Jeon Jong-seo

[Scene: Bedroom in the late afternoon — Jeon Jong-seo at the height of need]

The golden light of the late afternoon entered through the gaps in the curtain, spreading warm reflections throughout the room. The sound of the fan slowly turning filled the space, along with the scent of the soap Naomi used. She was trying to organize some things on the desk, concentrating, until she heard the now familiar grumbling coming from the bed.

— "Naomiiii..."

She smiled to herself. He didn't even need to turn around to know what was coming next.

— "Are you going to ignore me? Even when I'm clearly suffering from acute neediness?"

Naomi turned slowly, seeing Jeon lying face down in the middle of the bed, his face smushed into the pillow and his legs swinging in the air like a sulking child.

— "Five minutes without a kiss and you're already suffering?"

— "Five minutes is an eternity when you love someone the way I love you."

Naomi crossed her arms, feigning seriousness.

— "You said that yesterday. And the day before. And after eating pancakes this morning."

— "And every time it was true!" — Jeon retorted, opening his arms. — "Now come here or I'll dissolve into longing. It'll be your fault if I turn into a puddle."

Laughing, Naomi walked over to the bed. At the same moment, Jong-seo jumped up, throwing himself into her arms, as if the world was saved with just that hug.

— "You are my cure. My human pillow. My emotional vitamin."

— "You are very dramatic."

— "And you love it."

Jeon kissed Naomi's face several times, without giving her space, squeezing her cheeks as if they were made of cloud.

— "Promise me you'll stay glued to me today? Like... all day. I want to sleep glued to you, wake up glued to you and spend the day glued to you. If you go to the bathroom, I'll go with you."

Naomi laughed, pulling her onto the bed.

— "You are impossible."

— "I'm yours. Completely. And a little over the top. But only because I love you more than I can bear."
