MAKE ME 20.2
Word count:12351 (I am so sorry. I should end this chapter here because it might reach 20k words ;;;)
Summary: Jimin has returned after a few years.
Pairing: Jimin x Reader x Jaebum
Themes:ย Angst, fluff, Sin 18+ please, I suck at themes but some parts are not for minors.
You didnโt know exactly what happened. The next thing you knew, you were not embracing Jimin anymore and Jaebumโs attacking Jimin while heโs trying not to fight back. Quickly, you hugged Jaebum from behind just to stop him.
โStop, Jaebum, please,โ you said.
โLet go of me, Y/Nโ he replied, calmly but youโre sure heโs just controlling his temper.
โPlease, letโs just go home, Jaebum!โ heโs strong enough to remove your arms from him and successfully punch Jiminโs face, which falls into a somewhat sitting position on the bushes behind him.
โJaebum, please, can you calm down?โ You said this in a tone you use during difficult negotiations with difficult clients. You were about to approach him when you see several men in suits, followed by you, being taken by someone so swiftly away from the scene.
โLet the hyungs handle this,โ Jungkook calmly replies.
โPut me down Kook,โ you replied.
He did what you asked, but he placed an arm on your waist, and his grip was firm.
โI canโt let you go there, not yet.โ
โItโs my fault Kookie, Iโm so sorryโ tears start to cloud your vision and he began rubbing circles on your shoulder and slowly, he hugged you.
Youโre explaining to him what happened when your phone rang. You told him it was Jaebum and it was time for you to go.
He insisted on walking you back and you agreed because he promised heโll keep a good distance.
When you saw Jaebum leaning on the hood of his car, you ignored him and went straight inside, he followed.
As he drives away, you looked out the window.
Silence fills the night as you pass the place where the commotion happened not even ten minutes ago.
You sighed. The stress, tension, and frustration mixed with your anger towards your boyfriend are now in a form of a migraine.
You closed your eyes for a minute and gently massaged the sides of your forehead.
โWhatโs wrong?โ Jaebum broke the silence at last.
โI donโt know, you tell me.โ You flatly replied, now looking at Jaebum.
He cleared his throat while you just stayed in your position, leaning towards the window.
โCan you explain to me what you just did there?โ, youโre trying your best to keep your temper.
โI just had to do what I need to doโ He replied, his tone cold.
โDo you really need to use violence, Jaebum?โ you asked, again without looking at him.
โBased on what I saw, yes.โ He replied flatly.
You closed your eyes. Heโs starting to get on your nerves.
โI was just saying goodbye to a friend, Jae.โ You explained.
โDoesnโt seem like it,โ he replied.
โWhat does it look like to you then?โ you returned.
โI saw my girlfriend embracing another man. What do you want me to do, applaud?โ He replied bitterly.
โAnd so? Is that how you are supposed to react? You told me you trust me but yet, this happened.โ
โYes, I do trust you, but not those friends around you!โ His tone starts to rise.
โItโs because you donโt know them. Now, how can I introduce you to them?โ You shook your head in disappointment.
Silence.
โJust so you know, before this happened, I was apologizing to him because of the way you acted at the bar prior to this encounter,โ You confessed.
โI donโt understand why youโre acting this way. Youโre not like this,โ You whispered.
You heard him sigh. He stroked his hair to calm himself down.
โWhen I told you, I trust you, I have given you one hundred percent of it,โ thereโs no hint of anger in his words. Itโs more of a serious one.
You just look at him, waiting for whatโs next.
โBut I donโt like what I have seen tonight,โ he dismissed.
โJaeb, heโs an old friend who just came back. Whatโs wrong with that?โ You canโt believe the words that are coming out of you.
You must admit, some words you said sting.
โI donโt know what Iโm gonna do with that temper of yours.โ
He did not respond to your last comment.
As soon as he stopped in front of your house, you get out of the car without even glancing at him and went inside. You didnโt bother fixing your shoes as you took them off and went straight to your room.
You took your jacket off. You removed the makeup off of your face and changed into fresh, and more comfortable clothes. You lay in bed, ready to end the day.
You waited for sleep to come to you but every time you close your eyes, it replays the events earlier. And the what-ifs that followed.
You sighed who knows how many times already. You sat down and decided to grab some warm milk with the agreement with yourself that youโll sleep after.
The security arrived together with Namjoon. After all, he owns the establishment.
โJaebum.โ He called.
โWe had an agreement, right?โ he looked at the other with a poisoned gaze.
โStay the fuck away from my woman.โ He spat.
โSheโs our friend, we canโt just do that,โ Namjoon replied.
โWhy donโt you ask her yourself, I dare ya?โ Taehyung added.
Jaebum stood up and spat on the floor.
โIโm done with all of you for tonight,โ he said while walking away.
The boys helped Jimin to stand up.
โHomeboyโs getting spicy,โ Jungkook broke the silence, making the rest of them sigh.
Yoongi let a chuckle, agreeing with the previous statement.
โWhat has happened, really?โ Jin looked at Jimin as he handed him a pack of frozen peas. They are now in LATE after the commotion happened, so they decided to just hang out at the cafรฉ.
Jimin recalled the scenario before Jaebum appeared.
Taehyung and Jungkook worded an โohโ and then glanced at each other.
โSo, lover boyโs jealous,โ Namjoon commented, hiding a laugh.
โI canโt see why not,โ Jin added.
โY/N, has aged gracefully, and beautifully,โ he continues as he attends to Jimin. Heโs now placing some ointment on where the punch lands.
โAgree.โ Taehyung said.
The others nodded.
โSo, what are we going to do?โ Jungkook changed the subject after agreeing about Jinโs comment.
โWe watch, observe,โ Namjoon responded.
โCan we protect Y/N by just watching?โ Jungkook replied.
โAt this point, given the situation, the safest thing that we could do is to observe.โ Namjoon further explained, now sipping a cup of tea.
โItโs obvious that Y/N doesnโt know who Jaebum truly is, so I agree with what Namjoon here is saying,โ Jin said, patting Jiminโs shoulder as he packed his first aid kit away, disappearing from the view.
โYou okay?โ Taehyung looked in Jiminโs direction, assessing the younger manโs reaction.
He let out that signature smirk whenever something reminds him of you.
โNever better,โ as he leaned further on the chair.
His mind wanders at the thought of you.
The events of yesterday.
That embrace.
After a few pleas and unrealistic negotiations and promises between the five of them versus Jimin, they finally let him have your number.
When he hits the bed, thatโs the time everything starts to engulf him all at once.
The tiring hours of traveling, meeting his least favorite people, but of course, thereโs always the anticipation of seeing his grandmother and his favorite of all,
You.
He couldnโt help it, he wanted to sleep but knowing your number is saved on his phone makes everything difficult.
So, he just sent a few messages knowing that thereโs a great chance that you might not even open the message. But at the same time, he finds himself hoping that youโd read it. Even just read it, it was enough for him.
When he had pressed that send button, that was the time he could finally relax, and at long last, sleep slowly crept into his senses.
You didnโt know which hurts the most: Your head due to lack of sleep, your body because of what happened last night, or your heart, because of what Jaebum did to Jimin or the fact that your mind wanders off to him as you try to calm your boyfriendโs unpredictable temper.
You slowly sit up, still processing what has happened, and how youโd react just in case you bump into anyone from your friends, especially Jimin.
You sighed, slowly shook your head, and slowly walked towards the bathroom to prepare for work.
As you stare at yourself, as much as you donโt want to do it, it seems like sighing is your new breathing. You tried concealing the effects of last night with minimal makeup.
