Make Me STAY

Can't Stop

Rose was trying to teach Jeongin English. With Stray Kids' world tour coming up, they had increased their lessons. But trying was the key word here. Since she had bonded with Jeongin, her youngest soulmate had been... affectionate? Enthusiastic? Shameless?

"Let's start by seeing how much you remember, okay?"

"Okay."

"Are you having fun?"

"Are you having fun?"

"Correct!"

Jeongin quickly leaned forward and kissed her. Rose blinked as he sat back in his seat.

"What - What was that for?"

"My reward."

"Right... next one. I'm so happy to be here."

"I am so happy to be here."

"Correct!"

Jeongin collected his reward, and Rose didn't know whether to laugh or sigh. At this rate, this was going to be a very long lesson, or rather a very short one. 

"Inn- Jeongin, after every single answer? Really?"

The Maknae grinned at her.

"Yep!"

"Then, can you save all your rewards until the end?"

Her youngest soulmate's gaze darkened, and Rose's heart rate picked up. Perhaps that wasn't the best compromise.

"If that's what you want, Noona."

Rose gulped.

"That's only if you get them right. Let's move on. I missed you a lot."

"I missed you lots."

"A lot."

"A lot."

"Good. Thank you for being here today."

"Thank you for... today?"

"Close. Try again."

The lesson continued with Jeongin being suspiciously well-behaved. That was until they reached the end.

"Let's finish there. Minho will be here soon. But great job, your english had improved so much!"

Rose tried to ignore Jeongin's eyes on her as she tidied the supplies she had scattered across the desk.

"Thank you! But aren't you forgetting something, Noona?"

"Umm, no? I don't think so."

"Are you sure?"

Jeongin leaned forward, resting his hands on Rose's thighs. Suddenly, he scooped her up and pulled her onto his lap so she was straddling his thighs. She grabbed onto his shoulders to steady herself.

"What are you doing?!"

Jeongin tilted his head to one side and smiled.

"Claiming my reward."

Rose worked hard to keep a straight face.

"I don't know, you didn't get everything right... Do you deserve one?"

His face dropped.

"Rose."

She leaned in until her nose brushed against his.

"I'm joking."

Before she could form another word, Jeongin's lips claimed hers. Rose's sense of time ceased to exist. She gasped for breath when he released her in favour of trailing kisses along her jawline, making his way to her neck. She clung to his shoulders as he claimed her as his.
