Haneul's POV

Flashback

Jimin led me to my now room at Yoongi's house. He insisted on unlocking the door for me, marching me to his old room. I was surprised by how well he could tell where everything was, even in the dark. He even had keys to the house!

"Do you do this often?" I chuckled, looking at him with my head cocked to the side.
"Huh? Do what?" He asked distractedly, checking each room before deciding it was safe for us to remain in the house.

"I mean, play cops and robbers in Yoongi's house." I shrugged.

That definitely earned me a smile. And then he broke into laughter.

"You know, Haneul, I really missed this the most about you." He gave me a tight embrace and let go just as quickly. Then he insisted that I remove all of my clothes and toss them aside to be washed.

While I showered, Jimin waited for me to freshen up, occasionally making small talk while I was still in the en suite bathroom.

As I cleaned up, removing all of the clothing I wore and leaving them in the laundry basket, Jimin lounged on the bed, paging through one of the novels I got from Tae the other day.
I just made a start on The Lord of the Rings, enjoying the irony of the title in contrast to my current situation with my seven fiances.

When he heard me step back into the room, he immediately put the book down and drew his attention to me, a huge smile on his face.

"I'm so glad we got to spend some time together today, Jagiya." Jimin whispered, pressing a kiss to my lips.

"Me too, but you have to stay a little longer, Chimmy." I wrapped my arms around his waist, resting my head on his chest.

"My love, I will make it up to you. I promise." Jimin pressed his lips to mine, kissing me like it would be his last.
He held my face in the palms of his hands, tenderly sucking on my bottom lip, a soft moan escaping his lips.

"I love you Jimin." I murmured to him.

We were standing near the dresser, the curtains to the room's only window were left slightly opened.
Jimin's arms froze over my body, he hugged me protectively in one hand.

His other hand pulled out his revolver and he slowly raised it to the window.

"Jagiya, you need to sit on your bed really quietly, okay? I'm going to see if there's anyone out there." He murmured, casually gesturing with a nod in the direction of the window.

"S- sure." I squeaked, stepping back, doing as he directed.

Jimin's long legs crossed the room towards the window in three strides. He paused, pressing his back against the wall as he held the revolver at attention, parallel to his cheek.

"Gone." He huffed out a sigh of relief.

I looked at him knowingly when we heard a soft "pew" sound. Yoongi sure was fast, he nabbed the intruder and was probably dragging him off to the station now.

"You'll be safe here. I'll send someone over to keep you company. Everyone's either at Jin hyung's house or they were on patrol with Yoongi hyung while we had our date tonight. So, I'm sure the hyungs will agree with me in sending one of the others to stay with you."

He was referring to Jungkook's stay at Jin's house. I'm sure the rest of my fiances were helping Yoongi or were busy at the office.
It was only half past nine in the night. Some of them worked over time and later took the time off.

I nodded compliantly with my fiance. It was a bit of a turn on seeing Jimin like this, but I couldn't keep him from his duties.

"I love you, my Princess." He kissed my forehead and then was gone like the wind.
Within seconds, I heard the lock to the back door as it clicked shut and sighed to myself.

'It's been one exciting night... I'm exhausted.'

Just then, my tummy growled out loud.
'Might as well figure out what I can cook for everyone.' I shrugged.

The guys would probably be hungry when they eventually return home. I padded over to the kitchen and began preparing ingredients for a heart warming stew I knew they all loved.

~~~♡♡♡~~~

After about an hour, I received a text from Tae.

He'd been missing me and he's coming over!

I switched the stove off, the quick fix stew I made was ready - it was a shortened recipe of my own invention, but it still retained all the succulent flavours - and cooked in half the time!

I wrote a little note and stuck it to the fridge, where I knew Yoongi and Hosoek would definitely see it. Then I set out to make myself a little midnight snack and one for my late night visitor as well.

I was about done stirring the contents of my mug when I heard his car pull over in the back yard, he'd used Yoongi's parking for sure!

The door unlocked itself. And in walked the sinfully sexy man that's patiently been waiting to be with me.

Kim Taehyung.

His footsteps were certain, he paused behind me, blocking my eyes like he used to when we were in highschool.

"Guess who?" He breathed in my ear.

"Hmm.... Santa Claus?" I giggled.

"Oh, you can definitely unwrap me, baby." He drawled in my ear.

Fuck.

How does he do that?

And he smells so good! Like leather and cloves.

I buried my nose in his chest shamelessly.

Carpe diem my friends.

"Haneul." Tae whispered my name as he held me tight in his arms.
"Mmm...?" I hummed in bliss. It felt so good to be held by him.

"Is there anywhere you want to go?" He smiled at me.
His eyes seemed a little mischievous but I can tell he meant well.

...

Tae kissed me like he's been starving. I guess he had the short end of the stick with everyone else meeting me almost every day.

His lips were soft and so very warm. He groaned as we deepened the kiss, a primal sort of growl at the back of his throat that had instantly turned me on.

"You taste like chocolate." He whispered to me between kisses, brushing a strand of hair behind my ear.
I felt myself blushing under all the attention he gave me.

I felt loved and cherished in his arms. It is a wonderful feeling to be held by him. He is so regal and yet he melts my panties in a heartbeat with his velvety voice and passionate kisses.

I love him so much.

