[A/D] Trigger - F(x) Amber & BTS Jin

"You should've kept your eyes closed." She whispered as she wiped the tears away from his cheeks and kissed him gently one last time.

The bells of the clock tower echoed through the whole village as it struck midnight. Jin heard it with eyes wide open as he stared at the ceiling above him.

He laid on his back trying to sleep while his lover was already asleep beside him. He had so many things running in his mind but only one stood out the most, it was to keep Amber safe at all cost. He loves his girlfriend so much that he would take a bullet for her despite being tougher than him.

Confused and afraid was he and that is because for the past few days, shocking events unfolded as his friends were killed one by one. He felt like he was riding a roller coaster that went too high only drop down to a never ending rabbit hole of darkness.

And it all started when he joined the fraternity, BTS. Now, he's regretting for ignoring his girlfriend's warning before joining the brotherhood. She said 'it was dangerous' and she was right.

He looked at his girlfriend beside him. He hugged her tightly, hoping that it would last forever. Inhaling her scent as long as he could to remember her sweet strawberry smell.

Then there he collapsed. He cried silently, careful not to wake her up, but to his dismay, she fluttered her eyes open. "Jin? What's wrong?" She asked as she tried to release herself from his tight grip. He shook as he sniffed. "Nothing." He said and continued to sniff. "Nothing important that is..."

Amber looked up to his fragile state and her eyes softened almost instantly at his weak image. Her hand went up to caress his face and wiped his tears away. "Sshhh.. Don't worry, they're in a better place now right? And you're with me. I won't let them hurt you." She tried comforting him. She knew about his brothers being killed and she was afraid that her boyfriend might be the next target. Slowly she slipped some tears herself.

Jin opened his eyes and stared at her girlfriend's brown amber ones. They talked with their eyes like they knew what was happening inside their heads. Silenced lingered around them and their lips locked. They moved with rhythm, both moving in sync with one another.

Tonight it was just the two of them.
Tonight they ignored all of their surroundings.
And they wished that this moment could last forever.

Amber woke up to the scent of freshly cooked eggs and bacon. She picked up the nearest clothing she could reach—which was jin's plain white shirt—and draped it over her as she walked towards the delicious aroma. Because jin has wide shoulders, his shirt was big on her. It hid her curves but it emphasized her petite self.

She peeked from the door to see him—back facing her—wearing boxers and a pink apron while cooking with pan on one hand and spatula on the other. She giggled at the sight as she remember their first encounter in the middle of winter on one cold afternoon.

She warmed herself with a cup of warm coffee that she bought at the cafe. She checked her wrist watch for the time, trying to not be late for her duty–again.

Being a police was tiring, and she knew it, right from the start. That's why she loved it ever since she was a kid. She remembered how she would always dress her stuffed teddy in a police costume and fight "crimes" with it by her side. She smiled as she felt a bit nostalgic. 'Good ol' days. Back when everything was perfect.' She thought.

Amber heaved a heavy sigh before standing up to leave and attend work. She stopped when she was already outside the cafe. She breathe out to see the steam from her mouth, it has always entertained her.
