Tumblr media
You knew losing your virginity to your boyfriend was the best decision you ever made. Jaehyun was everything you could’ve asked for — sweet, gentle, attentive, and caring. He made you dinner. He ran you a bath. He cuddled you until you fell asleep and his entire arm went numb. He made sure your first time with him that weekend was nothing short of perfection like it was his life’s mission.
He loves you. You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to him and he does what he can to show you what you mean to him; to make sure you know you’re his. 
So, it isn’t much of a surprise in that same weekend, Jaehyun fucked you absolutely senseless. Not just having you see stars. No, that wasn’t enough for him.
He fucked you until you were limp; wrecked and ruined. He fucked you until you were clinging onto consciousness, teetering between cloud nine and reality as his hips rutted into you mercilessly as if he wanted your body to remember every vein and crevice of his cock; as if he was molding your soft, gummy walls into the shape of him. 
He wanted you to never forget who could make you feel this amazing and he sure as hell wanted you to feel it the next day.
Every whimper. Every whine. Every mark on your body. He sees it as a medal — proof of his performance and he’s proud of what he can do to you. 
His ego, his possessiveness, his confidence, his pride ripples through you with every pathetic little moan you desperately let out, very sob you attempted to muffle, every muscle in your body that trembles.
You’re three orgasms into the night — your back pressed into the mattress, feet towards the headboard, and under your boyfriend’s tall frame while he’s still rock hard and parked deep between your legs, even after experiencing an intense orgasm of his own nearly 30 minutes prior. 
Still reeling from your second release, you close your eyes, attempting to stop the entire room from spinning only to feel your boyfriend’s hand softly slap your cheek, bringing you back to reality. His eyes are sharp and a smirk pulls from a corner of his mouth before a cocky chuckle is heard. 
“Look at you,” he clicks his tongue, fake concern dripping from his tone. “Look at what I do to you.” He lifts his eyes to the mirror, strategically placed near the foot of your bed. 
He lifts your chin gently, urging you to tilt your head back to look at yourself — eyes glazed over, drool and saliva coating your chin, hickies spread all over your neck and chest, and your once pretty lip gloss he had you wear is absolutely ruined and messily smeared over your skin. 
You whimper at the sight of yourself — unraveled to the point you’re trembling under him, only to realize he isn’t done. 
Part of you is absolutely exhausted, but the other part — the needy part — desires more. Hungry to see how long he can keep you like this until he finally becomes undone. How much more you can take until you can’t anymore. 
“More…” you tiredly let out. “Need more.”
“More?” He mocks, dragging the pad of his thumb against your bottom lip as you tilt your head back in its previous position. “I need to hear you beg for it, baby.”
God, does he make you beg. 
His thumb dips between your lips, soon coming in contact with your tongue and coating it with your saliva before he teasingly rolls his digit over your aching clit, building you up to the brink of another orgasm only to rip it away from you over and over and over again. 
“Jae—” you manage to choke out, pathetically to say the least.
Your thighs are quivering, the muscles in your abdomen screams out in pain with the way you’re clenching, your heart thumps so hard you’re convinced it’ll jump out of your chest, and you're certain your poor overstimulated and sensitive clit has been pushed to its limit. And yet, you’re still desperate for more. 
“Need you,” you hiccup. “Please.” Your voice hung, trembling, somewhere between a beg and a cry. 
Jaehyun smiles. “That’s it,” he softly purrs, nuzzling the tip of his nose against the crook of your neck before slowly trailing up to your jaw. The palm of his hand drags against your thigh, attempting to soothe its quivering state.
“No one else can handle me like you can.” He presses a tender kiss against your jawline. “You’re perfect for me, isn’t that right, my pretty little thing.” 
You nod, letting out an obedient hum. 
“I love you,” he breathes, his lips grazing the shell of your ear. “Even when I fuck you like I don’t.” He whispers. 
Jaehyun grips onto your hips, tilting it up before he roughly thrusts into you without warning — finally giving into your need. 
“This is what you wanted, right baby?” He grunts, his cock rapidly moving in and out of you. “You love this, hm? Being filled up, praised, used, adored.”
You mindlessly nod, his words slowly becoming a jumbled up mess in your head as you feel his cock dive deeper into you, tip bullying your cervix effortlessly. Electricity jolts through you, leaving your skin tingling. 
His grunts and moans mix with your loud sobs as you inch closer to, yet, another orgasm embarrassingly quick. His hand presses against the lower part of your stomach and you hear nothing but a laugh of disbelief. 
“I can fucking — feel — fuck!” He doesn’t bother to finish his sentence, too mesmerized by the bulge he feels when he’s penetrating inside you before pulling his hand away, eyes widening in hypnotizing fascination. “Look,” he smiles devilishly. “Look how deep I am inside of you.” 
Your weight shifts to your elbows, weakly propping yourself up to see what he’s in awe about. When you see it, you can’t look away. You watch him slow his movements, deliberately dragging every inch of his shaft like he’s memorizing the look of it — of you swallowing him completely before his hips return to its rough pace.
It’s not too long until your back arches out of instinct as your climax rips through your entire body. Your toes curl and every muscle tenses up as your thighs clamp against his hip, your body involuntarily moving to chase every last bit of your orgasm. Your jaw falls open, unable to speak and you’re convinced your muscles are melted into your mattress. You want to cry — not from pain, not from ache, but from the idea that he’ll eventually pull out, leaving you fluttering and empty. 
You want more. You want this forever.
You’ve already lost count of how many orgasms Jaehyun has pulled from you in the past hour, let alone since the weekend with him started. 
Stars flood your vision and your breaths come out in shallow bursts before feeling his hands press against the sides of your neck as your head lolls back, your body completely spent. 
“Look at me baby,” he purrs, amused, holding your head up for you. “Another orgasm that has you shaking and yet your pretty cunt keeps pulling me in.” 
He kisses your cheek as your eyes flutter open and you glance at the bare base of his shaft striking your folds, wet and glistening, as his hips continue to move back and forth into you. 
“Does it feel good when I use you like that?” He questions, mockingly, slightly tilting your head up for you to meet his eyes. “Tell me.” 
Your mouth opens obediently to respond, but you can’t. You try to refocus, blinking slowly like you’re half dreaming. You’re trying, you really are, but nothing comes out except for your shattered breathing — chest heaving erratically as if you’ve already forgotten how to breathe. 
Jaehyun swipes the wetness from under your eyes. “My poor baby’s brain’s gone, isn’t it?” He lets out a low laugh.
You mindlessly nod, whimpering as you feel his soft lips press against your forehead, giving you a gentle kiss, but you know all too well that it’s a kiss that warns you that he isn’t done yet. 
All you could register in your mind is the feeling of your boyfriend — his cock stuffed deep into you, his hips grinding into you, his hands holding your head up as you desperately try to keep your eyes open, and his soft lips against your forehead. 
Your heart races, your head is spinning, and your pussy is aching. You’ve never been this overstimulated in your life, but you can’t help but want more. You weakly grip onto Jaehyun’s wrist, keeping yourself grounded as much as you can while he snaps his hips back and forth recklessly, almost feeling as if he’s going deeper than he already is. Nothing but the slapping of skin and his desperate groans bounce against his four bedroom walls.
You whine his name, signaling him another orgasm is inching closer and closer. 
He presses his forehead against yours and you widen your spread, eyes half lidded to see your boyfriend’s tip bulging inside of you as he breaks you open with every deliberate and delicious buck of his hips.
Your body arches from instinct and you’re loudly crying out in pleasure — convinced that his poor neighbors must have already filed a noise complaint against him. Tears begin to well from your eyes; not from sadness, but from intensity. Your walls flutter around him and you’re shaking — strung out and delirious. Your mind goes blank, nothing but pleasure and his name is left on repeat. 
Your lashes flutter, attempting to keep your heavy lids open only for your eyes to roll back. Your jaw slacks open and a weak, helpless whimper slips out of you, giving in and allowing your boyfriend to take what belongs to him. 
Your body eventually gives up holding itself up, causing you to fall back into the mattress. His movements slowly come to a halt, keeping himself hard and buried inside of you. 
“Breathe baby,” he coos before fluttering your cheeks with his kisses and stroking his thumb against your hips. “You with me?”
You’re silent, throat raw from your screams of pleasure, but your lips part and a barely audible ‘yes’ is heard.
“There you are, eyes on me. Let me see those pretty eyes.”
When you look at him half lidded, you see a cocky smile stretch across his face. 
“There you go,” he softly chuckles. “My pretty girl, you’re safe, I’m right here.” He tucks your hair behind your ear, knuckles stroking your heated and tear stained cheeks. “You ready for more, baby?” 
Your whimper is enough of an answer.
“Yeah you are,” Jaehyun grins. “Let’s see how far you can be pushed until you break. Get on your stomach.” 
You slowly obey his commands, using whatever strength you have left to flip yourself over. Pulling a pillow under your chin, you begin to feel Jaehyun’s large hands rub against your thighs and up your hips. His lips press against the supple skin of your backside.
“So perfect,” he admires, giving your flesh a slap and soothing that same area with the palm of his hands.
“Yours,” you whisper, barely audible and muffled against his mattress, but he hears it — of course he hears it.
“That’s right. You’re mine,” he says, trailing kisses up your spine. “All mine.” He quietly repeats to himself as he slides his erect cock into you again. 
Pressing his chest against your back, his arm snakes around your throat and your chin resting perfectly against the bend of his elbow with just enough pressure to keep you in place. 
Your hand claws at the bedsheets under you, causing it to peel from the edge of the mattress, while the other grips onto Jaehyun’s forearm, frantically finding something to hold onto. Your limbs are boneless, allowing your boyfriend to use you just the way you want him to. 
It’s only seconds until he’s fully slamming his pelvis against your ass and nothing but choked out sobs slip between your lips. His hips jackhammers into you, hungrily, and his grunts are the only things that fill your ears. 
“Breathe for me,” he huffs, panting as he plunges into you frantically. 
You try your best, your breaths shaking as you try to steady it with every exhale. 
“That’s it, just like that. Good girl,” he says, low and reverent, as his grip slightly tightens around your neck. “You’re not going anywhere until I’m done with you, understand?”
You hum in response, nodding your head before his words could register in your brain. 
He glances at the way your nails rake the bedsheets before digging into the mattress and he feels your gummy walls clench onto his shaft as you bite down on your bottom lip. You’re close and he knows it. 
He releases his grip around your throat before you fall limply onto the mattress. One of his hands presses against your lower back while his other presses against the back of your neck when he mounts you — fucking you brutally as you attempt to muffle your screams into your sheets.
“Just one more baby,” he says through gritted teeth. “Come for me one more time. You can do that, can’t you?” 
You whimper in response. You don’t bother to warn him anymore, you just sob through your climax, far too gone to care as your eyes roll to the back of your skull and your mind fills with haze. 
“Don’t stop,” Jaehyun warns, fucking you through it. “Don’t you dare stop. I want it — all of it. Let me feel that sweet pussy lose itself.”
You’re twitching, trembling, and breathless. Drool slips from your mouth and onto the mattress as your body pluses against his erection, wrecking you with pleasure you can’t control. You’re jolting, helpless, and absolutely broken in the most satisfied and beautiful way possible. 
“Jae��” your voice hitches. “I—”
“I know, baby. I know, it’s a lot, hm?” Jaehyun comforts you, lips pressing against the back of your head before gently pecking kisses against your cheek. “You’re doing so well, coming for me over and over again and taking me like the perfect girl you are.”
Your lips curl into a weak smile, thriving off his words.
“Hold on a little longer for me, I know you can do it, baby. Just a few more strokes, okay?” He bucks into you at a brutal pace, leaving your whole body flushed with heat and overwhelmed with bliss.
Your incoherent mutters stumble out from between your lips and you hear Jaehyun’s praise slur together, clearly pussy drunk off you when hips begin stuttering. 
“I’m gonna c—” his voice hitches before your cunt is flooded with his warm release as he continues to push his load further into you, muttering the word “mine” repeatedly with every deep thrust.
When he comes to his senses, he lays next to you. You curl into him, your body trembling as you feel his warm cum drip out of you. Reaching over towards his nightstand, he urges you to sit up and lifts the water bottle to your lips, watching you gulp down the refreshing beverage. His hands begin to soothe and massage you, pressing kisses against your skin in devotion. 
“You’re okay, babe.” He reassures, gently stroking your cheek with his knuckles before pulling you onto him, your head resting against his chest and basking in his warmth. “You did so well,” he smiles. “Let me take care of you, okay?” 
You nod, letting out a soft giggle and a satisfied sigh when you feel his blanket wrap around you. 
“Just rest,” he softly commands, grabbing his phone from the nightstand. “I’ll order some food, we can take a shower, and I’ll give you a full body massage before bed. Does that sound good?” 
“You’re spoiling me,” you giggle, cheek pressed against his chest before you feel his thumb stroke your waist. “But yeah, that would be nice, thank you.”
Jaehyun cups the back of your head, stroking your hair endearingly. 
“I hope you're proud of yourself.” You tease softly. “You got what you want, I’ll definitely feel this tomorrow.”
“Proud?” He blinks, then a crooked grin spreads across his face, gently tilting your chin up to look at him. “I should get a trophy for this, but…” he trails off, lifting your hand to his lips, kissing your knuckles softly. “Hearing you moan and whimper? Yeah, that was reward enough.”

Tumblr media
Jaehyun kisses your neck, hands snaking around your waist underneath the white covers. The sunlight peaks through the blinds, hitting your face in the most perfect manner. You still smell like flowers from the night before, the scent of your perfume mixing with the salty ocean air flowing through the windows.
He feels like he could melt into your skin. You're as soft as a pillow, he just can't help but grip your skin a little tight, but not too tight. His lips linger on every spot he kisses for just a few seconds, soaking in every bit before he moves on. He doesn't know it, but you're already half awake enjoying every moment of this silently.
He slowly slips his hands up your chest, fondling your breast all while leaving wet kisses along your shoulder, his pretty soft moans escaping on your skin. “Y/N, wake up,” he whispers.
You let out a soft laugh, making him smile on your skin. “Good morning,” he whispers in your ear. “You look so pretty when you sleep.”
You lift your hand, placing it on top of his already touching your chest. Jaehyun bites his lip softly, feeling you push your ass in his hips, furthermore smothering his hard on. The man feels like he's in a dream, the way you turn, eyes half open as you stare at him still trying to fully wake yourself. He just can't help himself, immediately lifting himself off your shoulder and onto your lips, kissing you in the softest most sensual way possible.
“Good morning,” you said, voice groggy. “At least let me brush first.”
Jaehyun shakes his head. He's got that look in his eyes that means he's not planning on letting you get up from the bed for a while. You feel him move his hand from your chest silently, finger tracing down your stomach all the way between your legs.
You don't stop him when he dips a finger into your pussy, lips grazing your ear. “I'm sorry, I just can't help myself,” he mumbles. You're not looking at him but you can tell he's smiling.
You place your hand over his, pressing your back onto his naked chest, his rapid heartbeat on your back. Jaehyun rubs your clit slowly, pressing his fingers into you. You turn your head, brows slightly furrowed at the butterflies in your stomach. He wastes no time capturing your lips in a deep kiss, tongue instantly on yours. You remove your hand from his, reaching back, wanting to jerk him off, but he shook his head.
“Don't worry about me,” he said almost in a whisper. “You'll get that soon I promise.” He kisses you one more time before going back to your neck. Jaehyun kisses down your body slowly, wet kisses trailing down your side until he moves you, laying you on your back. You can tell where this was headed just by how he stared at you through his bangs.
“Baby please,” you sighed softly. “Let me shower.”
“Fuck no.” Jaehyun kisses your stomach, licking the skin as he prys your legs open. “God you're so perfect.” His body towers above yours, eyes blown with desire as he licks your chest, nipples in his mouth almost instantly. Jaehyun is so lost in your body, eyes closed as he flicks his tongue on the soft bud.
“That feels good hm?” Jaehyun stares up at you, your expressions and noises making him melt in your skin. “Keep making those noises for me princess.”
You felt like you were being punished and rewarded all the same time. He knows your body better than you do, knows what you want to hear, what you want to feel. He's your soulmate and you wouldn't have it any other way.
He moves down your body, shifting under the covers in the king-size bed. You watch as he disappears between your legs. Jaehyun kisses the inside of your thighs, nipping at the skin making you jump. “God I missed this so much,” he mumbled on your skin.
“You ate me out last night,” you giggle softly.
"And I couldn't wait to do it again." He kisses your clit, licking the bud of nerves right after. Jaehyun wrapped his lips around the bud, sucking it. His eyes were piercing as he stared at yours, your body immediately beginning to tremble from the intense pressure. Releasing your clit with a small pop, he guides the hot muscle along your pussy, licking a long stripe collecting your slick on his tongue.
He feels your hands move the blanket from his head, allowing you to see more of his beautiful face. He continues to lick you all over, making you moan more and more. He's so obsessed with you, the way you lay there sleepily eyes still droopy from waking up. Jaehyun knows no one will ever make you feel as good as he does even when he's not even trying.
“My pretty girl,” he mumbles. He reaches up, your hand instantly interlocking with his.
“Jaehyun, it feels so good,” you whimper softly. Your other hand ends up on his head, pushing it forward as you begin to move your hips. Jaehyun is staring at you, almost intoxicated on you, enjoying every moment of being at your mercy.
He keeps his tongue on your clit, moving his other hand between your legs. Jaehyun easily slips two fingers in you, your pussy squeezing around the digits. “Fuck,” you gasp.
“Pretty girl,” he whispers. “My pretty girl. All mine, right?”
“Yes baby,” you moan softly. Jaehyun fingers you slowly but that only amplifies the pressure building in your stomach.
“And this pussy belongs to me right?” You nod fast, whining louder when he fingers you faster. Jaehyun redirects his attention to your clit, tongue flicking the bud with a smirk on his face.
The air blowing in from the ocean mixed with the air in the room, the smell of salt and sex mixed hitting your nose sending a nice zing up your spine. He pounds his fingers into you, every ounce of self control beginning to disappear with every whine and whimper you let out.
“Oh my God,” you moan, throwing your head back. “Feels so fucking good. Keep going, just like that.”
Jaehyun kept his same pace, lips locked around the sensitive bud sucking softly. He could feel your walls behind him tightening around his digits, body beginning to tremble under his touch. Jaehyun knows your body too well, knows you're about to cum right on his fingers.
He feels your hands rake through this hair, a strong grip on the brown locks as you hold his other hand tight. Jaehyun fingers piston in you, the sound of your pussy squelching loud in his ears. “Keep grinding baby, you can do it. Cum for me,” he says softly, eyes locked on yours.
Your hips are moving on their own, jaw dropped as soft moans and whines fall from your mouth. “Fuck, oh my god…” The grip on his hand tightens when your orgasm hits you. That euphoric feeling filling your body. Jaehyun pulls his fingers out, staring at them with stars in his eyes.
You watch him suck his fingers cleans then immediately moving on to your soaking wet cunt, lapping up your cum like it's the last time he'll taste you.
“Holy fuck,” he mumbles. “I am so lucky to have you.” Jaehyun lifts himself up, crawling on top of you. You look so pretty under him, the thin layer of sweat on your face, lips wet and bruised from both you and him biting them.
His cock is hard, thick and long against his stomach. The tip is angry and red dripping with precum, contrast to his soft words and touches. Jaehyun loves the way you gawk. You've been with him for so long, but it still makes you excited and nervous. But aside from your lustful expression, a drained expression consumes you.
“Are you tired princess?”
You nod, lids low in lust. “If you loved me, you'd fuck me back to sleep.”
You didn't have to tell him twice. Jaehyun climbs onto you, falling onto his side. You turn your body to face him, breast pressed against his chest when he wrapped his arms around your waist. His breath is ragged, too gone to reel himself back in.
“Gonna fuck this pussy good, don't worry,” he mumbles, words almost slurred fighting against his excitement. Jaehyun lifts your leg, throwing it over his body. You're impatient and too tired to want to take things slow, so you reach between your bodies, taking his cock and lining it with you. Jaehyun pushes his tip in, a gasp leaving his lips.
“Jesus,” he moaned breathlessly. “You're all mine. All mine baby.”
“All yours.” You cup his cheek, kissing his face while he bottoms in you, splitting you open. Jaehyun thrust in you slowly, too afraid of cumming too early.
He's so deep inside you, his cock rubbing against every ridge inside you making your head spin. You kiss him soft, lips lingering on him as you breath heavily. Jaehyun's hand is tight on your waist, trembling with energy as he drags his cock in and out of you. But his self control can only last so long. He begins to thrust faster, the need for more friction starting to take over.
“Jae,” you whine softly, brows furrowing. “So deep..”
“I know baby, I know,” he coos. His deep voice rings through your ears. The slow pace feels good, too good, but you need more and he could tell. Without a word he pulls out, leaving you empty for a second before he gets in front of you. Jaehyun sheaths himself inside you quickly, pushing your legs up knees to your chest.
The sensation is too great to even make a noise, the moment he begins to drill into you, you go slack jawed. Your hands hold the back of your knees accompanying his hands on your thighs. He pounds into you, the sound of your wet cunt hits his ears making him grin.
“You like my cock so much don't you?” His voice is rough and raspy, breath staggered.
A feeble “Uh huh” is all you could let out, not being able to form the proper words. “Just like that, fuck,” you whimper.
“Anything for you baby. My pretty baby. You're made for me, just for me.. Shit, oh my gosh.” Jaehyun can't stop rambling. He's completely fucked out of his mind. The sensation of your tight wet pussy has him lost, the pleasure fogging his brain a bit too much for his comfort. But he likes feeling lost in you.
“Come here, kiss me daddy.”
Jaehyun lets his body fall, one arm holding himself up, the other wrapping around your waist. Your arms wrap around his neck, kissing him deep and hard, your moans spilling into his mouth every time he hits your sweet spot. You held onto him like your life depended on it, nails starting to dig into the back of his neck.
“Who do you belong to,” he says between gritted teeth.
“You.”
“Good girl. Fuck baby I'm so close,” he groans. “Gonna cum so deep in this pussy. You'd like that wouldn't you?”
You nod fast, whimpers being the only sound you can make at this point. Jaehyun watches your eyes roll back, head slowly falling back as you let out a guttural moan. “I'm cumming Jaehyun.”
“Let go for me babygirl, cum all over this dick.” Jaehyun keeps pounding you, your walls getting tighter and tighter around him. He loves watching you cum, the way your body trembles and the cries you let out are like heaven to him, but he can't stop. He has to cum, he has to breed you. Jaehyun thrust even faster, chasing the high he's been waiting for since the moment he woke up.
“Gonna breed this pussy, gonna make you mine.” Jaehyun's eyes are screwed shut now, fucking you so deep the only thing you can see is stars. You've gone from quiet moans to loud, tired whimpers, begging for more but overstimulated at the same time. “Gonna put a baby inside you princess. You want that?”
“Y-yes put a baby in me,” you whine in his neck.
His grip on your waist gets more intense, shaky groans pouring into your ears when he cums deep inside you. The warm feeling fills you up, providing both of you with a sense of relief. And you kiss him, deep and hard the taste of his sweat hitting your lips onto your tongue.
Jaehyun fully collapsed on top of you, heaving as he buried his face in your neck. He lets a moment of silence pass, taking in the moment appreciating the closeness of your hot bodies. That's when he remembers where exactly you two are. In a beach house, windows open, the smell of the ocean hitting his nose once again mixed with the smell of both your bodies intertwined.
“I love you so much,” he whispers, listing his head when faced with your peaceful expression. You fell asleep. Your pretty lips slightly parted, face still glistening with sweat, arms still around his neck, and cock still inside you. And he could lay with you like this for ages.
The man chuckles softly, trying not to wake you from your slumber, but that's easy because soon enough he passes out right along with you.

Birthday Sex
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
SINOPSE
Jaehyun comes back from the military on his birthday. And he’s not expecting just any kind of celebration.
WC: ~3k
MINORS DO NOT INTERACT
☆ Warnings: established couple, slow burn tension, oral (f ︎ m, m ︎ f), rough sex, dirty talk, multiple positions, creampie, praise & possessive kink, uniform kink, facial expressions kink, deep emotional aftercare, explicit language, intense sensuality, crying during sex, soft domination
English is not my first language so sorry for any mistakes
(This is the longest text I've ever written, that's why it took so long 😅😅 I think it's also the dirtiest, that's why I had to be cute at the end, a little embarrassed too 😬😬😬)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jaehyun: —I’m out of the base. I’ll be there in 40 minutes. Open the door when I knock. And wear something that’ll drive me insane. I want you the moment I step in.
Nayara read the message with trembling fingers.
It was his birthday. But the one about to be unwrapped was her.
Forty minutes later, the knock on the door froze her in place. Three firm taps. She opened without thinking. He was there.
Full uniform. Jacket buttoned. Hair buzzed on the sides, heavy expression. But when he saw her, something in him softened. For a second, the soldier gave way to the man who had spent nights dreaming of this moment.
He pulled her in gently. His arms wrapped around her waist, and Nayara buried her face in his chest. The rough fabric of his uniform contrasted with the heat of the body underneath. He kissed the top of her head. Then her face. Her forehead. Her nose.
And then, her mouth.
It was a long kiss. Slow at first, but full of longing. His tongue found hers like he’d been dying of thirst. A thirst he’d carried for months. His body pressed against hers, his scent, his weight—everything about him overwhelmed her completely.
—You have no idea what ran through my head these past six months, he whispered against her lips. —And now that I’m here, you’re mine. All of you. No pause.
He leaned his forehead to hers for a moment. His breath warm. His hands slid down her back, gripping her waist, her ass—like he was confirming she was real.
—Show me you still know how to give me what’s mine.
Nayara dropped to her knees.
It was natural. Instinctive. Her body begged for the position, her desire already pleading to be claimed.
He looked down, eyes darkening with lust.
—Good girl.
Jaehyun slowly unbuckled his belt, still in uniform. He unzipped just enough to free his cock—already hard, thick, pulsing. Nayara looked up at him, licked her lips, then ran her tongue slowly over the tip. Tasted him. Hot, familiar, intoxicating.
She wrapped her lips around him and started sucking.
Slow at first, just her mouth working him, exploring. He groaned low, his hand in her hair, guiding the rhythm.
—Yeah… fuck. Just like that…
Nayara sped up. Her mouth hot, tongue swirling, sucking harder. He tilted his head back for a moment. His hips started to move, thrusting deeper into her throat.
—Look at me, he ordered.
She obeyed, eyes tearing up, locked on his.
He held her head steady. Started fucking her mouth with slow, deep strokes. His other hand cupped her face, thumb wiping the spit running down her chin.
—Fuck, I missed this, he whispered, voice rough. —You like this… on your knees, swallowing it all… like you were made for this.
Nayara moaned with him in her throat. He felt it. Lost it. The pace got rougher. The control vanished.
He thrust hard now, holding her in place, fucking her mouth like it was the only way to unload six months of caged hunger.
But just before finishing, he stopped. Yanked her back by the hair, breathing hard, eyes wild.
—Turn around. Now. I want to fuck you in this uniform. With your mouth still dirty from me.
Jaehyun grabbed Nayara by the hair with calculated force, guiding her to the couch. He threw her onto it like she belonged to him—because she did.
—On all fours, he growled. —Cross your legs.
Nayara obeyed. Propped on her elbows, knees pressed together, legs crossed just like he wanted. The position made her tighter, more sensitive. And he knew it. Fuck, he knew it.
Jaehyun knelt behind her. Uniform still intact. Boots firm on the floor. She heard his zipper opening more, his breathing heavy, and then… his tongue.
No warning.
He dove between her legs like a man unleashed. His tongue licked, pushed inside, circled violently. No tenderness. No mercy. He ate her out like he was trying to erase every second they’d been apart.
—Stay like that, he growled against her. —Tight and ready. Just the way I like it.
His hands spread her ass cheeks roughly, exposing everything. Nayara moaned loud. He just buried his tongue deeper. Sucked harder. Like he was addicted. Like her orgasm was his mission.
When she squirmed too much, he held her still. Bit her. Spanked her. Kept her locked in place—crossed, open, completely vulnerable.
—You gonna come just from my mouth? After six months, still that easy?
She could barely speak. Just moans, gasps, begging.
—Say it. Tell me it’s my pussy. No one else touched it.
—It’s yours… only yours, Jaehyun… it always was!
He sucked harder. His tongue vibrating against her clit with steady pressure. His fingers slid inside her, filling her, fucking her with his mouth.
And she exploded.
The orgasm tore through her. Hard. Hot. Almost painful. She screamed, her whole body shaking, thighs squeezing tight in the crossed position he commanded.
But he didn’t stop.
Kept licking. Kept sucking. Kept finger-fucking. He wanted more. He wanted her broken. Shaking. Gone.
And when she tried to crawl away, he yanked her back by the waist.
—Don’t run. I waited six fucking months. You’re taking everything.
She was still shaking from the orgasm, her body arched, her legs crossed as he had told her to. But Jaehyun was nowhere near satisfied.
He spoke to himself, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, his gaze filled with fire.
“Stay like this.”
He opened his pants further, without taking anything off. He only left his cock free, hard, throbbing. His uniform hung open, but he was still wearing everything — and that only made everything dirtier.
He spat on his hand, supported himself by the base, and knelt behind her.
With one hand firmly on Nayara's waist and the other on her braids, he pulled her head back while the tip of his cock touched her hot, throbbing entrance.
“I'm going to fuck you until you forget your name.”
And he did.
Deep. All at once. Without mercy.
She clarified. The sound was muffled by his hand that touched her mouth next.
"Shhh… you're going to wake up the neighbors. Or do you want everyone to know that you're being fucked by your uniformed man, on the couch?"
The thrusts came hard, heavy. He pounded his entire body, each movement making the couch creak. His hand held Nayara's hips, pulling her against his brutal thrusts. The sound of their bodies colliding was loud, wet, animalistic.
"You're mine. Mine. Do you understand?"
"Yes, fuck, only yours!"
He let go of her braids forcefully, bending her spine, making Nayara look back as he fucked her. His eyes were wild. A sweaty uniform. His face red with tension.
He spat on her ass, running his finger along it, threatening to stick it in.
"You can handle it, right? You like it when I'm like this. Rough. No mercy."
And she moaned even more. She begged. She pleaded.
He threw her sideways on the couch, placed one leg on his shoulder, and came back at her. The new angle made him hit her hard. Nayara felt everything. And he moaned along with her—low, hoarse, as if he were fighting himself.
“You’re going to cum again for me,” he growled. “Now. Come with me.”
And she came.
The second time was even stronger. Her body locked up, her chest heaving, her legs trembling.
Jaehyun thrust a few more times, his movements becoming uncoordinated. He grunted deeply, dug his nails into her skin, and came hard—inside, deep, with her entire body trembling on top of his.
The silence afterward was heavy. They were both panting. Sweaty. Exhausted.
But he still hadn’t taken off his uniform. And Nayara knew: he wasn’t going to stop there.
Jaehyun fell on top of Nayara, panting, his sweaty chest pressed against her back. Their bodies were still throbbing, shaking. His uniform stuck to their skin — and the heat between them seemed to set the room on fire.
She turned her face and smiled, with that glint of challenge in her eyes.
“First round… and you’re already like this?”
He laughed. That low, hoarse laugh that made the hairs on her body stand on end.
“You don’t know what I brought in my backpack.”
He stood up, slowly taking off his jacket, then his t-shirt. His body was pure muscle and training marks — thick thighs, tense arms, sweat dripping between the abs. Nayara bit her lip.
He opened the backpack on the floor and pulled out two items: a small, discreet vibrator and a thick, black cock ring.
“I thought about you every time I jerked off. And I bought this thinking about when I came back. Now that I’m here… you’ll feel everything.”
She lay down on the couch, spreading her legs, her thighs wide and shining with desire. Her pussy was still wet, throbbing.
“Come on, then. Show me.”
Jaehyun knelt down. He placed the ring at the base of his already half-erect cock, which began to harden again just looking at her open like that.
He turned on the vibrator and passed it along the inside of her thighs first. Nayara shivered. She moaned softly.
“Not directly on the clitoris… Jaehyun…”
“Shh. Now it’s my way.”
He slid the vibrator over her clitoris, circling it with pressure. His fingers entered slowly as she moaned loudly, her whole body reacting. The vibrator was vibrating at the exact spot. He knew it.
She came again, lighter, more sensitive, but still hot. He then climbed on top of her, placed his cock between her legs and thrust slowly, with the ring vibrating along with it, increasing each sensation.
“Fuck, Nayara… you squeeze me in a way…”
They both moaned together. Now the rhythm was more controlled, but the pleasure was multiplied. The ring vibrated, her clitoris was touched by the toy, and Nayara was already at her limit.
“Get on top,” he asked, his voice choked.
She rode him firmly. Her hands on his chest, shaking hard. Her ass slapped against his thighs with dry pops. The vibrator stuck between them was still on, and he almost screamed with the doubled stimulation.
“Go… Nay… fuck me like that. That's it, fuck!”
She leaned forward and bit his shoulder. Her nails marked his abdomen. They were both sweaty, close together, wild.
And then they came together. Trembling. No sound. Just labored breathing, eyes closed, bodies collapsing.
Silence.
Then, only the sound of the vibrator being turned off, and her low laughter in his ear.
Nayara got off the couch limping slightly. Her legs were shaking. Her skin was still vibrating. She was heading towards the bathroom when she felt his gaze burning into her back.
She turned slowly.
Jaehyun was still naked, standing in the middle of the room, his eyes fixed on her as if he couldn't believe that all of this was real. His chest rose and fell slowly, but his dick… was still hard.
She raised an eyebrow. "Are you going again?"
He took a step. Then another. Until his body was pressed against hers. Without a word, he ran his hand over her face, then down her throat, until he was holding the back of her neck.
"Shut up and lie down on the bed. Legs open. Hands up."
His voice left no room for argument.
She turned around without saying anything, feeling the air heat up again. She entered the room, climbed onto the bed and did exactly what he told her to do. Her body was limp, but her arousal was rekindling. Her thighs were throbbing. Her pussy was already starting to throb with anticipation alone.
Jaehyun came in soon after. He brought the vibrator back. And a Velcro handcuff that she didn't even know he had brought.
“I want you to surrender, Nay. No escape. You'll cum until you beg me to stop.”
She smiled mischievously. “I doubt it.”
He climbed onto the bed and tied her wrists together, above her head, using the headboard. He turned on the vibrator and placed it between her legs, without touching it directly. Just touching it there, teasing.
Meanwhile, he masturbated slowly. His cock was growing again. Firm. Throbbing. His jaw clenched. He seemed in destruction mode.
“Look how my cock gets just seeing your pussy open.”
She moaned. Her legs tried to close, but he pushed them with his knee. He opened them wider.
And he thrust.
All at once.
With no relief. No time to breathe.
She screamed. He thrust deep, hard. The vibrator stuck between them. Each thrust hit the exact spot. The cock ring was still there, vibrating along with it.
Her eyes rolled back.
“DON’T STOP, JAEEEH—”
He covered her mouth with his hand. “Shhh. I’m far from stopping.”
He took it out and put it back in. He took it out again. And thrust deeper, faster. Nayara screamed with her eyes, her body arching, trying to escape. But he kept her there. Trapped. Surrendered.
Her hands tied. Her soul wide open.
He bit her shoulder. He slapped her ass, pulled her hair, cursed softly:
“Holy shit… you were born for this. To be fucked by me. All over. Until you pass out.”
And she came.
Harshly. Almost painful. Almost suffocating. Her entire body shook. The orgasm tore through her. And he kept going.
She couldn’t speak anymore. Her hands were numb, her arms pinned above her head, her body sweating, vibrating, begging for the end and for more at the same time.
Jaehyun thrust as if he was on the verge of something that not even he knew how to control. His thrusts hit deep, more intense and more desperate. The vibrator was still vibrating between them, and Nayara was crying.
Tears were streaming from her eyes — not from pain, but from overwhelming pleasure. Pleasure so strong that her body didn't know what to do with it anymore. She was shaking. She was screaming. She was crying.
He saw it.
"Are you crying for me, love?" he whispered, his voice cracking with lust. "You're feeling everything, right? You're squeezing me so tight… fuck."
His cock was throbbing. Nayara was wrapping it around him so tightly that he could barely move.
"You're going to make me cum inside you. Do you want it? Do you want me to explode inside you."
She could only moan and shake her head, her face sweaty, her eyes wet.
That's when he bit her.
With his hand firmly holding her hip, he bent down and bit her shoulder hard — marking it, as if he wanted her to remember that moment for the rest of her life.
And then he came.
Jaehyun locked his entire body. A hoarse grunt came from his throat. His cock exploded inside her in hot, strong, endless jets. He came deep, feeling her tighten even more with each contraction, as if her body was sucking every drop.
“That's it… fuck, Nayara… swallow it all… all… fuck…”
She felt it.
The hot jets hitting the bottom. The heat invading. Her thighs trembling. Her body collapsing along with his.
He stayed inside her for a few seconds, still throbbing, still moaning softly in her ear.
When he finally pulled out, his cock slipped out slowly, glistening with cum, and he saw: his cum began to drip from her, white, thick, hot.
He didn't accept that.
“No… no. This is yours.”
And with his fingers, he tried to push it all back in. Gently, but obsessively. As if it was more than just cum. As if it was part of him that he didn't want to escape.
She moaned as she felt his fingers pushing the cum back inside.
“Stay with me,” he murmured, looking straight into her eyes.
And then, he bent down and kissed her.
A slow kiss. Wet. Deep. Full of surrender. A kiss of absolute love, sweaty, post-sex, post-orgy, post-chaos. A kiss that said more than any words.
He let go of her hands, but she didn't move.
She stayed there. Lying down. Destroyed. Loved. Marked.
He hugged her from behind, still inside the bed.
“I fucking love you, Nay.”
She smiled, her eyes closed and her soul satisfied.
“Happy birthday, Jaehyun.”
The room was silent.
Just the sound of the fan spinning on the ceiling and her breathing slowing down little by little. Nayara was still lying on her side, legs spread, her entire body relaxed and sensitive, with goosebumps on her skin in places he hadn’t even touched.
Jaehyun was kneeling beside the bed, his head resting on the mattress, observing her body as if he couldn’t believe she really existed.
He got up slowly, went to the bathroom, wet a towel with warm water and came back.
“Stay still, love,” he said softly.
She didn’t answer. She only let out a sigh when she felt the warm touch between her legs.
Jaehyun cleaned her carefully. With reverence. He wiped the towel slowly, removing the traces of cum with care, without pressing. As if he was taking care of the most precious thing in the world. Every now and then, he would kiss her thigh. Or her belly.
When he was done, he threw the towel in the basket and came back with one of his t-shirts. He put it on her delicately, as if she were made of glass.
“Are you hungry?” he asked, arranging her hair with his fingers.
“Only you,” she murmured, with a lazy smile.
He laughed, but still took out his cell phone and ordered food. Then he lay down behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist, his nose touching her neck.
They stayed like that. Close together. In silence. His touch was different now—light, gentle. A finger tracing invisible lines on her arm. A kiss on the back of her neck every few minutes.
“You drive me completely crazy, you know?” he said, his voice low, almost choked. “When I was there… in the barracks… the only thing that kept me going was imagining you. Here. Waiting for me.”
She squeezed his hand between her fingers, her eyes still closed.
“And you came back. And you fucked me like the world was ending.”
“And after that, I just want to take care of you,” he whispered. “Bathe you, feed you, hold you in my arms. You are my love and my addiction.”
He kissed her shoulder. His breathing was already slower. And yet, the touch was still there. Endless affection.
Jaehyun was no longer the soldier who arrived breaking everything. Now, he was just the man. The boyfriend who cleaned, cared, loved.
A short time later, the intercom rang.
Jaehyun got up slowly, still naked, put on some random shorts and went to the door to get the order. Nayara stayed in bed, lying on her side, just watching. When he came back, he was carrying a tray with food and two glasses of juice, balancing everything with that smile of someone who is completely surrendered.
“Time to recharge, Mrs. Jeong,” he said, blinking.
She laughed, sitting up with effort on the bed, his shirt still half-up, her legs spread, red marks on her thighs. He helped her adjust the pillows, placed the tray on her lap, and sat next to her, close.
“You knew that fucking me like that would leave me without the strength to get up, right?”
“I knew. That was the plan,” he said, laughing.
They ate slowly, sharing the food with each smile. With each bite, he made sure to put it in her mouth, as if that were part of the care. She returned it with warm looks, but the mood was different now — calm, intimate, almost sacred.
When they finished, he collected everything, left it in the kitchen and went back to the bedroom. Nayara was already lying down again, with her eyes closed. But she opened them when she felt his arms wrap around her legs.
“What’s up…?”
“You’re going to take a shower. And I’m going to take you.”
“You’re crazy.”
“Crazy about you.”
She smiled, surrendered.
In the bathroom, he sat her on the shower bench. He turned on the warm water, adjusted the temperature and got in with her. He took the soap, lathered his hands, and began to gently rub each part of her body.
First her shoulders. Then her neck. Her arms. Her chest. Her belly. Her thighs. And between her legs — with the utmost respect, but without stopping to smile at the memory of what they had just done there hours before.
She just sighed. Her eyes closed. Trusting. Surrendering even to the care.
Then he washed his own body quickly, turned off the shower and took the towel. He dried her as if she were the most precious thing in the world. Every curve. Every fold.
“Do you have any idea how beautiful you are?”
“I do. Because you remind me of that all the time.”
He laughed, wrapped her in the towel and picked her up again.
In the bedroom, he slowly placed her on the bed, lay down on her side, and pulled the sheet over them both. Their legs intertwined naturally. Their breathing began to align.
In the darkness, with only the low light from the window, he caressed her back with his fingertips. And he whispered:
“No matter how long I stay away again… I will always come back to you. Always.”
She turned her face, pressed her lips to his chest.
“And I will always be here. To be yours.”
He kissed the top of her head.
And finally, they slept.
Exhausted and Satisfied

Tumblr media
Jaehyun kisses your neck, hands snaking around your waist underneath the white covers. The sunlight peaks through the blinds, hitting your face in the most perfect manner. You still smell like flowers from the night before, the scent of your perfume mixing with the salty ocean air flowing through the windows.
He feels like he could melt into your skin. You're as soft as a pillow, he just can't help but grip your skin a little tight, but not too tight. His lips linger on every spot he kisses for just a few seconds, soaking in every bit before he moves on. He doesn't know it, but you're already half awake enjoying every moment of this silently.
He slowly slips his hands up your chest, fondling your breast all while leaving wet kisses along your shoulder, his pretty soft moans escaping on your skin. “Y/N, wake up,” he whispers.
You let out a soft laugh, making him smile on your skin. “Good morning,” he whispers in your ear. “You look so pretty when you sleep.”
You lift your hand, placing it on top of his already touching your chest. Jaehyun bites his lip softly, feeling you push your ass in his hips, furthermore smothering his hard on. The man feels like he's in a dream, the way you turn, eyes half open as you stare at him still trying to fully wake yourself. He just can't help himself, immediately lifting himself off your shoulder and onto your lips, kissing you in the softest most sensual way possible.
“Good morning,” you said, voice groggy. “At least let me brush first.”
Jaehyun shakes his head. He's got that look in his eyes that means he's not planning on letting you get up from the bed for a while. You feel him move his hand from your chest silently, finger tracing down your stomach all the way between your legs.
You don't stop him when he dips a finger into your pussy, lips grazing your ear. “I'm sorry, I just can't help myself,” he mumbles. You're not looking at him but you can tell he's smiling.
You place your hand over his, pressing your back onto his naked chest, his rapid heartbeat on your back. Jaehyun rubs your clit slowly, pressing his fingers into you. You turn your head, brows slightly furrowed at the butterflies in your stomach. He wastes no time capturing your lips in a deep kiss, tongue instantly on yours. You remove your hand from his, reaching back, wanting to jerk him off, but he shook his head.
“Don't worry about me,” he said almost in a whisper. “You'll get that soon I promise.” He kisses you one more time before going back to your neck. Jaehyun kisses down your body slowly, wet kisses trailing down your side until he moves you, laying you on your back. You can tell where this was headed just by how he stared at you through his bangs.
“Baby please,” you sighed softly. “Let me shower.”
“Fuck no.” Jaehyun kisses your stomach, licking the skin as he prys your legs open. “God you're so perfect.” His body towers above yours, eyes blown with desire as he licks your chest, nipples in his mouth almost instantly. Jaehyun is so lost in your body, eyes closed as he flicks his tongue on the soft bud.
“That feels good hm?” Jaehyun stares up at you, your expressions and noises making him melt in your skin. “Keep making those noises for me princess.”
You felt like you were being punished and rewarded all the same time. He knows your body better than you do, knows what you want to hear, what you want to feel. He's your soulmate and you wouldn't have it any other way.
He moves down your body, shifting under the covers in the king-size bed. You watch as he disappears between your legs. Jaehyun kisses the inside of your thighs, nipping at the skin making you jump. “God I missed this so much,” he mumbled on your skin.
“You ate me out last night,” you giggle softly.
"And I couldn't wait to do it again." He kisses your clit, licking the bud of nerves right after. Jaehyun wrapped his lips around the bud, sucking it. His eyes were piercing as he stared at yours, your body immediately beginning to tremble from the intense pressure. Releasing your clit with a small pop, he guides the hot muscle along your pussy, licking a long stripe collecting your slick on his tongue.
He feels your hands move the blanket from his head, allowing you to see more of his beautiful face. He continues to lick you all over, making you moan more and more. He's so obsessed with you, the way you lay there sleepily eyes still droopy from waking up. Jaehyun knows no one will ever make you feel as good as he does even when he's not even trying.
“My pretty girl,” he mumbles. He reaches up, your hand instantly interlocking with his.
“Jaehyun, it feels so good,” you whimper softly. Your other hand ends up on his head, pushing it forward as you begin to move your hips. Jaehyun is staring at you, almost intoxicated on you, enjoying every moment of being at your mercy.
He keeps his tongue on your clit, moving his other hand between your legs. Jaehyun easily slips two fingers in you, your pussy squeezing around the digits. “Fuck,” you gasp.
“Pretty girl,” he whispers. “My pretty girl. All mine, right?”
“Yes baby,” you moan softly. Jaehyun fingers you slowly but that only amplifies the pressure building in your stomach.
“And this pussy belongs to me right?” You nod fast, whining louder when he fingers you faster. Jaehyun redirects his attention to your clit, tongue flicking the bud with a smirk on his face.
The air blowing in from the ocean mixed with the air in the room, the smell of salt and sex mixed hitting your nose sending a nice zing up your spine. He pounds his fingers into you, every ounce of self control beginning to disappear with every whine and whimper you let out.
“Oh my God,” you moan, throwing your head back. “Feels so fucking good. Keep going, just like that.”
Jaehyun kept his same pace, lips locked around the sensitive bud sucking softly. He could feel your walls behind him tightening around his digits, body beginning to tremble under his touch. Jaehyun knows your body too well, knows you're about to cum right on his fingers.
He feels your hands rake through this hair, a strong grip on the brown locks as you hold his other hand tight. Jaehyun fingers piston in you, the sound of your pussy squelching loud in his ears. “Keep grinding baby, you can do it. Cum for me,” he says softly, eyes locked on yours.
Your hips are moving on their own, jaw dropped as soft moans and whines fall from your mouth. “Fuck, oh my god…” The grip on his hand tightens when your orgasm hits you. That euphoric feeling filling your body. Jaehyun pulls his fingers out, staring at them with stars in his eyes.
You watch him suck his fingers cleans then immediately moving on to your soaking wet cunt, lapping up your cum like it's the last time he'll taste you.
“Holy fuck,” he mumbles. “I am so lucky to have you.” Jaehyun lifts himself up, crawling on top of you. You look so pretty under him, the thin layer of sweat on your face, lips wet and bruised from both you and him biting them.
His cock is hard, thick and long against his stomach. The tip is angry and red dripping with precum, contrast to his soft words and touches. Jaehyun loves the way you gawk. You've been with him for so long, but it still makes you excited and nervous. But aside from your lustful expression, a drained expression consumes you.
“Are you tired princess?”
You nod, lids low in lust. “If you loved me, you'd fuck me back to sleep.”
You didn't have to tell him twice. Jaehyun climbs onto you, falling onto his side. You turn your body to face him, breast pressed against his chest when he wrapped his arms around your waist. His breath is ragged, too gone to reel himself back in.
“Gonna fuck this pussy good, don't worry,” he mumbles, words almost slurred fighting against his excitement. Jaehyun lifts your leg, throwing it over his body. You're impatient and too tired to want to take things slow, so you reach between your bodies, taking his cock and lining it with you. Jaehyun pushes his tip in, a gasp leaving his lips.
“Jesus,” he moaned breathlessly. “You're all mine. All mine baby.”
“All yours.” You cup his cheek, kissing his face while he bottoms in you, splitting you open. Jaehyun thrust in you slowly, too afraid of cumming too early.
He's so deep inside you, his cock rubbing against every ridge inside you making your head spin. You kiss him soft, lips lingering on him as you breath heavily. Jaehyun's hand is tight on your waist, trembling with energy as he drags his cock in and out of you. But his self control can only last so long. He begins to thrust faster, the need for more friction starting to take over.
“Jae,” you whine softly, brows furrowing. “So deep..”
“I know baby, I know,” he coos. His deep voice rings through your ears. The slow pace feels good, too good, but you need more and he could tell. Without a word he pulls out, leaving you empty for a second before he gets in front of you. Jaehyun sheaths himself inside you quickly, pushing your legs up knees to your chest.
The sensation is too great to even make a noise, the moment he begins to drill into you, you go slack jawed. Your hands hold the back of your knees accompanying his hands on your thighs. He pounds into you, the sound of your wet cunt hits his ears making him grin.
“You like my cock so much don't you?” His voice is rough and raspy, breath staggered.
A feeble “Uh huh” is all you could let out, not being able to form the proper words. “Just like that, fuck,” you whimper.
“Anything for you baby. My pretty baby. You're made for me, just for me.. Shit, oh my gosh.” Jaehyun can't stop rambling. He's completely fucked out of his mind. The sensation of your tight wet pussy has him lost, the pleasure fogging his brain a bit too much for his comfort. But he likes feeling lost in you.
“Come here, kiss me daddy.”
Jaehyun lets his body fall, one arm holding himself up, the other wrapping around your waist. Your arms wrap around his neck, kissing him deep and hard, your moans spilling into his mouth every time he hits your sweet spot. You held onto him like your life depended on it, nails starting to dig into the back of his neck.
“Who do you belong to,” he says between gritted teeth.
“You.”
“Good girl. Fuck baby I'm so close,” he groans. “Gonna cum so deep in this pussy. You'd like that wouldn't you?”
You nod fast, whimpers being the only sound you can make at this point. Jaehyun watches your eyes roll back, head slowly falling back as you let out a guttural moan. “I'm cumming Jaehyun.”
“Let go for me babygirl, cum all over this dick.” Jaehyun keeps pounding you, your walls getting tighter and tighter around him. He loves watching you cum, the way your body trembles and the cries you let out are like heaven to him, but he can't stop. He has to cum, he has to breed you. Jaehyun thrust even faster, chasing the high he's been waiting for since the moment he woke up.
“Gonna breed this pussy, gonna make you mine.” Jaehyun's eyes are screwed shut now, fucking you so deep the only thing you can see is stars. You've gone from quiet moans to loud, tired whimpers, begging for more but overstimulated at the same time. “Gonna put a baby inside you princess. You want that?”
“Y-yes put a baby in me,” you whine in his neck.
His grip on your waist gets more intense, shaky groans pouring into your ears when he cums deep inside you. The warm feeling fills you up, providing both of you with a sense of relief. And you kiss him, deep and hard the taste of his sweat hitting your lips onto your tongue.
Jaehyun fully collapsed on top of you, heaving as he buried his face in your neck. He lets a moment of silence pass, taking in the moment appreciating the closeness of your hot bodies. That's when he remembers where exactly you two are. In a beach house, windows open, the smell of the ocean hitting his nose once again mixed with the smell of both your bodies intertwined.
“I love you so much,” he whispers, listing his head when faced with your peaceful expression. You fell asleep. Your pretty lips slightly parted, face still glistening with sweat, arms still around his neck, and cock still inside you. And he could lay with you like this for ages.
The man chuckles softly, trying not to wake you from your slumber, but that's easy because soon enough he passes out right along with you.

