I awoke to the sun beating down on my face in the early afternoon. I rolled over and reached for Jin but kept on reaching for he wasn't there. I felt the edge of the opposite side of the bed. No words passed from my lips, I just turned back to face the small table that lay beside me. My eyes slowly flickered open as I saw there, on the bed-side table, lay a beautiful rose; its red crimson color staring back at me gingerly.
I smiled as I pulled it from the gently carven wood of the table and placed it in my blonde hair. Cautiously, I climbed from the soft warm comfort of the bed and crept up behind Jin as he stood in front of the table, which sat in the center of the room, staring unconsciously out the window down at the streets below. He was clad in a white collared dress shirt and a pair of black pants.
Still staring out the window, he buttoned the cuffs of his sleeves as I reached out and wrapped my arms about his strong muscular frame. My arms hugging him to me, my hands about his chest. I stood on the tips of my toes to kiss his cheek. Slowly he turned and hugged me close to his side, kissing my forehead. Not a word, did he utter. We stood in silence for a matter of minutes, holding each other tightly. Five minutes had seemed to have slipped past when Jin broke the silence.
"I've got a surprise for you but you have to wait until tonight."
"What's tonight?" I asked.
"You'll see," he smiled and kissed my cheek. He let his arms fall to his sides and walked towards the bathroom.
I sighed and gathered my things, readying myself for a hot shower. Soon Jin walked out carrying out his night clothes with him, a pair of boxers perhaps is better fitting for the statement but nonetheless it was what he had slept in. He smiled at me as I walked past and brushing his shirt a little, stepped into the bathroom.
Once I'd lain my clothes on the floor, I began to examine my reflection. Suddenly I sang out loud, barely audible even to me the words to a song. "I know the difference between myself and my reflection; I just can't help but to wonder which of us do you love?" the rest slowly faded from my lips as I began to strip myself of my clothing.
I turned the water on and adjusted it to my now scalding body. Reaching for the shampoo, I lathered it in my hair, rinsing it out and repeating the process. Then spreading soap about my body, loving the way that it does not dry out my skin. Once I was finished, I climbed out of the shower and brushed through my hair.
I wrapped my clothes around my body and walked out of the bathroom. Jin sat at the table, again staring blankly out the window, once again, his back turn to me.
"What are you thinking?" I asked. He jumped, startled, as if he didn't hear me walk out of the bathroom.
"Oh…you…scared me."
"I noticed," I chuckled in reply.
"I was just…thinking…"
"About what?" I asked.
"About tonight." I smiled at him. I couldn't wait to see what he had planned.