When youโre done preparing, you checked your phone and quickly scanned the notifications.
There are a couple of texts from your friends, some photos, and emails from work. You noticed a couple of messages from an unregistered number, which you opened.
[From: 010xxxxxxxx
I got your number from Taehyung; I was just wondering if you got home safe?
Are you okay?
You donโt have to save my number or reply to me. I just hope youโre okay.
This is Jimin.]
You stared at the last message that was sent, you donโt know how many seconds youโd been doing so when a phone call made you jump, almost dropping your phone.
Your eyes widen as you sent a large heart emoji as a response to Jimin. You were about to delete it when another phone call prevents you from doing so.
It was from work so you have to take it. After a few minutes, you donโt know how you would respond when you saw the seen status of your emoji.
Shit.
Immediately, you contemplated deleting the emoji,
Itโs too late, isnโt it?
Whatever, Iโll do it, I donโt want to imply anything.
You indeed deleted the emoji, and continued typing, explaining, then erasing.
This cycle continued a couple of times until you finally sent a response.
[To 010xxxxxxxx
-sorry for the emoji, I almost dropped my phone
-I am okay, thanks.]
Thereโs a sudden urge for you to ask him if heโs okay. But it was suddenly forgotten when you saw your boyfriendโs name on the caller ID.
You just hit the answer button.
โHello?โ
[Baby? Open up, Iโm outside.]
You just went to the door, opened it and Jaebum is standing outside your gate, with a bouquet, and some paper bags.
You stared at him by the door.
โWhat are those for?โ you respond, still through the call.
He looked flustered. A little frown can be seen on his forehead even though thereโs some distance between the two of you.
โBabe, I just want to check if youโre okay,โ
โI am fine. But I am still not okay with what happened yesterday,โ You responded, your face still blank.
โI am sorry, could we please talk about it?โ he sounds a little pleading.
You sigh.
โI am not in the mood to talk right now. I need to go to work,โ you ended the call there and headed inside again to grab your bag.
He was still outside.
You tried walking past him, but of course, you were blocked.
โLet me just take you to work, please,โ he said.
You checked your watch. Youโll be late if you would not accept his offer so you agreed.
This drive is the quietest one that you had with him. The faint hum of the engine and air conditioning was the only exception. Youโre facing the windowโs side, trying your best not to even glance in his direction.
As agreed, Jaebum dropped you off in front of the building entrance where your office is. Your brain seemed to be floating off of somewhere. You find yourself gazing away. Youโre not daydreaming, itโs just that your mindโs in a haze.
Youโre thankful that the project with the previous client has been launched prior to the incident that happened. If not, it would be a mess.
You half jumped when you felt your phone vibrate from your blazerโs pocket.
โSir? Do you need anything?โ You looked at his office when you found him standing by the door.
โI was supposed to ask you that, Y/N, you look pale, and youโre out of yourself since early this morning. Is there something going on?โ
Hyungwon gestured for you to come to his office and you followed.
โIโm sorry, sirโโ
โTsk, Hyungwon,โ he corrected you.
โHyungwon, Iโm sorry.โ You said apologetically.
โI wonโt press you for details but it looks really heavy, whateverโs bothering you.โ
You looked down as quite embarrassed.
โWhatโs up?โ he asked.
You just gave him an apologetic smile and shook your head.
โI see. Itโs personal, I guess. Thatโs enough explanation. You should get some rest,โ he gave a gentle and assuring smile.
โBut,โ he again interrupted you.
โNo buts, or would you like an indefinite leave of absence?โ he teased.
You sighed in defeat, giving him a quick smile.
โThank you. Iโd prefer to have a half day, sir,โ
โOff you go. Take my car to drop you off straight home,โ he ordered as he presses his speed dial for his driverโs number.
โThereโs no need, I can hail a cab or get an Uber,โ you argued.
He gestured a no, and you find yourself being escorted by your boss towards his car so you could get home safely.
When he returned to his office, he dialed another number.
[What?] greeted by the person he called on the other line.
โWhat did you do to my ever-bright secretary? She looks so glum, and a bit pale. Is she sick?โ he probed.
[Where is she? Iโll pick her up.]
โIt has been taken care of, Jaebum. And yeah, Iโm saying this as a friend, I didnโt even know what happened, she didnโt even say a word when I asked but itโs obvious based on Y/Nโs actions earlier.โ
Thereโs a continuous silence from Jaebumโs line.
โGo easy on Y/N.โ
With that, he ended the call.
You thanked Hyungwonโs driver upon arriving to your house. As you entered the house, you triple-checked the locks and went straight to your bed.
You let your body fall into the soft mattress. Youโre not sleepy, youโre exhausted in all aspects.
Probably that indefinite leave of absence is the better choice.
You let a bitter smile as you fish out your phone from the pocket of your blazer, sending an update to your boss, thanking him and that you safely arrived home.
Next, were updating your friends, and apologizing for what happened last night.
They assured you that everythingโs okay and itโs you theyโre worried about.
Itโs your turn to assure them that youโre fine. Youโre in the middle of typing when a call interrupted it.
Itโs your boyfriend.
To be honest, you felt drained seeing his name popping up on your phone. You just let it ring until it turns into a missed call notification.
You finished what youโre typing and hit the send button. You scrolled now checked the pictures they sent and you smiled a bit seeing them in various poses.
Then your eyes landed on Jimin, who was slightly smiling.
You didnโt know how long youโd been staring at it, then your phone notified you again that your boyfriend is calling.
This time, you answered.
Silence greeted him.
[What are you doing right now?]
โI was sent home early, my boss said weโre done for the day,โ you replied.
[Okay, you get some rest, you might be exhausted from last night.]
โOkay, I will.โ
[Iโll call you later]
โOkay,โ
[I love you]
You let a low โunghโ as a response then you hang up.
This time, you didnโt have anything else to do, so you decided to take some rest and sleep.
If thinking about someone elseโs girlfriend is a punishable crime, Jiminโs probably locked in jail somewhere right now. His thoughts went straight to you as soon as consciousness broke his sleep.
Then he remembered he texted you.
Thatโs a dream, isnโt it?
He stared at the ceiling for a solid minute and grabbed his phone.
He let a satisfied yet heavy sigh upon seeing the confirmation that sending you a text message wasnโt a dream.
He slowly ticked your name and to his surprise, you have read it.
A smile crept on his face.
Is it selfish if heโll ask for a response? Last night, he was contented with you reading it. But now, heโs hoping for a response coming from you.
He stared at the status for a few seconds when he noticed three dots moving.
Fucking shit, this couldnโt be real, youโre actually typing.
He let out a chuckle as he saw the response.
Of all the responses heโs thinking of, heโs more than satisfied with what he received.
A large heart emoji isnโt so bad.
He didnโt know how long he was staring at that digital heart when it suddenly disappeared.
Then came your response in word form.
He preferred the first one though.
So, to tease you a bit, he sent the exact heart emoji and decided to start his day.
It has just been a few days since his return, he wasnโt that really present during several welcome parties that were arranged for him. Most specifically the ones that his girlfriend had organized. He doesnโt feel the sincerity of the people around there. Itโs mostly for building connections or business-related. Sometimes, or rather most of the time, itโs like a meeting for your girlfriend to brag about what you have achieved, telling everybody how supportive of a girlfriend she is.
He decided to meet his grandmother during lunch. It was quiet, the relaxing type of quiet until she let cleared her throat.
He knows she wanted to ask him something.