MINORS GO AWAY
Pairing: Pianist!Jaehyun x reader
Synopsis: quiet, haunting, and dangerously talented. a man carved from silence and precision. Jeong Jaehyun, the world-renowned pianist, lived by structure. Lived by discipline.
loud in all the ways that mattered. She played like she was trying to bleed. A mess of passion, pain, and poetry. No titles. No training. Just the ache of a girl who used music to escape. To survive.
They were a slow-burning harmony of restraint and desire, grasping onto the black and white keys...trying not to unravel. Every note pulled them closer and closer until they reached their climax. The crescendo.
Word count: 8.5k
WARNING: Smut, angst, yearning, mentions of abuse and scars, mentions of death and grief, choking, spitting, hair pulling, he eats her out on top of the piano, crying, begging, literal definition of until the paint starts to peel off the wall.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This work contains guide songs. Basically, songs I use to set the tone for a scene. You don't have to listen to them, but the experience would definitely be better if you listen as you read for each specific part. Enjoy!!! @andysorbit @sharonxdevi @calibabii21
Tumblr media
A piano is an extension of the pianist.How you play it reflects how you feel about your music and the relationship you have with it.
Your grandfather was a talent his generation both mocked and adored. They praised him for his brilliance but laughed at his outlandish way of playing.
A sudden pianissimo where it didn’t belong. A staccato attack on notes meant to be tied. He had a habit of doing things suddenly. He liked the attention. He liked the shock.
So imagine no one’s surprise when He suddenly died at his old piano. Well… no one’s but yours.
A stress-induced heart attack, the doctors had said.
“Hmph,” you huffed, as tears stung the back of your eyes. Of course the only family you ever truly had would go out like that. And deep down, you knew… he wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.
He died doing what he loved—Playing. Composing. Being unapologetically himself.
His funeral was today
And you couldn’t even bring yourself to sit at the church piano when the priest asked you to.
But here you stood now, alone in his studio. Staring at the last piece he played before he died.
Beethoven’s Für Elise.
A lump formed in your throat. He hated that piece. But you loved it.
“You’re a child prodigy, sweetheart!” he’d always say. Lies. At seven, you were a terrible player. But he’d clap like you’d just performed at Carnegie Hall.
It was the first piece you ever played together.
“Two on a bench, one heart between the notes.” He’d say.
You ran your hand along the worn wood of the piano. Something heavy settled in your stomach.
You never handled strong emotions well.
“Most gifted people don’t.”  His eyes would twinkle with understanding.
But now, you took a seat at the bench and inhaled.
“Go on, sweetheart. You can do it,” he’d whisper every time you sat down to play something new.
Your fingers twitched. Für Elise stared back at you. The memory of his voice echoed:
“It doesn’t matter if the piece is happy, sweetheart. If you play it with sadness, people will feel it. It’s not about the notes. It’s about what you pour into them. Feel it. Then play it.”
So what were you feeling?
Grief. Sadness. Anger. Loneliness. Desperation.
Could Für Elise carry all that?
You didn’t know.
But your fingers moved on their own. And for the first time in almost two months…you let the first tear fall.
It hurt. it hurt so fucking bad.
He was gone. The only one who ever truly cared for you… was gone. And your only release? The music that killed him.
“I assume you’re the granddaughter he liked to brag about?”
You whipped around at the sound of a new voice. You hadn’t even realized someone else was in the room.
You didn’t trust your voice, so you just nodded.
Standing there was a tall, posh-looking man— Black turtleneck, black slacks, and leather shoes. Too polished for a place this sacred and raw.
“I’m Jaehyun, a friend of your grandfather” he stretched his hand offering a handshake
You stood up form the bench and shook his hand
“I know who you are” Your voice came out scratchy and strained.
Everyone who was interested in classical music and pianos knew who The Jeong Jaehyun was.
He was an actual child prodigy who actually played at Carnegie hall.
His name was worth more than gold in the industry.
But-
“Good. I heard your playing out there, and I know it is not the most appropriate time to say this, but your attempt at Für Elise was horrible.”
-Everyone also knew he was a conceited little prick.
Too prim and far too proper.
Which is why it surprised you when he said He was a ‘friend’ of your grandfather.
“I’m not a professional”  You informed him
He nodded as if grateful that you really weren’t
“Grandpa taught me how to play”
He paused for a moment and his gaze shifted to the piano behind you.
He clenched his jaw and whispered “I can tell”
But it wasn’t in a rude tone…it sounded almost
Envious.
A Few Months Later
Grief had stopped screaming.
It just sat with you now—quiet and heavy—like a coat you didn’t take off, even in the heat.
You didn’t go back to the piano much.
Not because you didn’t want to.
But because it still smelled like him. Sounded like him. It felt like holding hands with a ghost.
You stood in front of your mirror, smoothing out your dress and releasing a big breath.
Your friend’s voice had been light when she invited you.
“It’s just a community fundraiser. Small, casual. They’ll have music, snacks, people who don’t take themselves too seriously.”
You almost said no. But then she added:
“They’re naming the practice room after your grandpa.”
So you said yes. For him. Because he would’ve liked that.
The room was cramped but warm. People laughed, bumped shoulders, sipped boxed juice and clapped after every shaky performance.
 The piano was far too close to the speakers and had three sticky keys.
It was perfect.
You stood near the back, arms folded, letting the noise wrap around your silence.
“We’ve got a final performance tonight,” the MC said, with a lilt of surprise. “Please welcome… Jeong Jaehyun?”
Your blood ran cold.
You looked up.
And there he was.
Still pristine. Still poised. Still unreadable.
His eyes met yours across the room. Just once.
No smile. No nod. Just that silent look that said I remember you.
He sat.
You didn’t breathe.
His fingers moved like water—every note clean, every phrase controlled.
And then you recognized it.
Your grandfather’s piece.
Your lungs tightened.
It was the one he never finished. The one he used to hum around the house with a pencil between his teeth. The one he said would never be “perfect,” and didn’t need to be.
But Jaehyun’s version… was perfect.
Painfully so.
Polished into something unrecognizable. All the grief sanded away.
It was beautiful. But it wasn’t your grandfather.
It wasn’t messy. It didn’t stumble. It didn’t cry.
You swallowed around the lump in your throat. The ache came rushing back, not loud, but raw.
Your fingers twitched. You could almost hear your grandfather’s voice:
“Feel it first, sweetheart. Then play it.”
But Jaehyun hadn’t felt it.
He had played it like it was a performance.
Not a memory.
When he finished, the crowd clapped softly. Grateful. Polite.
You didn’t move.
He looked at you again.
Longer this time.
There was something in his eyes that hadn’t been there before.
Not regret. Not pride.
Just… silence.
Almost like he knew he’d played it wrong.
Not technically, But emotionally.
And that was worse.
Jaehyun rose smoothly from the piano bench, his expression unreadable as he nodded once toward the crowd. No flourish, no bow…just quiet, controlled grace. He disappeared backstage before anyone could ask for an encore.
You stood frozen for a moment, chest tight, eyes burning.
How could he play it so… pristine? So distant? Like it was just another song to master, not a heart laid bare?
Your friends approached softly, sensing the storm behind your silence.
“You okay?” Joy asked gently.
You forced a smile, nodding as you wrapped your arms around yourself.
“I’m gonna get some fresh air,” you said quietly.
“if you don’t see me come back, I’m gone”
They nodded, understanding.
You said your goodbyes, voice steady but your mind racing with a tangle of grief and anger.
Walking out of the room, the weight of the music pressed down on you—beautiful, but empty.
Outside, the night air hit your face.
You breathed it in.
You didn’t know when the grief would loosen its grip. But tonight… tonight it was louder than ever.
Jaehyun stepped into the night, his movements measured, almost detached. He saw you standing there, tense and tight.
He stopped a few feet away. His voice was low, clipped. “You’re angry.”
You didn’t turn. “Why do you play it like that? So perfect. So cold.”
He said nothing for a beat. Then, without looking at you, “Because that’s how it’s done.”
Your voice rose, sharp with grief and rage. “It’s not just about the music. It’s about him. About what he meant.”
Jaehyun’s jaw tightened. His eyes, dark and unreadable, flicked toward you for a moment — no warmth, no softness. “I’m not here to comfort you.”
You finally faced him, bitterness raw. “Then why’re you here?”
“Because I feel like I need to be.” His tone was flat, dismissive. “I’m not here to play for your feelings.”
You clenched your fists, pain and envy mixing in your chest. “I’m starting to hate you.”
He gave a short, humourless laugh. “Good.”
Then, without another word, he turned and walked away, leaving the cold night and your anger swirling behind him.
TWO WEEKS LATER
One of the scariest things about being a celebrity was that people always kept tabs on you. Your meals, your latest purchases, your favourite stores... even your current location.
“OMG!! I just saw Jaehyun entering Smith’s Hall… he must be practicing for a concert or something 😭😭😭” — Twitter user @yuno_wifey, 12 minutes ago
You hadn’t meant to care. But something about the way he played music rubbed you the wrong way.
Too perfect, too calculated. It didn’t sit right with you.
So here you were, standing in front of Smith’s Hall, determined to figure out the truth. Because there was no way in hell he’d had a real friendship with your grandfather. Not with the way he played.
You stepped through the massive double doors and froze. It smelled like polished wood and silence — heavy, suffocating. It didn’t feel like a space made for passion or practice. It felt like a performance prison.
The velvet chairs and glossy décor practically screamed no mistakes and no funny business.
“Grandpa would’ve hated this,” you muttered.
“He did.” The voice cut through the quiet, sharp and unmistakable.
You turned — and there he was. Jaehyun. The man claiming to be your grandfather’s friend.
He looked at you for a long moment. “How did you know I was here?”
He wasn’t surprised you were here.
Like he’d been waiting for you to show up.
How odd.
“Twitter,” you said simply.
He gave a small nod — and in true Jaehyun fashion, just turned and walked into a smaller room off to the side.
Naturally, you followed. Why? Because you needed to know. Something.
The room was small and stripped of pretense — cold, but more real than the grand hall. It suited him more than the main stage ever could.
You lingered in the doorway. “I have a question for you.”
He didn’t respond. So you asked it anyway.
“Why do you even play?”
The door closed softly behind you.
Jaehyun sat at the grand piano, back to you, fingers lightly resting on the keys, his posture infuriatingly perfect.
For weeks, ever since he played your grandfather’s piece with that cold, surgical precision, you hadn’t been able to stop thinking about him. About the way his music felt like a fortress. And what it would mean if someone broke through.
“Let me play for you,” you said. Quiet. Steady. But your heart pounded hard.
Still, he didn’t turn. Just the faint shift of his clothes — a barely-there movement.
You stepped closer. “I want to show you how it feels. The way I feel.”
Nothing.
But you still moved towards him.
You sat beside him. The bench was cold. He was close — closer than you expected — and his cologne lingered in the air between you. You could feel his attention, even if he wouldn’t meet your eyes.
You placed your fingers on the keys. They trembled.
Then, slowly, painfully, you began to play.
It wasn’t smooth. You cracked, faltered, stumbled. But this wasn’t about perfection. It was about everything inside you that hurt and screamed and longed.
The tension in the room grew thick, electric. Jaehyun’s hands twitched. His jaw clenched.
Then, for the briefest moment, his eyes flicked toward you — sharp, unreadable. You caught it. Or maybe you imagined it.
Still, you played on. Grief. Anger. Yearning. You poured it all into the notes.
When you finally stopped, the silence was deafening.
He stood and moved behind you.
Your breath hitched.
He didn’t say a word. But as he walked away, something shifted.
Like gravity had changed. Like he’d noticed.
Like he saw you.
“Well then…”
You stood, brushing invisible dust from your jeans, the ache in your chest blooming wider now that it was quiet again. The room, dim and cold, suddenly felt too still.
You turned toward the door, ready to leave it all behind — him, the questions, the music that wouldn’t stop following you.
But then you heard it. Footsteps.
Slow. Deliberate.
You froze.
Jaehyun stepped back into the room, his expression unreadable, but his hand — his hand clutched a sheet of music, crisp and marked with notes like scars.
He didn’t speak right away. Just walked past you, calm and silent, and set the paper on the music stand.
Then he turned to you, eyes meeting yours. For once, he didn’t look through you — he looked at you.
“Play this,” he said. His voice was low, but there was something sharp beneath it. A dare. A demand.
You blinked at the sheet. It was unfamiliar — complex, full of unexpected pauses, chaotic chords, and moments of painful softness.
“Did you write this?” you asked cautiously.
His eyes didn’t flinch. “Play it. As is.”
You hesitated. “What even is this?”
He tilted his head slightly, his eyes shining with just enough vulnerability for  you believe him. “It’s how I feel.”
Your heart dropped a little.
It wasn’t just notes. It was his grief. His confusion. The storm beneath that polished surface.
You glanced at the sheet again. “No changes?”
“No changes.”
The piano waited, sleek and heavy like a secret. You sat slowly, eyes scanning the first few bars. It wasn’t easy. It wasn't pretty. It wasn’t supposed to be.
You exhaled.
Then you played.
The first few measures stuttered under your fingers, awkward and sharp. But then something shifted — the music pulled you in, unfamiliar yet familiar, like reading someone’s diary and realizing it’s written in your own handwriting.
Anger laced the rhythm. Grief haunted the rests. And in the middle of it all was longing — raw and so loud it nearly drowned you.
When you stopped, the silence hit like a wave. You didn’t dare look up.
But then Jaehyun spoke — quiet, almost gentle.
“You didn’t change a single note.”
You looked at him. His expression had softened, but barely.
“Neither did you,” you said softly.
A flicker of something passed through his eyes — pride? Sadness? Relief?
He nodded once, and this time, when he turned to leave, he paused at the door.
“Come back tomorrow.”
You didn’t answer. But he already knew you would.
THE NEXT DAY
The cramped practice room smelled faintly of old wood and cold metal. A step down from the hall — smaller, rougher — but more honest. The kind of space where truth had nowhere to hide.
The low hum of fluorescent lights buzzed overhead, casting long shadows on the dusty floor. You sat at the grand piano, Jaehyun’s sheet music in front of you — a different one from the night before. Your fingers hovered above the keys, eyes closed, breath held, as the final note died in the air.
Behind you, Jaehyun stood still — tall, silent, watching.
Then his voice sliced through the quiet. Smooth. Controlled. But heavy, like a cello bow drawn too tightly.
“Is that all you’ve got to give me?”
It wasn’t a question. It was a judgment.
You didn’t turn around. The words burned into your back.
“You play with no respect,” he continued. “You fumble around and play what you feel is right. Music is about structure. Discipline. Intent.”
You rose slowly, spine straightening, turning to face him. The air between you grew hotter — too close, too charged.
“And yet…” you said softly, your voice holding steel, “Beethoven was deaf.”
He blinked.
“He couldn’t hear a single note, but he composed music that made the world feel everything.”
You took a step closer, the distance shrinking. “I play by feel because music is meant to feel. It’s meant to speak the things we’re too afraid to say out loud.”
He scoffed — short, sharp, dismissive.
But you weren’t done.
“I feel sorry for you,” you whispered, your voice dipped in sorrow, not spite. “Your musicality must be like a sheet filled with long rests and pianissimo… so quiet, so careful, it forgets how to breathe.”
You turned back to the piano. Your fingers hovered, not yet touching, but longing.
“How can I play in a way that doesn’t speak to the audience?” “Music is memory. It’s future. It’s pain and love and grief — all tangled in the silence between notes.”
Your voice cracked slightly, a fracture in your otherwise defiant melody.
“We feel when the music is void. So how can I give them a pianissimo when what they need is a fortissimo?”
The air stilled. Heavy. A long silence. Four silent beats.
One. Two. Three. Four.
Then, Jaehyun’s voice struck, hard — sharp like staccato.
“You don’t decide what they need,” he snapped, eyes narrowing.
“Beethoven does. Chopin. Schumann.” “You didn’t write it. Play it as written.”
He stepped forward, shoulders tense, fists clenched.
“Your stubbornness is the reason you cannot play like you’re supposed to.”
His voice cracked — just a hairline fracture, but it was there. The first real break.
“All that bleeding,” he bit out, breathing shallow now, “makes it hard to see the notes.”
You froze.
His chest rose and fell faster. And just for a second — a sliver of time — you saw it.
His eyes glistened.
Not with anger.
But with grief.
Real. Raw. Human.
“Now sit,” he said, barely above a whisper, “and play it. As is.”
It wasn’t a shout. But it roared through the room louder than any crescendo.
And for that one fleeting moment — like a grace note buried in the melody — you saw what he’d tried so hard to bury:
He understood you. He was grieving, too. And somewhere along the way, he’d been taught that emotions had no place in the music. That only the notes mattered. Not the story. Not the ache. Not the fire building in his chest.
But you saw it now — loud and clear — A crescendo, rising. Raging. Waiting for someone to call it music.
The silence after his words lingered, draping itself over the room like one of the velvet curtains in the main hall.
Your hands clenched at your sides. The weight of his command hung heavy in your chest.
You sat down again, jaw tight. The same sheet music stared up at you — perfectly aligned notes that felt like shackles. You hated how beautiful it was. Hated how it demanded order when all you had left was chaos.
Then... you heard him move.
Soft footsteps on the old wood floor.
He didn't leave.
Jaehyun came around the bench — slowly, deliberately — and placed something on the music stand.
Another page. Another song.
His fingers lingered at the edge of the paper for a beat too long. You glanced up. He was already watching you.
Something swirling in his eyes,
Was that…desire?
What could he possibly want?
Waltz No. 2.
“Play this,” he said, low and breathless, like it had taken something out of him.
Your eyes widened just slightly. The piece was infamous. Beautiful. Torturous.
Without waiting for your response, he moved beside you and slid onto the bench — too close. The space between your bodies vanished like a held breath.
Your arm brushed his, and it was electricity — but no one flinched.
“Start with the left hand,” he murmured, his voice barely above a whisper, as if speaking any louder would break the spell. “I’ll take the right.”
The waltz began — slowly, cautiously — your fingers pressing the minor notes, his dancing on top with aching grace. The melody curled around the room, haunted and wistful, like a memory trying to return.
Your hands moved like shadows across the keys — almost touching, almost crossing.
But not yet.
You could feel him beside you. The heat radiating off his skin. The way he breathed like the music was the only thing keeping him alive.
And then...
His pinky grazed yours.
Barely a brush. But it sent a jolt through you — like the music had turned to fire.
He didn’t look at you.
He just played on, like nothing happened. But his playing changed — just slightly.
It grew heavier. Slower. Seductive. Like he was daring you to feel it too.
Your fingers stumbled for half a beat. He noticed. You knew he did.
Still, you didn’t stop.
You found the rhythm again — swaying in time with him, with the pulse of the song, with the growing storm between you.
Then his hand crossed over yours — reaching for the high notes.
His wrist brushed the back of your palm, deliberately slow. The friction seared.
And still, he didn’t look.
He didn't have to.
The air between you buzzed with the kind of tension that only silence and sound together could make. Like restraint holding back something wild.
You kept playing.
And then — he moved his hand beneath yours this time, supporting the chord as your fingers floated above his.
You felt his knuckles. Warm. Calloused. Real.
“Stop trying to outrun the song,” he said softly. “Let it catch you.”
Your breath hitched.
His hand lingered under yours, just long enough to make you forget what you were playing.
“Do you feel it now?” he asked softly, his breath tickling your ear.
You clenched your thighsand nodded, eyes still on the keys.
“I do.”
And when your pinky brushed his again — this time, you didn’t pull away.
The music slowed. Grew heavier. Every note was an inhale. Every rest, an exhale. And in the space between it all — where no sound lived — something bloomed.
Want. Restraint. Fear. Longing.
You didn’t speak.
Because the waltz said everything.
And somewhere between your fingers grazing and the swell of the final note — you realized:
Jaehyun hadn’t just come to play. He’d come to bleed, too.
Together.
You could see it clearly now.
He was caged.
He was messy.
And he was wounded.
Your hands were still resting together on the keys, breath shallow, hearts louder than the silence.
Jaehyun pulled away first — but not far.
He stood slowly, like something heavy was coming undone in him. His jaw flexed, the way it always did when he was trying to stay cold.
But he wasn’t cold anymore.
Not after that.
“I shouldn’t have said those things,” he murmured, eyes not quite meeting yours.
You didn’t answer.
He turned his back to you, fingers flexing at his sides like he didn’t know what to do with them now that they weren’t hiding him anymore.
“I…” His voice caught, like he hadn’t spoken a real feeling in years. “I was taught that if you let the music feel too much… it’ll destroy you.”
Your breath hitched — barely. But he heard it.
He kept going.
“My first teacher…” He laughed, hollow and without humor. “He believed expression was filth. That it distracted from purity.”
He looked down at his hands — beautiful, scarred hands.
“I used to think he was right. That control was everything. That perfection was the only thing worth reaching for.”
“and then I met your grandfather and…”
He finally looked at you.
“he showed me what it was like to be free again.”
His eyes pooled with unshed tears.
Tears of grief.
Of guilt.
“And then I heard  you playing after his burial…it sounded so much like him. And it made me angry.”
You stiffened, but he stepped closer, slowly.
“It made me angry because I remembered.”
His voice was raw now, stripped of all polish.
“I remembered what it felt like to love a piece. To lose yourself in it. To want to scream through the keys. To want to play until your fingers bled because it was the only way to get it all out.”
He was in front of you now. His hair slightly covering his eyes, cheeks flushed and lips slightly parted.
He was close.
So fucking close your skin felt hot.
You craved him— You knew you did.
He was close enough for his voice to be a vibration in your ribcage.
“I’m sorry,” he whispered.
Not just for the words. Not just for the coldness.
But for every time he tried to crush the thing that made you… you.
“For the first time in years,” he said, voice trembling, “I heard music again. Not notes. Not time signatures. Music.”
His hand lifted — hesitated — then brushed your cheek. Featherlight. Like he wasn’t sure he had permission to touch something so alive.
“You made me feel something I wasn’t ready for.”
A pause.
His voice dropped to almost nothing.
“And I think that terrifies me.”
The room was quiet. But not empty.
It was full of unsaid things. Of years lost. Of notes held too long and silences that finally cracked.
You could still feel the echo of the waltz between your ribs. You knew he could too.
And when his forehead rested lightly against yours — not a kiss, not yet — just the soft ache of closeness…You realized he wasn’t asking for forgiveness.
He was offering surrender.
“The way you played…It wasn’t perfect. It wasn’t clean. But it… ached in all the right places. I could feel the grief in the minor shifts. The joy in the accidentals. The love in the spaces you let breathe.”
His brows furrowed, as if he couldn’t believe what he was saying aloud.
“That kind of playing—what you did—it takes more courage than anything I’ve ever learned. And I was too much of a coward to say that.”
He looked down, then up again, slowly.
“I’m sorry, not just for the things I said in that room. I’m sorry for not respecting what he taught you. For thinking that kind of music was less than.”
His voice dropped to a whisper, barely hanging in the air between you.
“I think your grandfather would’ve been proud.”
You blinked — once, twice — but the sting was there.
And Jaehyun saw it.
He didn’t move closer this time. He let the silence settle, let your heart catch up.
But then, when your gaze didn’t waver… he did.
He reached out, carefully, fingers ghosting over yours on the piano — like he was asking to join your world, not take it.
And when your pinkies brushed — barely there, but electric — his voice came again.
“I don’t want to be the reason your music hesitates.”
Another beat.
“I want to learn how to feel again.”
His voice cracked like an old string pulled too tight.
“And if you’ll let me… I want to learn from you.”
You stared at him — this man made of marble and bruised melody — and for the first time, you saw the boy beneath the training.
The man who never got to cry when the music begged him to.
You took his fully in yours and gave a tight reassuring squeeze
“Okay”
LESSONS: FEELING IN MUSIC
Week One - Touch
He sat beside you stiffly, spine straight, jaw locked. His eyes kept flicking down to his hands like they were foreign to him. You watched the tension crawl across his shoulders — the way his fingers hovered just above the keys, twitching, uncertain. Like pressing a note might make something inside him snap.
“Don’t think,” you whispered. “Just play.”
His breath hitched. He glanced at you, wide-eyed — like he wanted to believe you, but didn’t know how.
“I don’t know how to not think.”
You placed your hand over his. His entire body stilled. Your touch was soft — but it landed like lightning. His throat bobbed as he swallowed, hard.
“Then stop trying to get it right. Start trying to feel it.”
You guided his hand down, gently. His fingers pressed the chord, trembling slightly beneath yours.
“You’re trembling,” you said softly.
He didn’t meet your eyes.
“I’m not used to this,” he breathed, voice rough.
You tilted your head.
“To being… touched like this.”
There it was — vulnerability cracked open on his face. His brows drew in, lashes fluttering once before he looked at you with an expression that sat somewhere between awe and fear.
You smiled gently. Too gently.
“Like what?”
A muscle in his jaw twitched.
“Like you want me to unravel.”
Week Two - Language of the Hands
You stood behind him now, your presence warm against his back. Your fingers rested lightly on his shoulders — grounding, not gripping. And still — he flinched. Shoulders tensed. Breath caught.
“Relax.”
“I can’t,” he said, barely above a whisper.
His voice trembled — not from fear, but restraint. Like he knew that if he let go even an inch, everything would spill.
So you let your hands drift downward. Slowly. Deliberately. Over his arms. Over every ridge of muscle that tightened beneath your fingers. He inhaled sharply through his nose — a quiet sound, but telling.
Then you leaned in, your lips barely grazing the shell of his ear.
“You don’t have to earn softness. Just accept it.”
He shuddered. Not from cold. From you.
His eyes squeezed shut, expression flickering into something raw.
“You do that on purpose,” he muttered, jaw clenched.
“What?”
He turned just enough for you to see his face in profile — the flush creeping up his neck, the storm in his eyes.
“Say things like that. Touch me like that. And then act like you didn’t just ruin me.”
 Week Three - Eye Contact
You were across the room demonstrating something — posture, maybe. Dynamics. You weren’t even playing anything difficult.
But when you glanced back—
He wasn’t watching your hands.
His eyes were locked on your mouth. His lips parted, slightly, like the sight alone had undone him.
“What?”
He blinked. Slow. Like he hadn’t even realized he’d been caught.
And then — a faint, knowing smirk.
“You teach like you kiss.”
You froze mid-gesture. The corner of your mouth twitched upward in disbelief.
“Excuse me?”
His gaze dropped to your mouth again — deliberately.
“With intention,” he said. “But like you don’t even realize it’s seductive.”
You dropped a chord. He chuckled — low, amused, infatuated.
 Month Two - Composition and Confession
He handed you the sheet. His fingers brushed yours, and you felt the heat from his skin even after he pulled away. You skimmed the notes. Your brows lifted.
“You wrote this?” you asked, tone soft.
He nodded once, but didn’t speak.
“It sounds… alive.”
Still, silence.
You looked up.
He was already looking at you — not nervous, but exposed. Like he was waiting for you to see him between the lines.
“Did you write it thinking of something?” you asked.
His throat moved. He clenched his jaw before answering.
“Someone.”
You blinked.
Then carefully, you pressed your fingers to the keys. The melody bloomed into the air — vulnerable, tender, aching.
And when you glanced up mid-phrase — he was watching you with his whole chest open. Eyes wide. Hands in his lap. Breathing shallow.
“Is this how you see me?”
His voice broke when he answered.
“No,” he said. “That’s how you make me feel.”
Month Three — Practicing in the Dark
The room was quiet — save for the faint hum of city noise outside and the distant ticking of the wall clock. The glow from the lamp painted the walls in soft gold. Shadows flickered like breath.
Your knees brushed. Neither of you moved.
He leaned forward to turn the page, and your hands collided.
He didn’t pull away.
“You ruin me a little more every time you touch the keys.”
You turned your head slowly.
He was already watching you.
His eyes were shadowed, not just by the low lamplight, but by something deeper. Something breaking. Something baring its teeth and begging.
“I want to know what your music would sound like,” he murmured, voice frayed at the edges, “if you played it for me. Just me. Like I was your secret.”
Your breath stilled in your throat.
You tried to speak, but all you managed was a dry whisper. “Why?”
He leaned closer
So close his words trembled against your lips like a prayer he was too afraid to finish.
“Because I think…” He swallowed. “I think I’d finally understand how love sounds.”
You blinked. “W-what?”
He didn’t laugh. Didn’t smirk. Just looked at you like he was standing on the edge of something high and holy.
“I want you,” he said, and it wasn’t a confession… it was a surrender.
“Not just the way you play. Not just the way you look at me when I finally get it right.”
His voice cracked and he didn’t try to hide it.
“I want every version of you. Every messy, brilliant, soft, cruel, breathtaking part.”
He looked down, like the words were too heavy to carry while meeting your eyes.
Then, barely above a whisper
“Please…” His hand hovered near yours, not touching. “Use me however you want. Ruin me. Teach me. Just… need me. Like I need you.”
You stared at him, stunned.
The air between you was thick… like if you moved too fast, you’d tear straight through the tension and unravel both of you.
Exposing you and how you really felt about him.
He’d said it.
Not just the words, but everything underneath them.
The need.
 The ache.
The silent confession he’d been wearing like a second skin since the first time you touched his hand on the keys.
And you couldn’t look away.
His eyes were still cast down, like he regretted giving himself away. Like he was bracing for rejection.
you couldn’t let him sit in that.
Not when you felt it too.
Even if it meant he was going to find about the times you climaxed thinking of how his fingers would feel inside you.
How he would feel inside you.
You couldn’t just sit and watch him like this…
Not when you’d been pretending it was just practice when your hands lingered too long, when your voice dipped low, when your eyes met his and stayed there.
You stood slowly.
His gaze flicked up — hopeful, hesitant.
You walked to the piano, heart hammering, then looked over your shoulder.
“Come here,” you whispered desperately
He didn’t move at first, just stared like he didn’t trust what he heard.
“I want to show you,” you said again, quieter this time. “How you make me feel.”
That made him rise…slow, reverent — like he was walking toward a chapel instead of a girl who made his hands shake just by speaking.
You turned away from him, not because you were unsure — but because you felt everything too much. His gaze. His nearness. The promise you were about to make with no sheet music in front of you.
You slid onto the top of the piano, legs crossed delicately at the ankles, dress slipping up as you shifted — not indecent, not bold — but intentional. A silent statement: look at me. really look.
Your hands trembled slightly as they came to rest on your lap.
You still didn’t look at him.
Couldn’t.
The air was molasses — thick, slow, heavy with things unsaid.
You heard the way his breath hitched.
“Why can’t you look at me?” he asked, voice rough and strained, like he knew what was about to happen.
“Because if I do,” you whispered, “I’ll forget how to speak in music. And that’s the only language I’m brave in right now.”
A pause.
Then his steps, soft, but as he came closer you realize they were also sure.
You felt his fingers brush your ankle. Just a ghost of a touch. Reverent. Worshipful.
Your breath stuttered.
“Then play,” he murmured, eyes now level with yours, “and let me hear what you can’t say, baby.”
And you did.
Not with the piano.
But with the way your knees parted — just enough for him to step into the space that had always belonged to him.
The way your trembling fingers found his chest — the place where sound lived when he didn’t know how to speak.
A composition of silence.
A symphony of skin and want and reverence.
And when your eyes met his — wide, glassy, burning with something too big for language — he looked at you like a man who had just found God in a song he never knew he needed.
Slowly, your hand reached for his.
Guided it.
Brought it to the place where your heart was beating the loudest…not in your chest, but between your hips.
“Feel it,” you breathed, voice breaking. “Feel what you do to me.”
His fingers trembled.
So did yours.
“I don’t just want you, Jae.” Your voice cracked like a confession in a church pew. “I crave you.”
You blinked, and tears clung to your lashes.
Because you’d never said anything more honest in your life.
He leaned in closer as his fingers circled your clothed clit painfully slow
He didn’t take his eyes away from your face…not even when you started to move your hips in a way to give you more pleasure.
It was like he wanted this specific version of you permanently painted in the forefront and back of his mind.
Eyes memorizing every curve, scar and feature of your face.
The way our lips parted as you let out short gasps and whines
The quiet “Please” that left you mouth more than once
And he definitely didn’t look away when you took his other scarred hand and kissed his scars.
His eyes widened a fraction…like he wanted to see all of you before you disappeared
Poor thing…
You weren’t going anywhere…not anymore
You were done running.
You saw the moment his eyes flicked to something more darker
Sinister almost…
You swirled your tongue around his finger painting it with your saliva
Your licked right down to the web of his fingers before you flattened your tongue licking all the way back up to his finger tip.
You  rubbed his finger all over you lips and chin.
He quickly grabbed your chin hooking his wet index under and pressing his thumb against your bottom lip
Forcing you to really look at him
“You’re playing a very dangerous fucking chord Y/n”  his voice ripped from his chest
Brutish
animalistic
His breath ghosted your lips — close enough to taste, far enough to ache.
You could feel the war in him. The pull. The restraint. The part of him that wanted to devour you... and the part that refused to touch what he didn’t think he deserved.
So you leaned in first.
Not a kiss.
Just a brush.
Your nose to his. Your lips barely grazing — just enough to feel how soft his were.
Is it possible to be addicted to something you never had?
He exhaled like you’d punched the air out of him. A shaky, broken sound.
“Don’t,” he begged, voice wrecked. “Don’t kiss me unless you mean it.”
You pulled back just enough to meet his eyes — and God, he looked destroyed. Brows drawn. Lips parted. Eyes glassy, like he was holding back an ocean.
You wanted to drown in it.
“I do,” you whispered. “I’ve never meant anything more.”
And then you kissed him.
Fully.
Softly.
Like you weren’t afraid of his edges.
His hand shot to your waist — not possessive, just desperate — as if he needed to hold you there or he’d fall. His other hand cradled the back of your head, fingers tangling in your hair like it was instinct.
He kissed you like a secret he’d kept his whole life.
Like he was scared you’d disappear if he opened his eyes.
You felt it in every tremble of his mouth,
Every exhale into your skin Every barely-there whimper he didn’t mean to make.
And when he finally pulled back, breathless, lips swollen and pink from the pressure, his forehead dropped to yours again.
Eyes still closed.
“You feel like music,” he rasped. “And I’ve been deaf my whole damn life.”
Desperate. Consuming. Worshipful.
He kissed like the hunger had been building for weeks and this was his first taste of relief. Except… it wasn’t relief. It was ignition. A match to every unspoken need that had ever passed between you.
You felt it in your spine.
The fire.
Like a burning Symphony
The kiss wasn’t perfect. It was too open, too wet, too full of gasped breaths and shaken moans. But God, it was real.
“You don’t get it, do you?”
You blinked, dazed, flushed. “What?”
His eyes were shining — not with tears, but with something deeper. A soul cracked open.
“You’ve already ruined me for anything and anyone else.”
He choked on his breath. One hand gripped your waist. The other cradled your jaw like it was the only thing tethering him to earth.
“And I let you in. I wanted you to fucking wreck me…Because for the first time in my life, breaking doesn’t feel like the end.”
You inhaled sharply, heart pounding like a warning you were ready to ignore.
“It feels like becoming.”
Your mouth parted — a whimper barely forming.
He leaned closer.
“So let me become yours.” “Let me fall apart in your hands, and I swear—” “I’ll spend the rest of my life learning how to make you feel wanted.”
His lips brushed yours again, softer this time. Torturous.
“Say yes,” he whispered. “Say yes, and I’ll worship every inch of you like you’re the only thing that’s ever saved me.”
Yes.
But you didn’t just want to say it
You wanted to scream it
To breathe it
To become it
You wanted him to wreck you. To pull you apart and break you into pieces
You wanted him to use you as the ink to write his new piece.
You wanted him to touch you like you were fragile, then love you like you’d be the easiest thing to break again.
You didn’t want his tenderness...not now
You wanted truth.
All of it.
His hands. His mouth. His heart. His need
You wanted him to transform you.
Your hands trembled as they slid down his chest, fisting in the fabric of his  shirt like you
Could anchor yourself to the heat of him.
“Please…” Your voice craked
Not for fear.
From need
“Please don’t hold back.”
He stilled.
Brows drawn tight. Jaw clenched so hard you hear the pressure an building crescendo in his silence. His eyes searched yours, as if he was waiting for some signal- some final permission to let go of the restraint that chained him.
You leaned in, lips brushing the shell of his ear, and whispered like a vow
“I want you to ruin me.”
His breath hitched
A gasp disguised as a growl.
“I want you to use me. However you need, however you ache to.”
You pulled back just enough to look at him
“I don’t want soft.”
“I don’t want careful.”
A tear spilled over, warm and desperate as it slipped down your cheek.
“I want to feel everything you’ve been holding back.”
Your hands guided his to your waist.
“I want to feel how much you’ve wanted me.”
“I want you to lose yourself in me.”
You exhaled, trembling.
“Please…let me be the thing that unravels you.”
That undid him.
Because that was the truth wasn’t it?
You wanted the storm inside him. The part he tried to cage. The part that wanted to leave bruises in the shape of worship.
“Touch me like I’m the only thing that’s ever made you feel alive.”
You watched his pupils blow wide—lust, reverence, wreckage.
And then, in a voice that sounded more like a promise than a plea:
“Break me, Jae.”
In a flash he pushed to you down to lay you flat on top of the piano.
Feet still dangling at the end…with him standing in between
In slow torturous movements he lowered his body and knelt between your legs
You felt his hot breath on your inner thighs.
He knelt between your thighs like a sinner before an altar — except this time, you were the god he worshipped.
His breath kissed your skin, hot and reverent, leaving goosebumps. His hands slid up the backs of your thighs, slow, certain, like he’d imagined this a thousand times and didn’t rush now that it was real.
You whimpered — not from impatience, but from the unbearable pressure of being seen.
He looked up at you.
Not just your body. You.
And what you saw in his eyes nearly unravelled you:
Hunger. Need. A kind of awe that felt like it could swallow you whole.
“You really want to be the thing that breaks me?” he rasped, voice shredded by emotion. “Because that’s what this is, isn’t it?”
You nodded, lips parted, barely breathing.
He pressed his forehead to your stomach. Exhaled like he was praying. Or trying not to fall apart.
“Then let me fall apart in your hands,” he murmured. “Let me give you everything. All of me.”
You reached for him, shaking, desperate.
“Then take it,” you whispered. “Take all of me.”
He hooked his fingers on the waistband of your panties and pulled them down.
“Keep your legs open and your eyes on me.” Simple instructions that you knew would be hard to follow.
Wasting no time his mouth was on you, licking and sucking where he needed to
Your hand gripped his hair pulling and tugging causing his to moan and groan.
You felt dazed.
Your eyes rolling to the back of your head.
“Fuck Jae” You bawled--tears freely running down your cheeks
His hands hooked under your thighs and dragged you closer, even as your body instinctively tried to flee the overwhelming pleasure.
He detached his lips form you momentarily and looked up.
Eyes wild , hair tussled and lips glistening.
“Don’t fucking move” His eyes pierced yours.
You let out a breathy cry.
“Do you fucking hear me y/n? don’t fucking move”
You simply nodded. Too dizzy to use your voice.
Satisfied with your answer he continued to devour you
Piece by fucking piece
But even after you came
Even after you kept your eyes on him and your legs open-- though difficult
Even after your juices were dripping of the edge of the piano onto the keys
Even after your pussy was too sensitive and swollen , he still wasn’t satsifed.
“Jae, please…can’t… take anymore” you could barley speak above a whisper,
Your throat was raw from the constant screaming he caused.
“I know you’re tired baby but I’m not done” His voice was so gentle as if he was sympathizing with you. But his eyes didn’t dim a bit.
Still dark
Still needing
Still hungry.
Slowly, he stood and helped you sit up. His hand found your cheek, stroking it with a tenderness that made you lean into his touch. Your eyes fluttered shut, breath catching — you were exactly where you wanted to be.
Then you felt it. The warmth of his lips leaving soft, reverent kisses — from your forehead, to your nose, down to your chin. Each one a vow, a worship, a claim.
His voice came next, low and sinful against your ear.
“How many do you think you can take?”
You kept your eyes closed, body humming, head spinning. “…Huh?” you breathed, already half undone.
Suddenly his hand gripped your neck slightly choking you
“How many more orgasms can you give me baby?”
Your eyes popped open at the change in his tone. From gentle… to commanding. From worship… to something animalistic. Something feral.
His grip tightened just enough to make your breath hitch. He leaned in, lips brushing your jaw as he spoke.
“You begged me to ruin you,” he rasped. His voice was dark, low, wrecked with restraint. “So tell me—how far are you willing to break for me?”
Your lips parted, but no words came out—just a desperate, choked sound that only made him smirk. A sound that told him everything he needed to know.
“You want my tenderness?” He dragged his thumb across your bottom lip. “Or do you want to feel what it’s like when I lose control?”
You whimpered.
“I’ll give you both,” he whispered like a vow. “But once I start—there’s no going back.”
His unoccupied hand massages your breast
“how many more”
Your eyes roll and you moan as he pinches your nipple
“Y/N!” His voice snaps you out of your trance
“Open your fucking mouth and answer me”
Your breath ragged “I—I’m not sure.”
His hand left your breast and travelled downward to your still swollen and sensitive pussy
Fingers dancing around your entrance
He leaned towards your lips and whispered
“Then let’s find out”
In one swift motion two of his fingers push into you at an achingly slow pace
Your hips buck trying to draw more pleasure from him
“More” you whimpered
You knew your body was crashing but you were greedy.
So fucking greedy
His fingers start to over at a faster pace curling just right making you feel like falling
“Fuckkk” Jaehyun moaned looking down at his fingers.
You were dripping around them, slick coating his fingers and falling in soft drops onto the floor.
“You’re fucking perfect” He says in admiration
His eyes were on you now, still hungry but glistening with so much awe it made you feel overwhelmed
Everything felt heightened
And he still didn’t let up
Fingers still drawing all he can out of you
“Jae, I’m gonna cum” you gripped his arm trying to slow his pace
“Cum then” he stilled pummelled his finger into you over and over
You grabbed his shoulders and pulled him into you
“Slow downnn” you begged as hot tears streamed down your cheeks
“One more” He says
“Just one more baby…then I can fuck you to sleep” He looks up at you and smiles, popping his dimple.
 You let out a broken, shameless moan—raw, wrecked, and real
“Jae! Pleaseee” You moan
Your scream split the air—loud enough to leave your ears ringing, your body shaking under the force of it
“Let it all go baby”
And you did.
All over his hand and shirt…
All over the sheets of music
All over the fucking piano
Your chest heaved as you took quick breaths
Slowly Jaehyun pulls his fingers out of you making you flinch at the loss of contact
He bites his lip as he stares at you raising his wet fingers to your mouth
“Open up for me”
You open your mouth and wait
Shockingly, he does something unexpected
Something that makes you feel feral
He spat into your waiting mouth, watching with dark hunger as you took it—no hesitation, no shame.
“Swallow” he says
And you did. Licking your lips after.
He smiles revealing his dimple.
You could tell he liked what he told you…no questions asked.
“Good fucking girl” he praises.
“Now get on your knees for me baby.”

