"You're my Star baby, You light up my world. "

Jongin

Smiling with what feels like tears in my eyes, I took in my surroundings. Candle lights were on the ground to form a trail. Which led to A table set for dinner with a few lit candles to keep the mood on it. A little farther from the table was a picnic blanket spread over the grass with a few comforters on it. Beside it was a Picnic blanket which had a fair amount of snacks, A bottle of champagne and a few packs of M&M's. It wasn't anything too grand but it still made my heart flutter senselessly.

This is the sweetest thing someone has ever done for. Cheesy but Sweet.

When Jongin noticed I had a fair amount of tears running down my cheek, panic coarse through him. "Baby," He mused, turning me to face him, "You're not supposed to cry." His fingertips brushed my cheeks wiping the tears that kept falling.

"Don't You like it?" He asked uncertainly. I shook my head in panic, a smile ghosting my lips, "these are tears of Joy you sappy fool." I let out a chuckle. Wrapping my arms around his waist tightly, I sniffed, "I love it."

"I'm glad you do. I love this place." Jongin smiled, his warm hands caressing my cheeks lovingly.

"I used to come here often as A kid." He continued, eyes roaming about with a small smile on his face. Taking my hands in his large ones, we moved towards the dinner table.

"Really?" I questioned, eyes roaming about. The place was magnificent. It was just one of those houses with a cool backyard. A great place to relax and think. No wonder Jongin likes it here. Its beautiful.

"Mmm," He gave me his billion dollar smile. "Come on, sit." He pulled out a chair and I chuckled.

How gentleman-ly.

Muttering a thanks, "I'm not actually dressed up for this fancy dinner," I commented as I sat down.

Jongin rolled his eyes and kissed my head. He sits on the other side of the table with a smile on his face, "Well same here, but who cares right?"

"Right." I agree with a nod as I placed the napkins on my lap. "Oh and by the way, I didn't know you could be such a gentleman." Not forgetting to add a mischievous smile, I teased.

Jongin burst out laughing but covered it with a cough. And with a fake accent and his head raised, like a royal, he commented, "I try." I couldn't help but laugh at his silliness.

"Alright." He started as someone who looked like Kyungsoo? and a few men on suits approached us with silver wares. I watch as Kyungsoo Directed the men as they placed different trays of food on our table. I don't know what it is but it smells delicious.

I looked up with my brows furrowed at the Kyungsoo who gave a smile, before he went into the house. That familiar heart shaped smile omg.

Giggling, I looked at Jongin with wide eyes and mouthed a 'Omg, was that D.O!?" He made a "shh" gesture back at me with a smile. Oh it definitely is Kyungsoo.

I was on the verge of salivating as I watch them open the silver wares which contained numerous varieties of tasty looking Korean dishes.

I smiled thankfully at the men when they were done and looked at Jongin who was smiling at me, "I hope you're not allergic to anything here mi'lady?" He asked still with posh fake accent(which he is so bad at). Chuckling, I shook my head in response. "Good."

"Alright." He started placing his own napkins on his lap. "Let's dig in."

"Bon apetit."

And let me tell you, Once it touched my tongue, I moaned in delight. That is the most delicious meal I've had in a while.

°°°°°

"So you think I'd look good in a suit as an FBI agent?" I asked moving towards Jongin with the champagne bottle and two glasses. He was seating on the Swing that I didn't even notice was there until Jongin Moved towards it after Dinner.

The swing looked like it has been here for a while. Its wooden parts looked handmade. It was the kind of swing made for two people, or three of they scooted enough. It looks comfy though and I didn't mind it.

After dinner-which was delicious, might I add-, Jongin and I thought that we could use some fresh air and maybe spend the night here-the latter was totally Jongin's idea-, I didn't mind the former but the Latter was actually put into consideration.

I had to call Jihyun to ask first, which he didn't reply but I sent him a Voice message telling him of the plan and asking him to call me when he sees the message.

Sitting beside Jongin who was browsing through my phone's gallery, I handed him one of the glasses. He was currently staring at one of my many Halloween party pictures.

"Yes totally." He replied muttering a thanks as I poured him a drink. "I mean not everyone can pull this off," he gestured to the picture of me wearing a LAPD police uniform for one of my dad's many Halloween parties. "So yes." He smiled at me, "I think you'll look good in a suit. Heck you'll look good in anything you wear babe."

I stared at him with a small smile on my face. How he knows what to say and when to say it, is beyond me. "Cheers." I raised my glass in the air.

"Cheers." He smiled. I leaned to his side, his arm wraps around my shoulders pulling me closer to his side. I took a deep breath and rested my head on his shoulder. He kissed my head affectionately and we sat there in a comfortable silence staring into the sky.