And he believes itโs about you.
โSoโฆโ she said then sips a little bit of tea, a move that you have observed whenever she is composing a question that sheโs been itching to ask without crossing any boundaries.
He raised his head, looking in the old ladyโs direction.
โHm?โ He replied.
โHow are you and your girlfriend?โ sheโs really careful with her words.
โFine,โ he responded, with a lack of a better term to describe his relationship.
โHmm, thatโs great. Have you attended any of her welcome parties?โ
Jimin shook his head as if he wasnโt aware.
โDear, sheโs been bugging me since your return.โ She said flatly.
He let out a sigh, he has to deal with her and her actions yet again at some point, and this is the โagainโ part.
โIโll call her, sorry Gram,โ he said.
The old lady just gave a nod. And they continued to finish their meal.
Jimin stayed for a few more hours when he received a message from Taehyung.
The sun was about to set when you woke up. You recalled the events this morning and tried processing them in your head. You grabbed your phone and checked for messages.
Well, youโre hoping for a message from a specific person.
You slowly scrolled on the notifications when your heart skipped a beat.
There it is.
You bite your lower lip, should you open it? Or shouldnโt?
Of course, your urge to open it wins.
Your eyebrows raised at the response.
It was the exact emoji you mistakenly sent.
Then a few flashbacks sent your head into memory lane.
You smiled bitterly when you remembered how Jimin annoys you with his remarks.
You sighed after, pressing the back button of your phone, exiting the conversation you had with him.
Again, the urge to ask him is bugging you.
Instead of asking him directly, you messaged the boys.
[To: Taehyung; Kookie
Howโs Jimin?]ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย
Your phone received quick replies as if they were expecting youโd do what youโd done.
[From: Kookie
Heโs got some stitches]
[From: Taehyung
Got pretty beaten up]
Your breathing automatically stopped when you saw Taehyungโs message.
Youโre still contemplating if youโre gonna reply with a text or a phone call.ย You chose the latter.
โHow bad is it, Tae?โ
[Uhm, he got bruised and he needs to be sewn,โ] he really sounded serious.
โWhat? As far as I could remember, he can defend himself,โ you replied, a tall wave of guilt engulfing you.
[Yeah, he can even fight back but he didnโt. He just took all of the blow. He doesnโt want to make the scene worse.]
Youโre biting your lower lip as he spills the details. Your head is torn on whether youโll call Jimin after this one or ask Taehyung to accompany you to meet him just to check if heโs really okay.
You sighed.
[Y/N? is there something wrong?]
โWell, no. I am fine. Iโm just worried you know,โ you replied, not knowing what to do.
โHow many stitches and where?โ you added.
You were not sure if you heard a slight chuckle or a cough on the other line.
[Oh, Y/N, if youโre that concerned about him, you can actually ask him, Like, directly.]
โWha---โ you heard the notification that someone joined your conversation and itโs now a conference.
You removed your phone from your ears and you frowned at an unregistered number that just made your call a conference. You pressed the loudspeaker and you almost jumped when you heard the voice coming from the unregistered number.
[What is this all about, Tae?]
Itโs Jimin.
[Well, someone was asking about you so I invited you to join us.] Taehyung replied.
You canโt wait to see Taehyung; youโll make sure to give him a beating.
โUmmm,โ you started.
[WhoโY/N?] Jimin asked.
โUh-yeah, hi.โ You replied, almost face palming.
What the hell is wrong with you?
[You were asking something about me?]
โUmm, yeah, yeah, I was just asking if youโre okay. I am really, really sorry about what happened,โ you tried to be as sincere as possible, hoping that heโll feel it even through the phone.
[Well, got a few bruises here and there, got me some stitches too, but to answer your question, I am fine.]
You donโt know whatโs going on with your heart, but your head is saying something to you. You felt so guilty.
โGod, I am so sorry Jimin, um, you can send me the bill? Iโll pay.โ You said in lack of any other appropriate response that your brain can process as of the moment.
You heard him chuckle, which for some reason made you feel things.
[Donโt worry about it, please. I got it covered. Thank you for asking, really. I appreciate it. I have to go now. I have something to do. Tae?]
[Yeah? Still here.]
[Gotta go. Iโll leave Y/N to you.]
You heard the notification of someone exiting the conference call. You stared at your phoneโs screen once again.
[Y/N?]
โTae?โ
[No offense, you sound like a teenager talking for the first time to her crush earlier.] you heard him laugh after.
You buried your face in your hand as if someone was watching you all this time.
โI swear, I am going to beat you up when is see you!โ
He kept on imitating you then when it died down, you said your goodbyes.
You noticed that Jimin sent another message.
[From: 0910xxxxxxx
-thanks for checking up on me, I appreciate it. I am fine.
-donโt worry too much. And I didnโt get any stitches. ๐ ]
You slightly smiled at his message and this time, you sent a smiling emoji.
You were watching TV when Sejeong returned. You greeted each other when she spoke.
By the way Y/N-nie, I just got a weird text message from the landlord. Heโs thanking us for choosing this place to live in and that we donโt need to wire him payments anymore,โ she announced.
Your head quickly looked in her direction and looked at your own phone. Indeed, thereโs a message from your former landlord. You showed her the text and she nods, confirming the message.
โThatโs weird, what does that mean?โ You asked, still looking at the message.
โShould we call him?โ Sejeong suggested.
โI think we should ask him for a meeting.โ You replied.
Sejeong nodded and went to her room to get changed while you typed a response to the message from the landlord. He agreed to meet you tomorrow afternoon.
You bonded with Sejeong over a movie and when it ended, you called it a night. You reminded her about the meeting and she nods.
You were ready to go to work when you noticed Jaebumโs car again outside. You sighed, trying to compose yourself, promising also that youโll be calm. You watch him get out of the car, now leaning on the passengerโs side while scrolling on his phone. You watched him a few seconds more and decided to step outside.
After youโve secured the house, he approached you.
โBaby,โ he whispered.
โYeah?โ you replied.
โCan I take you to breakfast and then to work, please?โ His tone is soft.
You pouted, weighing what he said.
โAll right, letโs go,โ you replied with a little smile.
He sighed in relief. He looked happy.
As he started to drive, you now scroll on your phone, replying to some queries and e-mails.
He took you to your usual go-to place when you wanted to eat breakfast. He asked about your schedule that day and he mentioned his.
You told him whatโs on your schedule except the meeting with the landlord.
โCan I pick you up after work? I have something important to tell you.โ His tone is more of an order than a question, his expression is unreadable as he sips his coffee while looking at you.
You looked at him as you slowly placed your phone screen down. โSure,โ then you gave him a small smile.
After that breakfast, he dropped you at work, you just gave him a peck on the cheek and entered the building.
You studied the papers that were on your desk and segregated them into different piles. When youโre done, you announced your presence by knocking and when you heard Hyugwonโs acknowledgment, you entered.
โGood morning,โ he smiled at you.
โGood morning, here are some proposals, these are some budget releases, and this is for the upcoming convention, they want us to send an RSVP if weโll be attending.
โHmm, thank you, thank you.โ He reached for the clipboards and placed them on his side as he scans one of them. You were about to leave when he spoke.
โHow are you feeling right now?โ
You looked at him as if he was asking you a difficult question.
โI am fine, donโt worry.โ You assured him.
โOkay, Iโll take your word for it,โ he smiled.
You smiled back at him and went back to your desk. You did your tasks as usual and then asked permission to be out of the office for a personal errand.
You met Sejeong at the nearest bus station and went to meet the previous landlord.
