The questionable atmosphere greeted Beomgyu once he stepped out of his office, closing the door behind him as he began his journey downstairs to see you for your sudden request. His eyes scanned the room with a crumpled forehead when he saw you and Yujun just having a regular conversation. Already done with dinner for you to let loose and to have an exchange of words with your best friend.
“Y/n” Beomgyu said, putting both of his hands inside his pockets as he watched the way you turned around and looked at him, he didn’t know why but his eyes lingered longer at your pale pink lips that looked like tinted roses, he just knows that it’s soft. Then your lips spread into an enchanting smile until your perfect white teeth appeared.
“Beomgyu you’re here… The reason that I asked to see you might be a little useless… well, for me at least” You quipped, remembering the conversation you had with the girl beside you after asking the real reason why she visited the two of you.
“Go on?” He continued, letting both of his hands free from his pockets and for them to just rest on top of the sofa, the sleeves of his sweater were rolled up to his elbows, flexing his forearm. Your eyes slightly widen by his bold move on you, faking a cough you eyed Yujun to start shooting.
“Yah! Choi Beomgyu!” The two of you jumped slightly by her sudden loudness, Beomgyu’s widened eyes met your face almost like he’s asking for your help, giving him hints or something.
After hearing Beomgyu say something earlier, the three of you are now at a guest room somewhere around the big mansion that you currently live in with your husband, on the way here you didn’t even know this part of the house or maybe you just forgot about it because Beomgyu did give you a tour.
The two of you are now sitting on the edge of the king-sized bed, presents on hand from your wedding with Yujun happily watching, almost like she’s analyzing your every move. Making sure that you are really opening her gift to you.
“I don’t get why this is such a big deal..” You blurted out, opening the wedding present that is from your best friend, her smile widened when she caught sight of the gift that she heavily picked out for the two of you, her attention was quickly pulled by Beomgyu when he fully unwrapped his own present. There sitting on his palms are custom made cufflinks, both of your initials molded with silverware, it would go with every suit that he would choose to wear to work. He ended up staring at it for some time, until a grin slowly began to appear on his lips.
“Thanks, I’ll use it” Yujun clapped both of her hands with her success of picking out a gift to give him. She had a hard time at first knowing that he already would have everything, but the cufflinks with your initials along with him surely did the work.
“Your turn” Beomgyu exclaimed, setting his gift to the side as he turned his body for him to completely face you, his eyes never once leaving the way your hands messily unwrapped your own present from Yujun.
“What the fuck is this Kim Yujun!?” You raised your voice for the girl to only smile at you mischievously, the gift was a black lingerie set knowing the brand well and it’s from Victoria's Secret.
Getting flustered with the thought of Beomgyu seeing your gift, you didn’t know how to react so you quickly hid the present from him where his eyes would definitely not see it, but you know that it’s too late after hearing the small and heavy chuckle that came from your left ear. It raised all of the hair behind your neck, electrocuting your spine for it to shiver.
“Well… What do you think?” Yujun asked, peeking her nosy self to get a good look of the lingerie hiding beside you.
“I’m not gonna wear this”
“Why not?“ Beomgyu’s seductive voice caught your attention, pressing your lips into a thin line. Completely not expecting him to say something.
“Yeah Y/n, why not? That’s the most expensive one at the store… do you perhaps not like it?” Your best friend pouted, fiddling her fingers with her mind getting occupied with the thoughts of you not liking your present.
You were quick to stop her, putting your hands up in a defensive stance as you shook your head side to side, putting out a forced smile and a rather breathy laugh afterwards.
“It’s not that I don't like it… I’m fine with just wearing some shorts and a simple shirt to bed, but thank you for the gift Yujun '' You explained, a sweet smile spreading on your lips when you met eyes with her. You physically want to hit the girl when you caught her giving Beomgyu two thumbs up, contented with the fact that you didn’t give the lingerie back to her as a simple rejection of you not liking it, but instead you kept it well hidden inside your closet.
The next morning you woke up with such a carefree mind, the bright sunny rays flowed through the windows of the master bedroom, the gray comforter of the bed that you hugged once you sat up. Your mind was at a calm before the storm, sighing, you got up to get the day started and have your usual routine to go to work.
Your ears didn’t seem to work this time around because of the unknown presence inside the bathroom before you came in, it was unlocked so you thought that nobody was inside.
Yawning, you walked your way towards the sink to grab your own toothbrush with a hint of toothpaste on top, now only focused on brushing your teeth. You began to rub the tiredness away from your eyes using your left hand, it was when you realized the presence of someone else inside the bathroom.
