MYG | Temptation in the Dark | Yoongi x Reader (female)

Chapter 16

"Alright."

There's nothing we can do about it if the carriage can't move in this weather.

Just as I nodded my assent, another terrible peal of thunder boomed, rattling the windows.

This is the first bad storm I've experienced since I came here. It's really different from back home!

The coachman helped us out of the carriage and escorted us to an inn near the entrance of town.

We stepped into the warmth of the inn, filled with its homey smells, greeted by a friendly innkeeper and his wife.

"Two rooms? I'm terribly sorry, but we only have one available tonight." - "What?" - "Is there another inn nearby?" - "Well, yes, but you see, they're all full, too. On account of the festival and all."

Oh, that's right, the festival! We'll be hard-pressed to find other lodgings, then.

Still, the thought of sharing the same room with Yoongi made me incredibly nervous.

"We shall take the single, then, assuming it's a decent room."

We will?!

----------

I followed Yoongi inside and he shut the door behind us while I took in my surroundings. The room was very nice, in fact.

The only problem was that there was just the one bed, a fact that made my heart pound louder than the rain outside.

It's only natural. Anyone would be nervous to share a room with someone they have feelings for, right?

I told myself that to try to calm myself down, but unfortunately it backfired and only made me blush more.

I lingered uneasily by the door, unsure of where to go or what to say.

Yoongi didn't seem nervous at all as he stripped off his jacket and hung it up on a hook.

I watched as his capable fingers reached up to loosen his collar, feeling myself gulp.

Remain calm, remain calm... but he always looked so buttoned up an proper, seeing him relaxed with his shirt loosened made my pulse race like crazy.

"You should take off your wet clothes, too. You'll get pneumonia." - "...R-Right."

I can't tear my eyes away from him, though...

It was my first time seeing him like this, casual and dressed down.

I had to force myself to look away so I wouldn't think about it as I took off my coat which was heavy with rain.

Even though I was a jumble of nerves, Yoongi looked quite relaxed as he took a seat on the bed.

"Why are you standing around? Sit down, why don't you?" - "...Right."

I answered faintly, but I still wasn't able to settle in one spot, so instead I stared into the mirror above the dresser.

"The driver said he would be staying at a friend's house tonight, but would meet us here in the morning to take us home." - "Right..."

How in the world am I going to handle an entire night of this?!

"Ahem."

Yoongi cleared his throat, crossing his legs and I was extremely aware that he was staring at me.

I fidgeted under his violet gaze, restlessly smoothing down my skirts.

"W-What is it?" - "All you've said since we got here is 'right' and I'm starting to wonder if you've suddenly forgotten 99% of your vocabulary." - "I have not!"
