Chapter Text
Last Season
When the next morning rolled around, the couples exited their rooms, but instead of giggling and clinging onto each other, they were awkward with one another. Specifically, the couples that fought in the battle, the earlier night, avoided each other. The couples that didn’t take part were normal, but for the couples that participated? Things were definitely not the same.
Everyone made their way to the dining room, and this awkward tension filled the air.
“You guys are okay?” Billie was the first one to speak.
“Yeah. You guys don’t look too good.” Haneul added, noticing the heavy bags underneath the couples’ eyes.
“Yeah, are we okay?” Seokjin questioned Kim.
“I don’t know, are we?”
“I don’t know…”
This Season
As soon as she released Jailene from the hug, Seokjin busted through the door, panting as if he ran a marathon.
“Seokjin?” Kim questioned, wondering why her roommate was panting and holding a bouquet of roses. Wait roses?
Seokjin caught his breath as he did not want to do this while he was panting for air. He gasped for air a couple more times before straightening out. He walked in front of Kim and presented the dozen red roses to her.
“Seokjin, if you're trying to apologize to me, for the millionth time, I told you—” but, before Kim could reject yet another shot at apologizing, Seokjin interrupted her.
“It’s not. I needed to ask you this before you left.”
Seokjin then lowered himself to one knee, causing everyone in the house to become shock.
Nervousness entered her body as Kim forgot how to breathe.
“What are you doing?”
“Will you be mine?”
Looking at his side of the closest, an anxious man flipped through shirt after shirt. As if he was searching for the perfect shirt that screamed, “I missed you so much!”, but doesn’t appear desperate. He spent hours and hours of searching until he found the right combination of clothing articles that could cause his princess jump into his arms and never let go. Not that he planned on letting her go, ever.
Finished buttoning the last button on his light blue casual dress shirt, the nervous man heard a light knock on his door and a familiar voice announce,
“Seokjin! Her plane has landed! Kim texted me saying she’s waiting to claim her luggage!”
Seokjin’s eyes widened to the size of giant flying saucers as soon as the phrase, “Her plane has landed!”, escaped Namjoon’s mouth. He frantically put on his watch that Kim had bought and mailed him from Spain and swiftly put on his shoes. He dashed out the room and at the same time, he ran past his roommates, who were either doing their own thing or having a fun debate on who’s significant other was better. Eventually, he ran past Jey, who was holding his keys for him. She muttered under her breath that was he was an idiot for wasting time on picking out an outfit.
Already late on picking up his girlfriend, Seokjin simply glared at the woman and rushed out the door, uttering a quick prayer to the Gods that there would be little to no traffic on his way to the airport.
Meanwhile, Jimin and Taehyung casually strode out of the game room and noticed the door slam shut.
“Let me guess, he spent the whole day picking an outfit and is now late on picking his princess up?” Jimin questioned Taehyung, who was currently grinning cheekily and fighting off the urge to laugh at Seokjin’s misfortune.
“Yep. How much do you want to bet that Kim is going to be pissed?” Taehyung jokingly asked, knowing that Seokjin and Kim might end their relationship before it even began.
Before Jimin could open his mouth to speak, he felt a throbbing pain in the back of his head and then a familiar backside walked into his line of vision.
“Ow! Jailene! Baby! What was that for?” He questioned his “woman” cutely. Then, he began to rub the back of his head as a result from being hit.
Jailene turned around with an overly sweet smile and then instantly dropped it.
“Really? You are guys are betting on Kim and Seokjin’s relationship, and you are seriously asking me why I smacked you?” She replied before cursing at him in Spanish. She then turned her back towards him and disappeared off into the family room.
Taehyung quickly glanced at Jimin to see if he was alright, however Taehyung noticed a goofy grin written on his close friend’s lips.
“Is this how Jungkook felt when we first started out?” Taehyung amusingly thought as he dragged his grinning buddy out the door.
Back with Seokjin, he nervously tapped on the stirring wheel as his eyes kept darting to the clock every second, praying that he traffic would clear up. Unfortunately, it did not. Why? Well, it’s because the Gods hated him.
After what it seemed like forever in traffic, Seokjin spotted a familiar face patiently waiting by the side. A huge and bright smile graced the handsome man’s face as he patiently waited his turn to pick up his passenger.
