Thirty Nine ➵ Trust

"Joshua," I say shakily as he stares at me through teary eyes.

He doesn't say anything, he just turns around and disappears around the corner. I sigh, feeling the alcohol practically disappear from my system as I raise my arm and connect my hand with Jimin's face.

"You're going to regret doing that, Park Jimin." I growl before turning and following Joshua's direction.

"What happened to Joshua? Why was he crying?" Mingyu asks when I reach the room, only to find he's not here.

"I don't know," I lie. "I'm going to find him, I'll see you all later,"

"I'll dive you," Seungcheol offers but I shake my head.

"No, it's okay but thanks."

I put my jacket on before finding the exit of Jimin's house and stepping outside into the cold, harsh air. I didn't realise how cold it actually is out here.

There's a one way street which I follow, but there's no sign of Joshua. The cold air nips at my skin and I shiver, praying that he isn't far.

After a few minutes, my feet go numb due to the winter air and I contemplate turning around. But Joshua's upset and I need to explain what really happened, so I persevere and carry on walking.

After another ten minutes or so, I find myself walking through the neighbourhood where the apartment Joshua and a few of the boys live is located. I decide to check in case he's there, even though I doubt it.

I don't even feel my hand when I knock on the door because it's so numb. I'm about to turn away but the door opens slowly, and a distressed Joshua is revealed.

"Joshua," I breathe. "Please let me explain what happened," 

He shakes his head and glances at my shivering frame. "I saw you kiss him, Areum,"

He starts to shut the door but I outstretch my arm and stop him, my hand brushing against his arm which feels as hot as fire to me. His sad and angry expression falters for a short moment when he realises how cold I am.

"Please, just let me come inside,". I beg and he hesitates before stepping backwards, allowing me inside.

I breathe in relief at the feeling of warmth the apartment supplies. I follow Joshua into the living room and he sits on the sofa opposite me, refusing to look into my eyes.

"I didn't kiss him back, Joshua, didn't you see me push him away?" I say quietly.

He shakes his head. "I looked away as soon as it happened,"

"Please trust me when I say that I didn't. I would never do that to you, you know that, right?"

"It broke my heart seeing him kiss you," he admits. "But I believe you,"

"Good," I smile in relief and he moves to the sofa I'm on.

"I'm sorry for overreacting and not trusting you," he apologises but I shake my head.

"It's okay,"

He leans to the side and hugs me tightly and rubs my arm, warming me up.

"You're absolutely freezing," he mumbles. "I'm sorry, you would be warm if it weren't for me."

"It's alright, Joshua. I'm just glad that we're okay,"

"Come on," he says, standing and pulling me up. "Let's get you warmed up."

I don't know what he means but I follow him upstairs and into his room, nevertheless. He then jumps onto his bed and lifts up the duvet, inviting me to join him.

I smile and climb beside him as he wraps the blanket around me. The coolness from my body slowly begins to disappear as I move closer to him and rest my head into his chest. He's like a human radiator.

"Isn't Jimin a part of the company? It'll be awkward for you." I chuckle.

"We only see him when we're making a new music video, he's one of the set designers. And probably, yes, it will be, but I don't mind." 

"I can't believe he did that," I mumble and a look of anger flashes through Joshua's eyes as he pulls me closer. 

"I know," he kisses the top of my head. "I'm going to have words with him when I next see him." 

I laugh lightly. "I appreciate your protectiveness but please, don't make a bid deal of this, for my sake." The last thing I want is more trouble, the police are already involved with me. 

"Fine," he sighs. "If that's what you want,"

"It is," I smile and lean forward, kissing his lips.

With his arms still wrapped around me, he flips us over so I'm above him without detaching our lips and I giggle into his mouth. He then kisses me more passionately and I feel the familiar fire inside of my stomach. But this time, everything feels slightly different, more intense. 

It doesn't take long for both of our shirts to be pulled off and thrown onto the floor. (an; 0-100 reAL QUICK) He then flips us back over so he's hovering above me and leans down until his mouth is right beside my ear. 

"Are you sure you want this?" He asks quietly and I nod. 

"I'm positive," I promise, never feeling more confident or safe. "I trust you."
