Coffee or Whiskey || Yoongi/Suga FF

XLVI-The Start of Something New

Maybe out of habit, Y/N pinched herself.
"Ouch!"

"What did you do this time?" Yoongi run to her side to check on her.

"I just pinch my hips to make sure I am awake." She's rubbing the side she pinched and Yoongi checked it.

"What makes you think you are dreaming?" He sound annoyed but supressed it.

"Well, the last time you said something similar, or sounded similar, I was so disappointed."

She looked away then continued "But I just realized it was my mistake. I assumed things-" she sighed "-when you haven't even finished ypur sentence."

"What do you mean?" He had a very confused look on his face.

"I know... I know... It was my bad... I was in the wrong. I'm so sorry..." she again met his gaze as he apologizes.

"I need you to tell me what exactly is this event. I am not good agt deciphering things." Yoongi held her hands tightly and guided her to sit again.

He's standing in front of her waiting for an explanation still on hand holding hers while the other inserted in his pocket.

"Remember that morning we were at the mess hall? That day you stuttered. The day I thought you were about to... Uhmmm... To... " she can't seem to continue. She's still too embarrassed of her assumption.

"To what?" Unintentionally, his voice wasn't pleasing when he let out those words. "I'm sorry. I'm just having a terrible headache." his hand that was in his pocket is now rubbing his temple.

Y/N continued "Well, I thought you were about to confess. Then you said something else. I got irritated and I think I saw you smirk since you saw how it affected me." she's looked up at him with doe eyes while biting her lower lip.

Yoongi immediately opened his eyes, his lashes flutter, trying to recall what transpired that day. "Holly, my dog! That? I didn't know that would cause a misunderstanding..."

He sat straight. Looked at one side then back to her. He scratch his nape and placed both hands in his pocket. "Uhm... I was about to tell you actually. But -" he looked heavenward then back to Y/N "-for some reason, I lost all the courage I had."

He again looked at her intently... "I'm really sorry
.."

He closed the distance between them and hugged her placing her face on his chest. He then kissed her hair then her forehead... He cupped her cheeks with both hands and kissed her nose.

"I won't promise anything but I'll make sure to never confuse you, or hurt you, from this day forward."

He pressed another kiss on her the lips then pulled her away to let their eyes meet. She blinked twice not knowing where it's going.

"I know you are scared of the future. I know you're worried of what others would say. I know you think you might become a hindrance to my career..."

His eyes gleam as he plastered a sweet smile on his face.

"But I assure you, I will protect you without giving up the group. However, I need you to do one thing for me."

His hand are now trembling as he slowly reached for her hand again and kissed it.

Y/N, even with creased brows, remained attentive to what Yoongi would say next.

"Please, allow me to keep up as private for now. The boys will now and the rest of the stuff. But the fans, we have to slowly introduce your exitence to them."

He held her hand tightly as if assuring her of whatever it is she needs.

"I'm sorry... But this is the only way I could keep you. I do not want to lose you nor cause the boys to lose their career. I love you so much..."

A smile escaped her lips while her eyes start the swim with tears. "Yes, I understand. I wouldn't want to get in the way of your first love. I silently wait."

Yoongi's eyes gleamed as he heard Y/N's words... "I might have saved a whole country in my past life to deserve someone like you."

He was in the brink of crying when Y/N pushed his hands away.

"What? You silly old man. I haven't even proven anything, we are barely starting, and you already say cheesy things like that?"

"You ruined the moment." He chcukled in frustration.

He grabbed her hand again.

"I don't need to wait for a lifetime being with you just to know how great of a girlfriend you will be. I've seen how you work and the sacrifices you made for us. Seeing how you work for something you love tells me how much you take care of something you value."

"What makes you think I'll take care of you, of us?" Teasing him.

His brows creased in confusion then looked up then at Y/N again... He pouted... "Does that mean you don't like me?"

Y/N let out a hearty laugh then pinched Yoongi's nose. "Really? You think I'd agreed to be hidden if I do not care?"

"I haven't heard you say you love me, yet." Pouting still while he wipes the residue of tears on her cheeks.

"I love you..." she took a deep breath "So much so that I am willing to wait no matter how long it takes. I am willing to be a secret no matter how painful it will get." This time, it's her who cupped his cheeks and gave him a quick peck on the lips.

She was about to let go but Yoongi pulled her in. He kissed her deeply but gently. She reponded and closed her eyes to completely fall to his sweet lips.

As their kiss deepens, she locked her hand around his neck. She felt him carefully pull he off her chair leading her somewhere...

She pulled away just a few inch to let their eyes meet, both burning with desire.

"I- I won't force you..." he had a worried look.

She smiled as her face brightened... Later on she turned red and nodded... "I trust you would still stay with me even after all - uhm - this..."

He chuckled before responding...
"I missed an important meeting to be with you tonight. I plotted a whole crazy plan just to be with you in the van. I was always selfless for my members but this time, I chose to be selfish. I even learnt how to steal a kiss from a sleeping beauty. Do you see the lengths I went just to be with you? And you think I'll leave you. After tonight?" He gave her a peck on the nose.

Her face lit up and she let out a bright smile. "What are we waiting for?"

She dragged him into her room giggling and he allowed her to.

***THE END***
