summary: Switching to a new major is always nerve-wracking, but having a totally hot TA to look at for the rest of the semester sure does ease the painâŚ
|01|
As the semester trudged on, you were soon thrown into the whirlwind that was midterms, but you didnât suffer nearly as much as you thought you would due to your newfound distraction: Jimin.
 For weeks on end, your phone was a constant flurry of text messages back and forth about anything and everything. You talked periodically throughout the day whenever one of you had a break or a spare moment, and surprisingly, the conversation never turned dull. Thought you wished you could hear his voice more often than you did, Jimin did a good job of texting exactly as he would talkâpauses, hesitation, and all.
Your roommates noticed your distractions, of course, and you blamed it most of the time on a study group chat for psychologyâwhich technically wasnât a lie because you did have one of those. But you could tell they were getting fed up with that excuse because of the increasing amount of groans whenever your phone went off, so you started keeping it on silent to avoid that altogether.
Other than Jimin himself, Taehyung was the only one to know about your secret romance, so he quickly became your confidant and advice-giver all in one. It also helped that he was just as eager to hear about it as you were to tell him.
âSooooâŚ.â he said one day after class, giving you a pointed look and a quirky smile. âHow are things?â
You sighed. âTaehyung you asked me this on Tuesday. Everything is fine.â
 âBut fine doesnât mean anything, Y/N!â he whined, plopping into his desk chair.  The room was completely cleared out except for you twoâit was a common occurrence for you to stay after class and chat with Taehyung nowadaysâso your things were still splayed out on the table around you. âI need details! Details are importantâdonât you remember me writing that on your last assignment?â
You gave him a deadly look, but he continued grinning at you. âTaehyung.â
âYes, Y/N?â
âAre you asking me because you want to know? Or because Jimin does?â
He gave you his signature sly smile, his normally animated expression turning fox-like in nature in a matter of seconds. âOh, Y/N. What kind of wingman would I be if I told you that?â
You sighed rolling your eyes. âFine. Things areâŚslow.â
âSlow?â his eyebrows shot up on his forehead. âWhat do you mean? I thought that was what you wanted?â
âIt was, at first,â you admitted. âBut now it seems almost likeâŚweâre sort ofââ
ââfriends with no benefits?â Taehyung finished for you, a mocking smile playing around the edge of his lips.
You shrugged, âSure, but thatâs not exactly the word choice I would have used.â
âThatâs because you always beat around the bush,â Taehyung beamed, patting your hand. âBut thatâs okay, thatâs what Iâm here for, Y/N! Say no more.â
âWait, wait, what are you gonna do?â
âIâm gonna tell Jimin to step it up. You guys need some alone time, obviously. Whenâs the last time you hung out?â
You looked away sheepishly, suddenly finding extreme interest in your cuticles. You heard the smack of Taehyungâs mouth as it dropped open in shock.
âYouâre telling me that you guys havenât hung out since that night? Y/N, this is unacceptableââ
âIâve been busy with mid-terms!â you exclaimed. âAnd Jimin is a teacher, Taehyung. He has a schedule as well.â You paused. âDid I mention heâs a teacher? Where are we supposed to see each other?â
âYou guys are fucking amateurs,â Taehyung muttered sourly, his eyes diminishing into slits. âJimin has an apartment. Off-campus. By himself. Is this rocket science for you two? Jesus.â
 Taehyung slid back in his chair, standing up and grabbing his stuff. âFollow me.â
You scrambled to gather your things and shove them in your bookbag, flittering after Taehyung into the hallway and towards Jiminâs cracked door. âTaehyungââ you warned, but he was already knocking, poking his head around the frame.
âYou busy, Park? I just wanted to talk for a few minutes.â
âNah, Iâm free, whatâs up?â
You slowly walked into the classroom behind Taehyung, watching as Jiminâs face lit up once he saw you. âY/N,â he said, grinning. âTo what do I owe the pleasure of this surprise visit?â
He was as stylish as ever, sitting behind his desk in a loose-fitting striped sweater, his hair split effortlessly down the middle, strands falling aimlessly on the smooth expanse of his forehead. His plump lips pulled back over his teeth as he gave you a splitting grin, eyes crinkling in the corners and shining with all the light of the stars in the sky. Why did you go so long without seeing such a masterpiece of a face, of a smile? Or better yet, how?
