Temptation [ Min Yoongi | ENG ]

S E V E N T Y N I N E

I was on his lap, my legs straddling him. Our T-shirts had long been abandoned on his living room floor.

"We can take it easy, Roosje." He spoke in my ear, his voice breathless.

"I'm fine with this." I replied, processing his words. "Do you want to take it easy?" I moved away to watch his face. A red shade different from the heat of the moment dominated his face and he offered me a weak smile.

"The last person I slept with was you." He explained it to me.

"What?" I pulled back slightly, sitting on his knees, but not getting out of his lap.

"The last person I slept with was you." He repeated it and then read my face. "I didn't have sex with Jimin. We only kissed a few times, actually." He looked down at the space between us.

"Ah." I replied, a little confused about how it happened between two adults who dated. "And how did you do in the meantime?"

"It took me a lot of handjobs." He laughed, causing me to laugh too.

"I'm going to keep kissing you, okay? We'll see where this is going."

I was looking for an answer on his face when he pulled me back to him.

>>>><<<<

I woke up feeling overwhelmed by the warmth of the comforter and removed it completely from over my body. I looked to the side and Yoongi slept with his body facing me.

I slid to the edge of the bed and sat down, ready to get up. I felt his fingers brush the base of my spine and I turned to look at him. His eyes were even smaller on his sleep-swollen face. His peach hair pointed in all directions. I smiled at him as I stood up.

"Hey!" His lazy voice sounded hoarse after so many hours of not being used.

"I'm just going to pee, I'll be right back."

"Do you need to take your medicine?" He said, looking at the time on his cell phone.

"No, I stopped taking it in August." I said a few minutes later, coming back to the room. "I was discharged from medication."

"This is good news." He took me in his arms. "How are you feeling without it?"

"Well. It's been two years of ups and downs, but I think I stopped taking it on the right time. I still have the rescue medicine with me, but I haven't had to use it yet."

"Hm..." He murmured appreciatively, sighing against my hair. "That's great."

"Yeah." I whispered against his chest, tickling him.

I put on my clothes from the night before when we finally got out of bed. Somehow, being with him seemed to have gotten better. He showed me so much lust and so much love that I couldn't leave that house without believing his words.

I was smoking seated at his patio table, fully dressed, wearing one of his slippers, when he sat next to me.

"Roos." He demanded my attention. His voice was no longer so calm. "I may be rushing it, but from our background I think it makes sense for me to tell you this now."

"What's it?" I was alarmed, but I saw a small box in his hand and I recognized it.

"I know I said that we can take it easy and that we don't have to pick up where we left off. But I also told you that I want to do things differently this time."

"Yes...?" I didn't know whether to look at his face or his hands.

"Roos, you are the most beautiful person I have ever met in my life, not just physically. I don't think I'll ever get tired of saying that. But it was your physical beauty that caught my attention. You have a mystery in your features, you have gray eyes that confuse and trap me inside. I mean, you have blue eyes, you have green eyes, you have gray eyes..." He started to say and I didn't quite understand where he was going. "I never met anyone quite like you before... and now I'm not just talking about physical aspects. You will always be my partner, my companion, my best friend, my home... But I want it to be clear too, if you want to be all of this to me, that you are my girlfriend."

"Yoongje... "I sang his name, for lack of words. His gaze on mine was almost desperate, begging for an answer. "I want to," I said and saw his expression transform. The smile we shared there at that moment, the smile I saw, will be etched on my mind forever.

"So do you accept the necklace?" he said, after placing the box between us. "I still want to be with you always." He said, a little awkwardly. The apprehension stamped on his face was almost cute.

"Yes, I do." I said softly, letting him pick it up and lean towards me to lock it around my neck.

"I think you better lift your hair, it's too long, the clasp can get stuck." He said softly, his voice next to my ear. I followed your instructions.

"I need a haircut." I said while he finished his job.

"Are you going to shave it?" He said laughing.

"I considered it, before you suggested it. But now I'm not going, so you won't think I did it just because of you." I mocked.