MINORS GO AWAY
Pairing: Pianist!Jaehyun x reader
Synopsis: quiet, haunting, and dangerously talented. a man carved from silence and precision. Jeong Jaehyun, the world-renowned pianist, lived by structure. Lived by discipline.
loud in all the ways that mattered. She played like she was trying to bleed. A mess of passion, pain, and poetry. No titles. No training. Just the ache of a girl who used music to escape. To survive.
They were a slow-burning harmony of restraint and desire, grasping onto the black and white keys...trying not to unravel. Every note pulled them closer and closer until they reached their climax. The crescendo.
Word count: 8.5k
WARNING: Smut, angst, yearning, mentions of abuse and scars, mentions of death and grief, choking, spitting, hair pulling, he eats her out on top of the piano, crying, begging, literal definition of until the paint starts to peel off the wall.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This work contains guide songs. Basically, songs I use to set the tone for a scene. You don't have to listen to them, but the experience would definitely be better if you listen as you read for each specific part. Enjoy!!! @andysorbit @sharonxdevi @calibabii21
Tumblr media
A piano is an extension of the pianist.How you play it reflects how you feel about your music and the relationship you have with it.
Your grandfather was a talent his generation both mocked and adored. They praised him for his brilliance but laughed at his outlandish way of playing.
A sudden pianissimo where it didn’t belong. A staccato attack on notes meant to be tied. He had a habit of doing things suddenly. He liked the attention. He liked the shock.
So imagine no one’s surprise when He suddenly died at his old piano. Well… no one’s but yours.
A stress-induced heart attack, the doctors had said.
“Hmph,” you huffed, as tears stung the back of your eyes. Of course the only family you ever truly had would go out like that. And deep down, you knew… he wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.
He died doing what he loved—Playing. Composing. Being unapologetically himself.
His funeral was today
And you couldn’t even bring yourself to sit at the church piano when the priest asked you to.
But here you stood now, alone in his studio. Staring at the last piece he played before he died.
Beethoven’s Für Elise.
A lump formed in your throat. He hated that piece. But you loved it.
“You’re a child prodigy, sweetheart!” he’d always say. Lies. At seven, you were a terrible player. But he’d clap like you’d just performed at Carnegie Hall.
It was the first piece you ever played together.
“Two on a bench, one heart between the notes.” He’d say.
You ran your hand along the worn wood of the piano. Something heavy settled in your stomach.
You never handled strong emotions well.
“Most gifted people don’t.”  His eyes would twinkle with understanding.
But now, you took a seat at the bench and inhaled.
“Go on, sweetheart. You can do it,” he’d whisper every time you sat down to play something new.
Your fingers twitched. Für Elise stared back at you. The memory of his voice echoed:
“It doesn’t matter if the piece is happy, sweetheart. If you play it with sadness, people will feel it. It’s not about the notes. It’s about what you pour into them. Feel it. Then play it.”
So what were you feeling?
Grief. Sadness. Anger. Loneliness. Desperation.
Could Für Elise carry all that?
You didn’t know.
But your fingers moved on their own. And for the first time in almost two months…you let the first tear fall.
It hurt. it hurt so fucking bad.
He was gone. The only one who ever truly cared for you… was gone. And your only release? The music that killed him.
“I assume you’re the granddaughter he liked to brag about?”
You whipped around at the sound of a new voice. You hadn’t even realized someone else was in the room.
You didn’t trust your voice, so you just nodded.
Standing there was a tall, posh-looking man— Black turtleneck, black slacks, and leather shoes. Too polished for a place this sacred and raw.
“I’m Jaehyun, a friend of your grandfather” he stretched his hand offering a handshake
You stood up form the bench and shook his hand
“I know who you are” Your voice came out scratchy and strained.
Everyone who was interested in classical music and pianos knew who The Jeong Jaehyun was.
He was an actual child prodigy who actually played at Carnegie hall.
His name was worth more than gold in the industry.
But-
“Good. I heard your playing out there, and I know it is not the most appropriate time to say this, but your attempt at Für Elise was horrible.”
-Everyone also knew he was a conceited little prick.
Too prim and far too proper.
Which is why it surprised you when he said He was a ‘friend’ of your grandfather.
“I’m not a professional”  You informed him
He nodded as if grateful that you really weren’t
“Grandpa taught me how to play”
He paused for a moment and his gaze shifted to the piano behind you.
He clenched his jaw and whispered “I can tell”
But it wasn’t in a rude tone…it sounded almost
Envious.
A Few Months Later
Grief had stopped screaming.
It just sat with you now—quiet and heavy—like a coat you didn’t take off, even in the heat.
You didn’t go back to the piano much.
Not because you didn’t want to.
But because it still smelled like him. Sounded like him. It felt like holding hands with a ghost.
You stood in front of your mirror, smoothing out your dress and releasing a big breath.
Your friend’s voice had been light when she invited you.
“It’s just a community fundraiser. Small, casual. They’ll have music, snacks, people who don’t take themselves too seriously.”
You almost said no. But then she added:
“They’re naming the practice room after your grandpa.”
So you said yes. For him. Because he would’ve liked that.
The room was cramped but warm. People laughed, bumped shoulders, sipped boxed juice and clapped after every shaky performance.
 The piano was far too close to the speakers and had three sticky keys.
It was perfect.
You stood near the back, arms folded, letting the noise wrap around your silence.
“We’ve got a final performance tonight,” the MC said, with a lilt of surprise. “Please welcome… Jeong Jaehyun?”
Your blood ran cold.
You looked up.
And there he was.
Still pristine. Still poised. Still unreadable.
His eyes met yours across the room. Just once.
No smile. No nod. Just that silent look that said I remember you.
He sat.
You didn’t breathe.
His fingers moved like water—every note clean, every phrase controlled.
And then you recognized it.
Your grandfather’s piece.
Your lungs tightened.
It was the one he never finished. The one he used to hum around the house with a pencil between his teeth. The one he said would never be “perfect,” and didn’t need to be.
But Jaehyun’s version… was perfect.
Painfully so.
Polished into something unrecognizable. All the grief sanded away.
It was beautiful. But it wasn’t your grandfather.
It wasn’t messy. It didn’t stumble. It didn’t cry.
You swallowed around the lump in your throat. The ache came rushing back, not loud, but raw.
Your fingers twitched. You could almost hear your grandfather’s voice:
“Feel it first, sweetheart. Then play it.”
But Jaehyun hadn’t felt it.
He had played it like it was a performance.
Not a memory.
When he finished, the crowd clapped softly. Grateful. Polite.
You didn’t move.
He looked at you again.
Longer this time.
There was something in his eyes that hadn’t been there before.
Not regret. Not pride.
Just… silence.
Almost like he knew he’d played it wrong.
Not technically, But emotionally.
And that was worse.
Jaehyun rose smoothly from the piano bench, his expression unreadable as he nodded once toward the crowd. No flourish, no bow…just quiet, controlled grace. He disappeared backstage before anyone could ask for an encore.
You stood frozen for a moment, chest tight, eyes burning.
How could he play it so… pristine? So distant? Like it was just another song to master, not a heart laid bare?
Your friends approached softly, sensing the storm behind your silence.
“You okay?” Joy asked gently.
You forced a smile, nodding as you wrapped your arms around yourself.
“I’m gonna get some fresh air,” you said quietly.
“if you don’t see me come back, I’m gone”
They nodded, understanding.
You said your goodbyes, voice steady but your mind racing with a tangle of grief and anger.
Walking out of the room, the weight of the music pressed down on you—beautiful, but empty.
Outside, the night air hit your face.
You breathed it in.
You didn’t know when the grief would loosen its grip. But tonight… tonight it was louder than ever.
Jaehyun stepped into the night, his movements measured, almost detached. He saw you standing there, tense and tight.
He stopped a few feet away. His voice was low, clipped. “You’re angry.”
You didn’t turn. “Why do you play it like that? So perfect. So cold.”
He said nothing for a beat. Then, without looking at you, “Because that’s how it’s done.”
Your voice rose, sharp with grief and rage. “It’s not just about the music. It’s about him. About what he meant.”
Jaehyun’s jaw tightened. His eyes, dark and unreadable, flicked toward you for a moment — no warmth, no softness. “I’m not here to comfort you.”
You finally faced him, bitterness raw. “Then why’re you here?”
“Because I feel like I need to be.” His tone was flat, dismissive. “I’m not here to play for your feelings.”
You clenched your fists, pain and envy mixing in your chest. “I’m starting to hate you.”
He gave a short, humourless laugh. “Good.”
Then, without another word, he turned and walked away, leaving the cold night and your anger swirling behind him.
TWO WEEKS LATER
One of the scariest things about being a celebrity was that people always kept tabs on you. Your meals, your latest purchases, your favourite stores... even your current location.
“OMG!! I just saw Jaehyun entering Smith’s Hall… he must be practicing for a concert or something 😭😭😭” — Twitter user @yuno_wifey, 12 minutes ago
You hadn’t meant to care. But something about the way he played music rubbed you the wrong way.
Too perfect, too calculated. It didn’t sit right with you.
So here you were, standing in front of Smith’s Hall, determined to figure out the truth. Because there was no way in hell he’d had a real friendship with your grandfather. Not with the way he played.
You stepped through the massive double doors and froze. It smelled like polished wood and silence — heavy, suffocating. It didn’t feel like a space made for passion or practice. It felt like a performance prison.
The velvet chairs and glossy décor practically screamed no mistakes and no funny business.
“Grandpa would’ve hated this,” you muttered.
“He did.” The voice cut through the quiet, sharp and unmistakable.
You turned — and there he was. Jaehyun. The man claiming to be your grandfather’s friend.
He looked at you for a long moment. “How did you know I was here?”
He wasn’t surprised you were here.
Like he’d been waiting for you to show up.
How odd.
“Twitter,” you said simply.
He gave a small nod — and in true Jaehyun fashion, just turned and walked into a smaller room off to the side.
Naturally, you followed. Why? Because you needed to know. Something.
The room was small and stripped of pretense — cold, but more real than the grand hall. It suited him more than the main stage ever could.
You lingered in the doorway. “I have a question for you.”
He didn’t respond. So you asked it anyway.
“Why do you even play?”
The door closed softly behind you.
Jaehyun sat at the grand piano, back to you, fingers lightly resting on the keys, his posture infuriatingly perfect.
For weeks, ever since he played your grandfather’s piece with that cold, surgical precision, you hadn’t been able to stop thinking about him. About the way his music felt like a fortress. And what it would mean if someone broke through.
“Let me play for you,” you said. Quiet. Steady. But your heart pounded hard.
Still, he didn’t turn. Just the faint shift of his clothes — a barely-there movement.
You stepped closer. “I want to show you how it feels. The way I feel.”
Nothing.
But you still moved towards him.
You sat beside him. The bench was cold. He was close — closer than you expected — and his cologne lingered in the air between you. You could feel his attention, even if he wouldn’t meet your eyes.
You placed your fingers on the keys. They trembled.
Then, slowly, painfully, you began to play.
It wasn’t smooth. You cracked, faltered, stumbled. But this wasn’t about perfection. It was about everything inside you that hurt and screamed and longed.
The tension in the room grew thick, electric. Jaehyun’s hands twitched. His jaw clenched.
Then, for the briefest moment, his eyes flicked toward you — sharp, unreadable. You caught it. Or maybe you imagined it.
Still, you played on. Grief. Anger. Yearning. You poured it all into the notes.
When you finally stopped, the silence was deafening.
He stood and moved behind you.
Your breath hitched.
He didn’t say a word. But as he walked away, something shifted.
Like gravity had changed. Like he’d noticed.
Like he saw you.
“Well then…”
You stood, brushing invisible dust from your jeans, the ache in your chest blooming wider now that it was quiet again. The room, dim and cold, suddenly felt too still.
You turned toward the door, ready to leave it all behind — him, the questions, the music that wouldn’t stop following you.
But then you heard it. Footsteps.
Slow. Deliberate.
You froze.
Jaehyun stepped back into the room, his expression unreadable, but his hand — his hand clutched a sheet of music, crisp and marked with notes like scars.
He didn’t speak right away. Just walked past you, calm and silent, and set the paper on the music stand.
Then he turned to you, eyes meeting yours. For once, he didn’t look through you — he looked at you.
“Play this,” he said. His voice was low, but there was something sharp beneath it. A dare. A demand.
You blinked at the sheet. It was unfamiliar — complex, full of unexpected pauses, chaotic chords, and moments of painful softness.
“Did you write this?” you asked cautiously.
His eyes didn’t flinch. “Play it. As is.”
You hesitated. “What even is this?”
He tilted his head slightly, his eyes shining with just enough vulnerability for  you believe him. “It’s how I feel.”
Your heart dropped a little.
It wasn’t just notes. It was his grief. His confusion. The storm beneath that polished surface.
You glanced at the sheet again. “No changes?”
“No changes.”
The piano waited, sleek and heavy like a secret. You sat slowly, eyes scanning the first few bars. It wasn’t easy. It wasn't pretty. It wasn’t supposed to be.
You exhaled.
Then you played.
The first few measures stuttered under your fingers, awkward and sharp. But then something shifted — the music pulled you in, unfamiliar yet familiar, like reading someone’s diary and realizing it’s written in your own handwriting.
Anger laced the rhythm. Grief haunted the rests. And in the middle of it all was longing — raw and so loud it nearly drowned you.
When you stopped, the silence hit like a wave. You didn’t dare look up.
But then Jaehyun spoke — quiet, almost gentle.
“You didn’t change a single note.”
You looked at him. His expression had softened, but barely.
“Neither did you,” you said softly.
A flicker of something passed through his eyes — pride? Sadness? Relief?
He nodded once, and this time, when he turned to leave, he paused at the door.
“Come back tomorrow.”
You didn’t answer. But he already knew you would.
THE NEXT DAY
The cramped practice room smelled faintly of old wood and cold metal. A step down from the hall — smaller, rougher — but more honest. The kind of space where truth had nowhere to hide.
The low hum of fluorescent lights buzzed overhead, casting long shadows on the dusty floor. You sat at the grand piano, Jaehyun’s sheet music in front of you — a different one from the night before. Your fingers hovered above the keys, eyes closed, breath held, as the final note died in the air.
Behind you, Jaehyun stood still — tall, silent, watching.
Then his voice sliced through the quiet. Smooth. Controlled. But heavy, like a cello bow drawn too tightly.
“Is that all you’ve got to give me?”
It wasn’t a question. It was a judgment.
You didn’t turn around. The words burned into your back.
“You play with no respect,” he continued. “You fumble around and play what you feel is right. Music is about structure. Discipline. Intent.”
You rose slowly, spine straightening, turning to face him. The air between you grew hotter — too close, too charged.
“And yet…” you said softly, your voice holding steel, “Beethoven was deaf.”
He blinked.
“He couldn’t hear a single note, but he composed music that made the world feel everything.”
You took a step closer, the distance shrinking. “I play by feel because music is meant to feel. It’s meant to speak the things we’re too afraid to say out loud.”
He scoffed — short, sharp, dismissive.
But you weren’t done.
“I feel sorry for you,” you whispered, your voice dipped in sorrow, not spite. “Your musicality must be like a sheet filled with long rests and pianissimo… so quiet, so careful, it forgets how to breathe.”
You turned back to the piano. Your fingers hovered, not yet touching, but longing.
“How can I play in a way that doesn’t speak to the audience?” “Music is memory. It’s future. It’s pain and love and grief — all tangled in the silence between notes.”
Your voice cracked slightly, a fracture in your otherwise defiant melody.
“We feel when the music is void. So how can I give them a pianissimo when what they need is a fortissimo?”
The air stilled. Heavy. A long silence. Four silent beats.
One. Two. Three. Four.
Then, Jaehyun’s voice struck, hard — sharp like staccato.
“You don’t decide what they need,” he snapped, eyes narrowing.
“Beethoven does. Chopin. Schumann.” “You didn’t write it. Play it as written.”
He stepped forward, shoulders tense, fists clenched.
“Your stubbornness is the reason you cannot play like you’re supposed to.”
His voice cracked — just a hairline fracture, but it was there. The first real break.
“All that bleeding,” he bit out, breathing shallow now, “makes it hard to see the notes.”
You froze.
His chest rose and fell faster. And just for a second — a sliver of time — you saw it.
His eyes glistened.
Not with anger.
But with grief.
Real. Raw. Human.
“Now sit,” he said, barely above a whisper, “and play it. As is.”
It wasn’t a shout. But it roared through the room louder than any crescendo.
And for that one fleeting moment — like a grace note buried in the melody — you saw what he’d tried so hard to bury:
He understood you. He was grieving, too. And somewhere along the way, he’d been taught that emotions had no place in the music. That only the notes mattered. Not the story. Not the ache. Not the fire building in his chest.
But you saw it now — loud and clear — A crescendo, rising. Raging. Waiting for someone to call it music.
The silence after his words lingered, draping itself over the room like one of the velvet curtains in the main hall.
Your hands clenched at your sides. The weight of his command hung heavy in your chest.
You sat down again, jaw tight. The same sheet music stared up at you — perfectly aligned notes that felt like shackles. You hated how beautiful it was. Hated how it demanded order when all you had left was chaos.
Then... you heard him move.
Soft footsteps on the old wood floor.
He didn't leave.
Jaehyun came around the bench — slowly, deliberately — and placed something on the music stand.
Another page. Another song.
His fingers lingered at the edge of the paper for a beat too long. You glanced up. He was already watching you.
Something swirling in his eyes,
Was that…desire?
What could he possibly want?
Waltz No. 2.
“Play this,” he said, low and breathless, like it had taken something out of him.
Your eyes widened just slightly. The piece was infamous. Beautiful. Torturous.
Without waiting for your response, he moved beside you and slid onto the bench — too close. The space between your bodies vanished like a held breath.
Your arm brushed his, and it was electricity — but no one flinched.
“Start with the left hand,” he murmured, his voice barely above a whisper, as if speaking any louder would break the spell. “I’ll take the right.”
The waltz began — slowly, cautiously — your fingers pressing the minor notes, his dancing on top with aching grace. The melody curled around the room, haunted and wistful, like a memory trying to return.
Your hands moved like shadows across the keys — almost touching, almost crossing.
But not yet.
You could feel him beside you. The heat radiating off his skin. The way he breathed like the music was the only thing keeping him alive.
And then...
His pinky grazed yours.
Barely a brush. But it sent a jolt through you — like the music had turned to fire.
He didn’t look at you.
He just played on, like nothing happened. But his playing changed — just slightly.
It grew heavier. Slower. Seductive. Like he was daring you to feel it too.
Your fingers stumbled for half a beat. He noticed. You knew he did.
Still, you didn’t stop.
You found the rhythm again — swaying in time with him, with the pulse of the song, with the growing storm between you.
Then his hand crossed over yours — reaching for the high notes.
His wrist brushed the back of your palm, deliberately slow. The friction seared.
And still, he didn’t look.
He didn't have to.
The air between you buzzed with the kind of tension that only silence and sound together could make. Like restraint holding back something wild.
You kept playing.
And then — he moved his hand beneath yours this time, supporting the chord as your fingers floated above his.
You felt his knuckles. Warm. Calloused. Real.
“Stop trying to outrun the song,” he said softly. “Let it catch you.”
Your breath hitched.
His hand lingered under yours, just long enough to make you forget what you were playing.
“Do you feel it now?” he asked softly, his breath tickling your ear.
You clenched your thighsand nodded, eyes still on the keys.
“I do.”
And when your pinky brushed his again — this time, you didn’t pull away.
The music slowed. Grew heavier. Every note was an inhale. Every rest, an exhale. And in the space between it all — where no sound lived — something bloomed.
Want. Restraint. Fear. Longing.
You didn’t speak.
Because the waltz said everything.
And somewhere between your fingers grazing and the swell of the final note — you realized:
Jaehyun hadn’t just come to play. He’d come to bleed, too.
Together.
You could see it clearly now.
He was caged.
He was messy.
And he was wounded.
Your hands were still resting together on the keys, breath shallow, hearts louder than the silence.
Jaehyun pulled away first — but not far.
He stood slowly, like something heavy was coming undone in him. His jaw flexed, the way it always did when he was trying to stay cold.
But he wasn’t cold anymore.
Not after that.
“I shouldn’t have said those things,” he murmured, eyes not quite meeting yours.
You didn’t answer.
He turned his back to you, fingers flexing at his sides like he didn’t know what to do with them now that they weren’t hiding him anymore.
“I…” His voice caught, like he hadn’t spoken a real feeling in years. “I was taught that if you let the music feel too much… it’ll destroy you.”
Your breath hitched — barely. But he heard it.
He kept going.
“My first teacher…” He laughed, hollow and without humor. “He believed expression was filth. That it distracted from purity.”
He looked down at his hands — beautiful, scarred hands.
“I used to think he was right. That control was everything. That perfection was the only thing worth reaching for.”
“and then I met your grandfather and…”
He finally looked at you.
“he showed me what it was like to be free again.”
His eyes pooled with unshed tears.
Tears of grief.
Of guilt.
“And then I heard  you playing after his burial…it sounded so much like him. And it made me angry.”
You stiffened, but he stepped closer, slowly.
“It made me angry because I remembered.”
His voice was raw now, stripped of all polish.
“I remembered what it felt like to love a piece. To lose yourself in it. To want to scream through the keys. To want to play until your fingers bled because it was the only way to get it all out.”
He was in front of you now. His hair slightly covering his eyes, cheeks flushed and lips slightly parted.
He was close.
So fucking close your skin felt hot.
You craved him— You knew you did.
He was close enough for his voice to be a vibration in your ribcage.
“I’m sorry,” he whispered.
Not just for the words. Not just for the coldness.
But for every time he tried to crush the thing that made you… you.
“For the first time in years,” he said, voice trembling, “I heard music again. Not notes. Not time signatures. Music.”
His hand lifted — hesitated — then brushed your cheek. Featherlight. Like he wasn’t sure he had permission to touch something so alive.
“You made me feel something I wasn’t ready for.”
A pause.
His voice dropped to almost nothing.
“And I think that terrifies me.”
The room was quiet. But not empty.
It was full of unsaid things. Of years lost. Of notes held too long and silences that finally cracked.
You could still feel the echo of the waltz between your ribs. You knew he could too.
And when his forehead rested lightly against yours — not a kiss, not yet — just the soft ache of closeness…You realized he wasn’t asking for forgiveness.
He was offering surrender.
“The way you played…It wasn’t perfect. It wasn’t clean. But it… ached in all the right places. I could feel the grief in the minor shifts. The joy in the accidentals. The love in the spaces you let breathe.”
His brows furrowed, as if he couldn’t believe what he was saying aloud.
“That kind of playing—what you did—it takes more courage than anything I’ve ever learned. And I was too much of a coward to say that.”
He looked down, then up again, slowly.
“I’m sorry, not just for the things I said in that room. I’m sorry for not respecting what he taught you. For thinking that kind of music was less than.”
His voice dropped to a whisper, barely hanging in the air between you.
“I think your grandfather would’ve been proud.”
You blinked — once, twice — but the sting was there.
And Jaehyun saw it.
He didn’t move closer this time. He let the silence settle, let your heart catch up.
But then, when your gaze didn’t waver… he did.
He reached out, carefully, fingers ghosting over yours on the piano — like he was asking to join your world, not take it.
And when your pinkies brushed — barely there, but electric — his voice came again.
“I don’t want to be the reason your music hesitates.”
Another beat.
“I want to learn how to feel again.”
His voice cracked like an old string pulled too tight.
“And if you’ll let me… I want to learn from you.”
You stared at him — this man made of marble and bruised melody — and for the first time, you saw the boy beneath the training.
The man who never got to cry when the music begged him to.
You took his fully in yours and gave a tight reassuring squeeze
“Okay”
LESSONS: FEELING IN MUSIC
Week One - Touch
He sat beside you stiffly, spine straight, jaw locked. His eyes kept flicking down to his hands like they were foreign to him. You watched the tension crawl across his shoulders — the way his fingers hovered just above the keys, twitching, uncertain. Like pressing a note might make something inside him snap.
“Don’t think,” you whispered. “Just play.”
His breath hitched. He glanced at you, wide-eyed — like he wanted to believe you, but didn’t know how.
“I don’t know how to not think.”
You placed your hand over his. His entire body stilled. Your touch was soft — but it landed like lightning. His throat bobbed as he swallowed, hard.
“Then stop trying to get it right. Start trying to feel it.”
You guided his hand down, gently. His fingers pressed the chord, trembling slightly beneath yours.
“You’re trembling,” you said softly.
He didn’t meet your eyes.
“I’m not used to this,” he breathed, voice rough.
You tilted your head.
“To being… touched like this.”
There it was — vulnerability cracked open on his face. His brows drew in, lashes fluttering once before he looked at you with an expression that sat somewhere between awe and fear.
You smiled gently. Too gently.
“Like what?”
A muscle in his jaw twitched.
“Like you want me to unravel.”
Week Two - Language of the Hands
You stood behind him now, your presence warm against his back. Your fingers rested lightly on his shoulders — grounding, not gripping. And still — he flinched. Shoulders tensed. Breath caught.
“Relax.”
“I can’t,” he said, barely above a whisper.
His voice trembled — not from fear, but restraint. Like he knew that if he let go even an inch, everything would spill.
So you let your hands drift downward. Slowly. Deliberately. Over his arms. Over every ridge of muscle that tightened beneath your fingers. He inhaled sharply through his nose — a quiet sound, but telling.
Then you leaned in, your lips barely grazing the shell of his ear.
“You don’t have to earn softness. Just accept it.”
He shuddered. Not from cold. From you.
His eyes squeezed shut, expression flickering into something raw.
“You do that on purpose,” he muttered, jaw clenched.
“What?”
He turned just enough for you to see his face in profile — the flush creeping up his neck, the storm in his eyes.
“Say things like that. Touch me like that. And then act like you didn’t just ruin me.”
 Week Three - Eye Contact
You were across the room demonstrating something — posture, maybe. Dynamics. You weren’t even playing anything difficult.
But when you glanced back—
He wasn’t watching your hands.
His eyes were locked on your mouth. His lips parted, slightly, like the sight alone had undone him.
“What?”
He blinked. Slow. Like he hadn’t even realized he’d been caught.
And then — a faint, knowing smirk.
“You teach like you kiss.”
You froze mid-gesture. The corner of your mouth twitched upward in disbelief.
“Excuse me?”
His gaze dropped to your mouth again — deliberately.
“With intention,” he said. “But like you don’t even realize it’s seductive.”
You dropped a chord. He chuckled — low, amused, infatuated.
 Month Two - Composition and Confession
He handed you the sheet. His fingers brushed yours, and you felt the heat from his skin even after he pulled away. You skimmed the notes. Your brows lifted.
“You wrote this?” you asked, tone soft.
He nodded once, but didn’t speak.
“It sounds… alive.”
Still, silence.
You looked up.
He was already looking at you — not nervous, but exposed. Like he was waiting for you to see him between the lines.
“Did you write it thinking of something?” you asked.
His throat moved. He clenched his jaw before answering.
“Someone.”
You blinked.
Then carefully, you pressed your fingers to the keys. The melody bloomed into the air — vulnerable, tender, aching.
And when you glanced up mid-phrase — he was watching you with his whole chest open. Eyes wide. Hands in his lap. Breathing shallow.
“Is this how you see me?”
His voice broke when he answered.
“No,” he said. “That’s how you make me feel.”
Month Three — Practicing in the Dark
The room was quiet — save for the faint hum of city noise outside and the distant ticking of the wall clock. The glow from the lamp painted the walls in soft gold. Shadows flickered like breath.
Your knees brushed. Neither of you moved.
He leaned forward to turn the page, and your hands collided.
He didn’t pull away.
“You ruin me a little more every time you touch the keys.”
You turned your head slowly.
He was already watching you.
His eyes were shadowed, not just by the low lamplight, but by something deeper. Something breaking. Something baring its teeth and begging.
“I want to know what your music would sound like,” he murmured, voice frayed at the edges, “if you played it for me. Just me. Like I was your secret.”
Your breath stilled in your throat.
You tried to speak, but all you managed was a dry whisper. “Why?”
He leaned closer
So close his words trembled against your lips like a prayer he was too afraid to finish.
“Because I think…” He swallowed. “I think I’d finally understand how love sounds.”
You blinked. “W-what?”
He didn’t laugh. Didn’t smirk. Just looked at you like he was standing on the edge of something high and holy.
“I want you,” he said, and it wasn’t a confession… it was a surrender.
“Not just the way you play. Not just the way you look at me when I finally get it right.”
His voice cracked and he didn’t try to hide it.
“I want every version of you. Every messy, brilliant, soft, cruel, breathtaking part.”
He looked down, like the words were too heavy to carry while meeting your eyes.
Then, barely above a whisper
“Please…” His hand hovered near yours, not touching. “Use me however you want. Ruin me. Teach me. Just… need me. Like I need you.”
You stared at him, stunned.
The air between you was thick… like if you moved too fast, you’d tear straight through the tension and unravel both of you.
Exposing you and how you really felt about him.
He’d said it.
Not just the words, but everything underneath them.
The need.
 The ache.
The silent confession he’d been wearing like a second skin since the first time you touched his hand on the keys.
And you couldn’t look away.
His eyes were still cast down, like he regretted giving himself away. Like he was bracing for rejection.
you couldn’t let him sit in that.
Not when you felt it too.
Even if it meant he was going to find about the times you climaxed thinking of how his fingers would feel inside you.
How he would feel inside you.
You couldn’t just sit and watch him like this…
Not when you’d been pretending it was just practice when your hands lingered too long, when your voice dipped low, when your eyes met his and stayed there.
You stood slowly.
His gaze flicked up — hopeful, hesitant.
You walked to the piano, heart hammering, then looked over your shoulder.
“Come here,” you whispered desperately
He didn’t move at first, just stared like he didn’t trust what he heard.
“I want to show you,” you said again, quieter this time. “How you make me feel.”
That made him rise…slow, reverent — like he was walking toward a chapel instead of a girl who made his hands shake just by speaking.
You turned away from him, not because you were unsure — but because you felt everything too much. His gaze. His nearness. The promise you were about to make with no sheet music in front of you.
You slid onto the top of the piano, legs crossed delicately at the ankles, dress slipping up as you shifted — not indecent, not bold — but intentional. A silent statement: look at me. really look.
Your hands trembled slightly as they came to rest on your lap.
You still didn’t look at him.
Couldn’t.
The air was molasses — thick, slow, heavy with things unsaid.
You heard the way his breath hitched.
“Why can’t you look at me?” he asked, voice rough and strained, like he knew what was about to happen.
“Because if I do,” you whispered, “I’ll forget how to speak in music. And that’s the only language I’m brave in right now.”
A pause.
Then his steps, soft, but as he came closer you realize they were also sure.
You felt his fingers brush your ankle. Just a ghost of a touch. Reverent. Worshipful.
Your breath stuttered.
“Then play,” he murmured, eyes now level with yours, “and let me hear what you can’t say, baby.”
And you did.
Not with the piano.
But with the way your knees parted — just enough for him to step into the space that had always belonged to him.
The way your trembling fingers found his chest — the place where sound lived when he didn’t know how to speak.
A composition of silence.
A symphony of skin and want and reverence.
And when your eyes met his — wide, glassy, burning with something too big for language — he looked at you like a man who had just found God in a song he never knew he needed.
Slowly, your hand reached for his.
Guided it.
Brought it to the place where your heart was beating the loudest…not in your chest, but between your hips.
“Feel it,” you breathed, voice breaking. “Feel what you do to me.”
His fingers trembled.
So did yours.
“I don’t just want you, Jae.” Your voice cracked like a confession in a church pew. “I crave you.”
You blinked, and tears clung to your lashes.
Because you’d never said anything more honest in your life.
He leaned in closer as his fingers circled your clothed clit painfully slow
He didn’t take his eyes away from your face…not even when you started to move your hips in a way to give you more pleasure.
It was like he wanted this specific version of you permanently painted in the forefront and back of his mind.
Eyes memorizing every curve, scar and feature of your face.
The way our lips parted as you let out short gasps and whines
The quiet “Please” that left you mouth more than once
And he definitely didn’t look away when you took his other scarred hand and kissed his scars.
His eyes widened a fraction…like he wanted to see all of you before you disappeared
Poor thing…
You weren’t going anywhere…not anymore
You were done running.
You saw the moment his eyes flicked to something more darker
Sinister almost…
You swirled your tongue around his finger painting it with your saliva
Your licked right down to the web of his fingers before you flattened your tongue licking all the way back up to his finger tip.
You  rubbed his finger all over you lips and chin.
He quickly grabbed your chin hooking his wet index under and pressing his thumb against your bottom lip
Forcing you to really look at him
“You’re playing a very dangerous fucking chord Y/n”  his voice ripped from his chest
Brutish
animalistic
His breath ghosted your lips — close enough to taste, far enough to ache.
You could feel the war in him. The pull. The restraint. The part of him that wanted to devour you... and the part that refused to touch what he didn’t think he deserved.
So you leaned in first.
Not a kiss.
Just a brush.
Your nose to his. Your lips barely grazing — just enough to feel how soft his were.
Is it possible to be addicted to something you never had?
He exhaled like you’d punched the air out of him. A shaky, broken sound.
“Don’t,” he begged, voice wrecked. “Don’t kiss me unless you mean it.”
You pulled back just enough to meet his eyes — and God, he looked destroyed. Brows drawn. Lips parted. Eyes glassy, like he was holding back an ocean.
You wanted to drown in it.
“I do,” you whispered. “I’ve never meant anything more.”
And then you kissed him.
Fully.
Softly.
Like you weren’t afraid of his edges.
His hand shot to your waist — not possessive, just desperate — as if he needed to hold you there or he’d fall. His other hand cradled the back of your head, fingers tangling in your hair like it was instinct.
He kissed you like a secret he’d kept his whole life.
Like he was scared you’d disappear if he opened his eyes.
You felt it in every tremble of his mouth,
Every exhale into your skin Every barely-there whimper he didn’t mean to make.
And when he finally pulled back, breathless, lips swollen and pink from the pressure, his forehead dropped to yours again.
Eyes still closed.
“You feel like music,” he rasped. “And I’ve been deaf my whole damn life.”
Desperate. Consuming. Worshipful.
He kissed like the hunger had been building for weeks and this was his first taste of relief. Except… it wasn’t relief. It was ignition. A match to every unspoken need that had ever passed between you.
You felt it in your spine.
The fire.
Like a burning Symphony
The kiss wasn’t perfect. It was too open, too wet, too full of gasped breaths and shaken moans. But God, it was real.
“You don’t get it, do you?”
You blinked, dazed, flushed. “What?”
His eyes were shining — not with tears, but with something deeper. A soul cracked open.
“You’ve already ruined me for anything and anyone else.”
He choked on his breath. One hand gripped your waist. The other cradled your jaw like it was the only thing tethering him to earth.
“And I let you in. I wanted you to fucking wreck me…Because for the first time in my life, breaking doesn’t feel like the end.”
You inhaled sharply, heart pounding like a warning you were ready to ignore.
“It feels like becoming.”
Your mouth parted — a whimper barely forming.
He leaned closer.
“So let me become yours.” “Let me fall apart in your hands, and I swear—” “I’ll spend the rest of my life learning how to make you feel wanted.”
His lips brushed yours again, softer this time. Torturous.
“Say yes,” he whispered. “Say yes, and I’ll worship every inch of you like you’re the only thing that’s ever saved me.”
Yes.
But you didn’t just want to say it
You wanted to scream it
To breathe it
To become it
You wanted him to wreck you. To pull you apart and break you into pieces
You wanted him to use you as the ink to write his new piece.
You wanted him to touch you like you were fragile, then love you like you’d be the easiest thing to break again.
You didn’t want his tenderness...not now
You wanted truth.
All of it.
His hands. His mouth. His heart. His need
You wanted him to transform you.
Your hands trembled as they slid down his chest, fisting in the fabric of his  shirt like you
Could anchor yourself to the heat of him.
“Please…” Your voice craked
Not for fear.
From need
“Please don’t hold back.”
He stilled.
Brows drawn tight. Jaw clenched so hard you hear the pressure an building crescendo in his silence. His eyes searched yours, as if he was waiting for some signal- some final permission to let go of the restraint that chained him.
You leaned in, lips brushing the shell of his ear, and whispered like a vow
“I want you to ruin me.”
His breath hitched
A gasp disguised as a growl.
“I want you to use me. However you need, however you ache to.”
You pulled back just enough to look at him
“I don’t want soft.”
“I don’t want careful.”
A tear spilled over, warm and desperate as it slipped down your cheek.
“I want to feel everything you’ve been holding back.”
Your hands guided his to your waist.
“I want to feel how much you’ve wanted me.”
“I want you to lose yourself in me.”
You exhaled, trembling.
“Please…let me be the thing that unravels you.”
That undid him.
Because that was the truth wasn’t it?
You wanted the storm inside him. The part he tried to cage. The part that wanted to leave bruises in the shape of worship.
“Touch me like I’m the only thing that’s ever made you feel alive.”
You watched his pupils blow wide—lust, reverence, wreckage.
And then, in a voice that sounded more like a promise than a plea:
“Break me, Jae.”
In a flash he pushed to you down to lay you flat on top of the piano.
Feet still dangling at the end…with him standing in between
In slow torturous movements he lowered his body and knelt between your legs
You felt his hot breath on your inner thighs.
He knelt between your thighs like a sinner before an altar — except this time, you were the god he worshipped.
His breath kissed your skin, hot and reverent, leaving goosebumps. His hands slid up the backs of your thighs, slow, certain, like he’d imagined this a thousand times and didn’t rush now that it was real.
You whimpered — not from impatience, but from the unbearable pressure of being seen.
He looked up at you.
Not just your body. You.
And what you saw in his eyes nearly unravelled you:
Hunger. Need. A kind of awe that felt like it could swallow you whole.
“You really want to be the thing that breaks me?” he rasped, voice shredded by emotion. “Because that’s what this is, isn’t it?”
You nodded, lips parted, barely breathing.
He pressed his forehead to your stomach. Exhaled like he was praying. Or trying not to fall apart.
“Then let me fall apart in your hands,” he murmured. “Let me give you everything. All of me.”
You reached for him, shaking, desperate.
“Then take it,” you whispered. “Take all of me.”
He hooked his fingers on the waistband of your panties and pulled them down.
“Keep your legs open and your eyes on me.” Simple instructions that you knew would be hard to follow.
Wasting no time his mouth was on you, licking and sucking where he needed to
Your hand gripped his hair pulling and tugging causing his to moan and groan.
You felt dazed.
Your eyes rolling to the back of your head.
“Fuck Jae” You bawled--tears freely running down your cheeks
His hands hooked under your thighs and dragged you closer, even as your body instinctively tried to flee the overwhelming pleasure.
He detached his lips form you momentarily and looked up.
Eyes wild , hair tussled and lips glistening.
“Don’t fucking move” His eyes pierced yours.
You let out a breathy cry.
“Do you fucking hear me y/n? don’t fucking move”
You simply nodded. Too dizzy to use your voice.
Satisfied with your answer he continued to devour you
Piece by fucking piece
But even after you came
Even after you kept your eyes on him and your legs open-- though difficult
Even after your juices were dripping of the edge of the piano onto the keys
Even after your pussy was too sensitive and swollen , he still wasn’t satsifed.
“Jae, please…can’t… take anymore” you could barley speak above a whisper,
Your throat was raw from the constant screaming he caused.
“I know you’re tired baby but I’m not done” His voice was so gentle as if he was sympathizing with you. But his eyes didn’t dim a bit.
Still dark
Still needing
Still hungry.
Slowly, he stood and helped you sit up. His hand found your cheek, stroking it with a tenderness that made you lean into his touch. Your eyes fluttered shut, breath catching — you were exactly where you wanted to be.
Then you felt it. The warmth of his lips leaving soft, reverent kisses — from your forehead, to your nose, down to your chin. Each one a vow, a worship, a claim.
His voice came next, low and sinful against your ear.
“How many do you think you can take?”
You kept your eyes closed, body humming, head spinning. “…Huh?” you breathed, already half undone.
Suddenly his hand gripped your neck slightly choking you
“How many more orgasms can you give me baby?”
Your eyes popped open at the change in his tone. From gentle… to commanding. From worship… to something animalistic. Something feral.
His grip tightened just enough to make your breath hitch. He leaned in, lips brushing your jaw as he spoke.
“You begged me to ruin you,” he rasped. His voice was dark, low, wrecked with restraint. “So tell me—how far are you willing to break for me?”
Your lips parted, but no words came out—just a desperate, choked sound that only made him smirk. A sound that told him everything he needed to know.
“You want my tenderness?” He dragged his thumb across your bottom lip. “Or do you want to feel what it’s like when I lose control?”
You whimpered.
“I’ll give you both,” he whispered like a vow. “But once I start—there’s no going back.”
His unoccupied hand massages your breast
“how many more”
Your eyes roll and you moan as he pinches your nipple
“Y/N!” His voice snaps you out of your trance
“Open your fucking mouth and answer me”
Your breath ragged “I—I’m not sure.”
His hand left your breast and travelled downward to your still swollen and sensitive pussy
Fingers dancing around your entrance
He leaned towards your lips and whispered
“Then let’s find out”
In one swift motion two of his fingers push into you at an achingly slow pace
Your hips buck trying to draw more pleasure from him
“More” you whimpered
You knew your body was crashing but you were greedy.
So fucking greedy
His fingers start to over at a faster pace curling just right making you feel like falling
“Fuckkk” Jaehyun moaned looking down at his fingers.
You were dripping around them, slick coating his fingers and falling in soft drops onto the floor.
“You’re fucking perfect” He says in admiration
His eyes were on you now, still hungry but glistening with so much awe it made you feel overwhelmed
Everything felt heightened
And he still didn’t let up
Fingers still drawing all he can out of you
“Jae, I’m gonna cum” you gripped his arm trying to slow his pace
“Cum then” he stilled pummelled his finger into you over and over
You grabbed his shoulders and pulled him into you
“Slow downnn” you begged as hot tears streamed down your cheeks
“One more” He says
“Just one more baby…then I can fuck you to sleep” He looks up at you and smiles, popping his dimple.
 You let out a broken, shameless moan—raw, wrecked, and real
“Jae! Pleaseee” You moan
Your scream split the air—loud enough to leave your ears ringing, your body shaking under the force of it
“Let it all go baby”
And you did.
All over his hand and shirt…
All over the sheets of music
All over the fucking piano
Your chest heaved as you took quick breaths
Slowly Jaehyun pulls his fingers out of you making you flinch at the loss of contact
He bites his lip as he stares at you raising his wet fingers to your mouth
“Open up for me”
You open your mouth and wait
Shockingly, he does something unexpected
Something that makes you feel feral
He spat into your waiting mouth, watching with dark hunger as you took it—no hesitation, no shame.
“Swallow” he says
And you did. Licking your lips after.
He smiles revealing his dimple.
You could tell he liked what he told you…no questions asked.
“Good fucking girl” he praises.
“Now get on your knees for me baby.”

