Set Me Free (Min Yoongi X BTS)

Chapter Eight - Another Invitation

As I'm gathering my clothing to get dressed, I look at my torn panties on the floor. I contemplate what to do with them. Take them with me, throw them in the garbage or....leave them for Yunki? I decide to make the bed and deposit the panties in the bed, for Yunki to find later and be reminded of the sweet ruins he left behind.

I dress and comb my hair. I pick up my bag and walk out into the living area, slowly, in trepidation of what or who I may find out there. Someone is sitting on the couch, looking at his phone.

Taehyung. "Hi, Taehyung?"

He looks up from his phone and leaps up from the couch, his hand at the ready. "Hi, you must be Y/N! Jungkook told me that Yunki had you over last night. I'm sorry I...didn't stick around to meet you."

I shake his hand, and his handshake is warm, firm, confident, and a little lingering.

Or was it me that was lingering? Am I also swaying a bit? Taehyung emits such a special aura, that fills the whole room and my entire being.

I stutter, "That's okay... It's...it's nice to finally meet you." I have to break his gaze before I fall down. I look around the living area, which is empty. "Uh, where did Jin go? He brought me breakfast and...."

Tae replies, "He left in a huff. He was muttering something under his breath. What happened?"

"No idea!"

"Well, I heard what he said. He said 'Damn, why did Yunki bring her here?' He seemed...angry."

I look at Taehyung in awkward bewilderment.

Suddenly, Jungkook appears out of nowhere. "Hey, oh, good, you guys met! Y/N, did you sleep well last night?" he says, with a devilish glint in his pretty eyes.

"Yeah, I had a great night, thanks."

Jungkook: "I told Tae that he missed a great piano performance. And that you played the saxophone in high school."

Taehyung: "Yeah, so did I. Do you still play?"

"No, I used to borrow the instrument from the school and didn't have my own, so I stopped playing after high school."

"Oh that's too bad. But I must admit I'm a little rusty too...Jungkook told me that you're from Canada. Do you have any pictures from Canada that I could look at?"

"Yes, actually I took a trip to the province of Newfoundland a few years ago and I made a slide show. I would like to show you that!"

Jungkook: "I want to see it too!"

We sit on the couch, Taehyung on one side of me, Jungkook on the other. I revel in the coziness of being between the two, their strong thighs alongside mine, the warmth radiating from their bodies so close to me. As I go through the slide show and talk about my trip to Newfoundland, they ooh and aah, gasping at the beautiful landscapes.

Taehyung, "These are great pictures! You are a talented photographer! What camera did you use?"

"Just my cell phone camera."

"Wow, impressive! Newfoundland is breathtaking! Is that like where you live?"

"No, I live in Toronto. A busy city much like Seoul."

"Yes, I know, we were there on tour! Did you come to our concert?"

"I was there."

"Oh, wow! Did Yunki bring an ARMY to the BTS dorm?" Taehyung says in an ironic tone.

Embarrassed, I look down. Taehyung immediately regrets his words. "Sorry, I didn't mean..."

I stand up from the couch. "It was great meeting you! But I have to get to my hotel to shower and change before I go out to do some sightseeing."
