The Show Must Go On [Trickster x Reader] *DISCONTINUED*

♡Chapter Nine♡

[Y/N] fluttered open their eyes, grogilly sitting up straight with a soft yawn. She must have drifted off to sleep beside Ji-Woon, he still lay motionless, silent. [Y/N] reached a hand out to stroke his hair a warm smile on her lips, regardless she still felt guilty. The girl felt heavily responsible for what had happened, the injuries Ji-Woon had were all her fault, now she didn't know if he would even wake up because of all the damage his body had received. Tangling her fingers between the killers purple locks, she swore Ji-Woon moved ever so slightly.

"Ji-Woon?" [Y/N] addressed. "Are you awake?" The killer moved again a little bit before yellow irises were gazing up at [E/C] ones.

"[Y/N]?" Ji-Woon spoke quietly, his voice sounding coarse. He sat up slowly with a painful growl, noticing the bandages wrapped around his body and arms.

"I'm so glad you're awake!" [Y/N] wrapped her arms around his neck, hugging him, placing his head to her chest. "I was- I was so worried about you Ji-Woon! Please forgive me!" The girls eyes brimmed with tears, holding Ji-Woons head even tighter to her chest.

"A-Angel..." He replied, a blush creeping on to his cheeks. Ji-Woon felt strange having been given so much affection and care, but he found himself liking it; snuggling further against her body. "Don't apologise my darling he's gone now right? You have nothing to be afraid of anymore."

"But look at you!" She retorted, pulling back away from him and placing a hand on his bandaged chest.
"You got hurt because of me." Ji-Woon shook his head proceeding to lean forward, kissing the girl to keep her quiet.

"No Angel I got hurt because I was protecting you!" The Korean smiled.
"And now that bastard is gone! I have you all to myself again, darling!" Ji-Woon wrapped his arms around the girls waist, the two of them becoming more entangled.

"You should um.. Get some rest Ji-Woon, you're still healing you kn-"
[Y/N] was suddenly thrown onto her back with Ji-Woon towering over her,
a little yelp escaped her lips.

"You're all I need darling.. Let me touch you just a little bit, okay?" He smirked down at the now red faced girl, grazing a thumb over her cheek.

"I-I guess you can." [Y/N] flicked her eyes to the side, feeling the killers hand brush up her leg and then to her thigh, gently rubbing circles.

"Don't worry Angel you can make those noises I love oh so much..."
Ji-Woon kissed [Y/N's] neck softly hearing the girl whine and moan, the other couldn't help but giggle lowly.

After Ji-Woon got what he wanted from the girl the two of them headed out, as Ji-Woon had something he wanted to show the girl deep in the woods. He told her that it would make her incredibly happy and make up for all the injuries he had sustained, [Y/N] begrudgingly agreed to go along with it. More time passed by as Ji-Woon led [Y/N] through the woods proceeding into a clearing that showed a beautiful blue lake, different coloured flowers dotted around it, even a few fireflies were gently floating about.
Altogether it was an incredible sight to see [Y/N] was lost for words, [E/C] eyes flickering at everything they possibly could, drinking the magnificent view in. Ji-Woon who stood beside her watched as the girl looked on in awe, he felt a knot begin to form in his stomach from seeing her; something he had never felt in his life before.

"Ji-Woon this is..." [Y/N] trailed off her words stepping forward towards the water, bending down and dipping her hand in to see if it was real. "This is all so amazing, I can't believe what I'm seeing." The girl stands back up turning to face Ji-Woon, who looked back at her with the softest expression she'd seen from him.

"Worth the wait then, darling?" Ji-Woon chuckled, taking hold of her hands in his with a smile. [Y/N] leaned up to kiss his lips sweetly, before moving back to flash a toothy smile.

"Thank you so much Ji-Woon, I love this so much. Let's stay here awhile!"
[Y/N] sat down by the water with Ji-Woon doing the same beside her.

"We can always go for a swim Angel, I always love seeing that sweet body of yours." Ji-Woon winked cheekily, sticking his tongue out. [Y/N] flushed red imagining the various acts that would take place in the water.

"We uh- We can't do that Ji-Woon... You still have all your bandages and still healing from all those wounds."

"Aw I was looking forward to seeing your body all wet and shiny... " Ji-Woon pouted, watching as the others face grew even redder.

"Y-You need to watch what you say sometimes Ji-Woon..." [Y/N] brushed a strand of hair from her face, eyes fixated on the firefiles dancing under the trees. Ji-Woon gazed onwards at the girl smiling to himself, that knot in his stomach appearing again.

"Agh.. Damn it that hurts." The killer mumbled clutching his stomach, he took off his jacket to get a better look at his torso. The bandages were covered in dried blood, but still fresh enough to continue wearing.

"What's wrong? Is your wound hurting?" [Y/N] leaned over to get a closer look at his body, Ji-Woon moved back ever so slightly.

"I'm fine Angel.. I- My stomach keeps aching I don't know why... It's when I see you smile or um.." Ji-Woon stopped talking when he realised what he was saying, it wasn't like him at all to be saying such soft things.
[Y/N] poured her eyes into his sharp yellow ones noticing the faint blush dusted on his cheeks, a hand rose to caress his right cheek; her other hand placed on the grass below to keep her up.

♡♧♡♧♡

Ji-Woon didn't know what was going on with him he'd never been this soft and mushy before, not even before the entity had taken him. So why all of a sudden was this girl bringing all these new things out of him, it confused him yet... He wasn't mad, he didn't dislike it in fact he found himself loving it. [Y/N] was truly incredible and she was all his to keep, to love and cherish, to protect. He pondered if she felt the same things he was feeling, that would make him feel a little less vulnerable and nervous, he didn't want to be the only one experiencing all of this.

"Ji-Woon?" [Y/N] addressed, snapping him out of his intruding thoughts.

"Y-Yes my Angel?" He anxiously replies, hoping he wasn't being too out of character. [Y/N] swept her hand through his hair, loving the way it felt between her fingers.

"Can we... You know." [Y/N] blushed at what she just insinuated, but remained somewhat confident.
"I think it would uh- Be romantic."

"Of course Darling... I'd love to."
[Y/N] pushed him back onto the grass, being extremely careful of all his wounds. She straddled his hips leaning down to place her forehead against his, a soft exhale escaping her lips. Their fingers found eachother and interlaced together tightly.

"I love you, Ji-Woon." She spoke barely above a whisper, fluttering her eyes shut. Ji-Woon closed his eyes too, breathing in her scent, his heartbeat steadily increasing; that familair knot starting once again.

"I love you too, [Y/N]."

Wooooo it's been a while! I hope this fluff filled chapter was worth the long wait, thank you all for being so patient and understanding! Sorry if Ji-Woon seems a little out of character,
it's getting to the stage in the story where he's realizing these more deep, complex feelings for the reader. Anyway I'm not quite back completely updates will still be quite slow, as I'm busy in real life but also working on two other new books! Keep an eye out for those when I release them... With that all said have a lovely night all ❤