~~~♡♡♡~~~

Taehyung's POV

Haneul's small hands helped me shrug off my leather jacket in between our sloppy, impatient kisses.
I could tell she wanted me as much as I wanted her.

I've waited for this, for her, for years.

It was almost as if I were dreaming. Only the tiny stings of pleasure on my neck and parts of my chest told me otherwise.

We made quick work of removing each other's t-shirts. Her black lace bra teased me, I could see her nipples poking through, begging me to tend to them.
My fingers fiddled with the clasp behind her and she giggled when a smirk spread across my lips as I tossed it over my shoulder and bent over her once more.

My lips felt like a magnet drawn to her body. I kissed her with more vigour, trailing my lips down her jawline and neck. I licked the crook of her neck, making her shiver and sigh, then made my way to trail kisses over her breasts and her tummy.

Haneul was a moaning mess. But she had her own little ideas too.

She straddled my hips, by now we were lying on her bed, the two of us unable to wait much longer.

Haneul hadn't answered me when I asked earlier, but I guessed that she was home alone. The hyungs were out completing some work at the office or solving a case they needed to present at a court.
'I just hope they don't return to find us in bed together. Because that would be hard to explain.'

But on the other hand, I also didn't care if Yoongi hyung walked in on us. I've waited my turn, and we're going on a date tomorrow.

'I need her now. I can't hold back any more.'

A part of me was taken aback at how bold I felt.

I've waited years to kiss my woman. Years to hold her the way I wanted to.

'Tonight, I'm going to make her mine.'

'One kiss at a time.'

~~~♡♡♡~~~

Jimin's POV

Haneul wanted me to stay with her.

It killed me to leave her behind. Instead, I sent Tae to her. He was due to take her out tomorrow in any case.

Besides, we couldn't leave our fiancée home alone, while we worked on solving a case.

That trigger word Halmoni left us sure did the trick!

Jungkook was searching for clues on something Yoongi hyung assigned him to.
Jin hyung was catching up with his clients.
Namjoon hyung and Hobi hyung were helping Yoongi hyung and I to catch the prat that interrupted my date with Haneul.

~~~♡♡♡~~~

Haneul's POV

"Tae..." His name was the only thing I remembered while he teased my folds with his sinful tongue.

I felt like I had unfurled wings and flew all the way up to Heaven's door, almost about to see the light. My eyes were closed shut, my head rolled back in ecstasy. Tae licked me, sending frissons of pleasure radiating through my core.
His long, talented fingers worked their way in-between my folds, doubling my pleasure.

The man knew what he was doing to me, and he was enjoying it.

A broad, mischievous, boxy grin spread across his handsome face, his chin smeared with my cum as he watched me reach my climax, his fingers slowly torturing my clit, massaging circles around it as I moaned gripping fistfuls of the sheets beneath us.

"Ahh.. Tae. You know how to tease." I panted, glancing up at him through my lashes.
He covered my body with his own. The feel of his skin on mine was new, and yet addictive.

"You drive me insane for you, so I'm making the most of my time alone with you, Haneul." He whispered in my ear, pressing a soft kiss to my lips.

Then, Tae nudged my thighs apart once more, gently easing his dick into me. A low, husky purr escaped my lips as he reached his full length, now completely inside me.
I can only describe the feeling as "complete".

Slowly, Tae rocked back and forth into me, the two of us moaning together in harmony. I couldn't look away from him, his eyes were captivating and the more I looked into them, the more comforted I felt.

It was an intimacy I've never thought possible.

After reaching my second climax, panting as he pulled out of me, Tae and I had fallen asleep, exhausted with the activities of the night.

Around three o'clock in the morning, he coaxed me into the bathroom, where we showered together and threw on the first items of clothing we found. I grabbed his t-shirt and he found his jeans.

