Mated by the Moon (SOPE X Reader)

Chapter 9

Y/N POV:

"And this is where you will be staying." Jimin pushed open the door to the apartment and gestured for me to step inside. "If there's anything you don't like about it, let me know and we can change it. Sehun takes care of most of the repairs around our land and he's also decent with a paintbrush."

Nodding my head, I looked around the small space, surprised by how pretty it was. Jimin had explained the previous pack medical assistant, Anore, had lived here before and I was expecting some sort of bachelor pad, but it was actually lovely. The windows let in lots of sunlight and I had a great view of the sun setting over a lake, one I made a mental note to check out later. The walls were a soft silvery color that was beautiful and soothing, making me feel a little more at ease. The furniture was dark grey and looked extremely comfortable, cozy and plush, and I knew it would be a nice place to relax. "It's pretty. I like it."

Jimin squeezed my hand then turned me to face him. Releasing my hand, he cupped my cheeks, his touch soft and gentle. "It's going to be okay. You know that right?" Shrugging my shoulders, I let out a sigh, but Jimin pulled me close to him, his arms wrapping around me in a comforting hug. "It is. I promise. I know things look bad right now, that you want to leave all of this and run away, but please don't."

Pulling back, I looked up at Jimin's beautiful face, which was currently creased in worry. I knew he had said before that he felt comfortable with me, that he felt like we had known each other for longer, and I could see that he was concerned that I was going to run. As much as I missed Charon, Keyne and Seren, I knew better. Even though I didn't want to admit it, I knew where I was supposed to be, whom I was supposed to be with. I knew it was going to be hard getting used to being away from the people I had grown comfortable with, felt safe with, I wasn't going to run this time. "Don't worry. I'm... I'm not going anywhere."

Jimin studied my face for a moment then nodded. "Okay. I trust you." Jimin patted me then released me. "Why don't you go look around? I will check the kitchen. See if there are any groceries. I know there won't be any fresh produce, meat or dairy, but I'll see what needs to be stocked up on."

"Sounds good to me." As Jimin headed into the kitchen, I walked down the short hallway, studying the three doors. The same silvery color was throughout and I really liked how soothing it made the whole place feel. One door led to a little bathroom with a toilet and sink off the hallway, one I figured was probably a guest bathroom. The second door was a linen closet, stocked with towels and extra paper products. The final door led to the bedroom and I was once again surprised how pretty it was. It didn't have the silvery color, but a soft blue that was stunning. The bed was large with a thick dark blue comforter and the carpet under my socked feet was plush and almost felt like walking on cloud. I pushed open one of the two doors and found a walk-in closet that was bigger than my old one. The other door led to a nice sized bathroom, complete with jetted tub and a glass-encased shower.

Pleased with the room, I exited and headed back down the hall to the kitchen. Jimin was standing at the counter, a piece of paper and pen in hand, and I could see he had already started a list. He looked up as I came in, a grin on his face. "Hey. There are some dry goods in the cabinets, rice, noodles, and things like that. Is there anything you don't like?"

I shook my head. "Nah. I'm not too picky. I like pretty much everything." Jimin nodded and went back to his list, adding a couple more things before folding it up and sticking it in the pocket of his jeans.

"Alright. How's the rest of the apartment? Is it okay for you?" Jimin looked around at the kitchen, gesturing vaguely. "Anore was very particular about paint colors, but if you don't like it, we can get Sehun in here."
