Y/N - annddddd
*buzz*
Okay, that's weird.
Laying against my chair, the fruits of my labour finished with a far cry as I was about to scream internally.
My phone had immediately vibrated against the table, albeit lying flat. Picking it up without a doubt in my movement to check it out.
Sajangnim
Take a look at this.
My heart sank upon the notification, I haven't seen the full content of the text yet but it could mean anything.
Did I fuck something up?
In the videos or?
Fuck it, I'll find out in a moment.
Tapping the notification on my phone leading me to my messages after unlocking my phone with face I.D, came a string of an article from Dispatch which was a bit weird.
Could it be for NMIXX or somet-
Oh.
Eyes leading on, continuing on to read the headline, mouth agape and a panic ensuing over me when I fully opened the link to lead me to the article.
'Aespa's Karina with a new secret boyfriend?'
Following down onto the next part of the page reading the rest of what the article had to say, my face immediately churned upon the horrifying attachments awaiting for me.
Pictures of Jimin, I and Jinae together when we were out the other day.
THE OTHER FUCKING DAY.
We were just having a family outing, going out for ice cream and things like that but for them to take photos of me and my family in secrecy?
To violate our rights to at least have one normal fucking day together?
Just one day, one fucking day.
And it's the only time she wasn't wearing a mask and we were on the less paparazzi side of town for crying out loud.
Sitting there, my hand laid on the side of my head, gently caressing it before applying a bit more pressure to soothe the thoughts inside.
But while I read and kept my eyes on the certain lines that stood out to me, my phone buzzed again once more but this time, it remained.
Seeing the header for a call coming through from Sajangnim.
Sitting up in the chair and fixing my posture to deliver a respectable tone towards him, putting the phone to my ear, clearing my throat and looking at my monitor to distract me from the thoughts.
Y/N - yeoboseyo?
Boss - Y/N.
Y/N - y- yes?
Boss - you understand what I'm calling you for right?
Y/N - yes sir.
Boss - and you understand WHY I'm calling you?
Y/N - yes sir.
Boss - I don't care what you're doing right now, if it's for the next promotional video for the girls or whatever, pack it up and put it on your hard drive right now.
Y/N - understood.
Boss - you're not being fired, understand?
Y/N - yes sir.
My voice almost croaked, my head feeling a bit dizzy from the sudden annoyance as I would put it even though this would truly affect my world from now on.
The stares I'll get from my co-workers, those truly ruthless stares and what lies behind their eyes.
'Y/N was with Karina this entire time?'
'That piece of shit and to not tell us'
Those ran through my head while his voice came through
Boss - I'm putting you in for 'vacation', time off really. Paid leave matter of fact, because you'll continue your work remotely at your home which I assume you have a setup for, yes?
Y/N - yes sir I do including the necessary equipment
Boss - then it won't be a problem. I'll organise a talk with Soo-man and just try to work this out for your sake and for her arraseo?
Y/N - got it.
Boss - and hey listen, I don't care who you're with or what not, what I care about is the fact that one of my top employee's is at risk here. Well- more so an acquaintance since I value our relationship
Y/N - thank you sajangnim
Boss - no problem and also, take the idol passageways when you're going down. Wouldn't want to run into trouble while getting to your car right?
Y/N - ye- yeah of course. Thank you again.
Boss - I'll deal with this immediately, we'll talk again.
Y/N - see you sir
Boss - same here.
The call ended, bringing my phone down to my chest and staring at the phone. Trying to devise my next move and obviously, I sprung into action immediately.
Y/N - fuck fuck fuck
Frantically saving everything onto the hard drive and while that was transferring, my feet ran across the room to the couch grabbing my satchel and went back to my chair. Sitting down and grabbing all of my essential things.
Once I saw that pop up say it was finished, I was finished. grabbing my hard drive and turning off the PC, chucking the hard drive into my satchel and zipped it back up. I have to keep a level head while I walk out of here.
Do not look anyone in the eye and whatever they whisper, I will ignore, hopefully.
