The Second Choice

Messy office

"Brynn," he said softly, his voice a mix of vulnerability and sincerity, "I want to make sure we're both comfortable with what's happening here. Do I have your consent to take this further?"

Brynn looked into his eyes, seeing the genuine concern and affection reflected back at her. She nodded, her eyes warm and inviting. "Yes, Asher. I want this, too. I trust you completely."

Asher's face lit up with a relieved smile. He gently took her hand, leading her toward the bedroom. As they walked together, Brynn felt a flutter of excitement mixed with a deep sense of security. They were moving forward in their relationship, but it felt right, and she was eager to explore this new phase with him.

Asher carried her into the bedroom leaving her breathless not sure what to expect from the man carrying her not breaking eye contact

In Jimin's penthouse ,

As the night progressed, Y/N and Jimin settled into the cozy comfort of Jimin's apartment. Despite the warmth and the inviting ambiance, Y/N couldn't shake off the unsettling feelings that had been gnawing at her throughout the day.

Jimin had put on a lighthearted movie, but Y/N found herself barely paying attention. She fidgeted with the edge of her blanket, her mind racing with the thoughts and insecurities that had surfaced earlier.

Jimin, noticing her distraction, turned towards her with a concerned expression. "Hey, are you okay? You've been a bit off tonight."

Y/N forced a smile, trying to brush it off. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just had a lot on my mind today."

Jimin's eyes softened with concern. "If you want to talk about it, I'm here. You know you can tell me anything."

Y/N took a deep breath, gathering her courage. "Well, there was something I overheard today that's been bothering me. Two women were talking about how if a girl doesn't do certain things, like oral sex, then she's probably going to get cheated on. And it got me thinking..."

Jimin's brow furrowed in confusion. "Wait, what? That's such a messed-up thing to say. You know I would never judge you based on that, right?"

Y/N nodded, her voice trembling slightly. "I know you wouldn't, but it still made me question if I'm not enough for you. Like, if there's something I should be doing that I'm not."

Jimin moved closer to her, taking her hand gently. "Y/N, you're more than enough. It's not about what you do or don't do; it's about how we connect and care for each other. I love you for who you are, and nothing could change that."

Y/N looked into his eyes, searching for reassurance. "But what if you feel like something's missing? What if I'm not giving you everything you need?"

Jimin shook his head, his expression earnest. "I don't want you to feel pressured to do anything just because of what you heard. Our relationship is built on trust and understanding. If there's something you're uncomfortable with or not ready for, that's perfectly okay. What matters most is that we communicate openly and support each other."

Y/N felt a wave of relief wash over her. "Thank you, Jimin. I just needed to hear that. I don't want to let those negative thoughts ruin what we have."

Jimin pulled her into a comforting hug. "You don't have to worry about that. We're in this together, and we'll figure things out as we go. What's important is that we're honest with each other and that we keep supporting and loving each other."

As Y/N nestled into Jimin's embrace, she felt a sense of calm return. The insecurities and doubts from earlier began to fade, replaced by the reassurance of Jimin's unwavering support.