"You know," Jongin started taking a sip from his glass," This used to be my Happy place."

"Happy place?" I raised my head and looked up at him, my eyebrows raised in question. "Yes this used to be my place. I usually come here when I want to be alone or when I want to cool off which is probably like all the time."

"Well that was until....You." He continued smiling.

"Me?" I questioned in surprise.

"Yes. You baby." He kissed my head softly.

"Care to explain?"

"Mmm." Chuckling, he dropped his glass on the floor and took my hand into his. "Before you came I used to be so mad at the world. For.....everything. I was so pissed at Almost everyone including myself for everything that has happened." I squeezed his hand reassuringly and he squeezed back with a thankful smile in his face.

"And instead of taking it out on anybody, I just drive over here and stayed till I was calm enough. In that moment at least."

Lifting our entwined hands, he Stared at it as he continued, "uhm, t-the boys and My Mom were the only ones I could fully tolerate and then you came and my whole world changed." He took a deep breath and turned to face me. "You came and it was like I was complete again. Like I had hope. Hope that I could be happy again. Like there was finally a Glow in my dark life." I was utterly speechless. Jongin saw my reaction and he chuckled.

"Before I met you, I didn't know how it felt like to be happy. I didn't know what it was like to be able to Think or Look at Someone and smile for no reason." I opened my mouth to say something but Nothing came out.

"You are my Light JinHee." He continued, kissing the back of my hand. "This is totally cheesy and cliche but you're my star Baby. You light up my world."I sucked in a huge breath. That was the most beautiful thing someone has ever said to me. I was awed by how sincere he looked and sounded that I leaned towards him and Kissed him. Words can't be able to explain what I am feeling right now.

The Kiss which was supposed to be a light and innocent Kiss turned even more intense. More passionate. I don't think I'll ever shut up about how Kissing Jongin makes me feel. How He makes me feel.

Its like Jongin is a very bad drug and with the way he's kissing me right now with intense passion as I am kissing him is making me feel, then I'd love to say that I'm getting addicted to him.

And I don't mind one bit.

Jongin's hands on my waist tugged me closer to his body as we got tangled up in what seem like a heated make out session. I could feel the heat radiating off his body. My senses were heightened.

As my hands made its way around his neck, I raked my hands through his hair softly. He sighed in content, pulling me even more close to his body. He is kissing me like there's no tomorrow and I feel like I was losing the little thread of sense I had left. God he was Good.

The logical part of my brain left my body when Jongin's lips left mine to claim my neck. I pulled my head back to give him more access. He Placed light feathery kisses until he reached the base of my throat and sucked. My body reacted to that, I let out a low moan, and in the process, I tugged a fistful of his hair.

This did the trick cause Jongin let out a low growl, and pulled me on his lap so I was straddling him, reclaiming my lips again, he worked his magic. The Kiss was fast, rough and passionate. I didn't know what was happening around me. It was as if, it is just me and Jongin and the rest of the world. It was like what we felt with each other was being spoken through this kiss.

We were Kissing urgently until he bit my lips softly. Shocked, I unconsciously tugged hard on his hair again. This time he couldn't help it, "Fuck baby." He moaned into my mouth and that was the sexiest thing ever.

I didn't want to end it, but because we're humans and our lung has had it limit we broke the kiss. "I love you baby." Jongin whispered. Our forehead were connected and We were both breathing damn fast.

That was intense.

"I love you too." I looked into his eyes which were now a more darker shade of brown. They had different emotions in it; Affection, fondness, adoration, desire but the Love in his eyes as he stares at me overpowers them all.

I hope he knew how much I love him because words cannot even begin to explain it.

"Does it hurt?" He asked breathless. He broke our staring contest and glanced at my lips.

"Huh?" I questioned dumbly watching him as he used his fingers to brush strands of my hair away from my face. His fingertips brushed my face softly, sending shivers down my spine. I let out a shaky breath. The things his touch does to me.

"Your lips," he brushed his thumbs on the said lips and I sighed, "I bit them earlier." He dropped his hands from my lips but made no attempt to remove it from my face and stared up into my eyes. "No." I mumbled softly, using my tongue to brush against my lips. Yes he did bite my lips but it wasn't that hard. "No."

"Good," He chuckled, his gaze fixated on my lips "Cause I still want to Kiss you more tonight." The way he said it, his voice husky and low was so sexy I turned red in embarrassment.

I Don't Mind.

This made Jongin laugh out loud, "You're so cute." He mused, Moving my legs so I was sitting comfortably on his lap. He pecked my lips before leaning down to pick his glass up.