With my jacket and satchel on me, taking a deep breath while walking out of the room, stepping out onto the hallway with quick feet.
'There he is'
'Shit you think it's true?'
'Fuck, why would she be with him out of anyone else?'
'He seems to be in such a hurry, I wonder why'
With that last whisper being audible enough for me to hear, the office went silent as they watched me walk to the stairwell door, keeping my head down, my heart beating faster than I'd like.
Proceeding to walk and stomp down towards the first floor where the main lobby was and where the garage would be. Making my way out of the stairwell, my face hidden from anyone who walked by.
It's a busy place still, but anything could still happen.
Taking the advice from Sajangnim, taking the idol passageway that the building had for them to secretly go past the employees, I made my way eventually to the garage where I spotted Ji-woo waving at me.
Jiwoo - rough day all of a sudden huh?
Y/N - you bet
Waving back at him, he lit up with a smile. The same occasional smile he gives me, but if I truly had to trust an employee. It'd be him and I'd die by that bold statement.
Taking out my car keys and unlocking the car, getting into the driver's seat and putting on my seatbelt, the sound of the garage door from inside of the car vividly echoed making me look up.
Throwing the satchel onto the passenger seat and taking a glance of Ji-woo, driving up to him and lowering my window by his booth.
Jiwoo - I won't be seeing you for a while will I?
Y/N - I don't think so Jiwoo-ssi.
Jiwoo - you take care kid, you ever smoked?
Y/N - I did, quit when I had Jinae.
Jiwoo - sounds like you should pick it up again for the next week or so.
Genuinely pondering on the thought of it, he unexpectedly reached in from the booth to raise his hand and pat me on the shoulder, coloring me surprised at his gesture but somewhat comforted from it.
Y/N - may- maybe.
Jiwoo - attaboy, and remember. Cologne for the smell, my grand-daughter hates the smell so. That's really all.
Y/N - yeah. Thank you Jiwoo-ssi. I don't know what I'd do without you.
Jiwoo - I hear that everyday kid, just be there for your missus and Jinae alright?
Y/N - got it.
Jiwoo - see you next sunrise kiddo.
Y/N - see you Jiwoo-ssi
A faint smile smothered across my face, pressing gently on the accelerator. The both of us gave each other a reassuring nod as we said our goodbyes.
My eyes plastered onto the road, where the next thing is.
Hm.
Maybe I'll take him back up on the offer.
â------
Yeah It's gonna take me a while to quit again.
Strolling into the apartment building being met with my front door, taking a big sigh knowing that Jimin was probably inside, same thing with Haewon.
It's only the afternoon, three o'clock at the latest so Jinae is home as well.
Lifting my arm and leaning in to smell my jacket, turning my head downwards smelling my jacket. The stench of the aftersmell of Marlboro 100's coming off making me sniffle
Y/N - fuck. Bedroom first then Jinae.
Taking my keys out and putting it into the door, unlocking it and gently kicking it open where I walk in.
Taking my keys back and back into my jacket, closing the door behind me and the first thing I hear is
Jinae - PAPAAAAAA!
Turning to the side and seeing Jinae run down the hall, I guess I can't avoid her after all. As she ran towards me, Haewon and Jimin stood behind her further by the kitchen. My arms wrapped around Jinae but my face unwillingly frowned at the sight of them.
Haewon's hand laid flat against the kitchen wall, leaning onto it and looking down at the ground not to avoid my gaze but knew on the realization I was finally here. What it would mean.
Whereas, Jimin had her hands tucked into the sleeves of her long sleeve shirt, her eyes almost like they were on the verge of crying not because we got caught but because it'll mean something else entirely.
Holding Jinae in my hands, my knees buckled and folded squatting onto the floor.
Jinae - you smell funny papa
Y/N - don't worry about it sweetie.
Patting her back gently with my right hand, unable to hold her tightly as I would be. Letting go of her where I held her by the shoulders, brushing her hair to the side.
Y/N - you have fun at school today?
Jinae - yeah! We learned about English and stuff! And drew pictures of you and my mommies!
Y/N - th- that's good muffin. Real good.
