Temptations [JuminxZen]

The view rendered my vision sightless as I held my ground looking out into the beauty of the mountains. As the trail came to a halt, like a vector to the heaven there he stood. His gaze shifted towards mine, and he still held his monotone expression like expected.

He turned and spoke softly as if not to wake a newborn. "Why are you here?"

I don't think I even knew the answer myself, but I shrugged and replied anyway. "To be blunt, I came to persuade you to reconsider that job offer."

He remained emotionless as if he were still trying to soak in the words, while admiring the beauty of the mountains. "How did you even know I was here?"

My eyebrows grew in a furrow as I thought back to those times. "This is where we first met and you refused any of my help.."

He glanced down, as a glimpse of guilt spread over his face. "I wanted to prove to my parents that I could make it as an actor without any connections..."

My gaze softened a bit as he said that, but I couldn't help but clench the bridge of my nose and sigh at the situation.

"Besides... I've pretty much hit rock bottom in my career. Why would you want me to be your model, that would just put your company in jeopardy."

My face grew stern as I gripped my hands on his shoulders and spun him around. "The R.F.A is like family to me, regardless the mistake you make, I will always be here to support you, no matter how badly you mess up."

He gazed at me with wide eyes. "Jumin, I-,"

I swiftly held my finger up to his lips. "It will be a shame if I came all this way for nothing. I think it is in your best interest to accept my offer."

He hesitated for a moment, then gently clutched my hand. "I will do your modeling offer for your company."

He released me from his hold, as I gently dusted off my suit. "Forgive me in advance."

"For wha-?" Before he could ask I gently leaned towards him and placed my lips against his warm lips.

The world around them seemed to crumble as they held their gaze towards each other for a moment.

He briefly grasped the collar of my shirt and reeled me in so our eyes locked and our faces were only centimeters from each other. "I'm not getting any younger old man."

And with that he pressed his lips against mine, nearly knocking the wind out of my lungs. 

Yeah, I didn't continue this because I don't feel like I could have made it into a longer story, but I love Mystic Messenger so I had to ;)