âLetâs do dinner this week. Your place. Me, you, Y/N, and Jenny. Kind of like a double date,â he whispered the last part, making sure to flash you an encouraging smile. âWhat do you say?â
Jimin was already nodding eagerly, âSounds amazing. Tomorrow night, around 7?â
âYep, and Y/N can get there early to make sure you have some help so dinner will be on time. Right, Y/N?â Taehyung nudged you, raising an eyebrow. You nodded slowly, and you could have sworn you saw Jimin swallow harshly at the proposition. âGreat! See you guys then!â
Taehyung walked out of the classroom, throwing up a peace sign to the both of you as a goodbye, his work obviously done. Jimin chuckled, standing up from his seat. âAre you okay with dinner? I know Taehyung tends to make plans and just assumes everyone is okay with them with checking firstâŚâ
âDinner sounds great,â you grinned. You were just happy to finally have plans with Jimin after a long absence. Hearing him talk now was making you realize how much you missed his voice. âWhat should we cook? I can pick up some groceries before I head over.â
âDonât worry about that,â Jimin said quickly, shaking his head. âYou just bring yourself and a pair of hands that can use a knife.â
You nodded once. âGot it. So, Iâll see you around five thirty?â
Jimin looked like he wanted to come from behind the desk, but he stopped himself, choosing instead to keep his hands busy with picking a pen out of the holder by his hip, clicking it nonchalantly. âYeahâŚsee you then, Y/N.â
You were feeling the same way, itching to bring Jimin close, to smell all the delicious scents that wafted off his clothes, to diminish the distance between your lips that had been apart for far too long. But you also knew this was his classroom, and with the door open it was much too easy to see inside, so you hitched your book bag into a comfortable spot on your back, throwing Jimin one last small smile before leaving.
âIâm going out tonight with some people from my Psychology class for dinner. I donât know how long Iâll be out because itâll probably turn into a drinking thing, so donât wait up for me.â
You were sitting at the counter, a chocolate chip bagel pinched between your fingers as you told Sana and Jihyo about your plans for Friday. Sana raised an inquisitive eyebrow at you, pausing in spreading honey butter on her own bagel to point the end of the butter knife at you. âYouâre ditching us for psych nerds?â
You rolled your eyes. âTechnically, Iâm a psych nerd since itâs my major. Why do you always forget that? And we didnât have plans anyway!â
Jihyo sidled up to Sana, taking the knife out of her hand to butter her own bagel. âAre you mad at us or something? Youâve been kind of distant lately.â
âYeah, if itâs something we did you can tell us, Y/N,â Sana added.
You suddenly felt a wave of guilt wash over you. Youâd been lying to Sana and Jihyo for weeks about Jiminâand you werenât sure why. It wasnât like you couldnât trust them because they surely wouldnât tell anyone when it was about something as serious as Jiminâs job. But once you lied to them the first time, they just kept coming, bundling together and getting bigger and bigger like a snowball effect; there was no stopping a roll once it got going.
âItâs nothing, honestly. I just really want to make a good grade in this class, is all.â There it was, another lie rolling effortlessly off your tongue. You could give two shits about psychology at this point because you were positive youâd be switching majors at the end of the semester due to how well you were doing in Taehyungâs class. âYou guys know Iâm trying to pull my GPA up.â
Sana nodded, lowering her butter knife as she steered the conversation in another direction, and you let out a long breath of air through your nose in relief. No wonder you didnât lie muchâit was exhausting.
The rest of the day went by extremely slow for you, making you look countless times at the clock. You spent the afternoon with Sana and Jihyo in the living room watching a movie, waiting with a growing knot in your stomach for the right time to slip off to your room and get dressed for dinner. Thankfully, the movie ended at the perfect time, and while they were in the kitchen grabbing another snack you removed yourself, quickly taking off your comfortable clothes and throwing on jeans, a nice shirt and a thick jacket.
You exited the apartment after saying goodbye, pulling out your phone once you were outside to find the address Jimin had sent you earlier in the day. It was only a twelve-minute walk from your apartment so you decided to do that instead of driving, and set out in the direction the GPS was telling you.
Jimin lived in a relatively nice apartment for it to be so close to campusânormally the apartments looked nice on the outside but the residents would tell you the opposite of the insideâand you could tell this wasnât the case as you clicked a button on the sleek outside panel, waiting as it buzzed to Jiminâs apartment. None of the students around campus had an intercom system, nor did they have anything like the updated exterior that you took in as you waited for Jimin to answer.
âYes? Whoâs there?â he chirped, sounding somewhat giddy through the speaker.
âItâs me, can you let me in?â
It was quiet for a few seconds before his voice sounded through the speaker again. âHow do I know itâs really you? You might be a Y/N-impersonator.â
âJimin!â you groaned. âJust let me in.â
He laughed a delicate, tinkling laugh that made your mouth twitch with the threat of a smile. Jimin was in an unusually good mood, and it made you wonder what the cause of such a joking manner could be coming from.
âTell me something only Y/N would know.â
You rolled your eyes, wracking your brain quickly for a response. âUmâŚyour favorite pair of shoes are your black combat boots.â
âToo easy,â came his quick reply.
âOkay, fine,â you thought again, âThe first time we hung outâŚyou told me about civil twilight.â
âAnd?â he quipped.
âAndâŚyou said it was fucked up for you to like me, and thenâŚyou kissed me,â you said shyly, looking over your shoulder to make sure no one was witnessing the conversation that was unfolding between the two of you through an apartment intercom.
âCorrection,â Jimin said, and you could see him holding up a finger in a teacher-like manner. âI said I was waiting for you to tell me you like me like I liked you, and that that in itself was fucked up. But anyways, what about the kiss?â
âWhat about it?â you said immediately, and you knew youâd spoken too soon when Jimin clicked his tongue condescendingly.
