Luna is the owner of a cosmetic line that is blowing up, taking the world by storm. Her vision was to help make everyone feel beautiful. But Luna could never feel beautiful herself. Deep down, and under layers of clothing she hides something from th...
"Who is she?" My words hang heavily in the air. Jimin doesn't answer me immediately and I fear I've over-stepped my boundaries. His head drops, a quiet sigh leaving his plump lips.
"Aera was the biggest mistake of my life. I met her at a bar one night and that should have been enough of a red flag to begin with. She threw herself at me. And me being a man, I couldn't resist too long. Aera is gorgeous but beneath the pretty surface, she is clinically insane." I swallow nervously as I listen to the story, not uttering a single sound.
"We had a one-night stand but that wasn't enough for her. She started stalking me, became obsessed with me." My heart pounds, the picture was being painted now and started to make sense.
"She somehow paid for information about me on the internet. Aera found out where I lived and even broke into my house to lay on my bed and wait for me to come home. I had to call the police when I found her in my house. It turned out she stole hair from my brush and even a pair of my boxers." Jimin's eyes met mine and I can see the worry swirling in his chocolate irises. "She scares me, honestly."
My hand reaches out and takes his hand in mine, trying to comfort him. I could clearly see he was uncomfortable with the memory. It broke my heart, honestly. "I have a restraining order on her, but I don't think that'll stop her. For a few years now she's been gone, she left without a trace. My life was peaceful but a while, but I guess that's over."
My heart sank lower into my chest. "Why do you think she's back?" I whisper, almost afraid someone might be listening to us now. Jimin shrugs lightly. "I don't know, but I hate it. Luckily, I've moved since I knew her. I'm hoping she doesn't find my new residence." I twirl my hair anxiously in my free hand. This whole situation made my hair stand up on end. It made me paranoid, for Jimin.
"If she does find you, you can stay with me." I blurt out the words, not even thinking about the repercussions. It didn't matter. I didn't want to see this kicked puppy look on Jimin's sweet face anymore. His beautiful smile was more fitting for his face.
Jimin smiles when he hears my words. "Really? You'd do that for me?" I nod instantly. I lean in slowly and capture his lips with mine. Jimin's hand snaps up and he holds the back of my neck, stopping me from pulling away after the kiss ends. He presses his forehead to mine and sighs happily. "Luna.." My name leaves his lips like beautiful music. The way he pronounces my name causes my heart to race.
"You won't run away again, right?" I close my eyes and shake my head. In this moment, there wasn't anywhere I wanted to run to. I wanted to stay right here. In Jimin's intoxicating presence, by his side. "Good."

As I drive back to my apartment, I can't keep my thoughts from plummeting down the rabbit hole that is Aera. I couldn't stop from wondering what she said to him. Why Jimin's face fell like that. But what I did know is that my stomach felt like a knot. Something disturbed me about this situation, and I didn't like it all. She better stay away from Jimin.
Aera might be able to worry Jimin, but she better not fuck with me. I'm the last person you want to mess with. My fingers grip tightly around the steering wheel, and I grind my teeth. I already felt pure rage towards a woman I never met.
Upon entering my apartment, I notice that Taehyung isn't there. Damn. I really wanted to talk to him about all of this. I needed to vent to someone.
My body collapses to the couch and my head falls backwards against the cushion. I stare up at the ceiling and try to mentally process everything Jimin told me. Aera definitely didn't seem mentally well if she was stealing hair and underwear. What kind of person steals things like that? What was she doing with Jimin's hair, making a voodoo doll to conjure his affection for her? How absurd.
My head lifts when my ears hear the rattling of the front door knob. Taehyung enters and locks the door behind him. "Hey!" I call to him, and he turns around to smile at me. My eyes immediately are drawn to the reddish-purple spots on his neck, and I can't help but smirk.
"Well, well. Someone had a good time." I tease him with an annoyingly big smile on my face. Tae drops his eyes shyly and rubs the back of his neck. "Yeah." I pat the empty seat on the couch next to me and Taehyung walks over to occupy it.
"How was your night with Jimin?" Tae decides to grill me first before I can hurl my own questions at him. I smile to myself as I remember that most of the night with Jimin was perfect. Up until he got that annoying text from Aera.
"It was great, actually. I think I'm finally opening up to him." I say with a grin on my lips. Taehyung laughs and smiles as well. "That's great!" Taehyung leans in to kiss my cheek but I shove him back. "No! I don't know where your lips have been!" I tease him and he blushes. Apparently, my accusations were correct.
"Jin picked me up and we went to a café to hang out. I met this beautiful blonde there. She was incredible. One thing led to another and well, here I am." Taehyung grins and blushes, feeling guilty for having a fling
"Oh I see, well I'm going to bed Tae." I pat his cheek lovingly. "G'night Luna." Tae kisses the top of my head once before I stand up front the couch.
