I placed the call on speaker.
"How are you?"
"I'm fine. Are you studying well?"
"Yeah. Mom, is Soojin and dad there with you?"
"I'll put them on speaker." She said.
"Yuna! How is college?" I heard my sister's voice.
"It's going great. Um- I have something to tell all of you." I looked up at Jinyoung who gave a small nod.
"What is it?" my mom asked.
"I- actually have a boy I like- and-"
"I knew it!" My sister yelled. I face-palmed internally. "Yuna! Is he hot? How does he look?!"
"Um- He is with me, listening to you , in fact."
"EH? Why didn't you tell me sooner?" she exclaimed. "F- this is embarrassing. " she muttered.
"I'm Jinyoung. Nice to meet you."
"Um hello-" my dad spoke up finally.
"Jinyoung?" my mom called.
"Yes?"
"Do you- love my daughter?"
"Yes." He pulled my chin towards him, making me look at him. "I love your daughter more than anyone else in this world. Please accept me, and our relationship." He smiled at me, pressing his lips onto mine.
"It is also my duty to say this. I know you know this. But if you ever hurt her, I'll chase you down to the ends of the earth." My mom said.
"Mom? Why is dad silent?"
"No no. I'm here." He said. "Jinyoung. Please protect her in my place. She might be an idiot sometimes. And she's sometimes really sensitive. Since you've been with her, I hope you've known enough about her. If my daughter is the one who chose you, then we're more than glad to accept you."
"Thank you" Jinyoung said.
"I think I'll cut the call now. Please take care of yourselves, you all."
"Your parents are so sweet." Jinyoung said, when we stepped into his house. I grinned. "But you're more sweet". He pulled me into his arms, near the doorway. He kissed me passionately, savoring every second that passed by. Time went slow. He sucked on my upper lip and pushed his tongue into my mouth. Our kisses were wet, and slow.
He slowly licked my lower lip and went down to my neck. He sucked onto the sensitive spot on my neck, making me moan. He left a hickey there, and went down to my neckline, embracing my body with his hands all the while.
I let him take off my coat. My legs went numb, when he sucked onto another sensitive spot on my neck. His body was the only thing that supported me. I felt shivers down my spine when his fingers traced my back.
His touch aroused me. I felt goosebumps rising on my body when he pulled off my black T-shirt which was tucked in my black high-waist shorts. I was wearing a bra underneath. I felt shy all of a sudden, so I pulled back. I hugged him tight, so that he wouldn't see me with only my bra on or my face flushing red. Both of our bodies were pressed together.
"Yuna- I already saw you with only a bra. It's too late."
"Sh-shut up."
"What do you plan on doing now?" he giggled.
"I- don't know." I mumbled. "Close your eyes and turn around."
"I can't resist you if you're going to be this adorable."
"Did you close your eyes?"
"Yeah." He muttered.
"You sure?"
"Mm" I looked up at him just to make sure he wasn't looking. I unwrapped my hands which were around him and covered my body with my hands.
"N-now turn around, with your eyes closed." He did as he was told. "Wh-where's my shirt?"
"I don't know. Want me to search for it?"
"No!"
"Oh I found it. It was in my hand all along." He grinned mockingly.
"Hand it over."
"Come in front of me, then I'll give it back."
"Close your eyes then"
"Nope" he said flatly.
"P-Please."
"Then I'll keep it." He shrugged.
"I'll do anything. Please." My face went hot.
"Hmmm". I knew he was thinking something devil-like. "Do whatever I say for a week. "
"But if I say yes to that, won't it include something sexual more than this?"
"Ah smart you are. I thought you'd give in without thinking. Well, probably. But you'll like it." I fell silent. "It won't be that harsh, darling." he added.
"Y-you promise?"
"Mmm."
"Y-you're kidding me." I sighed. My mind was going haywire. "Fine!" He gave my shirt back to me without turning back. I put it on.
"Good girl." He pat my head. "Too bad there was a reflection of you on the TV screen." He grinned. Aahh. My body turned hot. My legs went weak and I slumped onto the floor.
"Yuna. I have something to tell you I haven't told for somewhat a long time."
"What?" I asked from the same position.
"Do you remember the time when all of us—Sakura, Kiu, Jin-ae, Daehyun and Soo-ah—went to the club?"
"Yeah?"
"Um- well. I'm sorry." He sat down beside me on the floor, looking down.
"Why?"
"Jin-ae was hitting on me- that night, when you were drunk. She kissed me. But I pulled away, as quickly as I could."
"I'm not surprised." I shook my head.
"You aren't upset with me?" he looked up at me.
"How could I be? She was the one who did it. Plus, it's Jin-ae we're talking about. She never leaves a guy without a kiss" I chuckled. He gave a peck on my forehead.
"But even so, It's my fault. I'll be more cautious next time. I promise you." He smiled.
"Jinyoung"
"Hm?"
"Jinyoung"
"I'm listening."
"I miss Jun." I declared.
"Why all of a sudden?"
"I don't know. He was the one who really took care of me before college started. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have met you. I would have been lonely. Also, he was the first best friend I've had. You already know we used to talk online during my school days. But to be honest, he was the one who kept me going then."
"I understand. Do you want to meet him again?"
"I can't face him."
"But you miss him."
"What if I break down crying?" I looked at him.
"I'll come with you in that case. Do you want to go now?"
I thought for a while. "Ok". I sent Jun a message, asking whether the three of us could meet up at the café nearby. He replied with an 'ok'. I covered the hickey on my neck with my hair, and we set off.
Jun entered the café late.
"What did you want to talk about?"
"I'm sorry. For ignoring you all this time."
"Doesn't matter. Come to the point.". Why is he acting so cold? Tears were threatening to fall down my eyes. I took in a deep breathe. Nothing will happen if I'm going to be sensitive.
"Is there- a chance that we could go back- to being best friends?"
"Depends." He leaned back into the chair.
"On what?"
"On how this guy treats me, on how comfortable I can be around you, on how I can resist you." he smiled. I sniffed, rubbing my eyes with the back of my hand.
"This is enough you fucking bastard-" Jinyoung got up and grabbed Jun's collar. "Are you a fucking moron or what?! You're making her apologize when the one who did the wrong thing was you. Do you even understand how much hurt she is? It's not enough even if I smash your fucking girl face because it doesn't even amount to how much you hurt her. Well I know that you won't even fucking understand cuz you're fucking bitch face huh. " He clattered the table when he left the café. Everyone around us were staring at us.
"He made a scene at last huh?" he said shallowly. "Knew this would happen. "
"Why are you- like this?" I hid my face with my hand.
"Sorry hun. I had to do it to forget you. Stop asking for me anymore." he smiled. "Farewell." He stood up and left.
"Uh- Um- Mam? Can I take your order?" A young lady appeared beside me. I sniffled, and adjusted my position, rubbing the tears from my eyes.
"I-I'll have a lemonade." I knew people around me were talking about what happened on what they heard. I didn't care. I knew that Jinyoung would come back so I waited and he did, five minutes later.
"Are you alright?" I asked, feeling a lot better than before.
"I should be asking that to you."
"I'm fine. If he decides to leave me then that's that. What's up with the sudden anger?"
"I don't know. It came outta nowhere. Sorry, maybe I caught too much attention in the café. People are talking about us." he looked around.
"It's okay. Do you want something to drink?"
"Nah. I'm good. I want a bit of yours though." He looked deep into my lemonade with twinkling eyes.
I laughed. "It's all yours."
