You let out a soft sigh of content as you feel Seokjin's lips pressed against yours. Your lips mesh with his as he softly moves his plump lips against yours in a sweet kiss. His hand reaches up to start cupping your face nervously. Your head leans into his touch, showing your consent for it as you continue kissing the man.

The soft smacking of your lips is the only thing that can be heard in the kitchen. You're smiling widely against his lips as you kiss him and he gently pulls away to stare at your face, eyes shifting between your eyes and lips a few times.

"Whoa..." he mumbles before licking his lips as he shyly smiles at you.

You bite onto your lower lip before returning the smile as you then nod your head slowly.

"Yeah, whoa." You respond. Seokjin lets out a soft laugh before looking down at the dining room table momentarily. Once he looks back up at you, you notice his dark brown eyes sparkling a little as he stares over at you. As you stare back, he gulps and you can sense his shyness coming back as he avoids eye contact, ears turning red once more.

"So, um..." he states before pointing down at the sample tubes to get your eyes off of him. "Did you taste the flavor?"

"Huh?" you ask before your eyes look to where he's pointing. "Oh... um... I tasted a little bit of strawberry but it wasn't as strong as I'd like it to be." You state, causing Seokjin to nod his head softly.

"Should I... reapply it so we can test how long it stays on?" Seokjin asks. You immediately shake your head as you reach down for your pen and start writing notes on the flavor.

"No, you can try a new one if you like. Since the flavor on this one wasn't good enough anyways, it's not worth testing how long it lasts."

"Okay..." he glances down at his lap for a moment before looking back up at you. "How should I take this off? Is there like a remover you have for me to start fresh for the next sample?" You smile over at him as he shyly continues to ask questions.

To make him blush again or to not make him blush again?

Yeah, you're going to make him blush.

"Yeah, you can use that makeup wipe over there." You point towards the kitchen island as he slowly begins to push his chair back, ready to walk over to the counter. "Or... there's another way to get the lip balm off." You smirk in his direction, watching as he pauses his footsteps, slowly turning to face you.

His eyes are wide and his face has a slight pink tint to it.

Gotcha.

At least, that's what you think.

Seokjin remains silent for a few seconds before his eyes return to their normal size after a few seconds, causing you to arch an eyebrow, the smirk slowly fading off of your face. Seokjin walks back to the dining table, plopping onto the chair as he leans onto the table, eyes locked on you. You watch as he leans forward, puckering his lips in your direction while closing his eyes.

Your eyes are the ones that widen now.

He wants you to kiss him.

You gulp and stare down at his plump lips as they pucker, trying to prevent yourself from attacking this man with kisses. Blinking, you cough and tuck a stray strand of hair behind your ear as he challenges you.

He peeks one eye open, lips still puckered before he speaks.

"I'm waiting." He states before closing his eye and puckering his lips once more.

"Don't test me, Jin." You warn. "You know damn well that I'll actually do it."

"Then why aren't you?" he teases. "You're probably the most confident woman I've met in my entire life. Yet, here you are, unable to kiss me when you just did a few minutes ago. Come on, Y/N. Kiss me." He opens both eyes now, staring at you as he talks.

You're the one getting flustered now.

Despite being a confident, independent woman, when it comes to situations like this where you actually have a crush on the man you want to kiss, it's a little overwhelming. You've been so used to kissing and having sex with men who you don't care about that you lost your touch with men like Seokjin; men who mean something to you, that is.

Gulping, you shake your head and snap out of it, ignoring the sudden shyness overcoming you.

You're Y/N, damn it. If you want to kiss Seokjin, you're going to kiss him. Feelings or no feelings.

You're suddenly reaching over the dining room table, your hands gripping onto the collar of Seokjin's shirt as his smirk disappears. Your nose is touching his, eyes locked on his as you both feel each other's warm breath on your own lips. Eyes looking at Seokjin's lips, you smirk to yourself before arching an eyebrow.

"What? I told you I'd do it." You mumble. Seokjin's chest moves quickly up and down with your touch and yours is doing the same from the close proximity.

Fuck it.

You lean in and press your lips harshly onto his as he reciprocates the kiss, hands finding their way to your waist under the dining table. This kiss is far more rough and needy than the first. The first kiss was a soft, slow kiss, resembling a kiss between two teenagers for the first time. This kiss? Oh, this kiss is far different from anything of the sort.