Kim, who was oblivious to the fact that Seokjin was close by, scrolled on her phone and looked at the variety of pictures she took while she was in Spain. She looked at all the historic landmarks and smiled softly to herself as she thought,
“I think I want my honeymoon here.”
Her soft smile turned into a bright one the more she thought about marrying Seokjin. Sure, she might be deemed crazy for wanting to marry someone she barely started dating, but after the shit they went through, they might as well have been dating for years already.
Even though Seokjin said the magical phrase to her the day she left for Spain, he still insisted on that she left and obtain some fun cultural experiences.
“It’s good to travel the world before settling down, princess…” Kim recalled what Seokjin had told her when he dropped her off the airport.
Now? She was honestly happy to be home.
Hearing a repetitive and obnoxious honking, Kim forcibly removed herself from being deep in thought when she looked up and saw a familiar handsome face getting out of the car. She quickly left her luggage behind and ran up to the person she longed for during the months she’s been gone.
“Jinnie!” Kim happily cried as she ran and flung her arms around his neck, tightening her hold on him as if she was scared that this was just a dream, and he wasn’t physically there to pick her up.
Seokjin couldn’t help but laugh deeply as he began to gently swing his woman side-to-side, loving the fact that her cute body was in the same continent as him again. After swinging his princess, a couple more times, Seokjin gently placed her back on the ground and examined her face. His hand gently rested against the side of her cheek as he began to softly caress it with his thumb.
Having observed a dreamy look in his eyes, Kim felts her cheeks deepen in color as she asked him why he was staring at her.
“Cause, I’m just memorizing the face of the woman I love and had longed for while she was away.” Seokjin kindly answered, smiling lovingly at her before capturing her lips for a passionate yet innocent kiss.
Kim giggled into the kiss as she always found it rather amusing when he became cheesy with the romantics. The sweet couple finally pulled away and then Seokjin, being the gentleman that he was, helped loaded Kim’s luggage into the trunk. He quickly closed the trunk and then jogged to the passenger side door and held it open for his lovely lady.
An amusing sigh exited Kim’s lips as she entered the vehicle and closed the door behind her. Seokjin happily walked over to the drivers’ side door and entered the vehicle himself. He closed the door and buckled his seatbelt before inserting the key into the ignition. He then turned on his turn single and smoothly got back onto the main road where the journey ride home waited for them.
“So, what did I miss while I was gone?” Kim asked, initiating the many conversation that the two of them will have on the long car ride home.
Seokjin gently squeezed his princess’s hand before answering.
“Well, pick a couple and I’ll tell you.”
Kim hummed in response as she thought of which couple was she dying to play catch up with.
“Got it! Chrysa and Jackson!” She announced as the car slowly came to a stop as they reached heavy traffic on the freeway.
Seokjin waited for the car to come to a complete stop before replying to Kim.
“Well, last time I heard, Jackson is in deep trouble because he supposedly sabotaged Chrysa’s chances with Vernon or was it Vernon’s chances with Chrysa. Either way, she’s pissed.”
Kim turned her head slightly towards him and tilted her head in confusion.
“Wait, Chrysa likes Vernon? Before I left, that wasn’t remotely even a thing.” She questioned as the car began to move again. The traffic Gods weren’t sparing anyone today.
Seokjin clicked his tongue, “Well, supposedly it was and now, I think those two are barely speaking to each other. Though, I have a feeling it might have something to do with Billie’s new boyfriend, Daehyun, introducing his friend to her.” He explained, adding a bit of new gossip at the end.
Kim then held out her hand as if she was signaling him to stop.
“Whoa. Whoa. When did Billie get a new boyfriend? Last time I checked, Yugyeom was still in the picture!” She then let out a frustrated whine, feeling a bit guilty for not paying attention to her “daughters”. “I’m a terrible friend, especially after she came to me for advice on how to end a relationship but still be friends afterwards.” Kim added as she quickly scrolled on her phone to check Billie’s relationship status. Yup. There it was. Billie was now in a relationship with Jung Daehyun. Kim then took mental note of that and locked her phone.
A short chuckle left his lips as Seokjin couldn’t help but find Kim adorable right now.
“Alright. Who’s next on your list?” He asked as he kissed her knuckle gently.
Kim pursed her lips and thought about which of her “daughters” did she want to know about next.
“Hmmm… Toni and Haneul!” She shouted cutely as her favorite song came on the radio. Her eyes instantly lit up as she danced goofily, making Seokjin laugh just a bit.
