Breathless

Chapter 10

*Listen to Untitled Love Song by Henry while reading this chapter*

At the end of the day, Mr. Kim comes to get Jongsuk again. I say my goodbyes to them both and try not to say anything to Jongsuk to make him stay. It's becoming harder for me to watch him walk out of here. I just want for him to be able to stay here, but that can't happen because then Mr. Kim will get suspicious. I just want Jongsuk to be by my side forever.

I sit at my desk and I sigh. He will be back tomorrow. Everything will be fine. I look through the pictures that I took of him today and I smile. I really do love him a lot. I don't think I've ever been this happy before. I turn off my computer and then look across my studio to my mattress on the floor. I guess I will go get ready for bed then come back out here to sleep. I wish Jongsuk was here with me.

I get up and go into my apartment. I take a quick shower and grab something to eat before going back into my studio to sleep. I sit on my bed as I eat my food. I lay down after I finish. This place really is quiet and lonely without Jongsuk. I close my eyes and let sleep take me.

I wake up the next morning and try to turn onto my back. I can't move because there are arms wrapped around me. I turn my head slightly to see Jongsuk laying behind me. Our eyes meet and he smiles.

"When did you get here?" I ask him and he chuckles.

"A few minutes ago. You looked so comfortable that I had to lay with you." He tells me and I smile.

"It's very lonely here without you." I say.

"I will stay over again soon." He says and sits up. He moves and ends up lightly sitting on my waist. I bite my lip as I look at him.

"Come down here and kiss me." I tell him softly. Jongsuk smirks and leans down. Our lips touch and it's like we haven't kissed in awhile. The want and need quickly takes over the both of us and our kissing becomes faster. Our kissing becomes heated and it escalates to clothes being thrown on the floor. We start to form together and move as one.

As we both climax, Jongsuk goes and bites my collar bone again. I grab onto his back because the feeling is so overwhelming. He lays down beside me after and we look at each other. He lays his hand on my cheek.

"I love you." He smiles softly.

"Hm." I sigh happily. "I love you too."

"I'm going to take a shower. Want to join?" He asks me. I smile and nod. We both get off of my mattress and gather our clothes off the floor. He leads the way into my apartment and into my bathroom. I get into the shower before Jongsuk and just let the water run over me. The hot water feels so good. Jongsuk gets into the shower and I let him under the water. He lets the water run over him too. We both take turns under the water and then we both get out.

I wrap myself in a towel and go into my room to figure out what to wear. I glance at Jongsuk as we comes out. He is fully dressed again. I look into my closest to find something to wear. He comes up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist. He lays his head on my shoulder and then kisses my neck.

"Thank you for willing to take pictures of me back then. I'm not sure what I would be doing without you right now." He says softly. I smile.

"I don't regret it at all. It was the best decision I have made." I reply.

"You make this life worth living." He says. I look over and he has his eyes closed.

"Jongsuk." I say quietly. His eyes open and look at mine.

"Tabby, my manager isn't that great. If you see bruises on me they are from him. He has been nice to me lately and it's because of you. He trusts me being here." He explains to me. My eyes get wide and I think back to when we first started meeting. He has bruises on him, but I never questioned it.

"I'm so sorry I never paid attention." I say and then suddenly think of something. "What will happen if he finds out about us?"

Jongsuk stands up straight and turns me around.

"You never have to worry about that. I'm going to protect you through anything and everything." He tells me. We look at each other and say nothing. I walk into his arms and he hugs me tight. I trust Jongsuk no matter what and I believe him.

After I get dressed in a t-shirt and skinny jeans, we go into my studio and start our session for the day. I have Jongsuk dressed in a orange shirt and gave him some flowers to play with while I takes pictures of him. Like normal we get through the shoot pretty quickly. I hook up my camera to my computer to transfer the pictures.

I turn around and up to Jongsuk, who still has the flowers. He smiles at me and holds out the flowers. Instead of grabbing the flowers I grab the front of his shirt and bring him closer to me. The flowers are forgotten and end up on the floor. He leans down and his lips kiss mine slowly. I start to smile and I bite his lip ever so slightly. He groans softly.

At this moment my studio door opens. I hear it start to open and I jump away from Jongsuk as fast as I can. My footing catches and I end up on the floor. I wince as the pain hits me. Jongsuk looks at me with wide eyes.

"Tabby, are you..." He starts, but stops and we both look over at the door. Mr. Kim is looking at the both of us.

"Everything okay?" He asks us. I nod and try my best not to wince while getting up.

"Everything is good." I tell him with a smile.

"Mr. Kim, I need to stay tonight again. We have a lot of stuff to do." Jongsuk tells his manager. I glance at him and hope that we don't look suspicious. Mr. Kim sighs.

"Fine, but tonight will be the last for awhile. You have filming to do." He says. Jongsuk nods. I bow my head to him.

"Thank you." I tell Mr. Kim. He nods and leaves my studio. I almost fall back onto the floor. I didn't realize that my heart was beating so fast. Jongsuk looks at me.

"Are you okay? You fell pretty hard."

"I'm sorry about that." I tell him. My eyes start filling up with tears. He frowns and comes over to me.

"It's alright." He says and pulls me to his chest. I just freely start crying into his chest. I was so scared in that moment. I really thought it was the end for us.