Jinae - but I didn't get to finish it.
Pouting a bit because maybe the teacher took it from her, she must've been drawing it on the back of her work after all, but I wouldn't put her down over something like that.
My hand caressed her cheek, smiling with my teeth gritting against each other. Hiding away that part from me around her as I let go of her cheek, feeling proud of what she's done today.
Y/N - hey. How about you go to your room real quick and draw it again for us again and show us it? How does that sound?
Jinae - okay!
Y/N - go on.
She broke free from my hold, excitedly running off into her room. My knee creaked as I got up, letting out a sigh that was holding me from within, walking over to the two of them.
Embracing them without a word being said and being met with arms of comfort, heavenly satisfaction.
Hae - I saw.
Y/N - I know.
Kar - w- we'll figure it out.
Y/N - maybe.
Hae - you smell like you've been smoking.
Kar - one mishap and you're back?
We let go of each other, a soft cyclic sigh escaping from me, caressing the back of my head since well, I can't hide that part.
Y/N - s- sorry.
Hae - I- I didn't know you smoked.
Y/N - Ji-woo-ssi recommended me to when I was going out from the garage
Hae - well I trust him, if he says to do something, do it.
Kar - who's Ji-woo? Your member right?
Hae - no no he's our garage door guy, I don't know what the position is called. He just watches over the cars and stuff in the garage of the building and has a little booth and stuff where he hangs out all day. He's a nice man, elderly but sweet.
Kar - oh. And *sniff* menthol?
Y/N - thought it'd be better honestly.
Kar - fine enough, quit once this is over alright?
Y/N - will try- my best.
Grimacing and giving an awkward fist pump to reassure my word, we all stared at each other unsure on what to say.
Y/N - so..... I've been told to go home for a while
Hae - that was, to be expected.
Y/N - paid leave and still got edit so there's that
Kar - I want to say something on my mind, but you know I can't just shout in the middle of the day.
Jimin crossed her arms, closing her eyes and looking down, her body a bit shaking probably from the repulsion of the pictures that were uploaded.
Hae - just say it.
Opening her eyes, taking a sigh before waving her hands up in the air.
Kar - those fucking dispatch guys, god.
Hae - but you can play it off as hanging out with an employee, helping him out and stuff
Y/N - but that won't work, you know how netizens are. They'll find out who I am before I could even sleep in my bed tonight
Hae - damn. Right.
Kar - and this is bad enough already, I've already had my fair share with dispatch already so I don't know how to outplay them this time around
Y/N - my boss is talking with Soo-man right now, probably with Jin-Young too since well. This is bad enough as it goes.
Hae - you won't lose your job right? I like seeing you in the halls and going by the editor's room
Y/N - I hope not, if there's a petition for me to get outed from JYP then I don't know what then.
We all looked around, feeling frustrated with the situation but moving closer to Haewon, placing my hand on her forearm, making her look at me, connecting eyes with each other.
Y/N - it's going to be okay
Turning my head to Jimin, sharing the same look towards her.
Kar - the last thing I just want is for them to harm you or Jinae, her friends aren't old enough to understand yet but it's just the teachers, the parents even.
Y/N - I know.
Kar - I just don't want to be called a whore, a slut even. It's been almost a year since then and it's just. I can't trust myself with this stuff anymore.
Y/N - look, no one's going to call you it. If anything happens, I'll take the brunt of it.
Hae - but that's going to ruin you more
Y/N - it's not like I had anything to begin with. I ended up in JYP for a reason because of my work not because I sucked off the CEO or played house with them. If I lose the job, I lose it. If I can't get a job anywhere then I'll stick to what I know. One thing for sure, I know SM had a door open for me even if it's not an official role.
Kar - that's true Haewon, they've been wanting Y/N for years now, badly too.
Y/N - it's my responsibility to take care of our daughter, to take care of us. I know you two are doing the same too but I'm not risking your careers, the one you worked your entire life for just to throw it away for me.
