silent encouragement, Jaeyi quickly got the message and began tracing soft caresses over her skin again.

The hand was back on the underside of her breasts. A little higher now. Seulgi took a sharp breath.

Jaeyi’s hand moved slow, deliberate, horizontal strokes along the curves of her chest. The fingertips were no longer cold, instead, they felt like fire against Seulgi’s skin.

Then, Seulgi felt Jaeyi’s other arm, the one she had been using to prop her head up, begin to shift. A moment later, there was a gentle brush against the side of her neck. Jaeyi was moving the strands of hair that had fallen over, covering her neck.

Once satisfied, Jaeyi propped her head back up her hand, and Seulgi could feel it, the way the other girl’s gaze burned into her face and neck. Just like she felt Jaeyi’s fingers on her abdomen, teasing higher, only to glide back down again, over and over.

“I like your neck.” Jaeyi’s voice came out as a whisper, her breath warm against Seulgi’s cheek. “I also like your face.” That last part sounded almost like a confession.

It stirred something inside her, something that made her feel bold enough to answer. “You can come closer, then.”

The moment the words left her mouth, she felt Jaeyi nuzzle into the crook of her neck, breathing in deeply.

“You smell so good. I love your scent, Seulgi-ya,” she murmured, before pressing a kiss exactly where her nose had just been.

Seulgi sucked in a sharp breath, biting down on the index finger of the hand that was still near her face.

Another kiss followed, but this time, it was open-mouthed. A wave of heat washed over her, everything inside her stirring at the sensation. And before she could even think, the same hand that had guided Jaeyi’s earlier grabbed it again, almost involuntarily.

She didn’t exactly know why she had grabbed it in the first place, probably just her body reacting on its own. But now that it was in her grasp, she took another bold move and slowly guided it higher. As she did, she felt Jaeyi’s breath hitch, just slightly. That alone gave her even more encouragement to continue. See? You also have power over her, Seulgi.

The moment Jaeyi’s palm fully pressed against her left breast, a soft moan escaped her lips, one she had been drowning for a while now.

Jaeyi wasted no time, and continued pressing wet, open-mouthed kisses along the exposed side of Seulgi’s neck. But now, she was gently kneading the soft flesh under her palm.

When Jaeyi finally moved to the other breast, she didn’t knead this one. Instead, she took the already perked nipple between her fingers, giving it a slow, teasing pinch. It was almost gentle, but still sent a sharp sensation straight to Seulgi’s core.

This time, the moan that slipped from Seulgi’s lips was no longer restrained.

Quite the opposite, it was loud, loud enough to make heat rush to her face in embarrassment.

But the shyness didn’t last, because the moment the sound left her lips, it dragged out an equally strong reaction from Jaeyi.

Jaeyi let out a moan of her own, though it was muffled, her mouth still covering Seulgi’s neck, never pausing in her ministrations against the skin beneath her lips.

They stayed like that for a while, Jaeyi making Seulgi squirm beneath her touch.

Until, suddenly, Jaeyi’s hand left the warmth of her skin, slipping out from under the silk shirt. Seulgi immediately missed the heat of her touch.

Then Jaeyi leaned in, lips brushing against the shell of her ear before she bit down lightly on the lobe. “Can you take it off?”

Seulgi took a second to process what Jaeyi had just asked, but when she did, she gave a small nod. Lifting herself up slightly. She realized she didn’t have the patience to unbutton it, so instead, she tugged it off over her head, tossing it to the floor before settling back onto her side.

“God, Seulgi-ya–” the voice was barely a whisper. “You are so beautiful,” Jaeyi let her hand drag up and down the curve of her waist, as if memorizing the shape of it. Before quickly pulling it up again to the now uncovered chest. “I want you so much” she murmured, resuming her kisses along Seulgi’s neck. 

After merely seconds, those kisses grew hungrier, rougher. Jaeyi’s teeth scraped against the nape of Seulgi’s neck, trailing all the way up to her ear.

Seulgi was losing her mind every time Jaeyi reached her ear, the ragged breaths, the soft moans spilling directly into it. God , she thought, I don’t know how much longer I can take this.

Then, suddenly, the warmth on her chest disappeared, again. 

Jaeyi’s hand left her breast, only to move higher, up to her lips.

But before Seulgi could react, she heard Jaeyi’s low voice.

“Can you open your mouth for me, princess?”

The nickname stirred something deep inside her. So, without hesitation, she parted her lips, taking one of Jaeyi’s fingers into her mouth. She slightly turned her head, locking eyes with the girl behind her as she did.

Jaeyi’s lips parted, her gaze dropping to watch her own finger disappear between Seulgi’s lips.

A soft moan escaped Seulgi as Jaeyi slid another finger inside. The vibration of the sound seemed to send a shiver through Jaeyi’s fingers, as Jaeyi’s eyes fluttered closed, her chest rising with a slow, deep inhale before she whispered, “You’re such a good girl for me, Seulgi-ya.”

The way she said it, breathless, almost overwhelmed, sent a rush of heat straight through Seulgi.

Without thinking, she reached up, grabbing Jaeyi’s wrist, and slowly pulled the fingers from her mouth with a soft pop. Then, dragging her tongue from the base of Jaeyi’s fingers to the tips, she took them in again, this time, adding a third.

Jaeyi let out a deep, unrestrained moan, her tongue darting out to wet her lips.

But then, something shifted in Jaeyi’s expression.

Before Seulgi could react, Jaeyi slipped her fingers out of her mouth and began dragging them down.

“Turn onto your back.” The voice was gentle, but firm. A demand disguised as a request.

And Seulgi had no choice but to obey.

She turned, pressing her back fully against the mattress, her gaze locked onto Jaeyi’s, expectant, burning.

Jaeyi’s hand, which had stopped near her collarbone, continued downward.

The moment wet fingers brushed over her right nipple, Seulgi moaned loudly.

Jaeyi’s touch was relentless, teasing, torturous. She rolled the hardened peak between her fingertips, playing with it roughly, sending jolts of pleasure straight to Seulgi’s core.

“Tell me how much you like it,” Jaeyi murmured, now nearly on top of her, eyes dark with something almost unrecognizable.