I watch him as he took a sip of the champagne and I couldn't help but wonder If Fate was on my side this time. I mean the first time in my life I decide to come to Korea, I feel whole again, I met amazing people, I got 12 handsome males who's got my back and most importantly I fell in love with the most amazing person I know.

I smiled softly to my self. Maybe coming to Korea wasn't such a bad idea after all.

"Hey babe," Jongin started disrupting me from my train of thoughts.

"Hmm?" I answered, stirring so I could bury my face in Jongin's neck. Don't blame me, My boyfriend smells so heavenly.

I heard Jongin chuckle before he continued, "I've been meaning to ask...What was the first thing that came to your mind when you saw me?" The question truly caught me off guard. I removed my head from his Neck in surprise and glanced up at him.

"What?" For a moment I thought he was joking, but the look on his face was quite something. He looked genuinely curious.

"Wait you're serious?" I asked.

"I'm curious." He smirked. "Because my first thought when I saw you is something I don't want you to know until you tell me what you first thought of me. "

"Oh." My first impression of him. I mean I thought it was quite obvious what I-we thought of each other the first time we met.

The first time I saw Jongin, his eyes were the first thing I noticed, they were the deepest and most beautiful shade of brown I've ever seen.

Even though his eyes were guarded and they were glaring straight at me. I found them mesmerizing-still do.

And how he smelt so Good that day, God. Just like I later found out that that was the way he smelt everyday. Bliss

And that his facial proportions resembled those of an abrecombile & fitch model. He looked Hot, that's for sure. Sexy(those sharp jawline of his and that piercing eyes were definitely sexy). Handsome, breathtaking And finnnneee(stress on the 'e' cause that is the how fine he is).

I remember thinking God 'When did Greek Gods stayed in Korea'. It was quite amusing because then I met 11 others and I knew they were born in Korea.

Those were the first things that came to my mind until he opened his mouth and just like birds on a rainy day, all those adjectives flew away and replaced with Jerk, Rude, arrogant, and all the bad things I could think of at that time. Major Asshole being one of it.

"Hello. Earth to JinHee!" Jongin waving his hands frantically across my face snapped me out of my thought. I smiled sheepishly at him. "Sorry."

"Well I'm listening..."

"Handsome." I started, I wasn't looking at Jongin but I could feel his amused gaze on me as if he was expecting that answer and that smirk oh lord.

I rolled my eyes, "That was the first conclusion I made for those first few seconds we stared at each other."

"And the second?"

"The moment you talked back at me, you Lost that adjective. I thought, "wow. What crawled up his ass? he's such a rude jerk." Jongin chuckled at this. "I was so mad at you that Day." I shook my head with a smile.

"Well I don't blame you, I was totally being a jerk then." He said with a regretful smile. "But oh well I hope that has changed now?" He raised his brows.

I nodded my head. Its actually quite amusing how we went from hating each other's presence, to pretending we weren't there and then tolerating each other a little and then Having feelings for each other and now look at us. Look at how far we've come. "Very much."

He smirked, "OK then, tell me." He looked up so we were staring right at each other's eyes, "What do you think of me now?"

"No." I shook my head laughing. That was something I'd rather keep to myself, unless utterly necessary. "Tell me what you first thought when you saw me."

"Oh that's easy. I thought you were the prettiest girl I've ever seen in my life." I blushed crimson red. He said it freely as if not knowing the damage it does to my heart.

He shook his head, "Wait let me rephrase that; I think you are the most beautiful thing that has ever existed. And believe me that's saying a lot because I've seen a lot of pretty things in my lifetime."

My heart was beating loudly against my chest and I was sure Jongin could hear it too.

Damn, how he manages to Keep my heart unsteady is a secret which only he knows.

Yes, I'm not one that takes the 'you're pretty' compliment to heart. Most times when someone tells me that 'I'm pretty' I just smile politely at them because its not something new. Not to sound egoistical but I'm the kind of person that appreciates her self.

I am pretty and I know it.

But hearing it from Kai's mouth is overwhelming. It sounds amazing coming from him.

I've never felt so loved as I do today.

"That's too bad." Jongin started, smiling at me. I must have thought that out loud. "You don't see what I see when I look at you, baby. You're an Amazing person JinHee." He took my hand and kissed the back softly. "And its not a compliment." My heart was swelling in happiness. How did I get this lucky.

"Wanna hear a story?"

"A story?" I questioned. Jongin nodded with a smile. "A story of how I first met you?" Huh? I furrowed my brows in confusion. Wasn't it at school that he first saw me?

Jongin chuckled. I know little creases of confusion were forming on my forehead. "No." He said.

I raised my brows. "That day at school, that wasn't the first time I saw you. It was the second actually."

"What? how?" I tried to remember, was it at the cafe? The day I saw Luhan. I doubt it though.

