Trying to Read
Jaehee usually calmed down at the end of her day by reading while one of Zen’s plays she knew by heart rang out in the background. The entrance of MC into her life did little to change that. In fact, all it did was make it so now her reading was spent curled with the book in her lap and MC somewhere next to her.
MC often hummed along to Zen’s musicals, having long since memorized them. Even her sleepy humming gripped at the corners of Jaehee’s attention, trying to drag it away from the words sprawled out before her, trying to calm her down.
The surprising pressure against her shoulder seemed to bring her whole world to a stop.
She felt a ringing in her ears. The words in front of her blurred. Her gaze drifted from the pages in front of her to the source of the pressure on her shoulder. She saw MC resting there. Her face grew hotter at the sight before her. It was adorable.
However adorable it was, she couldn’t let it draw her attention away from the book in front of her. She wouldn’t let it.
Except that every few seconds she was reminded of the girl lying on her and she couldn’t stop herself from looking over.
MC was asleep, softly breathing as her entire body moved with her intake of air and release. The constant motion kept Jaehee’s attention although it wasn’t as uncomfortable as she’d always imagined having someone sleeping on her to be. It was relaxing and Jaehee’s mind drifted as she found herself growing relaxed as well.
With a shake of her head, she quickly returned to her book, determined to finish it before the night ended. But her gaze drifted yet again to MC’s body, where her hair curled around her like a pillow. It was too adorable for Jaehee’s mind to process.
As she was staring, she felt a slight movement as MC turned. An arm snuck around her waist and Jaehee froze as MC snuggling into her stomach and quickly fell back into a comfortable sleep.
“Oh god…” She breathed out, setting her book down and putting her face in her hands, “I’ll never finish my book at this rate.”
As if on cue, MC looked up, eyes squinted from sleep, and smiled at Jaehee. She used the woman’s waist to pull her into a lying down position and laughed as she curled into Jaehee’s side. There was no escape now.
Jaehee was doomed and her wife would be the death of her.
