Playing With Bullets

Chapter 10: Altercation

We reached the arcade at 1 am in  the morning. The multicolored lights inside blinded our eyes which were used  to the darkness. Dozens of videogames and entertainment systems were waiting to be played. It was the perfect place for Taehyung and I to hide away from the rest of the world.

He opened the door for me and beckoned me inside, "After you, Jichu."

I entered the building, smiling to myself. We started playing games and having an enjoyable night. Nothing could compare with the time I was having. Not even being on stage could make me as happy as I was then. It was soon to change.

"Hah! You just got destroyed, loser.", I  shouted triumphantly as my character Chunli did her special move on Ryo, KOing him.

"Um, loser? You think you could take me outside of the game?, he challenged right back.

My pride got the best of me, and before I could think about what I was saying, I blurted out, "Of course I could!"

Next thing I knew Taehyung had his arms around my waist. I shrieked in surprised as he picked me up and slung my body over his shoulder to teach me a lesson. If only my company hadn't make me go on that stupid diet, I might have been able to fight back. Meanwhile Taehyung was an idol whose body was kept muscular for the fans. No matter how much I kicked and screamed I couldn't get down, and  he wouldn't let me down until I apologized.

"You want to say sorry, Jagiya?", he asked sweetly.

My face went hot at such an intimate nickname. I only became more rebellious when fueled by  the embarrassment triggered by him. As a last resort, I bit the only sensitive part of his body close enough to bite. His ear.

He jolted as soon as my teeth met his sensitive flesh. But, it worked. He let me down from his shoulder. To be honest, it was more like he dropped me. My small Asian ass fell on the hard concrete floor. It would probably have been less painful to wait out Taehyung's strength, but judging by the size of his arms, that might have taken a while.

When I looked up at Taehyung, his face was more pink than mine was. Did I cause that?

"You okay, Jagiya?", I giggled.

"Oh, you are so dead."

I squeaked as he pushed me against the Streetfighters Arcade Machine. He cornered me all the time when trying to get my attention, but this time it felt more serious than attention seeking or simple playfighting. His eyelids lowered as he studied every inch of my face, drinking in my appearance. His gaze moved down to my lips, and then lower, to around the area where I had bit him.

I came to realize why he had gotten so flustered over the bite on his ear. My breathing hitched as he nipped at the delicate skin of my neck, sending tingles through my body. He started traveling upwards from there, giving me kisses on my jawline, until he reached my mouth.

When his lips met my own, they molded together into something softer, sweeter. I felt him smile against the kiss, which caused me to smile in turn. Both our smiles broke apart the touching of our lips, before joining once again. This went on for a minute or so, until I heard a shocked gasp behind us.

"Jisoo, what the hell?"

Taehyung pulled away from my body at the interruption, giving me room to see who had yelled at us. I was shocked to see iKon standing a couple feet away, looking dumbfounded.

"You're dating a new guy?", Bobby spat.

That startled me. I stood up swiftly and smoothed down my skirt which had begun to hike up. If I thought Taehyung could mortify me, it was nothing compared to my sunbaenims watching me make out with him. My cheeks burned with the heat of humiliation.
