4 days before the Jeju island trip

"So... It's not because of me, right?"

"Not at all," I repeated for the hundredth time.

Taehyung frowned, his hands busy on the kitchen counter.

I squatted down, pouring some premium croquettes for Yeontan. The little dog yapped with happiness, running towards his bowl.

"It has nothing to do with us getting together?" I heard his worried voice behind me again.

I turned to him, my hands on my hips.

"Again, no," I answered with all the patience I could find. "I told you I was already thinking about it before we got back together."

I tousled his hair and he slowly nodded back.

Still, I could see him overthinking it. I sighed, heading for the bathroom.

I started to tie my hair into a ponytail, looking at my reflection in the mirror.

I had no idea how I could make him believe me.

Since we came back from our romantic trip two nights ago, Taehyung kept asking me these questions. I knew he only wanted to make sure I wasn't deciding on quitting Big Hit because we were together. He didn't want his job to have any impact on mine.

But it really wasn't the case.

I cringed at the mess around Taehyung's bathroom. It really seemed like my bathroom now, with all my beauty stuff spread all around.

I threw away some cotton pads in the trash... and noticed the many used condoms in it.

I cringed again.

Thanks to this weekend of reconnection, Taehyung and I really had no problem... going at it now.

And it really felt like my boyfriend was trying to make up for all the missed opportunities of last week.

My poor little coochie was hurting.

And not really because of too much sex.

"You know," I started, walking back to the kitchen where Taehyung was busy warming up our breakfast. "I think we should get tested and... stop using condoms."

Taehyung froze.

He turned on his feet to meet my eyes, a spatula in each of his hands.

"I didn't know it was an option," he answered, raising his eyebrows at me, a small smile appearing on his lips.

"Well... I take the pill and we're in an exclusive relationship, right?" I laughed, poking an eyebrow at him. "Or am I going to discover your secret lover somewhere... here?!"

And I opened wide one of the kitchen cupboards, frantically looking inside it for Taehyung's mistress.

He laughed, turning off the heat and coming to hug me.

"Then I'll ask my assistant to look where we could get tested..." he said, his hands getting lost all over my body again. "As soon as possible..."