“Jaeyi-ya–” Seulgi moaned, “Please-” It wasn’t a direct response, but the meaning was clear.

"Look at you—" Jaeyi’s fingers moved up to her own mouth, coating them in warmth before pulling them out again. Without wasting a second, she pressed them back down against Seulgi’s other breast, slick and eager. "A wreck, just for me." She continued, biting down on her bottom lip, eyes locked onto Seulgi’s.

“Jaeyi–” Seulgi couldn’t resist calling out her name now, even if that was all she would be able to say from this moment on.

When Jaeyi dropped her head, placing wet kisses along her neck, trailing lower, Seulgi knew it was her downfall.

The moment Jaeyi’s lips wrapped around her nipple, sucking, then releasing it, Seulgi’s left hand shot to the other girl’s back, nails digging into soft flesh. But she was in no position to care about being gentle right now.

“Seulgi–.” The way Jaeyi moaned, mouth still latched onto her nipple, hand still pressing firmly against the other, sent sharp pulses of arousal straight to Seulgi’s core.

She couldn’t hold on any longer. She needed more. She needed touch where she craved it most.

Seulgi barely managed to open her eyes, looking down at the girl working her tongue over her hardened nipple. Her hand, which had been resting on Jaeyi’s back, slid back down to her side, fingers grasping a fistful of sheets, eager, desperate.

“Jaeyi—please—”

The way her voice came out, high-pitched and whiny, would have embarrassed her in any other situation. But right now, there were no reasonable thoughts in her mind.

“What do you need?” Jaeyi looked up, eyes dark with arousal.

The sight alone made Seulgi squirm in anticipation.

“Please—” she whined again. “Please–”

Seulgi heard Jaeyi chuckle, and, ugh, she almost hated it.

Some hours ago, she had told herself to be strong, to not give in so easily. And now she was begging? Ugh.

But then, “What, baby?” Jaeyi’s soft voice sinked in her ears, soft and teasing. And God, that nickname. The moment it dropped from Jaeyi’s lips, everything inside and outside Seulgi trembled at once.

Jaeyi paused her mouthwork, lips leaving Seulgi’s skin as she began moving upward, toward her face.

The way her lips lingered against Seulgi’s neck as she kissed her way up made her whine.

As Jaeyi hovered just above her, Seulgi felt the hand that had been resting on her left breast start to move, slowly, down.

Their breathing mingled now, every shaky exhale from Jaeyi’s lips gently brushing over Seulgi’s own.

Seulgi needed to taste her. She wanted to know how it actually felt to have Jaeyi’s lips on her own. 

So, she wet her lips, gaze flickering between Jaeyi’s eyes and the way her lips parted, her tongue sliding out to do the same.

“Can I, princess?”

Seulgi wasn’t sure if Jaeyi was asking for permission to slip her hand past the waistband of the silk shorts or if she was asking to drop down and kiss her.

But either way, she nodded.

Slowly, she lifted her hand, placing it gently on Jaeyi’s shoulder.

The moment Jaeyi’s fingers began to move inside the shorts—

Thump .

A noise sounded from outside the door.

Seulgi tried to ignore it. Jaeyi didn’t seem to react, so maybe it was nothing.

But,

Thump.

Jaeyi’s hand didn’t stop. She was already under the shorts, fingers sliding further, now at the waistband of her underwear.

Woof… Woof…

The noise was clearer now.

Woof…

Je-Hyun.

“Jaeyi’” Seulgi called, her voice laced with a warning tone.

But Jaeyi showed no reaction.

She kept leaning in, eyes fluttering shut, as if she hadn’t heard her at all.

Seulgi’s brows knitted together in confusion. She lifted the hand on Jaeyi’s shoulder, tapping lightly.

“Jaeyi-ya.”

Nothing.

Woof… Woof…

Seulgi’s chest tightened. Can’t Jaeyi hear Je-Hyun barking? Something felt off.

Reluctantly, she pushed Jaeyi back, gripping her shoulder firmly. “Jaeyi-ya, stop!”

The moment the words left her mouth, she shot up, sitting upright in bed.

Wait .

Suddenly, her eyelids felt heavy. 

Woof… Woof…

She could still hear Je-Hyun barking, but.. why did the room seem brighter now?

“Are you okay?” The voice coming from behind made her jump in place.

Wait, what? This feels like déjà vu.

Why was she breathing so hard?

“Hey, Seulgi-ya,” The voice behind her called again.

She turned around and found Jaeyi staring at her, confused. She was sitting up, leaning against the bed’s headboard.

Seulgi blinked, then slowly turned her gaze down at herself. She was fully dressed.

"No..." she murmured, so quietly that only she could hear herself.

No. Not again.

She could still hear Je-Hyun barking outside, but her thoughts were only focused on what had just happened.

She had another dream about Jaeyi.

The realization hit her like a wave, and she slumped forward, dropping her head into her hands, arms resting on her knees.

“Seulgi-ya, you’re scaring me. What’s going on?” Jaeyi’s voice was closer now, and then, a warm hand pressed against her back.

The touch sent a shiver down her spine, as her mind relieved every moment of the dream.

“…No—nothing.” Her voice came out hoarse, so she cleared her throat before continuing. “Nothing, I’m sorry. I was just dreaming.” She whispered the last part, trying to regain her voice. “Sorry for waking you up.”

She could feel Jaeyi’s gaze on her.

“Nothing to apologize for. It’s okay–” Jaeyi paused for a second before adding, “I wasn’t sleeping anyway.”

Seulgi froze.

That was exactly what Jaeyi had said in her dream.

Weird.

“Why?” she asked, turning her head slightly to the side, making eye contact with the other girl.

“I don’t know.” Jaeyi shrugged.

Oh my god, what’s happening? Why is this going exactly like my dream? Seulgi thought, a flicker of unease creeping in, until Jaeyi continued.

“I woke up a few minutes ago when I heard you making some noise.”

The terrified shock was quickly replaced by embarrassment. Seulgi immediately dropped her gaze, staring down at her hands now resting in her lap. Then, without warning, she fell back onto the bed with flop, hands covering her face. No sound came out of her mouth, just silent suffering.