âY/N, Y/N, Y/N. If you donât think these lips are the center of the universe, the sole reason for your existence, if they arenât flower petals gracing your lips when I kiss you, similar to that poem you wrote for classââ
âJimin, for Christâs sake, just let me in!â you insisted, raising your voice to cut him off. He laughed again childishly, obviously enjoying his little game way too much. Finally, there was a loud buzzing, and you were let into the apartment stairwell to begin climbing up to the third floor where Jiminâs apartment was. You let yourself in, the door already unlocked, peeling off your coat and kicking your shoes off at the entrance, treading on the soft carpet of the hallway into the tiled flooring of the kitchen. Jimin stood poised by his intercom, arms crossed over his chest and a sly smile playing around the edge of his lips.
You swung your purse strap over your head, slinging it onto a barstool before walking over to him. His eyes followed you, grazing over you from head to toe until you were standing in front of him, now half-lidded as he looked down his nose at you.
Just being in such close proximity, completely alone, for the first time since you two had met had your stomach doing backflips, your palms sweaty and itching to snatch Jiminâs face down to yours. You swallowed harshly, looking up into the dark chocolate orbs that were watching your every move, almost predator-like.
âHi,â you said breathlessly.
âHello, beautiful,â Jimin murmured, unfolding his arms to snake an arm around your waist and bring you closer. Electricity skittered across your skin underneath your shirt as his hand pressed to your lower back, sending a delicious tingle up your spine. You hummed a small noise of content at the warmth, burying your face in the crook of Jiminâs neck for a few moments and breathing in deeply. You stayed like that until you remembered your recent conversation over the intercom.
âWhat was all that talk about kissing just a few moments ago?â you teased, pulling back to look at him. You licked your lips suggestively, watching Jiminâs eyes dart down to your mouth. âI think you said you owed me a fewâŚor something like that?â
âOwing you a few?â Jimin shrugged, his gaze drifting back upwards to your eyes. âI donât remember that part.â
You narrowed your eyes. âDonât play with me, boy.â
Jimin grinned down at you but his eyes darkened, making you cautious of his next move as he dipped his head down, trailing his way up your jawline with his nose, each breath he took sending a cool wave of air over your neck and collarbones. In seconds he had you completely under his spell, your weak hands coming to rest on his chest as his other arm wrapped around your waist, pulling you completely against his body.
âI invited you into my humble abode,â he began, his breath ghosting over the hollow beneath your ear, âAnd the first thing you bring up is a supposed debt?â He tsked, tucking your hair so that he could speak directly into your ear. âDo you really think thatâs how this works, Y/N?â
âTechnically, Taehyung invited me over,â you responded cheekily. You gasped embarrassingly loud at the sharp feeling of Jiminâs canines grazing over the juncture between your neck and shoulder in warning. He chuckled at your response, obviously enjoying every second of his torment.
âAh, yes. Speaking of Taehyungââ his hands moved up from your lower back until they were at your middle, Jiminâs thumbs hooking into the space right below your ribcage, his fingers splayed out on your sides. âHe said something to me before you got hereâŚâ
âAnd what would that be?â
He rubbed his nose against yours, his eyes closing briefly before opening to look down at you with a mischievous glint. You could have sworn you saw his pupils dilate as your eyes met. âSomething aboutâoh, I donât knowâthings beingâŚslow? Between us?â
âOh,â you reddened, unsure of what to say.
âOh?â Jimin repeated, taking a hand off your waist to tilt your chin up so that he could fully gauge your reaction. âIf I remember correctly, thatâs what you wanted. Isnât that right?â
âAt firstâŚand then we didnât see each other for a long time and, well, I donât knowâŚâ
âHmmm,â Jimin mused. âI see.â
âTaehyung is so unfair,â you murmured, pouting. âHeâs always telling on me.â
âHeâs my best friend and wingman first, your confidant second. Remember that,â Jimin laughed quietly before turning serious again. âSo, how would you like your repayment?â
âRepayment?â you repeated curiously, though your stomach flip-flopped anyways at the word.
âFor making you wait so long that you changed your mind about wanting things to be slow,â Jimin said, his gaze flickering down to your mouth again. âAll at once or spread out?â
âBoth,â you replied quickly.
Jimin grinned, âGreedy!â You licked your lips anxiously as one of his hands kept its place on your side, burning warmth through your shirt straight to your stomach, while the other snaked into your hair. âBut I like it.â
Just like the first time, your brain fogged over as Jiminâs lips found yours, like flipping a switch on your hormones that allowed them to do all your thinking. These kisses were hard and needy, the opposite of what you were used to with Jimin. His mouth moved fluidly against yours, plump lips completely dominating the conversation your mouths were having while his hand curled in your hair, fingertips lightly grazing against your scalp. You whimpered a little at the feeling and in return Jimin growled deep in his throat, using the opportunity of your slightly parted mouth to delve his tongue in, poking tentatively at yours until you responded.