Then, he pulled me close to him, my head resting on his bare chest and we dosed off once more.

~~~♡♡♡~~~

Taehyung's POV

October 19th

'Right... You can do this Tae.' I coaxed myself as I paced the rows of tables inside Café de Bleu.

I'm nervous.

Even though Haneul and I had spent the night together last night, I still felt nervous about proposing to her.

'I know she'll like her ring. It was of course, designed by her. I just hope she'll recall it.'

I didn't expect my father's brother to make the ring this quickly! He's an expert at his trade and I see why no one can touch him! My Jageunappa and his team had worked throughout the night to ensure my fiancée received the ring this evening.

Of course it was worth it. Haneul is the love of my life. I've vowed to marry her when we were still in high school. And today, it becomes a reality.

Well... I'm finally proposing with the ring.

Presently, my fianceé was hiding - I mean finishing up her shift while I waited out here for her.

Haneul was absolutely adorable! She'd been blushing all day, according to Seojin hyung.

He, of course, had teased me about the marks he spied on my neck, barely visible above the crisp white shirt I wore with a black trousers.

I thanked my lucky stars that the waistcoat covered some of the other marks.

I threw the coat over a chair about fifteen minutes ago, feeling my pulse quicken, working my mind into a blizzard of anxiety. The black oxfords I wore had clicked across the tiled floor as I paced between the tables in the café.

"Kim Taehyung... The man of the hour! Why don't you have a seat, or you'll wear a tunnel into the floors!" Hyung cheerfully teased me.

"Sorry hyung, where's Haneul?" I paused at the front counter where my fianceé's handmade pink and blue coloured confections were neatly lined up for sale.

Haneul will continue as a partner with Seojin hyung - supplying the popular confections at his café, but her bakery will be closer to my home.

'All the better to sneak into the pantry with her and...' I had to smack that thought out of my head before my dick decided to announce himself in public.

"Have some patience, Romeo. Then again, I don't see why you're so worked up! Going by those marks, you clearly didn't fall in the shower and hurt your neck this morning." Seojin hyung winked at me, chuckling at my current situation.

I felt my face flush red with embarrassment.
'Ssi-bal... The man has the eyes of a hawk and the mind of a Moriarty.' I rolled my eyes.

'But, he is technically my brother in law.' I shrugged.

"You're one to judge, hyung. How many children do you have?" I grinned at him.

"Well played. Okay Tae, just try to relax! She'll be out in a minute- Ahh! There she is!" Hyung grinned broadly at my fianceé.

"Tae..." Haneul walked out from the back room, her eyes meeting mine, a scarlet blush colouring her beautiful face.

Scarlet, like the silk dress she wore.

Time froze. Our eyes were having a conversation only we could understand.

She looked so beautiful as we stood here, in this moment.

~~~♡♡♡~~~

Jungkook's POV

I can't believe how quickly time passed us by.

It was only just yesterday when we all met Haneul - the first time around.

Back when Haneul had two pigtails and used to ask me for my old school books. We used to study together in the library.

Jimin hyung and Taehyung hyung used to join us in the library on most days. But, those shared moments were equally precious.

Haneul has grown into a mature, successful and very beautiful young woman. At twenty one years old, my fianceé now owns her own bakery.

Though she doesn't know it yet, Jimin hyung and Taehyung hyung had secretly arranged with all seven of us to have the money paid back to Lira - we want to gift her the bakery, loan free as part of our wedding present to her.

But some of the hyungs are debating on whether to go ahead with the plan or not. After all, we don't want to upset or offend our future wife.

It's meant to be her own venture.

But we can't sit back and watch her toil away to pay back that horrid woman. We know Lira well, having worked with her for years.
She often invested in start-ups, only to find a way to claim ownership over the business, either by hook or by crook.

We couldn't allow her to do that to our Haneul. Our wife can't be mixed in this.

Because we were piecing together a case. The case of Eric and Lira. A scandal that has taken the country by storm.

I need to plan for my date with Haneul. It's so hard holding back from her.

There's just six days left. And I'm getting much closer to solving this case.

There's so much to do and so little time to get it done. Yoongi hyung assured me that all will work out according to plan.