Tumblr media
pairing ↠ jaehyun x (f) reader
genre .. warnings ↠ smut, age gap (18+), drowning, noncon, baby trapping, unprotected sex, oral, angst
summary ↠ after eighteen years of complying with the rules of your domineering parents, you finally decide it’s time to wipe the slate clean and move away. rose creek motel is nothing in the grand scheme of your life, especially with a history of serial killers lurking around, but when you meet jaehyun, you decide that you’re not in any hurry after all.
wc ↠ 15.8k (i…dont Know)
a/n ↠ okay tbh i intended for the last smut scene to be Darker but you have to understand i was listening to horizon and forever only giggling and smiling and shit. cut me some slack pls. before you read, heed the warnings. i do not intend to glorify age gaps or predatory behaviors.
don’t like it, don’t read.
after a three-hour train ride to another city and another hour of wandering, you were thrilled to stumble across a motel before dusk. at first, there didn’t seem to be any nearby.
it was a smaller one, not part of any major chains throughout the country. there didn’t appear to be many staff nor customers. there was one dude who checked you in at the front desk and maybe a handful of cars in the lot.
not that it mattered. you wouldn’t be here long enough to be concerned about the sheer size of the place. a few days, maybe less, but certainly not more. the grand city of newark was waiting for you and you were borderline impatient to get there. but on the other hand, you wanted to savor this little trip. 
it would mark the first of your own, and the true beginning of your lifelong journey to find yourself.
any other person most likely would have been desperate to kick off their shoes and head to their room for the night, but the creek across the road from the motel caught your eye. you rushed over in spite of your aching feet as though it wouldn’t be there tomorrow, ambling along the riverbank. 
the waters rushed and crashed into slew of rocks, and you closed your eyes as you took in the sound. you could hear birds singing late afternoon songs and the rustling of trees in the early march spring. 
footsteps behind you startled you out of your peace. your foot slipped and your body lurched forward. had not a pair of big, burly arms clasped around you tightly, you would have slipped into the tiny creek. 
you glanced up in shock, meeting a handsome pair of innocent eyes. “sorry, i didn’t mean to scare you,” he said, pulling you away from the bank. 
when you were safely on your own feet again, the handsome stranger released you. you straightened your skirt and smiled up at him. “it’s fine. thank you for catching me.”
“no problem. it would have been my fault if you fell.” he introduced, “i’m jaehyun. i work at the motel across here.”
you glanced back at the motel, as if you hadn’t seen it before. “oh,” you said, surprised. but the uniform clinging to him gave that away. “not much staff, huh?”
jaehyun smiled. he had deep, adorable dimples. “well, we are a pretty small motel. we do what we can with what we have.”
“do you get a lot of visitors?”
“usually just people with a road trip gone bad,” jaehyun said. “i’d ask what a girl like you is doing out here by yourself, but i don’t want to seem like a creep.”
you laughed, wondering how that would be possible. when you were as handsome as this boy was, it would’ve been more difficult. “no, it’s okay. i’m actually not having a car trouble. i got here by train. i’m on my way to newark.”
“newark,” jaehyun repeated, seemingly interested. “where from?”
“boston,” you chirped. “i’m starting afresh. my birthday was a few days ago and as my parents like to put it, i’ve ‘gone rogue.’”
jaehyun’s eyes went a little wider in surprise. “happy belated birthday,” he said. “how old are you now?”
you shrugged, deciding not to reveal too much information. you were maybe naive to a fault, but not a complete idiot. “that’s a secret. i’m an adult, though.”
jaehyun snickered. “that’s obvious. you checked yourself into the motel, didn’t you?”
well, that was true. but the exterior of the building seemed so shady, you’d initially doubted they would even bother with identification. you were grateful they didn’t require you to be twenty-one. a second longer of wandering and you would have collapsed on the side of the road. 
ignoring his question, you gave one of your own. “how old are you?”
mocking you, jaehyun put a finger to his lip and said, “that’s a secret. but i’m an adult, too.”
you shook your head, but there was an amused smile on your face. “fair enough,” you mumbled, turning towards the creek.
jaehyun’s attention shifted with yours. “it’s called rose creek, our namesake,” he told you. “not much to see out here.”
“that’s not true,” you disagreed. “there’s a ton to see in nature. you just have to open your eyes and look.”
jaehyun seemed amused, giving you a look. 
noticing his furrowed brows, you pointed towards the middle of the water. “look,” you said softly. “there’s a cute little baby turtle right there. they love creeks, because they’re an easy place to find tasty victims.”
jaehyun’s eyes focused, landing on what he had thought was a rock and only noticed upon further inspection was indeed a turtle, chilling in its leathery shell. “damn, you’ve got a good eye.”
you giggled. “i grew up near a creek. you learn to pick up on those sort of things.”
“ah,” jaehyun replied, nodding his understanding. “should we name it?”
“what would we name it?”
jaehyun shrugged. “squirtle.”
that almost prompted you to roll your eyes. “that’s too cliché.”
“then, what do you suggest?” jaehyun asked with a grin, crossing his arms. 
“i don’t know,” you mumbled. “donatello.”
jaehyun snickered. “and that’s any better?”
you threw up your hands. “okay. fine. how about… archie.”
well, that was different from the other suggestions. “why archie?”
“because turtles remind me of that one studio ghibli film about the red turtle,” you told him, lowering your head shyly as you explained yourself. “and when i think of red, i think of that guy from riverdale.”
“isn’t that that show about teens dying?”
you shrugged. “don’t know. never watched it.”
something about that was amusing to jaehyun and he decided that your suggestion was fitting. “alright. then, archie it is.”
you beamed. 
“well, it’s getting dark. i don’t think i have to tell you not to wander too late. you seem like a smart girl,” jaehyun said.
you glanced around at the shadows falling onto the rustling trees and the last gleams of today’s light shimmering on the creek. “you’re right. i should head up,” you replied, turning to face him. “have a good night, jaehyun.”
when you turned away, jaehyun realized he never got your name.
after a long night of trying to catch up on some much-needed sleep, you decided to head down to the pool. it was nice to see a motel with a couple of accommodations. they would make a good enough resting spot before you returned to your travels tomorrow.
there were a number of lounge chairs facing the pool, but instead you chose to climb into a hammock a few feet away from it. it was a nice spring day, neither too hot nor too cold, and you folded your arms behind your head while fighting the urge to close your eyes.
there weren’t a lot of people staying at or near the hotel, so you weren’t surprised to be alone. to think of it, you hadn’t seen anyone but a couple of staff. although you did walk past a room blasting heavy rock.
you heard footsteps, and turned to see jaehyun, sporting his burgundy uniform. he had a cart of towels, probably coming to restock. “jaehyun,” you called out.
jaehyun blinked up in surprise, likely not expecting to see you there. but when he did, he smiled and started to step over. “hey,” he said, digging his hands in his pockets. “you never told me your name.”
“whoops. silly me,” you replied, then told him your name. 
you watched him process it, as if he was deciding in his head whether he liked it or not. he repeated it quietly to himself and said, “that’s very pretty.”
“thanks,” you replied, bursting into giggles. “how’s work going so far?”
“oh, you know,” jaehyun started, gesturing over to his cart with his shoulder. “nothing new. i never thought i would complain about not having enough work to do.”
you snorted. “i get what you mean. i was a camp counselor one summer. those kids drove me mad, you know. but when they were gone, i cried.”
there was a shimmer in jaehyun’s eyes. “do you like kids?”
“yeah. they can be a handful, but they’re delightful. honestly, i don’t trust anyone who doesn’t like kids. how can you be mad at someone so innocent and full of life?”
jaehyun nodded his agreement. “i realized a long time ago that people who don’t like kids are always bitter and unhappy with their own lives.”
that made you snicker, and the more you thought about it, he was probably right. “look at that. projection at its finest.”
“can i ask a personal question?”
“sure,” you said reluctantly. “what’s on your mind?”
jaehyun seemed to hesitate, battling with himself in his head for a long minute before he asked, “would you ever have kids?”
that wasn’t so bad of a question. you hummed, not really having to think about it. you already knew your answer. “i’ve dreamt of settling down and having kids with the right person since i was young.”
jaehyun gawked a bit. “really?”
“yes, really,” you told him, laughing at his astonishment. “i guess you can say i’ve always had big dreams. is that surprising?”
“no, it’s…,” jaehyun trailed, finding no words. “those big dreams of yours. they couldn’t happen in boston?”
now that was a bit more personal. you blew out a breath. “well,” you began, glancing at the unnervingly still pool. “i just wanted a new environment.”
jaehyun was tempted to press, to figure you out even more, but he didn’t want to risk startling you off. “maybe you were fated to stop by a really old motel in the middle of nowhere.”
“and meet you?”
something about that made jaehyun smile. you were so smart. “and meet me,” he repeated.
by now, you knew that jaehyun was kind of into you, the same way you were kind of into him. so, you decided to test the waters. “too bad that i’m leaving tomorrow,” you murmured quietly. 
jaehyun heard you, and he frowned, though there was nothing he could do. it’s not like he expected you to put your whole life on hold for a guy you’d just met.
or maybe there was something he could do. “what if i gave you a couple of days on the house?” jaehyun asked.
your eyes flitted up at his deep brown pair. “really?”
jaehyun nodded. “what’s a few days?”
he had a solid point there. what was a few days? newark would still be there later on, and plus you had been taking your sweet time to make it there anyways. you weren’t in a hurry to get to this new life.
“then, i guess i’d stay,” you said, grinning wildly.
jaehyun mimicked a victorious grin. “i think i’d like it if you stayed much longer than that, but i know you’ve got big plans.”
in all honesty, that surprised you a little. he was talking to you as if you had been here weeks, and not less than twenty-four hours. “what would someone like me do in connecticut?”
jaehyun shrugged. “we’ve got… yale.”
you snorted. “and what makes you think i’m smart enough to get into yale?”
“actually, a lot of things. but i’d better get to work before i get caught slacking on the job,” jaehyun said, pointing to a camera projecting from the side of the motel that had a complete overview of the pool.
you gawked. “those things work?”
jaehyun laughed at your surprise. it was addictively cute, seeing his dimples deepen and his eyes sparkle. “you’re surprised?”
“a little bit,” you confessed quietly.
to your surprise, jaehyun’s hand softly brushed your arm. it was so gentle, so fleeting, you could’ve convinced yourself it never happened had you not felt a lingering tickle where he’d touched you. “see you around,” he said to you featherly.
“see you,” you replied in a small voice, having lost it all. your eyes were fixed to his back as he walked away.
damn it, you were wanting more of this guy you barely knew.
almost half an hour passed before you eventually decided to head back up to your room. you wanted nothing more than to get to know jaehyun better, but you would never interfere with a man’s pay. plus you were pretty confident that he would come to you when he was free enough.
there was a guy hovering over the railing next to your room, because he had been staying in the one beside yours. there was a joint between his fingers, although you had noted a couple of signs prohibiting it, not that anyone seemed to care. the stench of marijuana was all you could smell when you passed certain doors.
you had expected to slip past him and enter your room without interruption, so imagine your shock when he said, “i wouldn’t walk around here wearing stuff like that if i were you.”
like first nature, you tightened the towel around you. “excuse me?” 
the man didn’t look at you, facing the world. you could see the creek from here, and that was where his gaze seemed to be rooted, too. “when you’ve lived as long as me, you know things,” he told you. “you see that creek over there? a lot of bodies used to turn up there in the eighties. young girls that stayed here a night or two.”
you said nothing, because you had nothing to say. the obvious discomfort on your face was enough. 
“i’m just saying. you look like you’re alone. wouldn’t want anything bad happening to you,” he said, putting out the joint and walking away.
well, that was single-handedly the weirdest interaction you’d had at this motel so far. you hurried to unlock your room, immediately locking the door behind yourself.
you tried not to think much of it as you changed clothes, but you couldn’t help but wonder if that man was telling the truth or if he’d just had a little too much to smoke. either way, it was over twenty years ago. jaehyun had mentioned nothing to you about any serial killers.
then again, he was clearly trying to get you to stay. the last thing he would’ve wanted was to scare you off.
chill the fuck out. just don’t hang around any old people. like that guy, you told yourself, comforting.
given that you didn’t go out again that day, you didn’t see jaehyun at all until you finally emerged from your room the next afternoon in pursuit of a late breakfast. but when you glanced across the railing, you saw a figure all too familiar facing the creek.
forgoing breakfast for now, you raced downstairs and headed the road. they weren’t busy at all, although you still had a habit of checking before you crossed. 
jaehyun heard you approaching, but didn’t turn around to face you. “how come i just know that it’s you?” he asked. 
you snickered, but it wasn’t like too many people would be strolling around this creek out of a curious interest. “maybe i have really distinguishable footsteps?”
laughing, jaehyun finally met your eyes and beckoned you closer. you obliged, cautiously stepping to his side.
it was quiet for a moment, but it wasn’t awkward. the two of you were marveling at the beauty of nature together, enticed by what you saw. it was sunnier today than it was yesterday and sunlight filtered through the trees, shimmering on the water.
“i’ve been thinking about what you told me,” jaehyun finally said after a minute or two. “when you said there’s a lot to see in nature. and ever since, i’ve been looking and appreciating the little things i didn’t notice before. you were right.”
“of course, i am,” you replied, but the cockiness was to hide the flutter of your heart. “when i’m sick of human nature, it’s always nice to come back to earth. it’s beautiful.”
jaehyun bobbed his head in agreement. “archie’s over there.” he pointed somewhere along the far end of the creek. “it likes the sun.”
“yeah. sun basking is, like, a turtle’s favorite hobby,” you said, poking your head out to spot the cute baby turtle. you were grinning from ear to ear. 
“what a simple life,” jaehyun said, lightheartedly shaking his head in envy.
you burst into giggles. but that reminded you of one of the many curious thoughts you had about jaehyun, and you figured now was a great time to ask. “hey, i didn’t want to ask this before because i didn’t know how you take it. but you don’t look like the typical guy in motel business.”
from the look on his face, jaehyun was anything but offended. “it’s my parents’ business,” he explained. “i just work here part-time.”
“ah.” you nodded your understanding, finding that a satisfactory answer. but it only made you want to know who jaehyun was when he wasn’t hard at work, donning the family uniform.
then, you remembered what that guy told you about the murders and realized that perhaps jaehyun knew more about if they genuinely existed. 
jaehyun beat you to a word. “by the way, are you going to tell me how old you really are? because adult could mean you’re twenty-four or forty-two.”
you rolled your eyes. he was being funny. “i’m eighteen.”
“damn,” jaehyun said, wincing. “i’m nine years older than you.”
that was totally surprising. “really?”
“you don’t see the wrinkles?” jaehyun asked, pointing to his smooth, wrinkleless face.
god, he was alarmingly handsome. not to mention his skin looked literally poreless. “please. i thought you were twenty-three at the oldest.”
“that’s funny,” jaehyun said with amusement. “i thought you were at least old enough to drink. damn, you carry yourself like you’re older.”
that wasn’t the first time you had heard something along the line of those words, but damn, this guy was pushing thirty?
jaehyun seemed to have sobered a little the next time you glanced at his face, like he was worried about something. “is it weird now?”
“no,” you told him too quickly, maybe because you didn’t want it to be. “not unless you make it weird.”
it seemed like time stopped and the world was no longer spinning for a minute as you and jaehyun gazed into each other’s eyes. and the closer he came to you, your noses nearly brushing, the less you could breathe. “am i making it weird?” he whispered.
you couldn’t speak, so you simply shook your head, gaze lowering to his perfect lips.
everything happened in an instant. one second, you were thinking about how he was perfect from head to toe, and the very next, your heart was soaring as his lips met yours. your eyes fluttered closed, and you felt as if you were being whisked away into a wonderland.
the two of you kissed with heat and passion, overcome with the urge to swallow one another whole, and jaehyun was somewhat surprised by how talented of a kisser you were. the feeling was mutual. you had kissed a handful of boys, but never any with this much finesse.
maybe you had been wanting to kiss jaehyun this whole time, and never knew until you had him.
jaehyun broke away after a moment or two, impressed that you weren’t the first to tap out. something about kissing you was addictive. damn, it made a pretty picture in his head, your arms thrown around his neck and his on your back.
“damn, baby,” jaehyun said, catching his breath. “where’d you learn to kiss like that?”
you peered up at him with a smile, wondering if he somehow got even handsomer in the time your eyes had been closed. “you say i carry myself like i’m older than i am. well, my folks would beg to differ.”
that answer was vague as hell, but jaehyun understood what you meant perfectly. “ah, teenage rebellion? you make out with a lot of guys to piss your parents off?”
“sure, let’s go with that,” you mumbled, still none too keen on disclosing what was officially your old life. then, you caught a glimpse of his lips, and burst into laughter. “you’ve got a little something there.”
“yeah?” jaehyun asked, swiping his thumb over a lipgloss stain that you’d left on the corner of his mouth.
“a little bit to the left,” you told him, trying - and failing miserably - to keep a straight face. “no, my left.”
jaehyun pretended to get annoyed, grumbling, “if i kiss you again, will it matter that i wipe it off?”
at the thought of kissing jaehyun again, your heart skipped a beat or two, but you tried not to show it on your face. “i think that would defeat the purpose.”
jaehyun smiled, and before you knew it, your lips were pressed together again. all you could hear was the obvious wet smacking of your lips, the soft murmuring of the wind, and the quiet rippling of the water.
but you could feel his touch, his hand gingerly falling from the middle of your back to the apex of your thighs. jaehyun pulled away from your lips again, but only to kiss you on your jaw and neck. and everything about it made you feel hot inside out, as if you were scalding.
feeling you tensing beneath his fingertips, jaehyun grinned smugly. he leaned into your ear, whispering, “how about we head up to your room, yeah?”
you were no idiot. it was plain what that meant and a kind of nervous excitement settled in the pit of your stomach like a kaleidoscope of butterflies. “okay,” you replied, letting him take you by the hand.
almost the second you were safely behind closed doors, jaehyun pressed you against the nearest wall and kissed you fiercely. although you were taken by surprise, you returned the kiss with the same amount of fervor, slightly sticking your tongue into his mouth.
mischief curled onto jaehyun’s lips, pleasantly surprised by all the little things you were initiating. his hands slowly wandered down your body for a minute, one hand at your ass and the other cupping your breasts over your shirt. you made a soft breathy noise that had jaehyun scorching with the itch to fuck you, and it only increased tenfold when he noticed your eager hands fumbling with the buckle on his belt.
while your fingers were hard at work, jaehyun’s were too, waiting for the perfect time to slip underneath your shirt. you shuddered when the tips of his fingers brushed against your stiff nipples, whispering jaehyun’s name. 
“come over here,” jaehyun said, leading you over to the bed. 
he gently lowered you down onto the mattress and started to undress you piece by piece in between kisses, pressing his lips against every bit he exposed. it was all you could do to contain your agitation, holding your breath as his face crept lower. 
to keep the more uneasy thoughts out of your head, you focused on jaehyun, asking, “aren’t you on the clock?”
“that’s the thing about working for your parents,” jaehyun said without looking up, giving his undivided attention to your legs as he yanked your skirt off. “what are the odds that they’ll fire their only son?”
“oh,” you said. he did look damn fine in that burgundy uniform, but you would’ve liked to see him without it on.
the more naked you became, jaehyun saw the way you shuddered nervously, and chuckled quietly to himself. “you’ve never done this before.”
he wasn’t asking. that was clear by his tone. it was an astute observation that you couldn’t even deny.
you frowned. “is it obvious?”
“a little bit,” jaehyun replied honestly, smiling at you. “i was a virgin before, too.”
you grinned bashfully. not a second later, your eyes made the mistake of glancing down and getting a eyeful of the imprint of his dick, and you looked away, swallowing the lump in your throat. “i don’t mind kissing assholes, but they say that your body is a temple, and i’ve never met anyone worthy, i guess.”
jaehyun raised a brow and pressed, “until now?”
that made you chuckle. jaehyun was very good at reading in between the lines, like you. “until now,” you repeated. “you’re my first.”
“and hopefully your last,” jaehyun flirted.
the stupidest smile was on your face. it was a foolish thing to hope, all things considered, but it made you feel pined after. “jaehyun, what was your first time like?” you asked.
jaehyun seemed a little grim when he heard your question, but before you could apologize for potentially overstepping, he replied, “it was with someone i had been with for a very long time, and thought i would be with forever.”
there was no doubt in your mind that it had been someone jaehyun loved and lost, and you couldn’t help but feel for him. 
not wanting the mood to shift, jaehyun quickly changed the topic back to you, and everything he wanted to do to you. “trust me,” he said. “i’m going to do everything i can to make sure that even if you go, you never forget me.”
you barely had time to respond before jaehyun tugged your panties away, dragging a pair of fingers through your wet folds. you made a tiny noise as he used them to gauge how wet you were. dissatisfied, he sank to his knees, lips meeting your folds. 
jaehyun darted his tongue out, circling your sensitive clit immediately after. you hadn’t expected the sensation to be so sharp, especially so soon, and you gasped, thighs tensing together. jaehyun got a hold of them and kept them apart as he pleased, making you take every second. 
“jae,” you rasped, unable to get his full name out. 
jaehyun grinned, lips curling against your pussy. damn, you were a sensitive one. if you were reacting like this already, what would you do when he got inside you?
you squirmed as jaehyun continued to go down on you, but it was useless. he was so strong, holding you in place as your body reacted to every single swipe of his tongue against your bundle of nerves. it was too much stimulation and yet jaehyun didn’t seem to be bothered, thriving on your pleasure.
god, every sound you made was a whimper of jaehyun’s name. he couldn’t deny that it made his dick twitch in his underwear, aching to be buried balls deep inside you, but he was holding out for your sake. as badly as he wanted to fuck you senseless, he wanted your first time together to be unforgettable for the right reasons even more.
if he didn’t, what would make him any different from those assholes you let kiss you purely to make some kind of rebellious statement?
jaehyun didn’t want to be a statement, the thing you fell back to after all else had failed. he wanted to be the answer, the one to stitch you back together, the one you crashed into when the tides got high.
you had never felt anything like this before in your entire life. of course, there had been plenty times where you had gotten yourself off, but you had never known pleasure of this magnitude until now. your own hands had nothing on jaehyun’s and his damn skilled mouth.
jaehyun liked how sensitive your body was. it was all too easy to get a reaction out of you, and he was so attracted to how you couldn’t help but respond to every suck and lick, shuddering in his grasp without control.
“jaehyun, i can’t…,” you trailed, fingers desperate to clasp something, to anchor yourself. you would have wound them through his hair, but you were afraid of accidentally hurting him, and settled for the sheets.
“yes, you can,” he said, pulling away from your dripping cunt for a few seconds. “you’re doing good, baby. cum on my tongue.”
it felt as if you were going to burst from the inside and you didn’t really want him to stop, regardless of how incessant the pleasure was. no matter how hard you tried, it was impossible to keep still. you wanted more than you knew your body could handle.
to say nothing of the fact that jaehyun was doing everything in his power to drag you to your breaking point. he knew exactly what to do to have you crying out his name. for a moment or three, he had you convinced that he was everything you ever wanted. now, it was too hard to think.
in a matter of minutes, you were coming undone with a whimper so sharp you were certain your temporary neighbor would come knocking on the door.
“that’s it,” jaehyun crooned with the slyest fucking grin on his face, replacing his tongue with a pair of hefty fingers.
you tried to shove his hand away, the stimulation tearing you to shreds, but jaehyun was keen on breaking you down until you couldn’t be destroyed any further. until he had ruined you for any other man.
your bare chest heaved violently as you fought to catch your breath, blinking a couple times to clear the wet daze of your eyes. there was nothing you could do except silently gawk at jaehyun like he had singlehandedly just stolen your heart.
he finally pulled away, smugly asking, “need a break?”
after a few seconds of gathering your bearings, you rose to your knees and grabbed jaehyun by the back of his head to bring his lips to yours, pulling him down to the creaky mattress beneath you. jaehyun was surprised, but he liked how assertive you were, resting his hands at the back of your legs and letting you sink your weight onto him. 
it was criminal how good of a kisser he was. and if that didn’t already have you dripping, then the way he touched you all over would have. you felt his hard dick against your thigh and couldn’t think of a time where you had wanted anything so badly. 
“take these off,” you said to him when you pulled away from his mouth, tapping his underwear. “and i want to be on top.”
jaehyun snickered in amusement. “whatever she wants,” he said, reaching for his underwear the second you climbed off.
your mouth ran dry the moment you caught a glimpse of jaehyun’s intimidatingly thick length and you were certain that he was going to split you in half. you desperately didn’t want to come off as a shy virgin, but every second that passes made you slightly antsy.
fortunately, there was something to steal your attention away from jaehyun’s impressively large size, and your entire demeanor shifted. “wait, fuck. do you have a condom?”
“close your eyes,” jaehyun said. 
you immediately furrowed your brows, wondering what he was up to. 
noticing your wariness, jaehyun added reassuringly, “five seconds. come on, i won’t do anything weird. i promise.”
reluctance was written all over your face in a large bold font and you had your doubts, but you chose to trust him, watching the back of your eyelids and counting up to five in your head. 
when your eyes fluttered open, jaehyun was grinning like an idiot with a condom between his fingers.
you gawked, astonished. “where’d you get that from so fast - up your ass?”
jaehyun burst into laughter and only said, “a magician never reveals his secrets.”
“give me this,” you said, taking the condom packet out of his hands to tear it open. 
“bossy,” jaehyun mumbled under his breath.
that made you giggle, gingerly placing the condom over the head of his cock, and jaehyun noticed how your bottom lip stuck out when you were heavily concentrated.
you were too enamored with his dick to notice that he was staring at you as though you were the prettiest thing in the whole universe. for some odd reason, the more you looked at it, the less scary it seemed. “it’s actually kind of cute.”
jaehyun wasn’t expecting to hear those words and it completely snapped him out of his little daze. you glanced up at him when you heard him quietly snickering. “you’re something else, you know?” he asked.
“i know,” you replied, having heard many things along the lines of that statement. “you ready?”
it was ironic that you were the one asking him, but jaehyun played along anyway. “show me what you got, baby.”
you moved to straddle him again, raising yourself over his size and grabbing him in your hands to steadily lower yourself. the two of you sighed together in unison as your slick walls clamped around him.
there was one reason why you firmly chose to be on top and that was because you wanted to directly control the pace in case things got to be too much for you. you took your sweet time to sink down deeper and deeper, never too keen on doing too much too fast. in spite of the great lengths jaehyun went to prepare you, it was still a tight fit.
it felt like the wind had been knocked out of you, as if you were choking on your own breaths, and your heart was pounding louder than ever.
“that’s it, baby,” jaehyun said, gathering your soft thighs in his big hands. “is it too big for you?”
you shook your head, having your pride to protect and defend with your entire body. “no, i can take it.”
jaehyun grinned proudly. “i know you can. that’s my girl.”
now that was a sure-fire way to get you hot and bothered. your heart fluttered at the praise and you hid your smile in your elbow, tempted to ride the soul out of him.
you were maybe somewhat impressed by how deep inside of you jaehyun was and definitely plenty aroused. you had feared how far he could go, but now that your cunt was involuntarily tightening around him, gushing around him hotly, it was everything you wanted.
jaehyun was as astonished by you as you were by him, watching you take his cock like a fucking champ. you may have been fighting to let all of him inside, but you were doing a mighty good job, all things considered. there weren’t too many girls he’d had with your determination to ride.
you had finally found a comfortable pace and although there was a little pain, the rapture on your expression was something that you couldn’t deny. you were watching jaehyun watch you, noticing his face tense in a similar manner beneath you. 
and it was to die for. 
“oh my god,” you moaned, hands falling down onto his naked chest. 
jaehyun couldn’t help but think the same thing with how you were gripping him for dear life and he was barely holding it together. to say nothing of the way you were crying out his name again like it was the only word you knew. he couldn’t help but think about how nobody else had ever heard your lips part open to whimper their name. 
and he would be keeping it that way, no matter the measures he had to take to ensure he kept you in his big, strong arms. 
you leaned into jaehyun, pressing your lips to his as you fucked yourself on him. the tiny room was overwhelmed with sound, the bed creaking and your lips locking, and your bodies meeting in a loud wet smack. something about it turned you on more than you thought you were capable. 
jaehyun thought he could watch you on top of him for hours upon hours. his hands wandered to your breasts as you kissed him, tenderly fondling them and brushing his thumbs over your stiff tits. you were riding him into the night like there was no tomorrow, like you had something to prove, and he loved every second of it.
the softest of whimpers escaped your mouth when you pulled back, brushing your hair behind your ears. you couldn’t fathom the ecstasy hanging over you, blindsiding you. maybe it was in your head, but you swore you could feel him in the pit of your stomach, and you didn’t know whether that was normal or not.
jaehyun affectionately gathered your hands in his, holding them as you desperately tried to anchor yourself and make sense of the many things you were feeling at once.
it wasn’t an overstatement to say that you were seeing stars. you and jaehyun were getting each other off, every guttural sound he made taking you to the moon, and every twist your face made sending him crashing into the atmosphere.
you were flush against him, kneading his cock perfectly, and that made jaehyun mumble curses underneath his breath. “goddamn, beautiful. slow down,” he said.
but you didn’t want to slow down the pace, you only wanted to keep the fire burning. you laughed breathlessly and teased, “why? is it too much for you?”
jaehyun chuckled and swore as he closed his eyes, not wanting to admit that you were unraveling him quicker than he’d expected. if this was your first time, why did it feel like you were deflowering him, exposing him to a kind of euphoria that was unlike anything he had felt before. 
he had been intent on dragging things out, but you were making him weak underneath your fingertips. damn, he wanted to thrust his hips up into yours, but he had a feeling you wanted to take the lead, for your own sake. 
“maybe it is,” jaehyun confessed, much to your surprise. “maybe you’re getting me off too fast and it’s hurting my pride.”
“cum, baby,” you whispered sultrily, wanting to see a guy like him fold under pressure. it would be like making a grown man cry. “i want to see it.”
jaehyun sucked in a breath at those words, accepting his fate. you were bringing him closer to the end and there was nothing that he could do about it, even if he wanted to.
you were glistening in coats of sweat from head to toe, and your thighs were starting to ache, but all you had to do was hold on for a little while longer. it was obvious that jaehyun wasn’t far from the finish line, and in truth, neither were you.
it didn’t help that jaehyun was unintentionally imagining things that would get him off sooner. thoughts of you were all that occupied him, picturing how it feel to fuck you raw and hard, holding you squarely beneath him. you were pretty on top of him, but he was enamored with how you had squirmed and cried out underneath him, too.
you had forgotten about everything else in the entire world while you rode jaehyun to the ends of it and back. no part of you thought about your hectic life back home, about the life you’d planned in boston, and everything in between.
the only thing on your mind was jaehyun and in spite of being totally consumed by something, it was the most peaceful your thoughts had been in months.
you could feel jaehyun’s eyes rooted on you and glanced down to meet his gaze, noticing him smiling up at you. when he looked at you like that, he made you feel so wanted. you were naked and bare in front of him, in a literal sense, and he’d accepted every piece of you.
“what are you smiling at, silly?” you asked in between thick breaths. 
“you,” jaehyun replied, like it was obvious. “you’re so damn beautiful, you know. i could fuck you forever.”
not wanting to show how much that had gotten to you, you quipped, “i think i’m the one doing the fucking here.”
jaehyun chuckled, and you thought it was because of what you had said, but he had felt you pulsing around his cock, and he was amused by how easy it was.
the room was getting hotter than ever and it was becoming harder to breathe with the stuffy air. you almost thought that your skin was on fire, and you were scalding on the inside. you were going even harder now, chasing relief.
jaehyun was losing his self-control and he couldn’t help but lift his hips into yours, making you gasp loudly. your head leaned back as you both rocked your hips, desperately trying to finish yourselves.
“jay,” you cried out again, tightening your hold on your hands to ground yourself like you thought you might fly off somewhere.
“i’m right here, darling,” jaehyun crooned, holding your hands firmly. “i’m not going anywhere.”
you nodded your head, trusting him, giving in to him. 
everything after that was almost a blur. the rapture had you lightheaded, and all you remembered was the heat spitting through your core and your toes curling. 
but jaehyun remembered so much more than that. he could picture the exact look on your face that did it for him, unraveling him, sending him cursing at the stars. the tremble that shuddered through his thighs as his cock twitched. he remembered the way your pussy throttled him as you orgasmed, moaning his name. 
when it was over, you collapsed onto his chest, panting and heaving as if you had ran a marathon together. 
neither of you made a move to shift positions for a long while, jaehyun simply admiring the feeling of your bodies sticking together. “are you okay?”
you weakly nodded your head. that word was an understatement, but you didn’t have the strength in your bones to muster a better one yet. few pleasures came close to the kind you were currently reaping the afterhighs of. 
god, you weren’t stupid enough to throw everything away for some boy you’d just met, but he made you want to. 
jaehyun preciously kissed your neck and shoulders. “go to the bathroom,” he whispered. “i’ll go in after you.”
“okay,” you replied obediently, starting to peel yourself off him, until you had a thought. “are you gonna stay?”
jaehyun’s brows furrowed. “do you want me to stay?”
of course, you did. you had just lost your virginity to him in the best way possible, exposed yourself to him in a way no one else had ever seen, including yourself. not only that, but considering you were a young girl in the middle of essentially nowhere, being around a kindhearted, strong guy made you feel safer.
“please,” you said, wanting to be nowhere else but in his arms for the meantime. 
jaehyun smiled and kissed you again, the corner of your mouth this time. “okay, but i have to leave early in the morning. i can’t slack off forever.”
you did the same, throwing your arms around his neck, before bringing your lips to his neck and whispering, “couldn’t you?”
“you drive me insane, woman,” jaehyun groaned, sensing himself getting riled up again. 
you giggled, finally crawling off him and heading towards the bathroom, but not before demanding, “don’t move.”
jaehyun had no place else that he’d rather be, even if he was in some moderately crappy motel that was understaffed and a playground to creeps. you were there, so it might as well have been like home.
when you returned to the room, jaehyun was still there, only he had disposed of the condom now and he was no longer naked. he went in after you, like he said he would, and came back to also find you redressed.
well, sort of. beyond putting back on your bra and panties, your efforts were a little more nonexistent.
“well, now i feel overdressed,” was the first thing jaehyun said when he came back. 
you burst into giggles. “because you are.”
with that, jaehyun stripped down to his undershirt and boxers and came to join you on the bed, melting into your side. he couldn’t help but steal a few more kisses, completely under your spell now. 
the two of you got comfortable. it was clear that jaehyun had no intention of returning to work tonight and had the motel been busier, you would’ve urged him back to his shift. rose creek would be fine without him for a few hours, maybe longer.
you were more important, and jaehyun seemed to think so too, eager to know you better. “so,” he started. “does your family know you’re in connecticut right now?”
you couldn’t help but laugh. “hell no. as far as they know, i just vanished in the middle of the night. i didn’t tell them i was going to boston, either. i probably should’ve picked somewhere down south, or on the west coast, but i don’t think they’d bother looking.”
jaehyun frowned the more he heard your words, displeased by how much strife it seemed you had with your own blood. “why not? disobedient soul or not, you’re still their flesh.”
try telling them that, please, you thought, but didn’t say. “because i’m the black sheep,” you explained. “i’m the child that didn’t want to be a doctor or a lawyer.”
“what do you want to be?” jaehyun asked, pulling you closer. looking at you as if he genuinely wanted to know.
it surprised you, because rarely did you meet anyone who seemed to have cared. “a vet,” you grumbled, feeling stupid.
“now that’s a surprise,” jaehyun replied, voice dripping with sarcasm. and when you smiled an inch, he felt like he was getting somewhere. “but i think it suits you. you’d be a great vet.”
your cheeks were burning. it was embarrassing and heartwarming at the same time to have your aspirations validated for once. it was too strange for you and you said, “i’m talking about myself too much. what about you? you said this was part-time. do you have a full-time job?”
“to be honest, i haven’t really worked a lot since i graduated. my parents own a lot of property in the state and this is just one of them. the others are better, i promise,” jaehyun said.
for some reason, that made a lot of sense. jaehyun seemed a little too extravagant for this sort of environment. “you know, that clears up a lot questions i had about you. but then, why work here instead of someplace better?”
“in case you haven’t noticed, hardly anyone comes out here.”
you snickered to yourself when you realized the appeal of working here for a guy like jaehyun. fewer crowds, fewer interactions, and more excuses to be sleeping around with pretty girls instead of legitimately working.
“but i do work for certain things. i didn’t have everything handed to me,” jaehyun said to clarify. “i’ve been trying to settle down. i know it doesn’t look like it right now, but i have. and i want to give my future family everything.”
that didn’t surprise you either, but it did garner your attention. “oh?”
jaehyun nodded. “yup. my parents have been begging me to bring a girl home for three, four years now. they said that they know i’ll be married someday, but they’re not as confident that they’ll be around to see it.”
considering that jaehyun did come across as slow and steady, for the most part at least, you laughed, because the only reason they weren’t right to be unconfident was jaehyun’s good looks and charming personality. 
you tossed an arm over him, peering into his eyes. “what’s stopping you?”
jaehyun shrugged. if he had it his way, he would’ve brought someone home forever ago, but he’d found that few things went according to plan in his love life. “haven’t found the one, i guess.”
that was fair. you wanted a family too someday, but never in your life had you met somebody that you would let do more than kiss you, until jaehyun. 
“the thing with love is that it’s trial and error,” jaehyun told you, coming from a place of obvious experience. “so many girls i thought were perfect, until they showed me their true colors. and it hurts to cut them loose, but you have to.”
“i wouldn’t know,” you mumbled. “i’ve never been in love.”
jaehyun’s eyes fell down to your gorgeous hand that was resting above his happy trail and smiled to himself. “you will be, i’m sure. i think love is out there for all of us, patiently waiting.”
you furrowed your brows, like those were the last words you expected to here out of his mouth. “so, you’re one of those.”
the look on jaehyun’s face matched yours. “one of what?”
“a hopeless romantic,” you sighed, but there was a smile on your face. 
jaehyun laughed. “i guess you could say that, but i just tell people that i’m ambitious.”
“well, mister ambitious,” you said, stifling a yawn. “i’m sleepy, and you’ve worn me out for one day. promise to tell me more about yourself tomorrow?”
jaehyun nodded, then leaned in to kiss your cheek. “i promise. i get off early tomorrow, so we’ll have more time together. goodnight, baby.”
“goodnight, jaehyun,” you whispered, snuggling into his chest.
like he couldn’t get enough of you, jaehyun gave you one final kiss on your forehead before he turned off the lamp on the nightstand. he had his arms around you, your back flush against his chest, and you stayed that way until night’s end.
it was some of the best sleep you’d gotten in a long time. being in jaehyun’s arms made you feel comfortable, protected. you weren’t certain why, but it was like no harm could reach you there. you were untouchable and you didn’t have to worry about anything.
when you woke up, you were surprised to still find him there, barely awake himself. “you’re still here?” you asked, unexpectant.
jaehyun grinned at you when you turned to rest your head on his chest and replied groggily, “i thought i’d stay to hear your pretty voice one more time before i left.”
you rolled your eyes at his obvious flirting, but there was a huge beaming smile on your face and you were kissing him affectionately merely seconds later.
one thing lead to another. you swore you didn’t know how it happened. slow, sweet kisses were met by languid, intentional touches, until jaehyun was on top of you, fucking every bit of sleepiness out of your body.
the tiniest moans escaped you as jaehyun rocked his hips into you, slow and gentle, and you clung onto his forearms to anchor yourself back down to earth. he was whispering dirty little nothings in your ear, telling you how good you were to him, unraveling by the minute. 
it just felt too good having him inside you, filling you to the hilt and making your bodies seem inseparable. you loved being tangled together, limb to limb, pleasuring each other like there was no other option. it was the first time you had craved someone so desperately. 
you didn’t want to get out of bed when he was gone. you had all the energy in the world, but you were unfathomably sore. somehow, in a good way. you liked feeling the traces of jaehyun in your bones long after he had slipped away. 
deciding not to rot in bed while you waited for him to return, you got up to take a shower and rinse away the scent of sex from your body. it would be a while, anyway. jaehyun had mentioned something about going back to his place for a minute. 
part of you wanted to feel guilty for keeping him overnight, but you couldn’t. not when you knew that he had enjoyed it as much as you had. you wanted jaehyun, and he wanted you. there were no doubts. 
drying off, you noticed that you had used the last towel and you would need more to cover the last two days of your extended stay here. you got dressed and headed down to the main lobby, requesting some from the guy that had been working the desk since you got there. 
you leaned against the wall while you waited, your thoughts naturally wandering off to jaehyun and his handsome face and stupidly adorable dimples. and maybe his unthinkably talented cock, but only for a second or two. maybe three.
it was strange that he had been the only thing you knew your entire time here, and even then, you barely knew him. under different circumstances, you would have wanted to know all there was to know about jaehyun. you would always remember him, even when he was forever gone. 
“those towels you wanted,” said the guy working the desk, snapping you out of your daydream. 
you walked up to the desk, smiling kindly as you accepted them. “thank you. sorry for the inconvenience.”
“it’s fine. have a good day,” he replied, smiling back suspiciously wide. 
you didn’t comment on it, wishing him the same and heading for the door. 
before you could reach it though, you heard his voice again. “by the way, i heard you getting it good when i was making my rounds,” he told you slyly. “how much for the inconvenience?”
dickhead, you thought. your smile dropped and you switched on a dime, shooting him a hefty glare. “i’m not for sale,” you grumbled, storming the fuck out of there. 
god, why were the interactions you had with men at this motel getting increasingly weirder? had not jaehyun been keeping you around, you would have been on the next train to boston days ago. 
you were angry as hell at being propositioned for sex by some random stranger, but you tried to let it go. although you would definitely be ranting to jaehyun about it later. speaking of, on the way back to your room, you noticed the door to one a few rooms down was ajar. 
it was frequented by jaehyun, you’d accidentally noticed. sometimes, you would see him come and go, way too often for any customers to be staying there.
you didn’t mean to pry. you had only gone up to check if he had already arrived, but there was no sight of him anywhere. the one thing that was clear was that he spent a hell of a lot of time here.
there weren’t too many things, considering he didn’t live there, but there were a couple of uneaten snacks sitting on the table. and a purple hair tie that you barely paid any mind to. on the nightstand, there was a framed picture of jaehyun with some girl you’d never seen.
it seemed like they were pretty close, all things considered. he had an arm wound tightly around her, and her head was resting on his shoulder. you weren’t jealous, especially considering he looked nearly a decade younger in the picture, and you instead found it cute that he looked so different and not at the same time. 
given the different trends at the time, his hair was in a completely different style. his cheeks were a little rounder. but he still had the same silly, goofy smile. 
realizing what you were doing was definitely a major invasion of privacy, you scurried out of there with your towels and headed back to your room to restock. 
jaehyun came knocking way too many hours later, but the second you heard, you leapt up, swinging the door open and throwing them around his shoulders. “what took you so long?” you asked sullenly. 
jaehyun was pleasantly surprised by the abrupt display of affection, embracing you. “i decided to get everything done so that i could come straight to you, and didn’t have to leave.”
well, that made sense. when you pulled back, you noticed that he wasn’t in his uniform for a change. “this is my first time seeing you in normal person’s clothes. you look different. good different.”
“thanks, beautiful,” he replied, sticking his hands in his pockets. “may i come in?”
you stepped to the side, letting him enter, and shut the door behind him. 
jaehyun seemed amused when he noticed the television was on, showing some anthropology program he had never watched. “did i interrupt?”
it took you a second to realize what he meant, but when you did, you were all giggles. “no, you’re way more important.”
jaehyun was glad to hear that. “by the way, did you have fun sneaking into my room?”
the sudden accusation startled you, but you didn’t deny what you had done. he somehow clearly already knew that you’d nosed around, and you weren’t one to make excuses nor lie. “that was rude. i should’ve asked for your permission. i’m sorry.”
something about your sincerity made jaehyun smile and wave it off. “it’s fine. i don’t have anything to hide.”
either way, you still felt a little guilty. you wanted to ask him who that girl in the picture was, but you decided that you’d done enough snooping.
noticing the shame on your face, jaehyun beckoned you over, commanding, “come here.” and when you promptly did as told, he smoothed his fingers through your hair and reassured, “i told you, it’s fine. forget about it. now, talk to me.”
you melted into jaehyun’s touch, and forgave yourself, forgetting about what you had done, forgetting about all of the awful parts of your day that were no longer relevant now that you were comfortable in jaehyun’s arms.
minutes turned into hours before you were ready for them to, and you almost couldn’t believe how easily you had made a friend out of jaehyun. he was just so easy to talk to, getting you to confess about your less than happy past and chat about your hopes for the future like you were lifelong buddies.
and to your surprise, he made no attempt to try and sleep with you that night. it seemed that jaehyun was fully intent on getting to know you for the young woman that you were.
every now and then, you got the feeling that he was more into you than it was safe for him to be, and more than you could fathom him being so quickly, and knowing that you would be leaving soon, it crushed you. no part of you wanted to see his face when it was time to say goodbye.
but when you woke up the next day, you were smiling. jaehyun had slipped away, something about having errands to run unrelated to work, and you were counting down the seconds until he would come back. 
it was your last full day together.
the thought saddened and excited you all at once, overwhelming you to the core. you had convinced yourself that although jaehyun had made you feel something nobody else ever had, you would move on the second you got a step closer to bringing your dreams to fruition. but until then, you were a little heartbroken.
you had to be real with yourself for a second. could there be a way for a guy almost a decade older than you to be someone you spent the better half of your life with?
you didn’t think so. you and jaehyun led different lives. and while you hoped he would soon find the girl he had long dreamed of, you knew that she wasn’t you. 
who were you to keep him down, when he could be searching for her?
not to mention you weren’t even ready for such large of a commitment. you wanted to complete school and graduate, eight years of your life at least that you would be hard at work, studying your ass off. jaehyun struck you as the marriage and kids kind of boy, none of which you were prepared for.
he’ll be fine. you’re acting like he’s in love with you or something, you told yourself, sitting on your empty bed. there was no way someone as handsome as jaehyun hadn’t had his fair share of short-term flings.
at some point, you quickly became bored of waiting and decided to go on your phone, which you shockingly hadn’t been giving much attention lately. there were some texts from your friends, the only ones you had mentioned connecticut to, and you promptly messaged them back. 
there weren’t any notifications from your family, but whether that was only because you blocked them or not, you didn’t know. 
then, you opened google and started to search random questions, as you often did when there was nothing more exhilarating to do. you had a couple of questions about toothbrushes, a word your friend had sent that you had never seen before, and finally, the motel itself.
you didn’t know why you hadn’t googled any information about it sooner. most likely because you didn’t think you would be welcomed for so long, but either way, it should’ve been one of the first things you’d done.
out of weary curiosity, you typed the name of the motel into your search engine, and the first thing you saw was a picture of the front exterior.
the next thing you saw, however, was a little more appalling. there was a news article from a little more than a month ago reporting the death of a girl named alyssa gardner.
rose creek, named in memory of rose bellori who was found there after being tragically murdered thirty-eight years ago, suffers another victims, says local police department. twenty-four year old alyssa gardner was found in the creek three weeks after being reported missing. her last known location prior to her murder was rose creek motel, according to her bank statements.
once you read the first sentence, you couldn’t stop, remembering what that old man had told you about the bodies that turned up in the creek. and as you continued to look into the murder, you froze, reading something about how she had last been wearing a purple hair tie.
there had been a purple hair tie in jaehyun’s room, you remembered, because it was on the table beside the snacks. it could have been a coincidence, but although his hair was long enough, you had never seen jaehyun tie up his hair.
now you had to know. there was a picture of alyssa wearing the tie and it was so specific, there was no way you wouldn’t know if they were the same just by looking. but you had no clue how you would get in there. after your invasion yesterday, there was no way jaehyun would reasonably make the mistake of leaving it open again, even if he claimed to have nothing to hide.
you slipped on your shoes, brainstorming on your way to the room, considering jaehyun wouldn’t have been back for a few hours, according to himself. your first thought was the guy at the front desk, but if he did do you a favor, he would want something in return that wasn’t cheap. nor were you selling.
fortunately, another man started to walk by, an employee, judging by his uniform. “excuse me, sir,” you said, donning your most helpless voice. “is there a way you could help me get in this room? i left my key inside by mistake.”
obviously believing you, the man said, “yeah, of course. i have a general key card right here.”
and just that easily, he opened the door for you. 
“thank you so much,” you told him, expressing your gratitude before closing the door to jaehyun’s room behind yourself. 
you felt bad for lying, but your gut was screaming at you right now and you were tempted to trust her now more than ever. you raced to the table, shoving the snack box out of the way, and gawking in horror when you found what you were looking for.
it was the purple hair tie, and not only was it the exact same color and design as you had seen in the picture, but there were traces of hair on it that didn’t match the dark color on jaehyun’s head.
you backed away, the blood freezing over in your veins. the shock was too cruel, too icy, and there were a billion thoughts racing through your mind. 
but at the forefront of them all, you were thinking, i’ve got to get the fuck out of here.
you stepped out of the room, clearing the hallway before you made a beeline for yours, making a call and shoving your things into your suitcase. you weren’t supposed to be leaving until tomorrow, but you figured it was in your best interest to escape before things had the opportunity to go wrong.
there was no time to think about how your judgment could have been so awful, because all you wanted to do was go far, far away from this place, where you would finally be safe from all the things in this world that wanted to hurt you.
the second your belongings were packed, you checked out at the front desk, noticing that the dude from yesterday was strangely no longer there, replaced by a woman you had never seen before. but you didn’t ask questions, didn’t press.
because the second you were free to go, you were dragging your suitcase to the road and praying that uber would get here before jaehyun could.
until you felt something cold pressing into your back, and every bone in your body went stiff. “leaving without saying goodbye?” asked a familiar voice, coming out of nowhere. 
tears began to sting your eyes, fear making your blood run cold. you couldn’t see him, but your whole body knew who it was. “please.”
“let’s take a walk,” jaehyun said nonchalantly, pointing with the hand that wasn’t discreetly holding a gun to your back.
given the circumstances, there was no way in hell that you wouldn’t do as told. you walked to the right of the motel with your suitcase in tow, far out of sight of any cameras that might’ve been privy to your predicament, willing yourself to breathe lest you fell apart then and there.
it had never been more of a struggle to walk, and it was like you had nearly forgotten how to put one foot in front of the other. your brain was hyper aware of the weapon not even an inch away from you.
through your blurry vision, you could make out a car coming into view. jaehyun asked, “do you have your license?” 
you nodded, afraid to speak. 
“good. this suitcase could’ve been you,” jaehyun said, taking the suitcase out of your hands to throw into the trunk. “you’re driving.”
you swallowed the lump in your throat. it terrified you how indifferent jaehyun seemed, walking you over to the driver’s side of the car and opening the door for you, meanwhile you looked as if you had seen a ghost.
only when he got in on the other side did he hand over the keys, still pointing the gun at you and calmly ordering, “drive. i’ll tell you where to go.”
and that was exactly what he did, telling you directions as you made every turn he told you to, not that there were very many.
every second was spent fighting tears and trying to keep your thoughts from racing. you could’ve never seen something like this coming. you had felt so safe, so secure around jaehyun, and now he was threatening you with a weapon.
god, you didn’t even want to think about what he was going to do to you. would he murder you in cold blood like that girl in the news article?
your first thought was to try and coax your way out of it. as if killers listened to logic and reasoning, outside of their own. “jaehyun, you don’t have to do this. you can let me go.”
jaehyun laughed, although you were dead serious. “so that you can go straight to the police? or worse, leave me here by myself?”
“it doesn’t have to be like that,” you whispered. “i like you a lot, jaehyun.”
“i like you a lot, too. that’s why i have to do this, darling.”
“i don’t understand.”
“i know,” jaehyun replied coolly. “it’ll all make sense soon.”
that statement didn’t make you feel any better. instead, you were enveloped by a deep feeling of cold dread, sensing that the worst had yet to come and you needed to brace yourself for the inevitable.
no more than thirty minutes of driving later, jaehyun told you to pull into the driveway of some house along the creek. you wanted to scream when he pulled you out of the car, but the house you were at was isolated from the rest of the world. nobody would have ever heard you even if the cry came from the very tip of your lungs.
but you noticed that he had left his gun in the car. 
you tried to break out of his grasp, but jaehyun was tremendously stronger than you, and he didn’t seem to like your actions much, hissing, “i don’t want to hurt you, but don’t think i won’t.”
no part of you believed that he didn’t want to hurt you, not even for a second. “let me go. i want to go home!”
“no, you don’t,” jaehyun shot back, tightening his clasp on your bicep. “you want to be anywhere but there. don’t act like i haven’t been doing you a favor.”
“don’t act like you know me,” you snapped, still trying to wrest your way out of his hold. 
jaehyun laughed, but it was mirthless. “honey, i do know you. you told me enough about you. i know what you like, and what you don’t like, and how vicious your parents are to you. i know that you don’t ever want to go back home.”
you didn’t know what was worse between being here right now and being home, and that thought made ache spring into your chest ravishingly. 
“i should’ve known you’d find out sooner than i’d hoped,” jaehyun said. “you’re a smart woman, but that’s one of the many things i love about you.”
tears continued to well your eyes, but they were angry now. “let go of me!”
jaehyun began to become exasperated, dragging you over to the edge of the creek, but you didn’t stop demanding to be freed, flailing and thrashing. 
not until you finally exclaimed, “if you’re going to kill me, then kill me already!”
to your surprise, that made jaehyun root in place for a moment or two. “i think you’re confused.”
you were glaring up at him. “wasn’t that your plan?”
for an unsettling amount of time, jaehyun just stared at you emptily. then, he began to laugh heartily, amused to no end. “now why on earth would i want to do that?” he asked.
you said nothing, startled and baffled altogether.
jaehyun smiled at you. the sight warmed your heart no more than a day ago, but now, you were thoroughly unnerved. “baby, you’re perfect. you’re everything i’ve ever wanted. you may be a little younger than i usually go for, but maybe that’s where i went wrong. with you, it’s not too late to fix the little things. like all this resistance.”
nothing could have prepared you for the sudden change in him, for him to throw you to the ground and submerge your head underneath the water of the creek.
it felt and sounded like the whole world had stopped for a moment before the panic started to settle in cruelly, and you inhaled more water than you had been prepared to. your body desperately missed air, and every time it tried to breathe, only more water entered your mouth. 
when jaehyun yanked you back up by your hair, you spat out a load of water, and began to cough. he asked, “learn your lesson?”
you said nothing. you couldn’t at that point. 
jaehyun took it as defiance and lowered your head back underneath the water again, giving you no time to recover from the previous plunge, and your entire body fought against it, but your efforts were in vain. 
and like before, he pulled you up and asked, “learn your lesson?”
“fuck you,” you spat as belligerently as you could between breaths, even though it hurt to talk. 
jaehyun said nothing, throwing your head back down. 
at this point, your lungs were scorching and your nose was burning. your chest was smoldering with pain and panic and everything in between. helpless, your mind was begging for mercy, but the more you prayed for the water to escape, the more you inhaled.
your muscles were screaming for air and you genuinely thought that you were going to die, that this was the end. you would never know the life you had long dreamed of, the life you had risked everything to have, and the one you had always wanted.
it felt like an eternity had passed when jaehyun brought you back up to the surface and asked you again boredly, “learn your lesson?”
you said nothing, spitting out more bursts of water and gasping for breaths that burned your throat.
jaehyun was about to submerge you again, but at the very last second, you blurted, “okay, okay! i’m sorry. i learned my lesson!”
“good,” jaehyun said, pulling you up and dusting his hands off. “let’s go inside.”
you didn’t dare disobey, letting him lead you inside the house, which you assumed he owned. there wasn’t any time to marvel at the sheer beauty of it before he was tugging you downstairs to the basement where there was already a mattress waiting for you. 
whether that had been prepared for you, or leftovers from the last victim, you didn’t want to know.
jaehyun took one look at your flushed, tear-stained face and softened. he brought a finger to your cheek, but you lurched away from him, like a startled animal in a cage. which, to be fair, wasn’t too far from the truth. 
he frowned. “i wish you didn’t have to be so nosy, baby. i didn’t want you to see me any differently than before.”
it’s too late for that, you huffed to yourself. you fell to the ground beside the mattress, hugging your knees.
jaehyun glanced down at you sighing, debating coming over to join you, but decided against it. for now. “but you don’t have to worry anymore. you’re safe with me. nothing can hurt you as long as i’m here. god, i’ve made sure of it. it angered me to no end when i saw that guy in the lobby flirting with you.”
you immediately remembered what had happened in that lobby, something you had been intent to mention to him but forgot, and the blood drained from your face. “what did you do to him?” you asked. 
“what do you think?”
you shook your head. no wonder there had been another person working the front desk earlier. you hugged your knees tighter and cried, “he was just some jerk, jaehyun. you didn’t need to kill him.”
“yes, i did. i would kill anyone who ever dare dreamed of touching you,” jaehyun insisted darkly.
now that you thought about it even harder, there was no reason for jaehyun to even know that that whole ordeal went down in the first place. he hadn’t been there when it happened. you slowly glanced up, asking, “how did you… know?”
jaehyun chuckled. “because i’ve been watching you, silly. how else?”
no shame, no guilt. he seemed proud of himself, grinning from ear to ear. the sight made you sick, but not as sick as it did to know that he had been essentially spying on you in his free time. you remembered, only a few days ago, asking him if the cameras were really functioning.
your stomach churned. that was why he always seemed to know where you were, to always drop into the places you were. that was how he knew you has been in his room, and how he knew you were fleeing.
even though you felt like vomiting the more information you learned, you needed to know the truth. “why did you kill that girl?”
“which one?” jaehyun asked, which made your heart stop in absolute terror. “if you’re talking about alyssa, i found out she was addicted to drugs. god, everything was going so smoothly until all of that.”
if you could’ve convinced yourself that you were only in a nightmare, you would have, but the pain in your chest and throat was too aggressive. “i bet you killed that girl in the picture too,” you replied hoarsely.
jaehyun’s eyes darkened, but it was less anger and more of a morose kind of emotion. “no, that’s not true. she died in a car accident.”
given the pain tensing his features, you believed him, but you couldn’t bring yourself to have any sympathy.
jaehyun continued, “we were eighteen and we had just graduated. she was the girl everyone wanted me to be with, and the one i thought would always be with. then one day, she was just gone. i’ll never forget getting that phone call in the middle of the night.”
the words he used made you remember something. you had asked him what his first time was like, and jaehyun had told you something along the lines of it being with someone he thought he would spend forever with.
that was her, the girl he had loved and lost. 
“i’m sorry you went through that,” you whispered, feeling as though you were obligated to console him in some way. 
“i am, too,” jaehyun mumbled. “but life goes on. and i found you. god, you don’t know how many times i had to go through this to find you, but it’s over now. you remind me of her a lot.”
you froze in your own skin, suddenly having an epiphany. you didn’t understand before, why jaehyun was doing all this, but it was all coming together now.
life may have moved on, but jaehyun had not. instead of getting over the girl he had lost so many years ago, he was trying to recreate her, to get her back in some sick, twisted way. you would be the vessel needed to resuscitate her, and the girls before you were the other candidates that didn’t meet the mark. 
he had told you that. not outright, but it was what he’d meant, and the confession went right over your head. so many girls i thought were perfect, until they showed me their true colors. and it hurts to cut them loose, but you have to.
jaehyun wasn’t killing girls out of some sadistic hatred. matter of fact, he didn’t even want to kill them, but he felt obligated to eliminate the unworthy. he was killing because they ultimately didn’t meet his standards.
which implied that someway, somehow, you did. as he put it, you were everything he’d ever wanted. 
“why me?” you asked, rubbing your eyes clear of tears.
jaehyun at last approached you, and although you wanted to back away and hide, there was nowhere for you to go. “easy. from what you’ve told me, you’re the black sheep of your family. you didn’t even tell them where you were going. nobody is going to look for you. nobody will miss you. you’re perfect.”
those words were crueler than he intended for them to be, but jaehyun wanted to be truthful with you, because that was the key to a long-lasting relationship. he wouldn’t hide from you, and he wouldn’t allow you to hide from him. you would be perfectly honest with each other.
“we’re going to have kids together someday,” jaehyun rambled, holding your cheeks in his hands gingerly, almost with affection. “i’m going to take you to meet my parents, and they’re going to love you, because i love you. and we’re going to stay in this house.”
you glanced around. “here?”
jaehyun sported a beaming smile. “it’s perfect, isn’t it? you love nature, and we’ll live right here along the creek. it’ll be just like how you grew up, except you’ll be accepted here.”
perfect, you repeated in your head bitterly. jaehyun seemed to be as obsessed with that word as he was with you. he couldn’t stop saying it, and that revealed even more about his intentions the more he used it.
noticing the tension in your face, jaehyun squeezed your hand and tried to console you. “don’t worry, i’m not going to keep you from your dreams. but you’re going to stay in this basement until you understand that you belong to me, and i belong to you.”
“i’m not your fucking property,” you hissed with unadulterated vitriol.
obviously, jaehyun was growing exhausted of having to put up with your less than meek behavior, and before you could apologize, he hauled you up and tossed you onto the bed. you made a tiny, broken noise when he began to squeeze your throat instead. “i will whip you into shape if i have to,” jaehyun growled. “i will fuck you into shape, everyday, if that’s what it takes, dear. i already made up my mind. you’re mine and i won’t let anyone else have you.”
your throat still ached from the pain of nearly drowning three times over, sorely pleading for quiet remorse, but jaehyun was nothing short of committed. he would stop at nothing to bend you into submission, no matter the price needed, because when he wanted something enough, there was nobody that could tell him that it wasn’t his for the reaping.
not his parents, not you, not anyone.
true to his word, jaehyun began to force one his hands underneath your pleaded skirt. he liked that you wore them, initially because he found them strangely cute on you, but now because of the easy access he had to everything he wanted.
you thrashed again enervatedly, sore from head to toe, but you told yourself endlessly that you weren’t a quitter. you couldn’t let him break you, not until he had broken all the fight out of you first. it would go against everything you stood for, everything you believed.
“behave,” jaehyun said. “behave, or you’ll only make it worse on yourself.”
you roared expletives into his palm that jaehyun couldn’t understand, nor did he bother to. not after he had caught a glimpse of your precious cunt and he had already begun to imagine making sweet love to you. the lingering picture was all he could think of.
how you had gripped his biceps, brows tensing together, calling out his name and his name only. jaehyun knew you reciprocated his pining. he had seen the proof, felt it dripping and pulsing around his cock, milking his release out of him even quicker than he had hoped.
and really, honestly, jaehyun didn’t want to hurt you or cause you any needless pain. one day, you would understand that he was only doing this from of a place of love and endearment. you gasped for breath when the hand on your throat finally slackened, sucking in the sharpest one you had ever inhaled, and could feel the basement reeling.
while you were busy blinking the misty daze out of your eyes, jaehyun ran a hand between your legs, touching your clit. “jaehyun, stop,” you rasped. 
“shh, let me make you feel good,” jaehyun crooned softly in your ear. 
it was maddening that your body still reacted fondly to his deep voice and tender touches, and you hated every second of it. you resisted him, pressing your thighs together, but it took little to nothing for jaehyun to spread them apart again, and your body naturally liked his strength, too. 
still, you tried to swat his hand away. now that you knew the truth of who he was really was, what he really was, you couldn’t stand to let a monster like jaehyun to touch you. 
jaehyun sighed irritably, and the look on his face made you shudder. “you’re just going to keep being a bitch about it, aren’t you?”
he only wanted to pleasure you, for fuck’s sake. why wouldn’t you let him?
“i don’t want this,” you whimpered, peering up at jaehyun as you welled up with tears. 
“yes, you do,” jaehyun told you, as if he was trying to convince you of something you already knew wasn’t true. “you do want it. remember?”
you shook your head, defiant. “that was before. it’s different now.”
“nothing has changed between us.” 
“everything has changed!” you cried out, bursting into sobs. “you’re not who i thought you were. you… hurt me.”
“i didn’t want to. i promise that i didn’t, honey,” jaehyun whispered, pressing his lips to your forehead. “and the sooner you listen to me, the sooner i can make you feel better.”
he started to do exactly that, returning between your legs, this time sticking his face beneath your skirt. jaehyun went to town, pulling out all the stops that he remembered had you singing his praises. 
not a moment later, you slumped in defeat, too weak from your unwanted orgasm to deny him any longer. jaehyun smirked when he noticed you twitching from the aftershocks, licking his wet lips that had gotten soaked with your arousal.
“that’s it, baby,” jaehyun said, proud of himself. he liked worshiping you, and even if you didn’t want to admit it, he knew he brought you to elysian heights. “ready to take my cock?”
you shook your head wearily, but jaehyun didn’t believe you. only the day before yesterday, you had been so eager.
“come on, don’t be that way. you know you love this dick,” jaehyun said. he had never looked more sure of himself, not hesitating to step out of his clothes.
although you wanted nothing more than to defy him, to spring up and make a beeline for the nearest door, you couldn’t bring yourself to. there wasn’t even time for you to tell him to stop before jaehyun was spreading you open, prodding your entrance with the head of his cock.
and you were so wet that in spite of his size, he slipped inside with ease.
jaehyun grunted at the first push of his cock inside you, slowly coaxing his way deeper. he slipped his fingers through yours, knowing that you liked to use his hand to anchor yourself because you quickly got overwhelmed by his size.
but he noticed that each time you were taking him even better, and jaehyun liked the thought of successfully breaking you in. to him, it was the perfect fit. it was a sign that you were made for him to fuck and breed. your vice-like walls were gushing around him, kneading him, swallowing him whole. only him.
“that’s good, baby. don’t run from it,” jaehyun crooned in your ears before sealing your lips together.
jaehyun didn’t notice that you weren’t kissing him back. when his eyes were closed and he was buried some inches deep inside your pussy, it became easier to convince himself anything. because you may have denied him, but jaehyun thought the body never lied, and yours was calling out to him. 
the weight of your body rocked in tandem with his thrusts and jaehyun, wanting a better view of you, started to tug your shirt off. he already knew how to make you weak for him, sucking at your breasts.
every cry of protest you made fell on deaf ears, because all jaehyun heard was that familiar breathlessness in your voice when he was making you feel good. 
and that was more than enough to jaehyun. because if he had you, and you had him, nothing else mattered. why would you need some other guy in some faraway place when he had made you feel things you never knew you were even capable of?
he never even thought about how of those feelings he had plucked out of you, something could’ve completely overpowered any pleasant feelings you ever had.
it surprised you when jaehyun grinded to a halt and pulled out of you, but you should’ve known better than to think he was finished. “get on top of me,” jaehyun told you, overcome by memories. “i want you to ride me. like how you rode me that day.”
jaehyun had this dazed look in his eyes that made him look more dangerous and unhinged than he ever had, and that was the sole reason you were so quick to scramble on top of him, but jaehyun smiled, because he only saw it as unadulterated desire.
you grabbed his shoulders as you forced yourself to mount him, his hands slipping down to your backside, supporting you with his palms. it hadn’t been too long since they were someplace you could feel secure for the first time in a long while. and now that comfort was gone, and you had nowhere else to go, nothing else to turn to but yourself.
maybe you had been naive to think that someone could genuinely, truthfully like you. whatever jaehyun felt for you, or at least thought that he did, was purebred obsession and without it there would be nothing left. 
it was the one thing keeping you breathing, and yet the one thing killing you slowly.
something wet dripped onto the pillar of jaehyun’s shoulder and he saw that you were sobbing. tears of pleasure, he told himself. he remembered the wet glaze in your stare when the two of you had fucked the other day, too. nothing as theatrical as this, though he was certain it didn’t make a difference. 
but jaehyun wasn’t afraid to hurt you, that much was clear. he may not have particularly liked it anymore than you did, but he would use it to justify everything. it’s okay if it hurts, because love hurts, he would console himself, telling himself that you would be okay.
“one day you’ll understand that i’m doing this because i want what’s best for us,” jaehyun whispered, brushing a strand of hair behind your ear. “i’ll make you happy every day until you die. anything you could ever want, i’ll make it happen, i promise.”
the way he spoke, you knew that he believed it in his very bones, and that only made it scarier. someway, somehow, jaehyun had convinced himself that you were god walking, and now you weren’t sure what lengths he wouldn’t go to for your sake. 
tenderly kissing your jaw, jaehyun continued, “i love you.”
you shook your head, knowing that it wasn’t true. “you can’t love me, jaehyun. it’s only been five days.”
jaehyun disagreed. he thought he had loved you from the second he laid eyes on you, a beautiful girl ambling along the creek line. he could smell your sweet scent on him and it made him remember catching you in his arms, pulling you close, and breathing you in for the first time. “i loved you long before i met you. you may not feel it right now, but you will soon. i’ll make sure of it.”
you exhaled a breath. there was no arguing with a mad man.
“i’ll make sure you’ll never want to live without me again,” jaehyun whispered, like it was the most normal thing in the world. “that you can’t live without me.”
all you wanted was to get away from him. you were wishing you would’ve never came here, never gave him or this godforsaken place the time of day.
jaehyun was nearing the threshold of what he could take and it was plain on his face. you weren’t fucking yourself on him with the same amount of fervor as you had in the none too distant past, but he was too close to the edge to complain, driving his hips upwards into yours.
he was no longer listening to the pleas falling from between your lips, imagining that you were begging for him never to stop, never to let go of you. because he knew that deep down, that was what you wanted. you would get over these temporary, tiny frustrations. the same way he had gotten over them over and over.
did you think it was all fun and games for him? if you knew how many times he had been crushed and disappointed, how many times he had to let of something he wanted more than anything, you would finally understand that there nobody who understood you more than jaehyun.
in a way, you were completing each other. he would give you the family you needed, and you would give him the relationship he always wanted.
“jaehyun, you have to pull out,” you said to him, remembering he had gone in without a condom. “you have to…”
“shh,” jaehyun shushed you, pressing your back to the mattress again, and seizing control.
when you tried to speak, jaehyun just clamped his hand over your mouth to keep you silent and pliant, wanting to hear none of it. “didn’t i tell you? we’re going to build a family together, right here in this house.”
there was total, chaotic horror in your eyes. you hadn’t thought he meant so soon, so quickly. you were barely an adult and still sometimes felt like a child yourself, and you tried to tell him as much, but every word bled together and died on his palm.
with a few more unrelenting smacks of his hips into yours, jaehyun leaned over and clamped his teeth into your shoulder as he came. and when he stilled, he kissed you, ignoring the taste of tears that had ran onto your lips.
“it’ll always be you and me now,” he panted, breathless. “you can’t leave me. you can’t.”
you lay there, helpless and hopeless, feeling something like bile scorching up your throat as you stared at him in disbelief.
“i’ll fuck you every day, i will,” jaehyun said with every bit of conviction. “if it means that one of those days, i put a baby in you.”
there was nothing that you could say that your face wasn’t already saying for you. never in your life had you felt more used and violated, and that said a lot. 
and jaehyun didn’t seem to be bothered. he lay down beside your shaking body, tightening his arms around you, loving the way the layers of sweat made you stick to each other, and made you a dirty promise. “don’t worry, i’ll take care of you both,” he said. “i swear.”
you closed your eyes, screaming inside your head, but having none of the strength to really do it. he had stolen it from you, stolen everything from you. your body wasn’t your own anymore.
“say it,” jaehyun prompted, nibbling gently at your neck. “say you love me.”
you didn’t, and there wasn’t a single bone in your body that did, but jaehyun terrified you now. this would haunt you more than the gun pressed to your back, or the throwing your head underwater. compared to now, those things seemed mild.
so you sucked in a breath, trying to will yourself to stay still even though there was no possible way with how close he was to you, and you lied, “i love you.”
jaehyun grinned from ear to ear. “i know.”