Throwing me some frowns, they understood what I meant by it. It sounded a bit harsh but I'm doing this for them, not for me to save face. They meant more to everybody else than I ever did, you can say I'm selfish for wanting them to be left alone but I do know, what's been eating inside of me ever since I could learn how to calm a baby down,
How to care for them, what to say to them if they did anything naughty, the future held into my hands, my responsibility.
To love them.
To rest my weary eyes.
Hae - okay, j- just. I'll be there for you okay?
Kar - and I will be there too.
Hae - all of NMIXX and you have Red Velvet too
Kar - and Aespa. You don't know how much you saved all of us, how much you meant to us when I walked away. So just know, we love you.
Y/N - I know Jimin. I know.
Embracing them once again, we knew that it was a big thing but hopefully not big of a stint that could really, really change us.
â---
Y/N - be good and don't make mommy embarrassed okay?!
Jinae - I won't!
Me and Jimin sat on the couch together, waving goodbye to Haewon and Jinae who were all dressed up, a bag on Haewon's hand as they walked to the door.
Hae - we'll be back in an hour!
Kar - bye Haewon! Jinae!
Jinae - bye bye!
Watching them leave, the door clicked in place, me and Jimin laid back against the couch while staring at the tv, playing some random movie.
We turned to look at each other, sharing a soft smile.
Haewon and Jinae went to grab groceries since Haewon insisted on making dinner tonight, which I don't mind and to just give me and Jimin time to talk about our headspace, and well. Just to have mother daughter time which you know, can't really argue about. But truthfully? Ain't anything to argue about.
Shit I don't care if they show up with a big ass Lego set or whatever with the groceries just as long as they bond and have a good time, that's all I care about.
Y/N - well shit. I'm just saying, if an employee asks you if you're dating anyone, you can pull I have a kid card
Kar - shut up
Giggling, she shoves me gently on the shoulder making me softly laugh in response
Kar - give it about two more years I'd say and I'll pull the card
Y/N - gonna renew your contract with SM?
Kar - I'll think about it when I get there, when we all get there.
Y/N - what do girls say about it? They talk to you about that future?
Kar - I don't know, we haven't really sat down and talked about, haven't even crossed our minds.
Y/N - I just hope you guys stay together, but if you really want to be with Jinae, maybe consider the options at hand.
Kar - I do want to be with Jinae.
Y/N - not me?
Kar - you too. Just because we dated doesn't mean I didn't love you as much
Y/N - I know, I'm just joking with you. Do you still love me just as much?
Kar - I do, I really do. You know that thing where you feel like you only have one person throughout your life you think you'll always remember?
Y/N - yeah?
Kar - I think it would be you. If I was fragile and old, laying there on my deathbed. I would think of you, all the times we had.
Y/N - but you know we gotta make those good times right?
Kar - I know, but what we did when we were teens, you wouldn't say they were good times?
Y/N - they definitely were. Aeri at seventeen was pretty wild
Kar - you could say the same about Min-Jeong. Remember when we all went on that really long trip to Daejeon with the five of us?
Y/N - yeah I do..... Oh right.
Kar - I'm just saying, Ning was asleep in our room and you remember.... Y'know.
Y/N - look three girls and one guy sounds like something out of a porn video but that was one hell of a night.
Kar - hey, we had energy.
Y/N - yeah, too much energy. I was practically dying when we woke up the next day
Kar - like your soul was just snatched out haha
Y/N - yeah.
Sharing a smile, she scooted closer to me. A slight blush on her cheeks
Kar - can I rest on your chest?
Y/N - you don't even gotta ask, you're the mother of our daughter after all.
Kar - what a privilege
And so, she rested her head down onto my chest. Leaning my back against the arm of the couch, her chest laying on mine making me turn my neck at a weird position looking down at her.
Y/N - honestly, I still love you just as much.
Kar - I know. I can tell.
Y/N - how?
Kar - come on, you think I wouldn't know how you are all these years? I could pick you apart from a crowd if it was just your ass showing
Y/N - huh
Kar - but you know, something just came across my mind all of a sudden
Y/N - which was?
Looking up at the ceiling, the both of us are just talking out of our asses right now.
