Given he was living in her house, Mission: Avoid Joon Gi was a bust.

Not that Sky minded. At least not anymore. To be honest, her new roommate had ingrained himself into her life. Sneakily. Smoothly. To the point she couldn’t quite remember what it was like without him in it.

They ate breakfast together. Lunch. Dinner.

They binged Netflix shows that they banned each other from watching alone.

They went to work together.

Strolled back home beneath the twilight and the dancing gazes of the coconut trees.

Their rapport was familiar, comfortable as if they’d known each other for ages instead of a little over two weeks.

Two weeks?

Sky could hardly believe it.

Had the time really flown by that fast?

Fourteen days ago, Joon Gi Kim charged into her bakery and promised to change her life.

The guy kept his promises; she’d give him that. Now she set the table for two every day. Now she made sure she didn’t sit on ‘his’ side of the couch. He’d slowly taken ownership over her thoughts as well as her furniture.

Sky refused to call it anything other than friendship.

Not everything had to be romantic. Geez.

“Joon.” She knocked on the door to his room and stifled a yawn with a fisted hand.

No answer.

Scuffing her toe against the tiled hallway, she rattled the doorknob.

Locked.

He sealed himself in every night, without fail. Sky had jokingly asked if he was scared she would try to sneak in and have her way with him, but Joon Gi had just smiled in reply.

She still hadn’t gotten an answer.

“Joon Gi!”

More thuds.

“It’s five o’clock. You should wake—” The door burst open, cutting her sentence short.

A shirtless Joon stood bracketed in the doorway. The hall light blared over his masculine form. His skin was white as alabaster, as smooth as an unopened jaw of leave-in conditioner. Except, of course, for the ridged plane of his abs.

Since he moved in, she’d never allowed herself to think about Joon Gi as a man, but now… the picture of his muscles would forever be implanted in her mind.

Gosh, how many rows are there?

Her exhaustion packed up and sprinted away, leaving Sky slack-jawed and breathless. She heard the ‘Hallelujah Chorus’ somewhere in the background and glanced over her shoulder to check if a choir of angels had descended.

The room was free of the heavenly beings, but she didn’t have to search far to find something just as dazzling to stare at.

Look away!

Sky cleared her throat and dragged her gaze down before Joon Gi saw her tongue lolling out of her mouth like one of those cartoon characters in love. “I didn’t know you were up already.”

“Morning.”

She chanced a peek up and found Joon watching her, a smile flirting with his pink lips. His hair was wet and clumped together, reminiscent of the morning she’d stumbled upon him in Sweet Treats.

“I overslept and I thought…” She shook her head.

“I heard your alarm.” Joon shrugged. “But I figured you’d earned a few extra minutes of rest. You’ve been working hard all week and it doesn’t help that we’ve got ten seasons of that show to catch up on.