“From what Namjoon tells me, they are doing fine, so nothing really to report there. Except a couple weeks ago, he accidentally ripped her only copy of her favorite book, and Toni was pissed.” Seokjin paused due to Kim letting out a shocked gasp. “Yeah, Namjoon had to room with Youngjae until Toni’s anger subsided.” He finished.
Kim couldn’t help but feel sad for her soul partner.
“Now Haneul, she’s also dating someone new.” Seokjin confessed as he smoothly switched from one late to another.
“Oh, I knew about that one since she came to me for advice as well. I think his name is Kang Daniel, right?” Kim said as she tried to recall the name of the person her youngest “daughter” was seeing.
Seokjin made a sound that signified that Kim was correct.
“Yup! You actually know him, sweetie.” He stated, hoping to trigger her memory. Sadly, it did not. All he got from her was a confused look as her brow furrowed together. “He was in our Microbiology class a couple of semesters ago.” He confessed, causing Kim to go, “OH!”, as the name finally matched to a face in her memory bank.
“Oh him! Yeah, he’s a decent guy from what I remember. I approve of him for Haneul.” She told him as the Sun began to slowly cook her exposed thighs.
“I hate the heat…” She pitifully thought as she tried to block the Sun by positioning her thighs away from the sunlight.
Catching on to her discomfort quickly, Seokjin pointed the air conditioning vents at her legs, hoping the cool air will soothe her burning flesh.
A sweet and thankful smile graced her lips as Kim kissed his cheeks happily.
“So, has Yoongi asked out Madelyn yet? He actually paid for international calling to ask for help.” Kim suddenly asked as she stared at the endless ocean while driving by.
“What do you think?” Seokjin asked playfully, his eyes focused purely on the road.
“Let me guess. He asked her out in his mind and has told everyone that she was his girlfriend and that they are dead meat if they even glanced at her.” Kim replied as if she was telepathically connected to her man. “That guy…” She berated Yoongi in her mind.
Then light bulb hit her as soon as the thought of Madelyn hit her mind.
“How’s Alison and Hoseok? I hear that they are still doing well, right?” Kim randomly asked, turning her attention towards her prince as she leaned to the side and rested her cheek against his arm.
“Last time I heard from those two, they are doing perfectly well. I think Hoseok is planning something special for her birthday.” Seokjin answered before placing a sweet peck on Kim’s head.
A smile of content graced Kim’s face as she mumbled a quick, “That’s good.”, before drifting off into nap land.
Hours later, Kim felt her shoulders being softly shake as she slowly raised her head and felt a tiny neck cramp.
“Jin?” She mumbled tiredly as she slowly rubbed her sleepy eyes to readjust to the bright light.
“I’m sorry princess, but the Jey just called and the whole wanted to talk to you.” Seokjin politely explained why he had to interrupt her peaceful slumber.
A tired yet soft smile appeared as Kim nodded before speaking.
“Hey guys!”
“KIM!!!!!!” The girls shouted happily, feeling ecstatic that their “mom”/ “wife” was on her way home.
A soft chuckle was released from Kim’s lips as she felt like she was over the moon after hearing how happy your close friends were to hear from her.
“Did you guys behave while I was gone?” Kim teasingly asked, fully aware of what their answers were going to be.
“Define behave?” Seokjin piped up, joining their conversation.
“Don’t you dare tell her!” Jey threatened coldly over the speaker, causing Kim’s mind to be filled with curiosity.
“Don’t tell me what?” Kim questioned, wondering why Jey was suddenly being hostile towards Seokjin.
Seokjin glared at the caller ID as if Jey was physically there with them.
“Either you tell her or I will.” He then paused he secretly concocted a fun idea. “Though, it would more entertaining if I told her so bye Jey!” Seokjin suddenly announced as he quickly hung up on the phone before Jey could call him every curse word known to man.
Kim shook her head softly at his childish behavior. Those two always did love to butt heads.
“Okay, what did my “hubby” do now?” She asked, though, she secretly wished she hadn’t because of how well she knows Jey. Jey can be a bit of a handful for a person who doesn’t know how she operates. Unfortunately, that was Seokjin, so what crazy adventure did Jey force Seokjin on.
“She went to jail a couple of times.” Seokjin stated seriously, earning Kim’s undivided attention. Boy, she was displeased with her prince right now.