You choked out of shock, the task of brushing your teeth coming to an end, the sight beside you from the reflection of the mirror was so shocking, you had to close your eyes with both of your hands to prevent you from seeing more.
Beomgyu stood there beside you, a towel wrapped only around his waist for it is his only clothing at the moment, he was shirtless, his dark locks falling to his forehead for the wet droplets to fall down, the smell of his body wash filling your nostrils to make your insides turn.
“What are you doing?” Beomgyu managed to say, good thing he was already done showering or else another sight to see might happen, he was surprised when he saw the bathroom door open earlier, seeing you with a pout resting on your lips. Your sleepy state that welcomed his morning.
“N-No! What are you doing? Not locking the bathroom door??” You stumbled upon your own words, face heating up you exaggerated your actions, without thinking straight, you hit his chest, it was rock solid, proving the fact that he goes to the gym whenever he has his free time. Your lungs froze as he watched you, you immediately orchestrated a laugh and moved away from him.
“You’re usually asleep during this time in the morning so I don’t see the reason of me locking the door, and if you have the right mind and could hear the water going inside here that means that someone is inside” Beomgyu stated, almost like everythings fine when you watch him give his shoulders a lazy shrug. You gulped hard for the meantime, standing a few feet away from him.
Droplets of water were trickling down from his wet hair down to his collarbone.
“Nevermind- I’m leaving” You declared and headed straight to the door, longing to escape from this suffocating room. “Y/n” You ignored his call, biting down your lip.
“Baby” You abruptly stopped in your tracks, the thumping on your chest will not stop anytime now. When you held your place, he walked over to you and turned you around to face him.
Beomgyu continuously walked closer to you with the result of you backing away slowly, you bumped your back to the sink counter and couldn’t move any further away from him. He placed both arms on the counter, in between you for him to cage you in.
A smug smirk slipped Beomgyu’s lips, licking them moist as his eyes settled down on your face.
“Baby… you like the nickname? huh?”
“Yes” A satisfied laugh soon escaped from the lips of the man in front of you, he just completely played with you!
With a pout of annoyance, you gathered the strength to push his arms away and moved to the side as a quick escape. Beomgyu was surprised at first on how you managed to escape his embrace- was it even an embrace? No, it's a trap. It’s a trap to see how every time you push him away, he pulls you in easily, his eyes that look like it’s drinking you slowly.
“See you downstairs later… ” Beomgyu left off, running a hand through his wet hair as he walked out of the bathroom, closing the door behind him to leave you all alone and do your business. When you heard the closet doors open and close, you locked the bathroom door and almost like your hands knew the situation, they hovered over your chest, where your heart is currently having a marathon to the championships.
When Beomgyu was already finished putting on his suit for work, he walked over to the closet island on his side where the drawers stored his rings and watches, he didn’t realize it at first but ever since he stepped out of the bathroom he can’t seem to wipe off the stupid grin off his face. His mind replayed the image of you being dumbfounded on the spot and turned into a statue, he could hear your heart pounding hard when he locked eyes with you, not to mention the pout on your lips with the red blush that’s apparent on your cheeks, it warmed up his insides.
“Ahh…” Beomgyu clicked his tongue, rolling up his sleeve and putting on his wrist watch.
Setting foot inside the kitchen, chin up with the random confidence that you got when you didn’t look back at the boy eating his breakfast, Beomgyu parted his lips as he stared at you. Your back facing him, whilst you were busy making your cup of morning coffee, his eyes then drifted its attention down at your bandaged finger where you got cut last night, lifting it a little when you began to stir the coffee with a spoon, guessing it’s to avoid the hissing pain by physical contact.
You divert your attention away from your cup, smelling the relaxing aroma of the coffee before giving him a simple nod. The air turned pretty crispy and dry all of the sudden, neither the two of you exchanged a single glance or even exchanged words to each other, that’s until a sound of a phone ringing broke everything.
“That’s mine” You said, finally looking up to see Beomgyu’s eyes already staring back at you, his eyes drifting to your lips, he looked at them for some time before he bit down on his own.
“Oh, Y/n. I just want to inform you that a joint project will happen maybe tomorrow? Or next week and boss said to leave it to your hands”
“Why me?” You asked, pointing at yourself as if he could see it.
“She said that you already have a connection to this company,” Taehyun answered, sounding amused on the other line.
“Do you have any idea who it is?” He finishes.
