Safekeeping (Jumin x Reader)

17: Realization

As Jumin escorted you home in his car, he sighed. You looked over at him, feeling guilty for interrupting his day. Slowly but surely, you found yourself scooting closer and closer to the exasperated CEO until you were within a hair's width of him.

"I'm sorry, Jumin." You whispered quietly.

He turned his head to look at you surprised. He hadn't wanted any kind of apology... he wanted something more like reassurance.

"Did you have more fun with Luciel than you do with me?" He asked quietly as he looked down demurely. It was almost embarrassing for him to ask you this, but he couldn't get it out of his head.

"No." You laid your head against his shoulder, tired from the medical emergency earlier in the day.

"Good." Jumin laid his head against yours and sighed again. He was feeling possessive and unrightfully so. He didn't own you, and it shouldn't matter to him whether you had more fun with another guy or not. But it did matter and he was happy to hear that you still favored him. "I think we can both clean up a bit when we return home and then I'd like to take you shopping briefly. Just every day clothes and pajamas perhaps. Is that alright? I know you are tired."

"It's... alright." You were indeed quite tired, but you admitted that you needed new clothes. And if you waited until tomorrow there was a chance that you wouldn't be up to going. Despite how comfortable Jumin's clothes were, they simply weren't appropriate for being seen in.

As the car was pulled up to the house, both you and Jumin went your separate ways to prepare for your outing. Jumin retired to his bedroom while you took a moment to enjoy an orange-free meal. Although you weren't a huge fan of salads, they kept popping up in the fridge so you kept eating them. Now you were having a spinach salad with raspberries and mozzerella. It was pretty tasty, but gone quickly. Your stomach still growled, which led you to the decision of whether or not to eat more.

Well I don't want to eat more if he wants to eat together later. But if the trip's going to take a few hours, I'll need the energy... I'll just go ask Jumin. He said to just come in to his bedroom if I needed him.

With that, you marched right up to his door, hesitating before opening it. As you stepped inside the room you noticed that it was oddly humid and the bathroom light was on. As you turned your head just slightly you were greeted with a fantastic sight. Jumin, fresh out of the shower, drying his hair with a towel. Completely nude.

Your face grew completely red and you tried to stutter out an apology as you ran out the door.

Oh my gosh I didn't realize it. It honest to God did not even occur to me. Jumin is probably the sexiest man I have ever met.

You blushed as you slid down the door in embarrassment. Not only did you realize how much you were actually attracted to the man, but you remembered you still had to spend the evening with him.