“She what?!” She shrieked out of frustration before smacking Seokjin’s arm a couple of times. “I thought I told you to make sure she didn’t go to jail! Emphasis on the word didn’t!” She scolded fiercely, narrowing her eyes out of agitation.
“So, I’m guessing sex is out of the question for tonight?” Seokjin jokingly inquired, earning him a couple of more smacks from Kim.
“You’re an idiot!” Kim exclaimed furiously, feeling a headache begin to surface.
“I’m an idiot? You should be telling that to Jey because one of her arrests was due to her stealing a fucking pineapple! A fucking pineapple! Of all things she could steal, she steals a fruit! Like seriously?! Furthermore, her other arrests were because she flirted with the police officers, as if she wanted to be arrested by them! I think she likes to be handcuffed” Seokjin said loudly, feeling a tad offended that he was called an idiot; hence, why he animatedly explained all the reasons why Jey was the idiot. “Also, we’re not allowed to have pineapples. Don’t ask.” He added, earning a skeptical and questioning look from Kim.
Seconds later, she scoffed at his claims as if those were nothing in comparison to what Jey put her through.
“So, what? You like restraining me too, if I remember correctly.” She retorted, winking and displaying a rather alluring smirk near the end.
A soft yet bright blush slowly crept on Seokjin’s face as soon as Kim said that. He then pressed his index finger to her lips and shushed her.
“Anyway, there would have been a fourth arrest, but she got off scot free with that one.” He proclaimed.
Kim raised her brow as she looked at him in pure confusion.
“A fourth one? What happened?” She asked.
“Jey thought it would be fun to break into another fraternity house and steal their trophy.” He answered with a deadpanned expression.
“Ah…” Kim then dropped the topic and snuggled up against him again. “Oh, speaking of breaking and entering, how’s Hana and Jungkook?” She asked, letting her curiosity speak for itself.
Seokjin shot her a look, “How did the topic of breaking and entertaining lead you to asking about Jungkook and Hana?” He replied with a question, finding his princess’s thinking process rather interesting.
Kim merely shrugged, “I don’t know but just answer Mr. Seokjin.”
Seokjin snorted, “Sure thing, Miss Kim. Anyway, Jungkook is dating someone, and Hana is unusually calm about it.”
Kim’s eyes almost fell out of their sockets.
“Wait what?! Jungkook is dating someone, and she’s not Hana?! Who?!” Kim fired question after question, feeling nothing by sympathy for Hana.
Seokjin had to think about who this week’s person was. For some odd reason, ever since that whole ordeal with Seungcheol and Hana, Jungkook changed. He started to date around, going through girl after girl. Right now, a girl named Lee Ji Eun was his girlfriend of the month, though Seokjin and the rest of the fellas had to give her props. She lasted much longer than his previous “girlfriends”.
“So, what you’re telling me right now is that Jungkook is a player?” Kim bit the inside of her cheek. “Good to know… I’m going to kill him when we get home.” She added evilly with a calculating smirk painted on her face.
A cold shiver shot down his spine as Seokjin eyed his woman oddly.
“She’s scary when she’s angry…” He noted mentally as they finally reached their exit.
“Also, Jimin and Jailene are not doing too well either.” He cautiously added, knowing how close his princess was to Jailene.
“What did that small pepper do now?” Kim scoffed as she rolled her eyes, ready to plot Jimin’s death if necessary.
“One) you know how he feels when you call him that and two) Jailene went out with Wonwoo and didn’t tell Jimin about it, so now they are both kind of hostile towards each other, but Jimin is back to his fuck boys way in a sense.” Seokjin explained the situation regarding team JaiMin.
Feeling her head throbbing slightly, Kim began to rub her temples in a circular pattern as she tried to wrap her head around the variety of news she received. Wait, Seokjin forgot to inform her about one couple. Maddie and Jaebum. However, just as she was going to ask, Seokjin pulled up to the driveway that lead to the co-ed house. Her eyes began to sparkle as the house entered her line of sight. She practically bounced in her seat as she eagerly waited for the car to be put into park, so she can take off and hug her close friends.
Finding her being antsy adorable, Seokjin decided it would be fun to mess with Kim. He backed up from the driveway and then slowly aligned himself perfectly. Every time Kim thought he was going to put the car into park, Seokjin would turn around and fix himself again and again and again.
