His Little Butterfly

23 - First and Last

Yuna was sitting in the living room when Jin entered her place. She was on the phone and she looks like she was having a serious conversation with someone. She looks up, and gives him a smile before lifting 2 fingers up, as she mouths two minutes. Jin nods his head before his eyes falls on the robe she's now wearing and he inwardly groans. Chances for the two of them doing it seems to be getting small again.

He hears Yuna mention 'dad' as she spoke on the phone. Jin knows that they've started  communicating again lately. She could be very sensitive when it comes to her family but she had been confiding to him that she felt wronged that she didn't get a chance to know him at all as she grew up. Her mother told her many times to stop asking for him because he will not come back. She eventually learned to bottle up whatever questions she may have about her father to herself. After their first conversation, she knew that her father was a nice man. She said that she was sure that he sincerely loves her and miss her. 

His Yuna may have grown up rich and pampered but she didn't get enough love. He feels his throat tightening at that thought, he couldn't imagine what she must have felt like as a child. He would never have guessed she had gone through that. No wonder he felt like he needed to protect her the minute he laid his eyes on her. His little butterfly, that's what she's like. So pretty to look at but she starts to fly away as soon as you try to get close to her. 

Jin walks towards her bedroom and opens the drawer at his side of the bed. He takes the box he got  from Yoongi along with the remaining one from his bag and places it inside.

"You're back so fast, were you able to get it?" Yuna was standing by the doorway with her hands folded before her.

"Yup, I, got it faster than having to buy them from the store." Jin starts to explain and Yuna knew immediately what happened.

"Oh no, who was it? Jimin or Yoongi?" She asks.

"Yoongi...but it's ok, it's not like I went to Aliya's place and asked for one. I kind of ran into him at the parking lot and he was more than willing to help. Please don't get mad, I just thought it'll be faster that way." Jin tells her. 

Yuna smiles at him as she walks toward him.

"I'm not mad. I think that's some smart thinking you did." 

Jin smiles back at her, pulling her to his lap as he wraps his arms around her waist.

"Were you talking to your Dad? Is everything ok?" He rests his head over her right shoulder as he looks at her expression, making sure she is not troubled by the conversation she had. He likes looking at her at this distance even though she hates it.

"Yes, he's here in the country and he wants to meet me." Yuna answers meeting his eye as her smile turns wider. "Finally, I'll get to see him after so many years."

"That's good news, you look happy. When will that be?" Jin asks, his voice shaking in the end because after seeing that bright smile of hers, his heart jumped from his chest, the way it did when he got startled earlier.

"Tomorrow." She bites her lower lip before she continues. "Are you free to meet him too? My dad and I will have our talk first and then maybe you can come join us for dinner. I want him to meet you."

Jin doesn't think he had anything scheduled for dinner and even if he does, he'll cancel it just to join them. He knows how important it would be for her.

"Of course, I'll meet him. I mean, do you think you'd have enough time to talk? I don't want to intrude on this important reunion." He answered.

"We would be meeting right after work, so that would be enough time." Her smile drops and her eyes move away from his before she starts speaking. "I want my dad to meet my first boyfriend," She paused again. "and hopefully my last."
