TOUCH (KNJ)

THIRTEEN

She was running with all her might out of coffee shop, barefoot, heels in her hand and completely soaked as it poured. There was cold breeze due to the rain as she made her way to the company bumping into several people on the way, apologizing to some and ignoring the others. 

Blisters had formed in the soles of her feet but she didn't care anymore. With every loud step she risked slipping and injuring herself but none of it mattered right now. Her mind wasn't working about anything else but him. She ran till she reached the entrance of the building and dropped her heels by the security room. Panting heavily and shivering, she whipped her phone out. God bless the man who made the suit and inserted a pocket on the inside. 

With shaky hands, she dialled Taehyung's number which he picked up as soon as it rang. 

"I'm here," she whispered in a hoarse voice and he immediately cut the call, rushing downstairs. 

"He's gonna be here any minute." Taehyung whispers, wrapping Ivy in his cardigan and waiting with her in the parking lot of the company. 

"He already is," she says smiling from ear to ear for the first time since the past six weeks. There he was, walking towards them with eyes glued to his phone screen, luggage in hand, looking even more gorgeous than she last saw him. He slowly brings his eyes up, locking them directly with Ivy. A shocked expression is painted across his face as he locks his phone screen putting it in his pocket. She hands the cardigan back to Taehyung with a small smile and runs up to the only person she had ever wanted this bad. 

"I'm gonna kiss you," she announces louder than usual as she comes to a halt directly in front of him. He doesn't even process what she said when she throws her arms around his neck, pulling his head lower and closer. As soon as her lips press against his, he sighs out of ecstasy, hands forming tight little fists in the air. She parts her lips tip-toeing to reach up and rests her feet on top of his. He wraps his arms around her waist hoisting her up so she reaches up till his level of sight. 

She rests her hand on his shoulders and the other one cups the side of his face as he deepens the kiss tilting his head to the side. He slowly puts her down to her feet, hesitant to pull away. 

"I missed you so much," she whispers pecking his lips multiple times. 

"I'm sorry-" she pressed a finger to his lips before wrapping arms around his waist and head resting against his chest. He chuckles waddling towards Taehyung with a human sized Koala latched onto him. 

"Hey man, heard she's been giving you too much work." Namjoon says shaking hands with him. 

"Don't get me started." He states chuckling slightly. Ivy snickers along, looking up at Namjoon with her chin on his chest. He raises an eyebrow in question but she just shrugs. 

"Alright guys, I guess you can do this at home, I'll be going back up." 

"Ivy? Where are your shoes?" Namjoon asks inspecting her feet carefully. 

"They're right by the security room, you go get your luggage and we'll go home," 

"Mhm, okay which one?" He asks as she skedaddles with her heels in hands. 

"Mine, I left everything switched on inside," she says bouncing on her feel lightly. 

"Were you that eager to see me?", he asks settling his luggage inside the taxi he had called. She nods vigorously before kissing his cheek again. He chuckles kissing the top of her head. 

"Let's go, you're drenched and shivering," the two get into the car and soon enough the apartment complex becomes visible. She hops off impatiently tapping her foot. 

He holds her hand in one and the luggage in the other one as they go up the elevator. As soon as the elevator dings open, she opens the door, pushes the luggage in and pulls Namjoon in by the sleeve. 

"Do you wanna take a shower? You must be exhausted from all the travelling." She says getting rid of her blazer and heels again. He hums, stretching his body upward before falling on the couch due to exhaustion. 

"Aw my poor Joonie," she coos, smooshing his face in her palms as his head rests on the headrest of the couch and she leans on it from behind. 

"What's up with you today? Didn't you say affection was disgusting?"  

"Not with you," He hums slipping his shoes off. She comes up in front of him, setting them aside. 

"I wanted to ask for something," she says opening the cuffs of her shirt and leaving them loose. 

"What?" 

"I want a hoodie."

"You want me to buy y- oh, you want my hoodie," he says as realization hits him. 

"I have a clean one in my bag, you can take it if you want,"

"Give it to me," 

He opens the uppermost half of the bag, pulling out a nice blue hoodie and handing it to her. She quickly takes a warm shower, skipping out of the bathroom and runs into the living room but he wasn't there. Ivy's anxiety resurfaces but she hears a few rustling sounds in her bedroom making her sigh in relief. 

"Ooh," she says as soon as she enters the room but slaps a hand to her mouth immediately. Namjoon was standing shirtless in her room with his back facing her. 

He turned around at the sound with raised brows and snickers escaping his mouth. She flushes red in embarrasment while he walks up to her just in his joggers which were hanging a little low than necessary. 

"Aren't you gonna put your shirt back on?" She asks as he ruffles his hair, shaking his head. 

"I sleep shirtless but if you want I'll put it back on." 

"Don't." she says smiling and tip-toeing to reach his lips. 

"You are a tiny person." He comments picking her up by the waist and she settles her hands on the bare skin of his shoulders. Goosebumps rising on his skin with every touch. 

"Cuddles." She whispers repeatedly in hopes he'd hear it as he carries her to the couch. 

"Yes, I heard you Ivy. Now tell me where do you wanna sleep? Couch or floor?" 

"Couch." 

"Wouldn't it be a little small? The floor would be more comfortable since we can just put up a lot of blankets and sleep on them." He puts her down on couch, so she's fairly taller than him. 

"Yeah, I didn't think of that. The blankets are on my bed let me get them." She says jumping off the couch. She quickly throws all the blankets on the carpet making a fluffly bed while he got them pillows. Namjoon sat down on the couch while she was drinking water. 

"Can I kiss you again?" She asks, getting onto his lap, straddling him. 

"Of course Baby," the word makes her stomach double over so a second and she bites her lip. 

"Call me baby all the time," she says before pressing her lips to his softly. His hands land on her hips, holding them softly as the kiss goes on. 

She unconciously slides her down on his chest and stomach so he pulls away. 

"Alright that's enough for now." He says taking a deep breath. She smiles and gets off his lap, rolling onto the blankets and landing on her stomach with legs and arms spread out like a starfish. Namjoon walks upto her and drops himself right onto her. 

"Ugh, Oh my god, you're so heavy," He chuckles still not moving even after she wriggled repeatedly. 

"Get off me you giant stupid bear," He chuckles rolling onto his back and pulling her upon him. 

"So you think I'm a giant stupid bear?" he questions as she shushes him snuggling into his chest as he wraps both of them as a burrito into one of the blankets. She slowly falls asleep, feeling comfortable and warm inside out. 

"Good night Joon."