If I had seen him there, his face would have stuck. I mean, i remember all the faces, I saw there that day. I doubt it was there. Was it at the phone store? No I don't think so. With a sexy bronze skin like his, his handsome face, lean muscular body, his confident strides, and that charismatic aura, it'll be surely hard to miss him in a phone store.

Then where? Those were the only places I went to before school.

"It was at the airport."

With a confused face, I whispered, "Airport?" I adjusted my jacket, it was getting chilly out here. Since it was Early December. The weather has gotten more chilly. We are lucky it didn't snow out today. Nice weather but still a little bit cold.

"Yeah. The airport." He answered. Jongin noticed my tugging on my jacket and worry filled his eyes. "You cold?" He asked, removing his scarf and wrapping it around my neck. He put his hand in his coat pocket and pulled out the beanie I was wearing earlier. He tugged at my hairband and pulled down my ponytail, allowing my hair to flow freely down my back. Using his fingers to brush my hair down, he placed the beanie securely on my head.

"Feeling better?" He questioned, grabbing one of my hands and entwining it with his.

Who wouldn't? I nodded, muttering a thanks. He kissed my forehead before putting our entwined hands in his coat pocket.

"So you saw me at the airport?"

"Yes. But that's a story for another day." He chuckled at the scowl on my face.

"But I want to hear it now." I argued but he wasn't buying it. "Nope."

"Please, please, please." I pleaded, puppy dog eyes and pouty lips to add the effect but Jongin just chuckled.

"You're cute but what did I say about pouting?" I furrowed my brows. What's he talking about again?. "If you don't want me to kiss you senselessly then I advise you stop pouting. You're tempting me."

Oh.

"Oh."

"Yes Oh." He chuckled again. I felt my phone vibrating inside my pocket and I know Jongin felt it too cause he raised his brow in question.

I brought out my phone and saw the caller. "Its Jihyun." I told Jongin sliding the green answer button.

"Hey." I turned so I was sitting with my back pressed against Jongin's chest. He immediately wrapped his hand around my waist and rested his head on my shoulder. I smiled.

"Hello noona." I heard Jihyun say.

"Hey baby, what took you so long to call back?"

"Sehun hyung told me not to call back until it was late."

"Sehun? Why?"

"Something about not disturbing you guys. He told me you were in safe hands." I couldn't help but laugh. Sehun can be a cutie sometimes.

Jongin whispered a 'sehun? What's Jihyun saying?' Beside me and I just shook my head smiling.

"Is that hyung?Is Jongin hyung with you there?"

"Yes. He's here." Jongin pressed on the loudspeaker feature.

"I'm here bro, what's up?" I turned my head and pecked his nose, which made him chuckle and kissed the side of my head

"Nothing much. Are you guys having fun?"

"Yup." Jongin muttered moving his head as I try to kiss his nose again. My face broke into a grin.

He hates that, I see.

"Noona, and you?"

"I am. Baby did you have dinner yet?" I pushed Jongin's head away from placing sloppy wet kisses on my cheeks. 'Stop.' I Mouthed with a glare. 'No' he tightened his hold on my waist and try to pull my head to his side but i wasn't having it. I pushed my head away from his side. He frowned. I giggled at the cute frow on his brow.

"Yes Noona. Sehun's chef made dinner. How about you two?"

"We did." Jongin mumbled as he gave up on trying to kiss my cheek. And retorted to just placing his head on my shoulder.

"Wait Sehun's chef? You're at Sehun's house?"

"No we're at home. I was about making dinner when Sehun came with dinner. So we're having a sleepover of some sort here. He's currently taking a shower now though." This was news, I turned to Jongin with a raised brow as if asking wth?

"I figured Jihyun would be lonely at home so I asked Sehun to accompany him for tonight."

My heart warmed at that. To others, it might seem like nothing but it means so much to me that Jongin would be so thoughtful to think about Jihyun's well being. Jongin is too sweet. I don't know what I did in my past life to deserve someone like him.

"Baby are you mad at me?" Jongin asked carefully. He must have taken my silence for anger.

I shook my head with a smile. "No." I could see the breath of relief come out from his mouth. "I was just thinking of our lucky I am to have you."

He smiled, "you and me both then."

I shook my head with a sigh, I turned, burying my face into his chest. "I don't deserve you."

Jongin smiles and wrap his hands around my waist. Pressing his lips to my forehead with adoration in his eyes, he whispers,

"No you don't. You deserve the world."

See what I'm saying. He's so sweet.

With a smile, I sniffed back my tears and look up so we were staring right into each other's eyes, "I love you."

"I love you more." He kisses me softly, It was a chaste kiss but it was long enough for us to convey what we felt for each other.

