It was a cold night and the wind made it colder. All they were wearing were very thin layered of clothes since obviously, they didn't expect to come out and stand on the terrace in the middle of a cold night.

The only thing that was warm was their hearts and the kiss they were having.

Working with proper rhythm, they kissed as if it was their first and the last time.

Hyejin held Jin's shirt and Jin caressed Hyejin's cheek while they had their moment of one possible thing, which was love.

Flashback

"Pl-Please don't! It feels disgusting!" Hyejin shouted but she was helpless since her hands were tied to the pole.

"Aww babe, you don't like my kisses? Well guess what, you are going to get some more in various places." He winked at her.

End of Flashback

Jin felt a warm and wet sensation on his cheek which was pressed against Hyejin's soft skin.

When he broke the kiss, he saw that Hyejin's eyes were closed and her tears were still streaming down to her cheeks. This broke his heart.

Hyejin kept her eyes close in the hope of her tears to stop, but they didn't.

"Hyejin," Jin looked at her with awe. "Please, tell me about it so that we can make it right." He pleaded.

Hyejin shook her head.

"For now, please just make me feel safe." Hyejin buried her face into Jin's chest. "I am afraid, Jin. I am tired of pretending to be strong." Hyejin mumbled slowly.

Jin couldn't help but become emotional. He had never seen her in such a state and looking at her like this, he just wanted to shove all of her worries into the Mariana Trench.

"Shh..." Jin patted her head. "It's okay to be scared, Hyejin." He hugged her tightly.

They stayed like this for a while.

"I am tired." Hyejin mumbled into him chest and Jin understood.

Jin carried her effortlessly in bridal style and went back to his room.

Jin finally felt like a man in The Viper's Headquarters. Since he had come here, it was either Hyejin beating him up or Joseph. Now, it was Hyejin who was lying down in his arms while Jin carried her as if she was his new bride. This was a great moment.

Whereas Hyejin,

She was finally depending on someone.

**********
Jin laid Hyejin down on the matteress and got up but Hyejin held the hem of his shirt.

"Stay here." Hyejin said and Jin smiled.

"Who said I was going? You don't want me to close the door?" Jin stated and Hyejin let go of Jin's shirt in embarrassment.

Jin quickly closed the door, basically locked it so that nobody would be able to see her like this.

Jin stuffed himself again inside the blanket and looked at Hyejin whose eyes were close.

"Hyejin." Jin called her out in an assuring tone.

When Hyejin opened her eyes, Jin saw that her eyes were entirely red and teary.

"Hmm?" Hyejin hmmed while looking anywhere at anything but Jin.

"Are you sad?" He asked her.

Hyejin shook her head.

"I am not sad, I am filled with regret, that's all." Hyejin smiled and it broke Jin's heart again.

"What do you regret, Hyejin?" Jin asked her.

"I regret meeting Kyungsoo." Hyejin answered honestly.

"Kyungsoo?" He asked her, cluelessly.

"The midget." Hyejin said and chuckled.

"I regret falling in love with him and I regret calling him to my house on that sinful day." Hyejin answered Jin.

"Why?" Jin asked her. "Why do you regret it, Hyejin?" He asked Hyejin.

Hyejin shook her head.

"Let's talk about it later, I am feeling very sleepy right now." Hyejin said while totally dogding the topic.

"Okay." Jin answered her back while caressing her cheek.

Hyejin, feeling embarrassed, did what her heart told her to do even though her mind opposed. She went a little closer to him and hugged her.

She could feel Jin's heart beat which was fast, very fast. She was finally feeling safe. She finally thought that she could sleep properly, without worrying about anybody breaking into her room and taking her womanhood. She was finally feeling soft.

She dozed into sleep very quickly.

Jin noticed her and smiled at her. He kissed her on her forehead.

*After One Hour*

It had been an hour now. Hyejin kept changing her position in her sleep whereas Jin,

He couldn't sleep.

Who is Kyungsoo and what is with Hyejin and Kyungsoo?

He couldn't stop thinking about the possibilities of this Kyungsoo guy hurting Hyejin. He couldn't even imagine Hyejin going through such problems.

"Hyejin," Jin whispered. "If you are awake, just remember this. I will never let you suffer from any kind of grief. Okay?" Jin played with her hair.

Her hair smelled like lavender, which made his heart go crazy. Her scent was just like a drug, he couldn't get enough of it.

He kept sniffing her hair until his eyes felt heavy and finally, after so many attempts, he fell into dreamland where he coincidentally dreamt about Hyejin.

**********
Hyejin's P.O.V.

I woke up feeling cozy in somebody's arms. I liked the feeling so I didn't open my eyes.

Who is it that smells so good?

I smiled.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Jin whose eyes were focused on me. My face suddenly heated up.

Suddenly, the memories of last night played like a projector in my mind.

We kissed, I cried in front of him, WE LEGIT CUDDLED TOGETHER!

"Good morning, Hyejin." He smiled at me.

"Huh?" My flustered mind realised that he was still staring at me. "Yeah..um..good morning." I replied while averting my eyes.

"You look cute when you blush." He chuckled and I gave him a death glare.

"I literally haven't even washed my face yet, and you find me cute?" I scoffed.

"Yes, I do find you cute." He said and I turned my back towards him from embarrassment.

I heard him chuckle.

"You are still the same, Hyejin." He hugged me from behind. "I love it." He smiled.

He was basically spooning me now. It was really comfortable.

"You are so small, I love it." Jin sniffed my hair.

"Why are you sniffing my hair, creep?" I hissed at him.

"Because your hair smells like lavender, cutie." He replied. C-Cutie? He called me cutie?

"Why are you being so sweet today?" I asked him.

"I am always sweet as sugar to you. You are the cold as ice one." Jin whined. "Besides, do you not remember the last night? Our k-i-s-s?" He said and my face blushed up.

"Urm...no?" I stiffened myself up.

"Oh, really?" He wiggled his eyebrows. "Remember when you kissed me while I was pretending to sleep and the—" I cut him off while speaking.

"You were pretending to sleep?! Why?!" I shot a death glare at him.

"Well, I had thought that Joseph had come back and I didn't want anymore fights so that is why I pretended to sleep. Now how would I know that you would kiss me out of no where?" Jin said innocently.

I sighed. Damn Joseph, the reason to my stress.

"It didn't mean anything, okay?" I said while averting my eyes.

"Oh really?" Jin smirked. "Then what about the terrace one huh? You looked pretty experienced with these kind of stuff." He said and I froze.

You are the only one I have kissed willingly, idiot.

A soft chuckle left my mouth.

"Sure, call me experienced or whatever you want to call." I scoffed.

"Are you?" He asked me. I knew what he was thinking at that very moment.

"Let's just say that you were my first willing kiss." I turned back to towards him to face him only to encounter his flustered expression.

"What is that supposed to mean?" He asked me as he got up and sat straight.

I gave him a small smile.

"It's exactly what you think it is, Jin." I gave him a small smile.

Jin's P.O.V.

What does she mean by that? Willing kiss?

"Hyejin, please elaborate." I said.

This was serious. This wasn't one of my dad jokes, but it was serious. It was about Hyejin.

"Jin...I don't kno—" I cut her off while speaking.

"Hyejin, please. Trust me." I said with a sad expression. I wanted her to know that she could trust me.

She looked at me with an expression maybe she has never given to anyone before, then she slowly exhaled.

"Okay, I'll make that mistake again and trust you." She gave me a sad smile.
