The day had come. You're finally going to the mall with Jongin today. The initial day you guys had planned, you slept all day and ended up ignoring all his messages while sleeping. Ten scolded you the next day... It might seem a bit awkward at first but you just want to have a good time and let him know he doesn't have to feel sorry every time he talks to you. You genuinely liked Jongin a lot, even if he was the forbidden fruit, you had already promised yourself you'd get him one day. Since you told him your mom had left for such a long time, Jongin had taken up an almost brotherly role, bringing you food sometimes, you and him had gotten so close, he doesn't even knock to come in, but at the same time, he would scold you for leaving the door unlocked. Some nights, Jongin, Ten, and yourself would have movie marathons but you would always end up in the corner alone when the horror films were put on and him and Ten would be latched onto each other, squealing. Even with becoming closer, Jongin still has walls that he just won't, for some reason let down when he's with you. Even if he's 21, you can still have a friendship. At least that's what you thought... As you were upstairs, changing you hear a deep, but distinct voice call your name. "Kalah?" Jongin calls out your name sweetly. "Just a second Jongin!" you yell back, thinking he can hear you. As you're trying to figure out how your tiny, multi-strapped bralette goes on, someone snatches open the door from behind you and you shriek, turning around with the piece of fabric in your hands. "GET OUT OH MY GOD!" you yell at Jongin as he screams and slams the door behind him. Jongin places his mouth against the corner of the door and says "Kalah i'm so sorry! I had no idea you were in there...changing. I would've never opened the door I swear,". Jongin places his hand on the door, basically pulling himself off of it as if his face was sticking to the wood and slowly gulps as he closes his eyes, trying to concentrate and gain control of his mind again. Jongin feels his heart thump, and thump again as he places a hand over it, hoping for it to settle down. As Jongin hopes for the pink and red tones on his cheeks to fade, he hears a faint and little "Okay i'm done, you can come in now,". Jongin peels his body off the wall and turns the doorknob. Kalah, which has a very faint haze of pink over her cheek, smiles an almost unnoticeable smirk and says "It's okay jongin, you didn't mean to, I understand, are you driving?". Jongin smiles and mutters out a small "yeah,". You and Jongin walk down the stairs and he walks to his car ahead of you and opens your door. You walk up to him and smile. As you're getting in, he hovers his hand above your head, so you don't hit the edge of the door. You sit and he reaches over you, pulling the seat belt over your abdomen and buckling you in. He shuts the door, walking over to the driver side and gets in. After, he backs out, placing a hand behind the head of your seat and switches gears. As you make your way to the mall, he turns up the music and you both sit there, singing to Dean's 'I'm not sorry'. You laugh at him as he bursts out in small dances, yelling out the lyrics. The both of you finally arrive and walk in. There were more people than you expected here, in fact, you might even say it was too full. As you try to walk into the first store you see, just like you do with Ten, you feel someone grab a hold of your hand. You look up and see Jongin looking down at you and he says "Just so I don't lose you," he smiles and follows your lead into the store. About 15 stores later and 13 bags, you think you're finally finished shopping. Jongin was holding around 7 bags, 3 of them yours that he offered to carry. You walk towards the food court, feeling a little hungry, when something catches your eye. You had been avoiding Victoria's Secret, in pardon of Jongin, a grown man being with you. You stop in your tracks, feeling Jongin unlatch from your hand, to turn to you. "You can go in if you want it's fine. You went into the Supreme store with me, I'll go in," he says and gives you a reassuring smile. You look back at him, with a bit of a questioning look in your eyes. He nods and you make your way to the entrance. As you're almost halfway through he grabs a hold of your hand, looks down at you and grins. You start looking at the underwear sets on display when out of the corner of your eye, you see a worker come up to you, eyes on Jongin. "Can I help you with anything? Would you like me to measure you?" she says, with a sas in her tone. You look back at her and say "No that's fine, thank you I'm just looking for something I can wear everyday," you motion with your hands towards the underwear and bras. "Okay let me show around," she leads you to the big drawers and opens one with bras. You tell her your size and ask her to put some bras you'd picked out into a changing room. Jongin just quietly follows you and the girl around, curiously looking at everything. When you're finally done looking through everything and ready to try them on, the girl looks at you and asks "I got this room ready for you, is this one okay or would you like a larger one for the both of you?" she gestures towards Jongin and he clears his throat, obviously feeling awkward. Your eyes widen "Oh no no, that's fine," you say and look at Jongin. "I'll be just a second, okay?" you say and he nods. "Okay, I'll stand here." he says while folding his hands to the bottom of his stomach like he's your bodyguard. You try on all of the pieces of fabric and finalize your decision of what to keep and what not to keep. You finish and walk out, with it all in your hands, as you walk up to the checkout counter. You reach down to your purse, going for your wallet when you see a hand, with a card in between the index and middle finger. Before you know it, jongin takes his hand and pulls yours away from your bag. Jongin takes his right hand, grabbing the bag and uses his left to take a hold of yours. Before you can speak, he cuts you off with a "Are you hungry? Let's eat," as he leads you to the food court. You order what you want to eat and Jongin pays, again. After you both finish eating, the both of you go back to Jongin's car and he buckles you in again. Making your way home, Jongin looks at you, and takes your hand in his, moving your fingers around and finally sliding his between yours, placing your hand on top of the center console, sliding his thumb across the top of your hand. "I had a lot of fun today, did you?" he asks, shifting his head to yours and eventually returning it back to the road. You take in a calm, deep breath, releasing it as you spill out your words. "Yeah it was fun, my stomach's so full from all that food though," you smile at him. Jongin grins and puts on a calm song. At this moment you're both feeling so calm and comfortable, you drift away slowly as your eyes flutter, resting down finally letting you sink into a light sleep. I want you so bad but I just can't Kalah, it's too risky. Two years. Why couldn't you just be eighteen?  You feel a pair of arms around you, legs walking up the stairs. You feel the warmth of your mattress engulf you. You still stay there, eyes closed, breathing heavy. Jongin places a piece of hair behind your ear, slowly caressing your face as he goes down, to the end of your neck, and pulling his head away. You hear and feel his presence slowly fade away from you. You quickly open your eyes wide, pulling the phone from your pocket, checking the time and then you hear the front door close, indicating Jongin has left. You pick up your phone back to your face, and frantically look for Ten's name in the recent calls. You hear a crack and a "yes traitor," you roll your eyes and smile. "Ten be quiet and get your ass over here now, I have tea," you drag out tea and hand up the phone, not letting him give you an excuse as to why he's too lazy to leave his bed.
