BTS-que

Abrupt confession

"Get off her, Namjoon." His voice resounds through the office and he has never meant something this much in his life before. RM and Aria look startled at him and he walks in big steps towards the duo. He pulls RM off her and lifts her up, bridal style. After glancing once more at RM he turns around and leaves with her. She is struggling, afraid to leave things unfinished with RM, and thus risking her career. She is struggling but he keeps holding her firmly. When they pass the neon sign, he finally looks at her. She is hitting him on his chest. He takes her behind the bar and into the storage basement, away from everyone. He places her on top of a few kegs and every time she wants to escape he keeps placing her. "What do you think you are doing?" "I need to go up." "Please, this is important." She keeps relentlessly begging him. Jin closes his eyes and holds her by her shoulders. He seems to gather his strength.

"I love you." He just says, but those 3 words costed him greatly. He used all his courage to say them. She stops resisting and looks at him in surprise. "What?" "I love you. And because of that, I hate seeing you in the arms of some other man. I've waited too long, you've been corrupted already beyond repair, seeing as how you easily threw yourself at RM. I don't know what to do with you anymore. I love you, but I kind of don't want to love you anymore. So please, just... please... stop confusing me..." His voice carried a slight hint of despair. He sounded tired at the same time, as if he has been fighting a lonely fight for a long time, to no end. He isn't making any eyecontact with her. She softly rises his head by cupping it and forcing him to look straight at her. "How long did you love me for?" "I... I can't remember. I think it might have been love at first sight, but I'm not sure." "So why didn't you tell me sooner?" "I...I... couldn't. I didn't know... at first. But the moment you started dating other men... It popped up like an annoying mosquito that kept pestering me until I was almost going mad by it. So I tried hard to take my distance with you." Aria is suddenly reminded at their initial fight that drove them apart.

"So... You knew all along that I was talented, and never meant to say those hurtful things?" Jin bites his lip and nods ever so lightly. "I did that to protect you, to discourage you to keep your distance from it all. I knew what the dangers were of being a child of the night, and tried to prevent you from leaving my sight, where I atleast could keep an eye on you and make sure you didn't get too involved in the night. But it kinda worked the opposite way and I regret it so much. I just should have been honest with you. I'm sorry if I have hurted you." These are the most sincere words Aria ever heard in her entire life. She can see Jin is prideful man, with a very huge ego. It mustn't have been easy for him to confess like that. To talk about his most inner feelings like that to someone who seemed to have hurted him greatly. But since it's the most sincere words she has heard, she feels warm inside. She throws her arms around him and hugs him. "Take me home." She whispers and he burries his face in the nook of her neck, engulfing himself into her hug. "I just need to finish this shift. Stay here." And he wants to walk away.

Aria feels lightly empty when he walked away. She grabs his hand. She isn't all to sure about why she did that. But she does know that ever since the beginning, she also liked being with Jin, and accepted him and his ego for what it was. They had fun as roommates and a good chemistry. But after being in a fake love, a ulterior motive love, a physical love, she wasn't really sure if she is ready to love again. And it would be so mean of her to give him false hope. She lets go of his hand and He looks at her. He comes closer again and grabs her face with both hands. He suddenly pulls her in for a deep kiss, as if he read her mind. She wanted to see if she could love him, and that was exact the thing she needed. Her heart fluttered and she did not only get turned on by his passionate kiss, but also felt very warm and comfortable in his embrace. His tongue was stroking hers lovingly and she could feel all his love being poured into the kiss.

When their lips part, both are gasping for air and she immediately misses it. Not just his lips on hers, but the intimacy, the connection, the rawness and pureness of the feelings that got ping ponged between them, back and forth. Their eyes met and are both burning with a passion as if they are linked spirits. "Wait a little longer. I'll be back. I promise." And he leaves her. She is on the keg, almost even forgot about the ankle because her heart couldn't keep still. She never felt this way with any of the others. Not just a longing for his body, but also a yearning for his love. Scared as she is, she decides to open her heart one more time for this man, because she believes in his sincerity.