After a few seconds, Jaeyi’s voice filled the quiet. “What were you dreaming of?”

Peeking between her fingers, Seulgi glanced up at Jaeyi, who was now looking down at her, expectant.

But Seulgi saw it.

She saw the way Jaeyi’s face fought to suppress a smirk. Seulgi groaned.

She didn’t answer the question. Instead, she muttered, “What time is it?”

Jaeyi turned to check her phone before replying. “Almost 7 a.m--”

At that, Seulgi covered her face again. “I should go,” she mumbled into her hands.

But Jaeyi, as if she hadn’t heard her at all, simply asked, “What were we doing in your dream?”

Seulgi went completely still. The question left her speechless.

And when she didn’t answer, Jaeyi continued. “I’m asking because-” Jaeyi said, shifting until she was laying back on her side next to Seulgi. “I heard you mumbling my name several times… and also-” She paused, making Seulgi turn her head toward her, waiting. “You were making weird noises–almost like moaning.”

She finished the sentence with a full smirk.

Seulgi wanted to wipe that smirk off her face.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” That was her only response. And after a beat “I should go,” she repeated. 

Yet, she still didn’t move.

Jaeyi’s smirk widened.

“You know, it’s Saturday, so you can stay a bit longer if you’d like.” Seulgi felt Jaeyi shift closer. “If you want, of course.”

Then she felt it. Jaeyi’s hand, slipping beneath the covers.

Seulgi let out a small chuckle, but still made no effort to stand up.

“Why do you want me to stay longer?” she asked.

Jaeyi shrugged. “I don’t know.” And then, her hand moved. Settling on Seulgi’s thigh, under the covers.“What if we start with you telling me what your dream was about?”

As she said the last words, the hand on Seulgi’s thigh began to move.

Tentatively.

Higher.

All Seulgi could do was swallow the lump forming in her throat.

“Again…” she murmured, fingers pressing slightly into Seulgi’s skin. “Remember–” she whispered, leaning in just a bit closer, “I love helping you out with anything,” A brief pause. Her hand inched up.“And everything you might need.”

Seulgi just started at Jaeyi back. 

She kind of loved this.

Chapter Text

Jaeyi wasn’t sure what had woken her at first.

All she knew was that, suddenly, her body stirred awake. Her eyes remained closed, but her ears slightly alert, trying to pinpoint what had pulled her from sleep.

The room was quiet, except for the occasional soft rustling of sheets and the faint hum of the wind ruffling outside. Dismissing it as nothing, she shifted slightly nestling an inch closer to the warmth beside her, ready to drift back to sleep.

But then, she heard it, a breathy murmur. Quiet, but strained.

Her brows furrowed, eyes still closed.

Then another one, accompanied by a small twitch from the body next to her. Barely there, but enough to make her stir.

And then, a breathy mumble “Jaeyi–”

Jaeyi’s eyes snapped open. She blinked, adjusting to the dim glow of the room, her gaze immediately falling on the girl beside her.

Seulgi was still asleep, or at least, it looked like she was. 

But she wasn’t still. 

Her fingers were twitching slightly against her stomach, moving in uneven bursts as if reacting to something in her dream. Her brows knitted together, her chest rising and falling in unsteady, shallow breaths.

Jaeyi didn’t move, just watched, trying to make sense of what she was seeing.

Another quiet sound slipped from Seulgi’s lips. Soft, shaky, almost a whimper.

Jaeyi felt something flicker in her chest. Oh .

She propped herself up on her elbow, tilting her head as she watched Seulgi shift against the sheets, lips parting slightly, breath apparently catching in her throat. 

Jaeyi bit the inside of her cheek, fighting the smirk threatening to pull at her lips.

It didn’t take a genius to figure out what kind of dream this was.

She should probably wake her up, not wanting to intrude. But, something in her didn’t let her. 

After what happened last night, Jaeyi hadn’t expected to hear and see this again, at least not so soon. So, this was interesting.

Also, hearing her name fall from Seulgi’s parted lips again? God. How could she possibly stop that?

Jaeyi’s fingers twitched against the sheets, resisting the urge to reach out, to test just how deep into the dream Seulgi really was.

Before she could entertain the thought any further, a sharp sound cut through the air, something falling outside the room.

Seulgi twitched.

And then, Je-Hyun’s sudden bark.

The sharp noise ripped through the room, startling Jaeyi upright.

She sat up slightly, rubbing her eyes, propping herself against the headboard. “Je-Hyun, shh–” she muttered sleepily, her voice hoarse from sleep.

Next to her, Seulgi gasped. Not fully awake, but her body jerked, her breath coming out harsher now.

Another wave of barks echoed from outside.

Jaeyi barely had time to process it before Seulgi shot upright, sitting up so fast that Jaeyi startled. But she stilled, watching as the other girl’s shoulders rose and fell with deep, unsteady breaths. Staring straight ahead, frozen.

Jaeyi sat up fully now, leaning against the headboard, brows drawing together in confusion. “Are you okay?”

Seulgi flinched. Jaeyi blinked.

“Hey, Seulgi-ya,” she called softly when there was no response.

Seulgi finally turned to her, and Jaeyi saw it, raw confusion in her eyes. Then, her gaze dropped, as if doing a quick double-check on herself.

Jaeyi tilted her head.

Seulgi muttered something under her breath, too quiet to catch.

And when the girl’s entire posture deflated, slumping forward, dropping her face into her hands, Jaeyi took it as confirmation. Not only had she been right about what Seulgi was dreaming, but now it was obvious that Seulgi remembered it.

A mix of curiosity, amusement, and pride stirred in her chest. She licked her lips, watching carefully.

“Seulgi-ya, you’re scaring me. What’s going on?” she said softly, unsure how else to proceed. She inched closer before pressing a hand against Seulgi’s back.

She reveled in the way Seulgi tensed immediately under her touch.

What followed was a mix of visible uneasiness and hushed apologies for waking her. But the moment Jaeyi mentioned she hadn’t been sleeping, Seulgi halted. When asked why, Jaeyi took it as an opening, feigning confusion before casually admitting she’d heard the noises Seulgi was making.