Kar - that one time after we went to the arcade with the girls, right after we had our trainee session
Y/N - I remember, somewhat.
My mind slowly took me towards an old memory, the best I could to imagine it....
â----------
*January 25th, 2018 at an arcade in Seoul*
Win - ehhhhhh!?!?
Aeri - and once again, Y/N wins again!
My drive to win exploded inside of me, a confident and cocky smile across my face while the machine flashed my score against Min-Jeong's.
Win - aw come on oppa
Y/N - four to one, you put up a good fight this time Min-Jeongie
Ning - oppa, you know it's nice to let a girl win
Y/N - but not me, because you're all sick of me
With a sarcastic remark, distracted by flaunting my cocky expression to Ning and to the other two, failing to notice Min-Jeong softly punching me on my chest making me laugh.
Win - meanie.
Placing my hand on top of Min-Jeong's face, ruffling her hair while she continued her assault on me
Y/N - hey at least you're better at the other games than me
Kar - technically no
Giselle - I second that, you know me and Ning are better
Y/N - get on the punching machine then, I'd still beat you
Kar - rocket punch Jimin is still inside of me you know
Y/N - doesn't work on me though
Giselle - that's because you pulled about thirty more kilos of weight and pure muscle
Y/N - hey, it was a good idea to tell me to join the athletic club, never felt more light than ever.
The blaring rings of the arcade machines around us, the shouts of both children and adults having fun alongside teens our age, it was just a normal day like no other.
Good thing it was a weekend too.
Min-Jeong eventually stopped her assault on me, opting to my arm around her shoulder, giving her a side hug while she pouted as we walked to our next machine
Y/N - how's that thing going on with you Aeri?
Giselle - boring as usual, you pass your last test by the way?
Y/N - horrible, barely passed the passing grade, what about you Ning?
Ning - I- uhm-
Kar - easy on the girl, her Korean is still kind of getting there
Ning - I'm trying unnie!
We all laughed, turning my head to kiss Min-Jeong on the forehead before letting go of her.
Win - see that?! I got a kiss from oppa!
Kar - so? He kisses me differently
Giselle&Ning - we know
The two girls groaned, somewhat over the affection I give to Jimin since we do show it in front of them all the time
Kar - if you're gonna give Min-Jeong a kiss, at least give the girls one
Giselle - feeling like sharing today?
Kar - come on, you know we're all practically sharing at this point, I just have more of an advantage on the other parts
Giselle - sure man sure
Y/N - using English on her Aeri is gonna confuse her again
Giselle - so what?
Me and Aeri immediately got into speaking English, the three being confused by our conversation
Y/N - dude, you got something you want to share with them?
Giselle - that I want to spend a night with you other than Jimin? Yeah
Y/N - you know it ain't like that between us
Giselle - friends can kiss and you know, share some saliva.
Y/N - okay yeah, but you talk to her about it.
Giselle - alright
We both get out of switching English where Min-Jeong and Jimin turn to me curious on what we were talking about but Ning just stayed silent since we just exchanged two languages in a span of a few minutes and it was just short circuiting her
Win - what'd you guys talk about?
Kar - yeah?
Y/N - just some banter
Kar - didn't sound like it
Y/N - alright just some shit you gotta talk to her about
Kar - me?
Y/N - when she brings it up to you next time
Kar - alright
Win - unnie let me kiss oppa
Kar - where?
Win - lips?
Kar - go for it
Giselle - OH SO SHE CAN!?
We all stopped, Aeri shouting in English all of a sudden with a funny remark making me laugh softly as I put my hand on Min-Jeong's cheek making her blush red
Y/N - it's Min-Jeong, come on
Giselle - fine, I expect mine in the next few business days
Y/N - got it diva
Leaning into Min-Jeong with Aeri rolling her eyes and crossing her arms with a faint smile on her face, pulling her in for a soft yet short kiss, exchanging a few tugs at the lips before pulling away
Ning - eh what's happening?
Kar - don't worry about it my cutie
Walking over to Ning, she hugs her, wrapping her arms around her neck, smiling proudly
Y/N - happy?
