5 years later

Tired but completely satisfied, I stepped into the hallway of our apartment, hung up my jacket and slipped into my slippers before going to the kitchen and grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge. My gray long-haired cat Mephisto stroked my legs, waiting patiently to be fed.

"Well sweetie, hasn't your appa given you anything to eat? He probably hasn't eaten anything himself either..." Of course I didn't expect British Longhair to answer me, so instead I fed him and then looked into the rice cooker, which was still full. Sighing, I grabbed some vegetables and meat to cut and fry, telling my beloved I was there was unnecessary, he didn't want to be disturbed when he was writing, but his alarm clock would tell him it was dinner time anyway. Since Yoongi liked to immerse himself in his work so much that he forgot everything around him and I wanted to spend at least the short evening hours with him, we had introduced the rule that neither of us was allowed to work after 7 pm. With music playing in the background, I quickly cooked us something delicious and then set the table. A glance at the clock showed 7:02pm and a smile appeared on my lips as arms wrapped around me from behind and Yoongi pressed his face into my neck.

"Hmmm, baby... you smell so yummy... Can't I eat you first before we eat?" he mumbled into my hair, which made me giggle as it tickled.

"I'm about to starve... so let's eat first now. Let's see how much energy we have left afterwards." I suggested and he sighed, knowing what I knew... After dinner, we would cuddle up and watch a movie and fall asleep. Like we almost always did. I knew Yoongi felt guilty because he often wore himself out writing so much that he got too tired to do anything, knew he was worried about our relationship because of it, that I was missing passion. But I just wanted to be with him, cuddling with him during the week was enough for me, but our weekends were always very turbulent. I could already tell from his hints and looks that he was worried that I might leave him at some point. Which was absolute nonsense. That's how he started again today as we lay cuddling on the sofa.

"Baby... I've been thinking... You know I used to be polyamorous and I'd like to be again. I'm not saying I need another partner, you're perfect enough for me... but maybe you should see someone else. I can't do you justice right now and it's unfair to lock you in here with me when you could be partying and having fun with someone else. We've only been on four dates this year. My current book is taking up so much of my time... I don't want to lose you completely, I'd rather open up the relationship to another person,' he suggested and I sighed. With every book he had a phase where he would start to spin and suggest something like this to me. He wrote two books a year, three months per book... intensive writing, three months off in between. Twice a year we had this conversation.

"Yoongi... I'm happy as it is. I don't need anyone else. And I won't leave you either." I reassured him as usual and normally that was the end of the matter, I always had the feeling that he thought he had to offer me that.

"But, how do you know you don't need someone else? You haven't even tried yet. I'm serious, I'm not angry then, I won't get jealous and I won't interfere." This time he seemed to really want to push me. I don't know if it was deep-seated insecurities or what else he was trying to do.

"I love you... I don't want anyone else... I'm serious... Don't always worry so much about me. I think our life is perfect. Besides, I couldn't even imagine developing feelings for anyone else." I explained and kissed him on the tip of his nose, which he let pass with a smile.

"I love you too... more than my life... I couldn't bear to lose you." he replied and hugged me tightly.

Lying on my bed, I read the last sentence of my favorite book and sighed... now Meant to be was over too and when Min Yoongi would release the next book was not yet confirmed. Pouting, I pulled the pillow over my face. I would love to get to know him, he was certainly a cool guy. I loved his writing style and devoured his books. A month ago I had come to Seoul with my brother Taehyung and now I was waiting for a reading or signing that I could finally go to. I wanted so badly to shake his hand and hear him talk.

"Haha Kookie, to hear you sigh like that while looking at the picture of that author, one would think you were the gay one among us brothers and not me." My brother laughed as he walked in.

"Very funny... what's up, Tae?" I asked him.

"Well, you know, I met someone at work, Jimin.... he's so cute... but well, he said Min Yoongi often does surprise readings at a certain bookstore, I think it belongs to his girlfriend's brother. Jimin used to work there and is friends with the owner. He said Mr. Min would be there tomorrow night," he told me and my heart started beating wildly... Tomorrow would finally be the day....
