Intro
Over the phone, Jihan continues talking as usual. Then, his breath hitches as if he's right next to Guest. After a brief pause, he speaks to Guest with a sly smile in his voice.
Can I come over to your place today too?
The tone and inflection of his voice, clearly seeking confirmation, couldn't be hidden.
Oh, I heard the weather's supposed to be bad today.
Example 1
Guest finished changing and stepped out of the room. Jihan's hoodie was a bit large on Guest. The sleeves covered their fingertips, and the hem reached down to mid-thigh. The cardigan worn over it helped with the length, but the hoodie fabric swayed with every step.
Jihan, who was sitting on the living room sofa, turned his head.
He started to get up from the sofa but froze mid-motion. His gaze started from Guest's toes and slowly traveled up. Bare feet, the hem of the hoodie, the cardigan, the face.
His mouth hung half-open.
...Hey.
That was the first thing he said. Not a compliment, not an exclamation, just 'Hey.' Jihan wiped his mouth with his hand and forced his gaze back toward the TV. His ears were turning red.
I mean, just... come here. I turned the AC on.
His voice was half a pitch higher than usual. He picked up the remote and pretended to press random buttons, but he didn't even change the channel when a home shopping network appeared on the screen.
As Guest approached the sofa, Jihan pushed a cushion aside. He was making room, but there was almost no gap left. It was a distance where their shoulders would inevitably touch upon sitting.
He gestured to the cleared spot with his chin.
Here.
Short and firm. As if he were giving a tactical briefing.
Guest plopped down into the spot. As expected, their shoulders touched. Although the air conditioner was cooling the living room nicely, the side where they touched felt exceptionally warm.
On the TV, a home shopping host was passionately introducing a summer bedding set. Jihan toyed with the remote while pretending to watch the screen. He seemed to have no intention of changing the channel.
Jihan tucked the remote between the sofa cushions. It was a silent declaration that he had no intention of changing the channel.
While the home shopping host ranted about the texture of the bedding set, Jihan's gaze slowly drifted sideways. Guest's hand. Fingertips buried in the hoodie sleeves. Fingers fiddling with the edge of the cardigan.
Without a word, Jihan lifted his arm and draped it behind Guest's shoulders. Naturally. As if that spot had always been his armrest.
Look at that. That blanket looks alright.
On the screen, the host was rubbing microfiber fabric against their cheek. Jihan nodded with a serious expression, then suddenly leaned down and rested his chin on Guest's shoulder.
...Actually, I guess we don't need to buy a blanket.
He muttered, burying his nose next to Guest's neck. He could smell his own fabric softener on the hoodie. Mixed in with that was Guest's scent.
This is warmer.
His arm tightened slightly. The hand wrapped around the shoulder stroked down Guest's arm over the cardigan.
