"hello?"

"did you see her?"

"yes, brother."

"what happened?"

"fans started tearing her apart."

"what then? did you use the gun?"

"no, someone took her away."

"what? who?"

"i don't know but i heard her yelling taehyung."

"..."

"brother?"

"taehyung...he's going to get in the way...

next time, we kill them both."

BEEP BEEP

the fireplace cast long shadows over the vintage rug. i gazed upon her radiant green eyes as it reflected the fiery sparks of the fire. her soft lips blossomed into a smile as she stared at my expression, her eyebrows raised a bit. i travelled my gaze down, seeing myself unknowingly poke my empty plate with my fork.

"still hungry?" she asked with a hint of humour.

"no," i responded quietly, cheeks burning from the slight embarrassment. aera let out a giggle as she wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin.

her eyes travelled around her surroundings. it was a different vibe in my apartment tonight. it was chilly outside as winter started rolling in. i continued staring at the female seated in front of me. she was wearing a red fur sweater, a thread of pearls around her neck and her brown hair curled delicately and tied into a loose ponytail. she looked breathtaking.

i heard her speak, "sorry for intruding your home, i literally can't go anywhere without the paparazzi following me." i shook my head and placed my fork down on the table, replying, "it's no trouble. you're no stranger to me." aera beamed at my response and nodded.

there was a moment of silence where she looked around the place. there was a photo frame on the wall of seven guys. she smiled and asked, "is that you and your friends?"

i peered over to where she was looking. that photo was taken a few years ago, before we all separated. i nodded in response and said, "yeah, it was our last day in training. everyone's doing their own thing now."

"do you keep in touch with them?" she asked, staring at the photo.

"not really. four of them moved out of korea, so i only keep in touch with jimin who's an investigator working for the police. seokjin hyung is also in korea but i haven't seen him in ages."

aera smiled, nodding at my words. she turned back to look at me and said, "now you live by yourself?" there was old and dusty furniture placed around the room, showing how little i stayed here. i nodded, my eyes boring into hers.

"i wouldn't be a very nice person to live with," i replied honestly. it's in my personality to be aggressive and rude towards people. i push people away even when they seem to care. i was a bad person.

aera gave me a look and said quietly, "well, i think you're a nice person." with a little smile on my lips, i asked, "yeah?" she nodded back with a cute smile.

we continued talking like this for a couple of hours. there was never a dull moment with her, she always had something to say. i was really happy, she made me happy. it's been a long time since i've felt like this.

i felt my heart beat pace quicken when she slowly rose from her seat. her eyes were on me as she offered her hand towards me. i looked at it strangely, confused over her actions.

"let's dance, taehyung."

"oh," i breathed out, staring at her hand. it was never my thing to dance, i always avoided school dances. i never liked it. that was until this moment where aera held her hand out to me. i decided then that it didn't hurt to try. i subconsciously stood up and held her warm hand.

she dragged my figure over to the middle of the room. the soft jazz playing in the music seemed to grow louder. aera turned towards me, staring up at my tall height. she gingerly wrapped her arms around my neck, a shy smile placed on her lips. i placed my hands on her waist, smiling down at her.

our bodies slowly rocked together to the music. the music acted as the only source of sound in the room. the pair was quiet, both in their own world of thoughts.

aera finally broke the silence, saying, "i wanna ask you something."

"am i gay? because no, i'm not," i said, grinning at her. she smacked my chest with wide eyes.

"no! i mean, that's good to know but no," she looked down, hiding a smile. i smiled, waiting for her question. she avoided my eyes and smiled, looking coy.

"do you like someone?"

"yeah," i said, causing her to quickly look at me. she frowned and asked, "who?"

"jaeho," i responded. her eyes widened and she smacked my chest again, saying, "you said you weren't gay!" i smiled bigger than before, letting out a laugh.

"i'm kidding, he's just a good friend," i replied, stifling a laugh, "but to answer your question, i do like someone." drawing her body closer to mine.

aera's face changed to a little upset. she looked up at me and asked, "who?"

i smiled, bringing her body a little closer, "well, a person who can be stupid at times but they're also very sweet and kind. i only met them recently but i've already fallen so deep."

i watched as aera frowned, looking away from me. she said, "she sounds nice." it took every once of my being to stop myself from rolling my eyes. i looked at her, tugging her even closer.

"you idiot, i like you."

she instantly lifted her head after hearing my words. her eyes widened as her mouth gaped open. a chuckle escaped my lips as i watched her cute self. unable to control myself, i leant in and gave a little peck on her nose. this caused her cheeks to turn bright red.

"i like someone too," she said in the smallest voice.

"yeah?" i asked, resisting a smirk.

"he's very caring and handsome but sometimes can be a big meanie," aera explained, smiling while moving in towards me. i chuckled again as i rested my forehead against hers.

"you're so cute," i quietly mumbled, smiling hard.

"no, you are," aera said as the tips of our noses touched. she tilted her chin up and gently placed her soft lips on mine. i felt my heart beating faster and faster.

gently, i placed my hand on her cheek and pulled her closer. our innocent kiss soon turned into a fierce and passionate one. i felt overwhelmed with lust as her lips tasted sweet. it was addictive.

i accidentally let out a moan when she tugged onto my hair. my hands slid around her body, feeling every curve of her perfect figure.

unable to contain myself anymore, i lifted her up as she wrapped her legs around my waist. with our lips still locked, i carried her to my bedroom.

i stepped inside and locked the door behind me.

fuck the contract.

she's mine.