As the landlord explained to you, he revealed that the house youโre living in right now was bought and the transfer of ownership is already in the works. It wasnโt a secret to you and Sejeong that the house was up for sale a few years back but the previous owner is very picky and had a fixed price before he let the property go. He was quite proud of his achievement, saying that he received more than enough to purchase his own retirement house outside the city, which was his plan for quite some time now.
He assured you that you wonโt be kicked out by the new owner, and was kind enough to let you live there for free.
You kept on pressing for any information on the said buyer but the landlord is very good at diverting the question by opening different topics. You felt defeated and stopped prying anymore. He ended your meeting by thanking both you and Sejeong for staying that long in that old apartment. You thanked him as well for not raising the rent.
You and Sejeong parted ways to return to your own jobs when Hyungwon called you.
[Oh Y/N, I just got a call. Because you made a great impression with LA Motors]
โYeah?โ
[Be prepared. We are going to a meeting for a very big company, we just got an invite for a concept reveal for an ad campaign. Who knows, we might come up with a great story for the ad, right?]
โThatโs great news! Which company is this?โ
[Park Group.]
You suddenly stopped in your tracks.
Did you hear it correctly or your head is playing tricks on you?
[Y/N?]
โYeah? Okay, right, Park Group. Got it.โ
[We can do this!]
โYeah! See you later.โ
He ended the call there.
When you returned to the office, your head is somewhere else, and you just pretend to do small tasks. You donโt know whatโs going on but of all the advertising companies out there, what kind of weird coincidence happened that a big group wanted you to do something for them?
Itโs not just big, itโs Park Group.
Which is owned by Jiminโs family.
You were pulled back to reality by a snap of a finger.
โI shouldโve placed you on indefinite leave,โ Hyungwon commented as he loosened his necktie.
You gave him an apologetic smile.
โGet some rest, I know youโre still tired. Itโs nearly the end of your shift anyways,โ he continued.
โButโโ
โPlease, Y/N, do as you were told.โ The concern is evident in his tone.
โOkay, I really appreciate this, Hyungwon.โ You said as you place the strap of your bag on your shoulder.
โTake care, Iโll contact you when needed,โ he smiled.
Before you leave, you told Jaebum where you will be staying while you wait for him.
You decided to stroll at the mall. Thereโs a newly opened shop that sells different household items. As you enter the shop, several store clerks greeted you which you politely returned.
โFancy seeing you here,โ the familiar voice came behind you.
You quickly turned around, seeing Jimin.
โDitto,โ you replied for lack of a better response.
He let out a small smile, the bruise on his right lip is evident.
Your gaze was fixed on his bruise, fighting the urge to reach for his face. You were taken back to reality when he cleared his throat.
Your eyes now landed on his, itโs the same sparkling ones that you remember.
โIt looks painful, Iโm really, really sorry.โ You blurted.
He placed his thumb on the bruise and smiled a little.
โYeah, no. donโt worry about it,โ he assured.
โWould you get some coffee?โ he continued.
You were quite surprised when you heard his invitation. Your head is now having a battle with whether to take it or not due to recent events.
โLetโs consider it as compensation for what happened,โ he said.
โUm, okay, I guess.โ You just replied.
He showed you a sincere smile, a wide one this time.
You donโt know whatโs going on with you but another wave of nostalgia hits you as you witnessed that smile of his.
He started walking towards the nearest cafรฉ and you followed.
When youโre settled, he went to order.
โI ordered mocha for you, is that okay?โ he said as he placed the tray on the table.
โYes,โ you replied with a little smile on your lips.
Silence now envelopes you as you began sipping the coffee.
Your mind wanders to other what-ifs.
What if youโre still together after all these years? Then youโre casually dating right now?
Your chest began to tighten as your head feed you with different scenarios.
Then your phone vibrated.
Itโs your signal to leave.
โI have to go,โ you told him.
โOh, okay, sure. Should I walk you out?โ
โOh, no, itโs not necessary,โ you replied fast, thinking about the possibilities that might occur.
โAll right, see you around then,โ he responded cooly.
Your attention changed when you heard some noise outside.
โOops, time for me to leave,โ he said but before he does, he moved closer to you, enough for your skin to feel his breath on your ear.
โYou owe me one more coffee date, Y/N,โ he said as he walked past you.
You stood there as if you became frozen by the warmth of his breath and his voice. You just move when you felt your phone vibrates again. ย You let a small crowd pass and went outside to meet your boyfriend.
Jaebum was driving when he received a phone call.
โWhat?โ he replied while he turns.
[Check my message]
The call ended there.
He stopped for a bit and pressed the message.
A picture was attached to it and it revealed you, sitting with Jimin in the coffee shop.
A rush of blood came into Jaebumโs senses.
Then, another message appeared, coming from the caller.
[-donโt blame your girlfriend, they just bumped into each other.]
He sped up while pressing some buttons to call you, announcing his arrival.
[From: Taehyung
Accept my invitation. No questions.]
He frowned but still did what he was told.
He didnโt hear anything aside from a faint clacking of the keyboard so he spoke.
โWhat is this all about Tae?โ He thought it was some kind of another trick they want to pull just to tease him.
[Well, someone was asking about you so I invited you to join us.] Taehyung said. Another faint clack of the keyboard fills the silence.
He looked at his screen and it shows the members of the conference.
His stared at your name.
And there it is, the voice that he was longing to hear for a very long time.
Upon hearing your voice, he closed his eyes, doing his best to control the bubbling excitement inside him.
He was more than happy when you asked how heโs been.
The bruise is totally worth it.ย
As much as he wants to talk to you, even for a little bit more, he couldnโt. A notification of an incoming call from his father has been showing on his screen.
He just sent a few messages for your assurance.
He left the conversation with the thoughts of you in his head.
You were patiently waiting when you saw Jaebumโs familiar car.
You walked close to it and entered swiftly.
You smiled a little at him when he cleared his throat.
โHad coffee before we met?โ he started.
A shiver ran through your spine.
How did he know?
โYeah, I bumped into a friend while I was looking at the newly opened shop,โ you said casually.
โHmm, and whose friend is this?โ
You looked at him and sighed in response, then looked in the opposite direction.
Whether you answer or not, the outcome will be sour. The tension in the atmosphere is evident.
The car slowly halted. He pressed the hazard button.
โI asked a question,โ his annoyance is evident.
Again, you let out a sigh.
He removed his phone from the holder and pressed a few buttons.
โCare to explain what this is? He said as he almost threw the phone in your direction which landed on your lap.
You turned the phone so the screen is facing you.
You became nervous as you saw a snapshot of you and Jimin in the coffee shop.
โA picture paints a thousand words, Y/N. What is this?โ he now started to drive again.
โAs I have said, I bumped into a friend,โ you replied firmly.
Thereโs no need for you to lie. And thereโs nothing to lie about anyway.
โReally? It doesnโt look like it!โ snapped.
You jumped a bit and looked in his direction.
โWhat do you want me to say, a lie? Thatโs all there is to it. I will not repeat myself again,โ youโre getting annoyed.
He sighed this time.
โStarting today, youโll move in with me, in my house.โ He announced.
You frowned at his last words and when he glanced at you, again, he cleared his throat to speak.
โItโs not the right time to joke Jaebum,โ your patience is getting shorter.
โDo you think this is all a joke?โ his tone laced with annoyance.
โWhat I mean is, you donโt have to worry about your best friend anymore, that house is mine now. She can live there without paying the rent as long as she wants,โ he said as he drove.