As we pulled away, with our foreheads connected together, he smiled at me. "The things I want to do to-" A loud obnoxious cough cut Jongin off from Completing his sentence.

"Guys! Keep it RPG please." We heard Sehun's voice from the phone's speaker. Oh! I have totally forgotten that we were on the phone. "We have a Kid here."

We burst out laughing as we heard Jihyun mumble out an "I'm not a kid for crying out loud! I'm 15 for Christ sake. 15! Not 5 come on!"

"Sorry to burst your bubble kiddo but 15 is definitely a kid." Jongin chuckled which made Jihyun start mumbling.

"You guys are just two years older than me. Two years! Don't let it get to your head bullies." The three of us burst out laughing.

"Jokes on you saeng, its December right now so in less than a month I'll be 18 so add a year to that." Jongin replied smugly and I rolled my eyes.

Jihyun mumbled a 'whatever' and We all laughed at him again. "Sorry baby but your still a kid."

"Yeah yeah bullies."

"Guys! Go back to your date we don't want to intrude. Jihyun and I just called to say Goodnight. Right buddy?" Sehun asked.

"Yeah. Good night noona. Good night hyung."

"Goodnight baby."
"Goodnight kiddo."

"Oh and guys?"

"Yeah baby?"

"I'm too young to be an uncle now so No funny Businesses!" I heard Sehun laughing in the background. I blushed so hard. Meanwhile Jongin just laughed beside me.

"Can't promise that buddy." I hit Jongin hard at this, my face heating up even more.

"Whatever. I warned you Noona." I could hear the smile in his voice. "Hyung take care of my noona and bring her home tomorrow in one piece if you don't want to die."

Jongin smiled at me. "Always Jihyun."

"Alright have fun! Good night!" We mumbled back a good night in response.

"Bro I took care of the bike." Sehun Spoke up and we heard shuffling. I assume he was moving away from Jihyun.

"Thanks Bro, I owe you one." Jongin replied. I furrowed my brows. What are they talking about again?

"Take care guys. Good night. Love you JinHee." Sehun muttered.

Deciding to just brush it off, I smiled, "Love u too Sehunnie, Good night."

"No 'I love you to me' Sehunnie?" Jongin teased, his grin wide. "I'm hurt best friend. How can you pick my girlfriend over me? You wound me seriously."

I know Sehun was rolling his eyes as I chuckled. "Fuck you man."

"Love you too!"

Sehun Let out a sarcastic laugh. "Good night JinHee. Don't let Jongin get any!" before either Jongin or I could say something the sneaky brat ended the call.

I was blushing so hard that it was so pitiful. I looked at Jongin who's face was been reflected on by the moonlight to see the little tinge of pink on his cheek. We made eye contact and I looked away shyly.

It was quiet for a while with the only sound heard being those of the cricket and night flies.

Jongin coughed his this-is-too-awkward-cough and I couldn't help but smile.

Clearing my throat, I asked, "So... 21 questions?" He shrugged. "Sure but let's sit there." He gestured to the blanket on the floor with a few comforters there. I didn't blame him for wanting to stay there, that was the perfect spot for stargazing.

I moved towards the blanket with Jongin following closely behind me. He sat across from me and I gave him the 'ok' sign for him to start the game before drowning the rest of my champagne. I was getting a lil bit tipsy, just a lil bit while Jongin on the other hand was calmly sipping his wine still sober. I shook my head to clear my thoughts. Deciding that, I wasn't drinking any more tonight, I put away the glass.

"Okay, we'll skip the basic questions since we did that part the last time." I nodded smiling at the memory. When We were asked to play seven minutes in heaven back at Suho's mansion. It was going great, well until I brought up that Kiss Jongin had with that senior and we had a fight, and I can't forget our almost kiss. I blushed at the last part which Jongin definitely did not miss because he chuckled.

I've actually noticed nothing gets pass Jongin, he's as observant as a detective and I find that trait very.... Attractive.

"Can I ask anything?" There's something I've been meaning to ask since Jongin told me about this place. Its been irking me for the past hour but I've been pushing it to the back of my mind. I think now is the perfect time to ask-Even though I doubt, I might get an answer.

"Yeah. Sure." He shrugged, pouring himself another glass of champagne. I tugged at the comforter and wrapped it across both our legs.

"You mentioned something about this place being a place for you to vent out because you were so pissed at everyone including yourself for 'everything that's happened'." I notice that Jongin has gone still, his jaw was clenched so as his fists.

"If you don't mind me asking, what do you mean by that? What happened?" I asked softly noticing that his jaw has gone rigid, he eyes were hard as if relieving a very painful memory. The look on his face was hard, it made me even more curious but I wouldn't push it If he doesn't want to talk about it.