“Not in the moment..” You begin to think, yes you have connections to some companies but they don’t match the status of QuickSPACE Ad, that you’re currently working in, it’s a company filled with inspiring writers and publishers, social media status is the top tier face of it.
“Alright I’ll leave you to it! See you later” Taehyun’s voice bid goodbye when the line ended, leaving you with your eyebrows furrowed as you stared at the now black screen of your phone.
“What is it?” A voice came out of nowhere, startling you as your gaze got trapped in Beomgyu who happens to be standing right next to you, a glass of water on hand to show that he already finished eating his breakfast.
“A joint project will happen… The dates are not clear yet, and our boss gave me the authority to take care of it” You sighed, looking down at your wrist watch to see the time. Beomgyu took the time to steal a quick glance over his shoulder to look at you, a soft smile resting on his lips, almost like he’s proud.
“You will” He started watching the trees sway side to side by the calming blow of the wind, the leaves falling down from its branch swayed to touch the ground, you turned and looked at him. His eyelashes were long and soft whenever he would bat them down, his rosy and bow lips were wet when he ran his tongue over them.
The observation made you gulp down whatever, cheeks heating up when a random thought suddenly crept up your mind. The last time you touched his lips was weeks ago, the day of your wedding, the day when your lips touched each other with a sloppy kiss. You remembered the way he placed an arm to your waist, pushing you towards him and leaving no space on each of your bodies to lack, you remembered the smile he wore when he pulled away from the kiss. It brought butterflies down your stomach by the memory, you got curious and want to feel them again.
When you entered the main entrance of the building, you immediately saw Taehyun standing near the lobby desk. He carries a fruit shake that’s labeled with your usual combination of flavors. In his arm there was a brown folder and a clear envelope filled with papers, and he carries a black bag for his laptop.
“Are you going somewhere?” You asked with a smile when he gives you the fruit shake without hesitation, almost like he’s been expecting you.
“Yeah, I’ll be at Yeon Technologies” Taehyun answered shortly as he drifted his attention back to the receptionist that’s on the other side of the desk where the two of you stood next to each other.
“Oh? What will you be doing there?” You piped up, taking a sip of your cold drink as you eyed Taehyun to the side, he had his hair down along with him just wearing some simple white button up.
“I’ll be writing down reports to post up the front page”
“That explains the laptop” You sneaked in, pointing the bag beside him.
And then suddenly your phone buzzed somewhere inside your purse, “Taehyun can you hold this for me for a sec?” The boy could only nod his head at you before taking the cup back for you to fetch your phone.
You raised an eyebrow at the text message, a pout forming in your lips as you began to read it quietly inside your mind.
Gyu ❤︎: I can’t pick you up today. I’m gonna be busy until this afternoon, take care.
You didn’t know why but a frown formed in your lips, you suddenly felt sad, already getting used to picking you up from work everyday. Knowing his position as a CEO of his own company, maybe he got caught up with work, you sighed and understood the situation very quickly.
“Beomgyu?” You nearly drop your phone upon hearing his voice, turning the device off as you face Taehyun who seems to be peeking over your shoulder to look at the text message.
“Here, I need to go” Taehyun gave you your fruit shake back as your eyes watched him walk away and leave through the main entrance of the company.
“What’s with him?” You muttered under your breath, the receptionist seemed to hear what you said.
“He’s ten minutes late..” She whispered. Oh?
Time goes by quickly this day as for the afternoon sun to meet his face, Beomgyu adjusted the hood of his hoodie as he wears his headphone to finish the look off. Not forgetting about his mask when he exited his car not wanting to be seen around this part of the city, Beomgyu picked a song to blast through his ears, looking like a college student rather than a businessman. He continued his journey to a two story building, the door that’s welcome for everyone to enter, a married couple, a woman and just a person that’s willing to give another one a chance. Beomgyu’s eyes watched as a couple walked out of the building, happily talking to a little boy that doesn’t look like them for the fact that they adopted him.
The sign looked at him from above when he opened the door. Beomgyu's eyes scanned the open small lobby, not that much to see, but seeing children on the floor with a single piece of paper with boxes of crayons pulled the ends of his lips into a smile inside his mask.
“Oh? Beomgyu what brings you here?” Hueningkai’s voice made him turn around, then his eyes trailed down to his leg where a kid was hugging it like a koala.
“Hey, I just wanted to stop by,” Beomgyu answered, turning the music off his phone as he brought his full attention to his friend standing in front of him.
