Angel With a Shotgun- Pentagon Yang Hongseok

"Maya?" Hongseok looks at me with the most intense stare I could ever imagine.
"Hmm?" My breath hitches in my throat.
"Can I kiss you?" his eyes trail down to my lips, then back to my eyes.
"Okay, " I respond breathily, then slowly stand on my tiptoes to reach his lips. He leans down to my height, then places his plump lips onto my lips. The sparks that flew between us were the most intense feeling that I have felt in the longest time. The slight chap of his bottom lip was rough against my lips and created a tension that would be able to be cut with a knife. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he puts his arms around my thighs, picking me up.

At 7:30 AM this morning, my alarm had woken me up and caused me to remember the night before. That kiss was intense and I wanted more. I shouldn't, it's not right. If it was right, then why am I sat with a Jung Subin, just staring up at the sky?
"You seem to have a lot on your mind, are you okay?" Subin, who was laying next to me, looked at me and asked.
"Just... confused. I came here to find a better life for myself after Thailand, but instead, I may have found a new love interest?"
"Well," Subin adjusts himself to be laying on his belly, his head propped up with his elbows. "Seems like you're in a bit of a situation. Do you like this love interest?"
"Yeah, I do. He has pretty much been there for me since I arrived in Korea. He helped me when my apartment was broken into last night, letting me stay in his apartment, and I feel... Safe with him," I stare at the cloud above me, finally realizing that I had feelings for Hongseok.
Subin stifled a chuckle, "Dude, you're in love." With that, the door to the roof opened.
"Maya?" Hongseok's voice called out before his voice drops two octaves. "Subin."
"Hongseok."
"Hongseok? Did you need something?" I sat up, holding my weight on my left hand.
"Just came to see if you wanted to hang out with the boys and me, but if you're busy, that's fine," He smiles gently.
"Sure, just give me a second," I smile back, then turn back to Subin. "Thanks for the small talk, getting me in the right mindset."
"No problem, see you around?"
"Yeah," I nod, standing to follow Hongseok.

Yanan and the other guys had been discussing something secret before turning to look like deer in headlights when I entered. They visibly let out a breath.
"You guys alright there?" I stifle a chuckle, biting the inside of my lip lightly.
"Yeah, just a little startled," Changgu smiled. I nod, then turn to Hongseok.
"You guys up for a little 'Never Have I Ever'? Those who have done it take a shot," I smirk. The males of the apartments all shout a variety of responses of "yes."
"I got the alcohol," Hyunggu started to head to the kitchen.
"Maya, do you think that's really a good idea?" Hongseok looks at me confused.
"I want to loosen up, I've had a long week," I clenched my jaw a little.
"Alright, fine, let's do this thing then," I hear Hongseok give in.

"Never have I ever... been kicked out of a bar," Maya asks everyone participating. Everyone, who were each about 20 shots deep into the game, had alcohol in their system. Changgu was oblivious & passed out on the couch next to   Hyunggu. Hongseok, Hyunggu, and Yanan took a shot to answer the question that had left Maya's lips just about a minute before.
"I'm tapping out, my head is killing me," Yanan slammed his shot glass down, placing it on the coffee table. Maya had been out of touch with what was going on since about the sixth question she asked. Every person asked a number of questions. Yuto was the least drunk out of the small group, having only had three shots out of the entire game.
"I guess I'm driving, aren't I?" He joked, no one responding because they were drunk. "Hongseok, help me get Yanan, Hyunggu, and Changgu to the car."
"I got Changgu," Maya grabbed the giggly drunk's arm and wrapped it around her shoulders.

Hongseok and I reentered the apartment after Yuto drove off with several drunk friends in tow. I stumbled a little, almost falling but Hongseok catching me. His eyes stared intensely into mine, but I break the distance between us this time. His slightly chapped lips moved against mine. He picked me up, holding my thighs to support me.
"Let's take this to the bedroom," I mumble against his lips, him nodding.
"Safeword is stop." He closed the door to his room with his foot.
