HUNTER. || KSJ

TWENTY-FIVE

When I woke up the next morning, I still found myself to be safely in his arms, my face still resting on his chest, where I'd put it after our kiss had ended.

Our kiss.

I still felt the massive amount of butterflies fly through my stomach, just thinking back about that moment which - I was pretty sure - had stopped time for its entire duration, making the world - at least mine - revolve only around the both of us. Part of me wasn't surprised about these sudden feelings that were unleashed in my body; but a whole different part of me was shocked. Sure, the man was attractive - everyone could see that - and sure, I'd never felt this good around someone in my life, but it was as if I didn't fully grasp the depth of my feelings; as if I - somehow - tried to protect myself from harm, not wanting my feelings to be one-sided and therefore not allowing myself to feel the true extent of them.

I could stare at him for hours. I couldn't take my eyes off him. I let my eyes glide over his fair skin, with his beautiful, long eyelashes and his plump, soft lips. The longer I looked at him, the more I was mesmerised by the true and effortless beauty that was Kim Seokjin. I liked this man, so much, to the point that I was almost thankful my parents went missing that day.

My parents. Yes, if that weird day hadn't taken place - if they would've never disappeared, if everything had stayed the way it always had been - I was pretty sure I wouldn't have met these seven men; not ever. I would've lived my life the way normal people would, without all the knowledge I had now, without my new friends and - most importantly - without Jin.

I woke up from my daydream by the noises of the other person waking up. Next to me, Jin groaned, having trouble opening his eyes, having to adjust to the sunlight. His arms wrapped tighter around me, pulling me closer to him as he yawned before fully opening his eyes. I looked at him looking around my room, remembering what had happened the evening before.

'Good morning.' He eventually said.
'Good morning.'
'We passed out after, didn't we?'
'Yes, we did.' He stayed silent for a little bit, and so did I, not really knowing how to bring the situation up. All of a sudden, I was afraid of the conversation I knew we needed to have. I realised that, yes, I may have loved every single second of it, and yes, I may have started to develop genuine feelings for him, but there was a fair chance that he didn't see it that way at all. What if he didn't feel the same way? What if, to him, this was all a mistake?

'I'm sorry ab- I mean, About yesterday...' I could see his ears turn a deeper shade of red with every word he spoke.
'You're... sorry?' I whispered back, making his ears darken even more.
'Well, not about kissing you... More about the idea that I took advantage of you when you were sa-' I didn't even let him finish. Instead, I planted my lips back onto his, not even caring about morning breath. It took him a couple of seconds to realise what was happening, but when he finally did, I felt his hands gently stroke my back as he happily kissed me back.

'Don't even go there, Kim Seokjin.' I softly said when our lips finally parted again, making him smile.
'Does this mean...'
'Yes.'
'So you-'
'-like you too, yes.' That made him smile. His joyful facial expression, however, quickly changed into a serious one.

'Maybe we shouldn't tell everyone yet... You know how the guys can be... And, well, maybe we should figure this out first...'
'Sounds good.'
'And maybe we should - I don't know - have a little date together.'
'A date?'
'Yeah, like, watch a movie, or something? I don't know. I can cook us something.'
'We both know that if you enter the kitchen, at least one hungry soul will suddenly appear and follow you around until he gets some food too, right?' In my mind, I could already see Taehyung walk in only to stand right next to us, waiting for us to offer him food as well.

Jin chuckled, clearly also thinking about the younger man.

'Maybe we just watch that movie, then.'
'Movie sounds good.'

We stayed in bed for a little bit, just enjoying the fact that we could now spend time together like this and when we eventually got hungry, we decided to just get up, freshen up and make food. Jin left my room first, both to get himself into some clean clothes and to let me change into something new as well.

When I entered the kitchen minutes later, I found Jimin and Taehyung bickering over some dumplings while Jungkook sat next to them eating ramen, somewhat in peace. Hoseok was sipping an iced americano while leaning on the counter, watching the drama that was taking place at the dinner table. I greeted him, waving back at Jungkook as well - who had been waving at me the moment he saw me come in.

'Good morning.' Hoseok said, turning away from the 95'ers little quarrel. 'How did you sleep?'
'I got a good rest. Great even.' And an even better time waking up.
'Oh? That's good to hear.' He smiled. 'Coffee?'
'I wouldn't say no to that. Have you eaten something yet or shall I make you something as well?'

Five minutes later, I was making enough food to feed a small army. As soon as I'd asked Hoseok if he wanted some food too, the two bickering boys had stopped their discussion, immediately looking in my direction. Besides them, I decided to make some extras just in case Jungkook had some room left in his stomach, or in case - I don't know - Jin decided he wanted to eat something too.

I was floating somewhere around cloud nine the entire day, exchanging secret looks with Jin whenever we could, trying to act somewhat normal. Still, I was happy to - eventually - knock on the door to Jin's bedroom, knowing that in there, there would be no pretending anymore.