"Its okay if you don't want to talk about it." His gaze snapped up to mine and I saw his eyes soften a lil bit, "You don't have to tell me. I can ask another question if you-"

"No." He started abruptly, "I-I-. "

"Take your time." I smiled reassuringly. He gave me a small smile in return and that warmed my heart. "It was something that happened in the past, I-," he took a deep breath and I took his hands and squeezed it.

"I want to tell you but I don't think I'm ready to yet," I nodded. "I understand." I totally do. "I'll tell you soon hmmm?" I nodded.

"Okay let me change my question." He nodded, Kissing the back of my hand.

I decided to change the question to something lighter. "How did you meet the guys?" He chuckled at this and I continued, "Sehun told me how you two met but he didn't tell me about the rest of the guys."

"I don't blame him." He chuckled. "Its actually a funny story." I smiled at this.

"Well I'm curious."

"It was at a party when we were like Four. We were this shy, reserved kids when we were little like really really shy. I remember the only person I could look in the eye was my mom and Sehun.

So we were at this party Sehun's dad's company was hosting. I think it was an end of the year dinner. So as the little kids that we were then, we liked candies like so so much that our moms forbade us from eating them because of our teeth and all those shit, moms used to say." I chuckled.

"Being the naughty child I was then, I disregarded my mom's warning and dragged Sehun with me to the back where they were lots of it. But then the problem was that it was on this high table and the both of us couldn't reach it. I tried to assist Sehun by lifting his legs up so he could reach it and take as many as he can but then Sehun's butler saw us and we were like oh shit." Jongin and I chuckled, I can imagine the look on their faces.

"Before he could reach where we were, I helped sehun jump down and together we bolted out of the hall through the back door. On our way out of the door, we ran slammed into five kids who were all taller and older than us. They were trying to get into the hall because it had started snowing outside, the little candies Sehun had in his hands fell on the floor due to the impact and we panicky picked it up.

We muttered a quick apology to the boys when we heard Footsteps approaching our direction and bolted out of the door in a haste. I dragged Sehun by the hand -at least I Thought it was Sehun- until the person spoke up, "um, why are we running?" It was Suho hyung. Out of shock, I stopped and turned back to see that it wasn't Sehun's hands that I was holding and that the said Sehun was running towards my direction with the four other boys-Xiumin hyung, Luhan, Baekhyun, Lay-in toll." I couldn't help but smile at the smile on his face. Its so obvious Jongin adores those boys.

"I was going to mutter an apology to them, when Someone shouted that someone was coming-Xiumin hyung- so i dragged them to the closet door I could find which was the Sehun's game room and we locked the door. We stayed there for a few minutes in silence until we were sure we couldn't hear any footsteps. But same with what happened to both of us at school, when we tired to get out the door was locked." I burst out laughing at this. I laughed so much that I had to clutch my stomach. Trust Something like that to happen. I don't know how much I laughed for but Jongin joined in after a few minutes.

"It was so tragic, The look on our faces then was actually funny now that I think about it. We couldn't call for help because a grand party was being held so we decided to take advantage of the situation. We turned on the light and played with Sehun's toy until someone opened the door. Which was like the next morning." He chuckled.

"By then we had already bonded. We stayed seven of us for like two days until we met Kris hyung in the park one day and he introduced us to Chen, Chanyeol, D.O-who wasn't really a fan of people then. And then 11 of us saw Tao hyung playing alone on the swing that day and we decided to befriend him as well and we've been inseparable since then."

I couldn't help but awww at the story. I can't even begin to describe how sincerely happy Jongin looked Telling me this story. "You really like having em around huh?"

"Yes. They can be annoying as hell but I can't exchange them for the world. They're my best friends. No. " he shook his head, "they're my brothers. We're family." I smiled at this. He looks genuinely happy talking about them. You could see the fondness in his eyes as he talks about them. It was such an admirable trait

"My turn, " Jongin started and I smiled, "Why did you come to South Korea?."

I thought about it, my reason for coming to Korea was as easy as saying the alphabets. "To start a new I guess. I wanted a fresh start." I shrugged.

That was partially true. I guess I'm not ready to talk about that other part of my life yet.

"Oh that makes sense." I know from the look on his face that he knows that isn't all but he won't pry. That's one among the many other reasons why I love Jongin.

"C'mere." He shifted so I could sit beside him. I draped the blanket over both of our legs. He put his hand around my shoulders so I was leaning into him. Did I ever mention that Jongin was warm? Like super warm. It was cute. And such a great advantage because I get cold easily. "Okay your turn."

"Tell me about your family." I looked up at him to see the question took him by surprise.