Win - yep.
A cute adorable quiet response to me made me ruffle her hair again before all of us started to walk again towards the next machine in sight that interested us
*a few hours later during the night*
Laying in bed with Jimin in my arms, the both of us staring out at the ceiling, my hand caressing her hair gently.
Passing cars acting sort of like background noise for the both of us, the smell of the room somewhat improving since spraying cologne all over since I noticed that it smelled funky for some reason.
Y/N - well, today was great
Kar - yeah.
Y/N - did you really not mind me kissing Min-Jeong?
Kar - yeah, you kissed Aeri before
Y/N - oh right, I forgot
Kar - we have a weird relationship
Y/N - you tell me, I think a couple of our classmates caught us earlier, I got a text like an hour ago with a picture of all of us at the arcade from the window
Kar - huh
Y/N - yeah
Kar - they're just jealous that's all
Y/N - definitely, got a word on your guy's schedules around your birthday?
Kar - I think we're free, we got like a break so we can actually go to Daejeon
Y/N -I think it'll be nice don't you think?
Kar - a week away from our parents in a rented house? For sure, what do you wanna do when we go there?
Y/N - you know me, I don't got an answer yet but I'll give it to you the day before we go
Kar - hehe you're so stupid
Y/N - better to worry about it later than right now while we're all cuddled up like this
Kar - what'd I do to deserve you?
Y/N - nothing really, just a single push in the schoolyard and a banged up lip to make us meet
Kar - you were an asshole when you were younger you know that right?
Y/N - so were all little kids, no honour among thieves
Kar - uh huh.
Closing our eyes, hugging her closer to me where her face faced my neck, her warm hot breath giving me the chills.
Kar - you know.
Y/N - yeah?
Kar - I've been thinking about something.
Y/N - go on
Kar - about if I don't end up debuting
Y/N - you'll make it, I swear
Kar - but what if I don't?
Y/N - hm, maybe we could get an apartment together then? Go to college?
Kar - seriously though
Y/N - okay okay, then I don't know. How come you're worried about this all of a sudden?
Kar - because we're getting older Y/N. You're eighteen next month
Y/N - are we using the universal age now?
Kar - but that's because that's the age you're just an adult. And it scares me a bit
Y/N - I know, but nothing will change. Maybe I'll mature, grow some stubble, get some chair on my chest after all
Kar - you already do
Y/N - but not like I'm Keith Richards or something
Kar - who?
Y/N - never mind but you know what I mean, it's just you're older at the end of the day
Kar - but you can still change, what if you leave me?
Y/N - me leaving you? Hell no like that's gonna happen, I wouldn't even LET that happen
Kar - but I'm still scared either way
Holding her close to me, putting my cheek against her forehead, slightly smiling.
Y/N - you can be scared all you like but I'll be right there by you, always and forever even if somehow maybe we've disconnected from each other. If I ever needed someone I really needed at any moment, I'll always think about you and that's by my heart.
I heard her giggle to herself, feeling a kiss on my lips before feeling her head go back down to my neck.
Kar - I won't leave you. I promise and cross my heart.
Y/N - well then, buckle up because you're gonna have to get used to me being balls deep and you and two other girls
Kar - shut up
She chuckled again, pushing me gently on the chest before embracing each other fully.
Kar - you know, I wouldn't really care. As long as we get married first and then you can fuck Aeri and Min-Jeong to your heart's content
Y/N - i- it was a joke-
Kar - oh. Well I'm not watching, just bring me in too and we can go full circle
Y/N - sometimes I wonder why I say this shit without thinking
Kar - and that is why one of the reasons I love you
Y/N - what's the others?
Kar - dunno, there's hundreds of them
Y/N - well shit, I'll work harder to know them then
Solemn embrace of the night, our relationship set in stone. I wonder what comes forth for the both of us from here on out.
â-----
*Present day, 2025*
Y/N - yeah we were both pretty weird when we were teens
Kar - you'd still fuck Aeri in a heartbeat though
Y/N - nope, I'm a changed man
Kar - what if Haewon and Seulg allowed you to?