You processed what he just said and when you think you fully understood what it is, you replied.
โWhat are you talking about?โ you frowned, resting your gaze on him but all of his attention was on the road.
You let out a sigh. ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย
He glanced at you, showing his disbelief.
Again, silence.
ย At this point, you donโt care which house heโd take you to. His or yours. You just want to end this day.
As your intuitionโs correct, he chose to bring you to his.
You immediately texted Sejeong not to wait for you and where youโre heading at the moment.
When you finally reached his house and parked his car, you immediately got out of the house and went straight to the kitchen to grab some water.
You heard him enter the house and lock the door. You headed to the guest room where you usually sleep but Jaebum caught up with you quickly.
โWe need to talk,โ he said as he blocked the door towards your room.
โIt seems like youโre not ready to talk about anything right now. Letโs talk when youโre ready,โ you tried passing him so you can have better access to your room when he suddenly pinned you against the wall, and his lips started crushing into yours.
You tried pushing him but he even adjusted his body to cage you. You felt his tongue asking for access but you denied him, you tried pushing him gently but he insists. Instead, he pressed his body more to yours.
โJaeb, please โ โ
He didnโt stop as heโs now kissing your neck.
โJaebum, noโโ you protested, but he suddenly scooped you and carried you away from your room.
He took you to his, slowly placing you in his bed, but aggressively climbed on top of you,
โJaeb,โ it let out as a whisper.
He kissed you again. This time, itโs the kind of kiss that you recognize โ the slow, and gentle one that he always does.
Youโre in no way in the mood to do any of this, especially with the way he behaved earlier. But heโs way stronger than you right now, despite your protests.
His lips parted from yours and started going down to your neck, then to the exposed parts of your chest.
โJaebumโ you tried pushing him away from you but instead, he tore your blouse, making the buttons pop out, exposing some more skin, and your bra.
He kissed you again.
This time, you responded to his advances, making him create sounds that you never heard before.
You feel his body become warmer too.
But while you kissed him, your mind wanders to a different person.
You tried gaining the upper hand by being on top of him, but he refused.
โShit, baby,โ he replied while panting, looking at your eyes, to your chest. His dark expression changed when he looked at you again.
You looked at him dead in the eyes.
โIs this what you want?โ you asked while tears flow from your eyes.
โY/Nโฆโ he was shocked as if he was a totally different person from before, and the Jaebum you knew came back.
You tried covering yourself with the rest of your clothes but still, you felt bare.
โI-Iโm so sorry, I justโIโm so sorry,โ he removed his shirt and put it on you, which you immediately wear, the warmth from the heated moment just a few seconds ago lingers on the soft fabric yet, you shivered.
โBaby,โ he whispered.
You didnโt respond, but instead, you slowly curled into one side of the bed as you continued to cry. You heard him curse as he walked out of the room, gently closing the door behind him.
It was already dark when you woke up, you fell asleep while you cried. You feel heavy and at the same time, nothing. As if some unknown force weighs your heart. You slowly crept towards the kitchen when you saw Jaebum coming from the living room.
โBabe,โ he whispered, as he stopped in the middle of his tracks.
You just looked at him, not knowing what youโd say. You walked past him, reaching for the fridgeโs door and grabbed a bottle of water.
โBaby please, letโs talk.โ He said, his voice pleading.
You slowly gulped the remaining water and nod.
He guided you to the living room and let you sit on the plush couch, there was a noticeable distance between you.
โIโm waiting.โ
โI mentioned that Iโm gonna tell you something important, right?โ he recalled.
You slowly nod.
โYou told me that youโre worried if you move in with me, your best friend would have a hard time paying the rent so I took care of it,โ he continued.
You frowned but leaned closer.
โYeah, can you be more straight to the point?โ you replied.
โI bought the apartment already so itโs mine now,โ he revealed.
โIt means itโs now up to me if Iโll ask for rent but, knowing itโs your best friend that lives there, she doesnโt need to.โ He explained it so fast, you squint at his words.
โWhen and how did you get that property?โ
โYesterday before I pick you up. I bought it from the owner of course,โ he replied with a proud tone.
You sighed.
โThatโs not just some piece of cake. Itโs a property, I donโt doubt you and your capabilities but where did you get the money from?โ you sound concerned this time.
โI have some savings from my previous work and other jobs before, baby I donโt want to argue about this.โ
โI donโt want to argue either. Iโm just concerned that you might be putting yourself in some tight situation just because...โ you stop before you drop the word.
โNo, I am not, Y/N, trust me. Everythingโs taken care of,โ he said.
โAre you sure?โ you searched for his eyes.
This time, he moved closer to reach your hands.
โYes, baby, I am more than sure. Trust me on this?โ he responded.
You sighed, but nods, giving him a small smile.
โAbout what happened earlier,โ he continued as he now scooted closer to you, your knees touching his thigh.
โI am sorry, for what has happened Y/N, I really am.โ He whispered.
Thereโs nothing but sincerity and regret on his words, knowing him for more than two years now, youโre still getting surprised as to what kind of a man he really is. From being quite possessive to being very jealous, his actions earlier it was all new. The Jaebum you knew is sweet, thoughtful, shy, and considerate.
โCan I hug you?โ
You nodded.
He took your reaction as an affirmation, so he slowly wrapped his arms around your waist, his chin lightly resting on your shoulder. You welcomed his frame by opening your arms and placing them on his shoulders.
Then again, your head wanders off, a thought that might be very illegal.
Wouldnโt it be cute if Jimin would react like that?
You closed your eyes, shutting your thoughts.
โI just canโt contain what I feel for you, I know itโs wrong, baby, I shouldโve asked for your consent, I feel disgusted, I am sorry.โ You heard his voice crack.
Youโre surprised, and a gush of warmth enveloped your emotions.
You caressed his cheek, just in time to catch a couple of tears.
โItโs okay,โ were the only words you can respond to what he said. You wrapped your arms at the back of his neck, giving him a hug.
โIโm really sorry, please forgive me,โ
โApology accepted,โ you replied.
โI love you, Y/N,โ
Your heart ached and stopped at the same time upon hearing his confession, you gasped for air.
Youโre trying to respond, but your head is screaming, but still, you responded.
ย โI love you too,โ you muttered.
He slowly pulled away, searching for your eyes. When your gaze finally met, you knew, he was asking for permission.
You nod.
With that, he slowly kissed you, the type of kiss that wants to apologize, to make up for mistakes that have ever been made to you.
You give in, you give into the warmth heโs giving you.
You slowly kissed him back, and as you respond, he begins to let out some sounds again, you can feel his body getting warmer.
The gentle kiss is now getting messy, as his tongue asks for entrance to yours, and you let him.
He now adjusted his position by letting you sit on his lap.
Itโs your turn to let out a faint moan, his taste is a mixture of mint and strawberry, probably he used one of your ChapSticks.
He slowly pulled away, both of you are panting, he looked at you, and you gave him a faint smile. He wiped your face and kissed your forehead.
โSleep with me?โ he said between pants.
โOkay,โ you replied.
He didnโt let go of you but instead, he carried you toward his room.
He slowly put you on top of his bed and hovers over you.
His eyes didnโt leave yours until your lips were just a breath away. With one glance at your eyes once again, he kissed you.
The kiss was slow as if it was asking for assurance. You responded eventually. He quickens the pace, making him utter a moan.
He was panting when he pulled away, his gaze became dark.
You donโt know why panic starts to rise in your senses.
He leaned closer once again and kissed your forehead.
โNow can you move in with me? No more rent to think about for your best friend, baby.โ Heโs almost pleading.