I just hope that Haneul likes what I have planned for our date tomorrow.

~~~♡♡♡~~~

Haneul's POV

He looks so handsome!

I spent the last half an hour hiding in the back - I had dressed myself in the silk dress he had delivered to me earlier today, which was accompanied by a bouquet of red roses and a box of expensive chocolates.

The man even sent me shoes to match the dress!

'How did he know that I had gold heels that would go with this dress? And who told him where I kept these things?'

I've already given up on how they know my dress size!

I read and re-read his note, stifling a shy girly scream. He's so romantic, I felt star struck.

'Taehyung.'

'My Taehyung!'
I sighed on a loop for the last six hours.

My cousin helped me tie my hair into an elegant knot that suited the dress, while one of the other girls helped me dab on a light coat of makeup.

~~~♡♡♡~~~

After spending the night together, I couldn't help but blush even more around Taehyung this morning.

We were alone - the others hadn't returned until after Tae dropped me off at work.

Now, standing here, he has me wincing as my panties soak through just by seeing how good he looks in that three piece suit!

I shivered as he strode forwards, confidence rolling off him in waves. He is sexy and yet everything we have is so pure.

Without hesitation, he gracefully gets down on one knee, stealing my breath away.

I know that each of them have planned their own special ways to ask me to marry them. But what Taehyung did was beyond my wildest dreams.

Because the ring he held out to me, did not exist outside of my notebook!

~~~♡♡♡~~~

Flashback

"Haneul, what are you so busy sketching in that notebook? We should be studying for our final exams, pabo!'

"Shhh! Do you want the librarian to kick us out again?!"

"Then show me what you're sketching!" He began to raise his voice, a broad boxy grin on his annoyingly handsome face.

I covered his mouth with my palm to shut him up, glaring daggers at my friend. He was so lovable and yet so annoying at the same time.

The librarian hated me.

According to her, I am a rich bratty little girl with a string of boys running after her and I use her library as my rendezvous for my string of lovers, disturbing her precious hardworking students.

Pssht. As if. I think Mochi, Tae, Jk and I are more innocent than her niece who shacks up with my cousin behind the history shelves.

But to her, that's innocent 'puppy love'. Two faced bitch.

"Okay, as long as you keep your voice down Tae! You're so loud." I rolled my eyes at him.

"Oh baby, one day, you're going to be the loud one." He whispered in my ear, sending a shiver down my spine.

I did my best to ignore him, we were still in school! He's only nineteen! He has his whole career ahead of him - and so do I!

'What is wrong with teenage boys!' I wondered. But a part of me liked that he imagined himself with me.

"This is what I was drawing. I'm taking a break from trigonometry. I hate it!" I whispered to Tae.

"But Haneul, you need trig for a lot of the things you want to study when you get older- Wow! That's beautiful." He gasped when he saw the ring I sketched.

It was a diamond encrusted ring with petals set neatly on the top, a little diamond nestled in the centre.

It was my dream wedding ring. A sketch I was working on for my art portfolio.

"Thanks. One day, when I get married, I'm going to show my future husband this and ask for it to be made into my wedding ring." I smiled at him innocently.

"I'll make it for you." He answered plainly. A sense of finality to his tone.

"But you'd have to marry me then." I giggled, blushing at his words.

"I will. Just wait and see Haneul." He grinned at me.

After some time, my sketch had gone missing, not thinking much of it, I just assumed I lost the page as I moved into Appa's house after my parents' death.

~~~♡♡♡~~~

Taehyung's POV

"That- that ring..." Haneul stammered, she looked at me in surprise. "It's like my sketch."

"Yes, I, er, I took the drawing to have this made." I smiled, feeling a bit shy now that the moment was finally here.

I meant to have proposed at the restaurant we were headed to. But, when I saw her emerge from the back room, wearing the dress I picked for her, I couldn't help myself. My legs worked of their own afford, walking towards her.

I pulled out the ring and bend down on one knee.

"Will you marry me, Haneul?" I looked into her eyes and waited for her answer.

Of course I know that we both wanted this, but it was nerve-wracking nonetheless.

"Yes!" She breathed, covering her mouth with the palm of her hand.

I straightened up and took her outstretched hand in mine, gently fitting the ring onto her ring finger.

"I'm so happy we get to be together. And I told you, you'd be loud." I whispered in her ear.

I knew she remembered, because a light pink blush coloured her cheeks.

"I love you, Taehyung." She whispered to me, then wrapped her arms around me.
"I love you too." I pressed a soft kiss to her lips.

It was tempting to kiss my fianceé, properly. But I knew there were other people around.

Seojin hyung and the few staff that were still at the café applauded.
We hastily let go of each other, realising that we were still at the café.

Saying goodbye to Seojin hyung, we escaped the café, hand in hand.