This kiss is rough. It's hot and heavy. The kiss where you're struggling to breathe but don't care because you want your lips on theirs. The kiss where you're gripping tightly onto one another as if you're falling out of a plane. The kiss where you go into it knowing that your clothes will be wrinkled, hair will be messy, and lips will be swollen afterwards.

After a few minutes of kissing, the only thing that snaps the two of you out of it is when one of you leans a little too forward, causing the pointed edge of the table to slightly hit your side.

You both pull away, breathing heavily.

You look down at your side and examine the now red area that you're certain will bruise. Seokjin's eyes stay locked on you, lips parted and his shirt wrinkled and crumpled up on his collar. Both of your chests are moving up and down quickly as you desperately inhale air.

As you examine your side, your eyes drift to your waist, where Seokjin's hands had been. During the entire makeout session, his hands had gripped onto you like a safety net, leaving red fingerprints on your skin through your clothing.

"Sorry." Seokjin mumbles under his breath as he watches you examining your body. Your head snaps up and you look at him. You take in the sight of his red lips that are even more plump than when he first walked into the kitchen. He takes in the sight of your plump lips as well. Yours had already been red from testing different samples, but now? Now they look as though you just applied a lip stain.

A smile finds its way to your face.

"Don't apologize. I've been wanting to do that." You respond, licking your lips as you stare over at him. He lifts his head up quickly, face filled with curiosity. You let out a soft laugh before giving him a wink.

"You have?" he questions quietly.

"Yeah, ever since I..." you pause.

Do you tell him about your crush on him? Or do you play it off as just wanting to have sex with him?

"Ever since...?" Seokjin questions.

"Since I've gotten to know you." You state before giving him a small smile. Seokjin softly smiles before nodding his head.

"You know, I've always thought you were cute since I met you." He states while shyly looking away from you.

You give him a soft smile before leaning in to press your lips gently on his cheek. His ears turn redder and he finally finds the courage to look over at you again.

"So... what now?" He asks as he stares over at you.

"What do you mean?" Seokjin softly smiles before shaking his head, a soft laugh escaping his lips.

"We can't just kiss like that and have things go back to normal, it's unrealistic, Y/N." He states while staring into your eyes, blinking every few seconds. Your lips part as you think of what to say before you glance away from his eyes.

"Well... you have a point..." you state before you press your lips together for a moment. "I mean... what do you think we should do?" you ask. He lifts his eyebrows before shrugging his shoulders.

"That depends on what you're looking for." He states before shrugging his shoulders. "Do you want to be..." he drifts off before coughing to hide what he was suggesting.

"Together?" you finish. He looks up at you and slowly nods his head.

"Yeah." He presses his lips together as he patiently waits for your response.

"I'm not looking to settle down." You immediately say. "There's so many more things I want to do with my company, Jin."

"What does your company have to do with it?" he quietly asks. You stare at him with sympathetic eyes.

"Because I want to do so many things with my company, I'm worried that I won't be able to give anyone the attention they need while in a relationship with me. I'm a busy woman, Jin. I don't want you getting upset and feeling like I don't care about you just because of everything on my plate right now." You state before biting onto your lower lip. "If I date you, I want to do it when the timing is right and when I've done enough with my company to where I have more time available for you."

Seokjin listens intently as he nods his head while listening to you before softly speaking.

"Fair enough," he states before looking down at his lap for a moment as he thinks. You nervously bite onto your lower lip as you watch him remain quiet for a few moments. After a few seconds of silence, his head snaps back up and his face remains serious as he stares in your direction. "I don't want to resort to this, but I've already offered it before." he licks his lips as he stares over at you.

"Offered what before?" You ask while biting onto your lower lip.

"I told you that you should be sleeping with me after the Yoongi situation... remember?" he questions softly.

"You said you were joking." Jin grins and shrugs his shoulders.

"I wasn't," he states before he rests his elbows on the table, gaining some confidence as he takes a deep breath. "So... want to take me up on my offer?" You lift your eyebrows and your lips part in shock.

"You want to be..."

"Your fuck buddy?" he questions before shrugging. "For now, yeah."

Do you want this?

What about him being your employee?

What about...

Oh, fuck.

What about Jimin?