"Oh. Uhm," He sighed, "there's nothing really there to tell though. Its just Me, my Mom and my uhm my-father. I am an only child, uhm yeah" I waited for him to continue but he just kept quiet.

"Okay and?" I pushed, "Tell me about your parents then?"

"My Mom uhm, Is actually the sweetest person I know. Yes she can be annoying at times but I love her. She's literally my rock. No she's the rock that holds our family together. She's like the most caring person I know. She's playful, like really playful but she hates it when people lie to her. She loves the boys as if they are her own children-sometimes I even think she loves them more than me but," he chuckled. "I know she loves me too. She's my favourite Person on earth. " I smiled at that. Its obvious with the way his eyes are glinting in admiration, that he adores his mom so much and that's like the sweetest thing ever. "Oh and she makes the best Kimchi everrrr." I chuckled at this.

Ignoring the fact that he didn't say anything about his dad I commented, "She must be a nice person." I mumbled more to my self but Jongin heard it anyways. "She is."

Since Jongin is her only child, She'll like what's best for him. Will she like me? I'm not really the sweetest person on earth. I'm not your typical Korean beauty. What if she doesn't like me? Will I l-, "Babe!" Jongin called out snapping me out of my thoughts. I glanced up at him, "I know what you're thinking and believe me its utterly unnecessary because She already Loves you." He smiled. But I've never seen her before so how?.

"Before we started dating, the boys told her about you and she really wanted to meet you. But she didn't have the time. As you know she's a very busy person. But then, i started having feeling for you and she was ecstatic. I told her about you and she like me fell in love with you." I let out a breath in relief. Jongin chuckled, "I won't be surprised if she gets your number and calls you one day to thank you for changing my life haha." I let out a forced laugh, let's hope I won't embarrass my self when that time comes.

"Don't put much thought into it okay?" Jongin asked but how can I not. I've never done the meet-your-boyfriends-parent phase ever. Technically I'm not meeting the parents yet but I nodded, let's hope I'll be okay when that time comes.

Jongin noticed my worry and squeezed my hands."My turn now." I nodded my head still thinking about meeting Jongin's mom.

"How do you like Seoul so far?" I glanced up at him with a smile. I know he totally did this to take my mind off meeting his parents.

Little little things like this are what makes me love him even more.

Chatting animatedly as we laughed about the most silliest things. I have never had this much fun before. I felt so happy that I wanted to pause this moment.

"Alright your turn." Jongin chuckled, Seeing the excited glint in my eyes. I was having so much fun.

I smirked, knowing the perfect question for him, "Will you ever tell me about the first time you saw me?"

He burst out laughing. "I knew that would come up sooner or later." Did you blame me? I am a curious human being.

"Yes. I will, " I was going to rejoice but then he continued "just not today."

"Oh come on!" I whined in annoyance but clearly he found amusement in my whining cause he was chuckling. I pouted and Jongin stopped laughing.

His gaze landed on my pouting lips and his eyes grew darker.

Oh shit!

He stared at me for a second and before I could say 'oh my God', he was Kissing me like crazy. Like really really crazy. The kiss was rough and fast, like really fast and damn was I kissing him with the same urgency.

When Jongin noticed that I was responding with the same urgency, he hauled me into his lap, not breaking the kiss for once. I wrapped my hands around his neck, "Wh-what did I-I say about pouting?" He asked between kisses, I figured this was some kind of punishment so I decided to play his game. I let my fingers rake his hair and Jongin sighed in between my mouth, this made my courage exceed into the sky and I smirked.

Jongin tongue graze my lips asking for entrance and I ignored it. Frustrated, he bit my lips and I gasped. He used the opportunity to slip his tongue into my mouth. Our tongue battled for dominance until I let him win. Jongin smiled in between kisses. He took my bottom lips in his and sucked. Still kissing like our lives depended on it, I let my fingers massage Jongin's hair, one of his hand were carefully gliding my waist, and the other was holding my face tenderly. I made sure I was Kissing him with the same fire as he was so his reaction to what I was about to do would be priceless.

When Jongin was too infested with the kiss, I threw one of my legs so I was straddling him. "Baby... " I moaned when Jongin's lips grazed my neck. What was I saying again? I've totally forgotten. He placed light kisses on my neck. Making the hairs on my back to raise up in anticipation. With each Kiss, I kept sighing in content. His lips reached the base of my throat and I lost it! I forcefully tugged on his hair, the same time he sucked on the sweet spot on my neck. This made the both of us moan out in pleasure.

"Fuck, Jinhee." He hissed, Taking my lips in his again. I've come to realize that tugging hard on his hair during our make out sessions does things to him. It was his weakness.

As sadistic as it sounded, I loved pulling his strings. I smirked in between our kiss when Jongin hands left my face, to rest on my waist. He wanted me closer and Fuck I need him too.

