Why? (Jin x Reader)

14

I still wasn't allowed to work because of my waist injury and Seokjin had to go to work that day. I woke up early to cook for him and while I was doing so, arms wrapped around my waist. Seokjin rested his chin on my shoulder and smiled at me as I blushed. I was still shy about the whole relationship thing. "How come you're up already?" He asked.

"So that I can make breakfast." I mumbled shyly.

"Why are you still acting so shy?" He chuckled, letting go and leaning against the counter beside me.

"You know that I've never been in a relationship before! I'm just not used to it.." I shrugged, avoiding eye contact. 

"It's okay. You're cute when you're shy." I smiled sheepishly and blushed even harder. "I'll be coming home late today." He asked, his tone suddenly changing. It was filled with disappointment and regret. "I have an appointment with one of the restaurant managers."

"When will you be back?"

"Really late. Maybe around 11 at night."

"Is that so?" I couldn't hide the disappointment in my voice.

"I'm sorry. I don't want to leave you alone for so long, but I have to do this."

"It's okay. Just don't work too hard."

"I'll be fine. In fact, I'll be employing someone who can take over some of my work soon. All I'll have to do is check up on the restaurants from time to time and make sure everything is going smoothly."

"That's great!"

"I don't have to go to work tomorrow, I can stay here with you." He stepped closer and his arm snaked around my waist. "And when you go back to work, I can be there with you." He kissed my cheek, making me flush red.

"Ah, why are you doing this to me?" I turned away and covered my blush with my hand, making Seokjin laugh.

"I love you Y/N~" I felt like I was going to have a heart attack from his teasing and I had had enough of it (lol how can you ever have enough?). I took some of the rice I had made and shoved it in his mouth. "Ah! Hot!" He let go of me and covered his mouth as he stumbled backward. I plated everything and put it on the dining table. After breakfast, he left for work.

After a few days, I was given permission by doctor to go back to work. Everything was just as hectic as it had been before I left. It was super busy, but luckily everything was organised and under control. "How's everything going here?" A familiar voice asked. I spun around to see Seokjin.

"It's going great! Lots of business!" The head chef said quickly.

"Good. Y/N, how's your waist?" Seokjin walked up to me with a smile.

"It's fine. It doesn't hurt as much I thought it would."

"Don't push yourself too much, okay? If it hurts, tell me."

"Seokjin, it's been almost a month. It's pretty much completely healed." Everyone froze and stared at me in fear.

"Y/N!" The head chef hissed.

"What?" I turned around and looked at her in confusion.

"What's wrong with you?! Mr Kim, I'm so sorry for her lack of respect." 

"What do you mean?" Seokjin was just as confused as I was.

"Well.. She just called you by your first name." Now the head chef and everyone else in the kitchen was confused.

"Oh, that's because I told her to." Seokjin smiled calmly.

"Oh, I didn't know that... I hope you don't mind me asking, but.. Why?"

"She's my girlfriend, why should she call me Mr Kim?" Everyone stared at me in shock as I blushed and looked down at my hands.

"YOU'RE HIS GIRLFRIEND?!" They all exclaimed in shock.

"When did this happen?!" One of the chefs, Eunha, asked.

"A week ago.." I mumbled shyly.

"We even live together." Seokjin added, smiling down at me as I blushed even harder.

"YOU WHAT?!" The main chef almost dropped her utensils.

"Only after a week of being in a relationship?" Eunha's eyes widened.

"No, we lived together before that.... Look, it's complicated, okay?" I mumbled.

"No, you're going to explain this." Eunha folded her arms over her chest sternly. I looked at Seokjin for permission and he nodded calmly.

"You all know about Eunbi, right?" I started.

"That crazy woman? Yeah."

"Well, she broke out of jail and she came after Seokjin so I let him stay at my house."

"And remember what happened when I tried to leave?" Seokjin chuckled. I hung my head down and laughed in embarrassment. 

"What happened?" Eunha asked.

"You're food's burning." I immediately said, making her spin around in panic and rush back to her station. Suddenly, everyone rushed back to their station to check on their food. I plated my order and handed it to the waitress. As soon as I turned around, Seokjin was standing in front of me. I flinched and looked up at him, stumbling back and hitting the counter. He stepped closer with a smirk and trapped me between his arms as he gripped the counter.

"Seokjin, what are you doing? There's people watching." I whispered. 

"So what?" He chuckled before leaning in and kissing my cheek. I could hear a couple of female workers squeal.

"Oh my god! They're so cute!" We both looked at them and they immediately stopped, acting as if nothing had happened. Seokjin chuckled as he stepped back and slipped his hands into his pockets. He stayed with me all day until the restaurant closed. He slid his hand into mine and we intertwined fingers as we walked back to the car. Seokjin drew circles on my hand with his thumb and smiled down at me warmly. 

When we got back home, it was already late so we got ready for bed. I had just come out of the shower and I was walking past Seokjin who was sitting on the bed when he grabbed my wrist and pulled me down onto his lap. His hand snaked around my waist and his chin rested on my shoulder, making me blush and become flustered. "S-Seokjin, what are you doing?"

"Nothing." He chuckled innocently. He quickly pecked my cheek and grinned brightly. "I love you."

"I love you too.." I mumbled, avoiding eye contact.

"Wait- What?" Seokjin's eyes widened. "Did you actually just say.." I just chuckled in embarrassment. "You actually said it! Oh my god!" He laughed. "I've never heard you say that before! Ah, I'm so happy." He hugged me tighter and nuzzled his head into my neck. "Does your waist hurt anymore?"

"No, not really."

"Not really? What does that mean? Is there a little bit of pain or.." He asked, lifting his head to look at me.

"Very little."

"I still feel so bad.. You got shot because of me."

"Seokjin, don't blame yourself." I turned around to face him and cupped his cheek. His eyes widened slightly in surprise since I had never done something like that before. I just smiled and and stroked his cheek gently with my thumb. A smile spread across his face as he gazed deeply into my eyes lovingly and placed a hand on mine. 

"I'll try not to get you into situations like that again."

"You didn't get me into that situation! Eunbi did!" I laughed. Suddenly, he picked me up bridal style, making me sling my arms around his neck. He laid me down on the bed gently then laid down beside me.

"I love you." He said softly, wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me closer to him.

"I love you too." He grinned brightly before kissing my forehead.
