The freezing days gradually were replaced with warmer ones as the anticipation of Spring neared. I always thought it was beautiful how the plumb blossoms appeared just before the warmer days. It instilled hope in me, and it was the precursor for those cherry blossoms which usually took the spotlight at the end of spring.
Over the holidays I picked up more shifts and focused on saving like as planned. I'd become a lot closer with some of the girls at work, and others still acted like the world revolved around them. Cece and I had bonded the most, to the point where some of the girls even joked about us being sisters. Having her around made the excessive drinking and those annoying clients that made me want to rip out my hair easier to endure. I'd been grinding hard and it hadn't gone unnoticed. I'd jumped up to number 3 in Monthly sales, and by the end of next month the quarterly ranks would be announced. They were more important in hindsight and I was hoping for a good result.
Ji Yong, or better known as G Dragon started visiting along with the other two recently. He chose Serina as his main, no surprise there. It just meant that taking her place at number 1 would be much harder, and, Cece and I have had to pretend to get along with her whenever the boys visited. It was a pain but so far so good. Nothing overly dramatic had happened and I was hoping it stayed that way.
Apart from that, the semester that was about to start was all paid for. It left my account looking dry but I'd fix that soon enough. I'd even managed to get a start on some of the upcoming material for my subjects. I'd tried to call my Mum over the holidays several times but the number was disconnected. I decided I had enough to worry about and tried to forget about it. I'm sure she'll get in touch with me when she can. My parents being unreliable was nothing new.
I'd spent some time with Yoongi and Hoseok over Christmas. Things got a bit wild but it was fun. Not long after that Hoseok found out about my job. At first he was a bit shook, said he didn't mind sharing me with Yoongi or Joon but outside of our group he couldn't come to terms with. We didn't talk for a week until Yoongi convinced Hoseok to let it go and just accept it. I was relieved when he finally came around and apologised, he even brought flowers. I remember crying which made him feel bad but, it was only because I was so relieved.
Since then it's been smooth sailing mostly. I missed the others while they've been gone. Tae sent me videos of him playing with his little cousins. Jimin regularly texted me hearts at midnight on the dot before I got into bed. Joon sent me pictures of art and beautiful skies he'd seen while away, and Jin ended up going back to see his family for a short while too but I haven't heard from him or Jungkook as of yet. But it was okay, everyone had their own lives to live. That's just how it is.
My class schedule was slightly different compared to last semester, but not overly so. I still had Language on Monday but instead my morning was free and it didn't start until after lunch.
I threw on some jeans, a cropped shirt and a light cardigan before leaving for said class. There was no guarantee I'd still be with Tae and Jimin but I prayed I would be as I left the house. As always, I picked up a coffee on the way. The lecture hall had changed to a different building, it was the same one where all the studios were only on a higher level.
As I walked in there were students taking their seats and some stood around in small groups and chatted. I scanned the room in hopes I'd see those familiar faces but then my sights stopped on the back of two heads. I knew those heads anywhere, it was definitely Jimin and Tae.
I rushed up the isle towards them, they still had their backs turned, clueless, so I snuck up closer.
"Surprise!" I linked my arms around theirs and squeezed myself into the small gap between them.
"Huh? Jia?" Tae looked absolutely baffled before he broke out into a chortled laugh. Jimin gasped and clung to his chest for fear of his life.
"Sorry- are you okay? What's goi-" I stopped as I realised that there were two girls standing in front of the boys. I had totally not noticed them before, seeing as Tae and Jimin were so tall that they'd blocked them out of view.
"Who're you?" One of them finally asked. I didn't like the tone she was using. "Jia. Are these your friends?" I directed my question to Tae and Jimin after answering her. Jimin laughed awkwardly before grabbing me and turning to leave. "Sorry, we gotta go. Might catch you around though" he gave a short wave. The girls didn't look all too pleased but I was more curious as to what that was all about. Tae followed along as Jimin pushed me into a nearby chair.
"I'm so glad to see you. Thanks for saving us back there" Jimin sighed as he leant back in his seat. "What's going on, I'm so confused. How do you know those girls?" I questioned.
"We don't, they just came up to us and asked if we wanted to go on a double date" Tae pursed his lips together as though not needing to say much else about the matter.
"Yeah. That's basically the gist of it. I was trying to let them down nicely seeing as I knew Tae couldn't do it" Jimin explained.
"I hate turning someone down, it's feels horrible" Tae interjected. "Oh… I see" I replied.
"Next time just tell them I'm your girlfriend. Then you won't have to turn anyone down" I chuckled. "I was actually thinking of saying that" Tae mentioned.
"You were? Oh, why didn't I think of that!" Jimin groaned. Tae chuckled lightly at his friends dismay.