At that confession, Seulgi let out a silent sigh and flopped onto the bed, hands covering her face, in what Jaeyi could only assume was pure mortification.

Still staring down at her, a slow smile crept onto her lips at the clear embarrassment on Seulgi’s covered face.

So, in the most innocent, dumbfounded voice she could muster, Jaeyi asked, “What were you dreaming of?” She couldn’t resist the smirk tugging at her lips as she said it, though.

Seulgi just stared up at her from between her fingers, irritation flickering in her gaze. Instead of answering, she muttered, “What time is it?” and Jaeyi just glanced at her phone before answering.

The answer had barely left her lips before Seulgi let out a muffled sigh, covered her face again, and mumbled something about leaving. Jaeyi almost laughed. That flustered, desperate attempt to escape. Cute .

But Jaeyi wasn’t about to let her off that easily. So she asked again, this time with no subtlety. “What were we doing in your dream?”

Jaeyi watched as Seulgi went rigid. Got her .

“I’m asking because—” Smirking, she shifted closer, now lying on her side. “I heard you mumbling my name… and also–” Seulgi shot her a glance. “You were making weird noises…” Jaeyi let the words linger before adding, “Almost like moaning.”

Seulgi’s weak attempt at denial only made Jaeyi’s smirk widen. Noticing the blush creeping up her cheeks, Jaeyi couldn’t help but push further. And when Seulgi murmured again that she was leaving, without actually moving, Jaeyi took that as an invitation.”

“You know, it’s Saturday,” she mused, shifting even closer. “You can stay a bit longer if you’d like.”

And just as expected, Seulgi didn’t directly refuse.

So Jaeyi let her hand slip beneath the covers, slow, deliberate.

She felt Seulgi tense, and heard the soft chuckle that followed when she asked why Jaeyi wanted her to stay. Not rejection.

Amused, Jaeyi shrugged. “I don’t know.” Her fingers found their place on Seulgi’s thigh, featherlight against warm flesh. “What if we start with you telling me what your dream was about?” Her hand moved higher.

Jaeyi felt the sharp breath and swallow Seulgi took, the tension humming beneath her skin.

Then, she leaned in, whispering against her ear, savoring how still Seulgi had gone. “Again…” Her fingers pressed slightly into her skin. “Remember–” A pause, just long enough to make her shiver. “I love helping you out with anything,” Her hand inched up. “And everything you might need.”

Seulgi met her gaze, wide-eyed, breath unsteady.

Jaeyi’s fingers stayed still, pressing just firmly enough against Seulgi’s thigh, testing, waiting. Seeing if she’d pull away.

But she didn’t.

Jaeyi let the silence settle between them, let the weight of her touch linger before she finally started moving again.

Her fingers barely ghosted over Seulgi’s skin, inching higher, feeling the way her muscles tensed, the slight hitch in her breath.

And still… Seulgi didn’t stop her.

God.

Jaeyi’s gaze flickered downward, taking in the way Seulgi’s chest rose and fell, the way her lips parted slightly, how her fingers twitched against the sheets. Her own breathing grew heavier, heat radiating between them, the air thick with something almost intoxicating.

She leaned in, just slightly, her breath brushing against Seulgi’s cheek. Her hand slid up, just a little more.

And then–Seulgi grabbed her wrist.

Not hard. Not desperate. Just enough.

Jaeyi stilled, her eyes flicking back up, locking with Seulgi’s once again. And she became hyper-aware of how her heartbeat pounded against Seulgi’s palm. Of the warmth of Seulgi’s fingers wrapped around her wrist, firm, steady, just barely trembling.

Seulgi’s eyes were dark, unreadable, lips pressed together like she was at war with herself.

“Seulgi?” Jaeyi’s voice was quiet, careful.

She wasn’t rejecting this. Jaeyi knew that much. But she wasn’t fully giving in either.

So Jaeyi didn’t move, didn’t pull away. Just let her warmth sink into Seulgi’s skin. A silent invitation. A question left unanswered.

Until she saw the way Seulgi’s gaze dropped to her mouth. The way she licked her lips, leaving them slightly parted.

Jaeyi dared to break the bubble they were wrapped in, softly whispering, “Seulgi-ya—”

She expected Seulgi to look up at her again. What she didn’t expect was the sudden pressure around her wrist, Seulgi tightening her grip and guiding her hand. 

Not up. No. Seulgi moved her hand to the warmth of her inner thighs. Slowly.

Jaeyi was sure her reaction was something worth capturing on camera. Lips parted, eyes wide. When did Seulgi take the lead?

“Do you really want to know what I dreamt?” Seulgi breathed, and Jaeyi felt the slight shift in the bed, the faint parting of the other girl’s legs.

Jaeyi swallowed soundlessly, suddenly unable to form a single word, a single syllable. So she just nodded.

She could already feel the heat radiating from between Seulgi’s thighs, and it nearly made her roll her eyes back, but she refused to give in so easily. She had already let her guard down more than she was used to, in less than five minutes.

A strangled, almost desperate sound left Seulgi’s throat, and then, the warmth around Jaeyi’s hand disappeared.

Suddenly, Seulgi let go of her and began sitting up.

It took Jaeyi a second to register what had just happened. But once she did, a choked scoff escaped her lips.

No. She won’t leave me like this. Not again.

Before she could think twice, Jaeyi moved forward, pressing her weight onto her left elbow. The hand that had been left limp on Seulgi’s thigh now shot to the hip, grabbing tight and pulling the other girl in. “No, Seulgi, you won’t do this to me again.”

She pulled the girl until she was straddling her, hands now pressed against Jaeyi’s chest.

Seulgi’s face was in shock, body still tense as she steadied herself, now fully sitting. Her hands slid down Jaeyi’s torso. Leaving a lingering feeling. 

Jaeyi sat up, her right hand, the one that had been gripping Seulgi’s hip, sliding up, tracing along the curve of her waist, her neck, until it cradled her jaw. Her fingers spread, her index caressing the soft skin of her cheek, and then, her thumb joined, brushing over Seulgi’s bottom lip.

“Princess—” she started, her gaze locked onto the lip under her thumb, watching as the mouth beneath her touch parted slightly. “Please… don’t leave me like this again.”