Y/N - erm-
Pulling at the hem of my shirt, she busted out laughing, smacking my shoulder
Kar - you would wouldn't you?
Y/N - I mean-
Kar - Min-Jeong too again?
Y/N - okay you got me, have to admit. It's hard being sought after like a goddamn fine piece of china
Kar - if seventeen year old you could look at twenty four year old you now
Y/N - he'd be way more happier
Kar - and you know what, having four girls wanting you isn't a bad thing
Y/N - kind of is, makes me Tony Stark
Kar - but he's like?
Y/N - comic version, Jinae is definitely gonna know all of the origins of every superhero by the time she's thirteen
Kar - really now?
Glaring at me with dagger eyes, I laughed softly, my hand lifting from under the couch to lay flat on her hair, caressing it gently. Bringing back some nostalgia.
She hummed quietly, feeling content with my touch causing her to ease up on me.
Kar - I didn't keep that promise after all
Y/N - and I've kept mine
Kar - well we didn't expect it, and you've helped me out so much.
Y/N - yeah, but I did it because I love you, and you did too because you felt the same
Kar - yeah, I did.
Y/N - It's hard to sacrifice something for love even if it means your own.
Kar - but you didn't sacrifice ours.
Y/N - It only bought me a time lost between you and I and Jinae, but you're here so that doesn't really matter anymore. We're together again just not in the way we used to be but it's good enough.
Kar - yeah....
The tv still blaring in the background, my focus still onto the ceiling. Turning my head down to look at her, where she noticed my presence and looked up as well.
Kar - I'm not going to leave you again, you or Jinae
Y/N - cross your heart this time?
Kar - cross my heart and strike me to die if I break it again because nothing will get in between us again.
Y/N - well, you got a lot of unpacking to do. Do you ever plan to move out of the dorm?
Kar - I do, you wouldn't mind me moving in right?
Y/N - I'm gonna need a bigger place
Kar - what about a house?
Y/N - maybe, got some money saving up for that since Haewon and Seulg came around
Kar - I'll chip i-
Y/N - no, one thing you need to know that's changed about me. I work without shortcuts, if it's really tough times I'll take it but it's good for Jinae to look up when she grows older.
Kar - oh. I get it, wouldn't want her to be like a brat when she grows up, acting like she's got a silver spoon given to her since birth
Y/N - exactly
Kar - I don't think we'll have to worry about that right now
Y/N - but eventually we will
Kar - all three of us, christ Y/N. maybe you were right, maybe having three girls in your life who love you romantically is a hard thing
Y/N - huh? Who's the third?
Kar - me? Obviously.
Sitting up out of surprise from what she said, she laid still on my stomach but slowly sat up herself, putting herself on my lap.
Y/N - woah woah hey, we haven't kissed or had sex in years relax now
Kar - yeah but I still love you that way
Y/N - that's what you meant by loving me?
Kar - isn't it obvious?
Y/N - you have not made a move on me since we reconnected
Kar - it's kind of hard when one, Haewon or Seulgi or both and Jinae is around. This is our first time alone since the cafe
Y/N - true
Kar - you don't feel the same?
Y/N - I sort of do, I've been thinking about it.
Kar - then it wouldn't be a problem if I put my lips on yours right now then?
Y/N - I mean no- WAIT- listen, we have to talk to Haewon and Seulgi about it
Kar - fine. But let me at least kiss you and you know- since we have time
Raising her eyebrows repeatedly in a seductive fashion, my heart pounding as I closed my eyes tightly, clenching my face in self control before sighing and opening my eyes again.
Y/N - fuck fine, two rounds and that's it. It's been fifteen since they left so make good use of the time
Kar - finally. Come here tiger.
Jumping on top of me, pushing me down against the couch, planting her lips against mine where I didn't fight back.
Maybe I still do love that way,
In the sort of love we had in our teens and throughout our life.
Wild and young but a good thing to know was that we still are.
I should really keep my libido in check,
It's not long until a 'Daejeon' happens again
