First Encounter - (fluff + smut) BTS Jin

Hong Kong

*At Conrad*
The ringing phone jolted me from my deep slumber. I looked around and saw Jin snoring peacefully. I smiled remembering how I fell asleep in his arms, him humming.

I answered the phone —
Me: Hello?

Operator: Miss Kim, you have a caller, Mr. Jisub So. Do you want me to patch him?

Me: Yes please.

SJS: Look who's back and didn't call. I have to find out from the news. Annyeong Jin Li.

Me: (smiling) Oppa. I miss you.

SJS. Me too. Gwenchana? Who are you with? I wanted to visit, but I might be disturbing from the looks of it.

Me: You know him, oppa. Well, not really. But you might have heard of him.

SJS: (laughing) I may be older, but I'm still hip. Have faith. Do you have any plans tonight? I'm in Hong Kong too for a trip.

Me: I'm supposed to join them for their first concert, but I don't think I should. Can we meet up?

SJS: Just say where, I'll be there.

Me: Gomawo. I'll send you a message. Hey (seeing Jin wake up). Talk to you later, oppa. Hi, good sleep?

Jin: Who are you talking to?

Me: Jisub.

Jin: Oh. The actor?

Me: Old friend. Ask Tae. We will see each other tonight.

Jin: You won't see us tonight?

I opened the door, and saw six happy yet concerned faces in front of me.

Me: I don't think I should go, Jagi.

RM: (reading my mind) Mianhe, Jin. I think she's right. Gaja? Don't bother dressing up, the hair and team will take care of it. We are kind of late already.

Jin: (gave up, rose, gives me a quick kiss) Arra, arra. I'll see you later. Please let me know where you'll go. Update me always?

Me: Always.

Jimin, Jungkook, Tae: Omo, Jin Hyung. So manly (laughing)

RM: You got it bad bro (slaps Jin at the back).

I smiled, comforted by these maknaes. I'm slowly finding my home.

*At Mott 32*
The waiter asks if I need another drink, I nodded. I'm waiting for Oppa Jisub. He will talk sense to me, I know it.

My phone beeps —
Jin-giya: What's my name in your phone book?
Me: (smiled) Jin-giya. Better?
Jin-giya: Yes! ... where are you?
Me: Mott 32
Jin-giya: Fancy huh.
Me: Because it's private and you have to go through a lot before you can see us.
Jin-giya: I know. I miss you... I hope you won't change your mind about us?
Me: What are you talking about? Let's not do this - concentrate on your show. I feel so bad that I won't be able to watch your concert.
Jin-giya: You don't need to miss it, you know that right?
Me: Yes, but you have to agree it's for the best. I'll talk to you later. I asked the stylist to record it for me though.
Jin-giya: What?
Me: I have eyes all over - be good baby. Sarangheo.

SJS: Can I join you?

I smiled and looked up to him.

Me: Omo, my oppa is becoming more handsome. Aging like fine wine. Hahaha

SJS: Tsk, shame on you. Stop it. You don't want me to tell Jin-ah?

Me: Come, let's order and update me how you're doing. Heard that you won a lot of awards for your drama. I saw it actually, and it was really good.

SJS: How?

Me: TV. Lol. You know I have access to a lot of things?

SJS: Right, so why are you back?

I smiled sadly.

Me: I really don't know oppa. I miss Seoul. But I really think it has something to do with him. We didn't have a proper closure. Right after I left, I banned all calls - from everyone I know - and built my career in America, to my parents' surprise especially when they saw how the shows were, uhm, you know kind of different. Then I grew tired of it. I got sick with seeing the same people. I want to go home, feel at home. But the only home I know is him. He still has his powers over me. When I'm with Jin, everything is okay. I feel safe. But when I first saw him, my world crashed. I feel stupid because I still, think, I love him.

SJS: What a dilemma. And here I thought you already grew up? Jin Li, listen to me, home is not with him. Don't get me wrong - I like him, I've known him for as long as you do - but the moment he did that to you, I can't forgive him. I'm not saying you should not, but think about what life has to offer if you will lead it on your own terms. Don't think of him. You've been caged ever since your appa wanted you to marry him. Do something for you. Speaking of your appa, how is he taking this?

Me: He's happy for me. They haven't met but Tae helped - you know how my appa loves Taetae.

SJS: I know. But, Jin Li, please. I can feel that you still love him. I'm not saying that you must stop - if you want to, then you have to break things off with Jin. You might be confusing it for your love with Min Ho. I mean, you were together for the longest time. I know, it's hard to forget.

He continued —

SJS: But you have to decide now, darling. What you need to do? Maybe you should not get involved with anybody first?

Me: I don't know oppa.

SJS: Let's eat first. I know how you love food, and tell me all about Jin.

*After the concert*
Jin ran backstage to get his phone, and check his messages. Not one message?

He sent a message to Jin Li - hope everything is okay? Let me know if I should come to you?

RM: Good job everyone!! Let's have a good night's rest. We have a full week ahead! Yah, Jin? Everything okay?

Jin: No word. Maybe she's in the hotel?

Tae: Who is she with?

Jin: Chingu, So Jisub?

Tae: So Jisub? Ah okay. Don't worry hyung. He will take care of her.

Jin: I hope you're right. Gaja, maybe she's back in the hotel.

The boys successfully arrived at their hotel. By now, the ARMY already knows where they're staying for the duration of their trip. Their manager is thinking of placing them in a different hotel, but why bother, the ARMY will soon find out - again.

Jin knocked on the door to Jin Li's room. He swiped the access card, and saw the room empty. She's still out?

He whipped out his phone, called her a few times as he walked back to their room. He was greeted by Tae.

Tae: Is she home already?

Jin shook his head, waiting for Jin Li to answer her phone.

*At the Victoria Harbour*
I waved goodbye to Jisub, and asked the chaffeaur to drop me off the harbour. I just need a few moments to myself before I go back to the hotel.

He's right, I need to make a choice, but how when I can't even talk sense to myself.

I heard my phone ringing, saw the screen which says "Jin-giya."

Me: Jagiya...