Finally catching on to what he was doing, Kim slapped his shoulder out of frustration and being annoyed. His deep chuckle entered her ears as Seokjin finally put the car into park. Kim excitingly unbuckled her seatbelt and practically bolted out of the car. Seokjin shook his head as he found his girlfriend rather funny as she ran into the house. An airy yet light-hearted sigh exited his lips as Seokjin turned off the ignition and took the key out. He then unbuckled his seatbelt and exited the vehicle himself. He walked calmly towards the trunk of the car where his princess’s luggage waited for him. He grabbed both suitcases one by one and then closed the trunk. He pulled out both handles and then proceeded to roll her luggage.
As he neared the front door, he heard an abnormal of shouting. Seokjin hesitantly approached the door handle as he opened the door, the first thing he saw was Kim being accosted by his close friends. Before he could inquire what was happening, Seokjin felt a pair of hands grab onto his shoulders and was roughly pulled into a group of fuming women.
“Give us back our mother!” Hana shouted furiously as she stared down Jungkook, who was currently resting his arm around Kim’s shoulders.
With an egotistical smirk drawn on his face, Jungkook pulled Kim closer to him as if he was trying to taunt Hana. However, just as Jungkook was about to say one snarky remark, he suddenly a sharp pain on the backside of his hand.
“Yeah. Let go, Kook.” Kim said coolly, not liking Jungkook holding her in an intimate manner.
Jungkook pouted cutely and rubbed the spot where he was pinched.
“What? I can’t hold my favorite female?” He asked cutely yet playfully as he innocently stared at Kim.
Kim snorted, “Yeah. No.”
Seokjin began to laugh obnoxiously at Jungkook being rejected.
Hana faked a sympathetic expression, “Aww… did Jungkook’s feelings get hurt.”
“Hana.” Kim warned, not wanting to stir up any more trouble. She just arrived home, and the last thing she wanted to deal with was a gender war.
Unfortunately, Hana didn’t catch on to her “mom’s” warning.
“What? Someone has to keep this playboy in place, and it’s not fair to his precious little girlfriend that he’s holding someone else romantically.” Hana justified her actions as she turned her gaze onto her close friends.
That did it. Something switched on in Jungkook’s mind as Hana continued to mock him.
“You know what—” Before Jungkook could say something he would soon later to regret, Hoseok firmly placed his hand over the younger one’s mouth and pulled him to the back of the herd.
“And that’s enough outbursts from the bunny boy.” Hoseok jokingly said as he and Namjoon held back Jungkook, though, it was proving to be difficult.
Jey rolled her eyes, “Whatever. Can we just have Kim back? This is getting annoying.”
“Give us Seokjin then we will.” Jimin said boldly as he crossed his arms over his chest.
“Give us Kim then we will.” Jailene countered, stepping up to her “man”.
Kim eyed Seokjin helplessly as she mouthed a quick, “help me”, to him.
“Guys, can’t you guys save it for tomorrow? My princess is tired and she wants to rest. Whatever caused this gender war can wait.” Seokjin asked, saving Kim from another hour of useless arguing.
The guys looked at Seokjin briefly before initiating a group huddle where they discussed on what their next plan of attack should be.
Kim awkwardly looked at the guys and then twiddled her thumbs.
Soon, Taehyung broke away from the huddle and gently grasped Kim’s bicep.
“Deal.” He said as he politely guided Kim towards Seokjin.
As Kim neared Seokjin, Seokjin reached out and pulled her into his chest. He then wrapped his arounds around her shoulders and held her tightly, not wanting to let her go.
“But, I’m rather curious about something.” Kim suddenly began. “What caused you guys to argue in the first place?” She asked, unknowingly initiating the battle of “he said, she said” once again.
Seokjin made a noise of disappointment as he buried his face in the crook of her neck, hiding the shame and defeat visible in his face.
At first, the living room was silent with the boys and girls staring blankly at one another. Without any warning, chaos ensued. Both parties shouting a mixture of blame, profanities, pleas, etc. as Kim stared helplessly at the gang again.
“Nice job sweetie…” Seokjin murmured.
Kim shot him a look before positioning her thumb and middle in a certain way in her mouth. She inhaled deeply and then emitted a high-pitch whistle, gaining the undivided attention of her roommates.
“Okay! Before you guys kill each other, I want to know one thing!” She then looked down at her prince, who was now resting his chin on her shoulder. “What happened to Maddie & Jaebum? That’s been eating away at me since we’ve been home.”