Jaeyi would never be caught dead begging for something. But this was Seulgi. And she’d do anything for her.

Seulgi’s lips parted further, but no words came. Jaeyi’s tongue flicked out, wetting her own lips at the sight.

Their faces were inches apart now, each breath intermingling, the air between them thick. Jaeyi’s other hand was still on Seulgi’s thigh, and she couldn’t resist, her fingers tightened there, giving the flesh a squeeze. At the touch, Seulgi stilled, her breath seemingly caught in her throat.

But, after a few seconds, Seulgi adjusted her posture, settling in, relaxing just a little more. Which meant that now Jaeyi could feel her weight pressing down on her even more.

At the sensation, she kept moving her thumb, and with Seulgi’s mouth already slightly open, she took advantage, pressing her thumb past Seulgi’s bottom lip.

“Can you open your mouth for me, princess?” Jaeyi mumbled, unable to stop herself.

Seulgi’s eyes widened just slightly, and she slumped a little more against Jaeyi, hands shifting to rest on her shoulders. Then, slowly, she muttered, “Yo-you said that in my dream.”

“Oh yeah?” Jaeyi gave a quick smile, but it was immediately replaced by the same lustful intensity she’d carried for the last few minutes. “And what did you answer?”

Seulgi hesitated. A brief pause, like she was deciding what to say or do. Then, Jaeyi watched as Seulgi’s lips parted slightly, wrapping around the warmth of her thumb.

“Oh god—” Jaeyi exhaled, taking in a deep breath she didn’t know she needed.

Seulgi’s eyes never left hers. She just sat there, unmoving, as Jaeyi watched and felt the wet heat of the tongue swirling around her thumb. Seulgi’s left hand moved from Jaeyi’s shoulder, fingers wrapping around her wrist, steadying the thumb inside her mouth.

Her other hand, though, moved lower, hovering for a moment before resting on Jaeyi’s left hand, the one still pressing into the thigh. Seulgi held it there for a few seconds.

Then, slowly, she grabbed Jaeyi’s wrist, guiding her touch upward, across her torso, beneath her shirt.

With a soft pop, Seulgi released Jaeyi’s thumb, but kept hold of her wrist, her lips still lightly brushing against it. 

“You… also had your hand here—” she murmured, finally guiding Jaeyi’s hand to rest on top of her right breast.

The moment Jaeyi felt the hardened peak beneath her palm, a shiver ran through her entire body. And she felt Seulgi shudder in response, the other girl biting her lip, squeezing her eyes shut for a second before opening them again, gaze locking onto Jaeyi’s again.

“Fuck—” It was the only thing Jaeyi could manage as she started kneading the flesh beneath her hand.

She had never been left speechless before. There’s truly a first time for everything, huh.

“Seulgi, I…” She finally managed to say. And before Seulgi could move her thumb inside her mouth again, Jaeyi pulled her hand away, slipping it beneath the other girl’s shirt instead. 

She pushed the fabric up.

Seulgi quickly caught on and helped lift the shirt over her head, tossing it aside.

And just like that, Jaeyi was left with nothing to do but stare, Seulgi’s bare torso right in front of her. Her left hand still kneading the breast, while her right hand dug into the soft skin of Seulgi’s waist.

“Fuck—” Do you only know three words? God, stand up for yourself, Jaeyi. Ugh.

“Jaeyi—” Seulgi started, “You know—” but her breath hitched the moment she felt Jaeyi’s mouth suddenly wrap around her left nipple. “..Fuck—” she moaned, forehead slumping onto Jaeyi’s shoulder.

Jaeyi felt Seulgi’s nails press into her skin, digging into the same spot where her hands had landed after removing her shirt.

“Mhm?” Jaeyi hummed, letting Seulgi know she was listening, or at least, trying to. But with the hardened peak in her mouth, focusing was becoming increasingly difficult. 

Her arms were now wrapped tightly around Seulgi’s waist, holding her close, as if loosening her grip would make Seulgi slip away

Once Seulgi seemed to catch her breath, she continued, still pressing her forehead to Jaeyi’s shoulder.

“Umm—” a pause. “Th-there was just one thing you didn’t get to finish in my dream—”

Jaeyi’s ears perked up, though, her mouth was now moving to Seulgi’s neglected nipple.

Seulgi’s hands slid down from her shoulders. Until out of nowhere, the warmth on Jaeyi’s lips vanished. In her daze, she felt Seulgi’s left leg lift slightly off the mattress, just for two seconds, before dropping back down. The warmth returned as Seulgi’s hands found their way back to her shoulders.

It took a moment for her brain to catch up. When she glanced down, her breath hitched. Seulgi sat on top of her again, now nearly bare, only her underwear left. She took off her shorts. And you were too oblivious to even notice!

“Well—” Seulgi’s voice pulled her from her thoughts. “There were actually two things you… didn’t get to finish—”

“What?” Jaeyi mumbled, her hands now tightening around Seulgi’s waist. Her gaze flicked back up, locking onto Seulgi’s. Hooded. Both of them.

Eyes heavy with desire.

Seulgi didn’t answer, not with words. Instead, her left hand moved again, slipping downward until it found Jaeyi’s right.

Then Jaeyi felt a shift. The way Seulgi lifted her body ever so slightly, still guiding her hand.

When warm heat almost enveloped her fingers, Jaeyi’s eyes dropped, and saw Seulgi's hand atop hers, leading her exactly where she wanted.

Seulgi didn’t need to say anything for Jaeyi to understand what she expected.

So, without hesitation, Jaeyi pressed her palm over her, right over the thin fabric of her underwear. Seulgi’s back arching instantly.

Jaeyi quickly adjusted, shifting her touch. Instead of pressing her palm down, she dragged her index and middle finger over the damp, parted heat of Seulgi, easily felt through the thin fabric. 

A shaky moan slipped from Jaeyi’s lips the moment she felt the wetness.

“Seulgi-ya…” she let out without realizing, then continued, “You’re so…” she inhaled, “...wet—” she exhaled.

The instant Seulgi’s hips twitched on top of her, Jaeyi knew she couldn’t tease any longer.