you were used to it by now. the whispers, the laughter that wasn't quite hidden, the way your name passed between lips like a joke, something to smirk about. it had started freshman year and followed you like a curse ever since — a quiet, intelligent girl with a full chest and too much silence to defend herself with. you didn’t talk back. you never did. they liked that. it made things easier for them.
you had been trying to get to your locker that day, clutching your books to your chest, eyes on the floor as usual, when one of them blocked your path — tall, loud, one of the usual assholes, with a stupid grin on his face and a crowd behind him.
“what’s the matter?” he laughed. “books too heavy for your big-ass tits to carry?”
you winced, shoulders curling in, trying to push past, but he stepped closer, towering over you. someone else behind him snickered. you hated the way they looked at you — like your body was the only thing about you that existed. like your face didn’t matter. like you were just... meat.
and then, it happened.
a loud thud — the sound of a basketball slamming into skin — followed by a sharp grunt of pain. the guy in front of you stumbled back, clutching his nose, blood already dripping between his fingers. gasps filled the hallway. you blinked, stunned, just in time to see him.
jung jaehyun.
walking toward you with the kind of calm that could only come from someone who knew his power. he was tall, strong, with broad shoulders and that clean-cut look everyone in school adored — uniform perfect, tie loose around his neck, the sleeves of his shirt rolled just enough to show the veins in his forearms. and god, that face. that beautiful, unfairly symmetrical face. smooth skin, sharp jawline, soft eyes, and a smile that had dimples deep enough to drown in.
“get lost.”
he didn’t smile now, though. his eyes were cold.
“you deaf or just fucking stupid?” jaehyun asked, voice low and dangerous as he stepped right up to the guy who had just been mocking you. “i said get lost.”
no one moved.
jaehyun tilted his head. “do i need to break your nose again?”
the guy muttered something and scurried off, dragging the others with him. no one dared to stay. jaehyun had that kind of pull — not just popularity, but respect. he was the star of the basketball team, the top of the class, the golden boy. he never caused trouble, but you just knew that if he did, no one would ever dare challenge him.
when the hallway finally cleared, you realized you were still frozen. still clutching your books like a shield.
jaehyun turned to you then, and the sharpness in his expression melted instantly. he looked at you like you mattered. like he saw you.
“you okay?” he asked, voice soft now, warm like sunlight.
you nodded, too shocked to speak.
he crouched slightly to pick up the notebook you hadn’t even realized you dropped, and when he handed it to you, your fingers brushed. his skin was warm.
“listen,” he said, eyes locked on yours, “if anyone ever fucks with you again, you tell me. i’ll deal with it.”
you stared at him, heart pounding, face burning. you’d never had anyone say something like that to you. no one had everstood up for you.
“thank you,” you whispered.
and he smiled. not a polite smile — not the kind he gave teachers or classmates — but a real one. soft and open, the kind that made his eyes crinkle at the corners and his dimples sink deep into his cheeks.
“anytime,” he said, and then he was walking away, basketball back in his hands, spinning it lazily on one finger as if nothing had happened.
from that moment on, he was everywhere. or maybe you were just seeing him for the first time.
every time he stepped into the classroom, spinning his ball, that same lopsided smile on his face, your heart clenched painfully in your chest. sometimes he’d catch your gaze and wave, and you’d feel your breath hitch, cheeks turning pink as you quickly looked away.
you started writing about him. not because you wanted to — you needed to. your notebooks were full of little pieces of him. how his eyes turned into crescent moons when he laughed. how he always tapped his pencil against the desk when he was thinking. how he’d tie a black headband into his hair when studying, pushing it back to reveal his perfect forehead, his sharp brows, his devastating focus.
you wrote about how he always smelled like clean soap and faint cologne. how he bit his lip when he concentrated. how he always sat with one leg bouncing slightly, headphones in, completely lost in whatever music he was listening to.
you wrote about how good he looked in uniform — shirt crisp, blazer fitting him like it had been made for his body, tie loose just enough to show the curve of his neck. you memorized the way his throat moved when he swallowed water after a game, how sweat clung to his temples, how his chest rose and fell under the fabric when he caught his breath.
and sometimes… when you were alone… you let yourself write the filthier parts, the ones you’d never say out loud. the ones you weren’t supposed to think about. how it would feel to have his fingers inside you — those long, beautiful fingers that handled basketballs and pencils and textbooks with such easy precision.
you couldn’t stop. you were obsessed.
the dreams were getting worse — or better, depending on how you looked at it. every night, your brain pulled you into a fantasy soaked with heat and desperation, and he was always at the center of it. jung jaehyun. kissing you senseless in an empty classroom, whispering things that made your toes curl, pinning your wrists down while his mouth did sinful things to your body. sometimes he’d press you against the lockers, sometimes he’d have you on your knees in the locker room, his voice low and breathless, calling you pretty while he ruined you.
you would wake up flushed, sheets tangled around your legs, thighs slick and sticky, chest rising and falling like you had just run a marathon. you didn’t know how to stop it. you didn’t want to. you were too far gone, too deep in this obsession. you thought about him when you were brushing your teeth, when you were walking home, when the teacher said his name during attendance and your heart would stutter painfully in your chest.
he was inside your head, in your notebooks, in your fucking dreams.
and then came the moment — so small, so brief, but it set your entire soul on fire.
you had been organizing your books after class, everyone else already rushing off to lunch, when you felt a presence beside you. your heart jumped in panic, thinking it was another one of the bullies, but then you heard his voice — calm and warm like a quiet summer afternoon.
“you always stay behind?”
you turned your head and there he was, leaning one arm against the locker next to yours, a lazy smile on his face.
“uh… sometimes,” you answered, your voice barely audible.
he chuckled softly, dimples forming. “you’re always so quiet. it’s kinda cute.”
and then, as if he hadn’t just completely set your whole world upside down, he straightened up and walked away, hands in his pockets, tossing a casual, “see you in gym,” over his shoulder like it was nothing.
but to you, it wasn’t nothing. it was everything.
the image of him calling you cute looped in your head like a broken record, every word replaying with different meanings. you couldn’t eat. you couldn’t breathe. how were you supposed to sit through a full gym class with him now?
the next day, the coach had you all out on the track for timed sprints. full laps around the court, the sun already high and merciless.
“four laps,” the coach barked. “let’s see if any of you are faster than last week.”
jaehyun, of course, was at the front — smooth, effortless, like running didn’t even tire him. he finished in under four minutes, barely breaking a sweat, his black shirt clinging to his back, his arms flexing with every movement as he jogged to a stop and checked his time.
you, on the other hand, were dying. you hadn’t even finished your second lap and already your lungs were burning, your legs threatening to give out, your hair sticking to your face in humid strands. you ran like a baby deer — clumsy, off balance, desperate to just finish.
you could hear the laughter behind you.
“jesus, look at those things bounce,” one of the guys snorted, pointing. “they’ve got more movement than she does.”
you didn’t have to look back to know they were talking about your chest again. your face burned with shame, but you didn’t stop. you kept running — slow, pathetic — wishing you could disappear.
from the sidelines, jaehyun had been sipping from his water bottle, head tilted back, sweat glistening along the side of his neck. the moment he heard the voices behind him, his smile faded. his eyes narrowed.
he turned — and then he saw you.
struggling to keep pace, chest heaving, arms barely lifting. and, fuck. he hated himself for it, but his eyes slipped down. just for a second. just long enough to catch the way your breasts moved with every step, pushed up tight against your gym shirt, too big to be ignored.
he looked away fast, jaw clenching, swallowing hard. he hadn’t meant to do that. you were you — the quiet, sweet girl who wrote notes in class and blushed whenever he waved at her. but his body didn’t care about intentions. his palms suddenly felt hot.
and then you stumbled.
your knees gave out mid-step and you crashed to the floor with a soft cry, your hands catching you just barely before you face-planted. a burst of dust rose around you as your body trembled, trying to get up, but you just coughed, hunched over, chest rising and falling like you couldn’t breathe.
jaehyun didn’t hesitate. he was already running toward you, weaving between students, dropping to his knees in front of you.
“hey— hey, are you okay?”
you blinked up at him, dazed, tears pricking at your eyes from the embarrassment and the pain and the heat.
he reached for you gently, one hand on your waist, the other on your shoulder, steadying you as you tried to sit up. your forehead pressed against his chest for a second, and that’s when it happened — your body tilted forward, and your breasts, full and warm, pressed flush against him.
jaehyun stiffened, just for a second. you felt the tension ripple through him, the way his breath caught in his throat. but he didn’t move away. he kept holding you, focused on your face.
“don’t move too fast,” he murmured. “breathe first.”
you nodded, barely hearing his words over the rush in your ears. you could smell him — clean sweat and soft cologne and something uniquely him. you could feel his arm tightening just slightly around your waist, the strength of his grip making your stomach flutter with heat.
you felt dizzy. not from the fall — but from him.
he took you to the infirmary himself. one arm wrapped around your waist the entire way, supporting your weight, even though you swore your knees were about to give out for a completely different reason. the nurse gasped a little when she saw you, ushering you inside quickly. she cleaned your hands first, then your scraped knees, the sting of antiseptic barely registered against the pounding of your heart. she gave you a bottle of electrolyte water and laid you down on the cot, drawing the thin curtain half-closed around the bed. jaehyun lingered near the corner, arms crossed over his chest, brows slightly furrowed with worry.
“you’ll be okay,” he said quietly, more to himself than to you.
the nurse told him he could go, that you’d be taken care of. he hesitated, then finally turned to leave. but just before slipping past the curtain, he paused and looked back at you.
your lips parted. you wanted to say thank you, to tell him how much it meant to you. but your throat tightened. your mouth wouldn’t move. so you just stared, wide-eyed and grateful, as he gave you the softest smile and walked away.
that image of him—turning back just for you—haunted you the rest of the day.
now, the school was silent. the sun was beginning to set, painting orange stripes across the dusty floor. you were sitting in the very back row of the empty classroom, in your regular uniform again, knees together, hands on your lap. your wounds still stung faintly beneath the bandages.
you weren’t sure why you hadn’t gone home yet. maybe you were waiting for the hallway to clear completely. maybe you were waiting for your heart to calm down. maybe… you were just hoping.
when the sliding door suddenly slammed open, you flinched, body jerking in surprise.
“y/n?”
you turned and saw him—jaehyun, standing at the doorway, his bag slung lazily over one shoulder, eyes widening when he saw you still there.
“what’re you doing here?”
you swallowed, clutching your skirt tightly. “i… i was just waiting… for time to pass,” you mumbled.
he blinked. “huh?”
you shook your head, embarrassed. “nevermind… what about you?”
he walked down the row toward his desk. “forgot my books.”
you watched him crouch, reach under his chair, and pull out a pair of thick textbooks. he dusted one off and sighed, then straightened up and turned toward you.
“guess i’ll see y—”
“wait.”
you stood up quickly, heart hammering in your throat. he paused mid-step, looking at you curiously.
you took a deep breath, walking slowly toward him. “i… i didn’t get to thank you properly. earlier. at the infirmary.”
his face softened. “you don’t have to—”
“but i want to,” you interrupted. “you’ve always helped me. since the beginning. you defended me. you smiled at me. you… you noticed me, when no one else ever did.”
he seemed confused, shifting awkwardly on his feet. “it’s really not a big deal…”
you stepped in closer, until you were right in front of him. your hands came up, trembling slightly, fingers curling around his forearms. he went still.
“let me show you how much it means to me,” you whispered.
your voice was soft but firm, and for the first time in a long time, you looked him straight in the eye. your gaze must’ve shaken him, because his breath caught, lips parting slightly.
you saw it clearly—his pupils dilated, his throat working in a hard swallow, his fingers twitching where they gripped his books.
he nodded. just once.
you dropped slowly to your knees in front of him. his books thudded quietly to the desk behind him, and his hands hovered awkwardly in the air as he stared down at you, his cheeks beginning to flush a soft pink.
“w-wait… you don’t have to—”
“don’t run away,” you said gently, undoing the button of his pants. “please… just let me do this. for you.”
your fingers slipped inside his waistband, tugging his boxers down just enough to free him. his cock was already semi-hard, twitching slightly from the anticipation. you wrapped your hand around it, stroking slowly, feeling it grow heavier, thicker, until it stood hard in your palm.
“fuck…” he whispered, barely audible.
you leaned forward, brushing your lips against the tip before pressing a soft kiss to it. his hips jerked subtly, the sound of your lips parting filling the space between you. you opened your mouth and took him in slowly, inch by inch, until your nose brushed his skin.
he gasped above you, both hands flying to your head—but he didn’t push, didn’t move. he just stood there, mouth slightly open, watching you with wide, stunned eyes.
you began to bob your head gently, hollowing your cheeks, tongue curling under him every time you came back up. soft, wet sounds filled the classroom.
“ah— shit— y/n…”
you looked up at him through your lashes, and he visibly trembled.
after a few minutes, you pulled off him with a soft pop, your hand still stroking him slowly. then, with shaking fingers, you reached up to unbutton your blouse.
he swallowed thickly as your shirt fell open, revealing your soft pink lace bra—delicate and low-cut, barely containing your breasts.
“jesus christ…” he whispered.
you reached behind and unclasped it, letting your full breasts bounce free. his eyes darkened instantly.
“you’ve… thought about this, haven’t you?” you asked softly, taking his cock again and pressing it between them. “thought about these tits around your cock?”
he couldn’t even speak—he just groaned, his hips twitching forward involuntarily.
you spit lightly on your cleavage, then sandwiched him between your breasts, squeezing them together, watching his shaft disappear into the softness.
“so big,” you whispered, beginning to move. “you’re so fucking hard already… is it because you like my tits? you always stare, don’t think i don’t notice… dirty boy…”
“f-fuck—”
he was a mess, jaw slack, hands digging into the desk behind him for support.
“does it feel good? fucking my tits like this?”
he nodded helplessly, eyes locked on the way your breasts bounced with every movement.
“gonna cum for me?”
“y/n, i— i can’t—”
you smirked, speeding up, pressing your chest tighter around him.
“do it, jaehyun. cum for me. give it to me. right on my tits— on my face— anywhere you want…”
that was it.
with a loud, choked moan, his hips bucked one final time and he came—thick spurts landing hot across your chest, your neck, and the corner of your lips.
you closed your eyes, letting it paint you, sticky and warm, your own thighs rubbing together beneath your skirt from how insanely turned on you were.
you looked up at him, covered in his release, breathing heavily.
and jaehyun just stared—like he’d never seen anything more erotic in his entire life.
his breath was still ragged when he looked down at you—your chest heaving, the mess he made still warm across your skin, your lips slightly parted, a satisfied, sinful little smile tugging at the corners. you looked wrecked, ruined, and yet—so eager. so ready for more. he didn’t even realize he was moving until his hand wrapped firmly around your wrist, tugging you up with surprising strength.
“jaehyun—?”
you barely had time to speak before he spun you around and pressed you down against the long table behind you. the wood was cold against your thighs, but your skin was on fire. his grip on your wrist loosened only when your back hit the surface, and then—then both of his hands were on your waist, pushing you higher onto the desk, sliding you into place like he knew exactly where he wanted you.
his eyes were darker now, focused. his lips were parted, but not from surprise—no, this was hunger. and you couldn’t breathe. your whole body shivered, because for the first time, jaehyun wasn’t soft, or shy, or hesitating.
he was taking.
you looked up at him, pupils wide and glassy. your hands slid behind you, propping yourself up as your legs instinctively fell apart—slow, deliberate—an offering. your skirt rose high on your thighs, barely covering anything anymore, and jaehyun’s gaze flickered down, locking on the sight of your glistening underwear. he stepped forward, and the bulge pressing against his boxers brushed right over your clothed heat.
“fuck,” he muttered under his breath, almost like a prayer.
his hands went to your knees, gently pushing them even wider apart. his body settled between your legs perfectly, and when he leaned down, you could feel the pressure of him—still hard, already twitching again—grinding slow and steady against your soaked panties.
“you were waiting for this, weren’t you?” his voice was low now, rough with need. “you wanted me to lose control…”
you whimpered, nodding, your hips rising slightly to chase the friction.
“you’re so wet already,” he murmured, dragging his fingers down your inner thigh before pressing against the soaked fabric. “fuck, y/n… this is all for me?”
“yes,” you breathed, voice trembling. “always you…”
his lips crashed onto yours—not soft, not tender, but needy and desperate. you melted into the kiss, moaning when his tongue slid into your mouth, his hand already curling under the hem of your skirt, tugging your panties aside to feel how soaked you truly were. his fingers slid through your folds, teasing, barely dipping inside.
“god… you’re dripping…”
his cock rubbed against your bare slit now, still restrained by his boxers, but so hot and thick you could feel every ridge and pulse. you rolled your hips instinctively, wanting him, needing him.
“please…” you begged against his lips, eyes fluttering shut. “i want you… jaehyun, i want you so bad...”
he kissed you again, deeper this time, groaning into your mouth as his fingers dug into your thighs and spread you wider on the table.
and then he whispered against your lips, voice wrecked, trembling—
“then let me fuck you like you deserve.”
you barely had time to react before jaehyun gripped your waist tighter and pulled back just enough to free himself. his cock sprang free—hard, thick, flushed dark at the tip, slick with your spit from earlier. your mouth parted at the sight, eyes wide, pulse rushing so loud it almost drowned out the sound of your own breathing.
he didn’t tease. didn’t ask. he just looked at you—those deep eyes locking onto yours—and pressed the fat head of his cock right against your soaked entrance. you gasped, thighs trembling around his hips, and when he pushed in, slow but steady, your nails scratched at the wood of the desk beneath you.
“fuck—so tight,” he groaned, jaw clenched as your walls swallowed inch after inch. “you were made for this, weren’t you? made to take me like this.”
your body arched, lips falling open in a silent moan as he bottomed out—so deep you swore you could feel him in your stomach. your fingers reached up blindly, gripping his shoulders, needing to hold onto something as he started to move, rolling his hips with a rhythm that made your breath hitch.
“ah—jae... fuck, you're so deep...”
“yeah?” he panted, one hand sliding up your side, gripping your throat just enough to hold your focus. his thrusts quickened, sharper now, every stroke hitting that spot that made your vision blur. “you like this, baby? you like me fucking you open like this?”
“yes—yes, please, don’t stop—”
his mouth dropped to your neck, lips hot and wet as he kissed, licked, then bit, groaning into your skin as you clenched around him. your legs wrapped tighter around his waist, hips lifting to meet every thrust, desperate, unhinged.
he didn’t slow down. couldn’t. your cunt was so wet, sucking him in, and the sounds between you were filthy—skin on skin, your moans mixing with his curses, the desk creaking beneath you. he pulled back to look at you again, hand still on your throat, his thumb brushing over your jaw as he whispered against your lips:
“you want it?” he asked, voice low, shaky. “want me to cum inside? fill you up like the dirty girl you are?”
your whole body shuddered. you nodded, gasping as your nails dug into his arms.
“yes—yes, please, jaehyun—cum in me, fill me up, i want it so bad,” you moaned, voice breaking. “please breed me... i want your cum inside me, i want you to make me yours, fuck a baby into me—please—”
his hips stuttered.
“fuck—say it again,” he groaned, pounding into you harder now, rougher.
“i want you to get me pregnant,” you cried out, tears pricking the corners of your eyes from how deep he was. “i want it, i want all of it, fill me up—don’t pull out, please, jaehyun—”
he lost it.
with a guttural growl, his hand tightened on your waist, slamming into you with everything he had left. your thighs trembled, body twitching as he fucked you through the most intense orgasm yet—your vision went white, walls spasming violently around his cock.
“fuckfuckfuck—i’m gonna cum—” he choked, slamming into you one final time and staying there, buried to the hilt. “take it, take all of it—fucking take my cum—”
his hips jerked as he spilled inside you, hot and heavy, pulse after pulse of thick, messy release flooding your walls. you moaned loudly, holding him close, feeling every twitch, every drop leaking out around his cock.
he stayed there, breathing hard against your neck, both of you drenched in sweat and panting like you'd run a marathon.
“god…” he whispered, lips brushing your temple. “you feel so good. i don’t ever wanna stop.”
you smiled, blissful, dazed, and fucked-out beneath him.
his cock was still buried deep inside you, twitching slightly as your walls fluttered around him, still trying to recover from the last orgasm. your body was limp beneath him, warm and soft, and your chest rose and fell with heavy, satisfied breaths. but jaehyun didn’t move away. he didn’t even pull out. instead, he cupped your face gently, brushing damp strands of hair from your cheek, eyes locked on yours with a hunger that hadn’t faded in the slightest.
“you okay, baby?” he whispered, pressing a soft kiss to your jaw.
you nodded slowly, voice gone, lips swollen and parted as you blinked up at him with hazy, blissed-out eyes. you could still feel his cum inside you, thick and hot, slowly dripping out around where his cock stayed snug inside your soaked pussy. the sensation alone made your thighs tremble again.
“you’re so fucking pretty like this,” he murmured, thumb stroking your cheek as he rolled his hips—just a little. it made you gasp, your hands clutching at his arms. “laid out for me… stuffed full of my cum… god, i can’t get enough of you.”
“jae…” your voice was barely there, breathless.
“shhh, baby, i know,” he said, voice thick, low, almost reverent. “i know it’s a lot. but i need you again. just like this. slow, yeah? just let me feel you. let me keep you full.”
he started to move—deep, slow thrusts that had your mouth falling open all over again. every stroke dragged his cock against your walls in the perfect way, the mess between your bodies squelching with each push. he groaned when he felt more of his cum leaking out, and he angled his hips to press deeper, like he was trying to put it all back in.
“fuck—look at this pussy,” he growled softly. “so greedy… you’re still sucking me in like you never want me to leave.”
you whimpered, arms wrapping around his neck as he leaned down, kissing you tenderly. the kiss melted into something wetter, more desperate, your tongues tangled while his hips rocked slowly against yours.
“i don’t want you to leave,” you whispered against his lips. “i want more… want it all, jaehyun.”
his hand slid down your side, gripping your thigh and lifting your leg up to press your knee against your chest, folding you open more. the angle made him hit even deeper, and you gasped again, body arching under him.
“yeah?” he smirked, panting against your neck now. “you want me to fuck another load into this tight little cunt? want me to knock you up right here on this fucking desk?”
“yes—please,” you moaned, your voice cracking from how desperate you were. “give me everything again… want to be full, want it dripping out of me all night—”
“fuck—fuck, baby,” he cursed, fucking you harder now, his control unraveling again. “i’ll do it. i’ll breed this pussy until you can’t walk. make you mine. no one else is ever gonna get this. no one’s ever gonna touch you like this again.”
you cried out, gripping the edge of the desk as the pace grew heavier, the sound of skin slapping echoing off the empty classroom walls. you felt him throbbing inside you again, the pressure building so fast you couldn’t hold back.
“please cum inside—please, jaehyun—wanna feel it again—wanna be yours—”
that was all it took.
he slammed into you one last time and came with a loud, broken groan, spilling deep inside you again, hot and heavy, filling you completely. your body clenched around him, milking every drop, and you came with a sob, burying your face in his neck as your whole body shook.
he stayed there for a long time, cock still buried inside you, both of you panting, stuck together by sweat and cum and something even deeper. his hand gently rubbed your hip as he kissed your temple.
“you’re mine now,” he whispered.
and you smiled, because you already were.
you were still trembling when he finally, slowly, pulled out, and you both watched the thick mix of your juices drip down your inner thighs, pooling beneath you on the desk. he helped clean you gently, his touch careful, almost reverent, as if he didn’t want to hurt you now that your body was all sore and sensitive from how many times he’d used you.
you reached for your crumpled uniform, cheeks burning, fingers fumbling with the buttons of your blouse as you tried to fix yourself. your bra was slightly damp, your thighs sticky, your knees aching—but your heart… your heart was thudding with something deeper, fuller. you could still feel him inside you. your chest was tight with warmth, overflowing with something you hadn’t dared to name before now.
jaehyun leaned against the desk, watching you quietly with a lazy, satisfied smirk, his hair messy, lips a little swollen. he looked so unfairly perfect—just like always. but this time, you knew what those lips tasted like. you knew how his voice sounded when he moaned your name.
just as you finished adjusting your skirt and were smoothing down your sleeves, he stepped close again, towering over you with that same presence that made your knees weak.
his fingers tucked your collar into place, brushing your skin in the process. he looked into your eyes, so deep, so intense it made your breath catch.
“don’t forget,” he murmured, voice low, possessive, with a hint of a smirk tugging at his lips, “you’re mine.”
you bit your lip, heart pounding all over again. “i know,” you whispered, looking up at him with stars in your eyes. “i don’t want to be anything else.”
he kissed your forehead softly, and your heart melted on the spot.
you were hopelessly, completely his.

___________________________________________
Prologue: The Oath
You kneel before the throne, steel armor catching the dying light of the sun that slips through the stained glass. The court is silent. Only the sound of your own heartbeat thunders in your ears.
He stands above you—Prince Jaehyun, crown barely tilted, expression unreadable.
He’s barely older than you, but the weight of ruling already drapes over his shoulders like chainmail. His jaw is sharp. His eyes sharper.
“Swear your sword,” the king commands. But it’s Jaehyun you look at.
“I vow to protect Prince Jaehyun with my life,” you say clearly. “To shield his heart, his name, and his crown—even if it costs me everything.”
Jaehyun’s gaze doesn’t waver.
“Rise, Ser Knight.”
You do. And when his hand clasps your shoulder, his touch is warm.
That night, he does not look at you again.
But that was before the war.
Before the fire.
Before the night he vowed to love her.
CROWN AND CONSCIENCE
The storm hadn’t yet passed, but the fires had already started.
Smoke from the outskirt village curled into the gray skies like a cry for help—one the court had chosen to ignore.
“They brought it upon themselves,” the Duke spat. “They trespassed into disputed land. The royal decree is clear: no aid.”
Jaehyun stood still at the head of the council chamber, jaw clenched, fists tight at his sides.
“They are our people,” he said, voice low. “Starving. Sick. And burning.”
“The crown must stand firm. If we help them, we break the treaty. We risk war,” the Chancellor added.
Jaehyun looked around. Not one noble met his eyes.
Not even his father.
So he left.
He walked out in silence.
And by nightfall, he was gone from the castle.
The next morning, soldiers whispered.
The prince had taken a full supply cart. Two dozen loyal guards. And one knight—her—riding by his side.
By dusk, they reached the village.
Children coughed from smoke inhalation. Old men collapsed in the mud. The stream ran black with ash.
Jaehyun dismounted without hesitation, sleeves rolled, crown gone.
He lifted a girl from the rubble with soot-streaked hands. Tended wounds. Shared his own water flask. Carried wood and bandaged burns with the knight’s steady presence at his side.
She watched him, her heart aching and swelling all at once.
“You broke royal law,” she murmured beside him.
“I couldn’t sit on a throne and let them die,” he replied, wiping sweat from his brow. “If that makes me unfit to rule—so be it.”
She looked at him—his dirt-covered tunic, scraped hands, and burning eyes—and whispered, “That makes you the only one worthy of the crown.”
That night, as the fires died and the villagers slept, she found him sitting alone outside the healer’s tent.
He didn’t notice her approach until she knelt beside him.
“You’ll face consequences,” she said.
He looked at her.
Soft. Unafraid.
“I don’t care.”
And under the stars, she saw not a prince bound by duty—but a man ruled by compassion.
And she fell for him just a little more.
SPEAKING FOR A PRINCE
The great hall of the royal court was cold with judgment. Noblemen lined the carved benches, voices sharp, robes heavy with power. The scent of ink, candle wax, and tension hung thick in the air.
Prince Jaehyun stood before them—cuffed, accused of overstepping his command during the last border battle.
He was calm, jaw tight, eyes steady. But behind the mask, she saw it—the weight of betrayal from within his own court.
The High Chancellor raised his voice, “Prince Jaehyun acted against advisement. He led troops beyond sanctioned lines. Risked lives. Disobeyed counsel.”
“He saved them,” she snapped, stepping forward.
Gasps stirred through the room.
The Chancellor blinked. “Knight, you were not summoned to speak.”
“I wasn’t,” she said, striding to the center. “But I was there.”
Whispers followed her like wind through the stone chamber.
“I saw the command you all hesitated to give. I saw the soldiers who would’ve died had he waited for permission. I watched your heir bleed for people you’d already written off.”
Jaehyun’s eyes widened slightly. She didn’t look at him.
“He didn’t seek glory. He didn’t seek rebellion. He sought to save lives when you sat in safety and silence.”
A noblewoman stood. “You speak boldly for a knight.”
“I speak truth for a man who earned my sword and my loyalty.” Her voice cracked slightly. “And if you question his honor, then question mine too. Because I followed him not out of rank—but respect.”
The room was still.
Jaehyun’s lips parted—but no words came.
She turned finally, meeting his eyes.
And for a fleeting second, the world narrowed to only them.
“If you're going to try him for saving lives,” she said gently, “then try me too.”
Silence.
Then the King stood slowly, his eyes unreadable.
After a moment, he spoke. “The court will recess. And reconsider.”
As murmurs rose again, Jaehyun was uncuffed.
He walked to her, slow, deliberate, his voice hushed.
“You didn’t have to do that.”
She met his gaze. “Yes, I did.”
And he smiled—small, awed, full of quiet devotion.
It was the day the court questioned his worth.
And the day he realised he had fallen too hard.
MOONLIGHT AND SILK
The corridor outside her quarters was still, save for the low hum of torches lining the walls. Prince Jaehyun’s boots barely made a sound on the polished stone floor as he approached, one hand loosely holding the sheathed blade he’d had custom-forged for her. A new sword—elegant, balanced, strong. Just like her.
He hadn’t intended to deliver it himself.
But something about her lingered in his thoughts too often lately—the fierce way she fought, the subtle kindness behind her sharp eyes, the way she always saluted him without hesitation, never letting her exhaustion show. And then there were the nights—like this—when he found excuses to see her again.
He raised a hand to knock.
But the door wasn’t fully closed.
It was slightly ajar, and the soft whisper of movement inside caught his attention. He hesitated, but before he could announce himself, the moonlight streaming through her window shifted, casting a silver glow across the room.
And then he saw her.
She stood with her back to him, brushing out her hair by the open window. Her long white sleep gown clung gently to her waist and hips, falling to the floor like silk and mist. The fabric shimmered faintly, molded to her shape by the breeze. Her hair cascaded freely down her back—no armor, no blades, no duty.
Just her.
A woman—not his knight, not his protector—just her.
The prince forgot to breathe.
Something in his chest tightened, as if caught between reverence and ache. He had seen her bleed, seen her break men with her sword arm, stand unflinching before death. But this? This sight undid him more than any battlefield.
She turned slightly, sensing movement behind her.
“Who's—?” she began, then stilled when she saw him.
Her eyes widened a little. Not with fear—never fear—but with quiet surprise. “Your Highness.”
Jaehyun cleared his throat, suddenly very aware of how the moon painted her skin in soft silver and shadows.
“I—I came to give you this.” He held out the sword like a shield between them. “Your new blade.”
She stepped forward barefoot, the sound barely a whisper on the stone. She took the sword gently, their fingers brushing. Her brows rose as she admired the craftsmanship, but she noticed something else—his gaze lingering longer than it should have, the way his lips parted as if he wanted to say something and couldn’t.
“Is something wrong?” she asked softly.
Jaehyun shook his head once. “No. Not at all.”
She nodded, then turned to rest the sword carefully against her nightstand. But he didn’t move. He stayed rooted in place, still watching her with the eyes of a man who’d been struck silent.
“I didn’t mean to intrude,” he finally said, voice lower than usual. “I’ll leave you to rest.”
He turned to go.
“Prince"
He looked back.
The moonlight made her look like something from a dream. Real, and yet otherworldly. Her eyes met his with that same steel-and-softness he’d come to crave.
“Thank you,” she said.
Then it hit him like a thousand arrows.
He was in love with her.
Not because she was strong. Not because she had saved him a hundred times on the battlefield.
But because in this quiet moment, she had unknowingly shattered every wall he’d built around his heart.
And for the first time in his life, the prince didn’t want to leave.
BEHIND LOCKED DOORS
The castle trembled with distant noise—boots pounding on stone, swords clanging, desperate shouts echoing through the halls. Smoke curled beneath the door.
She slammed it shut, bolting it with trembling hands, her chest heaving. Her sword was slick with blood, her tunic torn at the sleeve. The corridor had nearly swallowed them both.
Jaehyun leaned against the wall behind her, his breathing sharp. Blood trickled from his side, dark and steady. His armor hung broken over his frame, the left pauldron nearly ripped clean off.
“You’re bleeding, my prince” she said, turning to face him fully.
“I’ve had worse.”
“You’ll have worse if you keep talking,” she muttered, moving swiftly to her washbasin. “Sit.”
He obeyed with a grunt, sinking onto the edge of her cot. The flickering candlelight bathed the room in a gold haze, illuminating the sweat on his brow, the way his jaw clenched through the pain.
She returned with cloths and clean water, dropping to her knees before him.
“Hold still.”
She reached for the clasps at his shoulders, unbuckling each one with precision. His armor fell away piece by piece, clanging softly against the floor. She set them aside carefully, revealing the soaked linen shirt beneath—torn at the hem, stained with blood.
Her fingers hesitated at the edge of it. “I need to see how deep it is.”
“Go ahead,” he said quietly.
She looked up—his eyes were already on her. Intense. Unreadable.
Her hands went to the hem of his shirt, lifting it slowly, carefully—until his torso was bare before her. Her breath caught as she took him in: the lean muscle along his ribs, the angry gash slashing across his left side, the bruises blooming along his back.
He wasn’t just a prince. He was a man carved from battles and burden, held together by will.
She dipped the cloth into the warm water and pressed it gently to the wound. He flinched.
“Sorry,” she murmured, softening her touch.
He said nothing—just watched her. Watched the way her brows knit in worry, how her lips parted when she concentrated, how her fingers trembled just slightly as they cleaned the blood from his skin.
“You do this often?” he asked, voice low.
“Patch up reckless princes who dive into ambushes alone?” she muttered. “Far too often.”
He gave a soft, wry chuckle. “You’re angry.”
“You could’ve died, Jaehyun.”
He stilled.
She never called him that—not like this. Not when they were alone and the world fell away.
Her hand paused at his ribs, fingers spread wide against his skin. Her eyes lifted to meet his—and what she saw in his gaze wasn’t pain. It was hunger. Admiration. Something vulnerable.
“You saved me,” he said quietly. “Again.”
“I always will,” she whispered.
The noise outside had dulled, but inside—everything was louder. Her heart. His breath. The tension between them strung tight like a drawn bow.
His hand reached up slowly, curling around her wrist. Warm. Firm. Gentle.
“I’ve worn crowns and commanded armies,” he murmured. “But no one’s ever looked at me the way you do.”
She exhaled. “I see the man. Not the title.”
He leaned forward, close enough to feel the heat of her breath. “Then kiss me, knight. Before I beg.”
She did.
It started as a whisper—lips brushing, soft and unsure. Then deeper. Warmer. His hand cradled the back of her neck. Her fingers gripped his bare shoulders. They kissed like the world outside didn’t exist.
When they pulled apart, their foreheads touched.
“Stay,” he whispered. “Just tonight.”
“I’ll guard the door myself,” she said, voice trembling.
“No,” he murmured, brushing her cheek. “I meant here. Beside me.”
And for once, she laid down her sword—not because the war had ended, but because for the first time, her heart had found a reason to stay.
FIRELIGHT
The first thing he felt was the ache. A dull throb beneath his ribs.
The second—emptiness.
The sheets beside him were cold.
“...Y/N?” Jaehyun rasped, voice hoarse in the darkness.
He sat up slowly, the bandage on his side pulling with the movement. Candlelight flickered low in the corner of the room, shadows dancing against stone. Outside, the castle slept, but the corridors still pulsed faintly with the warmth of scattered torches.
He swung his legs over the bed, wincing as his bare feet met the chilled stone. The nightshirt clung to his chest, sweat-dampened from fever or dreams—he couldn’t tell which. He remembered her touch… her kiss… the warmth of her lying beside him.
But now—
He stumbled out into the corridor, jaw clenched.
And then he saw her.
Just past the archway, near the stairs that overlooked the southern wall, she stood in silence—bathed in golden firelight. Her back was to him, a white nightgown hugging her frame, hair unbound and tumbling over her shoulders like ink against snow.
Her hand was pressed gently against the side of her own ribs—over fresh bandages.
She hadn’t told him.
She had been hurt too.
“Y/N…”
She turned at his voice—slowly, carefully. Her eyes widened in quiet surprise.
“Jaehyun,” she breathed. “You should be resting.”
“You’re bleeding,” he said, taking a slow step forward.
“So are you.”
He was beside her now, and the firelight cast their shadows long across the stone. His hand reached out, brushing her hair back from her face, thumb grazing her cheekbone.
“You hid it from me.”
“I had to.”
“Why?”
“Because you would’ve worried. You’d do something reckless like—” she paused, eyes softening, “—like stumble out of bed half-healed to chase after me.”
He laughed, just a breath of it. “Too late.”
She smiled gently, and he leaned in—forehead resting against hers.
“I woke up and thought I dreamt you,” he whispered. “I thought maybe you’d never been there at all.”
“I’m here,” she said, voice low. “I’m always here.”
He took her hand then—pulled it away from her side and pressed it flat over his heart.
“Then don’t ever leave without telling me again.”
“I won’t,” she promised, eyes glassy.
He kissed her then, slower this time. Not urgent, but steady—like a vow made in firelight, when the rest of the world was still.
WOUNDS AND WHISPERS
The firelight in her chambers glowed low and golden, casting gentle shadows across the stone walls.
“You should lie down,” she whispered, guiding him to the bed. Her nightgown swayed with each step, the soft fabric brushing against his legs like a ghost.
“So should you,” he murmured back, brushing his thumb over the bandage beneath her arm. “You’re still hurt.”
Her eyes softened.
He sat on the edge of the bed, and she stood before him. In the silence, he reached out, fingers ghosting over the hem of her nightgown. “May I?”
She nodded, and he peeled it upward with care, revealing the curve of her hips, her thighs, the rise and fall of her breath. Her skin glowed warm under the firelight, marred only by bruises and healing cuts she had kept hidden from him.
He pressed a kiss to each one.
As if to say I see you. I honor all your pain.
When he looked up, her eyes were glassy.
“You’re beautiful,” he said quietly. “Even when you're hurting. Especially then.”
She knelt on the bed before him, her hands undoing the loose ties of his shirt. He winced faintly, and she slowed.
“Sorry.”
“No,” he said. “Touch me. Just—don’t stop.”
She helped him out of it gently, exposing the wrapped wound over his ribs. Her lips found his shoulder, then his collarbone, every kiss feather-light, like she was trying not to break him.
He reached for her then, pulling her close, their bare chests pressing together carefully. The moment was raw and real, made of aching hearts and trembling hands. They kissed like they were mending, like the world outside could burn and all that would matter was this room, this breath, this closeness.
When he slid into her, it was slow—achingly so.
Her arms wrapped around his neck. His hand cradled her lower back. They moved gently, savoring each thrust, each soft gasp, like every second was sacred.
“I’ve never…” she breathed, forehead against his.
“I know,” he whispered. “Me neither. Not like this.”
No rushing. No dominance. No need to prove.
Just love.
His lips found hers again and again, their bodies rising and falling together with patient rhythm, careful not to press too hard against bandaged skin.
She moaned softly against his mouth, and his eyes fluttered shut at the sound.
“I’m yours,” he said, voice hoarse. “If I die tomorrow, know that.”
“You won’t,” she whispered, tears sliding into her hair. “Because I’ll protect you.”
They came undone in each other’s arms, quiet and trembling—clinging, not for lust, but for love. For peace. For the promise of something beyond war and fire.
And when they collapsed back into the sheets, breath mingling, hands still locked—
There was only stillness.
And comfort. Even if it was for a while.
THE TURNING POINT
The battlefield was drowning in smoke.
Ash fell like snow from the sky, clinging to armor, skin, and the broken soil beneath Jaehyun’s boots. He stood near the southern ridge, sword in hand, heart pounding against scorched ribs.
Just ahead, the enemy forces—outnumbered, fractured—were beginning to retreat.
“We have them!” a commander yelled beside him. “They’re breaking!”
Jaehyun dared to believe it. One final push. One last surge. Victory, after all these brutal months, was so close he could taste it—bitter and bright like metal on the tongue.
He turned to find her—his knight. His heart.
She was across the clearing, leading the flank. Her armor was bloodstained, cracked along the shoulder. But her blade flashed like fire, and her eyes burned with relentless purpose.
Then—
A scream.
His blood iced.
It was one of their own—a young soldier, barely more than a boy, falling to his knees as a hidden detachment of enemy reinforcements surged from the treeline. An ambush.
“Hold the line!” Jaehyun roared, charging toward her.
But it was too late.
She saw the danger before he could reach her—and she moved.
Shield up, she threw herself into the fray, intercepting the attack meant for the crumbling left wing. Chaos exploded around her—swords clashing, arrows flying.
NO CHILD LEFT
The air was thick with smoke and screams as she moved through the burning village—enemy territory, but tonight, no one was counting sides. The earth was torn open, houses turned to skeletons. Every breath was ash.
“Pull back!” someone shouted from the hill. “Orders are to evacuate—now!”
But she didn’t stop.
Because she heard him.
A small, choked sob beneath a crumbled stone wall.
She dropped to her knees, tearing through splinters with bloody fingers until she saw him: a boy, no more than six. Filthy. Crying. Trapped. Alone.
He flinched when he saw her armor.
She tossed her blade aside.
“I’m not your enemy,” she whispered hoarsely. “I’m your way out.”
She reached in and hauled him out, his frail body clinging to hers like a lifeline. He smelled of smoke and fear, skin hot with fever.
Then—
“Commander!” a soldier barked behind her. “He’s one of them! You can’t bring him with us!”
She turned, eyes blazing, hair soaked with sweat and ash. “He’s a child! What the hell is wrong with you?!”
“You’ll get us court-martialed,” another snapped. “We don’t help the enemy!”
She stepped forward, clutching the boy tighter. “Then court-martial me! Strip my armor. Lock me up. But I will not leave a child to die in a fire because of your fear.”
"But commander-"
"THAT'S FINAL!"
There was silence.
Even the fire seemed to pause for her words.
The boy whimpered, burying his face into her shoulder.
And she turned her back to them all—and ran.
Through collapsing beams. Through enemy lines. Through bullets and flames.
Jaehyun met her halfway to the edge of the safe zone, eyes wide, blood still dripping from a fresh cut at his temple.
His voice cracked. “You—what happened?”
“He was alone,” she gasped. “I couldn’t—”
And he didn’t let her finish.
He stepped forward and took the child from her arms, settling him gently against his chest.
“Come on,” he said softly. “Let’s get him to safety.”
Her heart caught.
Because in that moment, with flames behind them and a new future just ahead—she realized:
He's the one she's fighting to stay alive for.
A SMALL VICTORY
The battle had finally quieted.
The field was scorched, blood-soaked—but still. The last horn had sounded, signaling retreat. Smoke curled into the clouds as the enemy forces vanished beyond the valley’s edge.
For the first time in days, there was no screaming. No sword drawn. Just silence.
And then—
A cheer.
It started with one soldier. Then another. And soon, the air echoed with tired, tearful cries of triumph.
She stood among them—her armor dented, hair tangled, face streaked with soot. Blood stained her side where she’d been grazed, but she stood tall.
Alive. Fierce. Radiant in the sun breaking through smoke.
Jaehyun spotted her across the clearing—and everything else blurred.
His feet moved before his thoughts did.
And then he was in front of her.
She blinked. “We did it.”
He didn’t answer.
He reached out—one trembling, dirt-smeared hand—and cupped her jaw. His thumb brushed her cheek gently, reverently.
Her breath caught.
And without another word—
He kissed her.
Slow. Certain. Soft.
Right there in front of everyone.
The soldiers fell silent. Watching. And then—smiled.
Because they all knew.
This was more than a victory on the battlefield.
It was a win they had fought for.
A promise that not all things were lost to war.
When he pulled back, he leaned his forehead against hers and whispered, “You’re why I made it through this.”
And she whispered back, “We made it through… together.”
EPILOGUE – THE GARDEN IN SPRING
The castle stood quiet now, its stones no longer echoing with the sound of swords or cries, but with laughter and birdsong. Spring had returned, weaving green into the cracks left by fire. Peace was still a fragile thing—but it bloomed, nonetheless.
In the royal garden, beneath an arch of flowering vines, Jaehyun found her.
She sat on a bench, polishing her newly forged sword—not for battle, but tradition. She still wore armor sometimes, though it had grown lighter, paired now with silk instead of steel.
He stood for a moment, watching her.
The sunlight kissed her hair, and when she looked up—smiling, free, his—he knew again why he’d bled for this peace.
“You’re staring, Your Majesty,” she teased, wiping her blade with a grin.
“I’m admiring,” he corrected, walking over. “Is that a crime?”
She tilted her head. “Might be. Depending on how you plead.”
He leaned down, stole a kiss from her lips. “Guilty.”
She laughed, catching the collar of his robe and pulling him closer. “Then I suppose I’ll have to keep an eye on you, your Highness.”
“As my knight, or as my wife?”
She raised a brow. “Both.”
He smiled. “Good. I’d rather be guarded by no one else.”
Nearby, children’s laughter echoed—the orphans they’d taken in, now running through the garden paths. Among them, the small village boy she’d once carried from the battlefield, now bright-eyed and safe.
She watched them with a quiet smile, her hand finding Jaehyun’s.
“I used to think we’d die in the fire,” she whispered. “But somehow, we made it here.”
He brought her hand to his lips. “You’re the reason I came back.”
“And you’re the reason I stayed.”
Their foreheads touched.
A breeze carried the scent of roses and rain.
And in the garden they’d once passed through as strangers—Prince and Knight, bloodied and burning—they sat in peace, fingers entwined.
Together.
At last.
The End.

"Code blue, Code you"
Tumblr media
Pairing: Doctor Jaehyun (NCT) x Reader
Tropes: Enemies to Lovers, Slowburn, Doctor x Doctor AU, He Falls First (and hard)
Genres: Humor, Fluff, Angst, Deep Burn Smut
Word Count Target: ~2k
Preview: When two rival surgeons—sharp-tongued, sleep-deprived, and dangerously attracted—are forced to work side by side, sparks fly, scalpels clash, and hearts get involved. In a hospital full of tension, Dr. Jung Jaehyun falls first... and hardest.
___________________________________________
[Opening Scene: The First Cut Isn’t Always the Deepest]
You don’t believe in love at first sight—but you do believe in hate at first interaction.
Dr. Jung Jaehyun walks into the surgical department on your night shift, fresh from Harvard, and within ten minutes he’s reorganized the trauma flow board and corrected your chart notes with a polite smile that somehow feels like a slap.
"You’re welcome to double-check my math," you say icily.
He smiles, too handsome for his own good. "No need. I already did."
He doesn’t know it yet, but that’s the moment you vow to make his life as inconvenient as ethically possible.
[Development: Petty Games and Relentless Smirks]
Jaehyun is infuriating. His precision in surgery is flawless. His bedside manner? Award-winning. His smile? Unreasonably effective.
You call him “Golden Boy” to the residents. He calls you “Dr. Ice.”
You leave passive-aggressive notes on the scrub schedule. He adjusts the thermostat in your office to arctic levels.
“You’re obsessed with me,” you tell him after he scrubs in for a valve replacement you specifically didn’t invite him to.
“Not obsessed,” he says. “Just making sure you don’t accidentally kill anyone.”
The tension is ridiculous. The nurses place bets on who will snap first.
They don't know Jaehyun already has.
[Jaehyun’s Interlude: Quiet Obsession]
You occupy too much of his brain. You’re snarky, brilliant, competitive—and every time you challenge him, he wants to either argue or kiss you senseless.
He hears you laugh in the breakroom once. Real, unguarded. It knocks the air out of him.
So yes, maybe he teases you too much. Maybe he volunteers for the same night shifts. Maybe he memorized your coffee order the first week.
He’s falling. Fast. And you don’t even see it.
[Turning Point: Hearts in Crisis]
A teenage patient comes in with a rare congenital heart defect. Surgery is high risk. You clash over the plan. But Jaehyun—calmer than you’ve ever seen—suggests a hybrid approach you hadn’t considered.
You agree, reluctantly.
The surgery is brutal. But it works.
Afterward, you find him alone in the supply room, eyes closed, head against the wall.
“I didn’t know you cared that much,” you say.
He opens his eyes.
“You do something to me,” he says softly. "Even when I’m trying not to care."
You leave before you can hear the rest.
[Build-Up: Long Nights & Slow Softening]
The war softens. The teasing becomes banter. You start looking for his face in morning briefings. He brings you ginger tea when you lose your voice.
One 3AM shift, you share ramen in the call room, knees touching.
“You’re not so bad,” you mumble, half-asleep.
He brushes hair from your face.
“I think I’m in trouble,” he whispers.
You don’t respond. But your hand stays in his.
[Smolder: A Near Kiss in the On-Call Room]
You’re arguing about a surgical technique. He’s too close. You’re flushed. He says something about tension.
“Maybe we should just get it over with,” he murmurs.
You stare at his lips.
But the pager goes off.
The kiss doesn’t happen.
You both pretend you’re not disappointed.
[Jaehyun Falls Deeper]
He starts sketching diagrams with your preferred methods. Learns your favorite OR playlist. Defends you in a board meeting when no one else does.
When you fall asleep on a cot after a 36-hour shift, he covers you with his jacket. Stares too long. Whispers your name like a prayer.
You dream of hands holding yours.
[Climax: Confession Under Fire]
There’s a power outage during an emergency surgery. You’re guiding the team by flashlight. Jaehyun is beside you, calm, steady.
Afterward, you pull him into the stairwell, adrenaline still high.
“You saved that girl,” you breathe.
“So did you,” he says.
Then:
“I’m so far gone for you, it’s not funny anymore.”
[On-Call Room, Tension Unleashed]
It’s past 2AM, and the hospital is quiet in the way that only makes your body ache more—blood still warm from a trauma save, adrenaline giving way to exhaustion. You’re both in the on-call room again. The lights are low. He’s staring at you.
You stand in front of him. “You keep looking at me like that.”
Jaehyun’s voice is low, rough. “I can’t help it anymore.”
He steps forward, hands sliding up your arms, gaze locked to your lips.
“Tell me to stop,” he murmurs.
You don’t. You press your lips to his, and he breaks.
He kisses like he’s been starved—hands firm but reverent, mouth moving with deliberate hunger. You push his lab coat off. He strips yours away just as quickly. It’s frantic, but not careless.
He lifts you to the cot, lays you down with a tenderness that makes your chest ache.
“You’re beautiful,” he breathes, staring down at you as if committing the image to memory. He runs his hands over you like he’s mapping your skin.
When he slides his hand into your scrubs, you gasp.
“I’ve thought about this,” he whispers, lips brushing your neck. “Every night. Every shift you sassed me. Every time you stole my coffee.”
He finds you already wet. His breath hitches.
“Fuck, you want this too.”
You nod, breath ragged.
His fingers move slow at first, drawing lazy circles. He kisses you deeply, keeping you grounded with his weight, his rhythm.
When he finally pushes inside you, it’s with a groan buried in your mouth, his name broken on your lips.
He moves slowly, like he’s savoring every second. Your bodies tangle, skin slick with sweat, gasps echoing through the small room.
“Jaehyun—” you whimper as he hits a spot that has your spine arching.
“I know, baby,” he murmurs against your collarbone. “I’ve got you.”
And he does.
You fall apart in his arms, and he follows with a shaky moan, burying his face in your neck as he spills into you.
Later, you lay curled against him, your breaths syncing.
“Still hate me?” he asks, a soft smile tugging at his lips.
You kiss his chest. “You’re infuriating.”
But you kiss him again.
[The Man Who Fell First, Hardest, and Last]
You’re officially a thing now. Everyone knows. The nurses win their betting pool.
He walks you to work even when his shift is hours later. You scold him for sleeping at your apartment without backup scrubs.
But he just shrugs, presses a kiss to your temple.
“Worth it.”
In surgery, you bicker less. He still teases. You still roll your eyes.
And every once in a while, when you catch him watching you like you hung the stars, you realize:
He didn’t just fall first.
He fell hardest.
And he’s never getting back up.
The End.
Feedback is welcome :)

“Don’t Look”
Pairing: Jaehyun x Reader
Genre: Smut | Best Friends to Lovers | Secret Relationship | Slow Burn (turned fast & filthy) (Not proof read)
Word Count: (forgot to do the count ngl)
Status: Ongoing one-shot continuation (maybe)
Content Warnings: (MINORS DNI)
• Sexual tension and explicit sexual content (slow-burn smut)

