Night Owl

Night Owl Ch. 30

The next day came quick, as I got up and prepared for my day.

"Where are you going baby," I heard JK shout from the bathroom. He was just getting out of the shower, as I was putting on my socks.

"I'm meeting up with Yoongi, remember?" Scrunching his brow, "Oh, that's right, you said he texted you last night, right?" Removing the towel from around his waist, he tussled his hair drying it as my eyes stared at his bobbing length.

"I do have a face, ya know," he said smirking at me. I couldn't help but to gawk at him. He was perfect, and I missed him. Last night at the Night Owl was absolutely amazing. So much so, that we had a repeat once we got home. I was exhausted to say the least, but I told Yoongi that we could meet, so I didn't want to break my promise.

Pulling my hoodie over my head, I pulled my hair into a loose ponytail, grabbed my purse and headed for the door. JK's strong hands circled my waist from behind as he pulled me into his sturdy chest. "Will you be gone long," he asked kissing the back of my neck.

"No, I don't believe so. He just said that he wanted to talk to me about something. I'll come back right after that." Turning around I kissed him on his nose, waving goodbye as I left my apartment.

It was a short ride to the café in his neighborhood. He didn't live far from me which was nice. The cafe had a rustic feel, he knew I loved old things, and this place was exactly my vibe.

I sat near the window, smiling as I saw him walking up to the building. He spotted me staring at him and waved as he came to sit across from me. "Have you been waiting long," he asked, pulling the cup I ordered for him to his lips.

Shaking my head I gave him a smile. I hadn't seen him in what felt like forever. I missed my friend. With all that's gone on, I hadn't really got a chance to just be around him or Mia. I wondered how they were doing.

I know that it's not been easy for them, so quietly, I've been wanting to sit down with them too.

"So," I began taking a sip of my drink, "how have you been," I asked placing it cautiously between my fingers. It was easier to stare at the cup then it was my friend. I didn't know why I seemed to be a bit shy. Was it because he wanted to talk about the coalition? I hated that there was so much that I didn't know.

"I'm sorry," he started. Lifting my head up, my brow furrowed.

"Sorry? Sorry for what Yoongi," I asked taking another sip from my glass.

"I'm sorry that I never told you about all of this. You know, about the coalition and knowing JK's mom."

The realization set in that he was feeling guilty. As a smile crept on my lips, I could see his confusion. "Yoongi, you don't have to be sorry about any of this. We already talked about this. Why are you suddenly bringing it up again?"

He was out of sorts, not like himself. It was strange. Since we got everything out in the open, he's seemed more relaxed, but now, it was as if I was still in the dark.

He did say that he wanted to talk to me, but what could that be about? What did he have to say that he hasn't already said? I wanted to be patient with him, but I was growing restless. After everything that I've learned in the past few days, I didn't think that anything could shake me, but I had a feeling that I was about to be wrong.

"You told me that you had to tell me something? That I needed to be sure of what I was getting into. What were you talking about," I asked.

Taking in a deep breath, "well you know about the coalition now right?"

His question seemed almost rhetorical, but I could see the look in his eyes, he really wanted to know my answer.

"Yeah, that's where I was a day ago, what about it?" I was growing more and more curious as the time went on. What could he possibly want to say. I mean the worse had to be about JK's mom and Jin's father, how could anything be any worse than that.