At this moment, all her usual games, all the teasing, all of it, just gone. She was completely lost in the moment, unwilling to hold back even a little.

But before that, she needed something else first.

“Seulgi-ya..” she called out.

“Hm?” was all she got in response. It wasn’t even fully voiced, just a noise slipping from Seulgi’s throat.

Jaeyi swallowed hard. “I really, really need to kiss you.”

In an instant, Seulgi pulled her in, their bodies pressing flush against each other, no space left between them.Then, she tilted her head down, just enough for Jaeyi to meet her halfway.

Their lips met.

At first, it was nothing more than a soft press, Seulgi’s warm lips fitting against hers just right. Gentle, but enough to set Jaeyi ablaze. A moment stretched between them, feeling endless. Until, far too soon, Seulgi began to pull back.

Disappointment rushed through Jaeyi. But then, Seulgi didn’t move away completely. Instead, she tilted her head, parted her lips, and pressed back in. This time, deeper. Their mouths slotted together in a slow, open-mouthed kiss.

Jaeyi felt as if she’d been waiting for this for a million years, and had finally been granted her wish.

As soon as she felt how Seulgi melted fully into the kiss, Jaeyi took her chance. Her fingers, still resting against Seulgi’s underwear, shifted, pushing the fabric aside.

The second her fingers slid through dripping wet heat, Seulgi moaned, soft, breathless, right into Jaeyi’s mouth. 

Jaeyi swallowed the sound greedily, letting it consume her. A moan of her own slipped free, hungry, unrestrained, lost between their lips.

“Baby–” she murmured, pulling back just enough so their lips still brushed. “You’re really soaking wet—” she smirked. “Just because of a dream? Aw.” After all, she couldn’t fully set aside her pride.

She is like this just for you .

It was that thought, paired with Seulgi’s whimper, what pushed Jaeyi past her limit.

She slid her tongue out, licking along Seulgi’s bottom lip.

And when Seulgi didn’t back away, when instead, she wrapped her lips around her tongue and sucked. Jaeyi snapped.

A deep moan ripped from Jaeyi’s throat as Seulgi’s tongue tangled with hers. Seulgi’s hands tightened around her neck, tilting her head just right, aligning their mouths perfectly.

Jaeyi’s left hand tightened around Seulgi’s waist, fingers digging in. And in one swift motion, her right hand shifted. Instead of circling Seulgi’s clit, she pressed a finger to her entrance.

And without warning, Jaeyi pushed in.

“Fuck—Jaeyi-ah–” Seulgi groaned, arching her back, eyes squeezing shut, fingers digging into Jaeyi’s shoulders as if grounding herself. “Ja—”

Jaeyi was about to slip her finger out, but then she felt Seulgi start to move, rocking into her touch, her walls pulling her in deeper with every motion. So instead, Jaeyi moved her hand down from Seulgi’s waist, gripping her hip, silently urging her on.

“Seulgi-ya–” Jaeyi murmured, “Look at me, baby–” The only sounds in the room were wet, rhythmic, and their ragged breaths. “I want to see your pretty face while you take me.”

Emboldened by the slick heat coating her hand, and by how easily Seulgi welcomed her finger inside, Jaeyi pressed in a second finger.

“You take me so well, princess–” she breathed, eyes drinking in the thin layer of sweat glistening on Seulgi’s forehead and chest.

Seulgi’s hips moved faster, more erratic now, chasing something more. Jaeyi matched her rhythm, curling her fingers just right, her wrist moving in sync with Seulgi’s desperate motions.

“Ja–Jae—” Seulgi gasped, her voice breaking, the only sounds she could manage.

Jaeyi was keenly aware of how her own shirt clung to her skin, damp with heat. Then, an intrusive thought slid into her mind, unfiltered, impossible to ignore. Acting on impulse, she leaned into Seulgi’s ear, voice dropping to a husky whisper.

“Don’t come yet, Seulgi–” she murmured, teeth grazing the lobe before she continued. “Can you do that for me, baby?”

“N-no, please, Jaeyi,” Seulgi’s face dropped against her shoulder, her entire body trembling. “I-I don’t think I can—Please…”

That wasn’t the response Jaeyi had been expecting, but it sent a surge of pride through her anyway, a smirk curling at the edges of her lips.

“I know you can, baby… I’ll help you–”

And just as smoothly as she had entered, Jaeyi slipped her fingers out.

Seulgi shuddered at the sudden loss, her body momentarily crumbling against Jaeyi. But before she could protest, Jaeyi’s hands found her face, guiding her in for a kiss. It was all tongue, heat, and teasing nips against swollen lips.

Only when Jaeyi had her fill did she finally pull back. Without breaking eye contact, she reached for the hem of her own shirt and peeled it off.

Seulgi’s eyes followed the motion, lingering, almost like devouring. Her gaze fixed on Jaeyi’s bare chest, lips parting slightly, tongue darting out in anticipation.

Jaeyi smirked. She could tell exactly what Seulgi wanted.

So she lay back against the mattress, hands sliding up Seulgi’s thighs, stroking gently. 

“Come on,” she invited.

Seulgi obeyed instantly, slumping forward, resting on her elbows on either side of Jaeyi’s body. Without an ounce of hesitation, she dragged her tongue from the bottom of Jaeyi’s abdomen, trailing all the way up to her left nipple before quickly enveloping it in her mouth.

The moment Seulgi let out a restrained moan, the vibrations spread through Jaeyi’s sternum, tearing a loud moan from her lips. Her hands instinctively found their way into Seulgi’s hair, fingers gripping, tugging, pulling her in, then guiding her away, urging her toward the other nipple.

The room was filled with nothing but their moans now. Jaeyi could feel the way Seulgi’s hips started moving again, rocking against her, seeking the friction she’d lost. With every movement, the pressure hit just right on her, sending a fresh wave of pleasure through Jaeyi’s body. 

She almost let herself drown in it, almost. But then, through the haze, she remembered. The reason she had pulled her fingers out of Seulgi in the first place.

“Seu–Seulgi-ya,” her name left Jaeyi’s lips in a breathless sigh.

The second Seulgi looked up at her, Jaeyi nearly forgot what she’d been about to say. Her resolve nearly shattered at the sight—eyes wide, dark, yet somehow impossibly soft, swollen lips parted, face completely wrecked with desire.