 Your hands balled into fists on his shirt, yanking him closer to you in any way you could, not wanting to separate your mouths for even a moment. Jiminâs mouth was somewhat bitter--probably from his tendency to drink coffee at all times of the day--but the taste to you was heavenly as his tongue laved over your own, fingers drawing patterns into your sides and back.
 While Jimin distracted you with his mouth, he was slowly backing you out of the kitchen and towards the L-shaped couch that was positioned in front of the TV in his living room. Your knees hit the side and Jimin released his hold on you, pushing you slightly so that you fell onto your back on the cushions. A wave of Jiminâs cologne hit your nostrils, wafting up from the couch, and then an even bigger wave hit you as he climbed on top of you, pressing his body into yours once more before you could react to being dropped onto the soft surface. You could feel his hardened member pressing into your hip bone as he laid down, his mouth darting for your neck, peppering kisses there. Your eyes closed immediately, and your head tipped back in bliss, hands coming to rest in Jiminâs raven hair as he switched between nipping at your neck and sucking lightly on the areas.
 âOh, god,â you groaned as he roamed his mouth over a particular spot that sent another harsh shiver down your spine, the hotness of your skin mixing with the incredible warmth of his mouth. âJiminââ
You twitched underneath him involuntarily as he sucked harder based off of your reaction, accidently grinding your hips against the hardness protruding from Jiminâs jeans and coaxing a small moan out of him. The noise licked fire along your insides, sparking a warmth inside your stomach that made you never want Jimin to stop as he sucked and pecked his way towards your collarbones. But your brain got the better of you, a thought crossing your mind that had you ruining the moment.
âWait,â you said breathlessly, closing your eyes as Jimin nudged his way across your chest with kisses. âWhat about cooking dinner?â
âTaehyungâs coming over,â he nipped at your shoulder playfully, making you jump at the tingle that skittered across your skin. âHeâs bringing takeout from the Italian place down the street.â
You straightened up a little, bumping your collarbone into Jiminâs teeth and making him cringe. He pouted at you while you talked. âSo...why did I come over so early?â
 Jimin shrugged, his pout shifting into a shit-eating grin. âI told you, Taehyungâs my wingman. He may seem like a mindless puppy, but heâs actually a pretty smart guy.â
 âHm,â you murmured, nodding your head slowly. âWow, he really isâŚâ
 Jimin groaned suddenly, grabbing your face with both hands to squish your cheeks together, pouting your lips manually so that he could press small kisses to them over and over. âIâcanâtâstopâdoingâthisââ
 âCanât or wonât?â you murmured, giggling as he continued to assault your face with his lips. The steamy moment from before quickly shifted to less intimate conversation and then right back as he pressed his body against yours again so that you were laying down on the couch, his arms barricading you from moving as he leaned his face close.
 âWhat are you doing to me, huh?â
âI donât know. But I kinda like it...maybe I should do more of it. Whatever it is.â
 âMmm,â Jimin mused, a grin dusting his features as he leaned in to press a kiss to the corner of your mouth. âYouâre dangerous.â
 âDangerous?â you asked. âHow so?â
 âI justââ he murmured, pausing to sink his teeth into the soft flesh of his lower lip. His eyes darkened just slightly as he rolled his hips into yours in a small, controlled movement. He didnât even have to say anythingâthe flames licking at your belly and traveling down to your wet center told you everything he couldnât manageâyou felt it too.
You licked your lips, swallowing to coat your suddenly-dry throat as you fought to speak, Jiminâs half-lidded eyes boring into yours. âOh...well, maybe, I could help you, with thatââ
 You were cut off by a loud buzzing sounding throughout the apartment, making Jimin frown and sigh above you. âInterrupted right at the good part, huh? Taehyungâs not as much of a wing-man as he thought he was.â He pushed himself off of you, offering you a hand and pulling you off the couch before he walked over to the intercom. You watched him subtly adjust the tent protruding from the front of his pants as he talked and it made you giggle. âYeah?â
Taehyungâs voice came through the speaker loud and clear: âOpen up, ugly.â
 âYeah, yeah,â Jimin rolled his eyes, pushing the button to unlock the door downstairs. You were distributing plates at the circular table in Jiminâs kitchen when Taehyung walked in, a giant brown bag settled into his hands and a petite girl following behind him.