โIโll think about it, okay?โ you whispered.
โAll right.โ He said and moved to the side so you can lie down properly.
You hummed in response and dozed off.
You felt a limb on your waist. Slowly, you removed Jaebumโs arm that wrapped around you and stared at him for a little bit.
Itโs still a big question as to how did he manage to have a lot of money.
you get out of bed, made yourself presentable, and made breakfast for him. You left a note for him saying you went home already.ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย
When you came home, Sejeong just got up, still with messy hair and closed eyes.
When she looked at you, her eyes became wide.
โAre you wearing Jaebumโs shirt? Donโt tell me...โ
You rolled your eyes at her.
โYou just woke up and you already have dirty thoughts in your head? Stop reading too many steamy novels on the internet,โ you replied.
โBut youโre wearing your boyfriendโs shirt!โ she teased.
You told her what happened last night and what led to you, wearing your boyfriendโs shirt. She bit her lip. And apologized. You accepted it right away.
You donโt feel like cooking right now so you prepared some cereals as your breakfast.
Youโre in a daze as you recall the very first time you and Jaebum met.
It was one of the fancy masquerade balls that different companies agreed to be a part of. You were still under Namjoonโs company at that time.
You found each other โhidingโ from the festivities and socialization and started talking with one another. According to him, he was a junior manager for HR in a hotel thatโs under one of the major companies that were invited that night. You found each other has some things in common. That meeting ended with the two of you exchanging numbers. From there, he invites you for coffee, some visits to different museums, and finally asks permission to court you. This lasted for more than a year until you told your friends that you now have someone special after these years. They were more than happy with your announcement and they were willing to meet him and get to know him. But every time you try to invite Jaebum to go with your friends, he will always be in the middle of something very important or he is just busy.
After a lot of tries, you let go of the thought of seeing your dearest friends together with your boyfriend enjoying the company of each other on a Friday night.
Heโs sweet, thoughtful, and caring. Usually, heโs quiet when heโs with you, most of the time, heโs reading a book or youโre enjoying movies in comfortable silence. He surprises you in a cute way and takes you to different places. He would ask for some kisses that turn into make-outs. Nothing beyond that.
Thatโs how you lasted until now.
Not until these recent events occur.
Itโs really evident that he became possessive recently.
Does it have something to do with Jiminโs return?
But you didnโt mention anything about Jimin being your ex.
You dismissed the thought as it made you recall the events of last night.
Jaebumโs mind was a mess as well.
What was he thinking?
His calm and collected manner around you crumbled at the sight of seeing you, hugging someone else.
But it wasnโt just a โsomeoneโ, it was actually the man he hated the most.
A realization struck him,
is he jealous?
Is he actually, really, jealous? He contemplated the thought. He kept on denying that he is.
If heโs not jealous, why did he punch Jimin?
He let a sigh, recalling the events of the previous night some more.
When he asked for your permission if he could embrace you. He was surprised when you let him.
Again, this is the first time he felt something different. Something light, he felt that he needed to apologize for what happened and explain himself.
Even he was surprised at the words that came from his mouth.
And fuck? He even cried.
When you whispered that โI love you tooโ to him, thatโs when he lost it, the battle between distancing himself versus touching you more has made him lose control.
What the actual fuck is going on with him?
When you accepted his kisses, both the gentle and the passionate ones, it made his system crazy, good thing, he still has this sense of self-control.
Then, he recalled what he regretted the most.
How he tries to push himself on you.
Of all the experiences that he had with women, itโs not the first time he had done it, but the responses that he got from those women were different from yours.
Wait, he actually wanted to take it further? With you?
ย That was the first time, and it made him regret it.
Seeing you cry was the worst.
He wanted to punch himself.
He was actually expecting youโd be gone before he woke up and indeed, you were.
He got ready and all, and a small smile was formed upon seeing the breakfast you prepared for him.
He stayed in his office basement checking some emails on his computer and he frowned as he read one of the recent ones.
He immediately dialed Hyungwonโs number
โWhat the actual fuck am I seeing on my email?โ His annoyance evident to whoeverโs on the other line.
[Which one? Ah, so youโve read it then] Hyungwonโs voice reverberated through the speaker of his phone.
โWhat are you trying to accomplish here, Hyungwon?โ Jaebum replied.
[What else? Money. I am doing business here.] He replied nonchalantly.
โI am gonna keep a closer eye on whatโs going on.โ His tone is firm.
[Suit yourself] the call ended there.
โAh, shit,โ he kicked the desk near him, making some papers fall.ย
He couldnโt explain what was going on with him. He tried to get his mind off of you by burying himself in work and checking other papers he might oversee. He noticed that the sun has almost set.
He stared at the email again he received that was forwarded by Hyungwon related to Park Group. He picked up his blazer and exited his office.
Jimin sighed after he had a talk with his father. He got an earful about how he hasnโt met his girlfriend since his return.
He explained that he has deadlines to meet and he prioritizes his work before anything else.
His father is not buying his excuses thatโs why he ordered him to take his girlfriend out.
His head wanders to you.
This wouldnโt feel like a chore if it is you.
If youโre still his girlfriend.
He paced back and forth for quite some time. Not long after that, he bid his goodbye with his grandmother.
His day was so productive just because he heard your voice. Taehyung couldnโt stop teasing you whenever he could. Then when the news reached others, they always add something just to tease you even more.
He was about to meet his girlfriend when he entered a newly opened shop. He planned on picking up anything with glitter to give to his girlfriend when he noticed a familiar frame.
That frame never left his mind even for once.
Indeed, it was you. He was grinning but composed himself as he approached you.
He was more than glad when you agreed to have coffee with him. And a sense of nostalgia hit him.
You still like mocha.
What if you were still together? And this is one of the dates that youโre having just to make it up with each other after all those years of being apart from one another?
He didnโt know how he managed to swallow the hot liquid from his cup that quick.
Reality hits when you announced it is time for you to go.
Upon hearing the commotion outside, he knows itโs his cue for him to leave as well but he couldnโt resist the temptation of being close to you again.
So, he whispered whatever to your ear and left.
Youโre in the middle of watching a random movie when your phone notified you of a call.
[Baby? I am outside]
โHmm?โ you answered as you peeked through the curtains and true enough, he was there.
You opened the door and let him in, guiding him toward the living room.
When took off his coat, and made himself comfortable. He plopped the spot beside him as he looks at you and you did.
He enveloped his arm around you so you can be closer.
You leaned on his chest, his chin now resting on your head a little.
โHowโs your work?โ you asked.
โAs usual, boring.โ He replied.
He shared a few things and you listen attentively.
He invited you to go out for dinner and agreed.
He brought you to one of your favorite restaurants. He was very sweet and made sure he took care of you.
You strolled after some time when he held your hand.
โY/N, letโs get you home,โ he announced, matching your pace. ย
โOkay,โ you replied. And the two of you walked towards his car.
The drive was very nice, he just held your hands until you reached the apartment.
You grabbed your keys and opened the door while he followed suit.
You pushed the door further to welcome him and faced him.
โWell, welcome, you can check out the house if you like.โ You invited him.
He let a nod and welcomed himself in.
He looked around, and asked for permission to peek at the closed doors.
Instead, you pointed him whatโs what but you let the bathroom and Sejeongโs room untouched.ย
โCan I see your room?โ he stated.
โHmmโฆ okay. Itโs nothing much, really,โ you said as if it was a warning.
You guided him to the furthest door to the right side of the house and opened the lights.