“Hm?” Seulgi hummed, her voice low, sending another shiver up Jaeyi’s spine.

Fuck.

Jaeyi bit her lip, forcing herself to focus, to push through the daze clouding her mind. Her grip on Seulgi’s hair tightened slightly before she finally exhaled, voice low and deliberate “Sit on my face.”

“Wh-what?” Seulgi propped up slightly, blinking down at her, eyes widening just a fraction.

Jaeyi didn’t waver. She pushed herself up onto her elbows, meeting Seulgi’s gaze head-on. “I need to taste you.”

She leaned forward, pressing a chaste kiss to Seulgi’s lips, feeling the girl chase after her when she pulled back.

Jaeyi smirked, whispering against her lips. “Right now, Seulgi.”

Seulgi blinked.

She wasn’t entirely sure she had heard right, but the way Jaeyi’s voice echoed in the back of her mind confirmed that she, indeed, had.

As if her body had a mind of its own, she nodded, though her brain still hadn’t fully processed it.

Truth be told, everything felt like a blur, ever since the moment Jaeyi had pulled her on top of her. 

She looked down, meeting Jaeyi’s gaze, still dark with hunger, her teeth sinking into her bottom lip as she stared up at her almost greedily.

At the sight, Seulgi swallowed a moan threatening to escape. Then, she saw Jaeyi’s right hand move. Now mostly holding herself up on her left arm, she let her fingers drop to Seulgi’s underwear, tracing the hem before pulling it down slightly, not fully. Like she was asking either for permission or for Seulgi to remove the item herself.

Lifting her hips from where they had settled minutes ago, Seulgi shuddered as the cool air hit her heat. When she reached down to slide her underwear off, her fingers briefly brushed against Jaeyi’s, sending a jolt straight to her core. She shifted forward, one hand braced beside Jaeyi’s elbow, their faces mere inches apart. As she slowly peeled the fabric down with her other hand, she felt Jaeyi’s breath ghost over her skin. Then, the faintest drag of a tongue along the underside of her jaw.

A soft moan tumbled from her lips, barely audible, and her movements faltered. The underwear now clung loosely to one knee, forgotten.

In a bold move, she pressed her hand against Jaeyi’s shoulder, pushing her back onto the mattress with a soft thump. The other girl’s expression flickered with brief surprise before amusement settled in.

Without another thought, Seulgi shifted up, knees bracketing Jaeyi’s head, until she could feel the warm breaths from Jaeyi’s nose against her core. Then, Jaeyi’s hands slid up her thighs, gripping them firmly.

And just like that, those hands pressed her down, hard.

The next thing she felt was Jaeyi’s tongue. Immediately inside of her.

She hunched forward, hands grasping the headboard in front of her as Jaeyi’s tongue curled, twisting deep, before slipping out and dragging all the way up. Then, a moan vibrated against her, straight out of Jaeyi’s mouth, sending warmth flooding through her veins.

Desperate for more, she began to move, swaying her hips back and forth.

Jaeyi’s hands tightened on her thighs, holding her down, even though she was already fully seated against her mouth.

Looking down, she saw Jaeyi’s eyes shut in pure bliss, savoring the taste. Then, they opened, locking onto hers. The way Jaeyi looked at her, dark, hungry, sent a shiver straight through her.

All the pent-up tension she’d been carrying since the moment she was last filled came rushing back.

She knew she wouldn’t last much longer. 

And she definitely didn’t want to reach her orgasm alone.

So she straightened her back, glancing slightly behind her.

Her hips kept moving against the mouth working on her, but carefully, she shifted her weight. Slowly, she moved her hands from the headboard, bringing them back to the mattress, palms pressing down to support herself.

Tilting her head back, eyes fluttering to the ceiling, she felt the hand gripping her thigh, glide upward, nails tracing a path over her abdomen, kneading there. 

Bracing herself more firmly on her left hand, she let her right move, slipping down to the hem of Jaeyi’s shorts. Quick. Her fingers slid beneath the fabric, even under the underwear.

The tremble of the body beneath her didn’t go unnoticed, nor did the sudden, stuttered breath she felt right against her clit.

The moment her fingers found the wetness between Jaeyi’s legs, Seulgi let out a whine, hips jolting up before pressing back down, needing more.

“Jey–” A moan. “Fuck, you’re drench—”

Seulgi didn’t finish the sentence, but in her mind, one thought echoed: Just for you, Seulgi.

She let her fingers glide up and down the slick heat, teasing, feeling Jaeyi tremble beneath her. Then, she stilled them, pressing against Jaeyi’s clit, rubbing gently.

That was until Jaeyi’s lips wrapped around her clit, sucking deep.

Pleasure surged through her, and instinctively, Seulgi’s fingers pressed harder against Jaeyi’s clit in return.

She had already prolonged her orgasm for as long as she could, holding on, riding the edge. So, the instant Jaeyi sucked hard on her clit, the pressure so intense it made her entire body jolt. Seulgi bit her lip so hard she could taste the tint flavor of blood. 

A deep, throaty moan spilled from Jaeyi’s lips, the vibrations sending a shockwave straight through Seulgi. And at that very moment, her own fingers pressed down harder against Jaeyi’s clit, mirroring the intensity.

That was all it took. The combination of Jaeyi’s mouth pulling her in deep and the desperate moan vibrating against her were what sent Seulgi crashing over the edge.

And just as she was unraveling, lost in the waves of pleasure washing over her, she felt Jaeyi’s body tensing beneath her, thighs trembling around her hand, a sharp inhale breaking through the muffled sounds against her.

Seulgi wasn’t the only one coming undone.

The realization only intensified the rush surging through her, her fingers twitching slightly against Jaeyi as aftershocks pulsed between them, their bodies trembling in sync.

She rode it out, her hips moving instinctively, chasing every last pulse of euphoria as Jaeyi’s mouth stayed locked onto her, drawing it out until it was almost too much.

A shuddered gasp left her lips as the sensitivity became unbearable, her thighs twitching, her grip on Jaeyi’s heat faltering. Finally, she let herself go, slumping forward slightly, trying to catch her breath.