 âThey took forever, dude. How long does it take to make fucking spaghetti? Itâs noodles, sauce and cheese, not rocket science,â he complained, looking over at you. âSup, Y/N.â
 You grinned a hello as he stepped aside, motioning to the girl that was putting bottles of wine into Jiminâs freezer. âThis is Jenny. Jenny, Y/N.â
 âHey,â she said, waving as she shut the door to the fridge. She looked at you through rounded spectacles, her bangs just brushing the top of them. She looked like the book-ish type, and you wondered if Taehyung met her while he was in college. âIâve heard a lot about you.â
You frowned. âGood things, I hope?â
âOh of course,â she nodded enthusiastically, a smile playing around the edges of her mouth. âYouâre the student Jimin seduced, right?â
âHey, I did not seduce her!â Jimin protested, holding up a hand. âY/N seduced me, Iâm the victim here!â
âYeah right,â you muttered, cutting your eyes at him as your face heated in embarrassment. âVictim, my ass.â
 âHey, it doesnât matter who seduced who to me,â Taehyung said, settling into his chair at the table. He tucked his napkin into the collar of his shirt dramatically. âWhat does matter, however, is how much pasta I can eat until I pass out on Jiminâs sofa with a food babyâand I intend to find out tonight. Letâs eat!â
âI really donât feel like it should be considered a great piece of fiction from our time,â Taehyung argued, sticking a breadstick in his mouth and biting the end off, crumbs flying everywhere as he spoke. âShe wrote fucking Harry Potter fanfiction before writing Fifty Shades.â
âSo? She had to get a start somewhere, Tae,â Jimin countered. âWho cares what or where that was. Try telling her sheâs not a real fiction writer and sheâll slap you in the face with her millions and her movie deals.â
You and Jenny glanced at each other over the table, exchanging bored looks. Taehyung and Jimin had been debating modern fiction for the past twenty minutes. Every time either of you tried to steer the conversation in a different direction they somehow circled it back around to whether erotic novels could be considered âgoodâ fiction.
âThatâs because it became a craze!â Taehyung turned the bitten end of his breadstick to Jimin, jabbing the air with it emphasize his point. âSmut doesnât equal quality writing. Show me a plot, some dialogue, some character development, a story arc. Then Iâll be impressed and maybe consider it a piece of fiction, at the least.â
âMay I add a comment to this discussion, as a budding creative writing major?â you asked, raising your eyebrows hopefully.
âNo.â
âAbsolutely not.â
You slumped back in your chair, crossing your arms over your chest in defeat. Jenny chose that time to slide back in hers, excusing herself from the table. âAlright, Iâm going to go crack open a wine bottle now since you two dweebs donât want to talk to us. Y/N, you coming?â
âYes!â you quickly got up, following Jenny back into the kitchen as Jimin and Taehyungâs argument died out in the background. She grabbed two glasses, sitting one down in front of you and filling it with the cool, golden liquid from the wine bottle.
 âRiesling is the best, isnât?â she hummed, taking an appreciative sip from her own glass. âSorry about those two, by the way. They do this all the time.â
 âReally?â you asked, wide-eyed. âWow, that would drive me fucking insane.â
 She shrugged, shooting you a teasing smile. âYou better get used to it. You know, being Jiminâs girl and all.â
 You smiled shyly, your gaze drifting down the countertop. Jiminâs girl. It had a nice ring to it. But a part of you still felt weird knowing that you were a college student, still taking intro classes in your major,  hanging out with a bunch of graduate students who had full time jobs.
 âAbout thatâŚâ you started, and Jenny raised her eyebrows as you took a nervous sip from your glass. âSo, since Jimin is a TA...us being togetherâŚits--â
 â--itâs difficult, yes,â Jenny nodded. âAnd certainly not recommended.â Your heart dropped at the reality of her words, a sinking feeling settling into your chest. âBut...Jimin is taking extra precautions with your relationship so that everything goes smoothly. Donât worry, okay? As soon as youâre out of the intro class, youâre allowed to do whatever--well, kind of. Just keep a low profile for a while and everything will be fine.â
 You gave her a grateful smile as she tipped back the rest of her glass. âWhat do your friends think?â
 You cleared your throat awkwardly, speaking in a small voice, âI...havenât told them.â
 âWhy not?â she cocked an perfectly sculpted eyebrow above her round spectacles. âYou donât trust them?â
 âNo, itâs not that,â you shook your head. You trusted Sana and Jihyo with everything, and had for a long time. âItâs more like since Iâve kept it from them this long...why tell them now?â
 Jenny hummed in thought, pouring more wine into both of your glasses before settling onto a bar stool with hers in hand, swirling the golden contents around absentmindedly. âWell, I guess I see your point. But itâs also nice to have someone to talk to about stuff...girls need to vent, right? If you ever need someone to talk to until you decided to tell them, you can definitely come to me.â
 Taehyung and Jimin filed into the kitchen then, Taehyung quickly plucking Jennyâs glass out of her hand and taking a sip. âCome to you about what?â
 âNothing,â she frowned, reaching for it only for Taehyung to stretch his hand out further away from himself. âGive that back.â
 âWhy canât I have some?â Taehyung pouted cutely. âYou bought three bottles!â
âTwo for me and one for Y/N!â she giggled, slapping him on the chest. âWhoâs gonna drive us home if you drink?â
âLetâs just stay here. Jimin has a spare bedroom--â
 Before Taehyung could finish the sentence, Jimin was already shaking his head in disagreement. âThatâs my office.â
 âIt has a futon in it.â
 âYeah, in case I get tired from grading papers!â
 Jimin was giving Taehyung a look that you couldnât quite decipher, his stare strong enough to bore holes into the oblivious boyâs head. But Taehyung was too focused on the conversation at hand, completely ignoring the message Jimin was trying to sign to him from across the room.
