Chapter Twenty-Four

February 2017

Namjoon could feel his bulge straining against the fabric of his sweats. It did not help when she started slightly grind against it. He knew she felt it, there was no way she couldn't. Suddenly he remembered and had to force himself to stop kissing her.

"Wait, Mika" he said pushing her away slightly and looking right at her "You have a boyfriend."
"Evan? We split up 2 months ago." She said
"I didn't know." He said confused

'Oh fuck' she thought feeling that horrible burning pit in her stomach of embarrassment, that she had made a fool of herself throwing herself at him, beginning to lift herself off him. He suddenly smiled and pulled her back down, kissing her passionately.

"You have no idea how fucking happy I am to hear that." He smiled into the kiss and she felt relief wash over her
"Wait did you actually think I was about to cheat on someone with you?" she asked pulling away from his lips
"N-no, I know you wouldn't do s-s-something like that." He stuttered before she began laughing
"I am messing with you." She giggled grabbing the back of his head, her lips crashing back on his

They continued to kiss each other, hands everywhere, soft moans escaping from their mouths. He didn't want her to do something she'd regret, or he to do something that would cause her to disappear again. Nor did he want this to be a one-time thing. He thought his feelings for her had lessened over the years but seeing her today, speaking to her, being so close to her, her lips on his, her familiar scent around him again made him realise he still loved her just as much today as he did 2 years ago.

"I don't want us to do this here and I don't want us to do something we will regret. Don't get me wrong, I want you so much right now, but I think we need to slow down." He said pulling away from her kiss
"I can definitely feel that you want to." She said raising an eyebrow at him slighty rocking her hips causing him blush as she lifted herself off him and sat cross legged beside him "I agree though. Sorry for jumping you like that."
"No, I loved it. I have to be honest with you, I want you to do that again, but I just don't want this to be a onetime thing, I still really like you." He said
"I still really like you too." She said leaning forwards to kiss him

He pulled her into his arms, laying them both down together on the sofa. She wrapped her arms around his body and held onto him tightly. She had missed this so much. He still smelled the same.

"I have really missed you Joonie. I am sorry I was such a bitch to you." She said softly
"When were you a bitch to me?" He asked playing with her hair
"When I said we could be friends then I ignored your calls and texts." She replied
"I understand why you did it though. I Almost Do explained it." He said gently
"I can't say hello to you and risk another goodbye." she whispered as he nodded "There was a couple of songs on there about you, about us actually."

As she thought of the meaning behind the song, the awful way she had handled things with Namjoon and with Taehyung tears began to fill her eyes. She didn't deserve to be lying in his arms right now. He held her tighter as he heard her sniff softly, kissing the top of her head.

"I should have just text you with the truth instead of ignoring you, but I really did think I could go back to just friends again. It was when you first called that I couldn't bring myself to answer the call and hear your voice. It was easier to ignore, say to myself I would call you back later, that I was busy, but I was a coward." she replied
"You weren't a coward; you could never be a coward. You are the strongest woman I've ever met. You were dealing with it as best as you could." He whispered
"You were special to me, you still are. I regret never telling you just how special you were, how much I liked you." She replied
"So, where does that leave us now?" he asked nervously
"I can't speak for you, but I feel there is still something here between us. Can we just explore it and see where it goes?" she replied
"That sounds perfect." he smiled placing her hand under her chin to tilt her head up so he could lean down and kiss her gently, "And so you know I can feel something between us too."

Mika and Namjoon had talked a lot, well talking in between heavy kissing sessions and maybe a bit of over the clothes touching too. It didn't feel like much time had passed when there was a knock at the door. Namjoon unlocked it to see Yoongi.

"Everything ok?" He asked looking at Namjoon
"Yeah, we were just having a talk about stuff." He replied
"Good. Mika your sisters about to lose her shit I think. We've been trying to keep her busy when she noticed you two were missing but Jungkooks cuteness isn't going to distract her much longer." Yoongi said
"Fuck sake, sorry Yoongi. We better go back before Demon Sara comes out." She replied making both Namjoon and Yoongi look at one another

She quickly fixed her hair since Namjoons fingers had messed it up. Mika dreaded to think what Yoongi thought they had been up to because of the state her hair was in and the fact both their lips were red and swollen from all the kissing. Mika loved that he still wrapped her hair around his fingers when he kissed her. The three of them walked back to the shared dressing room. Namjoon slid an arm around her waist and stopped them just as they reached the door. He placed a gentle kiss on her lips and touched her face. Yoongi awkwardly looked away from them, trying to give them privacy.

"I just wanted to do that before we go back in and have to stay away from one another." He whispered
"Can I see you tonight at your hotel?" Mika asked gently touching his face
"Of course." He replied
"Give me your phone." She said

He unlocked it and handed her in, she put her number into his contacts and gave it back telling him to text her with the details. She kissed him once more, it was soft and gentle yet passionate too. His fingers ran through her hair again, not wanting to let her go but she stepped back and let go of his hands. His heart longed to reach back out for her, pull her into his arms, run away with her to somewhere no one would find them and never ever let her go again.

A/N: A shorter than usual chapter. It was originally just over the 2000 word count but I felt it was too long for a single chapter so I decided to split it up into 2 chapters instead.