• Light degradation and praise (eventually)
• Friends-to-lovers tension with emotionally messy moments
• Masturbation (mutual and solo)
• Unspoken feelings, jealousy, possessiveness
• Eventual explicit consent and sexual exploration
Summary:
What started as innocent teasing between childhood best friends has spiraled into something much more dangerous — and addicting. Late-night games, stolen glances, and one risqué manga opened the door, but now? Jaehyun owns her — her body, her sounds, her limits. The only problem? No one else knows they’ve crossed that line.
From stolen touches in crowded rooms to being bent over bathroom stalls, their secret grows harder to hide… and harder to resist. He was supposed to be her best friend. Now he’s her favorite mistake — and he’s not letting anyone else have a taste.
But teasing Jaehyun has its consequences… especially when she moans his name while thinking of someone else. (lil teaser🫣)
This is the full fic to the “don’t look” teaser didn’t expect to actually get people to like it i hope this will story satisfy yall… idk how to feel about it just know that it is STEAMY
The sound of rapid clicking and muffled gunshots filled the air, blending with the occasional curse that left Jaehyun’s lips as he focused on the game. Y/N barely paid him any mind, curled up on his bed with her legs swinging lazily in the air, a well-worn manga volume in her hands.
It was a regular thing — crashing at Jaehyun’s place after classes, him glued to his monitor while she raided his snack stash and made herself at home in his room. They didn’t need to talk to feel comfortable. That’s just how they were. Easy. Familiar.
At least… usually.
Today was different.
Jaehyun had taken off his headset to answer a call, wandering out of the room mid-game. When he came back, the first thing he saw wasn’t the screen. It was Y/N, lying on her stomach on his bed, skirt hiked up just a little too high, and her eyes glued to a page that definitely wasn’t PG-13.
He blinked. Then blinked again.
Was she seriously reading that kind of manga? In his room?
He moved closer, quiet as ever, leaning over to glance at the page. Yup. That was definitely someone getting bent over a desk.
His voice came out lower than intended, a little too amused. “What are you reading?”
Y/N nearly jumped out of her skin. She snapped the book shut with a gasp and turned over, clutching it to her chest.
“W-What the hell, Jaehyun! Don’t sneak up on people like that!”
“I wasn’t sneaking,” he grinned, walking over and tossing himself onto the bed beside her. “You were just too into it to notice me.”
She narrowed her eyes, cheeks flushed. “You saw nothing.”
“Oh no, I definitely saw something. A lot of something, actually.” He smirked, eyes drifting — not-so-subtly — from the manga to her exposed thighs. “Didn’t know you were into that stuff.”
She threw a pillow at him. “Shut up! It’s just—plot. With… extra.”
“Mhmm.” He leaned in, voice dipping to a tease. “Didn’t know my bed was so inspiring.”
Y/N rolled her eyes, trying to cover the blush blooming down her neck. “You’re such an ass.”
“Maybe.” His fingers brushed her knee, lingering longer than they should. “But you’re not denying it.”
Silence hung for a beat too long. The tension wasn’t like usual. It wasn’t playful — not entirely. There was heat in the air, thick and humming between them.
His voice dropped. “You know, if you wanted inspiration… you could’ve just asked.”
She stared at him, heart pounding.
“You’re joking.”
His eyes flicked down to her lips, then back up. “Am I?”
Another beat passed. Her book slipped from her hands, forgotten.
And then—
Y/N didn’t move. Didn’t breathe.
She couldn’t. Not with the way Jaehyun was looking at her — like he’d just flipped a switch and wasn’t planning to turn it off anytime soon.
Her voice was barely a whisper. “You’re not serious.”
Jaehyun smirked again, slower this time. Darker. His hand, still resting lightly on her knee, started to move. Not rushed, just deliberate — dragging up the soft skin of her thigh, under the hem of her skirt. “You think I’m the kind of guy who says things he doesn’t mean?”
She swallowed hard. “Sometimes.”
“Not about this.”
He leaned closer, one knee sliding between her legs as he crowded her space. She could feel the heat of his body, the tension in his muscles — held back, barely. His fingers brushed higher now, just skimming where her inner thigh met the curve of her underwear. Her breath hitched.
“You’ve been teasing me for months and didn’t even know it,” he murmured, voice low, like a secret just for her. “Walking around in those short skirts, curling up in my bed like it’s yours, making these little sounds when you read your dirty books.”
“I—I wasn’t teasing”
He chuckled, dark and low, thumb hooking under the edge of her panties now. “No? Then what are you doing now, letting me touch you like this and not stopping me?”
She couldn’t answer. Not with the way her pulse was racing. Not with the way his mouth was hovering, close enough that she could feel every word ghost over her lips.
“Say something, baby.”
That broke her. She shivered — not from fear, but from the way he said it. Like he owned the word. Like he already owned her.
“I want you,” she whispered, cheeks burning. “I just… I don’t really know what I’m doing.”
His eyes darkened — not in mockery, but something deeper. Fiercer. Possessive.
“I’ll take care of you”
And with that, he kissed her.
It wasn’t sweet. It was slow, claiming, full of intent. His tongue slid past her lips, coaxing rather than demanding, but still leaving no room for doubt. His hand moved behind her neck, tilting her to deepen the kiss while his other pushed her skirt up fully, baring her to the cool air and his warm touch.
She moaned into him — soft, unsure. He swallowed the sound greedily.
“You trust me?” he murmured against her lips, fingers now stroking the damp cotton between her legs.
“Yes,” she breathed, hips twitching into his hand.
“Then be a good girl,” he said, voice pure sin, “and let me show you how good it can feel.”
He pulled her underwear down slowly, trailing kisses from her mouth to her jaw, then down her neck, teeth scraping lightly as he went. “Keep your hands in my sheets,” he ordered, eyes flicking up. “Don’t hide from me.”
She did as he said, fingers curling into his navy-blue comforter, breath coming faster as he shifted lower. He settled between her thighs like he belonged there, dragging his mouth over the inside of her knee before looking up at her — eyes burning.
“Don’t look away,” he said softly, almost tender. “I want you to watch me when I make you fall apart.”
And then his mouth was on her.
Hot. Wet. Expert.
She gasped, arching, one hand flying to her mouth only for him to pull back and growl, “Hands. In. The. Sheets.”
She obeyed, whimpering when he dove back in, licking and sucking her clit with slow, devastating precision. He took his time, letting her fall apart inch by inch, building the tension until she was trembling, thighs threatening to close around his head.
“Jaehyun,” she sobbed, nearly there.
“Come for me,” he whispered, lips brushing her clit with the words. “Right now. Be good and come on my tongue.”
She shattered.
She came with a cry, thighs shaking, hips bucking into his mouth as he held her down and took everything she gave him.
Only when she stopped trembling did he pull back, lips glistening, eyes dark with something dangerous.
And he still wasn’t done.
“Now,” he said, tugging his shirt over his head and revealing the body she’d only ever dared to imagine, “you’re gonna lie back like that sweet little mess you are—” he undid his belt slowly, letting the sound echo in the room, “and take your reward like a good girl.”
Y/N’s breath was still catching in her throat when she watched Jaehyun rise above her — slow and steady, like he had all the time in the world. His eyes never left hers. Not even as he kicked off his jeans, fingers moving with that same calm confidence that was driving her absolutely insane.
She’d never seen him like this. Not fully.
Not like this — shirtless, flushed, cock hard and heavy in his hand as he stroked it lazily while looking down at her like she was something to be worshipped.
“You have no idea how long I’ve wanted this,” he murmured, crawling over her. His fingers traced the outline of her face, brushing hair from her cheek like she was fragile. “You—like this. Under me.”
She bit her lip, heart thudding. “Why didn’t you say anything?”
His smile was soft now, almost sad. “Because you were mine long before you ever knew it. And I wasn’t gonna risk losing you… not until I knew you wanted this too.”
She didn’t answer. Just reached up, touching his cheek, then trailing her fingers down his chest, the tight muscles flexing beneath her touch.
“I do,” she whispered. “I want you.”
That was all he needed.
Jaehyun leaned down and kissed her again — this time slower. Deeper. All tongue and warmth, his body lowering to press fully against hers, skin to skin. She could feel everything: his heat, the weight of him, the way his cock slid against her slick folds, not yet inside but enough to make her whimper.
His hand found hers beside her head, fingers lacing together. “You ready, baby?”
She nodded, voice gone.
“Words.”
“Yes,” she breathed. “I’m ready. Please.”
His groan was low, strained. “Fuck. You’re gonna feel so good.”
And then — slowly, carefully — he pushed in.
The stretch was unfamiliar, thick and hot and so much, but he didn’t rush. He kissed her through it, whispered against her skin, his free hand stroking her thigh as he sank in inch by inch.
“That’s it,” he murmured, lips brushing her temple. “Just breathe. You’re doing so good.”
She clung to him, eyes wide, overwhelmed in the best way as he finally bottomed out, buried to the hilt and panting against her neck.
“God, you’re tight,” he growled, stilling for a moment. “I’m not gonna last long if you keep clenching like that.”
“Move,” she gasped. “Please, Jae
He did.
His hips pulled back and rolled forward again, slow and smooth, grinding into her with a rhythm that made her toes curl. Every thrust was measured, sensual, like he wanted her to feel every single inch of him — and she did. Her legs wrapped around his waist instinctively, trying to pull him deeper, closer, more.
“That’s it, baby,” he groaned, biting down on her shoulder. “You take me so well. Like you were made for this. Made for me.”
She couldn’t hold back the moan that tore from her throat.
Jaehyun caught it with a kiss, swallowing the sound as he picked up pace, just a little. The bed creaked, the air thick with heat and breath and the slick sounds of skin on skin.
But through it all, he kept touching her — his hand on her cheek, his mouth on her throat, like he couldn’t get enough of her. Like this wasn’t just sex. Like it was something more.
“You feel everything?” he panted against her skin.
She nodded desperately. “Feels so good… you feel so good…”
“I’ve got you,” he said, voice wrecked but still soft. “I’ll take care of you. Gonna make you come again, alright?”
His thumb found her clit, rubbing in tight circles while he drove into her, each thrust making her cry out.
“Let go for me,” he groaned, forehead pressed to hers. “Come all over my cock like a good girl.”
She shattered with a scream, legs locking around him as her orgasm ripped through her. Jaehyun followed with a curse, hips stuttering as he came deep inside her, holding her close like he never wanted to let go.
And when it was over — when the room was filled with only the sound of their breathing and the soft thump of his heartbeat against her chest — he kissed her again.
This time, it was gentle. Loving.
“I meant what I said,” he whispered, brushing his nose against hers. “You’re mine.”
Her fingers curled in his hair, a lazy smile spreading across her lips.
“Good,” she whispered. “Because I’m not going anywhere.”
Jaehyun didn’t pull away right away. He stayed inside her, warm and pulsing, forehead resting against hers while his fingers lazily traced the curve of her hip. His breath was still heavy, but his touch was gentle — grounding. Worshipful.
Y/N’s legs were still wrapped loosely around him, and even though her body was spent, she didn’t want to let go.
“Was it too much?” he asked softly, eyes searching hers like he hadn’t just made her see stars.
She smiled, tired and blissed out. “No… it was perfect.”
He kissed her nose, then her cheek, then finally her lips again — slow and sweet this time, no urgency. Just affection.
“I’ll get you cleaned up,” he murmured, carefully slipping out of her. She whimpered at the loss, and he chuckled, low and fond. “I know, baby. I’ll be right back.”
True to his word, he returned with a warm cloth, cleaning her up gently, murmuring quiet praises and brushing hair from her forehead.
“So pretty when you’re all fucked out,” he teased, but his touch was careful, his eyes soft. Once she was tucked into his sheets — now officially hers too — he pulled her into his chest and stroked her back.
“You did so good,” he whispered. “I’ve never wanted someone like I want you.”
She blinked up at him sleepily. “I’ve never let anyone in like this before…”
Jaehyun leaned down and kissed her again, just because he could.
“You’re mine now,” he said, half-possessive, half-promise.
She fell asleep with her head on his chest, heart full and body aching in the best way.
THE NEXT MORNING
Y/N was deep in sleep, limbs tangled in Jaehyun’s sheets, when she felt something warm and firm press against the back of her thigh.
At first, she stirred faintly, breath hitching as the sensation grew — the softest kisses trailing up her spine, teeth nipping at her shoulder, a hand sliding under the hem of his oversized shirt she wore to bed.
“Morning, baby,” Jaehyun’s voice rasped against her skin, already thick with lust. “You looked too pretty not to touch.”
She whined in protest — half asleep, half already aching. “Jae…”
“You gonna pretend you don’t like it?” he murmured, hand sliding between her legs. She was already wet, and he groaned in satisfaction. “Damn. You were dreaming about me, weren’t you?”
“Mmm… maybe,” she teased, wiggling her hips a little.
His grip tightened slightly. “That attitude’s gonna get you in trouble.”
“Oh no,” she said innocently. “Whatever will you do?”
His hand slid around her throat — not tight, just firm, grounding, possessive — and she gasped at the sudden rush it gave her. Her thighs squeezed together, and Jaehyun noticed instantly.
“Oh?” he grinned, low and wicked. “You like being choked, baby?”
She bit her lip but didn’t answer.
“That was a yes,” he muttered, flipping her onto her back, spreading her thighs. “You should’ve told me. I’d’ve had you crying in pleasure last night.”
His hand stayed at her throat, still gentle, still careful — but undeniably dominant as he slid inside her again, this time with more force. More hunger.
She cried out, hands flying to his biceps, nails digging in.
“Still sore?” he panted, driving into her deeper. “Too bad. You’re the one who woke up wet and bratty.”
“You’re such—ah—an ass.”
He smirked. “Yeah? Then why are you moaning like that?”
He grabbed her thighs and pinned them open, his pace picking up — steady but rougher, his abs flexing as he fucked her into the mattress, groaning every time she clenched around him.
“You want it harder, don’t you?” he breathed against her mouth. “Want me to ruin this sweet little pussy again?”
“Yes—fuck—Jaehyun…”
“Touch yourself,” he ordered. “Be a good girl. Let me see.”
Her fingers found her clit instantly, circling as he pounded into her harder, more unrestrained now. He was still watching her, though — eyes glued to her face, hand tight around her throat again, thumb brushing her jaw.
“You gonna come for me like this?” he growled. “Choked and used and full of me?”
She nodded, eyes rolling back. “Jaehyun—I’m gonna—”
“Do it,” he demanded. “Come now.”
She shattered under him with a scream, clenching around him like a vice — and he followed with a loud groan, spilling inside her again, thrusts slowing as he milked every second of her orgasm.
When it was over, he collapsed on top of her, then rolled them gently so she was cradled against him again.
“You’re gonna kill me,” she breathed.
He chuckled against her hair. “You say that like I’m done with you.”
Her eyes fluttered shut, a lazy smile on her lips.
She was absolutely ruined. And she wouldn’t have it any other way.
The room was thick with heat, the air heavy from everything they’d already done — the tangled sheets, their sweat-slicked bodies, the faint scent of sex still clinging to the air.
Jaehyun was lying back against the pillows now, one arm behind his head, the other lazily brushing along her spine as she rested on his chest, both of them trying to catch their breath. He looked smug. Satisfied. Like a man who’d just conquered something sweet and sacred.
But she wasn’t done.
Y/N lifted her head, eyes dark with mischief and still-flushed cheeks. She trailed her hand down his abs, letting her fingers drift lower, nails teasing just above where the blanket covered his hips.
Jaehyun groaned, low and surprised. “No way. You’re not seriously ready for more.”
She straddled him without a word, sliding up until she was seated right over him, warm and wet and barely hidden by the thin sheet between them. Her hands braced on his chest as she leaned down.
“I wanna ride you,” she whispered against his lips.
Jaehyun’s breath caught. His eyes snapped open, pupils blown wide. “Fuck. Are you even real?”
She grinned and rocked her hips slightly, feeling him twitch beneath her. “You’re not scared I’ll break you, are you?”
“Scared?” He growled, yanking the sheet away so she was bare above him. “I’m scared you’re gonna pass out. You were crying into my mouth ten minutes ago.”
“Let me show you what I want,” she said, grinding harder now. “Please.”
That word — that please — did something to him.
He watched her sit up, take him in her hand, and line him up with her entrance. The head of his cock slid against her soaked folds, and they both groaned at the contact. Then, slowly, so fucking slowly, she sank down on him.
Jaehyun’s head hit the headboard with a dull thud.
“Holy shit,” he hissed. “You feel even tighter like this.”
Her hands gripped his stomach for balance as she started to move, hips rising and falling in a slow, hypnotic rhythm. Her thighs trembled slightly, but she kept going, riding him with a mix of inexperience and raw, aching need.
And he watched her — eyes locked on the way her breasts bounced, the way her lips parted in moans, the way her nails clawed at his chest as she found the pace that made her see stars.
“Look at you,” he rasped. “Taking what you want. Fucking yourself on my cock like you need it.”
“I do,” she gasped. “You feel so good, Jaehyun—fuck—don’t stop looking at me.”
“Never,” he promised, hands finding her hips, helping her grind deeper, harder, until the sounds of wet skin and broken cries echoed in the room. “You’re so fucking sexy like this. Like you were made to ride me.”
She moaned louder, pace faltering as her legs began to tremble harder. She leaned forward, bracing herself on his chest, thighs burning, every inch of her buzzing with overstimulation.
Jaehyun saw it — saw her trying to hold on, trying to stay in control — and smirked darkly.
“Getting tired already, baby?”
She bit her lip, nodded just slightly, eyes glassy.
He sat up in one smooth motion, flipping her effortlessly onto the bed and pulling her onto all fours.
“You shouldn’t have tempted me,” he growled, lining himself up behind her. “You knew what this was gonna do to me.”
She barely had time to breathe before he slammed into her from behind — hard, fast, deep — the new angle making her scream into the pillow. He gripped her hips like he owned her, driving into her relentlessly, the bed frame rocking under the force of it.
“F-fuck—Jaehyun—too much—”
“No,” he gritted, bending down to kiss her spine, his hand tangling in her hair. “You wanted to ride me? You wanted to show me what you like? Then take it.”
He yanked her head back gently by her hair, just enough to make her arch. Her back curved perfectly, ass pressed against his hips with every thrust, and he groaned at the sight of it.
“You look so fucking good like this,” he growled, hot against her ear. “You like being used like my personal toy, huh? Getting fucked stupid first thing in the morning?”
She couldn’t answer. Not with the way he was splitting her open, dragging her closer and closer to the edge again. But her whimpers said it all.
Then, suddenly, his chest pressed to her back. One arm wrapped around her waist, the other came up to press gently around her throat — firm, confident, perfect. His lips were at her ear now, whispering filth as he fucked up into her, angle deep and brutal in the most intoxicating way.
“Can feel you tightening,” he whispered, voice ragged. “You gonna come like this? With me choking you? Huh, baby?”
She sobbed, nodding, body jolting with every thrust.
“Do it,” he growled, slamming into her one final time. “Come for me like the good little slut you are.”
She came hard — harder than she had the first time — shaking in his arms, muscles locking up as her climax hit like a wave. Jaehyun wasn’t far behind. He grunted against her neck, hips jerking as he spilled inside her again, holding her close through the aftershocks.
They collapsed together, sweaty, tangled, completely wrecked.
He kissed her shoulder, her jaw, her temple.
“Holy fuck,” he whispered. “You were not kidding about round two.”
She laughed breathlessly, collapsing onto her back. “You look ruined.”
“I am,” he groaned, flopping beside her. “You ride me like that again and I’m gonna have to put a ring on you.”
She turned, smirking. “So… round three?”
He blinked.
Then grinned.
“Oh, you’re in trouble.”
“Let’s go get cleaned up Jae, i feel super dirty” she says
All he can think about is what he’ll do to her in the shower
“Anything you want princess, but don’t think i’m done with you yet.”
SHOWER SCENE
Steam had already filled the bathroom by the time Jaehyun dragged her in, lips locked to hers like he couldn’t bear to part for even a second. His hands were on her ass, squeezing, guiding her backwards toward the hot spray as their bodies pressed together.
The second the water hit her back, she gasped — warm and soothing, a perfect contrast to the sharp ache still lingering between her legs from earlier. But Jaehyun wasn’t giving her a break.
His mouth dropped to her throat, sucking a bruise into her skin while his hands slid down her slick body, worshipping every curve like he hadn’t just fucked her senseless.
“You’re unreal,” he muttered into her neck. “I get you off twice, and you’re still looking at me like you want more.”
“I do want more,” she whispered back, fingers curling into his damp hair.
He growled, spinning her and pressing her front to the fogged-up glass wall, hands spreading her legs apart. The hot water ran down her body, pooling between her thighs — and then she felt him again, thick and heavy, sliding against her already-sensitive core.
“Fuck, baby,” he groaned. “Still so wet for me. You want it here? Against the glass?”
“Y-yeah,” she panted. “Want you to fuck me, Jaehyun—just fuck me.”
He slid in without warning — hot, deep, and thick — and she nearly screamed from how sensitive she still was. The glass rattled with each thrust as he buried himself inside her over and over, pace rough but controlled, one hand gripping her hip, the other wrapped tight around her throat.
“You’re so fucking tight,” he panted. “Even after everything, you still suck me in like it’s your first time.”
Her legs shook, breath fogging the glass.
He leaned in, lips brushing her ear. “Say my name.”
She moaned, voice cracking. “D-Daddy—!”
Everything stopped.
Jaehyun froze mid-thrust, his whole body going still behind her. For a second, all they could hear was the pounding of the water and her own ragged breathing.
Then he twitched inside her — hard.
“W-Wait,” she gasped, panicking. “I didn’t mean—! I mean, I—shit, I didn’t know it would just come out—”
He laughed.
Low. Dark. Dangerous.
“You didn’t know?” he repeated, pulling out of her slowly, then turning her to face him. His hands slid down to grab her ass, hard. “Princess, you could’ve called me that ages ago.”
Her eyes widened as he pushed her back against the tiled wall, gripping her thigh and hiking it up over his hip.
“You like that shit, huh?” he murmured, dragging the head of his cock through her folds again. “Calling me ‘Daddy’ while I fuck you dumb? You dirty little thing.”
She whimpered, already melting.
“Say it again.”
She looked up at him, lips trembling. “Daddy…”
He groaned and slammed into her in one rough stroke, hand coming down on her ass with a loud smack. The sound echoed off the tile, mixing with her gasp as he started thrusting hard — deeper than before, the slap of skin on skin bouncing off the shower walls.
“That’s my girl,” he growled. “Fucking take it.”
She clung to him, the rhythm brutal but addicting — loud, wet, and desperate. His hand gripped her throat again, squeezing just enough to make her moan louder, and his other hand delivered another hard spank to her ass, making her jolt.
“Such a good little slut,” he hissed. “Taking your daddy’s cock like this.”
“Y-You’re so full of yourself,” she managed to choke out, even as her moans stuttered with every hard thrust. “Bet you say that to all your little brats.”
He laughed — low and wrecked. “You’re lucky I like that mouth.”
Another slap. Another choke. Another deep thrust that made her legs shake.
“You keep acting like a brat,” he murmured, licking up her neck, “and I’ll bend you over the sink next.”
She grinned through her moans, breathless. “You say that like it’s a threat.”
Jaehyun snapped.
He lifted her effortlessly, pinning her against the wall with his body and pounding up into her — hard, sloppy, loud. The water only added to the sound, the slick slide of his cock inside her driving them both insane.
Her head fell back, nails scratching at his shoulders.
“I’m gonna—fuck—gonna come—”
“Come for me,” he commanded, hand tightening at her throat, his mouth on hers as she shattered. Her whole body trembled, walls clenching around him in rhythmic waves. He didn’t stop — just kept going, chasing his own high until his thrusts grew erratic and he came hard inside her again, groaning her name like a prayer.
They stayed like that — shaking, dripping wet, bodies plastered together under the stream — until their breathing evened out.
Jaehyun leaned in, kissed her temple, then whispered against her cheek:
“You call me daddy again, and I swear, I might just fuck the shit out of you with no mercy.”
She laughed — spent, wrecked, and so, so happy.
“Guess I’ll have to say it more often, then.”
He smirked, brushing hair from her face. “You’re so getting bent over that sink next.”
Tumblr media
Few weeks later
The music pulsed through the walls of the club, heavy and hot, bass vibrating through the floors like it had its own heartbeat.
Lights flashed overhead in dizzy bursts — red, blue, violet. The crowd moved like waves, hips grinding, drinks spilling, bodies brushing close in the dark.
And somewhere in the middle of it all, Y/N was dancing.
Jaehyun leaned against the bar, jaw clenched, sipping his drink as he watched her with hooded eyes. Her dress was short — dangerously so — clinging to her body like it had been designed to drive him insane. And she knew it. Oh, she fucking knew it.
He watched her laugh at something some random guy whispered in her ear, watched her throw her head back, touching his arm like it was nothing.
But it wasn’t nothing. Not to him.
Because she wasn’t just his best friend anymore. Not after that night on his bed. Not after the shower. Not after she called him daddy with his hand wrapped around her throat.
And yet here she was — pretending they were still just roommates. Still just close friends out clubbing.
Pretending she didn’t know exactly what she was doing.
He downed the rest of his drink and set the glass down a little too hard.
Fine.
Two could play.
When she finally turned to glance at him across the floor — all heat and mischief and sweat-slick skin — he didn’t smile. Didn’t nod. Just stared.
That heavy, unreadable stare that made her thighs press together.
She turned back to the guy dancing behind her, but her hips slowed.
She felt it. The shift.
Jaehyun wasn’t just watching anymore.
He was waiting.
She leaned into the stranger’s touch a little more, lips parting in mock laughter.
And across the room, Jaehyun’s jaw ticked.
She should’ve stopped there. Should’ve known better. But she was tipsy — on alcohol, on attention, on him. And she was feeling bratty.
So when she brushed past Jaehyun to grab another drink, she leaned in real close, whispered in his ear:
“Jealous much?”
He didn’t respond. Just looked at her. Unblinking.
So she smirked. Teased her finger along the edge of his collar. “I’m gonna go freshen up. Try not to stare too hard while I walk away.”
She turned.
Jaehyun waited exactly three seconds before downing the last of his drink and following her.
The hallway to the restroom was dim, empty except for the muffled throb of music bleeding through the walls.
Y/N stepped into the women’s restroom, humming under her breath, cheeks flushed from dancing. She leaned over the sink, fixing her lipstick, unaware that the door behind her didn’t fully close.
Then — a click. The lock.
She turned, startled — and there he was.
Jaehyun.
Broad, dark-eyed, towering in the tight space.
“Jae—? What are you—”
“You done?”
His voice was low. Rough. Dangerous.
She blinked. “What?”
He stepped forward, crowding her back against the sink.
“This game you’re playing. You done teasing?”
She laughed — a little breathless now. “It’s not a game—”
“Yes it is,” he cut her off, hand bracing beside her head. “You think I don’t know what you’re doing? Grinding on some guy like I haven’t fucked you raw three times this week?”
Her breath hitched.
His hand slid to her throat, thumb tilting her chin up.
“You want me to lose it, don’t you?”
“I—maybe.”
His eyes darkened.
“Then congratulations.”
He spun her around before she could react, bending her over the sink. She gasped, bracing herself on the edge as he yanked up her dress — no preamble, no hesitation. Just pure, possessive energy.
“I tried to be patient,” he muttered, dragging his hand down her spine. “Tried to let you play your little game. But you just had to push me.”
“Jaehyun—”
“Shut up,” he growled, yanking her panties to the side. “You don’t get to act like a brat and then pretend you don’t want this.”
She whimpered — hips wiggling just slightly. A challenge.
So he spanked her.
Hard.
The slap echoed in the bathroom, followed by her muffled moan as her hands clenched the edge of the sink.
“I’ll make sure everyone in that club knows who you belong to,” he whispered against her ear. “Even if they never see it.”
Then he pushed into her — slow, punishingly deep — until she was gasping and arching and biting her lip to keep from moaning too loud.
Jaehyun didn’t hold back.
He set a brutal rhythm, fucking into her with possessive precision, each thrust angled perfectly to make her cry out.
One hand tangled in her hair, yanking her head back, the other snaked around her waist to choke her gently — thumb pressing right under her jawline.
“You like being used like this?” he hissed. “Bent over a dirty sink like a slut?”
“Y-Yes—fuck—”
“You gonna flirt with another guy again?”
She laughed through a moan — bratty to the end. “Only if you watch.”
He growled and slammed into her harder, one hand smacking her ass again, the other gripping her throat tighter.
“You’re gonna pay for that later.”
“P-Promise?”
He fucked her until her legs gave out, until her moans turned into broken little gasps, until her mascara started to smear from the tears she didn’t even notice.
And when she finally came — hard, shaking, back arched like a bow — Jaehyun followed right behind, spilling into her with a groan that sounded like her name.
They stayed like that for a moment — panting, pressed together, sweaty and flushed — the scent of sex thick in the air.
Finally, he pulled back, fixing her dress and kissing her neck.
“You okay?”
She turned, breathless, eyes blown wide. “I want a round two.”
He smirked. “Back to the apartment.”
“No,” she whispered, tugging him down by the collar.
“I meant in the stall.”
The door to the stall slammed shut behind them, barely catching on the lock before Y/N was already on her knees — dress rumpled, pupils blown wide, lips parted in that wrecked little smile that made Jaehyun twitch.
“You’re getting way too good at that,” he muttered, looking down at her. “Dropping like that without me saying a word?”
She just smirked, fingers curling around his waistband as she undid his jeans, slow and teasing. “You didn’t need to say it.”
Jaehyun hissed between his teeth as she pulled him out, her hand wrapping around his cock like it was second nature by now. And maybe it was.
“You’re already so hard,” she murmured, tongue sliding out to trace his tip. “You like me like this, don’t you?”
He stared down at her, hand threading into her hair. “I like you better when your mouth’s full.”
She grinned — brat — and took him in, slow at first, letting her lips stretch around him, letting him feel every inch. Her hands held him at the base, stroking where her mouth couldn’t reach yet, and soon she was bobbing her head, taking more and more, tongue swirling, moaning around him.
And fuck, that sound…
His hips jerked forward instinctively.
But then he saw it.
Her other hand.
Slipped under her dress. Between her legs. Fingers buried where he should be.
“Y/N,” he growled.
She stilled — mouth still full, eyes flicking up to meet his.
“What do you think you’re doing?” His voice dropped, dangerous. “Did I say you could touch yourself?”
She whimpered around him, lips tightening, but she didn’t move her hand.
He stepped forward, forcing her to take more of him, groaning when she gagged just slightly, those wet, obscene noises echoing off the tile.
Then his leg moved between hers, spreading her wider.
“I said—” his hand fisted in her hair, yanking her off him, spit dripping from her lips “—did I fucking say you could touch yourself?”
“N-No,” she whispered, breathless.
“So what the fuck are you doing?”
She opened her mouth to answer but he was already dragging her up by her hair and spinning her, slamming her back into the stall door.
“You wanna act like a slut?” he muttered. “Then I’ll treat you like one.”
He didn’t wait.
He shoved into her in one hard, punishing thrust that made her eyes roll back. His hand clamped over her mouth to muffle the scream, his other hand slipping under her thigh to hook it around his hip and keep her wide open for him.
He fucked her hard — rough, deep, possessive. Every thrust shoved her into the door, the stall rattling with every slap of skin on skin. His palm came down on her ass in sharp smacks that echoed louder than her moans.
“You like this?” he panted. “Getting used like a toy in some filthy club stall?”
She moaned, clawing at his back.
“What was that?” he taunted. “Didn’t hear you.”
“Yes—yes, daddy—”
He growled, fucking her even deeper, sweat dripping down his temple.
Her body clenched — tight, fluttering — and just when she was about to fall over the edge—
He stopped.
Pulled out.
Her whine was immediate, high and needy.
“What the fuck—Jaehyun—!”
“You don’t deserve to cum,” he said simply. “Not yet.”
She sobbed — bratty and ruined — but he flipped her again, bending her over the toilet tank this time, fucking her from behind at a new angle that had her shaking almost instantly.
Then the phone in her purse started ringing.
They both paused for half a second — then Jaehyun’s grin turned vicious.
“Answer it.”
“What—?”
“Answer the fucking phone.”
She fumbled for it with shaking fingers, not even checking the caller ID.
“H-Hello?”
“Hey, it’s Johnny,” came the casual voice on the other end. “I was thinking we should hit up that new rooftop bar next week. You down?”
She tried to breathe. Tried to speak.
Jaehyun grabbed her hips and slammed into her hard, making her lurch forward with a muffled cry.
“Y/N?” Johnny asked. “You good?”
She bit her lip hard, trying to speak through the moan threatening to rip out of her throat. “Y-Yeah, I—mhm—‘m good, just—um—club’s really loud.”
Jaehyun’s hand snaked around to rub slow, brutal circles against her clit.
She whimpered.
“Oh,” Johnny said, clearly pausing. “…should I call back later?”
Jaehyun leaned down, whispering into her ear loud enough to be heard: “Go on. Moan for him, princess.”
She couldn’t help it.
She slipped — loud and sharp and filthy.
“Oh fuck—”
Silence on the line.
Then Johnny’s voice, tight. “Yeah. Uh. Definitely calling back later.”
Click.
The line went dead.
Johnny’s POV
He stared at the screen for a second, blinking.
Across the table, his friends were still chatting, laughing over drinks.
“You good?” one of them asked, noticing his expression.
Johnny cleared his throat, cheeks flushed red. “Y-Yeah. Just… think I called at a weird time.”
He shoved his phone into his pocket and picked up his drink again, but his mind was definitely not on the conversation anymore.
All he could hear was her voice in his head.
That moan.
Fuck.
Back to Jaehyun
“Oh?” Jaehyun murmured, thrusting slow and deep now, cock dragging against every sensitive spot. “You clenched so hard when he was on the phone.”
She moaned, wrecked.
“You like being fucked while someone’s listening?”
She nodded.
He laughed — low and dangerous. “Maybe you’d like getting fucked while someone watches too.”
She gasped — and clenched again.
“Oh my god,” he grinned. “You’re such a slut.”
Then he leaned down, lips at her ear.
“Maybe I should invite Johnny next time.”
She moaned — high and needy.
“You’d like that, huh?” he growled. “Two cocks instead of one? One in your mouth, one in your pussy? Letting him see how dumb you get when I fuck you like this?”
She nodded again, panting. “P-Please—daddy—”
“Maybe he’d let me cum,” she teased through a moan. “You’re so mean—”
His hand flew to her throat.
“You wanna come?” he hissed, slamming into her. “Then beg for it.”
She whimpered.
“Beg like a good little slut. Or I’ll keep edging you until you cry.”
Her breath came in ragged gasps, thighs trembling, cheek pressed against the cold stall door as Jaehyun’s grip tightened around her throat. Not enough to hurt — not really — but just enough to remind her who she belonged to.
His cock was buried deep inside her, dragging slow, punishing thrusts that had her clenching and fluttering with every drag. She was so close — could feel the edge of it, hot and prickling and just out of reach.
But he wasn’t giving it to her.
Not yet.
“Go on,” he murmured against her ear, breath hot. “You were talking real bold a second ago.”
She whimpered, squirming under him.
“You said maybe Johnny would let you cum.” His voice dropped, dangerous. “You still think that?”
She shook her head quickly, mouth falling open with a gasped moan when he snapped his hips forward again, hitting that spot that made her knees nearly buckle.
“Then beg.”
“I—daddy—please,” she whispered. “Please let me cum, I need it—”
“Not good enough.” His hand slid between her legs, rubbing circles over her soaked clit, fast and firm and mean. “You can do better than that.”
She sobbed, writhing under his grip.
“Please, daddy,” she choked out. “I’ll be good, I swear—don’t wanna be a brat anymore—just wanna cum—please—”
“Say what you are.”
“I’m your slut,” she gasped. “I’m your filthy little slut and I don’t wanna cum unless you say I can—”
His hand slammed over her mouth just in time as he rammed into her — hard, punishing, each thrust stealing air from her lungs.
“Now,” he growled. “Cum for me. Loud.”
She shattered.
Her scream was lost in his palm, her whole body convulsing around him, legs giving out as her orgasm hit her like a truck. Her walls clamped around him so tight he groaned into her neck, hips stuttering as she milked every drop of sensation from him.
But he didn’t stop.
Not even close.
He pulled her back up, arms wrapped around her waist from behind, holding her flush to his chest while he kept fucking her through it, her body twitching and oversensitive.
“You thought we were done?” he rasped. “I’m not finished with you yet.”
She whimpered, head falling back against his shoulder.
“You begged so pretty for that one,” he said, voice low and smug. “Let’s see how long you last now.”
He brought her to the edge again.
And again.
And again.
She didn’t know how long it had been. Minutes? Hours? Time had dissolved into a haze of overstimulation and gasped breaths, of rough hands and soft kisses and bruising thrusts that made her see stars.
Eventually, Jaehyun finally pulled out, chest heaving, watching her collapse against the door with her dress riding up, thighs shaking, lipstick smeared across her cheek.
“Fuck,” he muttered, bending to kiss the base of her spine. “You look ruined.”
“I am ruined,” she mumbled, barely able to lift her head.
He laughed, soft but smug, and kissed her shoulder. “Come on. Let’s get you cleaned up.”
A/N: SHESH that was intense… i didn’t really expect it to go this far but i just went with the flow🥸 what do you guys think- yall want me to end it here or have a part 2 with a potential invite to johnny…👁️👄👁️

untitled cnc excerpt and poll below the cut
so I just went ahead and copied and pasted what I had and made it neutral for now by removing Jeffrey's name. this will not be an insert idol fic and it won't be an option in the poll.
again this is a cnc roleplay. concept please don't read this if you're not comfortable.
and please don't vote unless you actually read what's below
🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪
That’s the thing about him. He’s quiet heat. Unassuming, easygoing, the kind of man who, when he first started seeing you, always made sure to find a parking spot, walk you to your door, and never once hinted at wanting to see your bare ankles, much less take you to bed. When you finally invited him in, he came with nothing but good intentions and let you set the pace. Even the first time you touched him, he didn’t move- didn’t lay a hand on you until you put it there yourself. He jokes that he’s always worn the pants but you both know the truth: he let you lead. He indulged you, studied you, made you feel cherished. And somewhere along the way, without ever raising his voice or staking a claim, he wrapped you in a slow, smoldering hold that has yet to turn you loose.
To the outside world, you’re his sweetheart- but behind closed doors, everything shifts. It’s something else entirely: electric, unrestrained, and always teetering on the edge of something unnamed and laced with a mutual ferocity that almost scares you. He doesn’t just indulge your kinks- he commands them. He’s choked you with your own scarves, spat into your open mouth, filmed you broken and breathless on all fours, tears streaking your face as he fucked you mercilessly from behind. He’s made you cum until your body shook, then coaxed a thank you from your lips like it was owed. He’s laughed- stoned, smug, and in love- as he watched you mold his cock with a clone-a-willy kit, then fucked the hardened replica into you with one hand, the other tightening around your throat, his eyes locked on yours like it was a game he’d already won the moment he watched you purchase the box.
He’s been it all- your dumb, sweet boyfriend who tries open mic stand-up at the local bar and dedicates it to you but can never finish a joke without cracking up. Your daddy with a filthy mouth and a talent for coaxing you to your knees with nothing but a glance. A friend with open arms and no judgment, who lets you scream into his chest when your feelings get too big- and lets you wrestle him and win when nothing else will do.
He is your everything, because somehow, he is everything.
But lately, the dynamic has shifted deeper. Not that the passion has cooled- rather, it’s paused, hanging on the edge of something even darker, something deeper. It feels like a game of chicken: who will dare to push further and will that risk ruin everything or ignite something new?
One night, you tested the waters after he returned from a long recording session, “Oh… I thought I heard someone come in,” you called out casually- loud enough for him to hear- as you loaded your dog’s sweaters into the washer, “I sure do hope it's my fiance and not a stranger- or worse, that crazy sex addict who escaped from the local psych ward that they mentioned on the news a month ago… I wonder if they ever found him...”
It was cheesy, even bordering on parody- but it worked. The night unfolded like a low-budget porn disguised as a horror, thick with tension and thrill but showered in forced awkward lines and laughter, just enough to scratch an itch that wasn’t completely removed. And afterward, that fantasy- layered, dangerous, and intoxicating- began to haunt you. You found yourself craving the feeling of being helpless. Really helpless. He sensed it; yet for a long while, he held back… until one morning… he finally cracked.
“Remember that night we played out the ‘scared little woman and escaped lunatic’ scene? When I fucked you against the kitchen counter with your panties in your mouth?” He asked one night, his voice low, laced with something darker.
You nodded, heart already thudding in your chest. That night had been a spark- this was the fire. From the moment you said yes, He took the reins, carefully crafting every detail, every moment, to turn a shared fantasy into lived experience.
That morning, when you offered him a shy, knowing smile, something in him shifted. His gaze darkened- not with menace but rather, intent. Like your silent yes had unlocked something he'd been holding back. He kissed you then- slowly, carefully- not like a lover but like a man in love and afraid of how much he needs you. Desperate and reverent all at once.
The planning wasn’t about choreography. He, knowing the thrill comes from chaos, wasn’t interested in perfection. He was meticulous because he needed you to feel safe enough to fall apart. To hand yourself over in every way and trust he’d catch you- no matter how hard or dark the descent.
“You don’t have to go through with this,” he told you one night, voice thick as his fingers traced a slow path down your thigh, “But if you do… and if you really want it to feel real… you’ll have to let go. Completely.”
His gaze was steady and your skin washed over with a newfound heat, “That means, at some point, you’re going to realize that you can’t save yourself. And when that happens, I need you to remember one thing: don’t panic. Use the safeword- even if you’re just unsure- doesn't have to be a hard limit- could just be your nerves… Whatever it is, I really dont care. You use that safeword. That’s your only lifeline. Everything else- every protest, every plea- is mine to play with.”
“Are we… doing anal?” you asked softly.
“Is it a hard limit?” he asked in return.
You paused, thinking through the weight of it. Then slowly, you shook your head, “I think I’m open to it.”
He nodded, the corner of his mouth twitching, “Good to know.”
You studied his face, “So… are you going to?”
He gave a small shrug, “Don’t know yet. I can’t put the fear of God in you if you know everything I’m gonna do. You gotta go in blind, honey.”
🔪 🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪
now. this is a miniscule excerpt from the meat and potatoes of the fic:
“Show me your tongue.”
Your head shakes on instinct, “I… please don’t make me do this. Sir, please-” Your voice cracks, tears already threatening. You don’t even know why- maybe it’s the not-knowing, the waiting, the sharp edge of uncertainty slicing right through you.
You flinch, “No, mister- please… please..."
“Now, bitch.”
He slaps you, this time with the back of his hand. It's controlled just as before but this time, brutal in its intention, “If you won’t let me fuck your mouth, I’ll fuck your ass instead. Pick a hole, bitch.”
Your body moves before he can even blink and you lunge for the knife on the end table and scramble back, hands trembling. He may be stronger than you but you'll always be faster than him. That’s something you both share: a debate of your brains and stealth over his brains and brute strength- one that could go either way but all boils down to how quick you can be. All he needs is one good hold on you. One good hold on any part of you and only the hand of God himself could free you.
He laughs. Low. Sinister.
“I knew you were gonna pull something like this,” he says, shaking his head, amused, “A small part of me hoped you wouldn’t embarrass yourself... but honestly? This is better..."
His smile turns razor-sharp, “Because now I get to show you how real this gets.”
He lifts the hem of his hoodie- and pulls out a gun from a holster.
You freeze.
His grin dissolves, morphing into something cold and calculating, the barrel already pointed at your face, “This,” he says, cocking the gun with a loud click, “This is how fucking real it gets. No one’s coming to save you... and you can’t save yourself. This. Is. Happening.”
🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪
POLL TIME!!!!!

Taglist: @yewshi @kanekisheart @cigsaftersuh
Tumblr media
The air was warm against your cheek. The summer had ended but the heat lingered like a stubborn heart refusing to see reason. In front of you beyond the wrought iron gates, stretched the steps to your new life but you stood frozen in place.
Mind can be so fickle, and this restless heart even more so. You had waited your entire life to leave your hometown and move to the city. You had dreamed of this college every night and here it was, ready to welcome you.
But you turned your gaze behind— the city quiet from this height. Beyond the mountains in the distance, amidst the swirling roads that led to nowhere, your eyes searched for him.
Jaehyun…
It was two weeks after your high school graduation. You were working late in your father’s store for vinyl records. Just a few minutes before closing time you heard the ding of the tiny bell fixed atop the door. He stumbled in, trying to frantically shut his umbrella which was dripping onto the carpeted floor. His brown pants were soaked at the bottom and his white shirt was wrinkled at the joints.
‘That’s alright,’ you said and he looked up. Despite the umbrella, his hair was slightly damp and the tip of his nose was red. ‘We are closing soon,’ you told him. ‘If you want to browse, I suggest you come back tomorrow morning.’
His curious eyes darted from you to the aisle behind him. ‘Where is...?’
‘Are you looking for my dad?’ you asked, trying to keep your tone professional. ‘He fractured his leg. I’ll be taking care of the shop in his absence.’
He finally managed to close his umbrella and left it by the window.
‘Right,’ he said, walking into the glow of the dim lamp hanging from the ceiling above the counter. This close, you noticed that his cheeks were red too but it wasn’t particularly cold out that night.
‘I am sorry to hear that,’ he said, ‘but by any chance did he mention any Beatles record on hold?’
‘The Beatles…’ you mumbled to yourself and ducked behind the counter to check the cabinets. At the very top, wrapped neatly in a clear film was the record and stuck to it was a post-it that had the word paid written in block letters and a name beside it.
‘Jung…’ you whispered, rising back to your feet to find the light, ‘…Jaehyun.’
It took you a moment to place the name in your head, and when you did, you blurted out, ‘It’s you!’ You looked up at him. ‘You are Jung Jaehyun?!’
Your raised voice had startled him but he replied as even as before, pressing his lips together. ‘That’s correct,’ he said.
‘Get out,’ you gritted out.
‘W-What?’
His blank, ignorant eyes angered you even more.
‘Do you have any idea what you put my father through?’ you yelled, your voice echoing through the empty shop. ‘You have been making these insane demands for those godforsaken rare records ever since you stepped foot into our store!’
You could feel your face heating up, your heart pulsating inside your throat. It was a bad look— shouting at a customer, but you could not stop the words from flowing out.
‘Do you know how difficult it is for my father to find them?! It’s because of you that he had an accident and fractured his leg. He was out in the rain to get your stupid record!’
‘I…’ He stared at you, mouth agape and his face drained of colour. He had shrunk under your gaze somehow. ‘I… I had no idea.’
‘Of course, you didn’t!’ you spat back, the thin record shaking between your trembling fingers. ‘All you rich kids care about is your own convenience!’
‘That’s a harsh judgement to make,’ he returned, though not unkindly.
‘Harsh?’ You let out a mirthless laugh. You could not believe your own anger. The bulb over the counter flickered like a dull firework as the record player in the corner switched to the next song.
‘I’ll tell you what’s harsh. All his life, my father has worked tirelessly in this shop to raise me alone and I have done nothing but kept my nose buried in books so I could get into the best university in Seoul.’
You sighed, pressing your palm to your forehead to control the wretched tears that were pricking the corner of your eyes.
‘This was my last summer before college. My last chance to taste freedom and it’s ruined because of you! I am stuck in this shop, working all day. The boxes are heavy, the shelves are high. I don’t know any of the customers and all they really do is ask about my dad. I haven’t even eaten all day but I can’t complain to anyone without looking like an ungrateful brat!’
There was more you wanted to say but you had no breath left in you. Besides, you had embarrassed yourself enough and you couldn’t risk crying in front of him.
‘Just take this and leave.’ You held out the record to him.
His hand reached out immediately but stopped just centimetres from the edge.
‘Take it,’ you repeated, hiding the hitch in your voice. You did not rush his hesitation— there was no other customer in the shop waiting anyway. At last, when he closed his fingers over the record, you let the rest of your anger flow out of you with it.
‘What?’ you asked. He was still standing at the counter, staring at you. Maybe you had been too harsh but your anger didn’t allow any sympathy.
‘I can pay the hospital bill,’ he mumbled, clutching the record tightly in his hands.
‘There is no need,’ you replied. You could not let your pride take another hit after making a complete fool out of yourself in front of a complete stranger. ‘Just… don’t come back here again.’
You regretted saying it the moment the words left your lips.
When you had first learned of Jaehyun through your father, you had imagined a stoic, old man in his 50s, dressed in an unnecessarily expensive suit with a cigar in his hand and a flashy gold chain around his neck. He definitely seemed the kind with his incessant demands for particularly hard-to-find, expensive records. He liked nothing in the shop.
Pretentious bastard, you had called him.
But standing in front of you was a boy, who didn’t look much older than you. He was careful with the record while stowing it away in his bag, holding it delicately by the edges. Despite your outburst, there was a twinkle in his eyes, one that you recognized all too well— your father had it too whenever he got his hands on a new record.
In the wake of your receding anger, you saw clearly how frightened you had made him but he did not protest again. Without another word, he left, stopping only for a moment at the door but he did not speak whatever it was he wanted to say.
However, that was not the end. He came back— sooner than you had expected.
Tumblr media
The next morning was busier than usual. You had to receive a new consignment and the truck that came with the boxes did as little as unload them right on the street in front of the store.
The sun was already up and you were sweating through your shirt by the time you had dragged the third carton inside amidst the sea of cursing passersby tripping over them.
Jaehyun found you sitting on the pavement, exhausted and on the verge of tears again. You had your head between your palms and was about to keel over from your own weight when he tapped you on your shoulder.
You looked up at him, squinting at his silhouette against the sun.
‘Didn’t I tell you not to come back here?’ you said, unable to keep the sharpness out of your tone.
He nodded, his expression unchanged. His eyes raked over the mess you had made on the street behind you.
‘What?’ This time you actually felt the tears fall out of your eyes but he didn’t startle. Instead, he sat down beside you.
‘What are you doing—’
He reached into his bag and produced a sandwich from it. It was homemade, you could tell. He peeled the wrapper back and offered it to you.
‘You haven’t eaten, have you?’ he said.
It was your turn to stare at him, wide-eyed. ‘I— don’t understand…’
‘I made you a sandwich.’
He had it so simply as if that was the most natural thing in the world. He had that air about him. You had mistaken it for confidence but Jaehyun was never too proud. He was just… him. You were dumbstruck and humbled at the same time. There were tears in your eyes again but you weren’t crying anymore.
You scoffed instead, amused. There were people still around you, cussing while stumbling through the maze of boxes; the sun was still shining— brighter and hotter; the drains smelled foul from last night’s rain and here was this boy, sitting on a hot pavement beside you with a godforsaken sandwich in his hand because you had told him last night that you hadn’t eaten anything all day. But the most absurd thing of all was when you actually took it from his hand and ate it, right there on the street.
He waited patiently beside you, not saying a word. He only had one sandwich too— you realized it after finishing it. He asked for the wrapper and shoved it in his bag, then got up and offered you his hand.
‘Let me help you,’ he said.
‘With the boxes?’ you asked.
‘In the shop,’ he replied.
His unwavering gaze was steady on you and he inhaled before speaking. ‘I can be your shop assistant. You do not have to pay me,’ he added before you could protest.
‘You want to work here?’
He nodded his head, his eager eyes searching your face for an answer you weren’t quite sure of yourself yet. For a moment, you saw it— behind the façade of his coolness— his guilt. You did not want to be pitied but he seemed more earnest than arrogant.
‘Do you not have a job?’ you asked.
‘I am in college.’
‘No summer internship?’ You could not help the derision that seeped into your words. And he picked up on it too but he did not budge.
‘It’s only my second year.’
‘I can’t pay you,’ you said in a final attempt to dissuade him.
‘I didn’t ask for money,’ he replied in the same breath.
‘Right… the shop opens at 10 and closes at 9 but you have to report an hour early to help me clean it. Will that be alright?’
‘Yes,’ he replied.
You could not tell your father about him. Jaehyun was a stranger and the shop never had any assistants before. But you needed the help, and he was willing even if it was for his own atonement.
‘So, am I hired?’ he asked.
Sighing, you took his hand and he pulled you up to your feet.
‘Get those cartons inside,’ you ordered your new assistant walking inside the store.
His reply came after a pause. ‘Yes, ma’am.’
That is how Jaehyun came to work at your store.
Every morning, he was there waiting in front of the shop before you arrived. His satchel over his shoulder and a homemade sandwich in his hand that he gave to you. He listened to what you said without question. When you told him to vacuum the floor, he did. On the mornings you told him to wipe the windows clean, he did. He steered clear of the records. Perhaps he was afraid he would break them. But he did not help you with dusting nor with arranging the shelves.
He was rich, you had realized that much but, in the shop, he acted no more than an errand boy. From carrying the boxes to special deliveries— he did them all.
During lunchtime, you took turns to eat in the backroom while the other manned the counter. In the evenings, he got you coffee from across the street and offered to tally the register while you rested.
You did not speak much, nor did you learn anything about each other that was not necessary, not until that night—
It was past 9 pm. You had closed the shop. Jaehyun was folding the cartons in the backroom and you were shelving the scattered records back in their places. You were almost done too, save for one record that was supposed to go on the top shelf of the closet in the back. You jumped up from your toes to fling it into the thin gap but not even its edge made it on to the shelf.
It's useless, you sighed to yourself after another failed attempt But just as you turned around to reach for the ladder, you bumped into his chest.
‘I’m sorry,’ he quickly straightened but did not move away. His eyes landed on the record in your hand then up at the open shelf.
‘Let me,’ he said and waited.
When you nodded, his fingers closed over the edge. He pulled it from your grip but kept standing in place. You stood there with him, confused.
‘Uh…’ The tip of his nose turned red. Perhaps the A/C was too cold, you thought at first but it was when he leaned forward that you realized why he was waiting.
Stupid, stupid, stupid, you cursed inward, holding your breath as you shrunk under him against the shelves. The blush on his face creeped up your cheeks, your breath drained out of you as he pressed further.
But Jaehyun braced himself against the edge and swiftly placed the record back onto the shelf, not even letting the hem of his shirt touch you. You had never realized how much taller he was than you, but then again, you had never bothered to look before.
You were looking then, up at him and back at his face when he found his footing again. He had an earphone in his right ear. You could hear the faint music leaking out of it in the sudden silence that had enveloped you both.
‘What are you listening to?’ you asked, surprised at the strangeness of your own voice.
He took the earphone out and held it out in front of you. ‘Want to listen?’
You nodded but he walked down the aisle and out of sight. Several seconds later, you heard the soft crinkling of a plastic film and the distinct sound of a record being pulled out of its case. You waited as he dropped the pin over it and the song reached you.
The Night We Met by Lord Huron.
Unexpectedly, he found you on the floor again as the notes of the first chorus filled the empty shop. He sat beside you, just as naturally as he had done the first time.
When the record player cracked to a halt, he turned to you. He did not speak, not out loud at least, but you could make out his words. So, when the next night came, you put on a new record in the player— With You by Harrison Storm.
The night after that, he replied and the one after that, you replied to his reply. Every night, after you flipped the sign in the window to closed, you both found a song for each other. To his Dandelion you replied with Sofia. For his Laufey, you had Lana Del Rey. For your Hozier, he had Artic Monkeys.
You sat beside each other on the same spot tucked between the shelves, listening to your conversation echo against the walls. It was easy to slip through that crack in time that you had opened and enter that small pocket of dimensionless space, save for the music.
He tapped his foot against the floor when you replied to his Home with Nancy Mulligan and danced on the night you had played Something Just Like This to his question, Mystery of Love.
It was strange how you knew nothing about Jaehyun yet you had never known anybody that intimately before.
But the summer was ending. In a blink of an eye, three months had passed. You had started receiving emails and thick letters from your college about orientation, dorm rooms, classes and credits. And two days ago, you had taken your father to the hospital to get his cast removed. He was going to come back to the store; you were going to leave for college and Jaehyun… you didn’t even know where he was going to go or whether you would see him again.
You fell asleep on the counter that night after closing the shop. It was humid outside and the A/C was on full blast. It was a restless sleep and you must have been shivering because you felt him drape his outer shirt over you. It smelled of him— warm and sweet, and you groaned, suddenly wanting more. You opened your eyes slowly. He was right there, his face in front of you but your gaze did not surprise him.
He reached out and brushed a strand of your hair away from your face. His touch was so light that you thought you were still dreaming, but his warm breath over your lips was evidence enough. His dazed eyes pulled you in and for a brief moment you thought he was going to lean in but when you blinked up from his lips again, he gulped and shook his head.
‘Uh…’ You straightened up too, his shirt falling to the floor behind you. You were sweating beneath your collar, a familiar flush on your face.
‘It’s your turn to pick a song,’ he mumbled. Perhaps he did not know what to say either.
‘R-Right…’
You leafed through the records to find your words. A conversation had ended last night so it was your turn to begin anew. But all you could really think of was Jaehyun… and you, and what if you hadn’t met him like you had. What if you had met him in college. He would have been a senior and you, like every other girl in his class, would have had a crush on him. Then, one day, after gathering all your courage, you would have asked him out. Perhaps he would have said yes, and instead of helping you around the shop, he would have done all those small things for you as your boyfriend.
You found him at your spot on the floor after putting the song on the record player— Those Eyes by New West.
Three minutes and forty seconds. It’s not long, not by any measure, but it was enough for you to tell him what you could not speak that night. You couldn’t recall how long you sat beside him, silently, after the song was over. You didn’t want to leave, not yet.
Then it struck you.
‘Do you want to go on a trip with me?’ you asked, keeping your eagerness at bay.
‘A trip?’
‘It’s just to get a record from the next town. Don’t say it,’ you warned, expecting a taunt about it but it never came. Instead, he smiled his dimpled smile and nodded his head.
‘We’ll have to take the bus,’ you told him, testing his resolve.
‘Alright.’ He nodded his head.
‘We will have to leave at 5 am.’
‘Okay.’
‘You might get bored,’ you told him.
He paused— the dimples on his cheeks deepened. ‘Then let’s get bored together.’
Tumblr media
The morning was silent and still blue. You reached the bus stop before Jaehyun, who came a minute after. There was no sleep in his eyes, nor any hint of exhaustion. If anything, he looked as lively as the birds singing in the trees behind you.
‘Did you walk here?’ you asked.
‘It wasn’t that far,’ he replied and you realised you didn’t even know where he lived.
‘What’s that for?’ You pointed at the film camera that was hung around his neck.
‘Oh, this is…’ He looked down at the camera, running a hand through his hair. ‘In case I find something beautiful today.’
You and Jaehyun sat near the end of the bus— him by the aisle and you at the window seat. The ride was short, or so it felt (you fell asleep quickly into it and woke up when the sun was up and your destination was two stops away). If he was bored, he didn’t complain, nor did you feel him stir beside you.
‘Here,’ he said, taking out a wrapped sandwich and a small box of chocolate milk from his bag. ‘Why are you smiling?’
You took the sandwich from his hand and unwrapped it. ‘Why do you bring me a sandwich every day?’ You knew the answer already but you wanted him to say it.
There was a shy smile on his face and he fumbled before speaking. ‘That night…’ he started, ‘you said you hadn’t eaten all day.’
You were grateful that he turned his pointed gaze away from you because you could feel your face heating up. Pressing his lips together, he offered you the carton of milk with both hands.
‘I don’t like chocolate milk,’ you lied and pushed the box towards him. ‘Why don’t you finish this?’
He sighed, looking disappointed but took the box nonetheless.
Tumblr media
In the soft light of the morning sun, even the town’s chaos seemed peaceful. Amidst the sudden swarm of running children, Jaehyun pulled you close by the elbow— you were about to bump into a child, who was scampering to find his way around your legs.
‘Do you know where to go?’ he asked.
‘Hm?’ It was hard to focus when he was that close to you.
‘The way to the shop…’ he repeated.
‘Right,’ you said, pulling away to conceal the beat of your thumping heart. ‘Straight down this road and right at the intersection.’
‘Alright then,’ he said, cheerily, ‘lead the way.’
The shops were only just waking up, delivery trucks lining the streets. In the distance, you could hear the ocean, calm that morning except for the occasional thrash of the waves which marked its presence.
‘Where do you live?’ you blurted out without thinking. The question must have caught him off-guard too. He jerked his head in your direction, pausing for a bit before answering.
‘My parents’ home is in our town,’ he said. ‘But I go to college in Seoul.’
‘Oh, which one?’ you asked. ‘My university is also in Seoul.’
‘I know,’ he replied but did not answer your question.
You could see the ocean in the distance now, merging into the sky beyond the intersection. The cars looked as if floating on water as they sped off in either direction.
‘I am sorry,’ you said.
He raised an eyebrow. ‘What for?’
‘For shouting at you that night.’
‘It’s alright.’ He shrugged. ‘If someone was making my father work that much, I would have been angry too.’
That was Jaehyun— easy and uncomplicated. He had managed to put your mind at ease so simply that he made you question your own apology. You nodded, not sure whether grateful or humbled but whatever it was, you knew it was real, the feeling anchoring itself inside your heart.
When you reached the store, he stayed outside. The store owner had already laid the record out for you. It was a rare 12-inch record wrapped in a gatefold sleeve. You replayed your father’s instructions in your head as you picked it up for inspection. You held it up to the sun for signs of scratches or scruffs along the fine grooves. There were none. The label was authentic and so were the markings at the back.
You lowered the record and your gaze fell on Jaehyun, standing outside the store window. He had his hand on his camera and his eyes on you. The sun must have been burning his back— he was standing so still but he did not move.
You jerked your chin up in question but he shook his head and turned away. You had seen that look before on him before, several times in the last three months. It was either in those early hours of morning when he would report to work or later during the slow evenings just before closing time. You had never questioned it. It wasn’t your place. But you had realized as much that it was always when he was staring at you.
‘Did you get it?’ Jaehyun asked once you were outside.
‘Hm,’ you replied, tapping your bag and sighed, ‘We still have the afternoon to kill before the evening bus.’
‘What do you want to do?’
‘There is a lighthouse here,’ you said. ‘Do you want to go see it?’
‘Yes,’ he exclaimed, his eyes lighting up.
You retraced your steps back to the intersection and turned left this time, towards the sea and to the lighthouse that stood down the stony promenade. It was painted in striking red with a set of staircases leading up to the cabin at the top. The sea behind it was a stark blue in contrast, endlessly spilling over the horizon.
You sat on the edge of the walkway, your feet dangling over the breakwater rocks below you. You leaned back on your palms and breathed a sigh. The clouds overhead had overshadowed the sun and the salty wind had turned cold.
‘What are you doing?’ you asked.
Jaehyun had torn a page from a notebook in his backpack and was folding it up into a shape.
‘Making a boat,’ he replied with a child-like giggle.
‘A boat?’ You laughed. ‘For the ocean?’
‘Mhm.’ He had his eyes set on the paper he had laid out beside him. ‘See?’ he chimed up, holding the paper boat up to your face. ‘But the question is whether it will reach the ocean or not.’
The rocks were blocking the water and the aim had to be perfect. You got up with him, taking a step back to witness what you could already tell would be a failed venture. He angled the front of the boat towards the water like a plane and shot it like a dart towards it only for it to land right in front of your feet.
‘Here, let me try,’ you said and picked it up. You held it from the bottom and aimed it further away. It flew a few inches but landed in a small crevice between the boulders below.
‘Jaehyun!’ You shrieked.
Jaehyun had practically flung himself down the pavement to the slippery rocks, his hands still holding onto the edge.
‘Careful…’
‘I am fine,’ he shouted back above the sound of the waves just a few metres away from him.
‘Just throw the boat from there,’ you shouted back as you saw him scrambling back up to you with the boat still in his hand.
‘What’s the fun in that?’
‘You are insane, you know that?’
He smiled and shrugged.
The boat was crumpled beyond hope. With a quiet sigh, Jaehyun tore another page and made a longer, sleeker shape this time only to fail again. You tried different angles, shapes, even places. At one point, Jaehyun even took a running start and hurled the boat forward, but it always fell short of the shoreline, sometimes by mere inches.
By afternoon, a few children returning from school had joined your futile pursuit. While you kept folding new boats, you could hear Jaehyun behind you— scolding them in an attempt to keep them away from the edge.
At last, exhausted, you both plopped down.
‘Should we just give up?’ you asked. The wind wasn’t in your favour and the clouds were shifting again. You saw his shoulders slump further with a sigh as his gaze fell over the pile of the failed paper boats.
‘You look disappointed,’ you remarked.
You wanted to laugh and perhaps you did too because his dejected frown quickly twisted into an offended scowl. Why was he so disappointed over a silly boat. That boy really was mad. And, maybe you were too, because before you even realized it, you were grabbing his hand and pulling him along.
‘Come on, get up,’ you said, picking out the very first boat he had made from the pile. ‘We are going to get your damn boat into the water.’
The paper had dried hard but it was not torn. If it landed correctly, it could still float. You straightened out its crumpled edges, making the perfect cone at the top to balance its weight and took the position at the edge.
‘Careful.’ He tightened his grip on your hand.
‘I’m fine,’ you told him. ‘Just hold on tightly me.’
He braced his foot against yours as you leaned forward with his support. His fingers stiffened and his other hand grasped your elbow tightly but he gave you enough room to safely incline yourself over the rocks.
‘A little more.’
It took him a second to loosen his hold to let you lean further over the edge. You were focused on the angle, your eyes fixed on the pattern of the crashing waves. You counted the seconds in between. One more. You had to wait for just one more.
‘Now,’ you said. Jaehyun let go of your hand. You shot the boat towards the receding tide in the fraction of a second before he yanked you back into his arms.
This time the ocean accepted it, pulling the little devil inwards with its current.
‘It’s in the water,’ he said.
You had expected more of a celebration after the hours you both had spent on it. But perhaps the feel of his pounding heart beneath your palm was evidence enough of his triumph and the smile on his face was your reward.
‘It’s in the water,’ you echoed, amused at your own joy.
Tumblr media
The evening bus was right on schedule and you barely made it back to the stop in time. The sun was setting in the distance. It was time to go back. You glanced back, as if hoping you could catch a final glimpse of the boat that you’d set afloat in the ocean together but it was gone.
The bus was packed yet quieter somehow. Jaehyun pulled a juice box from his bag for you and as you sipped on the bitter taste of farewell, your eyes swelled with tears. This really was the end— the last night of the dream that the summer had pulled you into.
Tomorrow, Jaehyun would be gone.
And so, you held on, as tightly as you could. You closed your eyes and let the setting sun lull you into one final sleep. He was still there, and you weren’t going to let tomorrow ruin that.
‘It is your turn to pick the song tonight,’ you turned to him.
His dazed eyes focused on yours then took out the earphones from his bag and gave one of them to you. It took him a while to find the song on his phone.
The Night We Met by Lord Huron.
Why did he choose that song? It was the very first you had both listened to together. Perhaps that was his closure.
It was still early when you reached your town but the bus stop was empty save for the passengers who got down with you. Jaehyun had offered to walk you back to your house but you had refused.
You pointed to the camera around his neck. ‘You didn’t take any pictures today.’
He remained silent, but you could see his mind working behind his eyes. He was perfectly still but he seemed restless somehow and you couldn’t tell why the same impatience was seeping into you as well.
‘Didn’t find anything beautiful to click?’ You tried to break the tension his silence had caused. The street lamp above you flickered for a brief moment before settling down.
‘I did,’ he said at last, his voice not above a whisper but his smile had returned— the shy one. In the same breath, he raised the camera to his eyes and snapped a picture of you.
You are not sure how long you stood there, arrested in place by the flash but you were sure of one thing then— you had to ask him the question that had been poking at you since last night.
‘Will I see you again?’
His relaxed smile irked you. Why was he so calm?
Silently, he unhooked the chain that he wore around his neck. You had seen it before but as he pulled it away, you saw a pendant hanging at the end. It was a small silver record complete with its grooves.
He took your hand and placed it in your palm, closing your fingers over it. He leaned in close, as if whispering a secret to you.
‘On the day you climb a hundred steps, close your eyes, hold out this pendant in front of you and say my name. That’s when you’ll see me again.’
You looked up at him, confused, but he had already let go of your hand.
‘Promise me, you will remember this,’ he said. He was pulling away but his eager eyes were waiting for your answer. ‘Promise me.’
‘I will,’ you managed before he left.
Tumblr media
That was two weeks ago and the last time you saw Jaehyun.
Nothing had moved around you— the wrought iron gates still stood; the people still walked by. The air was still warm and the college was still waiting.
Pulling the strap of your bag up your shoulder, you dragged your gaze back to your new life. One step after the other, you walked till you reached the base of a steep climb.
This entrance was reserved for freshmen. For a moment you wondered whether it was some sort of a prank set up by the seniors because in front of you was a seemingly endless set of steps stretching to a top you couldn’t even see from where you stood.
Just then, a boy next to you groaned. ‘Why are there a hundred steps here?’
You heard a breathy laugh next. ‘Funny you say this. It’s exactly a hundred steps here.’
A hundred steps…
You had started climbing the steps alongside them, your ears perked up at their conversation.
‘What do you mean?’ the first one asked.
‘It’s tradition,’ the other one replied, catching up to him. ‘Freshmen are supposed to climb a hundred steps on their first day of college for good luck.’
‘What did you just say?’ You suddenly turned to them, making them jump up.
The two boys exchanged a confused glance before looking back at you.
‘I am sorry,’ you quickly added, seeing their startled expression. ‘The steps…’
The shorter one nodded his head. ‘Yes, it’s a freshmen tradition—’
‘No,’ you cut him off. ‘Are there exactly hundred steps on this staircase?’
‘Y-Yes,’ he stammered.
Jaehyun’s words rushed to the front of your mind— on the day you climb a hundred steps…
It was the strangest thing that he had said that night. You had turned his words over in your head a thousand times, wondering if you had misheard him or missed something between the lines.
But here they were, quite literally, a hundred steps in front of you.
Heart hammering inside your chest, you quickly counted the steps you had already climbed— 24— before turning around and breaking into a run. You could feel the pendant burn inside your pocket as you rushed up the stairs, two at a time.
Your legs burned with the strain it took to push yourself up the incline, each step more demanding than the last.
This is ridiculous, you thought. This isn’t a fairytale. How would he even know about this.
But the rising questions melted away in the face of what was pulling you up.
Your breaths turned into short gasps, making your pounding heart thud against your ears, drowning out everything else. Your lungs ached for air, but you did not stop. If he was really waiting at the top, you didn’t want him to wait for too long.
One after the other, you kept going, slower when you couldn’t anymore, but not stopping until the top finally came into view.
Still panting, you reached for the pendant in your pocket, your other hand pressing against the stitch in your stomach. The silver record dangled from the chain as you held it out in front of you, the tiny grooves reflecting the sunlight.
You closed your eyes, and whispered his name like a prayer— it felt like magic anyway.
‘Jaehyun.’
The leaves above you rustled in the soft wind that had caught you. The birds were chirping too. There was a dull chatter somewhere in the distance and the soft curses of the students asking you to move. But you could not bring yourself to open your eyes yet.
God, this is so stupid. You were sure you looked deranged to others. The possibility crossed your mind too. What if he had meant his words to be something else. What if you had not paid close attention to what he had said. Ugh. Why couldn’t he have just said what he wanted to?!
But then you heard it— him.
‘What took you so long?’
You smiled first, then opened your eyes. He was standing right before you, his dimples etched on his cheeks. His hand closed over yours, pulling the pendant to himself, and you with it.
‘I am sorry, I am late,’ you said.
There he was, your senior in college, the dream within your grasp. Just like every other girl in his class must have, you had a crush on him too.
‘Do you…’ The words caught in your throat. The fantasy was easier than reality. But you had not just climbed a hundred steps to shy away.
‘What is it?’
Gathering all the courage in your heart, you asked, ‘Do you want to get a cup of coffee?’
He chuckled, his eyes twinkling like they did the first time you had seen him. His smile grew wider barely leaving space for the dimples on his cheeks. He wrapped his arm around your waist, hesitantly at first then bolder when you followed his lead. The tip of his nose had turned red but his bashful gaze remained fixed on you. He held your face in his hands and pressed his lips over yours ever so sweetly like he had been waiting to do so for an eternity.
‘I would love to,’ he whispered and kissed you again.
The End.

