Temptation [ Min Yoongi | ENG ]

T H I R T Y S E V E N

I spent the day at work. I couldn't pay attention to anything. I considered calling to say I was sick, but I didn't have the courage.

My phone rang and I answered it without even looking at who it was.

"Hello?"

"Roos!" I heard your voice and my mind melted. "Roos?"

"Hi, I'm here!" I heard him laugh "Where are you now?"

"I landed just now, I'm going to pick up the luggage and go home. Will you meet me there?"

"Yes! Yes! I'm going to go straight from work, is that okay?"

"Of course!"

"See you there then."

"See you! I love you."

I kept the phone to my ear even after he hung up.

I don't know how it happened and I became the girl who sighed for him after so long being the girl who didn't want to talk to him.

I arrived at his door holding the wine and snacks he had bought on the way and he opened the door for me with a smile on his face.

He opened his arms to me and I sank into that body that was my safe haven. My face deep in his neck and his hands caressing my back. I let out a breath that should have been stuck inside me since we said goodbye.

I took off my sneakers and put on the house slipper to accompany him to the kitchen. I put the wine in the fridge and left the food on the counter. His gaze followed me wherever I went.

"How are you?"

"Still tired from the flight, but happy to be back."

He sat next to me on the kitchen island and started opening the packages of what I brought.

"How was the flight?"

"It was pleasant. Nowadays, these longer flights are comfortable even in the economy class."

"Oh good." I said leaning my head on his shoulder. "What do you want to do tonight?"

"Just chill. Do you want to watch a movie?"

He was sleeping with his head on my lap when the movie ended and I took the opportunity to watch his face. His expression was so peaceful and his mouth was slightly open. His lips were a little dry, but with a pink color that looked delicious. I couldn't resist and leaned over to kiss him.

Upon returning to my previous position I saw that he now had a smile on his face. He opened his eyes slowly, searching for my face and then raised his arm to pull me back to his mouth.

I had no intention of sleeping that night. I wanted to stay awake and listen to all of his stories.

We were lying on his bed, I was on my stomach, hugging the pillow, looking in his direction. He was lying on his back, looking at the ceiling and telling me about his stay in Daegu and his trip to Seoul.

He started by telling me details of his trip and that the meeting in Seoul was with the production company he had been working with for some time and they offered him a fixed contract as a composer, in addition to the production work he was already doing. It was an incredible opportunity and he obviously accepted it.

He was telling me about Daegu now.

"As you know, my parents came here as missionaries, so when we are in Korea they have a lot of commitments to their church."

"And do you accompany them?"

"Yes, it usually sucks, but this time it was less worse."

"Why?" I straightened up on the bed, turning my whole body toward him.

"Ah, this time I met, I mean, I met again with other Koreans who also came here because their parents are missionaries in the Netherlands too."

"That's nice! I didn't know this was a common thing!"

"It really isn't much, but this other family came here shortly after we came." He gave me a look, but then he looked back at the ceiling. "I remember them in my childhood. They are two brothers, Taehyung and Jimin."

"And didn't you keep in touch?"

"No. My biggest act of rebellion towards my parents was choosing to leave the church at the age of 12. After that, I never saw them again."

The conversation went on for some time, but in the early hours of the morning his tiredness was evident.

I snuggled closer to him and he kissed my forehead, but he didn't hug me.

Together, but apart, we fell asleep.
