Finally, Mine | Kim Seokjin POV Story

Chapter 18: When South Meets North

We spent the next weeks tying up things before the year ends. 

The sasaeng fan was now behind bars. When asked how she found out about me, she confessed that she chanced upon someone who was living in the same building as I did saw Jin going in the basement parking in a forum. She then communicated with this resident and paid to get more details. 

Upon learning about this, Jin immediately put my apartment on sale and hauled my things to his home. I was thinking of looking for another unit or a house but he decided against it. 

"Why would you need another when you are now living with me?" He asked, visibly upset, when I told him my plan.

"It's not my house though?" I said. He turned away from me. It's the first time we had an argument since we got back together. 

"What's mine is yours, Hae-rin. This is your home now. Or you don't feel it that way?" 

"Thank you for thinking that way, Jin. I love living with you, I do. But I don't feel quite right about not having my own space." 

"So are you going to move out once you're healed?" He asked, not looking at me.

"Y-yes..." I whispered. 

We didn't talk about it again so I assumed he understood what I wanted. I began looking for a place. This time I was more meticulous especially with the security. Actually, we have our family home here but I don't want to go home in an empty, huge house. 

I also began going to the office. I use mostly my right hand so it's not that hard to work. But I couldn't drive so Jin would drive for me or if he can't, someone from the company. 

I have a lot of pending works. Miromi helped me to keep up. I've missed a lot of meetings but set those aside first and decided to work on those after Christmas break.

In our free days, Jin and I had a hard time going out because we don't want to be spotted. It always gets noisy in social media when people do. So we mostly stayed either on Jin's house, his parents', his brothers', and sometimes their dorm. 

"Have you found a place already, noona?" Hobi asked while we're preparing for our dinner at Jin's home. It's Jin's belated party and Tae's advance birthday party since the members will be coming home to their family during their break. 

"Yes, I did. I will be checking it out next week." I smiled at him. Jin quietly put down the kimchi jiggae in the table and walked away. 

"Why are you even trying to look for a place, noona? You're already living with Jin-hyung?" JK asked. We began settling on the dining table.  

"I will be moving out, JK. This is just temporary." I answered.

"B-but..." 

"Actually, that's a wise decision noona." Namjoon commented. 

"How is that wise, Namjoon?" Jin asked. "Isn't it practical to just live in one place?"

"It is practical, yes, hyung. But knowing how independent Hae-rin noona is, she would want something that she can call her own. You bought this place. She didn't. Legally, this is only yours, not hers. After all, you're not married yet." 

Jin looked at me thoughtfully. 

"Hey, I'm not talking about marriage here or what. I just want my own place." I sighed. "Let's just eat boys, shall we?"

So we began eating and talking about random stuff. My shoulder's been healing exceptionally well that I can remove my sling sometimes. I go to therapy that's why I can move it freely now.
