•✧ JENNIE'S POV ✧•

Her hand went inside his soft and silky hair as she played with it while slowly massaging his scalp. It brought peace to his mind and body, he was already in his dreamland as he was laying his head in the crook of her neck. He was all snuggled up with her like a baby, it made her smile as she found him cute for finding peace in her embrace. But unfortunately she had to return to her own dorm so she couldn't fall asleep like him, but staying for a few more minutes couldn't bring any harm to her either. She didn't want to disturb his deep slumber, he must be tired.

"Isn't it surprising?" - She whispered, talking to the sleeping man who was looking ethereal even in his sleep.

"I feel your warmth making it's way to my heart and it's surely fascinating. You've made your place in my heart, and even I don't know how you did that." - She softly chuckled, closing her eyes as she sniffed his hair that smelled like fresh lilacs.

He suddenly moved closer to her, trying to hug her more tightly as it surprised her thinking he woke up. But she sighed of relief when he stopped his movement and deeply exhaled, he was still sleeping.

"I love you, and you don't have to say it back to me. I know you feel the same anyway." - A secret smile creeps up on his lips, Jennie was unaware of his consciousness as he was listening to her sweet confessions.

But it stung his heart, how he couldn't bring himself to say three simple words. Maybe they weren't as simple when it meant making the biggest decision of his life. But why was he stopping himself because of a stupid ring and his parent's unwanted decision? It wasn't like he agreed to it in the first place. Yes, he loved Jennie. Just like how she loved him. Their feelings were mutual and these three words meant a lot to both of them. She could say it, because she wasn't afraid of anyone or anything. But he couldn't say it because of one obstacle which were his parents. He was surely going to get things sorted out as soon as possible.

"I need to go back now. Sleep well." - She kissed the top of his head and slowly tried to remove his arm from her waist but he tightened his grip around her making her aware that he was awake.

"Don't go." - He almost pleaded in his sleepy voice bringing a smile to her face.

"Why? I doubt that you'll miss me after all the hours I spent with you today." - He chuckled and heaved a sigh before parting away as he looked into her eyes.

"Every second that I spend with you is less. I want to stay with you 24 hours a day." - An interesting shade of red made its way to her cheeks as she cleared her throat, flustered by his words.

“When did you become this cheezy?” - She raised her eyebrows at him bringing a smirk on his face.

"Since the time you claimed me yours. " - Words got stuck in her throat as her eyes widened with shock. Her cheeks burning even redder.

"You- I hate you! " - She slapped his chest and freed herself from his grip as she got up from the bed and quickly ran outside making him burst into laughter.

"I know you love me!" - His voice reached inside her ears while she was wearing the shoes he gave her. A smile threatened to break out on her lips but she bit her lip trying to hold it back because she probably looked insane blushing to herself. But who was there to look at her anyway?

"Go back to sleep you dimwit!" - She shouted before stepping out of his place as she closed the door, making her way back to her dorm.

Jennie stepped inside the dorm with her eyes fixed on her shoes, because she knew what was about to happen.

"You lost Juda! I told you she will return." - Somi shouted making Jennie look up in confusion as her eyes met Juda's. A smirk was plastered on her lips.

"Little one is back." - Jennie closed her eyes in frustration as she wore the hoodie's cap and took her shoes off, trying to hide her red face.

Suddenly a strong scent entered her nose bringing some memories back inside her mind. She grabbed the hoodie and brought it closer to her nose as she sniffed it and heavily exhaled. His soft yet manly scent was driving her crazy.

"Jennie-ssi, we're still single you know? We don't have our boyfriend's hoodies to wear so don't do that here." - Somi taunted making Jennie laugh but then she sighed.

"Boyfriend my foot. He can't even say I love you." - She joked and walked towards her bed as she climbed up, only to be pulled back by Juda as she almost fell.

"Wha-" - Jennie was cut off when she spoke.

"I want to talk."