Suddenly, the air filled with awkward tension and silence as everyone became unsure on how to break the news to Kim. Eventually, Maddie stepped on to the plate and strode over to her “mom”. She awkwardly glanced to Jaebum briefly and then placed her gaze onto Kim.
“Uh… we kind of broke up while you were gone.” Maddie informed, taking a step back from Kim. “
A look of pure confusion and shock slowly washed over Kim’s face as she shifted her eyes from Maddie and Jaebum.
“When did this happen?!” Kim questioned loudly as she couldn’t wrap her mind around their unusual break up.
Jey then walked over to Kim and placed a warm hand on her shoulder.
“I think you should sit down, and we’ll play catch up, especially since I’m sure that Seokjin only gave you the footnotes version.” She suggested, lightly mocking Seokjin in the process as well.
Hours later, Kim averted her gaze from the gang as she tried to wrap her head around the full version of each couple.
“You’re telling me that Maddie and Jaebum broke up only because Jaebum was too detached from you?” Kim paused to purse her lips. “I’m sorry, but that has to be the stupidest reason to break up with someone.” She then gestured to Seokjin, who was happily sitting next to her. “That’s like me breaking up with Seokjin because he’s too handsome.” She stated, using her relationship with the pretty boy as an example.
Seokjin then looked at Kim completely flabbergasted, “You would break up with me because of that?”
However, Kim simply waved him, loving to push his press his buttons.
“Not now Jinnie. We’re talking about Maddie and Jaebum.” She shushed him as she pressed her finger to her lips.
Seokjin rolled his eyes and then muttered, “Wait until we’re alone princess.”, causing Kim to smirk seductively at him in response.
“Anyway, back to Maddie and Jaebum—where did they go?” Kim questioned as she saw that the topic of their current conversation was no longer there.
“They said something about not wanting to be questioned any further and left.” Yoongi replied in his signature laid-back tone of voice as Madelyn nodded her head.
Kim pouted and then leaned back in her seat.
“Oh, fine…” She then pointed to the ceiling. “But, they are not off the hook!” She declared as she shot off her seat before walking from the gang.
The girls all stared at Seokjin.
“What?” He asked, feeling as if a billion of eyes were staring at him.
“Why are you dating her again?” Alison teasingly asked as Hoseok began to snicker from the sidelines.
“I ask myself that ever since the day I asked her to be mine.” Seokjin amusingly said, making a funny jab at himself. He then politely excused himself and carried the luggage up to his and Kim’s shared room.
“I hate to say this, but they are relationship goals.” Namjoon declared boldly, noticing the interesting chemistry that Seokjin and Kim shared.
Toni nodded, “Yeah they are.” She then walked over to her intellectual man and kiss his cheek sweetly. “But, I prefer our relationship.” She lovingly whispered him, causing the smart man to blush softly.
Soon, a dark blanket drew over the house as it was decorated with spots of white that illuminated and sparkled the night sky. With the full moon casting a spotlight on the roof of house, the couples retired to their respected room for the night.
As she unpacked her belongings, Kim categorized her souvenirs by people in which the presents belonged to. With Seokjin in tow, she played Santa Clause and delivered the presents to their respective owners one by one as she was thanked with a pleasant smile and loving hugs.
Knocking on Haneul’s door, Kim eagerly waited for a soft voice to grant her permission to enter. Once she heard it, Kim slowly opened the door and gestured Seokjin to wait outside since she knows that Haneul likes her privacy.
Upon entering, she noticed Maddie and Hana sitting on the bed, giggling and making funny jokes as Haneul would let out a short chuckle here and there while she finished her digital drawing.
“Ooh! Sounds like a party in here!” Kim shouted excitingly as she walked over to the bed.
Maddie and Hana simultaneously tackled Kim into a warm hug as they both missed their “mom”.
“Okay. Okay. Release me! I need to give Haneul a special paint set.” Kim demanded as she held up Haneul’s present.
Haneul quirked her brow as she placed her stylus down.
“Paint set?” She inquired as Kim handed her the beautifully wrapped present. She carefully undid the ribbon and tore the wrapping paper. One by one the wrapping paper revealed a wooden case. Haneul’s eyes sparkled with such admiration as she admired the wooden carvings. She ran her hand over the smooth yet bumpy surface. She then placed it on her desk and hugged Kim, pouring every ounce of emotion that showed how much she appreciated her.