 âWhat about Y/N?â Taehyung argued, pointing in your direction. âSheâs drinking, are you gonna kick her out, too?â
 âI can walk home,â you held up your hands in defense. âItâs no big deal, reallyââ
 âNo,â Jimin said quickly, giving you a pointed look. âYou can stay here. I donât have a problem with you, I just donât want Taehyung here.â Jimin finished the statement by crossing his arms over his chest in annoyance.
 You watched as Taehyung narrowed his eyes and tipped back the rest of Jennyâs glass as she yelled out at him, quickly downing it before placing it back on the counter and burping loudly. âToo late, dick. Iâm drinking and Iâm staying.â
 âIdiot,â Jimin muttered, but moved from his place to grab some blankets out of the hall closet, heading towards his office to dress up the futon.
The rest of the night passed somewhat quickly. The four of you managed to finish the three single bottles along with half of one Taehyung found stashed in the back of Jiminâs refrigerator. You realized the more that Taehyung drank, the quieter and more broody he became, complaining about the horrible plot lines in the movies and how they could have spiced up the relationship of the two main characters more.
âHow could they not kiss the whole movie but be in love?â Taehyung muttered, pausing to hiccup. âWhat if I did that to Jenny, and then she kissed me and I was fucking horrible with my mouth. That would change her whole perspective on me!â
âYou are horrible with your mouth, Taehyung,â Jenny snapped, smacking him on the leg. âNow shut up and stop interrupting, thereâs only a few minutes left!â
Taehyung turned his attention back to the screen, pouting slightly. He was only quiet for a few moments before he was spouting off another complaint, unable to keep his watery words behind the dam that was his closed lips, âAnd why are their houses always so nice? Thereâs no way she can afford that nice ass apartment on her desk job salary.â
âTaehyung,â Jimin groaned, throwing his head back on the couch cushion. He stood up, turning the lights on in the living room and pressing stop on the DVD player just as the last scene ended. âAlright, Iâm going to bed, and so are you,â he pointed at his friend who was looking at him through half-lidded eyes, âBefore I kill you.â
 Jimin helped you off the couch, keeping your hand interlocked with his as he made his way to the back bedroom, locking his door to make a show out of keeping Taehyung away. âThat should do the trick,â he giggled drunkenly, falling back on his bed.
You stood awkwardly by the door, eyes zoning in on the way that Jiminâs shirt lifted a little as he fell, giving you a glimpse of the soft skin of his stomach as he laid on his back. The reality of the situation was closing in on you--you drank, and now you were going to have to stay at Jiminâs until tomorrow morning unless you wanted to pay for an Uber back to campus--and for some reason you couldnât shake the nervous feeling in your stomach. Obviously you would sleep with him, in his room, in his bed. Why didnât you think of that before?
 Jimin lifted his head, peeking at you through one open eye. âYou okay?â When you didnât answer right away, he hopped up, holding up a finger. âRight, pajamas! Hold on a sec.â
He began rummaging through his bureau drawers until he conjured up a big white t-shirt, one that you were sure youâd seen him sport in class before. âDo you need pants?â he asked curiously, eyeing your legs. You flushed, shaking your head quickly and taking the shirt from him.
You walked into the bathroom joined to his bedroom, quickly ridding yourself of your shirt, bra and jeans. You pulled Jiminâs white tee over your head, taking a deep breath as the fabric caught on your nose before settling over your neck. It smelled just like him, clean and sweet and mostly certainly intoxicating.
Your heart beat a mile a minute in your chest as you walked out, noticing Jimin already changed and in bed, scrolling on his phone. He was shirtless, only sporting a pair of plain, grey sweatpants, the band of his briefs visible above the cotton material of his sleeping attire. The sight had you swallowing nervously as you drank in his appearance, moving from his already messy hair, to the toned muscles of his chest, to the pants that clung a little to his thighs. How was he not shy at all around you? You were a sweating, nervous mess and Jimin was acting as though he got shirtless in front of people all the time. But, maybe there were some things you didnât know about him. The thought made you a little sick to the stomach, so you pushed it away just as quickly as it had come. Who were you to judge him when you only had on your underwear underneath his shirt?
 You crawled into bed beside Jimin, shoving your legs under the blanket and settling back against the fluffy pillows that rested against his headboard. He put his phone on the charger, clicked the chain to the bedside lamp and shrouded the room in darkness. The only light was from the moon outside, casting the room in a barely-lit teal glow.