“Not that much has changed, except little Sungho got adopted earlier” Hueningkai smiled, resting his hand on top of the kid that’s still hugging his leg to give its hair a ruffle.
“I saw” Beomgyu mirrored his smile, he adored his friend Hueningkai for opening an orphanage, he loves the idea of giving young ones another chance to feel what it’s like being loved by their adoptive parents that they didn’t get from their biological ones. Hueningkai has a golden heart that by his laugh alone could stop a child from crying.
“Where are your sisters?”
“Oh, Lea is upstairs helping the girls brush their teeth while Bahiyyih is outside at the playground guarding Eui and Eh-kyung” Nodding his head in response, Beomgyu pulled out his wallet, reaching for his black card but was put a stop by Hueningkai midway.
“No- What are you doing?”
“I’m going to be giving you money to help around here” Beomgyu insisted, walking towards the little table beside the door where he pulled out his black card and showed it to Heningkai, he cannot be stopped when it comes to helping out little children. Sighing Hueningkai took the card and swiped it to the little atm beside him, entering the amount that Beomgyu ordered him to take out.
“Are you going to make this into a public announcement?”
“No… It’s a private donation” Beomgyu answered quickly, not wanting to expand his response because some may say that he’s only wasting his money, especially his parents if they find out. Speaking of his parents, his phone started ringing, startling the both of them from their trance, Beomgyu wore a questioning face when he read the contact of the caller.
“I’m… here at the office, why?” Beomgyu paused when Hueningkai slowly moved out of the picture, giving him the privacy to talk with his father.
“Very well and later tonight you and Y/n will be visiting her parent’s house for dinner” His father straightforwardly said.
“I’m fine with it… but does she know?” Beomgyu asked, taking his card back as he walked towards the door, stopping when he got an answer.
“Not yet and that’s your job to tell her, you’re her husband” He could only sigh from his father’s blunt reply, looking back at the lobby of the orphanage as he waved Hueningkai goodbye before walking through the doors to go home.
“Alright dad, I just need to do something. Goodbye” He didn’t even wait for a reply before ending the call with a simple press of the end button, walking towards his car with the sunset following his every step. Beomgyu figured that he should tell you about the dinner right now to give you time to get ready, but you beat him to it.
Y/n ❤︎: Do you know about the dinner at my parent’s house?
He replied with a simple “Yeah” before his eyes watched the three dots on your side of the text, saying that you’re typing something down.
Y/n ❤︎: Okay.
You don't know why, but the urge to ask him how his day went banged up your heart. But your mind is telling you to stop because you might be bothering him about something by his short reply.
Gyu ❤︎: How did you know about the dinner? I was just about to tell you.
Y/n ❤︎: Siu told me.
And just as Beomgyu’s about to turn his phone off when he’s in the process of opening his side of the car door, his phone started ringing. Expecting it to be his father but it’s just you.
“Shit!” You panicked and slapped your forehead on letting your thumb hover over the call button just as you’re about to turn your phone off, three rings passed and you were about to end the call but to your surprise he picked up.
“Y/n?” Beomgyu’s voice seemed to be a lot deeper through the call, the butterflies inside your stomach started flying everywhere. In the midst of panicking from the unexpected phone call, you began to walk around your office room with such light steps, hand into a ball of fist.
“I-I’m sorry, I accidentally pressed the call button!” You explained, running your hand down to your pencil skirt.
“It’s fine,” He laughed “I’m uh- heading home right now, what about you?”
“Me? Well I was planning on working late, but uh- since a family dinner is happening I’m also heading back home” You picked up your words fairly quick, biting down your lip as you pressed the bottom floor of the elevator where the parking lot is located.
Beomgyu didn’t reply back for a short second before your ears picked up a sound of him using a vehicle horn through the phone.
“Are you driving?” You asked, stopping your tracks on walking towards the parking lot with a hint of concern leaking through your voice.
“Then end the call and just drive! What if you get yourself into an accident?” Beomgyu could only smile at your scolding, having a wife that worries about his safety surely bought a certain bliss inside him.
“Is my baby worried about me? Don’t worry I connected the call to the car”
“So what if I’m worried about you? You’re my husband just- drive safely. I’ll see you later” After that you ended the call with a fast thumping from your chest that echoed on both of your ears, looking at his contact you slowly placed both of your hands in your chest with your phone clutched close to it. Just what are you feeling towards him now?
“Are you nervous?” You teased, nudging Beomgyu’s side as the two of you started walking down the long pathway of your parent’s house to get to the front door.
