Chapter 34 : Jiminah

"Kie?"

"Yeah?" Kiaraa turned to Taehyung from the computer seat.

"I discussed with Se-Jin, we're going to make a statement. I need to know if you're on board with it."

"Sure, Tae, tell me." She walked over to him and sat next to him on his couch, gently arranging his curls.

"Se-Jin says it's best to deny our relationship for now. I agreed with him at first, I mean the first time he mentioned it I said okay, but talking about it yesterday, after dating you for three months, I don't want to deny any of it. I want to tell the world that I'm dating you." Kiaraa smiled, licking her lips and pursing them, she thought for a second.

"It's okay. I'm okay with it. I would love to announce publicly that I'm yours and that you're mine, but we've been going through some very harsh critics and comments lately, still. People are waiting for a statement. If you state that we're dating, then, another wave of hate will crash over all of us, if you deny it, people will keep sending hate out of spite or mad because they were wrong, but that second option will last less long. So..."

"You're 100% fine with it?" Taehyung made sure.

"I'm not 100% fine with it, because as we both said, we'd both like to go public. But it's too risky for now."

"But when do you think we'll be able to announce it?" Taehyung asked, his hand gently rubbing her thigh.

"I don't know..." Maybe ask Se-Jin to make the statement slightly ambiguous or make it a little bit open so that when we feel people are ready, then we'll make another statement and announce that we're together."

"Mmm...okay. I'll inform Se-Jin about all that." He took his laptop and emailed Se-Jin, sharing with him the thoughts he and Kiaraa just had.

"Oh, and for Christmas, did your family answer? My parents told me that it's probably not very prudent with COVID, so I'll be staying here."

"My dad called me this morning to tell me the same." Taehyung admitted disappointed.

"I'm so sorry...I really hoped you'd go." Taehyung looked up.

"You don't want to spend Christmas with me?" He raised his eyebrows.

"Mm, no. Not really. I thought I'd steal your flat for good. Then I'd invite friends, guys..." She laid back in the couch, flirting.

Taehyung didn't miss it and swiftly positioned himself on top of Kiaraa.

"Ha...I think you need a reminder of who owns this place and everything that is in here." Taehyung said teasingly, leaning closer, removing the strands of hair from her face and neck. Kiaraa smiled, happy to be getting exactly what she wanted. She could feel her body heating up, and shivering with anticipation as Taehyung's warm breath fanned her face.

He intertwined his fingers with Kiaraa's and held her hand above her head, moving his body closer to hers.

"Hi guys!"

"Damn it, Jiminah..." Taehyung cursed, falling back on the couch. "It's the fourth time! In three months! That you walk in on us."

Taehyung was mad but couldn't help laughing. Jimin really seemed to have a perfect timing.

"Sorry, we're you guys about to do some nasty things?" Jimin said with a smirk, wiggling his eyebrows. "I'm happy I arrived then and not sooner. Wouldn't want to see that." He sent a wink to Kiaraa who helped him with the bags of food.

"Yah, Jiminah, I'm going to change the code to this apartment." Taehyung announced.

"You can. I figure it out every time." Jimin smiled happily.