"I'm just glad we're all in the same class again. Don't know what I'd do without you two" I sighed in satisfaction.
"Same. You know what we should do?" Jimin hummed.
"Hm?" I peeked up.
"Sleepovers at your place. How's Wednesday night?" Tae chimes in.
"Ahhhh, yesss. Let's do it" I enthused.
The three of us could barely sit still during class. We ended up whispering amongst ourselves for most of the time. The excitement of being back together after such a long time was too much for us to concentrate on anything else. Class came to an end but the three of us stayed back a little longer to talk.
"By the way, is Jungkook back from America yet? I haven't heard from him at all…" I took the chance to ask about him. Hoping that they might be able to shed some light on what was happening with him.
"Uhh. He got back this morning. He's probably just recovering from jet lag. I'm sure you'll hear from him soon" Tae reassured. "Okay. Relieved he made it back in one piece." I joked. Jimin clicked his phone to check the time.
"We should get going" he sighed. "Okay, I'll message you both about Wednesday" I gave them both a hug before parting ways.
On my way out of the building I was about to pass the trio rappers studio. Curiosity getting the better of me I decided to try my luck and see if anyone was in. I knocked on the door a few times and waited. Shortly after, a deep voice called out for me to come in so I pushed open the door.
Joon swivelled around from his seat at the computer desk, what was momentary shock turned into a full fledged dimpled smile.
"Hey, what're you doing here?" He stood up and came over to wrap his arms around me.
"I came to see if you were back." I explained.
"That's funny, I was just about to text you" Joon pulled away and looked down at me.
"It's telepathy" I winked as a joke. Joon just laughed. "I was going to ask if I could stop by yours later tonight?" He went on.
"Yeah, sure. I'll see you later then?" I smiled. "Mm. See you later baby girl" he quickly pecked my cheek. I decided to quickly go before he had a chance to see my cheeks flare up.
I hurried off to my last class for the day. As I sat through the lecture my mind wondered back to Jungkook. I decided to send him a message.
Jia: Kookie, I heard you got back this morning! Hope you're feeling alright and taking a good rest. Can't wait to see you and hear all about your trip ☺️ I miss you
I clicked my phone shut feeling excited for his reply, when class finished I picked up some Bibimbap and headed home.
When I got home I took a shower and changed into an oversized hoodie and shorts then spread out on the couch with my laptop. I'd been slowly compiling some lyrics to songs I'd promised to deliver to Tae, Jimin and Jungkook but it had proven harder than I thought. I wanted to make them special and meaningful which was why I'd settled for nothing less than perfection.
Time passed as the night set. I'd just glanced 9:47 pm in the bottom corner of my laptop when I heard a knock on the door. I jumped up to answer it.
"Hope I'm not too late" Joon stood in my doorway draped in all black casual wear holding a small blue box. "No, not at all" I stepped aside so that he could come in.
"How was your fist day back?" I asked as I closed the door behind him. "Yeah good. Just trying to ease back into it. Feels weird after being away for so long" he replied, taking a few strides over to the kitchen counter. I followed as he placed the small box down.
"May I ask?" I peered down and he laughed. "Yeah, they're for you anyways. Sweets for ma sweet girl" he opened up the box to reveal a four set of different coloured Macaroons.
"Aw. Seriously? That's so cute. Thank you" I brushed my hair aside and rubbed my face to try and hide my shyness. "No problem. Wasn't sure if you'd like them but-" he began to say but I quickly but in "No! no I love them! Im just shy" I started talking fast and then laughed awkwardly.
"Hm, you? Shy? Really?" Joon bent down to get a better look at my face. "Hey! Stop it~" I pushed him away but he just chuckled bemusedly. "Oh by the way, the sky is really clear tonight. I was thinking, did you want to sit out on the balcony?" I changed the subject.
"Yeah, I noticed it on my way here but couldn't stop to get a good look" Joon peered towards my balcony door window out to where the night sky peeked through. I clutched on to his arm and pulled him over to the balcony. As the weather had warmed slightly I'd decided to set up an outside lounge chair with cushions and sheets that fit snuggly between the wall and the railing. I tied a white canopy partially above to protect the fairy lights I'd draped inside the little hub.
"Wow, this looks good. Did you make this yourself?" Joon stepped out first and poked his head inside.
"Yeah, thought it'd be nice to have somewhere to relax when the warmer weather came" I replied. Joon crawled in and propped himself up against a stack of cushions.
"You coming?" He asked as he patted the space between his legs so I crawled in and settled in his arms.
The sky was clear dark midnight blue, bright dots scattered as far as the eye could see. The faint sound of the city bustle almost drowned out by the serenity of the moment. I light chill in the breeze that blew by made me shiver.
"You cold?" Joon didn't wait for an answer as he wrapped his arms tighter around me. "I'm okay. You're warm" I replied. Joon gently trailed kissed along the back of my neck.
