Until You | Kim Seokjin ✔️

Chapter 40

Yoona's POV

"Yoona! You need to stop doing that creepy smile thing of yours! It's been two days!" Jihee said, snapping her fingers in front of my face, bringing me out of my thoughts.

"I don't know what you are talking about," I said, as another smile spread on my face thinking about Jin.

I blushed thinking about how I had initiated the kiss. It was nothing like I had anticipated because it was nothing like the kiss we had shared all those years back. That kiss had been hesitant, a testing-the-waters kind of kiss. This one had been more of claiming possession. It had started out as a gentle, almost careful kiss but soon became something so passionate that we forgot where we were. 

Five years is a long time to make up for but it seemed like that's what we were going for until I heard a faint sound. I ignored it the first time, well mostly because Jin was doing things to my neck that made me disregard anything but him. On hearing it a second time, I knew that I wasn't imagining it. 

I don't think I have ever been more embarrassed than the moment I found out that it was Namjoon who had taken a picture of Jin and me. I quickly scribbled a note on the notepad lying on the table and ran out of there before Jin could come back. 

"He's that good of a kisser?" Jihee asked. 

"Yeah.." I sighed dreamily. 

"Wait, what? Jin kissed you? I was just saying random stuff to see if you were paying attention to me!" Jihee asked shaking me out of my haze.  

I slapped my forehead as I realized what I had just agreed to. Jin wasn't Jihee's most favourite person at the moment and I didn't know how to tell her what had happened without getting yelled at. 

"I know you don't like him and I know that it's because of me. Please don't yell at me!" I begged.

Jihee sighed taking away the cushion I was hiding behind. "I don't like him because he hurt you. I don't want you to feel like you have to hide stuff from me because I would yell at you. I am just looking out for you! No one would be happier than me to see you happy! You didn't tell me all those years back and now you are doing it again."

I jumped at Jihee and smothered into a hug. "I am so sorry! I never meant to hurt you! I trust you the most and you know that!" 

"Can't.. breathe! Get.. off!" Jihee managed to push me away slightly but I just adjusted myself, still hugging her, refusing to let go. 

"It's just that when it comes to Jin, I am afraid that you'll be right..." I said, voicing my fears. 

"Yoona, Jin is the one man I hope I am wrong about!" 

'What?" I quickly sat up.

"When I say that I don't like Jin, more than him as a person, I don't like what he did. But when he apologized and gave you space without forcing you to forgive him, I realized that he's a good person at heart who did something stupid. We have all done stupid things in life, I wouldn't like it if someone held what I did and judged me for the rest of my life because of that one thing. So I figured Jin deserved a chance too. I also know how much you like him. One little kiss from him and you are glowing like the freaking sun." 

"Little kiss, sure." I blushed, my mind wandering back to Jin. 

"Yoona! Snap out of it! Jihee said exasperatedly. "So back to the point. Knowing you, you are probably unsure about pursuing things with Jin but I think you should see where it goes. You clearly haven't stopped liking him and he hasn't stopped either. You could say that the two of you just lost your way and now you are slowly finding it back." 

"You heard 'Awake', didn't you? Look at you supporting Jin!" I teased Jihee but at the same time, I was relieved that Jihee could see what I saw in Jin. 

In the month away from Jin, I would often think that I was starting to forgive him too soon or blame myself for not being strong and giving into him so easily. But deep down, I also knew that I was right in trusting Jin. Hearing Jihee telling me that it was okay for me to feel the way I do, lifted off the burden I had been carrying since the day I accepted the fact that I liked Jin, now much more than I had five years ago. 

"Well, I can't deny the fact that the boy has a good set of lungs on him," Jihee laughed.

"The best set of lungs!" I said, grinning like an idiot. 

"Seriously?" Jihee, questioning me and my sanity.

"I'm just kidding!" I wasn't. 

"Oh, by the way, do you know what's going on with Jin leaving BTS?" 

I can't believe that I completely forgot about that!

"You didn't ask him?!" Jihee asked seeing my shocked expression. 

"I did! But we kind of got distracted..." I said sheepishly. 

"I can't believe you! At least call him now and ask him!" Jihee said getting off the couch to answer the door. 

"W-what are you doing here?" Jihee asked, shocked to see the person standing at the door. 

"I am not here to meet you, where's Yoona?" The person replied

I got up from the couch to see who was looking for me.

Yoongi?
