Can I Come Over? (JJK FF)

Chapter 8 - "Come Back Home...With Me!"

DISCLAIMER: This chapter contains talks about miscarriage and religious trauma. 

It was a long day at school and Nat was exhausted. All she wanted to do was to take a nice hot shower and jump into bed. Soon after Nat finished showering, the doorbell rang.

Nat tied her bathrobe and look through the peephole of the front door.

"Tyler?"Nat choked

Nat unlock her bolt locks and opened the door. A tall, lean young man dressed in a white buttoned-up shirt and black dress pants and shoes entered in. Nat glanced at his paired blazer and a watchtower that he was holding. His dark brown hair was freshly faded, his deep golden skin glowed and his smile and hazel eyes still glistened with that gentle charm that Nat once remember. Nat always thought Tyler was attractive on the fact most of the young women in the Hall had a crush on him. They were definitely bitter when they found out that the two were dating.

"Hey Natalie," smiled Tyler

"Hey, what brings you here on the other side of the world?" Nat queried

"I'm companying Elder Daniel to a convention here," replied Tyler

"Oh cool, did you want to come? "Nat invited 

"Sure, I have some time," said Tyler taking off his dress shoes

"Just give me a quick moment, I need to get dressed," Nat explained running back to the bathroom

Tyler had a seat on Nat's computer chair at her desk near her bed. He glanced over the desk and saw piles of paper, notebooks, and textbooks. He saw a black leather bonded sketchbook that he gave her. He grinned at the sight of it and reminiscing the times that he would always encourage her to pursue it:

"Nat, you are really good artist!"

"I'm okay,"

"No, you are really good at! When we get our place, I'll set a studio just for you. That's a gift that Jehovah gave you! Don't let it go to waste,"

"Thank you."

Tyler still cherish that smile from Nat. In moments like that were the moments that Tyler fell more and more in love with her. His walk down memory lane came to halt when he caught a glimpse of a pack of birth control pills half full.

"Sorry for the mess, I was not expecting anyone today,"said Nat heading towards the kitchen.

"Would you like some to drink?"

"Sure,"replied Tyler

Nat opened her tiny fridge and grab to cans of soda from the top shelf. She hand over one can to Tyler and proceed to sit down on the edge of her bed.

"How have you been?"asked Nat

"Good! I'm training to become an elder. Actually I'm training underneath your dad,"explained Tyler

"Woah, how's that going?"chuckled Nat

"Not so bad. Your dad misses you a lot. He talks about you all the time,"said Tyler

"Oh that right," Nat smirked rubbing the sides of her pop can

"It's true, a lot of people from the hall miss you and wondering if you are attending meetings here in Seoul, I can set up a study with Sister Eunhee, she's fluent in English. Why don't you come to convention-"

"Tyler,"Nat said softly

"Sorry,"Tyler apologized

The two past lovers sat in silence for a moment. Tyler leaned forward in the chair. He glanced up at Nat before taking a deep inhale.

"I miss you, Nat..I'm still in love with you," Tyler said

Nat looked up at Tyler and gave an another gentle smile. " I know you do,"

"Then come back home..with me,"said Tyler

Nat sighed. "Tyler, I can't and I don't want to."

"Is that why you're taking birth control now? So you won't make the same mistake again."Tyler retorted

Before Nat can get a word in, her door bell rang. Nat got up from her bed to check who was outside her door. She looked through the peephole. Her eyes widened. She unlocked the door for her second guest.

"Hey,"smiled Jungkook pulling down his black mask
