Tall Coffee Boi 《Soobin × OC》

Chapter 53

How can the conversation and atmosphere be so casual when I'm literally talking to BTS?

It's been almost an hour since we got here and I met BTS, now we're all just sitting around in our own conversations.

My nervousness from before has gone away, partly because the atmosphere of this apartment is so welcoming and friendly that it's hard to feel outcasted. And partly because Soobin has been next to me holding my hand the whole time.

Even when we were eating the meal Seokjin prepared, he sat next to me at the table and tried to comfort me when I was getting nervous.

Now throughout this whole time of talking in the living room, Soobin has been next to me on the couch while the members ask questions about my life.

They actually didn't know as much as I thought they would, considering that they said the boys talk about me all the time. But it's still nice for them to ask about where I'm from, and the slight surprise they showed when I said I left my home town all by myself was also surprising to me.

When I mentioned that, Seokjin immediately asked how I've been caring for myself and if I've been ok living here so far. I assured him I was fine, but his instinct to ask that shows the motherly act that some ARMYs talk about sometimes.

In the midst of the talking, Soobin nudged my shoulder to get my attention. When I look over he grabs my hand and leads me out of the living room. I look back to see everyone watching Seokjin questioing Kai about something. Something about his school or a project?

Soobin leads us to the apartment balcony, which is actually pretty big. Outside are some pots for plants and a few lounge chairs and normal cushioned seats. I'm guessing those are used in the warmer months, the winter isn't the best time to be lounging outside.

When we step outside, Soobin goes forward and lends against the ledge of the balcony. I follow and stand next to him.

After a second of looking around he turns to me.

"So what do you think?"

"About what?"

"The people you met today."

"Oh. I never would have thought you guys knew BTS. I might not be an official fan, but I was still starstruck when I realised who I was meeting."

He nods and laughs a bit.

"Yeah, we probably should have prepared you a little better. But I was right."

"How?"

"When we were at your dorm the day you were sick, I told you that you might be shocked at first then everything would be casual. I was right."

I roll my eyes and stare back out to the other apartment buildings. I this area looks so much nicer from this view, now you can see the expensive looking houses and cars that spread around the area.

Over the other buildings, I see some darker clouds rolling in. The weather did say that it might start snowing any day now.

Suddenly a gust of wind blows past making me shiver. This sweater is thick but not enough to stop cold winter wind apparently.

Soobin sees me shaking and starts fussing.

"Are you cold?"

"Just a bit, I'll be fine-"

He barely lets me finish my sentence when he places his arm around me to cover me with his bigger winter coat. I slightly turn to see his face red despite the cold, probably from me being pushed up against his side now.

"Thank .. you." I say as I adjust my stance a bit. We stand like this for a bit before the atmosphere becomes a little less awkward.

"Jihyun, I'm really glad I ran into you and spilled your coffee that day."

"Me too. Not about the coffee, but about you running into me." We both laugh.

Another gust of wind blows past. I turn and move closer to Soobin to stay warm and he does the same. When the wind passes, he moves back a little and slightly moves me to have my back to him. In my confusion, he steps back up, opens the coat, and wraps his arms around me to engulf me in a hug from behind.

Now my face is red.

After a bit, Soobin starts shifting around a bit.

"Jihyun, c-can I tell you s-something?"

"Sure, what is it?" I say trying to look up at him.

His face turns a bit more red and he smiles.

"Cute. Ah- I mean um.. I wanted to s-say ah that I-I k-kind of-"

I cut him off by quickly turning around and placing a small kiss on his cheek.

"I like you too, Soobin."

"W-what? How did you know?" He looks down at me surprised.

"I knew I liked you for a bit now. And yesterday, part of the reason I couldn't sleep is because I was putting the pieces together. I never looked too deep into things before, but I realised your actions meant you probably felt the same. No one would protect me and care for me like you do after just meeting me a couple of months ago."

I had been thinking about everything while trying to sleep, and when Soobin kept by my side all day today, my thoughts were proven right even further.

He looks down at me then back up. He smiles and looks all around as if he was trying to find what to do next.

After panning back and forth a few times he looks back down at me.

"I- Ha. I-I can- I mean. C-can I k-kis-"

I shake my head at his stuttering and pull Soobin down to my level by his shirt collar.

He slightly falls forward from my pulling him and he lands into the kiss. I see him widen his eyes then relax and smile into the kiss after a second.

While still under the coat, he wraps his arms around my waist to pull me closer and I grab more onto his shirt.

From behind Soobin, we hear shushing and small voices.

We pull back from each other and look over to see the boys crowded around the door with BTS behind them. When they realise we noticed them, all of BTS except Seokjin run while the boys stay in their spot.

I give them a 'seriously?' look, and they all smile.

"You're doing great, sweety."

"How long did it take for them to confess?"

"Fricking finally!"

"Kai! Don't curse!"

I turn and bury my face into Soobin's chest to hide from the guys and he pulls me closer. Soobin smiles and turns even more red from people watching us while his hand goes up to into my hair.

We hear Seokjin ushering the boys out of the door frame and back to the living room.

Soobin looks back to see if they had left, then turns back to face me.

He leans down again to come closer to my ear.

"Jihyun, will you be my girlfriend?"

A/N
My guys, it's done! Well, kind of. The epilogue (and thank you note) will be posted later today, but for the basic story, it's done.

I think this chapter was ok? It might have been a little rushed, but I don't think it's bad for my first time writing something like this.

I'm so happy to finally have this fully completed and out for people to see, I hope you enjoyed this story if you made it this far.

Love you guys! 💛💙💛💙💛
