Between Us [JK x JIN x Reader]

Finale

The dimly lit room smelled faintly of your favorite scented candle. Your tired eyes adjusted itself to the darkness of the room. You let your eyes wandered, taking into every detail of your surrounding. The wheat colored walls looked darker than usual due to the lack of light. A slightly distressed white painted desk sat at the corner of the room by the large curtained windows, with a black computer chair neatly placed with it. A full view standing mirror stood beside a large white wood shelf packed with books and Mario figurines.

"What's wrong?" Seokjin asked, his soft sweet voice concerned. Both of you were cuddling on his bed, his arms wrapped around you protectively. You glanced up at his handsome face smiling down at you as you shook your head slightly and nuzzled into his chest. The familiar smell of his cologne made you smile.

Both of you talked about all sorts of things that each of you missed out. You even told Seokjin about Namjoon.

"Such an interesting man. I guess I'll have to thank him... and Jungkook, of course. That rascal," Seokjin said jokingly as he stroked your hair subconsciously. You giggled lightheartedly at Seokjin's comment.

"Thank you for giving me a chance," Seokjin whispered softly. You smiled at him in response. Seokjin caressed your forehead as he traced his fingers down the bridge of your nose and along your lips.

"I miss you so much," he whispered, his warm breath tickled your ear. He lifted your face slightly closer, meeting your lips with his. He parted his warm lips slightly and you follow suit, allowing him to deepen the kiss as he sucked onto your lower lip playfully. It was only then you realized your body was aching for Seokjin's touch as he placed his hand on the small of your back and pulled you closer to his lean and well-sculpted body. You could felt his breath quicken, as you arched your body towards him. The two of you spent the rest of the night in each other's arms, taking in the presence of one another.

You were in a state of euphoria though you were aware of what awaits but you refused to let that ruin your moments with Seokjin.

.......

"Are you sure you don't want to come with me?" Seokjin asked for the twentieth time as he loads the last of his luggage into the car boot.

"You still have an hour to pack and leave with me. Are you really gonna let me go alone?" he continued, his pink rosy lips pouting as if pleading. You couldn't help but smile at his aegyo.

"You'll be fine! I think we should both concentrate on our careers right now. Or at least I should," you replied, reminding Seokjin of his family's expectation of you.

"I'm sorry," Seokjin apologized as he pulled you in, wrapping his strong arms around you.

"Don't be silly. I am not doing this for your family. I am doing it for myself," you assured Seokjin.

"Well, then. Your loss. Someone will claim this piece of worldwide handsome!" Seokjin joked as he playfully flipped his hair garnering a laughter from you.

The journey to the airport seemed shorter than usual. Seokjin had all his luggage checked in and was only carrying a black briefcase bag. The terminal was busy at that hour; businessmen and women rushing for their flights, their expensive leather shoes and heels click-clacking on the polished marble tiles. Children running about as their parents hugged and bid their relatives farewell. Pilots and their cabin crews reporting to work, brisk walking their way towards the departure hall.

You squeezed Seokjin's hand that you were holding, suddenly unwilling to let him go. Seokjin turned and gave you a smile, his thumb lightly stroking the back of your hand as if assuring you that he will be fine.

"I should go now," Seokjin said after the announcement of his flight was ready for boarding.

"Okay. Take care," you choked, trying to hold back your tears.

Upon seeing your tears welling up in your eyes, Seokjin pulled you into his arms, his wide chest emitting a warmth that you just want to snuggle into all day.

"Don't worry, I will make sure to call and keep in touch with you every day," Seokjin reassured you as he kissed your forehead.

"You better!" you replied, careful not to wet his shirt with your tears.

Seokjin let out a chuckle as he released you from his hug. He held your face with both his hands as he gazed into your eyes with fondness. You got lost in his soft brown eyes that sparkle and twinkle like diamonds. Seokjin

You felt a tinge of bittersweetness as you watched his beautiful back view walked away from you.

This time, he is the one that walks away, you thought. Instead of just sadness, you felt hopeful and a hint of happiness as you know this is not the end but a beginning of something.
