Taemin in real life.

Part 26

Kibum and Amber didn't stay late. Once they left it was Jonghyun, Jen and myself left in the dorm too full of all the food.

'I'm going to lay down, I'm in pain.' Jonghyun moaned making his way to his room.

I was on the sofa half sitting half laid down with Jen in a similar position with her head resting on my chest.

'What are you seeing Chanyeol again for tomorrow?' I asked her, trying to be nonchalant, but missing completely. She saw right through me.

She frowned at me. 'Is there a problem?' she asked.

'No, I'm just curious why. You didn't tell me he was coming as soon as I left earlier today.' I countered but it came out a little more aggressive than I meant.

'That's because I didn't expect him as soon as you left.' She responded just as quick. 'He said he was going to come over, but he didn't say when. I don't even know how he knew we were back.' She shrugged her shoulders and went back to playing with her phone.

'Hmm,' I whined at her.

She rolled her eyes at me from over the top of the phone. 'Taemin, do you have a problem with me being friends with him?'

'No.' I said a little too quickly.

She raised an eyebrow at me. 'I'm friends with Key and Jonghyun and Minho and Jinki, but you don't complain when I see them. I like Chanyeol. He's funny and I can talk to him more easily than others.'

'It's not the same,' I started, then realised what she had said 'Yah, when have you seen them without me?' I asked confused.

'Ah!' she hit a pillow at my head. 'Taemin, sometimes you're not here, they come looking for you, or they just want to talk, hang out a little. Sometimes they want to speak English, but they're embarrassed to say anything. What's the problem? Huh? I'm not having sex with any of them,' Her voice was still playful, but I could tell she was more than a little irritated with the conversation.

'I know that Jagi,' I moaned throwing my head backwards. The conversation wasn't going how I planned. I felt bad she thought I was accusing her of doing something like cheat. That hadn't been my intention.

'Hey!' she poked me in the chest making me look back down at her.

'What?' I asked, feeling myself getting wound up more.

'Jagi? You've never said that before.' She wore a playful look on her face.

'It slipped out, beautiful' I emphasised the last word grinning, my irritation gone as quickly as it had arrived.

She grinned back, amused with me. My eyes lingered on her face, her beauty marks, the shape of her nose from this angle and her eyes. How she looked so youthful and stunning even without any make up on made me sigh, 'You are beautiful, I don't want anyone to steal you from me.' I tried to sound sincere but was beginning to sound like a petulant child.

Her eyes met mine, I didn't miss how my compliment had affected her as the corners of her mouth turned up ever so slightly, 'Taemin, no one can steal me unless I want to be stolen. Understand?' She sat up on her knees and threw her arms around my neck and rubbed her nose against mine cutely.

I put my arms around her and began to stroke up and down her arms.

She sighed. 'I've been here a while now, and the only people I meet are the people in this building. Sometimes it's a little lonely, I like having friends here, but just because they're guys, doesn't mean anything. Besides, I have to deal with millions of women telling you they love you every day.' She kissed me sweetly. I accepted the kiss gratefully as I rolled my eyes at her exaggeration of millions of women telling me they loved me.

She was right though. I was being ridiculous. I should be happy she felt like she had friends here. I had a feeling I just wasn't handling being so in love very well.

'How can you be so sexy and so smart at the same time?' I asked tickling her.

'Hey stop!' she squealed. I had wrestled her down on the sofa, so now I had her arms pinned above her head with my body pressed heavily and deliberately against hers.

She looked up into my eyes, assessing the situation she was in.

'Born this way,' she winked in answer to my question. I kissed her deeply not wishing to waste the opportunity of the position I had her in, not when she was acting so adorable and pulling at my heart.

We giggled together like children as we kissed.

'Seriously, how are you so, understanding and cool about being in love.' My eyes searched hers, I wanted to know how to do this the right way. I felt so insecure all the time.

'Experience my love,' she whispered. I wasn't sure what she meant with that answer but in the compromising position we were in I currently didn't care to think about it too deeply. I kissed her again rolling my hips forward into hers, triggering her to moan out a little.

'YAAAHHHH' Jonghyun came banging out from his room and eyed us both on the sofa. He stared at us for a second shaking his head.

'Aish, we need some ground rules while we are all living here, stop doing that!' he pointed at our current position on the sofa 'And no sex noises. I think I might vomit.'

'You love it Jong.' She teased him from underneath me.

I looked down at her, grinning at her response to him. I loved that she was not embarrassed and comfortable enough with him to make fun of him while she was so compromised that I giggled at him with her.

'Please stop.' He cried walking back to his room.
