Blood stained roses

CHAPTER 9

San

We stay in bed for almost an hour, chatting about everything and nothing all at once.
We're both still naked in my bed, under the blanket, she's between my arms and one of my hands is stroking her hair while the other one is around her waist.

Younha : Seonghwa is gonna go crazy when je finds out what happened.
San : What about Hongjoong ?
Younha : Well, we're going to have to tell him.
San : Will he be mad ?
Younha : No, he will be thrilled too.

I was about to answer when we heard knocking on the door.

San : Don't answer, I locked the door.

The person knocks a second, then a third time before I can hear Wooyoung's voice through the wood.

Wooyoung : San, I know you're in there, come out !
San : Why ?
Wooyoung : Do you plan on spending the whole year sleeping with whatever girl's in there ?
San : Kinda.
Wooyoung : Just come out, it's not fun if you're not out there.
San : Fine, just give us a second.

I get out of bed and start dressing up.

San : Sorry.
Younha : Don't be.
San : Do you want me to lend you some clothes ?
Younha : It's okay, I can just wear my dress again.
San : It's 3 in the morning, you don't want more comfortable clothes ? I thought you would be spending the night here anyway.
Younha : I don't want to be a bother.
San : You're my girlfriend now, you can bother me as much as you want.

I reach into my closet and grab some sweatpants that are too small for me and a t-shirt that I hand her. She puts them on and look at me.

Younha : How do I look ?
San : Incredibly pretty.
Younha : Come on, my hair must be a mess.

I kneel on the bed where she's sitting and put a hand on her cheek.

San : You're beautiful anyway.

She blushes and we kiss once more.
We come out of the room where Wooyoung was waiting and his eyes widen when he sees Younha.

Wooyoung : It was you, it actually happened ?!
San : Told you.
Wooyoung : You shut up. Younha, you know you didn't have to kiss him just because he wouldn't stop whining.
Younha : I wanted to, and he didn't whine in front of me so I guess it's fine.
San : I hate that conversation.
Wooyoung : By the way, Yeosang was looking for you, I think he's in the kitchen.
Younha : Thank you, I'll go find him.
San : Come back quick.
Younha : I will, promise.

She leaves a kiss on my cheek before leaving.

Wooyoung : Tell me everything, have you just slept together ?
San : We did.
Wooyoung : So, are you still keeping it casual ?
San : No, we're going out, she's my girlfriend and I'm her boyfriend.
Wooyoung : I still can't believe it.
San : Me neither.
Wooyoung : She seems so innocent, was it her first time ?
San : That's none of your business.
Wooyoung : Okay, sorry mister protective boyfriend.
San : Enough about me, did you kiss anyone at midnight ?
Wooyoung : I did but she's currently throwing up in our bathroom.
San : Great, you're always lucky with girls.
Wooyoung : Tell me about it, I can't believe the new year is starting like this.
San : You'll be okay.

A few moments later, Younha joins us in the living room where we are sitting on the couch, chatting. I make space and she sits next to me, grabbing my hand and letting her head fall on my shoulder.

San : Are you okay ?
Younha : I'm just tired, don't mind me.
San : We can go back to my bedroom if you want.
Younha : No, it's okay. Sannie, can I ask you something ? It's kind of private.
San : Of course, let's go somewhere quiet.

We go to the small balcony to be alone.

San : What's up ?
Younha : With how many girls have you done what we've done ?
San : You mean my body count ?
Younha : Yeah, you don't have to answer if you don't want to.
San : It's not a secret. I think I've slept with 7 girls in my life.
Younha : You have 7 exes ?
San : No, far from that. Most of them were one time things, during parties or whatever. Among them, I went out with two of them.
Younha : For how long ?
San : The first one, two months. The second one, almost a year.
Younha : So serious relationships.
San : You can say that.
Younha : Do you...Still think about them ?
San : I'm still close friends with the first one, we ended things because we just weren't meant to be in a romantic relationship. But the second one cheated on me so we don't talk anymore, and that's a good thing.
Younha : After a whole year of relationship ?
San : Yep. Anyway, your turn now, with how many people have you slept and how many exes do you have ?
Younha : I only have one ex and, he's the only person I've slept with, except from you now.
San : How long were you together ?
Younha : Two years.
San : And you're saying I had serious relationships. How did it end ?
Younha : It's a long story but to make it quick, he was violent with me and Seonghwa eventually found out, he forced us to break up, not that I was complaining, and called the police on him.
San : What happened to him ?
Younha : He was in juvenile hall for a year then got released but with a restraining order against me.
San : And you had your first time with him.
Younha : I did, and I regretted. It was nothing compared to how it was with you, I felt so safe and comfortable, it was really great. With him, it felt like I was getting used for his pleasure and he didn't care about me.
San : So...You never had an orgasm ?
Younha : And yet you made me cum twice tonight.
San : Wow, I am good.

She laughs and looks at me.

Younha : Do I need to worry about your first ex ?
San : Of course not, it was a long time ago and now I have you. The only person who should worry is your ex, I swear if I ever see that asshole, I'm gonna beat the shit out of him. Trust me, nobody will ever raise their hand on you ever again.
Younha : Hwa told me the same thing when he found out.
San : You are even closer than I thought.
Younha : I've known him since I was 5 and he was 14, trying to make some money by babysitting. That's also why he can seem very protective, I apologize in advance if he ever threatens you or anything...
San : He kinda already did.
Younha : What ?
San : He sais that he hated how respectful I was to you because it made it hard for him to hate me.
Younha : As long as he's not doing like he did to the last guy I was talking to.
San : What happened ?
Younha : He came all the way to his house to threaten him to ruin his life if he hurted me, of course the guy got scared and blocked me. It wasn't a big loss but I'm gonna end up being known as the girl with the crazy friend.
San : At least I'm prepared, I won't be scared if he comes for me.