โHere it is,โ you let him peek.
He nods and moved back so you could close the door again.
You offered him something to drink but he declined since it was getting late.
You bid him goodbye while you freshen up yourself so you could check whatโs on the TV at this hour.
You were mindlessly channel surfing when you landed on a movie that was familiar to you. You made it as white noise when you open your phone to check for notifications.
[From: Taehyung
Y/Nieeee!!!!!]
[From Jungkook:
Are you hiding something from us? :P]
You frowned upon seeing these messages and you replied with a question mark. The response was an invitation from Taehyung to video chat.
โHi, what are you talking about?โ
[Hang on, letโs invite Kook] he seems to press several buttons and after a few seconds, Jungkook appeared.
[Iโm overseas, business.] he announced as he showed you the city lights from his hotel window.
โNice view,โ you commented.
[Y/N!]
โYes, Tae?โ you looked at your lens.
[I want to sulk youโre not telling us something] he pouted.
You frowned.
[You had coffee with Jimin hyung didnโt you?] He replied
You almost laughed when you saw Jungkook turned his camera from the view towards his face.
[It might be a date?] Jungkook added.
โGuys, relax,โ you recalled what happened and when youโre done explaining, you felt a little tug in your chest as you witness their disappointed faces.
[Well, okay, itโs still good to have a chat with you. See you next weekend!] Taehyung smiled.
โYeah, you owe something,โ you smiled.
[Iโll be present, donโt worry!] Jungkook replied.
You three bid your goodbyes when Taehyung followed up a message.
[From: Taehyung
Just in case youโre wondering how I know about it :D
Photo_145
-do not disclose to Jimin hyung, or to anyone. He just shared it with us boys]
As the picture loaded, it made you feel something.
It was a picture of your hands, holding the cup of coffee.
You let out a heavy sigh and turned off the TV.
You were all over the place, from different department head meetings to team engagements, and other businessโrelated things,
it has been almost a month since Hyungwon told you about the possible project with Park Group and you almost forgot about it. You donโt know why are you feeling so damn fidgety when youโre not the one who would be presenting, and the possibility of seeing Jimin is minimal since this is with the Marketing Department.
You were busy replying to Sejeong when Hyungwon called your attention.
โWe are here to support our Marketing Team, you ready?โ he asked with a smile and you nod in response.
You are welcomed by several members of the Marketing Team of Park Group. This is the first time youโd be stepping into Jiminโs company and you felt shivers down your spine.
Your eyes scanned every corner that they can reach while you are listening to the ones thatโs showing you the places youโre passing.
When you arrived on the designated floor, you calmed yourself.
You sat beside the designated seat for Hyungwon as you prepare your laptop. Your companyโs representative greeted you and you gave them some pep talk.
Other advertising companies came after yours and when it was about time for the discussion, you started focusing.
After a couple of hours, the presentations of each companies concluded. Itโs time for you to leave.
As you were nearing the entrance, a few suited men were walking in between someone and it caught your attention since the people from the information were standing to greet whoever it is.
You lightly gasped as you spotted who it is.
Jimin.
He gave this leaderlike aura and nodded at his employees. He was walking straight towards the elevators and you realized that he was not alone.
Behind him is a woman whose long, light-colored hair was styled with curls in the middle up to the ends.
You saw her profile and you could not be mistaken.
Itโs Sana.
You donโt know whatโs going on with you, as if the air was cut off by something, and your eyes burned, you almost instantly looked away and walked faster than before.
You wanted to dash towards the car.
You let a sigh of relief when you finally entered the car.
โBased from the feedback we had earlier, I believe we have a good chance in securing thisโAre you okay, Y/N? You look like a ghost,โ Hyungwon commented.
โYeah, yeah I am fine donโt worry,โ you smiled.
โAre you sure?โ
โYes,โ you assured him.
โRest. We have a lot of things to do starting today,โ He nods at the driver and decided to drop you home first.
You find yourself standing in front of your gate.
You recalled what did you just see.
โItโs so hot, why are you standing there?!โ Sejeong broke your wandering thoughts.
It was one of the rarest days when you find her home on a weekday. Sheโs on the night shift. She guided you inside, let you sit down. She disappeared to the kitchen.
โLemme guess..โ she said as she placed food on the center table.
โItโs either your past or your present.โ She continued.
โPast,โ you replied.
She let out a small sigh.
You told her what you saw. She was quiet.ย
โWhat if it was for business? Donโt think about it too much, Y/N,โ she tries to make you feel better as she pushed a slice of kimbap on you and you accepted it.
โStop.thinking.โ she ordered.
โYou know what? Rest. Or maybe take a nap or watch whatever. Donโt dwell on those what-ifs in your head,โ she pulled you slightly and guided you to your room.
You just followed what your best friend had told you. You changed into comfier clothes but you find yourself writing a letter once again.
As you sealed it, you pulled the bottom-most drawer and placed it on the box and locked it.
You just let the day pass and just like the usual weekends, A call from Taehyung inviting you to eat out was gladly accepted.
You were surprised when Jungkook was the one whoโs waiting for you at the bus stop.
โWelcome back, Kookie!โ you greeted as you hugged him.
โThank you, just landed a few hours ago,โ he shared.
The two of you shared some stories about work and him, a little bit of his trip overseas. You were welcomed by the rest of the boys and started to catch up with the others.
You notified Jaebum just for him to be reminded that you have a weekly dinner out.
When it was time for you to change the venue to relax, Namjoon decided to sit beside you.
โI heard from my team that you were in Park Group earlier, Y/N.โ Namjoon said
You nod at him, explaining why.
Then your thoughts were pulled back from what you just saw earlier, but you didnโt dare ask about it.
Namjoon patted your shoulder, wishing your company the best of luck.
You decided to join Jungkook in a song and the boys cheered. It was one of the rarest things you do. This is to distract you from something.
Or for more accuracy, someone.
You were bowing as they clapped when someone entered your room.
โWhat did I miss?โ
โA special performance from Y/N!โ Jin said, with a big smile.
The others praised you and told them they were very honored to hear your voice which blends well with Jungkook.
You returned to your seat, and fished your phone.
Several missed calls and messages.
You sighed.
You excused yourself so you can call Jaebum back.
You told him that youโre going home after a few minutes and he announced that heโs around the area.
You told him which specific bar you are and you agreed to meet him in the entrance.
โGuys, I gotta go,โ
The boys looked at your direction, as if they wanted to ask you to stay but of course, they couldnโt.
โSure, take care,โ Namjoon said as he raised his glass to you.
โIโll walk you out,โ Taehyung said and you agreed.
You were linking arms, his on your shoulders and yours is on his waist as you walk down from the VIP rooms.
You parted when you were approaching the door. You bid him goodbye and exited the establishment.
You were quietly waiting when you heard several female voices.
โI am sure he is here!โ
โLetโs just have a girlโs night out, just the usual.โ Another one said.
โYeah, letโs just enjoy ourselves just like what heโs doing, Sana!โ You suddenly froze as you heard the name.
You stepped back, until you reached what you think is a safe distance and you watched where you think the voices came from.
And there it bore Sana, and based from your memory were Dahyun and Nayeon. They entered the establishment that you just exited.
Great timing, you just saw Jaebumโs car approaching.
You welcomed him with a smile and when you entered the car, he was also smiling back at you.
He looked for your hand and kissed it and he drove away.
โBabe,โ he said as you were approaching the intersection that either will take you to the apartment or to his house.
โWhich house should I take you?โ he inquired, as he slowed down.