what if jaehyun comes home from the military and the filthiest smutty smut smut happens….
Tumblr media
Pairing: Jaehyun x You
Genre: romance, smut
Warnings: smut, swearing
Word Count: 1.8k
Summary: During his military vacation, Jaehyun comes home after months of being apart from you - all buff and with a lot of pent-up desire.
A/N: So, we are all simping over military Jaehyun over here, huh?
Tumblr media
Cook together
Go for a walk in the park
Play video games
Visit a café
Watch our favorite TV shows
Go sledding
Meet with Jaehyun’s friends and family
You had prepared a long bucket list of things you wanted to do with Jaehyun on his first vacation from the military. He only had two weeks, and though it might sound long, in comparison to one and a half years away from you, it was nothing. So you wanted to make the most of it and give him a great time with all his favorite things to do.
“In the taxi now. Home in 10 minutes!”
Jaehyun’s text was followed by a selfie of him in the car.
You excitedly clapped your hands together. The meat was already sizzling in the pan, the rice steaming in the cooker and the desert cooling in the refrigerator. You wanted to welcome your boyfriend back with a freshly home cooked meal. 
After that, you would suggest going for a walk, visit a café and then have dinner at his favorite restaurant. His first day home, or better say the whole two weeks, were already perfectly mapped out in your head - and in your planner. 
But little did you know that this day would not go as planned. At all.
“I’m back!”
Because when your boyfriend was standing at the opened entrance door ten minutes later, a wide grin on his face and wearing his full standard military uniform, you forgot every single thing on your list. Seeing Jaehyun in his uniform made you forget not only your plans, but your entire sanity. 
He had gotten a bit buffer, a bit healthier, and his hair only a bit longer as you caught from them peeking out of his beret. He looked handsome as hell, and there was this thing about his standard uniform that only enhanced all of this.
“Oh, what smells so good in here?” Jaehyun asked after having given you a long hug. “I’m actually so hungry!”
There was one thing on your list that you now remembered you had totally forgotten to put on.
“Yes, me too,” you agreed, grabbed him by his collar and pulled him down to you while his beret went flying all the way to the floor.
____
“Show me what you’ve worked so hard on in the military, Jaehyun,” you purred and let yourself fall back onto the bed. “Show me what I’ve been missing out on for so many months.”
Jaehyun pushed your legs together with his thighs when he gently settled on top of you. His jacket and shirt had long been taken off by your hasty fingers that had struggled with opening the buttons in excitement of what was underneath all that fabric. 
Now, his prominent chest muscles were flexing on top of you, and you stretched out your hands to touch them, but Jaehyun was quick in grabbing your wrist and pinning your arm above your head. He did the same to your other arm and locked them in place against the pillow with only one of his hands.
He then grinned at you. “Very well. I’ll show you.”
You didn’t even try to pry yourself from his grip, but anticipated the joy when he bent down. The expected kisses on your lips or neck never happened though. Instead, you felt his hot lips on your chest, soon followed by a warm wetness on the tip of your mound when he let his tongue drape over your nipple. Taking it between his teeth, Jaehyun tugged slightly on the skin, and you yelped in surprise, wriggling in his grip.
“You cannot imagine how much I had to restrict myself during all this time,” he said when he came up again, facing your flushed and hot face.
“Don’t worry,” you snickered. “We have two weeks to make up for all of it.”
“But I fear, even if we do it during all hours of the day, it might not be enough for all the pent up desire I have built.”
Jaehyun let go of you and got up on both of his knees. With his hands on his belt, he freed his pants from the tightness with a clattering sound. His cock sprang free and had long reached its peak height. You licked over your licks, wanting to taste him and take all of him into your mouth. 
So you arose and slowly placed your fingers around his girth. He was thick and so hard, already pulsing regularly in your palms, and it only took you a few strokes until Jaehyun begged you to stop,
“Please... Otherwise it will end right here.”
You were also aware that months of yearning didn’t leave much room for long and extensive foreplay. Perhaps, you could wake him in the morning with a little treat, but until then, you were more than willing to finally have him inside you again. 
You helped Jaehyun out of his pants before you took off your underwear as well. He placed his naked body on top of yours, pushing you as far up to the bedhead as possible. 
“You wanna know what I’ve trained so hard for in the military? What these muscles are for?”
“Mmhmm.”
A corner of your lip tilted up when you felt him nudging in your already wet entrance, and you slowly exhaled when he slipped into you as if it were the easiest thing in the world after having made you so hot already flexing his newly gained muscles. You opened your mouth to say this to him, but out came only a sound you hadn’t heard yourself made in so long when Jaehyun suddenly pushed into you with a long stroke.
You were holding onto his shoulders when he first started out slowly and deliberately, his thrusts thoughtful and just according to your liking, which you let him know by moaning slightly into his ear and digging your nails just a little deeper into his muscles. This was what Jaehyun always did though, paying attention to your needs and preferences first, there was no way this man would let go of you unsatisfied. 
“Yes, Jaehyun! Exactly there!”
During the months apart, he hadn’t forgotten what he needed to do, what you liked, and you vocally let him know that.
But when you looked up to Jaehyun, you saw his closed eyes, his gritted teeth and the restraint written all over his sweaty face while he was moving on top of you. This man, who was trying to please you so much, was fighting his own urge to release his pent up desire all at once.
“Jaehyun.” You stretched out your hands and lifted yourself up to kiss him when he halted his movements. “It’s okay.”
“I’m sorry-”
His lips parted again as he was preparing himself to say something more, but you only giggled and kissed him again. “You don’t have to hold yourself back for me.”
“Shit,” he cursed under his breath while having his gaze locked with you. “Do you even know what you’re saying?”
“Will it be like the time you went on vacation for two weeks?”
His expression suddenly turned a bit sinister. “I believe much worse.”
What to make of his words, you got to know bare moments later after Jaehyun had lifted his upper body up and grabbed onto the headboard, his biceps straining in your sight. 
You whimpered slightly when his thrust rhythm suddenly changed. They were not longing and deep anymore, but hasty and hard, barely giving you a second to breathe whenever he pulled away before pushing back into you with full force. Again, and again, and again.
 “Ah, Jaeh-” Pause to breathe. “-hyun!”
The headboard was constantly banging against the thin wall, and the noise of Jaehyun’s heavy panting mixed with your own begs as you pleaded to him, “Please… more!”
It was usually not your preferred style, but who said you couldn’t try something else every now and then? You lifted up your legs and trapped Jaehyun’s waist between your thighs. He was happy to comply as he kissed your forehead and instead of slowing down, only went faster with his pace, despite your initial doubts whether this was even possible.
But it was, indeed. 
You were holding onto Jaehyun like a lifeline, and while you had to admit that you usually liked it slow and sensual, there was something about him taking you apart in such a wild style that nearly made you lose all your sanity again. At one point, when he was penetrating just the right spot with just the right speed, you even found yourself screaming, muffling the sound while biting into his shoulder.
“A sh-” Jaehyun started, but barely finished with, “I’m so-” Before he groaned and then froze on top of you. 
It was a majestic sight for you, watching your boyfriend cum. The fine line between holding back and the final release, the battle on his face slowly giving in to the long awaited release. He looked so beautiful and hot at the same time.
You felt Jaehyun emptying himself all inside of you, pumping and pumping for much longer than usual while you were just holding him through it, until he needed to let himself slowly back down on you. 
You laid your head on his chest that was still sweaty and irregularly heaving up and down. You let your fingertips trail along his muscles while closing your eyes, and suddenly felt Jaehyun’s arm embracing you from the side.
“I’m sorry I was neglecting you,” he suddenly apologized. 
“What do you mean? I was having so much fun!”
“So… it was good?”
“I don’t mind going rougher every now and then.”
“Hmm. But I was too fast and you didn-”
“It didn’t matter at that moment. It was still enjoyable. Besides…” You moved up and turned on your stomach, bracing yourself on your arms against Jaehyun’s chest and placing your head on them so that you could watch him. “We still have two full weeks for you to do the job more than once. I maybe just need to adjust the initial plans a little… Let me just-” 
You shifted to arise from your position, but Jaehyun reached out his arm and hindered you from doing so by holding onto the back of your head. Gently, he pulled you to him so that you were facing each other closely.
“You don’t want me to show you another thing I’ve practiced so hard for in the army?” he smirked. 
You raised your brows. “Aside from your new strength, what could it be?”
Jaehyun’s smile grew wicked. “Stamina,” he answered before he turned you on your back with one swift motion and pulled the blanket over the two of you.

Tumblr media
𝟏𝟗𝟔𝟎년 서울
𝐒𝐞𝐨𝐮𝐥, 𝟏𝟗𝟔𝟎
THE EARLY SUMMER HEAT simmered under the warm lights that lit the narrow hallway of the Hong and the Lee’s apartment building, clinging to your already dewy skin as you politely directed the movers this way and that, instructing them where to put your or your husband’s things. After he’d gotten his promotion, your husband had decided that it would be a good idea for you to move deeper into Seoul as the season changed. You’d agreed, of course, having nothing more to do in Seoul than you had in Gyeonggi.
Flashes of red and gold and green flitted through your vision as Mrs Lee’s paper lamps swung overhead, above one of the particularly tall movers’ heads as he lumbered past, your precious tableware in hand. It had been a wedding gift, passed down through your husband’s family; from his great grandmother, his grandmother, his mother, and finally to you.
Frowning at a stack of comic books placed carefully onto your dark, maple coffee table, you picked them up with caution. “This isn’t ours,” you told one of the movers as he passed by, placing them from your delicate hold into his strong one. “It must’ve gotten mixed up from next door.”
The mover—a man with a nametag that read Duri—nodded dutifully, striding out of the room to surely return it to the neighbours, who were moving in today as well.
Tumblr media
A few doors down, an empty flat lay silent and barren, save for the thump of the ceiling fan and the few boxes laying around on the sitting room floor and in the master bedroom. A man walked through each and every one of these rooms, his curious, bespectacled gaze flitting across every corner before strolling into the kitchen, the most busy room in the flat at present. He wiped a stripe of sweat from his brow, frowning in irritation at the heat. The Jeongs were supposed to have moved at the beginning of winter, but his promotion had been postponed, and they were only permitted to move houses when the season turned.
Jaehyun stared, perplexed, at the collection of romance books that had been ceremoniously placed upon his kitchen counter, wrestling with the uncertainty of whether or not they were his wife’s. “These books aren’t ours,” he told one of the movers as he passed by, carrying a collection of his comic books. “They must be from next door.”
“Oh.” Duri sighed, having thought he was finally free of his load, before picking up the leather bound books, nodding. “Apologies, Mr Jeong.”
Jaehyun said nothing, turning back to the bland beige walls that surrounded him. He’d have to paint these, soon; the monotony of the entire flat bothered him, made something in him itch. He remembered the house he’d lived in—a wedding gift, from his parents, painted in bright whites and browns, a spacious place with roots deep in tradition and even deeper roots in the countryside. Now, he was here, in the city. Surrounded by the same four walls as everyone else in the building, left to decorate a blank canvas all by himself again.
“Mrs Kim!” he heard someone yell happily. It was the old landlady, Hong Dahye, probably calling on his new neighbour. Jaehyun had only seen both women in passing, though the former did not seem like his kind of person. Neither did the other landlady, Mrs Lee. “Look at this place! You’ve already made it so beautiful.”
Tumblr media
You smiled timidly, waving your hand as if it was nothing. “Oh, it’s not that big of a deal, Mrs Hong. But, thank you. I appreciate the compliment.”
“Say, where’s your husband?” the old woman asked. With a kind, weathered face and a mane of curly white hair, your landlady was the picture of Korean elders round the country. “He should be helping his beautiful wife move!”
You shook your head. Mr Kim, your beloved husband, was nowhere to be seen, rather opting to move his things into his new office a few streets away. You didn’t take much offence to it—neither you nor your husband owned many things, and you’d hired a whole moving team to help you, so it was not nearly the struggle Mrs Hong was making it out to be.
You and your husband didn’t do every little thing together, but were still happily married; you did practically everything contrary to what tradition had you believe.
Both of you were in your twenties and had not yet had your own children, nor had you given up your work after you’d gotten married to him, and he was more than happy with these courses of action—he’d, in fact, insisted upon them, given the fact that he wished to climb higher up the social ladder before bringing children into this world. You understood, for the modern world was only going to get more complex and more expensive as time went by. For now, both of you stayed childfree and career-oriented.
The same could be said for the Jeongs next door. They hadn’t made the executive decision, rather it came naturally. Jaehyun and Mrs Park had simply been too busy to think of children, and the latter enjoyed her job far too much to give it up in the name of caring for her child.
You stepped out into the hallway after another moved passed through, gently removing your cardigan, letting the soft material fall limp in your arms. It was as charming as it was cramped, the building, you thought, bowing in apology as you bumped into a mover before stalking on, deeper down the hallway.
Jaehyun was leaned on the wall right next to his front door. A cigarette balanced between his thumb and forefinger, his free hand clicked a lighter on, lowering it to the little flame that had gathered before his plump lips. A plume of smoke gathered around his face as he exhaled deeply, blowing it upwards and into the hot summer air.
“Afternoon,” you greeted, smiling politely at the older man. He only seemed to notice you then, eyes widening before he bowed, cigarette in hand. “My name is Mrs Kim.”
He smiled softly. “Hi. My name’s Jeong Jaehyun; pleased to meet you, Mrs Kim.”
Jeong Jaehyun was an attractive man, you had to admit. Tall, tanned, and with a certain sly glint in his eye that you’d only be able to catch if you paid extra attention. Dark brown locks in a tousle of waves, and dusted pink lips stuck in a permanent pout, there was something about the way he looked at you that made you want to bolt in the other direction.
You returned his bow, coming to rest at the side beside his, both of you on either side of his front door. “Are you moving in today?”
“Mm. We were supposed to move in at the start of the winter, but had some complications to deal with before we could,” Jaehyun elaborated, taking another drag from his cigarette.
You frowned. “‘We’?”
“Oh, right.” The older man chuckled. “My wife and I. I’m married.”
You perked up. Another married couple, living right next door to you! How fine that would be. “That’s lovely! Where is she?”
“Work,” said Jaehyun. “She’s a receptionist for a car company, so moving’s up to me today. She enjoys her work, so you probably won’t see her around much.”
He must’ve seen you deflate with disappointment, because he laughed softly. “Don’t worry, I’m sure she’d enjoy meeting you. What about your husband? Shouldn’t he be helping you move?”
“He’s at work, as well,” you said. “He’s an employee at a very big transport company, so he’s usually very busy. But, it’s no worry,” you assured kindly. “We don’t have many belongings, so moving is no problem for me.”
Jaehyun hummed. He lifted the cigarette to his lips, glancing at you from under his black spectacles as he took a long drag. “Well, good luck with that,” he said, summer-warmed cheeks growing red under the hallway lights. “I should be getting back to my own moving, actually.”
Smiling, you took note of his way to end the conversation. A bit abrupt, not like most men you’d spoken to, though you took the hint. “So should I,” you agreed, bowing in adieu, before finally taking your leave, slipping back into the flat.
Jaehyun watched in polite curiosity as you went, paying little attention to how your steps seemed as light as your voice, how the sway of your hips contrasted the formality of your words. Then, with a final drag, a final decadent exhale, he retreated back into his flat, already thinking of the next chapter of his comic book.
Tumblr media
Your boss had let you go home early on account of the overtime you’d worked throughout the week, so you went home on Friday, an hour earlier than you usually would. With your husband away on business for the week, you didn’t have much to do around the house besides read.
You flipped boredly through a women’s magazine, before stumbling upon a foreign recipe. Rice cakes. You’d had them before at your husband’s insistence, but had never attempted to make them yourself. Struck with the inspiration that came only to a bored woman on a hot day, you cut out the section of the paper containing the recipe, tucking it into your handbag as you slipped on your outside shoes.
The market was rather busy today, with several people clamouring around farmers’ mothers selling their sons’ fresh produce and fishermens’ wives selling their husbands’ fresh fish. You’d need to walk through the bustling scene to get to the supermarket, though the prospect of it didn’t seem too daunting. You weren’t entirely accustomed to Korean markets yet, but the chaos was something one easily got used to.
Several colours entered your field of vision as you made your way past the many stalls, wonderfully mismatched smells wafted through the air as you walked through the street. The calls and hollers of vendors momentarily stole your attention, echoing in your mind like the keens and croons of an opera singer in the great ambience of a concert hall.
Jaehyun was leaned against one of the many carts lining the city streets, exchanging polite conversation with one of the younger men in the crowd who was assisting his mother with her shopping. Another man who worked at the same law firm as Jaehyun, they were dressed in nearly identical crisp black suits. Several plastic bags hung limply from Jaehyun’s arms, indicating a busy day around the town for the man. With his wife away on business for the week, all the cooking and cleaning had been left to him; a feat he’d taken up happily.
He smiled when he saw you, the corners of his mouth turning up only the slightest bit in formal greeting.
“Hello, Mr Jeong.” You bowed, though not the full ninety degrees, before walking past, jostled on by an older woman who clearly moved with more purpose than you did. “Oh—!”
Jaehyun’s coworker gave him a curious glance, subconsciously loading his mother’s groceries into a bag she held open for him. “Who’s that?”
“My neighbour,” said Jaehyun, hands itching to reach into his back pocket for a smoke. “We moved in on the same day a few weeks ago.”
This happened quite a few times—yours and Jaehyun’s paths crossing. It wasn’t uncommon of you to walk past one another on your ways to and from work, or on the morning walks you took on your days off. You’d always walk past, nodding politely, before completely forgetting of one another the moment you weren’t in each other’s sight anymore.
It happened again while you were on your way home from work one evening, walking up the stairs with your cardigan shrugged loosely over your shoulders. Your ears perked up as a second set of steps joined you, and you turned to see your neighbour just a few steps behind you. As if by natural instinct, your face split into a smile—one which was returned happily by Jaehyun.
“How was work?” he asked, only picking up his pace so that he could be level with you.
“Oh, as interesting as a receptionist’s job can be,” you chuckled. “My most important chore today was making coffee for my boss. Yours?”
“Mm. Stressful.” Jaehyun shook his head, sighing. “There’s tons of drama at the firm; someone embezzled billions of wons that were supposed to go into the workers’ bonuses at the end of the year.”
You gasped softly. “Really? That’s horrible!”
Jaehyun chuckled. “What’s worse, it was my boss.”
Rounding the corner that lead to your flats, you and Jaehyun bid one another a hushed good night, locking open your front doors in harmony.
Stepping into your flat, you frowned to see that the door had been previously unlocked. You could’ve sworn that you’d locked it before you went to work that morning, and double-checked it before finally leaving. Gaze flitting over your home, you saw that everything was untouched; the paintings that adorned the four walls of your living room were not a centimetre off centre, the carpets and candles and paper lanterns were in each and every one of their designated places. Every single bit and bob was in its place.
…Save for the throw pillows on your couch, which had previously been delicately arranged into a perfect little pyramid, that now sat in disarray, as if someone had taken a seat and left the couch in a mess.
Stalking down the hall that lead to your bedroom, you saw that the bed had been unmade, as well. Something that you, ever the stickler for a clean home, did not make a habit of.
Your husband popped his head out of the en suite bathroom, running a comb through his slicked back hair. “My lovely wife,” he greeted, and you smiled. You’d forgotten that he’d returned from his trip a few hours ago, and would of course make himself at home once he got back. Pressing a chaste kiss to your cheek, he asked, “How was your day? Did anything interesting happen?”
“No, my love. Nothing of note,” you replied. “I’m sorry that I couldn’t greet you properly. If I’d have remembered that you’d be back today, I’d have prepared a homecoming feast for you!”
Mr Kim tutted. “Hush, that’s not necessary. We can go out tonight! I hear there’s a very good restaurant just down the street.” He patted your shoulders encouragingly when he didn’t receive an immediate response. “Come on, let’s treat ourselves, no? We never do.”
You nodded, slowly coming around to the idea. It wasn’t often that you and your husband ate out, much less together. “I don’t think that’s a bad idea, actually,” you said. “I just need to get ready; I’m in no position to go out looking like this!” you said, gesturing to your perfectly adequate outfit as if you were wearing rags.
“Ah, you women and your clothes,” he sighed, but didn’t protest. “I’ll be waiting by the door; don’t take too long, now!” he added, on his way to the bright red phone that hung on your kitchen wall.
Tumblr media
You sat in the corner of the restaurant, in a booth rather secluded from the rest of the people inside. The lights were low, warm on your skin as you took your seats, evenly opening your menus as a waiter drifted by and took your orders. Lively music floated through the air, accompanying the sounds of several conversations, acting as a foreground to all the talk that threatened to take your attention off of your husband.
He wasn’t looking at you, his attention rather focused on the soju in front of him. He’d allowed for you to share a bottle, something that he did rarely. He didn’t like you drinking too much, so you never really asked, rather waited for him to offer. When he wasn’t focused on making himself seem presentable, you could see the stress flitting across his face—a frown marring his dark brows, his pink lips quirked downward in an unhappy fashion. You wondered whether you should enquire, whether you should ask your husband what bothered him so.
“My love,” you started. “What’s the matter? You’ve barely spoken a word the entire evening.” Because for Mr Kim, the entertainer, the observational comic, that was something highly out of the ordinary.
He hummed in a disintered sort of resignation, as if he couldn’t will himself to listen to you. “Mm? Oh, it’s nothing, my wife, really. Work has just been stressful these past months, and with the move…”
It’s just been even more difficult. You knew. Even for you, ever the quietly resilient soul, the change had been a force to reckon with. You didn’t even want to know how Mr Kim, who worked twice the hours you did, took it.
You reached across the table, taking his hand, turning his ring over in your hold. “Is there anything I could do to make it better, my love?”
He sighed softly, shaking his head. “No. There’s nothing you can do,” he said, and you felt the earlier hope you’d had for his mood to pick up vanish.
Before you could say more, a call of your name prompted you to pick up your head, opening your eyes to a scene outside of your booth. It was Jeong Jaehyun, with his wife hanging on his arm as if she were some prized trophy, his hand securely on her hip. If only your husband could hold you like that. For a fleeting moment you had the seething thought, before you got over your momentary ungratefulness and smiled at the sight of your neighbour.
“What a coincidence to see you here!” you said, offering him a polite smile. You could see your husband look up, though you missed the recognition flashing across his face as he glanced at the couple. “My husband and I decided we’d treat ourselves tonight, in honour of his return.”
“Funny you should say that,” Jaehyun said. “Mrs Park and I had the exact same idea. Didn’t we, dove?”
At that question, Jaehyun’s wife finally looked at you, eyes having been trained somewhere else, and nodded.
Dove. A fitting nickname for a woman so beautiful, you had to admit. With flowing black hair nearly reaching her slender hips, and a cherub-like visage, you clearly understood why Jaehyun had married her. Even looking through the eyes of a happily married woman, you could see Mrs Park’s appeal.
“Oh, certainly,” she replied, and her voice flowed like honey when she did. “I’ve just come back from a business trip to Japan, and my husband insisted that we eat out tonight to celebrate my return. A silly thing, really, but I accepted nonetheless.” At that, she bumped her hip with his, and he chuckled.
“W-well, why don’t you two come sit with us?” Scooching closer to you, your husband gestured at the booth space opposite you that he’d occupied until that moment, inviting your neighbours to join you. Your cheeks flushed at the sudden proximity, and you had to hold in a smile at how close your husband was sitting to you; closer than he’d been in a long time.
“You don’t mind, do you, dear?” he asked, turning to your for confirmation. When you shook your head, Jaehyun and his wife shared a look, before taking seats opposite you.
That’s how you ended up ordering for the table, each of you picking a dish and sharing it with one another. Yours and Jaehyun’s spouses got to talking, and that’s when you realised that they’d had more in common than you’d anticipated.
Where you thought you’d be able to bond with Mrs Park over books or films, she had long-lasting conversations with your husband about the current political state of the country, about cars, and other such things. You assumed, since both of them were working at car companies, that that’s what prompted the connection.
You had to admit, it was nice, not having to carry the conversation. And the joint orders were a change from your usual routine of separate plates, though you knew that was just because your husband didn’t like to share his food, and your taste was not his.
At some point during the night, Jaehyun’s gaze drifted to you, taking in your reserved posture. It was an almost cinematic comparison; your husband, bathed in the booth’s light as he passionately discussed complex political matters with Mrs Park, and you, half in the shadow, half in the light, smiling in a gloomy manner, offering limited additions where you could.
“I started reading Much Ado About Nothing.”
Snapping your head up to meet Jaehyun’s gaze, your mouth formed an enquisitive line in silent question.
“I saw a copy of it, that day the movers accidentally switched our books,” he elaborated. He spoke softly, in a way that made it certain only you could hear him. A shrug. “I was intrigued, and went out and bought a copy. It’s good. Funny.”
You blinked. Once. Twice. “Do you… usually read foreign books?”
He exhaled through his nose, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. Not a laugh, necessarily, but a sure show of amusement. “No, I don’t. In fact, I don’t read much at all, outside of comic books. But my curiosity got the best of me, and I bought a real book for once.”
“I’m sure comic books are real books,” you said, though you couldn’t help the warm feeling that bloomed in your chest. “Are you, er, enjoying it, so far?”
He nodded. “Very much. Romance books have never particularly interested me, but this one in particular is especially entertaining. I like the way the characters all interact; they’re all a bit ridiculous, in the best way.” He paused, then added, “I feel books should be a bit ridiculous, every now and then.”
Almost poetically, just as you were about to speak, the second orders of food came, and you were all roused from your respective conversations. The dinner continued in a amiable fashion, given the inherent common ground your age and relationships bade you. The night didn’t last long, however, for words murmured over shot glasses and through mouthfuls of each other’s food could only keep you in your seat for so long. You all had work in the morning, and couldn’t abandon routine on account of one nights’ spontaneity. Though, you had to admit that the change of scene was nice. You’d grown tired of packing away dinners and going to bed alone because your husband was away, or working late.
After a considerable amount of bickering, your husband and Jaehyun decided to split the bill between them, and you were on your way home for the second time that day. You bid each other good night, each of you retreating into your own flats as they sat next to each other, kicking off your shoes and sliding under your covers.
Unbeknownst to you as you happily retreated into your bed, dressed in the softest silk pyjama set, a gift sat on your bedside table, wrapped in expensive paper. A perfume, probably, that your husband had bought while he was in Japan. He always did that: bought you little things, souvenirs and gifts from places he’d travelled to. Handbags from Hong Kong, shoes from Singapore, and perfume from Japan.
Tumblr media
Your boss’ office was an extremely uninteresting place. He had never had quite the decorative eye you had, so his walls lay bare, and every item was just a darker or lighter shade of the same colour. It was only your desk that brought some life into the place, with your few action figures and personal books stacked up on top of one another, and the several coloured pens that lay the desk full.
The room was brought alive by the familiar clicks and clacks of your typewriter as you typed up a document your boss had requested, as well as the frequent riiip! as you removed a paper from the typewriter, adding it to the stack you’d accumulated since the beginning of your shift.
When the phone rang, you glanced up at your boss, who seemed to be preoccupied with something else. He waved you off, indicating that you should get it. Standing up, you took the green device into your hold, keeping it to your ears. “Hwang Hyunjung’s office, how may I help you?”
“My wife,” came the voice of your husband. “I’m here at a mall in Tokyo, and I’m wondering which scent I should get for you. Floral, or fruity?”
You chuckled softly. “You know me well, my love.”
“Ah. Floral.”
No. Oriental. “Correct, my love. Is that all?”
“That’s all. I wouldn’t want to interrupt your important work. Bye-bye, now!”
“Goodbye, my love.”
Click.
“Who was that?” Mr Hwang asked as you took your seat again, going right back to typing up the document. “Your husband, I hope. It would be odd for anyone else to call you while you were at work.”
You exhaled, smiling. “Of course it was, Mr Hwang. No one else is that important to me.”
In an office surprisingly close to your own, Jaehyun was finishing up the last of the day’s work, having been occupied with a particularly harrowing case for the past month. After his boss’ money laundering was brought to light, he’d had to take over half of the workload that the old man had left behind, and the rest of the office were left to pick up the pieces.
One of Jaehyun’s coworkers, Sicheng, sighed, plopping down into the seat next to his as he entered the break room, eagerly clicking on a cigarette he balanced between his lips. “I feel like dissolving into a pool of tears.”
Jaehyun chuckled, though it was not without its thinly veiled hysteria. He was on the edge of insanity, but had to hold it together for the rest of the firm’s sakes. When you were a higher up in an institution like this, your own emotions didn’t matter in the least. “You’re not the only one, Win.”
Setting down the documents he’d collected from the rest of the lawyers, Jaehyun added, “I’m thinking of calling it a day. It’s…” Sighing, he lifted up his sleeve to reveal his watch—a gift from Mrs Park. “…It’s after nine. Too late to be able to get anything else done. Go tell the rest of the office; quitting time.”
Sicheng nodded dutifully, sighing a small sigh and squaring his shoulders, taking a drag of his cigarette before walking back to the offices to alert everyone that the day was over. Jaehyun collected his own blazer and briefcase, and soon enough, he was making his way down the stairs of the firm, several of his employees following. Dongyoung, one of his senior colleagues, had invited him to after-work drinks, but Jaehyun declined on account of a made-up headache.
As he made his way through the deserted city streets, his fingers itched to reach for a cigarette. His lips longed for something to wrap around, something to breathe in.
The light tips and taps of heels clicking against the ground caught his attention as he rounded the corner to the apartment building, and he saw you start to take the stairs one and a time, a cardigan hung loosely off your shoulders. He smiled slightly at the familiar sight, having grown used to seeing you on his way back home from work.
You only noticed him when he caught up to you, smiling in greeting at your neighbour. “Mr Jeong. What a coincidence seeing you here,” you joked, and he wanted to laugh at the way your lips curled into a self-satisfied smile at your own quip.
“Truly,” he said.
Tumblr media
“For how long is your husband away this time, you said?”
Resisting a carnal urge to sigh, you placed down another card in front of you. “Two weeks, Mrs Hong, doing business in Shanghai.”
The old woman’s eyes widened, surprised both by the time you’d given her and the fact that you hadn’t celebrated your second win in a row. “Well, that’s an awfully long time to spend away from your wife, isn’t it? Doesn’t he miss you?”
You smiled. “Of course he does. But he calls me every day, before work to tell me good morning, and before bed to tell me good night. And he sends me gifts! Plenty of gifts.”
“Oh, don’t think I haven’t seen your new shoes, Mrs Kim!” your landlady jested, and you chuckled. “But that doesn’t take away from the fact that he’s away often. When will you ever get time to have children?”
You froze, caught off guard by the nature of the question. Even a month later, you hadn’t spoken to your husband of children. Of course you hadn’t—you were both too busy to even be intimate for pleasure, now you’d have to do so for purpose? The idea itself seemed foreign to you, foreign as the glyphs that stared back at you when you tried to read one of your husband’s books.
Smiling in discomfort, you shook your head. “That’s none of our concern these days, Mrs Hong. We have more important things to do than worry about babies. Times are changing, you know? Couples are waiting before they have them.”
You could tell the old woman wanted to say more, but she kept her mouth shut, simply sighing and continuing with the game as if she hadn’t already noticed you win.
Next door, Jaehyun was faced with a similar affliction; that affliction being his landlady probing about his personal life while absolutely destroying him at cards.
“So, where is your beautiful wife off to this time?” Mrs Lee asked, placing a card down. There was a vicious sort of curiosity in her eyes, and he knew she knew the effect it had on him.
“China, Mrs Lee,” Jaehyun sighed. “For two weeks.” She hadn’t said specifically where in China she’d be doing business, but Jaehyun trusted her enough to believe whatever she told him. After all, she was his dove. She never lied.
“How odd,” the old woman commented. “You know, back in my day, only the husband was allowed to work. His wife was to stay home and raise their children.” She quirked a brow. “Do you two have any children yet?”
This is not the kind of question you’d like to be asked just as you’re taking a sip of coffee. Jaehyun realised this as, when she posed her question, his brain seemed to have short-circuited, and so did his ability to swallow. Mrs Lee chuckled, thoroughly amused by the young man’s surprise.
“No,” Jaehyun said eventually, still half-choking. “Not yet.”
Children weren’t in the Jeongs five year plan, as far as the couple had discussed. Mrs Park eagerly wanted to work and make as much money as she can, while Jaehyun himself was more focused on climbing higher in the firm’s hierarchy. He’d always wanted children, and had been keen on them until he met his wife. She wanted to wait, she said, and he respected her decision. After all, who was he to demand such a thing as pregnancy of his wife when he merely had a bout of baby fever?
The man tried for a smile, setting down a card. “We’re waiting for a bit. Mrs Park wants to work for a bit longer, and I won’t deprive her of that pleasure.”
Self-consciously wiping at some of the coffee that had dribbled down his chin, Jaehyun wondered what his wife was currently doing. And, hearing the cackling laughter from next door, he was wondering if you’d been caught in the same predicament as him.
Tumblr media
The day had been positively chaotic. After running through several meetings with the Chinese businessmen, Mr Kim was left to complete all the work that his colleagues couldn’t finish. It had been a tiring week, to say the least, and now he had another wild day to put behind him.
Bright lights shone overhead as Mr Kim made his way through the hallway leading to his hotel room, sighing with great fatigue. He fumbled for his keys, before the great crimson door opened on its own. His ears perked up at the sound, and he lightly pushed the door open, having a slight suspicion as to who was already in his room.
True to her words, Mrs Park was waiting for Mr Kim in the kitchen of his hotel suite, sitting with her legs coyly crossed over one another on top of the kitchen counter. She looked the picture of beauty, with her blue-black hair neatly done into a bun, and her face made up with the prettiest colours, her lips painted a daring red. You never wore red, too afraid to stand out and be seen. Mr Kim liked red.
“Hello, handsome,” she greeted, slinging her arms over his shoulders as he neared, scooping her up into his arms.
“Evening, beautiful,” he smiled, pressing a kiss to her lips, before pulling away with a smear of red staining his face. “Where shall we go tonight, hm? I feel like going out. Maybe we can go to that new restaurant down the street, share an order.”
Mrs Park rolled her eyes. “You always want to go out and share food. It’s ridiculous. Who’s paying for all of this?”
Mr Kim smiled. “Me. Always me, gorgeous.”
It had been going on for six months, the affair. They weren’t sure precisely when or how, but it blossomed long before they moved into the same apartment building. They’d met a year ago, working at the same car company, and could only make it as colleagues for six months before that grew into something more. Aside from surface level attraction, they claimed, they were drawn to one another not only because of similar interests, but because of like boredom with their respective spouses.
It wasn’t that they were bad, or abusive, or even all that uninteresting.
There was just something that Mr Kim and Mrs Park saw in each other that they couldn’t ever think to see in you or Jaehyun.
“When do you plan on telling her?” Mrs Park asked, hours after they’d gone out and enjoyed a passionate night in each other’s arms, now lain next to her secret lover as he rested next to her. He turned to her with a quirked brow. “Your wife, I mean.”
He sighed, the deep sigh of a man who did not wish to explain himself at present. “I don’t know. When do you plan on telling him? Your husband.”
She stilled, crossing her arms over her bare chest as she thought. “I don’t know.”
Tumblr media
“Okay, okay. How about this? What was the most difficult thing to get used to when you moved to Korea?”
You frowned, brows creasing in thought. You chewed thoughtfully on your food, hands curling around your cup of tea. “Probably the people,” you decided, to which Jaehyun quirked a brow. “Koreans are very loud compared to the people in my home country.”
“I can’t relate,” he said, shaking his head. “I’ve been in America before, for work, and people are exactly the same there as they are here.” He chuckled. “I can only wonder how peaceful your country is.”
The tea house was busy, bustling with people moving in and out of the dark, comfortably decorated building. You and your neighbour sat on either side of a small table, legs crossed as you discussed a variety of things as they crossed your minds. It had been a chance encounter, with Jaehyun inviting you to sit down with him when he saw you come in to pick up an order you’d placed at home.
It had also been somewhat of an awkward encounter, considering that Jaehyun must’ve been the first man you spoke to alone since you’d gotten married. You wondered how his wife would feel if she knew of it, or how your own husband would feel if he knew of it. But they were both away, gone overseas on business, only to return in the near future.
You enjoyed his conversation, however. He was a rather engaging person to talk to, and someone who you could consider a friendly acquaintance. You didn’t have many of those, real friends even less.
You hummed, placing the rounded cup down onto the table. “Have you finished the book yet?” you asked, meekly posing the question as a nonchalant enquiry.
Jaehyun smiled easily. “I have, actually. It was one of the best books I’ve read in a while. Do you know of anything else like it?”
You shook your head. “I don’t think I’ve ever read a book quite like Much Ado. It’s one of a kind, I’m afraid.”
Your neighbour tsked, pouting in disappointment. “Cripes, I’d have loved to read another book like it. The inherent silliness of it all really is captivating. Now I suppose I’m left to entertain myself while I’m at the office.”
You raised a brow. “What, and not work?”
“Of course not,” he quipped, and he flashed a smile that would’ve made any other woman’s knees buckle. But not you. You had your own husband, whom you loved, and admired, and couldn’t wait to see again.
A beat of silence followed, with you suddenly growing conscious as to how wide your smile actually was. You tapered it, got your emotions under control. Here you were, grinning like a schoolgirl while in conversation with a man who wasn’t even a friend, much less something more.
Jaehyun himself seemed pensive, eyes glazing over under his obsidian-rimmed glasses. “Where does your husband work, again?” he asked, lifting his head to look in your eyes.
You paused, unsure of why exactly he was asking. “At a transport company that foresees cars for overseas businessmen when they travel. Why do you ask?”
He shook his head. “No reason. He… travels a lot, right?”
You nodded. “He’s in Shanghai this week.”
Jaehyun nodded slowly, seemingly taking in information that you were not privy to. “Your wife travels a lot as well, doesn’t she?” you asked, needlessly.
“Yes,” Jaehyun said softly. “She’s currently working in China.”
Tumblr media
After that interaction, your meetings with Jaehyun grew scarce. It’s never as if they hadn’t been, of course. He was only your neighbour. You passed him a few times in the marketplace, though you seemed to miss him whenever you walked to work in the morning or walked home at night. Perhaps his hours had changed, you reasoned. You heard from plenty of your husband’s colleagues that their hours could change whenever their boss decided it should.
Speaking of, your husband was back from overseas, finally staying at home for the month. You got to see him when you woke up in the morning, and you got to fall asleep next to him each night. For a moment, it felt as if he were growing close to you again, but only then did you realise how far he’d grown from you.
He’d made himself scarce since he’d come home, keeping to his work when he was at home. He took his meals in your bedroom, where his desk was, and only switched his light off when you decided to go to bed. Each morning that you went to work, when he’d be getting ready to go as well, would only be able to offer you a distracted kiss on the cheek before running off, briefcase in hand.
Over the course of the next few weeks, you wondered when this rift had started to form. You were twenty four, now, Mr Kim twenty eight. You’d been married for three years, since you were twenty one and he was twenty five, and during all that time, you’d never felt more estranged from your own husband than now. He’d always shared stories with you when he came home from work, and always talked your ear off if he was overseas for the week. He kissed you dizzy whenever he got the chance, and, as indelicate as it may have sounded coming from your mouth, intimacy was a frequent activity you delighted in. You shared food, lay down in each other’s arms anywhere possible, and spent every waking moment together.
Now, you could barely get three words from his mouth when he was at home, and he only called when he wanted to buy you the same gifts you already had six of. His kisses were rare and chaste, and that in and of itself made any further intimacy impossible. His food was his own, his space was his own, and his time was his own. It was as if you were simply flatmates who happened to share a bed and a contract legally binding you together.
Yet, you didn’t say a word to let him know you’d caught on to his distance. Mostly because you didn’t know what to do with that information further. What would you do, if you told him, made it known that you could feel him disappearing from your life like sand falling through an open, eager hand? Would you confront him? Leave him? No, you couldn’t do that. There was too much at stake if you even tried.
So, what better could you do than let your thoughts run wild, let them consume your very being as each and every notion grew darker and darker and your hope grew smaller and smaller?
You studied the typewriter in front of you, looking at how your fingers trembled as they rested on the keys. The diamond on your wedding ring glinted tauntingly in the low light of your boss’ office, and Jaehyun’s voice rang through your head.
“Where does your husband work, again? He… travels a lot, right?”
“He’s in Shanghai this week. Your wife travels a lot as well, doesn’t she?”
“Yes. She’s currently working in China.”
The phone chord curled around your finger as you picked it up, holding it to your ear as you punched in the number of Mr Kim’s office. It was picked up on the third ring, the line humming to life.
“Mr Kim’s office, how may I help you?” asked the voice of your husband’s colleague and deskmate, Youngho.
“Oh, evening, Youngho-ssi,” you smiled, hands trembling. “Is— is my husband nearby, by any chance?”
On the other end of the line, Youngho frowned. Kim had left earlier than usual, saying he was on his way home, while his wife was clearly still at work. “No. He left about an hour ago, Mrs Kim.”
You chuckled, grip around the phone tightening. “Oh, right! Silly me. I forgot he was going home earlier to rest today. Thank you, regardless, Youngho. Good night.” You slammed the phone back into place before the older man could answer, and covered your mouth in an attempt to catch the words at the tip of your tongue; Mr Hwang was still at his desk a few metres away.
“May I go home?” you requested, not looking at your boss.
He didn’t look up from his papers, brows raised. “I don’t see why not. There’s nothing more you can do for me today.” He chuckled. “You’re relieved of your duty for today, Mrs Kim.”
You nodded, smiling stiffly as you slung your handbag over your shoulder, briskly walking out of the office.

