Love in The Shadow✔

New Roommate

Seokjin

"Please come in Master Jin, I am so happy you are here, I know Sire will be so pleased you came back", Jimin says opening the door and grabbing my bags. "Thank you Jimin, I just took my friends to the airport and came right over, the invite still stands, I hope", I ask hoping they didn't change their mind. "Nothing has changed Master Jin, this is your home now, Taehyung should be up soon, he will join us for dinner, let me show you your room", he says leading me up the stairs. 

"Your room is on the second floor, Taehyung's is on the third floor, you should never go up there unless he invites you", he says. That caught my attention, I wonder what's up there, "so he sleeps during the day and works at night." "Yes for many reasons, being in the sun is bad for Sire, he is allergic, also being an international art dealer his clients are all over the world, so working nights is more beneficial for meetings, and attending auctions", he explains. 

"I guess that makes sense, it sucks he is allergic to the sun, will he mind if I go out during the day", I ask. "Not at all, he wants you to live your life Seokjin", Jimin says, opening my door and ushering me in. "This room is huge", I say walking around looking at Tae's paintings that hang on the wall. "I hope you like it, if not we can figure something out", Jimin says. "No, I love it, I love looking at his artwork, he has so many, does he not have a girlfriend or any family here", I ask curiously. 

"No Sire does not have anyone special in his life, his family is back in his homeland", Jimin says fluffing my pillows. "He's gorgeous, I can't believe people aren't throwing themselves at him", I say. "Sire is waiting for his special one, what we call in our country, his Baeuja", Jimin says smiling.

"That's very pretty, what's a Baeuja", I ask. "His soul mate, his other half", he says, hanging my clothes on hangers. "I believe in soul mates, I think everyone has someone out there that truly belongs to them", not knowing why I said that. "I must make dinner, I will call you down when it's ready", Jimin says leaving my room. "His soul mate, it sounds so romantic to find that one person who completes you", I say to myself. I finish putting clothes away and unpacking what little personal items I have when I hear Jimin say thru the door, "dinner is ready."

Why am I so nervous, yet excited to see Taehyung again, I could never deny that he is absolutely gorgeous, but it's more than that, I feel a pull to him. He walks into the dining room looking delicious, his hair pulled back into a man bun, tight black pants and a white button up with three buttons undone. His skin looks so smooth and pale, it makes me want to rub my hands all over him, "good evening Seokjin, I am happy you decided to return."

"Thank you again Taehyung, I really don't know what I would have done if you weren't so generous, my friends left this afternoon and I would have been homeless", I say. "Well it seems you met Jimin just in time then, I am glad that things worked out for all of us", he says sipping his wine. Jimin sets his dinner in front of him, and then me, while we eat I notice Tae only pick at his food, not really taking big bites, "are you not hungry." "Not really, I normally don't like to eat when first waking up but Jimin sometimes insists", he says with that gorgeous smile.

"Jimin told me that you have a condition that makes you allergic to the sun, that must be so hard to live with, not being able to enjoy the outdoors during the day", I ask him. "It's not so bad, I've lived with it my whole life, so there isn't much to miss", he explains. "I guess you are right, what if you covered up, it's your skin that can't handle the sun, right", I ask excitedly. He seems to think about what I've said, "I've never thought about it, why do you ask." "I thought it would be nice to go out together one day, enjoy the fall colors", I cannot believe I am even saying this.

"Are you two done eating, let me clean this up then I can show Jin around while you work Sire", Jimin says. "Maybe I should let Jin see what I do, if he's interested he might like to work as my assistant", Taehyung says looking at me. "That would be great, I could use the money", I say. A few moments later we are in Taehyung's office, "have a seat, I have a Skype meeting with a art dealer in France, I will have Jimin get you a laptop so that you can join me in these meetings." Tae's meeting lasts about 2 hours as they go thru what paintings Tae will sell in this man's gallery in France, "you look tired, you can go to your room, working these hours take a lot of getting used too."

After taking a shower and getting ready for bed I hear someone coming down the stairs from the third floor, when they pass my room I crack open the door and see Taehyung heading downstairs dressed all in black. Curiosity has me following him as I watch him walk out the door, "where is he going this late." I hurry and put my shoes on and head outside to see which way he went, I watch as he turns the corner heading for the downtown area.

He is walking like he is looking for someone, does he have a date, my jealousy spikes and I am determined to follow him now. I watch him follow a man into an alleyway and when I peak around the corner I see the man with woman, but I don't see Tae anywhere. The woman starts yelling for help, "what are you doing out here sneaking around." I turn to see a policeman, "oh I was with a friend but I lost him, I heard a woman screaming in the alley."

The officer looks, squinting his eyes, "stay here." I look in the alley and see the woman sitting there crying and the officer approach her, I walk closer so I can hear what they are saying. "A man was trying to attack me, but all of a sudden he was gone, right into thin air", she sobs. I look around but I don't see Taehyung anywhere, I should go back in case he comes home, my walk back was filled with so many questions, what is Tae doing out so late and why, is he meeting someone, and why am I super jealous.

Laying in bed, I hear Tae walking up the stairs, he briefly pauses at my door, I want to ask him what is going on with me, I could feel him when he was close and right now I want to jump out of my skin to be near him. I dont know why but I jumped out of bed and open the door, he looks very surprised to see me, but then I see the lust in his eyes and it takes everything in me not to jump him.