âIâm sorry about Taehyung,â he murmured, turning on his side immediately so he could trace your outline in the shadows with his gaze. âSometimes he thinks heâs helping when in reality heâs being the biggest cock block known to man.â
âCock block?â you asked, a giggle lacing your words. Jimin just grinned and reached out to you, pulling you close. Your noses were almost touching now, each breath in and out a wave of air over your faces and a reminder of how little effort it would take to close the distance between your lips. âHeâs doing that to you?â
 âYeah,â he said, his voice low as his hands crept their way under the comforter and towards your sides, goose-flesh erupting in their wake as they slid along your lower back. âSomethinâ like that.â
You grinned again, enjoying the new warmth of Jiminâs body pressing against yours. âTonight was fun though,â you offered, trying to make him feel better. âIâm glad we got to see each other outside of school for once.â
 âMhm, me too.â
 âBut do you and Taehyung always argue so much?â you giggled, and watched as Jiminâs face lit up in the darkness. âI thought you two had an unbreakable bond.â
âWe do,â Jimin said, âItâs just thatâŚI donât know, heâs a little much. I canât explain it. Even your best friends get on your nerves sometimes, you know?â
 âYeah, I understand. My roommates are like that too, especially when theyâre drinking. Although itâs some of my best memories with them, itâs also some of the worst.â
Jimin laughed quietly in agreement. Your mind drifted to the conversation youâd had earlier with Jenny at the mention of Sana and Jihyo. They were probably wondering where you were, and you were surprised that your cellphone on the nightstand wasnât being blown up that very moment. They would understand about Jimin, why couldnât you just tell them? Why were you so afraid?
Jimin, noticing you lost in thought, grabbed your hand that was resting under the blanket and pulled it up to his mouth, pressing a soft kiss to your palm. âWhatâs wrong?â
 You sighed. âItâsânothing.â
 âYou can tell me,â Jimin coaxed, pressing his lips to your knuckles this time. âIs it me? I can take you home if youâre uncomfortable.â
 âNo!â you said quickly, and relished in the way Jiminâs once furrowed brow softened at your words. âItâs not that, itâs justâokay, this is gonna sound stupid but I havenât told my roommates about us. And theyâre my best friends and I tell them everything butâŚItâs justâthis is just different. I donât know. Iâm scared.â
 Jimin was quiet for a few moments and he closed his eyes in thought. You almost assumed heâd drifted off to sleep when he murmured lowly, âIâm sorry, Y/N.â
âSorry?â You sat up in bed. The streetlamp outside of Jiminâs apartment clicked on, flooding his bedroom with warm orange light through his blinds, streaming in rays across his floor and bedspread. âJimin, what are you sorry for?â
âFor putting you in this situation,â he replied defeatedly, putting and arm over his face so you couldnât look at his eyes anymore. âIâm overstepping my boundaries because Iâm selfish, and I keep dragging you with me. Iâm sorry.â
âJiminâŚâ you said, but he continued to lay there with his face covered. When you attempted to move his arm, he flexed, keeping it in place even as you wrapped your fingers around his forearm, tugging harder. âJimin, itâs not like that. Thatâs not what I meantâŚhey, look at me. Donât be mad.â
âIâm not mad at you, Y/N, Iâm mad at myself!â
Jimin attempted to roll over then and you moved quickly, swinging a leg over his torso to keep him from turning his back on you. He wriggled around, throwing you off balance and you struggled to push on his shoulders, forcing him down flat onto the mattress. âComeâŚhere!â
He finally gave in and you squeezed your legs around his middle, pointing a finger at with a firm tone. âStay. Still.â
âYes maâam,â he murmured sourly, but you could see the grin playing around the edges of his mouth. He was thoroughly enjoying your rough-housing, and you were just happy he wasnât really upset.
You placed your hands on Jiminâs stomach, keeping yourself centered on his lap as you spoke. He lay on his back with his hands behind his head, looking up at you with curious eyes and his lips slightly parted. You tried not to focus on the plump flesh as you gathered your thoughts, choosing instead to look at the darkness of his irises boring into yours.
âWhen are you gonna stop beating yourself up for this, huh? Youâre not in this alone. Okay? Iâm in it with you,â you leaned down a little closer, starting to feel shy with the way the conversation was going, but you kept talking, âIâm not going anywhere, and thereâs no need to feel guilty or sorry. I like you, Jimin.â
 The last part was said just barely above a whisper, but you hoped that your small voice didnât stop you from conveying the emotions that were flowing from you suddenly. You didnât want Jimin to feel bad, you didnât want him to feel like he was burdening you or bringing you into a situation that you didnât want to be in. You really liked him, and you didnât know how else to show himâbesides leaning down and connecting your lips with his in a soft kiss.
Jimin closed his eyes at the contact, leaving his hands behind his head at first and just letting you move your mouth against his softly. The kiss was warm and sweet and gentle and no tongue, and you let yourself get lost for a few moments just to feel the excited thrill you always got when you kissed him.
 Jimin moved his hands from behind his head as you shifted on his lap, placing your hands beside his head as his moved to your waist. He squeezed the flesh there lightly, sliding the t-shirt out of the way to rest his hot palms on your bare skin. You sighed at the contact and pulled back for a second to look at his expressionâall blown-out pupils and swollen lips that were tilted slightly upâand realized you were mimicking him.
 âI like you too,â he said in a quiet voice, smiling as he moved his hands to your upper back to pull your mouth back to him.
Somewhere along the lines you mumbled Good against his lips, but you were too lost in the kneading of his hands and the sudden hardness between your legs to really focus. Jiminâs kisses were a little more feverish, the temperature between your bodies rising as your shirt slipped more and you found yourself pressed against his bare chest. The toned muscles rippled as he moved hand up your stomach and over your ribcage to cup your breast, squeezing it in his palm. You groaned a little as his thumb flicked over the hard bud, the soft pad of his finger teasing you and making your body heighten with desire.