Kim returned the hug with same amount of emotion while Maddie and Hana gushed over the cute interaction.
After minutes of hugging, Haneul suddenly remembered that she was tasked with something from Mark. While they may have had broken up, they were still on friendly terms. With hard work and determination, Mark and Haneul successfully managed to go back to being the best friends they were before they decided to take it a step further.
“I have something for you!” She jumped out her seat and rushed towards her secret box.
Kim raised an eyebrow as the curiosity filled her mind. She looked to Maddie and Hana, hoping that they would tell her what it was, but they only smiled sheepishly at her.
Haneul grabbed a nicely folded piece of paper and then handed it to Kim.
“Don’t read it here. Mark specifically told me to tell you to read it when you’re alone in your room.” Haneul announced vaguely as she took a seat once again.
Kim eyed her skeptically, “Okay.” She then tucked the paper in her back pocket and bid the ladies a farewell.
Seokjin, who was busy talking to both Yoongi and Hoseok, noticed Kim finally exiting the artist’s room.
“What took you so long wifey? I was about to call the local SWAT team to come and rescue you.” Seokjin wondered as he pulled Kim towards him.
Kim smiled sweetly at him, “The girls trapped me into a hug for a good couple of minutes before I demanded them to let me go.” She explained as she noticed that the other presents were no longer tucked underneath his arm.
Seokjin noticed Kim staring at him with her brows knitted together.
“I delivered the last remaining presents, so I could get some alone time with you for the rest of the night.” He clarified as he suggested some fun activities near the end.
A rosy blush crept on Kim’s cheeks as she glued her eyes to the carpet while Yoongi and Hoseok snickered and made sly comments.
Seokjin smiled to himself, feeling pleased with how easy it was to convince Kim for some make up sex.
“Excuse us gentlemen.” Seokjin said politely, excusing himself and Kim from their conversation as he kindly guided his princes back to their room.
Currently in a heated embrace, Seokjin kissed and sucked every patch of skin that he could get his mouth, wanting nothing more to catch up on lost time that he and Kim experienced.
A soft moan escaped Kim’s lips as she tilted her head slightly to grant him more access. Seokjin smirked against her skin as his hands began to trail down and toy with the button of her shorts.
“Don’t be a tease now Jinnie…” She murmured sweetly and innocently as his hands lightly tickled her upper thigh, teasing her even more.
Seokjin pulled away, “Oh? Do I detect my princess actually begging for me?”
Kim rolled her eyes, “Jin, don’t make me take control.”
A smug smile formed on his face as Seokjin stared intensely at the sweet vixen with cloudy eyes.
“I kind of want to see that.” He then scooted off the bed. “So, I say we take a quick break to freshen up and change into more suitable clothing.” Seokjin seductively whispered into Kim’s ear, causing her to shudder from arousal. He winked at her one last time before exited the room.
As soon as she heard the door softly closed, Kim quickly covered her face with the pillow but soon revealed it when she remembered the note from Mark.
She dug in her back pocket for the now wrinkled note. She undid the folding and then prepared for whatever Mark had to say on why he and Haneul terminated their relationship. Her eyes skimmed the written content but soon focused on each word as the note was not what it appeared to be. Her eyes widened, and her palms began to sweat as Mark confessed some interesting feelings to her. Her heart dropped when she read the last line,
“I talked to the Haneul about this, and she’s completely fine with it. So, I’m going to come out and say it—I think I’m harboring some romantic feelings for you. — Mark T.”
Kim suddenly lost her strength. The paper unexpectedly became heavy. How was she going to tell Seokjin? She needed to tell him because they both had agreed no more secrets between them. Their relationship was going to be 100% honest.
“You ready for me, princess?” She heard Seokjin ask as she noticed the lights dim and a sudden shift in the bed.
Kim stared at the letter one last time and tried to think of a way to tell Seokjin about the letter.
Noticing she was still wearing her airport outfit, Seokjin wondered why she didn’t prepare herself. He then observed her hands holding something, though, it was difficult to make out what it was, Seokjin decided to be patient and let his princess tell him when she was ready. That was another aspect of their relationship they had a rather long discussion over. Seokjin would try and control his jealousy around Kim.
He soon shook off that undying want to ask Kim about the letter and teasingly and slowly crawled over to Kim. Just as Seokjin was about to capture Kim’s tempting lips, she spoke,
“Seokjin?”
