Caught In A Lie | A BTS Fanfic

CHAPTER 4

I had stepped out of the taxi, thanked the driver and I felt an emotion coming over me; it was a feeling of pure peace for the first time in a long time. It had felt overwhelming and the tears had started flowing, I had no control over them.
There was complete silence, everything around me had felt like something out of a movie and I was just so free. I had looked up the sky smiling and just let the tears fall. At some point though I had come back down to earth and some of the anxiousness returned, then I had looked down and met the eyes of the man sitting on the bench watching me.
There was an intensity in his eyes, some kind of power that stilled me where I was. I was going to walk past him into the lodge but I couldn’t move, I could barely breathe. Another tear fell and he took a step towards me, my whole body responded to him but I had to take a step back; it was too much. There was heat in my chest and I needed to breathe.
‘I’m sorry…are you okay?’
I felt his voice go through my body like a vibration, his eyes that had been watching me were like pools of honey and it was torture to look away. He was tall, even though he was wrapped up in thick winter clothes I could tell he had a gym body and my god, he was gorgeous.
‘I didn’t want to freak you out, you’ve been crying ever since you got out of the car so I just wanted to make sure you’re okay?’ He asked me again and smiled slightly making his dimples appear. I felt butterflies explode in my stomach and I took another step back. What was going on with me?
I could only nod at him, I didn’t trust myself to speak. He did the same back at me, picked up his bag and walked into the lodge. As soon as he was out of sight I let out the breath that I had been holding. I grabbed my bag and walked to the bench he had just vacated and sat down, gripping the wood to keep myself upright. What the hell had just happened? What was that reaction?
I sat for a little bit, looking around and taking in my surroundings. It really was beautiful, so much snow lay untouched and I had the urge jump into it. I smiled thinking about how I would be here for as long as I wanted to be, no one was waiting for me or calling me to order me around or tell me that I was making a big mistake. I mean yeah, of course my phone was still off but regardless…this felt amazing.
I shook off the memory of whatever had just happened with that guy and walked inside to check in. He was no where to be seen, he must have already checked in and left to go to his cabin. The inside of the lodge was beautiful, warm and inviting with fairy lights hanging from the ceiling. There was a fireplace and big arm chairs surrounding it. It was just so cozy, I felt at home straight away. 
The check in process was simple, the staff all smiling and helpful. I was told that there were two other people in my cabin and another was arriving in a few days. I was given instructions on how to use the amenities and how to arrange tours or how to order a taxi. There was WiFi available, snacks in each cabin and coffee whenever I needed it. I loved this place already.
I told the girl serving me that I would walk to my cabin, she smiled and told me that everyone normally did that instead of taking the caddy. As I walked over in the winter sun I could feel that this was a good decision. Leo wouldn’t bother me here, even though I doubt he would even want to and none of my family would think that I would come to a place like this. I was excited to start relaxing and doing nothing.
I found my cabin easily and walked into the communal area. The cabin was a big rectangle with the kitchen area in the right corner, a communal area in the middle and stairs on the left leading upstairs to the open landing that wrapped around the whole of the upstairs. Three rooms were downstairs for guests and five were upstairs. There was a communal bathroom downstairs and two more upstairs. I didn’t mind that so much since there were only two other people here for now.
There was no one else around, it was really quiet and I wanted to see my room so I started up the stairs looking for room three. It was the first one I saw at the top of the stairs, I unlocked the door and walked in.
It was so pretty, a big bed in the middle loaded with pillows and blankets in all kinds of colours. There was a big window looking out to the mountains, a cupboard and a big comfy armchair that I sat down on after throwing my bag and coat on the bed. I leaned back and kicked off my shoes, I closed my eyes and smiled.
I must have fallen asleep at some point because when I woke up it was dark outside. I stood to switch on the lights and stretched, my body felt a bit stiff so I collected some clothes to sleep in and a towel from the cupboard intending on heading to the shower. I opened my door to step outside and at that moment the door opposite mine opened and the same man from the bench stepped out of room four wearing nothing but grey jogging bottoms.
All of the feelings of being at peace all of a sudden abandoned me as his eyes met mine. I couldn’t breathe again, he was staring back at me…again. His eyes were like pools of honey…again. I had been right about his body, he had muscles that I had only ever seen in magazines and I was thinking about how it would feel to touch them. I bit my lip and he caught me doing it, he smirked for a second when I looked back to his eyes and I knew I was blushing hard.
We both stood there with our eyes locked on each other, my heart was pounding in my chest and suddenly he was closer to me. I was already breathing hard and I could hear his breathing was the same, I was holding the clothes in my hands tight and then he was inches away from me. I had to tilt my head back to still look into his eyes and I was seeing all kinds of emotions staring back at me but most of all it was the heat that got me. It’s like it was transferring over from his eyes into my body and I couldn’t stop myself from moving closer to him. What was happening to me? What was this? I was going to actually start sweating soon, something needed to break between us. I had to back away or push him away or….something. Then, he closed the distance. I took a sharp breath in and then his lips were on mine. I was on fire.
It wasn’t a soft kiss, his lips crashed on to mine without any hesitation; he tilted his head to the side and I felt his tongue touch my bottom lip asking for permission. All the heat running through my body exploded and I moaned my approval, my lips separated for him and I heard him groan as he pushed me against my door to kiss me harder. One of his hands was spread across my back and the other was holding my face, I realised I had dropped the clothes I was holding and raised my hands to his chest to touch him and to feel those hard muscles I had been thinking about moments before.
His lips left mine to trace kisses across my jaw and down to my neck, I was sucking in air like I was starved; my chest rising and falling hard. I pulled his face back to mine and kissed him again, pushing him against the wall so I was in control and I felt his smile as I did it. I pulled back to look at his smile, his dimples showing and I smiled back at him but then reality hit me.
This was insane, he was a complete stranger. What was I thinking? My smile faded and his followed but he touched my arm so that I couldn’t back away.
‘Are you okay?’ Damn, his voice was no joke. How could a voice be this sexy? I looked away from him to stop myself from kissing him again.
‘Yeah…I’m sorry. This is insane. I don’t even know you.’ I tried to back away but his hand was still gripping my arm, I looked up at him and then back at my arm. He followed my gaze and let go but he didn’t move…neither did I.
‘I don’t know why that just happened. I just- I saw you and I couldn’t stop myself, I’m sorry.’ He didn’t look sorry though, he looked like he was stopping himself from smiling and for some reason that did it. I backed away and gestured to the door,
‘Can you leave please, this should never have happened. That’s not why I’m here. I don’t even know your name or anything about you. Mad. This is totally mad.’ He didn’t say anything back for a moment. He just looked at me while standing there; his joggers low on his waist, his skin looking soft enough to lick and I swear he could tell everything about him was drawing me in. This was not good. I was about to walk out the door myself when he lifted himself off the wall and walked over to me. He hooked one finger under my chin and tilted my head so that I was making eye contact with him again.
‘I’m Joon. Who are you?’