โCould you take me home? Iโll just grab some thingsโ you replied.
โYou mean?โ
You nodded at him.
You have been thinking about it for quite some time now. You and Sejeong had more than a couple of talks about this too and sheโs more than supportive of you. She also said this might be the answer to lessen or to make the petty fights disappear. So you decided that todayโs the day that youโll be moving in with him.
ย You reached the apartment in no time. And you let the gates and the door open for Jaebum. He followed you until the living area. When you returned with a travelling bag, he got it from you as you make sure everythingโs secured.
โShall we go home, babe?โ he smiled at you as you get yourself comfortable on the seat beside him.
You nod and a sense of dรฉjร vu hits you.
This scenario happened before.
When you moved in with Jimin.
You brushed the memory as you felt Jaebumโs hand on yours.
The drive to your new home is peaceful.
You got out of the car first and pressed the security code. You felt Jaebum behind you.
You have been in and out of this house numerous times now but this is the first time youโre taking your time observing it.
Lots of whites and grays, even the throw pillows are in those shades.
As usual, you went to the guest room and changed into comfier clothes, them being Jaebumโs shirt and your shorts.
After some time, you heard a soft knock and he invited you out for a drink.
You find him smiling as you approach him, handing you a cup of hot cocoa. He now changed his usual work clothes in a comfier one, which is almost identical as yours, itโs just heโs wearing pajama pants.
You couldnโt help but smile back. You find his smile, this specific smile adorable.
โYou look happy,โ you commented.
โBecause youโre here,โ he replied.
โHmm? Itโs not my first time coming here though,โ you replied.
โYeah, I know. But thereโs something different,โ he replied.
You just gave him a nod and you sat beside him.
โYeah? Whatโs different?โ you tried asking him for more answers.
โYou know, youโre here, and youโre not gonna be in a rush to leave..โ He said as he plopped the space he wants you to sit.
You just giggled at his answer.
He let you choose the movie that interests you. You both agreed to watch a superhero one.
Youโre in the middle of the movie when you feel him move closer.
You let him close the distance by scooting towards him.
โBabyโฆโ he whispered.
You donโt know whatโs with the voice he let out, but it made you feel something.
โHmm?โ you replied as you face him. You just realized how close his face is to yours.
โBaby, can I?โ he looked at your eyes, then at your lips, then back to your eyes.
You turned to his side, which is a signal for him.
Slowly, he kissed you. The kind of kiss thatโs savoring every second.
You tasted the flowery tea that he was drinking as you gave him permission to kiss you deeply.
He holds onto your waist and supported the small of your back while you automatically locked your arms on his neck.
He adjusted himself now, heโs hovering on top of you.
You donโt know whatโs going on but maybe, itโs the liquorโs effects. Or the effects the cocoa after the liquor.
You welcomed him again as he kissed you, his hands rubbing the exposed part of your thighs.
You let out a light moan. Upon hearing it, you saw his expression turned dark.
Which made you feel hot.
He pulled you towards the direction of his room, leaving the TV on.
When youโre inside the confines of his room, he pinned you to the door, kissing you again.
โY/N,โ he said in between his breaths.
You tried searching for his face when he suddenly carried you towards the bed.
He laid you down slowly, he turned on one of his lamps. And hovered above you again.
You waited for his next move, anticipating another kiss, even though you can feel yours throbbing.
As expected, he did kiss you again, you let out a moan as his hands now travels from your thigh towards your torso.
His lips now travelled from your lips to your neck, leaving a burning sensation in each place he planted kisses.
โJaebum..โ you let out a sigh when heโs now on your chest.
โIf we donโt stop now, I wonโt be able to control myself,โ he confessed.
You donโt know what kicks in, the alcohol or cocoa.
You tugged on his shirt.
โI want this off,โ you replied.
In one swift move, his top is gone, showing his beautiful skin, and toned torso.
He now asked to pull yours and you agreed.
You felt the cold temperature of the room, which was immediately burned by Jaebumโs hands as it travels from your stomach to the sides of your breasts.
He kissed your neck again, and you adjusted so he can remove your bra.
โFuck,โ he said as his hands landed on your bare chest.
He slowly cupped them, making you moan.
โHngg, Jaeb,โ you responded as he played with it.
Something ignites in you as you felt his mouth played with one of them while the other one is with his hands.
He continued doing that until both of your nipples are hard.
โThis is the last time Iโll be asking you, if you want this to stop, say it now.โ
Silence.
He pulled your shorts, including your panties which earned a gasp from you.
โFuck, youโre so beautiful, babyโ his hand now travels from your stomach to your core.
โShit, he slowly parted your folds, as he slowly rubbed your clit.
โYouโre soaking baby,โ he said as he sends electricity to your entire body.
โAhhhhโฆโ you moaned as you felt his fingers entered you.
He stayed like that for a moment then he slowly moved in an out until you became familiar with his fingers.
He detached himself completely. You watched him take off his pajamas. He climbed back on the bed, and guided your hands to his boxers.
You felt his hard member inside his underwear. You rubbed it with the guidance of his hands. When you stopped, he removed the remaining piece of clothing that he has and let him be exposed before your eyes.
You watched him place a condom on his member and adjust as he positioned himself on top of you again.
โAhh shit, youโre so tight, babeโ he said as he penetrates you.
You let out a light curse as you adjust to the unfamiliar yet delicious sensation youโre experiencing.
โBaby,โ you sighed.
โHmm?โ he replied.
โMove please,โ you muttered.
With that, he started slow. You felt pain but the pleasure it brings you makes you wanting for more so when you found the rhythm, you moved with him. This sent ecstasy to Jaebumโs senses which made the pace quick which made earned delicious sounds from you.
You felt somethingโs bubbling inside you, something thatโs about to explode.
โLet go, baby,โ he said.
You felt your release as he pounds into you as you ride your high.
โIโm cumming too,โ he said, now heโs now moving faster.
You felt something warm inside you but he slowly pulled out as soon as he released his.
He disappeared towards the bathroom. You smelled something relaxing.
โCan you stand?โ he asked and you moved. He guided you towards his personal bathroom.
You feel relaxed as you dip your body in the warm water. The scent is now enveloping your senses.
You feel him behind you, now holding a washcloth.
โWhat are you doing?โ you whispered,
โTaking care of you,โ he said as he rubs it gently on your body.
You stayed there for a few minutes, with heated make โ outs in between.
When youโre both out of the shower, He insisted to dress you. So now youโre wearing one of his shirts thatโs too large even for him, plus a one of his new boxers.
You relaxed yourself in one side of his bed and he joined you shortly after.
You feel him close and planted a kiss on your hair.
โY/N..โ he whispered.
โHmm?โ you said, in a tired way.
โI love you, welcome home.โ He said as he adjusted himself so he can spoon you.
โI love you too,โ you replied.
Within a few minutes, you succumbed to sleep.
A/N
Hello! It has been around 5 years since Make Me 20.1 was posted AFAIK. To those who waited and lost hope, I am sorry for being in hiatus for such a long time. I stopped writing, I lost the spark. and reality hits.
If you're new here, hi! Welcome to the little blog that I made because I felt inspired to write because of these seven men as I made this.
But now, I am back to it! but no promises. I cannot commit to a fixed or scheduled timeline as to when I could post the remaining chapters of Make Me or other works that I have.
But rest assured, it has been plotted since 2018.
If you loved this chapter, do not hesitate to leave a comment, suggestions, or reblogs, are highly appreciated.
Please, do not copy/repost/transfer this on any other platform.
Thank you!
