Chapter 37

Jin's POV

Present day

"Do you want to come back tonight? We're just going to watch some movies but you're both welcome?" I ask Hobi as he's grabbing his bags from the sofa.

"Sorry babe.. can't tonight.. I've managed to get some evening work to help out with Granny's bills. But I'll pick you up in the morning okay?" Hobi hadn't mentioned he got another job. I was going to ask him about it but he was busy trying to wrangle Tae who was bouncing around like a lunatic.

Kook had given him one of his old consoles and some games. He said they were just under his bed gathering dust so he didn't see the harm in giving them to him. Tae had never had anything like it before and it showed.

He kept running up to squeeze him then running away again. I'd never seen the little firecracker so happy.

"Say thank you to Uncle and Aunty for having you." Hobi commanded at Tae.

He ran up to dad and gave him a giant cuddle. When he threw his arms around Aera I saw her stiffen slightly. I guessed he wasn't used to having a kid Tae's age around anymore.

Tae thanked Kook again. He looked at his scar. "If anymore hatch, keep it for me!"

I laughed realising he'd stuck to plan to tell everyone an alien had hatched from his head.

I kiss Tae goodbye and settle in for the evening.

Dad and me waste time chatting whilst Aera potters away in the kitchen. We offered to help multiple times but she just shooed us away.

It was so nice to just have some time with him. I can't remember the last time we had time to just sit and talk. We were soon interrupted by Kook jumping over the back of the sofa and landing between us.

"Can I pick the movie?" His giant smile was impossible to say no too.

Aera came walking in behind us. "I've finally got that grill clean. Do you guys want proper food for the film or should I just do popcorn and nachos?"

"Can we get a pizza?" I ask dad. Me and dad always got pizza for movie nights.

"Sure, go ask Namjoon what he wants on his, he's doing something with the car."

As I stand Aera takes my seat and helps Kook to look through the options for tonight.

I open the front door and my breath is taken by the sight of him.

Namjoon is standing there in just his ripped shorts. His body glistens in the early evening sun under a layer of sweat. I can see it trickling down his bare chest. He looks like one of the guys on the front cover of my dirty books.

He has the hood of the car open and is leaning in. I can see black grease coating his hands and forearms. As he stands back up he wipes his hand on his abs. My mouth waters at the sight and its not the only thing getting wet.

I look away from him down the street and see a number of the local housewives have become very interested in the flowerbeds in their front yards that just happen to have the best view of our driveway.

If Hobi were here he'd see an opportunity. I see it too. I just need his eyes on me again, just for a moment.

Why is this guy such a drug to me? I know I shouldn't, I know there are real feelings there on both sides but I can't help it. After earlier I want to know he still craves me.

He's distracted by the radio and doesn't hear me approach.

"Dad wants to know what pizza you want?" I ask in my most innocent voice.