With what little strength she had left, she shifted, slipping off Jaeyi’s face with shaky limbs before collapsing onto the mattress beside her. The warmth of Jaeyi’s skin brushed against hers, both of them still buzzing, breaths heavy in the silence.

Seulgi barely has the strength to move, sprawled out beside Jaeyi, her body still pulsing with aftershocks. She tries to catch her breath, her mind still hazy, when she hears it.

A chuckle. Low, smug.

“So… was it better than your dream?”

Seulgi groans immediately. “Shut up.”

Jaeyi laughs, shifting onto her side, propping herself up on an elbow. Her face is glowing with mischief, lips still swollen, eyes dark with satisfaction. She reaches out, brushing her knuckles against Seulgi’s cheek, watching as she glares back at her through heavy lids.

“No, but really–” Jaeyi tilts her head, wetting her lips. “Was it exactly like your dream? Or…” she trails a finger down Seulgi’s bare stomach, nails ghosting over her skin, “did I exceed expectations?”

Seulgi doesn’t respond. Instead, she blindly reaches out and smacks Jaeyi’s arm.

“Ow!” Jaeyi laughs, not looking remotely offended.

Seulgi groans again, rolling onto her stomach and burying her face in the pillow. “I hate you.”

She hears the smirk in Jaeyi’s voice before she even feels her move. Then, a brush of lips against the shell of her ear, followed by a sarcastic snort. “Yeah, right.”

Seulgi refuses to give her the satisfaction of a response.

She feels the mattress dip beside her, followed by the lazy stretch of Jaeyi’s limbs and a satisfied hum as she flops down. 

Silence lingers for a few beats, settling comfortably between them. Until “You okay?” Jaeyi’s voice is quiet, careful, different from before.

Seulgi swallows. Nods. “…Yeah.”

To be honest, she’s never felt like this before, like she’s floating. The only times she’s come close were when she took pills, but even then, the feeling was completely different.

Jaeyi doesn’t press for more. Seulgi keeps her face buried in the pillow for a moment before slowly turning her head. Finding Jaeyi’s eyes already on her.

She barely registers the shift in the bed until warmth presses against her back.

Jaeyi moved closer, settling on her side, half of her face buried in her pillow. Her fingers graze over Seulgi’s skin, trailing soft, aimless patterns down the curve of her spine. Small circles, a quiet rhythm.

Seulgi shivered, not from cold, but from the gentleness of it.

Instead, she let her cheek sink further into the soft cushion, a quiet hum slipping past her lips.

They lay like that for a moment, just breathing each other in. It’s different from before, softer, as if the tension that had built between them for so long has finally unraveled into something neither of them expected. 

Jaeyi inches closer and Seulgi feels how she presses a kiss to her temple, lingering there. And for once, nothing cocky comes out of the other girl’s mouth. She just holds her, thumb stroking her back.

“I—I like your face,” she murmured, recalling how Jaeyi had said something similar to her in her dream.

Against her forehead, she felt Jaeyi smile before replying, “Is that your way of saying you like me?” She chuckled, pulling back a bit, just enough that Seulgi could feel her breath ghosting over her bangs.

“Yes.” No vacillation in her voice.

Jaeyi just stared back at her, lips slightly parted before a slow smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. “I like you too, Seulgi-ya.” A small pause. “A lot.”

Seulgi mirrored her smile and crept closer until their noses brushed. She held Jaeyi’s gaze for a second before tilting her head and closing the space between them, pressing a soft kiss to her lips.

Just lips, nothing more, but they both remained there, savoring the moment.

When they finally pulled back, it was only by an inch, their foreheads resting together.

Jaeyi’s fingers continued their slow, absentminded patterns along Seulgi’s back. Neither of them spoke, their breaths syncing, their foreheads still lightly pressed together. It was comfortable—warm, even.

Then, Seulgi felt Jaeyi shift.

“You know…” Jaeyi murmured, her tone dipping lower, something teasing curling at the edges.

Seulgi hummed in response, eyes fluttering open just enough to meet Jaeyi’s.

“I don’t mean to ruin the tender moment, but–” Jaeyi stopped.

The fingers pressed just a little more firmly against her skin. Then, a small kiss was pressed on her cheek.

Seulgi felt her lips curve into a smile as another kiss landed. This time, just below her jaw. She swallowed, pulling back slightly to look at her properly. “…But what?” voice barely above a whisper.

Jaeyi didn’t answer right away. Instead, she trailed another kiss down the side of Seulgi’s neck, lingering slightly longer this time as her fingertips began a slow descent down her back. Seulgi’s breath hitched.

Then, Jaeyi’s lips ghosted over her shoulder as she finally spoke, her words melting into her skin.

“I really, really want to make you come…” Her voice was quiet, but there was no mistaking the weight behind it. “With my fingers.” Another kiss.

Seulgi’s breath caught.

​​The warmth in Jaeyi’s eyes, the way her fingers traced lower, the deliberate slowness of it all, it sent a fresh wave of heat through her body.

Jaeyi leaned in, her lips brushing against Seulgi’s temple, her voice soft but laced with desire.

“If you’ll let me…” Another kiss. “Princess.”

Seulgi exhales. A small smile tugs at her lips as she turns onto her side, facing Jaeyi.

Shifting onto her side, her body now facing Jaeyi as well, she murmured, “Come on, then.” She tossed Jaeyi’s own words back at her, a playful glint in her eyes, though the anticipation was real.

Jaeyi’s smile widened, slow and wicked. Fingers tightening around Seulgi’s waist, she tugged her in, their bodies molding together effortlessly. But instead of kissing her right away, Jaeyi lingered, eyes flickering down to her lips, then back up, drawing it out.

“You sure?” she murmured, her breath ghosting over Seulgi’s mouth.

Seulgi swallowed, her fingers curling in a fist between their bodies. “I just said so, didn’t I?”

Jaeyi chuckled. “Mhm. Just making sure.”

Then, Jaeyi kissed her, affectionate, almost teasing. Just enough to make Seulgi chase after it. 

Both of them happily wrapped in their bubble, with no intention of breaking it anytime soon.
