Fic: Homesick
Jung Daehyun is the confident one.
With her honey voice and curvy figure, she’s the envy of most of the girls in their school. She’s not the most girly of girls, not with her appetite that can rival small armies and her inherent dislike of ruffly dresses, but maybe that’s what makes this so cute.
Daehyun gets homesick often.
In some ways, Busan and Seoul are very much the same. Both huge cities, the traffic is endless and there are banks and coffee shops on nearly every street corner. But Daehyun misses the saltiness of the air that lingers between the buildings, and the familiarity of the conventions that sound so foreign and yet so similar here.
When the floorboards creak at three am, Jongup knows it’s one of those nights.
Daehyun’s face is puffy and her pink tails are askew as she stands beside Jongup’s bed, one hand clutching her stuffed rabbit and the other rubbing her tired eyes. “Jongup-ah,” She murmurs, shifting from foot to foot. Her sleeping shirt is rumpled and falling off her shoulder, a clear sign she’s been up all night.
Jongup doesn’t say anything, rolling onto her side and holding up the blanket. Daehyun quickly slides in beside the younger girl, squishing her rabbit to her chest as she buries her face in Jongup’s neck. The younger can feel the shakiness of Daehyun’s breath against her throat and hums, shifting closer until their foreheads touch. “It’s okay, Hyunnie,” She murmurs, wrapping her arms around the older girl’s shoulders. Then she decides to hell with it, and leans just a bit closer to brush her lips against Daehyun’s.
Though tense at first, Daehyun soon melts under the soft pressure, and when Jongup pulls back, she sighs quietly between them. She doesn’t say anything at first, and Jongup wonders maybe if she crossed a line, but then Daehyun’s leaning in again to press her lips to Jongup’s for just a moment.
“Thank you,” She murmurs, curling in closer. Jongup feels her heart swell, and tightens her hold on Daehyun. “Anything for you, unnie,” She murmurs.
Daehyun is the confident one.
But sometimes even she needs to be held.
And Jongup is more than happy to keep her warm.
Love is patient..Love is kind..