"The stars look so pretty. And there's so many of them" I sighed as I stared out into the vast twilight above. "Mm. Have you heard of the Microcosm-Macrocosm analogy?" Joon's voice resides in my ear. "Maybe, isn't it about there being some relation to human beings and the cosmos?" I recalled something I'd vaguely touched on in high school during my philosophy elective.
"Yeah. Something like that. Recently, when I stared up at the stars it reminded me of you" Joon's voice was low and relaxed. I peered across from one star to another, contemplating his words.
"Aw. Because… Each start in the cosmos could represent a person?" I mumbled to myself. "Mm. Flipped, Inside everyone is their own cosmos." Joon replied.
"Sounds like it needs to be a song" I chuckled quietly. "Then I'll write it" Joon whispered.
"I missed you. I missed this" I turned my head, he lowered his gaze and looked back at me. His nose nearly touching mine. "Me too. To be honest, I couldn't wait to get back" his voice low, I quivered. This intimacy, it was enough to melt in. "Did you think about me?" I questioned, my voice barely a whisper. I felt his nose brush mine, like an Eskimo kiss.
"Do I really need to say it?" Joons cheek brushed against mine as he leaned to whisper in my ear. "I want to hear it" I gently nuzzled my cheek along his, it was enticingly soft.
"I couldn't stop thinking about you". I felt Joons hand tangle into my hair and gently tug my head back. His tongue slipped into my mouth, he'd never kissed me with such ferocity. I was swept up in his arms as he switches positions. His arm still clenched my hair beneath my head as I now lay underneath him.
"Joon, what're you doing?" I breathed between kisses. "Something I should've done a long time ago" he breathed. Strong thighs forced themselves between my legs, the thin fabric of my shorts and his track pants was all that was between us as he grinded hard. I groaned and clung to his shoulders.
"When I think back on it, I regretted not fucking you in front of the fireplace that night". As he spoke my vision was filled with him looking down at me hungrily. Another wave of pleasure ran through me as he grinded into me. "Do it. Fuck me" Being underneath him like this, all my inhibition was lost.
"Oh I plan to. But first, think it's only fair you earn it baby girl". Before I knew what was happening he's picked me up again. I squealed out of surprise but was quickly placed back down on his lap straddling him.
"Joon, I'm not a rag doll ya know!" I hit his chest but he just gave a sly laugh. "Nah. More like my baby doll. So how about you be a good girl and get to work" he mused as he folded his arms behind his head. I felt myself flush under his heavy lidded gaze. "Fine, let's see how much you can take" I slid my hand over his hardness and groped it through his pants. He held his composure so well. I pulled down the waistband. It popped out strong, my jaw nearly went slack as I stared at how huge it was. Would it even fit?
"Hm? What's wrong? Not having second thoughts are we?" Joon teased, biting at his lip slightly. "Mm. No… you're just so big" I took it and started to work it slowly over in my hand before pulling my shorts aside and lining myself up to take him.
"Just take it nice and easy then" Joon reached out and held my hand for support as I slowly pushed myself down onto his dick. He was so thick, I could feel him stretching me out the deeper I sat on him.
"Fuck, your so tight" he groaned, his other hand moving to grip my hip. I slowly started to ride him, luckily he didn't move and let me be in control. It felt so good but I had to be careful not to go too far down, I couldn't take all of him it was just too much.
"Joon, does it feel good?" I whimpered, I could feel myself getting wetter and my motioned getting more fluid. "Yeah, so good. You look so sexy right now" Joon smiled between heavy breaths. "I'm gonna come soon, feels too good" I admitted, with every thrust the way his knob rubbed on the inside of my walls was sending me over.
"Good, come all over my dick baby" his deep voice only intensified my climax. I twitched around him as it washed over, all my energy drained my body as I fell forward onto his chest. "God that's so hot" Joon breathed as he wrapped his arms around me to hold me in place. I clung to his jumper and buried my face into it to stifle my moans as he started to fuck into me hard and fast chasing his own release. Soon enough he spilt hot in me and went limp.
"You sleepy?" Joon asked as he peered down at me, I was a complete mess still sprawled out on his chest. "A little, I can't fall asleep here can I?" I mumbled, not having the energy to even look up at him. "Probably not a good idea. Let's get you into bed instead" Joon carefully picked me up and carried me back into my bedroom. "I'm sorry, that just took so much out of me" I felt him place me in bed and pull the blanket over me.
"It's alright, get some sleep. And if you're not busy tomorrow night come by the club" Joon softly kiss me on the forehead. I turned on my side to face him and snuggled into comfort of the sheets. "Okay, I'll come see you tomorrow" I said sleepily. "Night Jia. Sweet dreams".