Jin finishes his shift and RM comes at the end. "Where is Aria?" He asks and Jin shrugs. "come on, Jinnie, she didn't walk out of here on her own." He tries to look behind the counter but Jin keeps working. "I listened to your words, Namjoon." RM raises his brow in a playful manner. "You did? Amazing. I actually have persuaded the great Jin to do something. So what, you suddenly confessed to her or what?" Jin flushes slightly. "No way." The dimples appear in his cheeks as he mumbles those words between his teeth. "Very well. I will let her go into sick leave. I will discuss her future another time." And he nods while grabbing the revenues of the bar from today to his office to count them.

After the show, Hoseok comes looking for Jin too. "Jin, where is Aria?" "She is not here. And she isn't yours anymore." "What do you mean?" Jin mans up and opens his chest to broaden his shoulders, trying to intimidate him. He places down a glass loudly and looks straight at Hoseok. He is unafraid to fight for what he has claimed at his own. "Let's say, she isn't your babe anymore. She is mine now. And I would appreciate it if you would peacefully let her go." Hobi laughs and turns serious to Jin again. "And what makes you think she is yours?" "Well, she is currently at my house, in my bed. Oh btw, this is her notice through me, that she is done with you. Broken up. So take that notice and just move on. I know you never took too long to do that before. That's part of the reason you don't want to get into a close relationship. But by doing so, you'll only keep losing your babes. Take a tip. Open up some more. As long as you don't do that, you won't be able to keep anyone." And he grabs the glass and starts to dry it, deciding on his own that this conversation is over. Hoseok can't believe Jin just owned his ass and his fists are clenched so tight with anger that the knuckles are white. But he decides to drop it. He doesn't feel like discussing his personal issues with anyone, nevermind Jin. He leaves.

After Jin finished up everything, he returns to the basement and sees that she has fallen asleep. The towel with the icecubes in has become a wet drape on her ankle and a puddle underneath her. He softly strokes her face, smiling. He carefully carries her up and to his car. He places her in the passenger seat and clicks her seatbelt on. When he arrived home, he carries her into his bed and gently places her down. "You're home now." He softly says and just as he walks away, she grabs the hem of his shirt. He turns around and sees she is awake. "I'm home." She says, but those words just seemed to make Jin so intensely happy, his face relaxes to a big smile and he can't help but lean over her to peck her. That was a mistake, the moment he leans over her, she throws her arms in his neck and pulls him closer. She opens her mouth and his tongue naturally slips in. She is longing for some intimacy that she yearned for unknowingly all this time. All this time she felt the tension between them but never acted upon it. She now knows love, and even feelings of lust. She knows better what she wants. And she wants it. Jin can feel her wanting it as her hands slide over his shirt, unbuttoning it. He pulls back. She is panting and her eyes are burning with longing. Her eyes dwindle down as she takes in the chest that belongs to those wide shoulders. She can see well hidden abs and is reminded of all the times she heard him in his room. She thought he was moaning from something sexual that he was pleasuring himself, but apparently he is the working out type.

"I'll get some more ice for your ankle." And he retires to the kitchen. In the kitchen, he leans on the sink. He isn't all to sure about it. Yes, he loves her and yes, he wants her to be his. But she has been hopping from one guy to the other. Is she truly in love with him too? Isn't she too far involved in the messed up night world? Is she messed up completely? He doesn't want to know if she moaned underneath Suga, RM or Hobi like she will do underneath him. He is scared of getting hurt again. He has never had intimacy since Yoongi ruined him. The first months he was still much in love and attached to Yoongi, who ignored him completely and flaunted with his new babes. After that, Jin started to resent him and grow hate against him. He isn't sure he wants to get involved with a second Yoongi. "I will avoid it for now, until I have settled my heart. And I will sleep on the couch."  He carries the coolpack to the bed, where he can see her, undressed, not completely showing but under the blankets, and being a tease for him. He puts the icepack on her feet and leaves again. She calls out to him. "Jin?" "I-I will sleep on the sofa. Get some sleep." And he clicks off the light and closes the door. He is secretly grateful she has twisted her ankle, that way he is sure she isn't going to follow him.

She stayed in his room the whole night, pondering about it too. She longed for him, and his confession was by far the most sincere one. But she was naive in the past about guys and isn't too sure about this one either. She really wants to find out as soon as possible if they connect on all areas. But it's really hard, after that sincere confession, Jin seemed to be closed again. She falls asleep with that thought.