You removed your mouth from Jiminâs, trailing a wet, hot trail down his jaw-line to the space beneath his ear, giving the spot a small lick to test the waters. Jimin grunted and his hips bucked beneath yours. You grinned, grazing your teeth over the spot. âOh? What was that?â you teased.
âY/Nââ he fell short of words as you sucked on the spot a little. His hand tightened around your breast while his other squeezed your hip, his hardened member now straining against the material of his sweatpants and digging into your thigh.
You placed wet, open-mouthed kisses against the skin of his neck, enjoying all the breathy noises that he was releasing until heâd had enough. Jimin took one hand and gripped your jaw, bringing your lips back to his as he roughly stuck his tongue into your mouth, tasting every bit of the leftover wine that may have been there. With his other hand, he pushed your shoulder until you were slipping off of him and onto your back in your original spot on the bed, crawling over you and trapping you in his embrace.
His hands skimmed your inner thigh, lips latching onto the skin of your neck as he sucked shades of pink and red into the flesh. You tilted your head back in bliss, giving Jimin access to everything you had as the heat between your legs swelled. He ran a finger over your cotton underwear right along your slit and you gasped soft, a shudder racking your body as he touched you through the material.
You werenât inexperienced. Youâd had a few rendezvous in college at frat parties and had taken someone back to your apartment once or twice after a long night of drinking at the KGB.
But this was different, Jimin was different.
As his fingers traced over your most sensitive area you were suddenly shy, an inexperienced and nervous woman underneath him, and you found yourself biting your lip in uncertainty as your mind raced.
âY/N,â Jimin said, reading your body and bringing his gaze eyelevel with yours. His eyebrows were furrowed as he took in your expression and he took his hand away from you. âWe donâtâIâm sorry, we donât have to, I just thoughtââ
âNo, no, Iâm sorry,â you pulled his face to yours with both hands, cupping his cheeks as you pecked his lips a few times, âI just spaced out for a moment. Iâm here now.â
Jimin grinned at you, pressing his lips to yours as he tried to get both of you back in the mood. You ran your fingers through the soft strands of his hair, pushing it away from his forehead as his mouth moved against yours, once more trapping you under his unbreakable spell.
His fingers fiddled with your underwear again and you sighed a little at him finally pushing the material to the side. He slid a finger up your slit, gathering the wetness there before he slipped it inside you and you both closed your eyesâJimin from relishing in how wet you were for him, you at the relief of finally having him touching you.
You bucked into his hand and he pulled out a little before sliding back in, causing you to groan and yank at his hair. âUgh, Jimin, fasterââ
He quickly set a pace, pulling out only to dive back up to his knuckle. It was only one finger, but damn did it felt like heaven to you. You closed your eyes, tilting your head back as Jimin pulled the shirt you were wearing above your breasts so he could latch on with his hot mouth. He rolled your nipple around with his tongue as his finger worked you to an incredibly fast orgasm, unable to stop the breathy noises spilling from your mouth.
âJimin, ah, ah, right there, pleaseââ
Groaning against your breast, he added another finger into your soaking heat, watching as your back arched off the bed in pleasure.
âGod youâre so hot,â he murmured, trailing his mouth away from your nipple as he placed kisses down the center of your chest. You wanted him closer, to move his hand faster, to bring his lips back up to yours, to keep going further down until they latched onto your trembling coreâso many things at once, but one thing that stayed at the center of your attention was how much you were clenching around his fingers, getting closer and closer to sweet relief.
Your head was somewhere else and so was Jiminâs obviously, because neither of you realized how un-quiet you were being as you enjoyed the moment together. Jimin was ravishing your chest with his mouth, kissing and sucking anywhere he could as you writhed underneath him, egging you on with his groans to get louder and louder. Just as you squeezed your eyes shut, your walls pulsing around Jiminâs fingers as he drove you to your high, a loud banging came through the wall behind you that Jiminâs headboard was pressed up against.
Your movements had caused it to thud against the wall a few times, waking up Taehyung in the other room. You jumped as his fist collided with the wall with ferocity, and Jiminâs fingers stilled inside of you.
âFucking keep it down, would you? Jesus Christ!â
Jimin grinned devilishly down at you, shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly at getting caught. âOops,â he whispered.
You brought your hands up to your eyes, covering them for the sake of not completely losing your shit at the thought of Taehyung knowing exactly what was going on between you two. Jimin moved away, placing your panties back in their proper position and cleaning his fingers off on his t-shirt that was thrown haphazardly on the floor. He rejoined you in bed a few seconds later, removing the hands shielding your tightly squeezed eyes and burning cheeks. He rested his head on your chest, looking up at you with all of his boyish charm, lips swollen from kissing, hair mussed from your fingers running through it so many times.
âWell,â he said, sighing, humor lacing his words, âOnce a cock-block, always a cock block, I guess?â