Jaehyun yawned, stretching his arms far above his head. His spine released a cathartic crack! and he sighed in relief. It was nearing sundown, and he had a particularly productive day under the belt. Sicheng was only a few desks away, floating on the same cloud as his colleague.
Standing up, Jaehyun waltzed over to the office phone, and dialled Mrs Park’s office number. She picked up on the third ring, singing, “I hope this is my love calling~”
Jaehyun chuckled. “What’s got you in such a good mood?”
Mrs Park straightened in her seat. “N-nothing, dear. I’m just… excited to hear from you. It’s been such a long day, and it’s only going to get longer for me.”
“No, have they got you working overtime again?” he gasped.
Mrs Park sighed. “Unfortunately, yes. I can’t make it to dinner tonight. We’ll have to reschedule that booking you made.”
Jaehyun pouted, frowning in disbelief. It’s almost as if ever since she came back from China, her workload had tripled. Every other night she was working late, or having drinks with colleagues after her shift. Never did she have time for him. But, he said nothing. If his wife wanted to work, he’d let her work without complaints. After all, he wasn’t a dependent toddler. He was a grown man, twenty eight and counting!
“Alright, my love,” he said. “Will I at least see you tonight?”
“Of course, my husband,” she assured warmly.
“Okay. Remember to take breaks,” Jaehyun said. “Goodbye. I love you.”
“Goodbye, Jaehyun.”

Frowning, Jaehyun’s impatience only grew with each second that passed as he waited for Mrs Park to pick up. It had been two hours since the last time they spoke, and he just wanted to let her know that he’d also be working late tonight, and that she shouldn’t lock the door when she got home.
“Where is she?” he muttered. He checked his watch. Only half past eight. Was she in the middle of a meeting, or an errand, or what?
After the tenth ring, the phone clicked, and the line hummed to life.
“Kia Motors, may I help you?” answered the voice of Mrs Park’s colleague, Park Sooyoung.
“Evening, Sooyoung-nim,” Jaehyun smiled. “Is my wife nearby? I spoke to her a few hours ago, and she said she’d be working overtime. I just have a message to relay to her.”
The woman hesitated, frowning at his sentiment. “Apologies, Jaehyun-ssi, but Mrs Park left two and a half hours ago. She asked to go home earlier today; I thought she’d tell you that.”
Silence.
Jaehyun’s eyes widened beneath his glasses, his breath growing shallow. His fingers, which had been drumming absently on his desk, were now balled into a fist that waited to meet the hard surface of a desk. “Oh.” He exhaled, inhaled, working on his jaw all the while. “Right. Sorry. I must’ve forgot. Thank you, anyway, Sooyoung-nim. Have a nice night.”
The line died abruptly before the younger woman could return his farewell.
Tumblr media
You could hear voices next door.
After rushing home, you returned to find your flat empty. Bed made perfectly, couch untouched, and the food you’d prepared that morning gathering flies. Food you’d prepared for Mr Kim—your husband.
You wrung your hands, trying to figure out where he could be. Maybe he was just out with friends, colleagues, and didn’t feel it was important enough to mention to you. But Youngho had still been at the office, and as far as you knew, the two were thick as thieves. They always went out together. While you thought, and paced, you could faintly hear voices from the conjoined wall behind you. You hadn’t seen Jaehyun on your way home, so perhaps he’d returned home earlier. You couldn’t make out exactly who the voices were, but you could discern one female voice and another male voice. It had to be Jaehyun, or a brother, or a father, or…
…Maybe you were just imagining it. You’d been working longer hours these days, getting less sleep. And you were getting close to your monthlies. Perhaps you were just overworked and exhausted and hormonal and were imagining there being more than one voice. Maybe Mrs Park enjoyed having conversations with herself—a pastime you’d adopted as well.
Sighing, you steeled your nerves and marched to the front door of the Jeongs flat. Someone laughed, a woman, and you raised your hand to knock. When you did, the voices died out, and you could hear hurried footsteps to the door. The moment you saw Mrs Park, your heart fell to your stomach.
Messy hair, her lipstick smeared as if someone had tried to kiss it off of her. There was a glow about her, one that you hadn’t seen in yourself for almost a year.
“Sorry to bother you, Mrs Park.” Your voice came out weak, and you sounded far away in your own ears. “I just heard a commotion, and I wanted to know if you were alright.”
The older woman chuckled, nodding as she tucked a strand of black hair behind her ear. One of her earrings was missing, too, probably lost in the sheets of her bed.
“No worries, Mrs Kim,” she assured. The name Kim sounded too familiar in her mouth for your comfort. “It’s just me here.”
You nodded, giving her a warm smile before going back into your own flat, and you heard your door shut behind you, though you couldn’t remember closing it.
Steam fogged up the mirrors and windows in your bathroom, made your vision clouded and hot. Boiling water cascaded down your back, warming your spine, and you scrubbed at your skin until it was raw. The sound of the shower running was enough to drown out the pathetic sobs that racked your body, was enough to silence the hushed whispers that echoed from next door.
Tumblr media
You weren’t sure who told you, but someone once said to you that when things get difficult in your personal life, work offers a type of asylum that no human could bid you. The following month, that was your experience.
Nights spent helping Mr Hwang at the office had become your new favourite thing to do, considering the fact that your husband always had to work late. You went to work as early as you were allowed to, before your husband woke up, and you came back only hours after he fell asleep.
You took your meals at work, took your calls at work, and bought groceries during your breaks and stored them in the office fridge until you got home. The only time you were doing something besides sleeping or bathing at home was when you made your husband lunch, placed it neatly in the fridge with a simple note.
내 사랑. My love.
As predicted, your husband didn’t notice the change, too caught up in his own life to really care. Perhaps he was under the impression that you were working harder because you wanted a promotion, unaware that it was impossible for you to be granted such a pleasure. Your neighbour was in a similar predicament, of which you wouldn’t know, because he hadn’t spoken to you since you sat down together at the tea house.
Almost as if spurred on by the mere thought of him in your pretty head, Jaehyun called you that night, at the office. You frowned when you answered, and heard his voice respond.
“Do you want to get coffee sometime?”
You paused, waiting for him to elaborate. When he didn’t, you asked, “Right now?”
“…Yes. Why not?”
Inclining your head, you weighed your options. You’d worked overtime the entire week now, and Mr Hwang was starting to get worried. You didn’t want to raise so much suspicion that he’d make a call home and ask your husband anything, so maybe working less hours tonight would do you good. Besides, it’s been a while since you actually went out somewhere that wasn’t work or the supermarket.
“Where?” you asked. You heard a sigh of relief on the other side, and found yourself smiling at his antics.
“How about that little diner down the street from your office?” Jaehyun suggested, and it was then that you remembered you only worked a few streets away from one another. “Their coffee is really good, and the seating is better than most diners in the area.”
You accepted, disconnecting the call and packing up your things, telling Mr Hwang that you’d be going home early. Well, technically on time, but that would count as early considering the hours you’d been working.
That’s how you got where you were now—sat across a crimson red booth from Jaehyun, stirring your cooling coffee as it warmed the gold-rimmed mint green cup it had been served in.
Jaehyun looked tired. Still handsome, you admitted. Of course you admitted it, because anyone could see it, even a married woman with a husband just as handsome. But there was something about the way he carried himself, about the circles starting to form under his eyes, about the near bird’s nest that was his hair, that made him look unspeakably tired, more so than any man his age should be. You didn’t know that he was thinking the same, wondering how someone as young as you could look so burnt out, as if your happiness was running thin, as if you needed a shoulder to cry on, arms to fall asleep in.
“I like your shoes,” he commented, bumping his foot with yours.
The action made you freeze, before you realised it was really just a harmful gesture. “Thanks,” you smiled. “My husband got them for me when he was in Singapore a few months ago. I’ve got a few more pairs in different colours.”
He hummed. “Do you know which store he got them from? You always look so put-together and chic wearing them. I want to buy a pair for my wife.”
“Mm, I’m not sure,” you said. “I’ll ask my husband. Do you know what size your wife wears?”
He scoffed softly. “Only a bad husband wouldn’t. She’s a size six.”
Nodding, you said, “I’ll ask him to pick up two pairs for me next time he goes, so that I could give your wife the second. It’s great that we’re the same size.”
A beat of silence followed, before you softly said, “I like your watch.”
Glancing at the shiny glass surface, Jaehyun nodded in thanks for the compliment. “Thank you. My wife got it for me when she was in Thailand.”
“Do you know which shop she bought it from?” you questioned, taking a sip of your coffee.
Jaehyun shook his head, taking a sip of his own coffee, savouring the bitterness as it seeped into his tastebuds. “M-mm,” he murmured. “But I’ll ask her, and let you know when she comes back to me.”
“It looks familiar, though,” you said, inclining your head. “I think I’ve seen it somewhere.”
Silence.
“My husband has a watch just like that.”
Jaehyun ducked his head, smiling brokenly.
“My wife has a pair of shoes just like yours.”
You sighed softly, falling back in your seat. For someone who’d been very good at being silent and serene for the past month, you were feeling very much like crying as hard as you did when you first knocked on Mrs Park’s door only to find that she’d been ‘alone’, and your husband was nowhere to be found.
Jaehyun glanced at you from beneath his lenses as the light reflected off of them, plump lips forming an unsure frown. Your brows were furrowed as if you were angry, though he could see the tears forming in your eyes, brimming with emotion. You looked so sad, so hurt, that he wanted nothing more than to reach across the table and take your hand. But, even when Jaehyun didn’t know much about you, he knew you were loyal to your husband, even when the bastard couldn’t even return that loyalty.
“I’ve had my suspicions for a while,” he admitted, finally breaking the silence.
“Since when?” you asked, resting your chin in the palm of your hand as you elbow touched the table. You harshly wiped at your eyes, hoping he hadn’t seen the tears gathering there.
“Since we had dinner together, about six months ago,” he said. “My wife doesn’t talk about cars with just anyone.”
“And my husband doesn’t talk about politics with just anyone,” you added.
Jaehyun smiled. He found himself chuckling, snorting bitterly at the idea of your spouses together. They didn’t even make a bad match, he had to admit. They worked in similar industries, always travelled, and clearly shared more common ground than any of you had thought. You couldn’t help your own morose grin, your head falling into your hands as you shook with silent laughter.
“I don’t know what I’m supposed to do,” you said eventually, trying to taper your laughter. “I seriously have no idea how to proceed with my life.”
Jaehyun shook his head, clamping a hand over his mouth to silence himself. “Neither do I,” came his muffled voice.
You laughed together for a few moments, in virtual silence, save for the deep breaths you took in between hysterical giggles.
Jaehyun removed his hand from his mouth then, running it through his hair as his eyes widened slowly. He shook his head for a second time, as if still processing the information. Your own attention had gone from the situation to something more present: your coffee. Your painted fingers swirled around the rim, sliding easily along the green porcelain as the man in front of you settled his gaze elsewhere.
The lights above you flickered, and you became aware of the other conversations floating through the air, accompanied by melodious music. You were just every other person in this diner, in your own little world, discussing your own little dilemmas, feeling as if your world would come crashing down at any moment—and no one else in the restaurant would know, or care, just like how you didn’t care about their conversations or the state of their lives.
“We won’t be like them,” he promised, speaking his words of honour into the deafening silence.
You stared at him wordlessly, fingers trembling. “I don’t think we will,” you agreed softly.
Tumblr media
The early autumn breeze filtered through your half opened windows, nipping at your thinly covered skin. You rolled onto your side, your hip hitting something soft—a pillow, probably. Your arms ached from the book you held high above your face, tired eyes flitting over the words on the page. Jaehyun chuckled at the sight, seeing how you overexerted yourself with the way your arms shook.
“How’s the book?” he enquired, his own fingers moving deftly across a page as he scrawled down words upon words of melancholy rhapsody.
“Good. The love interest was just introduced,” you said.
Your neighbour quirked a brow. “How do you know it’s the love interest, then?”
“Because the protagonist has been describing his hair for three pages now.”
Jaehyun’s laugh echoed through your small living room, and you nearly shot up from your position to shush him. He gave you a look, rolling his eyes. “I’m just visiting my neighbour for coffee and a chat,” he protested. “If Mrs Hong or Mrs Lee hear me, that’s what they’ll think. They think far too highly of you to assume you’d have me over for obscene reasons.”
You sighed softly, though that was the truth. The average person’s mind was far quicker to draw the conclusion of infidelity when it came to a man hosting a woman in his home, rarely the other way around. You plopped back down onto the couch without another word, going back to your book.
“How’s the song coming along?” you questioned, turning to a page where the protagonist finally moved on to describe her love interest’s eyes.
Jaehyun shrugged. “Alright, I suppose. It’s no Frank Sinatra, but it’s coming along.”
You smiled. “No one besides Frank Sinatra is Frank Sinatra. Don’t beat yourself up about it, Jaehyun-ssi.”
He snorted, before going back to his writing.
“I finished that comic you gave me, by the way,” you added, turning another page. You turned your head, glancing at him from your spot on the couch. “It was good. A bit ridiculous, but I think comics should be ridiculous every now and then.”
“Funny you’d say that,” your neighbour said. “I happen to think so, too.”
Time had passed more quickly than you’d anticipated, and before you knew it, a month had passed since you’d had coffee with Jaehyun that night, since you’d both uttered the words “We won’t be like them.” You supposed it was only natural, then, that you gravitated toward each other after you’d made your promise to one another.
You tilted your head. “Are you hungry?”
Jaehyun looked up, thoughtful. “I could eat.”
“Well… coffee, a chat, and lunch doesn’t sound too suspect, does it?” you asked, already sitting up.
He shook his head, smiling. “I don’t think so, no. Although, I’m biased, given the fact that I’d never say no to free food.”
Only natural that you’d become friends, that you’d fallen back into your previously forgotten routine of running into each other on your way to work or in the marketplace, this time purposely walking together, meeting each other at the crossroads where your two universes met.
“Can you pass the kimchi?” Jaehyun asked, and you dutifully gave him the little bowl of pickled cabbage for him to use. “You know, I think you’ve finally perfected how to grill your meat,” he said, through a mouthful of rice.
You smiled, warmth blossoming in your chest. “Really? I thought maybe this time it wouldn’t come out as good as last, but I’m glad you like my cooking.”
Only natural that you’d find solace in each other, having found one another in identical loneliness…
…Right?
Tumblr media
With the inky black sky hanging so high above you, you felt smaller than ever, wrapped in your too-big raincoat, dwarfed by your massive umbrella. Jaehyun was taking long, and you were starting to wonder whether he’d show up at all. Rain was lashing from the heavens, soaking passersby rushing to get home and forming little rivers wherever it fell.
You didn’t lose hope in him, rather leaning against the wall behind you, and waited on the sidewalk that connected your route to work with his. Soon enough, you heard the scuff of dress shoes on the wet pavement, and you looked up to see Jaehyun jogging toward you, holding his blazer over his head.
You quickly ushered him under the umbrella, but not without accidentally taking his eye out as you forgot just how tall he was. “Why didn’t you bring a raincoat?” you asked. “You’ll catch a cold only wearing your suit! The radio said there was ninety percent chance for rain today!”
“Aren’t I a little old to be having my radio on all the time?” Jaehyun sassed, and you had to keep your scoff to yourself. “It’s no matter, anyhow. You would’ve let me under your umbrella regardless, wouldn’t you?”
You didn’t say anything, rather fixing him with a playful glare.
Jaehyun fell into step next to you as you walked uphill, him walking on the outside while you stayed shielded from the cars on the inside. “I talked to my wife today,” he said. You shared a glance, and he continued, “She still doesn’t know that I know, or that you do, for that matter.”
You sighed, staying wilfully silent as you made your way up the street. You could see your apartment building nearby, and waited for the silence to reach Jaehyun so that you could walk on in peace. The older man noticed this, of course. It was hard not to, with the way you looked like you’d rather be listening to rocks falling onto a tin roof than him. So he stayed silent as well, shoving his hands into his pockets as he walked.
The steps leading up to your flats had been housing a steady stream of rainwater, leading Jaehyun to fall back and walk behind you. His hands twitched whenever you seemed like you were going to lose your balance, ready to catch you if you fell, but you never did.
The walk to your homes was filled with a palpable silence, neither of you saying so much as a word. You dug your keys out of your coat pocket, jamming them into the keyhole, turning them as quickly as you could. You weren’t sure if your husband was home yet, but judging from the fact that the door was locked, he’d be working another ‘late night’ tonight.
“I’m really sorry, you know.”
Eyes widening, you turned to the man next to you, giving Jaehyun a surprised glance. He sighed softly, unsure how to proceed.
“I know no one deserves what we got,” was what he settled on. “No one, no matter how uninteresting or unattractive they are, deserves to be cheated on. But I’m specifically sorry for you.” His eyes finally settling on yours, he added, “You don’t deserve to be treated the way your husband is treating you. You deserve better.”
Glancing up at him, you could only muster a weak smile. As much as you didn’t like discussing your spouses’ infidelity, you knew Jaehyun was going through the same things you were. You were the only other person who knew how he felt, what he thought.
“I know,” you said. “So do you.”
Tumblr media
Over the course of the next few weeks, your visits with Jaehyun became more and more common. Your husband had left for Singapore, while Mrs Park was off in Europe visiting friends. Jaehyun couldn’t go on account of his work, and neither could you. So, the weeks that your spouses weren’t home were filled with light, friendly conversation that you’d never had before.
It became apparent to you early on in yours and Jaehyun’s friendship that your husband had deprived you of a world you loved every bit of, no matter its faults. He’d never allowed you more than a few words exchanged between his colleagues or his own friends, and that hadn’t gotten you the opportunity to make friends with anyone else, male or female.
Jeong Jaehyun made for stimulating conversation, and for a lovely travel partner. You found out more about him than you’d ever thought you would, and vice versa. You learnt that Jaehyun had wanted kids since he was sixteen, and Jaehyun learnt that you had a passion for painting. He wanted to go to an art museum at least once in his life, and you wanted to go to Paris before you turned thirty.
It was easier to talk to him, you assumed, because he was married as well, and because he was close by. You were both adults, married, albeit to cheaters, and weren’t held back by the societal norms of only needing to discuss certain things rather than whatever you pleased.
He had an odd liking for chicken and beer, and you were a better cook than you let on. He enjoyed Shakespeare in secret, and you appreciated the artwork of the comics he lent you. Your friendship was almost transactional, like that.
“I was thinking of inviting Mr Jeong over for coffee,” you told Mrs Hong, who was nursing her own cup at your dining table. “He’s had some time off these days—”
“Didn’t you hear?” the older woman interrupted. “He’s deathly sick! Came down with a terrible cold a few days ago. I think it’s because he’s been walking to work without an umbrella.”
You stopped, face contorting with worry. He hadn’t told you that he’d gotten sick, nor had you gotten the impression that he was. Then again, he’d made himself scarce this week; now you knew why.
“Oh, no,” you murmured, taking a seat opposite your landlady. “Has he shown any signs of getting better?”
Mrs Hong shook her head. “I brought him some food this morning, but he whined that all he wanted to eat was hotteok.” She chuckled. “He may be twenty eight, but he certainly behaves like a child when he’s sick.”
You hummed. Hotteok. You’d had it before, but you’d never attempted to make it. That would change today, it seemed.

𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬
It had been a challenge and a half, learning how to make hotteok. You’d taken one of your trusted housewives’ magazines and flipped through it until you found a recipe, and got to work. The first few were less than ideal, some burnt, some lumpy, some… hideously deformed, until you finally got the hang of it. You decided to make a syrup with it, just because Mrs Hong mentioned Jaehyun had wanted something sweet, as grateful as he was for her food.
You stacked them neatly onto a plate, both the pancakes and the syrup, making sure nothing spilled or sudated, before heading next door, knocking lightly on the Jeongs’ front door.
It swung open a moment later, revealing a disheveled Jaehyun. He was bundled in blankets, his hair a mess, and his nose rubbed red and raw. You nearly wanted to coo at the sight, but contained yourself for your dignity’s sake.
Your friend frowned, before breaking into a tired smile. “Afternoon, Mrs Kim,” he greeted, and you wondered how he even mustered up the energy to be jokey when he was on Death’s doorstep.
You held up the plate of pancakes, saying, “I made hotteok.”
Jaehyun’s red-rimmed eyes widened, and his face split into an astonished smile. He snatched it from your grasp, saying, “I’ve been craving these all day. How did you know?”
You shrugged. “I happened to make some this afternoon, and I thought you might like it. Call it a coincidence.”
Tumblr media
“You’re late.”
“I told you, I was going to work overtime tonight.”
“I called your office, and your colleague said you’d gone home early.”
Sigh.
“Fine. Do you want to know where I’ve really been?”
“…Yes.”
Silence.
“Mrs Kim?” Your lip started to tremble, and you could feel the tears gathering in your eyes, waiting to roll down your cheeks in a steady flow of overwhelming emotion. “Mrs Kim?”
“I can’t do it,” you choked out. “I can’t do this.”
Jaehyun sighed softly, wrapping his arms around your shoulders. He rested his chin on your head, rubbing comforting circles on your clothed back. “This is just a rehearsal,” he chastised. “What are you going to do when you actually have to confront him, huh? You can’t just burst into tears.”
You sobbed, desperately wrapping your arms around his middle, your head resting in the crook of his neck. His hold was so gentle, softer than you’d ever felt before, as if you were made of glass, as if he was afraid of breaking you. “I’m sorry,” you cried. “I don’t know what I’m going to do when he’s actually standing in front of me. I don’t think I can even do it.”
“Nonsense,” he said. “You can do it.” Letting go of you, Jaehyun took your hands in his in a chaste gesture. “You just don’t have to do it right now. Come on.” He leaned back, giving you some space. “Let’s try with me, okay?”
You nodded. “Okay.”
Jaehyun cleared his throat. “You’ve been very distant lately.”
You sighed, trying to emulate Mrs Park’s sophisticated nonchalance. “I don’t know what you mean.”
“I think you know very well what I mean,” he said.
These rehearsals were odd, sometimes. You weren’t used to acting, much less having someone else act as your spouse and you as theirs, all for the sake of preparing yourselves for a confrontation that might never come. And, much less acting out these situations in a rented hotel room where nothing but conversations happened.
Jaehyun continued, “You’ve been closed off with me recently, and you never used to be. Something’s the matter, dove.”
Dove. It seemed it was a genuine mistake, given your friend’s apologetic expression, and yet, your heart ached nonetheless.
“Sorry,” he said, sheepish.
“It’s okay,” you assured, smiling sadly, before clearing your throat to continue. “Nothing’s the matter. How can it be, when we barely see each other?”
“That’s the problem I’m talking about. You’re avoiding me.”
“Perhaps I simply don’t want to see you every day.”
“But you never see me.”
“…I’ve been having an affair with Mr Kim from next door.”
“For how long?”
You shrugged as Mrs Park. “I don’t know. A year and a half? It’s hard to tell.”
“Do you love him?”
You bit your lip so hard it nearly started bleeding. “Well, I must. After all, there’s only so much physical attraction can do for you.”
Silence.
Jaehyun pursed his lips, opening his arms for you. “Oh, come here,” he said, gently taking you into his hold. Your body shook with sobs as he hummed comfortingly, keeping his arms wrapped around you as you cried into his shoulder.
Everything about this felt so overwhelming, so wrong. You felt filthy, speaking the words your spouses spoke to each other. How did they even make it through a day without collapsing with guilt? Did neither of them think that far, care that much? How was it that they could go behind your backs for nearly a year and a half, yet you felt guilty just accepting a hug from someone else’s husband?
“Shh, shh… it’s okay,” Jaehyun assured. “You’re going to be alright.”
You sniffled, disentangling yourself from his arms. Your posture was deflated, your expression dejected. You felt so tired, wanted nothing more than for all this to be gone. You enjoyed Jaehyun’s company, but you had a husband who you wanted to spend time with, who you wanted to love. It was just…
…Why couldn’t he see it that way? Why did he go anywhere but you for love?
When Jaehyun stared at you, taking in your heartbroken appearance, your tired, sunken eyes, your trembling lip, the tips of his fingers brushing yours, he realised you were never going to leave your husband.
Tumblr media
When you opened your door to a brisk knock, smile ready for your friend, you were not expecting to see your landlady in his place, looking very much like she knew something that you didn’t.
“Mrs Kim!” she greeted, and you swore she put an extra emphasis on Kim before she rushed into your flat, a woven basket in hand. “How are you? How’s your husband? Is he well? I hope he is.”
As she whizzed past you, switching on your kettle and taking out cups and coffee powder as if she owned the place, you turned with a quizzical expression, a bit afraid to ask what’s got her so whipped up in a frenzy.
“I’m quite well,” you said. “I’m sure Mr Kim is, too. He’s in Singapore for work, but he hasn’t gotten the opportunity to call me these days.” He’d called you once, to brightly ask which shoes you wanted this time. That was a week ago.
“Oh, that’s lovely.” Mrs Hong smiled, nearly ripping open your fridge for the milk. “You know, I hear of a lot of women travelling with their husbands when they go to work overseas.”
You paused.
“And Singapore is so nice this time of year, or any time of year, really, that I think you should consider becoming one of those wives!” the old woman continued, none the wiser. “Your work here may seem important, but it’s so labourous, and I think you’d just love Singapore. Have I said it was lovely this time of year?”
“Mrs Hong,” you started, struggling to keep the hurt out of your voice, “do you want me gone?”
“What?” She clearly hadn’t expected that straightforward of a question. “No, no, you’re mistaken, Mrs Kim!” she laughed, rushing over to you and taking your shoulders. “No, I don’t want you gone. What a silly thought! I just…” She sighed, looking at you as if you were a lost lamb. “You are lonely here, I think, without your husband to keep you company. And… and I see that you’ve made friends with Mr Jeong from next door, but if you’re not careful—”
“I may fall prey to his charms and become unfaithful,” you guessed, nodding. Of course she did, because to women like Mrs Hong, men besides their husband were merely temptations put there to test them, rather than real, flawed human beings who just may not exist as sexual devices, waiting for you to stray.
You shook your head. “You don’t need to worry, Mrs Hong. Jaehyun-ssi is just a friend to me, and that’s all he ever will be. I love my husband very much, and he loves his wife just as much. There’s nothing to be concerned about.”
Mrs Hong sighed a great, relieved sigh, putting her hand over her heart. “Oh, you’re so strong!” she praised. “It’s good that you and Mr Jeong know not to grow too fond of one another. Goodness knows young people these days don’t have your kind of sense.”
Tumblr media
Jaehyun was in love with you.
He wasn’t sure when exactly it happened. Or how, for that matter. It seemed that somewhere between making that pact with you and your last ‘confrontation’, his feelings for you turned from platonic fondness to ardent, passionate love. When he realised that you wouldn’t leave your husband on account of your weakened heart, it hurt him so much more than it should’ve. Why? Because he wanted to be married to you? Or simply because he’d been deprived of intimacy for so long that he was beginning to think like his wife, to go for who’s nearest?
And yet, even as Jaehyun contemplated the possibility of that being a reality, he knew it wasn’t just because he liked the way you looked. He liked everything about you. The way you looked, the way you spoke, the things you spoke of, the way you tried to brush off genuine, thought-out gestures and attempted to remain blasé, the way your hips swayed when you walked, the way you dressed, the way you laughed, the way you cooked, the way you read. Everything you did, Jaehyun found adorable.
He also wasn’t sure how to approach it. He knew that you loved him as well. He knew it. But he also knew that you’d been depriving yourself of so many things—enjoyment, revenge, a goddamn break—and would never, ever think to leave your husband. You were too afraid, because then you’d have to confront him about his affair, which could lead to him leaving you, which meant divorce. Divorce meant spending money that you didn’t have, dividing things that he would probably get the bulk of, all on account of him being a man, and you being a woman.
That’s also partly why he didn’t want to divorce Mrs Park. He didn’t love her the way he used to, clearly she didn’t, either, but he didn’t want to leave her out to dry just because of that. He was a lawyer; if they divorced, he could, and probably would, be able to leave her in the dust, penniless and pitiful. But he didn’t want to.
“We won’t be like them.” Those were the words Jaehyun uttered to you, those were the words you agreed on. You’d only be as bad as them if you left them in the name of revenge, if you started an affair of your own. But by God, it would’ve been a much easier promise to keep if you weren’t so… you.
And Jaehyun loved you.
Thoughts like this running through his mind, Jaehyun was preoccupied the whole day. He barely paid attention at work, rather letting the workload fall back onto his colleagues; he couldn’t eat, and as he was making dinner, he almost burnt the rice because his mind was in a much more important place. He didn’t even notice the door open until he heard the click of it shutting.
The first person that came to mind was you, and Jaehyun internally scolded himself for that. When he turned, he came face to face with the exact opposite.
His wife stood in front of the door, several shopping bags hanging from her slender frame, her suitcase trailing behind her. She was white as a ghost, her usually made up face a mess of mascara smudges and desolate eyes. Her hair seemed a mess, and Jaehyun wondered if this is what he usually looked like when he worked as long as she had.
“My love,” he greeted, pressing a chaste kiss to her cheek and relieving her of her load, taking the shopping bags and setting them down on the kitchen counter. “How was your flight? Not too bad, I hope.”
“No, it was fine,” she smiled, though there was something fickle about it. “Nothing of note.”
Jaehyun was reminded of how you looked before you burst into tears, the way you tried to bite your trembling lip in an attempt to stop an onslaught of hot, messy tears. His wife was doing that exact thing, now. Funny, how you seemed to have become the default. It always used to be her.
He hummed, unconvinced. “Is there something you want to tell me, dove?”
Despite the nickname slipping out earlier in the week, Jaehyun hadn’t called his wife by her special name in a long, long time. He knew it would prompt her to cave; she pitied him that much, at least.
“I…” She swallowed, and reached to grip onto the kitchen counter, as if steeling herself. With a turn, almost an anguished flourish, she settled her gaze on Jaehyun. “I’m pregnant.”
Okay. What the fuck?
Jaehyun’s eyes widened, and he was suddenly made very aware that nothing would’ve prepared him for those words coming from his wife’s mouth. And, what would’ve been a blessing in his life at any other moment, what would’ve made tears of joy spring to his eyes if she’d said it in any other universe, now made his insides churn, now made his mouth run dry with terror.
Mrs Park tried for a smile, opening her arms as she awaited for her husband to embrace her. “It’s a miracle, my darling,” she said, smiling nervously. “Aren’t you… aren’t you happy? We’re going to have a baby!”
Jaehyun, leaned against the dining table, arms crossed over his chest, said, “We haven’t slept together.” It took everything in him not to burst into tears and throw himself out of the nearest window.
She faltered. “Wh-what? No, don’t be ridiculous, honey,” she laughed, her tone becoming frantic now. “We did, just a few weeks ago!”
“You were on your monthlies then,” Jaehyun reminded her, “and that was two months ago. We haven’t slept together at a time where you could’ve fallen pregnant, I made sure of that, because you told me you didn’t want children yet, and you wouldn’t want them for a long while. That’s why we always planned around your fertility window.”
She scoffed, though he could see her starting to panic. “Stop it, Jaehyun. You’re lying. Don’t lie to me. We slept together, and now I’m pregnant. You’re going to be a father.”
He sighed softly. “I’m lying? My wife, look me in the eyes, and tell me, I’m the one who’s lying.”
“I just did!” she cried. “You’re going to be a father. We’re going to be parents, and that’s that.”
“Does he know?” Jaehyun asked.
“Does who know?”
“Your lover.”
Silence had never settled more quickly over two people. Mrs Park shook her head, her teary eyes widening in horror. “No,” she said. “No. I didn’t— I don’t—”
“It’s alright,” he sighed. “I’ve known for a while, now. I mean, all those overseas business trips with the workers from the other transport company? The watches we wear? The shoes you come home with? You don’t think I’ve noticed the similarities, the fact that they’re all identical?” He scoffed, shocked beyond words. “You must’ve thought you’d married an idiot.”
Tumblr media
Click. Click. Click.
Smoke clouded Jaehyun’s face as he took a long drag from his cigarette, exhaling deeply, letting the smoke fill his nostrils, overpower his senses in any way they could.
Click. Click. Click.
He didn’t look up when you came down the steps of the apartment building. He guessed you were dressed in more casual clothing, as today was your day off. He then wondered why on Earth he knew that, and reminded himself that you knew him and his schedule just as well.
“Jaehyun-ssi.”
Your voice was soft, agreeable in the same way you were as a person. You reached for his arm, fingers curling around his bicep in your own unique way of greeting. He didn’t like the fact that he could feel your wedding ring digging into his skin, where his sat on his bedside table, long forgotten.
He tried for a smile, grasping your hand. You probably hoped the action was friendly rather than fond, and he couldn’t fault you for it. “Evening,” he said. “You out on a stroll?”
You chuckled. “About as much as you are.” You settled on the wall next to him, your touch leaving his skin cold and wanting for more. You crossed your arms over your chest, and Jaehyun indicated his cigarette. You glanced at it curiously, but accepted it and took an experimental drag.
Coughs racked your body as you immediately handed it back to Jaehyun, who was laughing lightly at the sight. “Sorry,” he said. “I forgot you don’t smoke.”
“And I don’t much feel like trying after that,” you wheezed.
Your friend scoffed. “Oh, come on, don’t be dramatic,” he chided. “It wasn’t that bad. You barely even took a proper drag!”
You shook your head, signalling to the older man that it had been that bad.
A silence enveloped the two of you, calm and welcome. Jaehyun’s cigarette lit a small, red light in front of his eyes, lighting up his face, his tanned skin, his dark hair. You stayed next to him, fingers tapping gently against your own arm, wedding ring burning against your skin. It burnt with the same intensity as your husband’s kisses, scorching you like hellfire. It was not the gentle, pleasurable warmth that you felt when your hands brushed Jaehyun’s, nowhere near as gentle or gladly received. Of course, Mr Kim was none the wiser. Didn’t even know that you’d slipped out of bed to go see someone else, didn’t even know that what he thought were kisses covering up his infidelity made your skin crawl with disgust.
It had been a hard week for Jaehyun to power through, especially without you to fall back on for company. His wife barely ever spoke to him unless they were discussing plans on how to proceed with their relationship, unless they were attempting to keep face in front of the elders’ keen eyes. Nor did you, on account of your husband finally returning from his travels. The man had been attached to your hip since he walked through that door, and it made Jaehyun sick because he knew. Knew what you didn’t. What he didn’t know, however, was that your husband’s presence had been as well-received by you as it had been by him.
“I’m moving into a new flat across town,” Jaehyun spoke into silence. He rubbed at his eyes, as if tired. “I leave at the end of the month.”
Your eyes widened, shocked. Hurt.
“Gongmi and I are getting a divorce,” he added. They hadn’t spoken further after she revealed that she was pregnant, had only agreed that it would be best for Jaehyun to move out, a feat he gladly took up. He shrugged. “Just decided it’s for the best.”
“Oh… Well, I’m happy you found the heart to do it,” you said, because you know you never could. Thinking of having to leave your husband, it made you so afraid. What would you do, if you didn’t have him?
Jaehyun chuckled with the same kind of bitterness as that day he realised Gongmi was cheating on him. As if your mere words caused him immense distress and anger just to hear. He wished you could leave your husband. He wished he could be with you. He wished you could be with him.
“Yeah. Me too. I wish you would, too, but I know you won’t ever leave your husband.”
As of late, you found yourself staring at Jaehyun’s face, analysing his every expression or word, every little laugh he gave, whether it was good or bad, every twitch of his nose, every quirk of his lips. It was the same thing you used to do if you had a crush on someone as a little girl. You’d look at them for hours on end, memorise every centimetre of their face, and hope they wouldn’t see.
You’d never looked at Kim Myeong like that.
Jaehyun looked hurt, even though you knew he was wearing an expression that tried to cover it up. He looked at you with the softest eyes, as if you held his heart in your hands like a prized possession. You sighed shakily, smiling.
“I didn’t think you’d fall in love with me.”
“I didn’t, either. I was only curious to know how it started. Now I know. Feelings can creep up just like that. I thought I was in control.”
Tumblr media
The winter storms came early this year, ripping through the city like a vengeful deity wreaking havoc upon a civilisation who wronged him. The roads grew slick and slippery with ice, and people’s noses turned red from the cold. Layers upon layers were shrugged on to no avail, for the frost always found its way into one’s bones.
Jeong Jaehyun’s new apartment building had better central heating than the previous one had. When he stepped inside the meticulously decorated flat, he could shrug off at least two of the four layers he’d been wearing, could gather in front of his desk with a cup of coffee without needing to wrap himself in a blanket.
It had been two months since he last saw you, spoke to you. You’d returned home that night, wiping tears from your eyes. Jaehyun didn’t follow, too scared he might grasp your arm too hard, too scared his voice may crack with hidden emotion if he tried to utter your beautiful name.
He now sat at his desk, glowering at the bright green phone that hung on his wall, just sitting there and taunting him, egging him on, saying, Go on. Call her.
What would he even say to you? When you parted ways that night, you made your stance clear. You would never leave your husband, you wouldn’t even confront him about his affair.
Speaking of, Jaehyun’s divorce with Gongmi had been swift. Not a clean break, per se, but thanks to Jaehyun’s profession, it took half the time it would’ve if he hadn’t been a lawyer.
Sighing, Jaehyun wondered when she’d actually tell Myeong that she was pregnant. It wasn’t his business in the least to tell anyone, but it was eating away at him, day by day, with every second that passed.
He glanced at the telephone again, before lurching forward, punching in a familiar number.
“Hwang Hyunjung’s office, how may I help you?”
The sound of your voice was enough to stop Jaehyun’s heart in its tracks, picking up pulse as it began to beat erratically. On the other end, you frowned. “Hel—?”
“Hi,” he greeted, breathless.
“…Jaehyun. Why are you calling me at the office?” you enquired lightly. Despite the clipped words, your tone was pleasant, as if you were letting him in on a joke. “I’m working.”
“I just wanted to hear your voice,” he admitted.
God, he was pathetic. Spending his day off thinking of someone else’s wife, writing shoddy songs about her, all while not even being able to face her.
You smiled. “Oh. Then, hi, Jaehyun-ssi.” It had just occurred to you that you hadn’t greeted him properly. “How was your day?”
“It was alright,” he sighed. “I’ve finally finished moving in, and handed in the last of the paperwork to finalise the divorce. How… how have you been?”
Have you left him yet? is more what his question sounded like. You sighed softly, toying with the telephone chord between your fingers. “I’ve been well,” you said.
That was it. No, ‘This and this happened at work,’ no, ‘I finished this book yesterday,’ no, ‘I left my husband and I’m ready to admit that I’m in love with you.’
He exhaled, releasing a frustrated little moan. You were so young, only twenty four, and still you were more adult than Jaehyun had ever been, he thought.
Or were you, truly? you thought. He’d had the heart to leave his wife and move out, completely removing himself from a situation that wouldn’t have done him any good if he’d stayed longer. Perhaps you were afraid, rather than mature, staying with a man who didn’t love you when there was one who did.
Myeong didn’t love you. That, you had to remind yourself of whenever he kissed you, whenever he twirled the bottom of your dress in his fingers. He loved Park Gongmi, Jaehyun’s w— No. Not Jaehyun’s wife. Not anymore. Whenever he had the time, he went out to see her. He still worked late hours. He still went on business trips with her. Still kissed her behind closed doors, still promised to tell you about her sooner rather than later.
You sighed softly, your shoulders slumping. These thoughts, these thoughts running through your head. How would you proceed? You had to think about this logically, yet sometimes the urge to simply pack your bags and run away into Jeong Jaehyun’s arms gripped you like a vice.
“I’m going to Paris,” Jaehyun said promptly, in that same, abrupt, Jaehyun-esque fashion. “Next week.”
The line stayed silent, and he could imagine your expression. He didn’t want to.
“If…” He hesitated, his fingers beginning to tremble. “If I had an extra plane ticket, would you go with me?”
Once again, silence. You shifted unsurely, leaning against the wall of Mr Hwang’s office.
“Jaehyun-ssi…”
Sigh.
“…I know.”

몇 시간이 지났습니다
𝐒𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬
Winter was in full swing. Several snowstorms a day, slick, slippery pavements coated in frost, your home like a winter wonderland in the worst way possible.
You weren’t exactly sure what you were doing, walking to your crossroads at this hour. Navigating your way through a sea of inky black skies and warm paper lanterns, however, you took the steps two at a time, narrowly missing hitting your head on one of them as you passed. The only lights illuminating the street were the lamps that lined the concrete, the only sounds were cars passing by, each carrying salary workers on their way home.
Several conversations swirling through your head, you rounded a corner, nearly tripping over your own shoes with how fast you were running. “I’ve been meaning to tell you,” Myeong’s desperate voice crackled in your mind like an announcement over an intercom.
“Yet you didn’t,” you’d said evenly. “And you lied to me for a year and a half.” You’d simply shaken your head, waving the older man off. “You don’t love me anymore. Part of me wonders if you ever did… Or if I ever loved you.”
You’d not the slightest as to what could’ve possibly possessed you to act so brashly. Perhaps you’d finally had enough, enough of the lies and the pretending. Perhaps you’d finally come to your senses, realised that a life lived in a lie was not a life worth living. All you knew was that you were running, and Jaehyun was going to Paris next week, and you ran faster the moment you spotted the familiar plume of smoke rising from the crossroads.
Jaehyun wasn’t exactly sure what he was doing, waiting at the crossroads until this hour. After your conversation—could one even call it that?—something strange had possessed him to take a walk, and his legs carried him here. It was as if his body knew nothing else, knew only to wait there, not sure what he was waiting for, until he saw you run around the corner.
You looked as if you’d run several blocks to get here, and he wondered why. You’d have finished up work a few hours before, and should’ve been resting at home currently. Except, of course, you weren’t.
You were here. With Jaehyun.
Your pace slowed to a light stroll, ambling over to him with legs weak and gawky from running. You never had been a runner, not for any man.
Jaehyun said nothing as you approached him, stopping in front of him. He could hear your shallow inhales deepen as you regained your breath, could smell the perfume he’d bought for you in secret and disguised as a thank you gift one night. Oriental, the soft, warm scent of cinnamon and patchouli clinging to your skin. He could see your shoes enter his line of sight, those cute black kitten heels you always wore to work.
He finally looked up at you when he heard you sigh softly, as if readying yourself for a speech; a rant, at the very least.
Yet all you said was,
“I don’t want to go home.”
And that was enough for Jaehyun.
It had been a mess of kisses then, the moment you two stepped foot in his flat, a clash of lips and teeth in the most spectacular way possible. He’d all but ran home with you in his arms, not even waiting for the door to open properly before pressing his lips to yours. His hands were everywhere; in your hair, on your hips, eagerly shrugging off your coat, and then your shirt, whatever he could find.
“Jaehyun-ssi,” you’d breathed, barely grasping onto his shirt before you were enveloped in his arms, his hands circling your waist from behind. His glasses hung low on the bridge of his nose, threatening to fall off if you hadn’t pushed them back into place.
“Yoonoh,” he corrected, softly pressing his lips against your neck. “My name is Yoonoh.”
You could barely speak, could barely even utter the first syllables of his name before he called yours, his warm, strong hands digging into your skin. He reached for your hand, stopping his movements then, as he held it over your shoulder. Your wedding ring was nowhere to be found, and he almost wept with joy. He stayed like that for a moment, drinking in the sound of your breaths mingling, the sight of you from this angle, the feeling of your skin against his.
Yoonoh turned you round in his arms, inhaling the soft scent of your perfume marrying with his, cinnamon and patchouli and myrrh and tonka, clinging to your dewy skin like an invisible halo. He pressed a kiss to your neck, then your forehead, and finally to your lips.
“I love you,” he whispered later that night, your cheek pressed against his bare collarbone, your lips resting in the crook of his neck. “So much.”
You lifted your head, your eyes meeting his. His gorgeous bleary brown eyes, and his wonderful swollen pink lips, and kissed them softly. Your hands deftly threaded through his dark hair; it was longer now, splayed across his pillow like a halo. “I love you, too, Jeong Yoonoh.”

The early spring breeze was light and cool on your skin, blowing through your dress, through your hair and in your face as you lay back on the checkered blanket beneath you, listening to the delightful sound of your daughter’s little laughs as she played a game of tag with her father. It was holiday season for the salaryworkers and students, so you and Yoonoh had plenty of time off to spend with one another.
Jeong Byulyi squealed as her father scooped her up into his arms, trying to wriggle free of his strong grasp to no avail. “Appa!” she whined, pouting that familiar pout she’d inherited from her father. “Lemme go.”
“Mm…” Yoonoh feigned thoughtfulness, making sure to squeeze her tighter as he did. “No. I don’t think I will.”
Contrary to his words, he let Byulyi finally worm herself out of his grasp, running to you instead. “Eomma,” she whined, making sure to drag out the last few syllables. She practically threw herself into your lap, expertly ignoring the way you wheezed at the sudden weight, sighing dramatically. “Appa won’t listen to me.”
You chuckled fondly, twirling a strand of her hair absently. “Appa doesn’t listen to me, either,” you assured. “He’s a pain in the neck sometimes, isn’t he?”
“Mm.”
Scoffing at your antics, Yoonoh plopped down onto the blanket beside you, moving your head into his lap out of instict. His fingers deftly moved over your lips, shushing you. “Don’t listen to Eomma, Byulyi,” he chided in a stage whisper. “If there’s one person I always obey, it’s her.”
“Really?” you asked, widening your eyes in feigned wonder. “Gosh, when were you going to tell me this?”
“Shut up,” he murmured, the fond smile on his face counteracting the nature of his words. “You know I’m loyal as a dog.”
“I know,” you whispered back, hands reaching up to cup his face. “As am I to you.”
Five years you’ve been married to Jeong Yoonoh, been introducing yourself with his name attached, been wearing his ring, been bathed in the perfume he’d gifted you. Four years you’d been the mother of his child, loved her with the same passion as you had him, attending parent-teacher meetings with the man who’d once been nothing more than a friend, a faraway desire.
Five years since you’d divorced Myeong, and he’d started a family of his own. He was happy, too, you assumed. The push he got from you had apparently been the push he needed to stop lying to himself. You were glad he could finally live, be free of you, and you be free of him. The same went for Gongmi; you wished her and her new husband and their child nothing but the best.
Five glorious years you’ve spent with the people most important to you. You couldn’t have asked for a better life, in your opinion, even with the difficulties that had come with attaining it.
Yoonoh dipped down to press a longing kiss to your lips, holding both your hands in his as you rose the slightest to meet him halfway.
Your daughter stuck her tongue out in mock disgust. “Eomma, Appa, gross!” she chided.
Breaking from the kiss with a chuckle, Yoonoh reached for your daughter with a, “Come here, you little pest!” and she squealed with laughter, running into your arms once more.

Can I request a jaehyun smut with chubby y/h :)

Tumblr media
“hey, babe? why’d you just leave?” he asks, breathing heavily and wiping his neck with a towel.
“i can’t do this anymore.” you reply.
“what? cant do what anymore, baby. us?” he joins you on the couch and pulls you on his lap. “no. i don’t want to give up on us.”
“then give up on what, baby?” he rubs your soft thighs.
“i don’t want to continue the relationship with josie anymore. i’m done feeling.. unwanted.” your voice shakes.
relationship with josie? a friend of yours who you knew for a good six months.
it all started when she complained about being so lonely and how she couldn’t find anyone to have a good fuck with. so, she suggested a threesome with you and jaehyun. you honestly thought it’d be one time thing until she kept coming over for more.
Tumblr media
the first time was great.
jaehyun had you both lay down and you and josie were both giggly. jaehyun kissed her first. he kissed her body and up to her jaw.
but not her lips.
he kissed her pussy and licked her several times. he complimented her by saying she smelt amazing. that the color of her set was pretty.
baby pink lace bra and lace panties.
he moved to you and kissed you everywhere.
lips.
thighs.
breasts.
pussy.
he told you that you looked beautiful as always. he teased you by kissing your inner thighs before moving back to josie.
“touch yourself for me.” he whispered to you before stroking himself and pulling josie’s panties off.
with a giggle, you brought your hand down to your pussy and rubbed your clit. moaning as you pinch your clit.
you look to the side with a wide grin as josie immediately moans. “doesn’t he feel amazing?” you ask josie and she nods. josie’s back arching off as jaehyuns cock thrusted into her.
josie’s orgasm built as time went by and so did yours. you’d moan and squirt all over the sheets. jaehyun pulled away and watched as his cum poured out of josie’s pussy.
he reached over and rubbed your clit while leaning down and kissing josie’s pussy.
Tumblr media
the second time was okay.
josie had came over wearing the same set as you. it was a bit frustrating because she had looked better in it.
she was skinny and had curves.
you had rolls yet you were curvy.
josie told jaehyun that she wanted anal. she wanted his cock in her ass and jaehyun immediately got hard at the thought.
“want you to touch yourself. okay, baby?” he tells you without giving you a glance. he was just excited to fuck josie in the ass.
your smile slowly dropped as he gave you a demand without giving you a look and without touching you.
you shrugged it off and brought your hand to your pussy that remained untouched. with a sigh, you rubbed your clit.
eyes shut and back arching off the bed as you pinched your clit between your fingers. “oh fuck.. oh fuck..” you moan, feet digging into the bed as your orgasm built.
you were too busy squirting and getting yourself off that you didn’t even hear the moans beside you.
Tumblr media
it went on and on for weeks until finally, you were fed up.
“touch yourself, baby.” jaehyun whispers to you, kissing down your neck. you roll your eyes with a huff.
you reach down and touch your clit. you rub circles on your nub as jaehyun pulls away and moves to josie.
“oh, jaehyun.” josie moans and your eyes snap shut. you inhale and you sit up catching jaehyun and josie’s attention.
you swipe the sweats and hoodie off the ground and you leave the room. making your way to the living room while yanking the clothes on.
your eyes watered and your fingers clenched around your phone as anger took over.
“hey, babe? why’d you just leave?” he asks, breathing heavily and wiping his neck with a towel.
“i can’t do this anymore.” you reply.
“what? cant do what anymore, baby. us?” he joins you on the couch and pulls you on his lap. “no. i don’t want to give up on us.”
“then give up on what, baby?” he rubs your soft thighs. “i don’t want to continue the relationship with josie anymore. i’m done feeling.. unwanted.” your voice shakes.
“unwanted? what do you mean unwanted, baby?” he didn’t know? “are you serious right now, jae? every time she comes over for sex, it’s always her who’s getting fucked and it’s always me who’s having to finger myself and having to make myself cum.“
“is it because she’s skinner than me? is it because i’m.. i’m fat?” you shake your head with watery eyes and you climb off his lap.
he watches as you leave to the kitchen. “baby,” he chases after you. “it is absolutely not because of your weight and your size. i’m so sorry. i never knew you felt that way.” he hugs your waist from behind as you pour yourself a glass of water.
“well, now you do. so, i’m done. either you tell her it’s done and for her to leave or i’ll leave.” the threat makes him rush upstairs.
minutes later, josie rushes downstairs. crying. her clothes looking like they were put on in a rush. “don’t contact me ever again, y/n.” she yells before slamming the door shut. “whatever, bitch.” you wash the glass and set it in the drying rack.
“she’s gone.” jaehyun sighs before stepping down the last step. “i’m glad.” you sigh and stalk past him. “look, i’m sorry, babe. please forgive me?” you plop yourself onto the couch.
“forgiven, i guess.” he squats and holds onto your knee. “baby. you know i love you. more than anything.” you reach over for the controller but he snatches it. “just listen to me.” he places the controller by his leg.
“i didn’t know you felt unwanted because of my actions. i’m sorry. i really am. now that you’ve said it. i’ve realized my actions. making you get yourself off without my help. i’m sorry. i love you, baby. i’ll make it up to you.”
“make it up to me, how?” he stands up and yanks you off the couch. “let me show you.” he leads you upstairs to the bedroom and pushes you onto the bed. “gonna make love to you.” he yanks the sweats down and spreads your legs apart.
he leans down and lowers himself onto his knees. he holds your legs apart and plants several kisses onto your inner thighs. “i love you.” he mutters against your thighs.
slowly, you felt him pulling your panties down. “look at this pretty pussy.” he licks his lips and pushes a finger past your lips.
you moan, gasping as grabbing the sheets. he pushes himself up and hovers above your body. his fingers thrusting into your hole as he whispers sweet nothings to you.
“ready for my cock, baby?” you nod, holding his neck. he pulls himself out of his boxers and jerks himself off. “fuck, ‘m so hard for you, baby.” he pushes into you and you cry out.
a hand is slammed by your head as he groans. “fuck,” he groans and pushes his hips more against yours. his base slamming against your pussy as his thrusts become more violent.
“i missed this pussy so much.” he leans down and kisses you. “and i missed this big dick of yours.” you arch your back off the bed and moan as his cock hits a different spot.
the two of your orgasm builds up and finally, the both of you release together. his cum pouring out of your pussy.
he moves himself off the bed and squats right here his face is leveled with your pussy. he leans over until his mouth and connected to your clit.
you moan and grab a fistful of his hair as he sucks your clit. “yes, jae!” you let out several hiccuped gasps. he pulls away and rubs your clit again.
“i love you.” he hovers over you again and kisses your lips. “and i love you.” you sigh with a satisfied grin.
Tumblr media
a/n: based on that couple on PH, mrpussylicking, i recently found them and noticed that they started to invite another girl into their sexual acts which is supposedly the girlfriends best friend. i went back and forth and did a little bit of research and stalking. in most videos, he’s usually fucking the best friend and the girlfriend is usually making herself cum and whatnot. so i decided to write about it because doesn’t she get tired of not getting fucked and her bestie only getting fucked? it isn’t my business nor do i know what they think of the whole three-way thing but i just wrote it as i pictured in my mind.