I moved closer and Jongin moaned. I was midway through pulling off Jongin Jacket when hiss phone started ringing. Startled, we pulled away from each other. Jongin buried his face in my neck breathing heavily. I pulled out his phone from his coat pocket to notice that it was an alarm of some sought.

Before I could ask what it was for, Jongin stood up abruptly. I shrieked in surprise and wrapped my legs around his waist, clutching hard on his neck so I don't fall off. Which was really stupid because Jongin had his hold on me which was perfectly tight. I blushed in embarrassment. I heard Jongin chuckle and my face got even redder.

He dropped me carefully on the floor after placing a swift kiss on my head. "Come on baby, don't be shy." I gently lifted my head up, still flushed from our make out session and in embarrassment. Jongin smiled.

"What's the alarm for?" I asked handing him his phone. He just smiled. I raised my brows in question but he ignored it and took my hands.

"I don't know how many times I've said this today but I don't think its enough to prove how much you mean to me, I love you Jinhee." My eyes widened, What is happening? "I love you so much baby girl. I know I didn't ask you properly to be my girlfriend but-" he Quickly took flowers from beneath the table(they were my favourite-white lillies) and handed it to me. When did that get there? And how did Jongin know I love white lilies? My grin couldn't get any wider.

"My love, I hope its not too late to ask you?" he handed me a bar of my favourite chocolates, "You can either say yes or yes, no other answer whatsoever is appreciated." I chuckled, of course I was so saying yes. "So Lee Jinhee Jayden, Will you be my girlfriend?"

I put my hand on my chin and stared into space in a thinking motion, "hmmm, let me think about it." Jongin's mouth opened in shock. It was so cute that I couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Baby!! Be serious." He tried to say seriously but I could see that he was trying to fight off his grin. And his eyes were sparkling in happiness. God did I love him so much.

"Yes dummy, of course I will be your girlfriend." I rolled my eyes. "You're literally begging me so of course." I decided to flip my hair for extra effect.

Jongin's lips curled up in a smile. "You're really crazy." He ran his hands through his hair with a smile.

"But you love me." I commented, Tearing open the pack of chocolate. I took a bite and closed my eyes, savouring the taste in delight. OMG. This is so Good.

He chuckled and nodded his head "That I do." His eyes light up with mischief before he spoke up, "I've got more of those chocolates at home, " my eyes almost bulged out of their sockets, OMG. Seeming amused by my reaction, he continued, "and they'll be all yours.... if I get a proper and sweet answer." The smirk in his voice was so obvious. Even without those blackmails, of course I would be his girlfriend. No-I am already his girlfriend. But this is the sweet thing, I love about us. We add the fun in everything and I love that.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"Uhm? What?" Jongin gestured to his ear and shook his head. "Psh, I can't hear you over the wind." I rolled my eyes.

"Yes! Baby I'll be your girlfriend."

Jongin nodded in approval. "That's more like it." I hit his arm and he chuckled, pulling me closer to his body, he wrapped his arm around my waist. "You know you can't go back on your words right?" I shook my head. I didn't plan on doing that.

"You are now a very essential part of my dark life baby. I need you to see through all these darkness." he Kissed my forehead, "You're officially my Star Now. I love you."

Can my heart beat go any faster? My grin was so wide that I was afraid my face would break into half. "I love you too." I hugged him tight and buried my face into his chest. There was nothing more peaceful than being in the arms of the one we love.

With Jongin there's this sense of comfort that comes with hugging him. Inhaling his scent was heaven alone. And being in his arms oh God. Was even better than eating my favourite chocolates. And that's saying a lot because I love eating chocolates.

Just immediately after Jongin pressed a Kiss on the top of my head, I heard the familiar sound of fireworks going up into the sky. I lifted my head up just in time for the explosion of art.

"Wow." The colours that came out were all beautiful, I smiled brightly. For as long as I've lived, I've always had a thing for fireworks, the colours that came with it were like inspiration to me, I've always wished my life were as beautiful as the fireworks. But growing up I've realized that that was impossibly possible. But now, here with Jongin, I didn't mind how shady and ugly my Life is. As long as I'm with him. I looked up at Jongin with a smile on my face. "Did you do this?" He nodded and I mouthed a 'thank you.'.

Jongin gestured to the sky and I looked up to see the words that made my eyes water, beautifully glowing in bright colours in the sky. "I LOVE YOU JINHEE." I felt Jongin move behind me before he wrapped his arms around my waist in a back hug. I leaned towards him as he dropped his chin on my shoulder.

Burying, his face into my neck, he kissed my cheeks and whispered,

"Thank you for coming to my world, my Star."