He can't find out about this if you say yes. He's already been bothering you and saying you've been acting differently. That's one of his best friends. He'll kill you if he finds out about this.

You remain silent as you weigh the benefits and consequences.

Eyes falling on Jin's face, you inhale a sharp breath, taken aback by the way his eyes sparkle as he stares back at you. God, those eyes. Those dark brown eyes.

"Let's do it." You finally speak up.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

"How are we going to get Jimin out of the house?" Seokjin asks as his lips are pressed to yours.

You're both still in the kitchen, pausing every now and then to check that Jimin doesn't come barging into the kitchen to see you two doing this. You've been making out for the past half an hour without him interrupting, but knowing that dinner time is soon, you have an odd feeling that Jimin was bound to come in any minute now.

You pause and pull your lips away from Seokjin's, a soft "pop" sound echoing throughout the room as you let out a soft sigh. Glancing up at the ceiling, your brain starts to think of different ways into tricking him to leave so you two can have the place to yourself.

"Oh! I have an idea." You say before getting up to walk towards the kitchen doors. Seokjin furrows his eyebrows as he watches you making your way out of the kitchen. You glance up, waiting for him to follow behind you and you see his confused face as you then let out a soft laugh. Walking back to where he's seated, you place a hand on his broad shoulder, you give him a soft smile. "I have a business cell, a personal cell, and a cell for random hookups. Let's go get it."

"What does that have to do with anything?" he asks while getting up from the kitchen table, following behind you as you make your way towards your office upstairs.

"You'll see." You state while rushing up the stairs as you quickly sneak past Jimin's room. Luckily, his door is closed and you don't have to worry about him seeing you and Seokjin rushing to do something so urgently.

Arriving in your office, you rush towards your desk and start opening and unlocking the drawers of your desk. You open the drawer and pull out the device as you start typing a text on it.

Seokjin makes his way towards you and stands behind you as he rests his hand against your arm softly while watching as you type.

Y/N: Hey Oscar, I was wondering if you're free tonight?

You feel Seokjin scoff from behind you, causing you to arch an eyebrow as you glance back at him. He has a distasteful look on his face, causing you to roll your eyes as you gently nudge him by backing your body against him.

"Relax. I'm not actually going to hook up with him." You state before you hit send. "I'm going to get Oscar to think we're hooking up so he waits outside the house and I can get Jimin and tell Jimin that Oscar showed up uninvited so he distracts Jimin." Seokjin's distasteful look leaves his face as he understands the plan. When he opens his mouth to speak, your phone beeps.

Oscar: Yeah, I'm free tonight.... You tryin to hook up?

You roll your eyes at his response before turning to Seokjin, smirking.

"Looks like we'll get some extra time together by ourselves tonight." You state, causing Seokjin to smile, shaking his head.

"You're brilliant." You shrug a shoulder before tossing your hair over your shoulder.

"Next time, you're in charge of distracting him."

Onto the news:

The US government has been doing a lot of executions lately and it's really depressing to think that. Though I am someone who believes that people should get the karma they deserve, a death for a death doesn't do anything. I only see that fit for serial killers. There are better options for people who aren't serial killers than killing them.

FKA Twigs recently came out about her abuse from Shia LeBeouf. Apparently he choked her, screamed at her, knowingly gave her an STD without telling her, and many more things. This is a depressing thing to talk about, but the fact that it's FKA Twigs bringing attention to it is good because she may bring others who have been through abuse to come forward as well. I hope that she is able to give others who have dealt with abuse hope.

There was a protest in Washington DC and four people were stabbed. The "Proud Boys" a group of racists were attacking citizens who were peacefully protesting and purposefully started violence. The news hid their name, but they need to be called out and there needs to be justice to stop these violent, racist groups from being able to harm people. I've had enough of seeing the KKK, the Proud Boys, etc. terrorizing people of color, women, and the LGBTQ+ community. Something needs to be done to stop them from being able to condone violence.

There's many more things going on in the world right now but those are the main things that stuck out to me when I was searching the news. Not much else has gotten coverage lately because of everyone talking about the COVID vaccines.

I hope all of you are doing well. I've been doing really well lately and have been really happy which is good. I hope all of you are happy as well and healthy.

I love you. I purple you. Borahae.

Kim ❤️