“I’m not” Beomgyu was quick to defend himself as he watched the front doors open, seeing Siu greeting the two of you with bright eyes and a smile.
“I’m nervous for you” Beomgyu managed to whisper back at you, placing a protective hand over the small of your back when his eyes noticed a figure coming closer to the two of you. It’s giving him a vibe that trouble follows her without context or it’s just her.
Ari stood beside Siu at the grand entrance of the house, she had one hand resting on top of his shoulder as your little brother’s smile slowly faded by it.
Right… It's a family dinner.
“Oh, just in time. Mom and Dad are looking for you little sister and…” Her eyes lingered to you, sharp cat eyes scarring your skin to your bones, then they fixed themselves to Beomgyu. She gave him a seductive smile and her eyes batting open and close like a butterfly wing, you swallowed down the lump in your throat. Your insides turning into a hurricane along with your mind just by it.
“Y/n, let’s go” Beomgyu’s voice calmed your humid mind for just a split second.
“Right…” You replied back quietly, watching as Ari and Siu began walking ahead the two of you towards the dining room.
“You okay?” He asked you, stopping himself from walking so that Beomgyu could place a hand on top of your exposed shoulder from your black off shoulder dress. His cold hand met your warm skin, it electrified you down to the bone, his eyes are not helping either and the way his lips looked so soft from your point of view.
“I’m fine” You reassured him, but Beomgyu took his time to examine your face, you wore simple make-up to this dinner party, your eyeshadow blending in with your gaze along with your rosy cheeks. And he can’t deny the fact that you look beautiful tonight, plus the crystalized stiletto heels that add your height to reach him.
Everyone is at the poolside, there was this table already set up with foods and drinks all displayed on top, not to mention how your eyes easily spotted your mother with a glass of wine in her hand. She stood near the table, talking with your father along with a maid who seems to be listening whatever conversation it is.
“Mom!” You raised your voice, there she smiled brightly. The two of you walked closer to her until you leaned down and kissed her on the cheek, hugging her tightly before leaning away.
“Mrs. Rhee” Beomgyu’s turn to greet your mother with a smile, it looks like she also noticed that his hair is getting longer by the way she pointed it out happily, saying that it suits him.
“Where’s Dad?” You asked.
“He’s with Ari getting the wine, come the two of you take a seat!” She instructed, moving to the side so that you and Beomgyu could sit right next to each other.
“I’m sitting right next to you” Siu’s voice caught your ears as you watched him make his way to your left, taking the empty seat beside you.
When the dinner began, everything was going how every family dinner goes. Light sounds of the spoon and forks hitting the glass plate filled up the air, you also recognized some of the dishes, one was your mother’s famous casserole and the other was the fruit salad that you would always have for breakfast back when you were younger.
“I heard that you created a new franchise Beomgyu, I must say that I’m proud of you and also amazed at the same time” Your father started, turning to his side of the table to face him.
Shaking his head with a smile resting on his lips, Beomgyu chuckled. “Thank you”
“And it’s a shame that Junghyuk couldn’t come. I would love to see him and Beomgyu together, the two lovers of my daughters' “The man at the very far end of the table announced, mentioning your husband beside you and your sister that’s sitting across from you. An empty space beside her for that’s where Junghyuk’s supposed to be at this family dinner.
Beomgyu could only click his tongue silently inside his mouth, tilting his head to the side when he remembered the seductive smile that your sister gave to him earlier, knowing that she already has a boyfriend made his vision on her a lot more bitter than it used to be.
“I know Dad, it’s because of his schedule he has some errands to attend to” You managed to switch your gaze towards your sister, eyeing her from the other side of the table as you slowly look over your shoulder to be greeted with your husband gulping down a glass of water.
His Adam’s apple bobbing up and down along with his sharp jawline making your insides go berserk, then simple thoughts warmed up your heart. Knowing Junghyuk’s just another ordinary intern of a business company could not carry the amount of work Beomgyu shouldered for the past years during this day, yet still he managed to come to this family dinner with you. You noticed little details about him, how his doe eyes showed interest whenever your mother would tell a story about you when you were a kid, how you would sneak to the pantry to eat any type of sweets that savored your mouth.
“I need to go to the bathroom, please excuse me” You stood up in your seat and without looking back, you entered the mansion and allowed the killing silence to welcome your ears.
Everything was just so new to you, your father and mother finally noticing you as their daughter by the sweet smiles they portrayed to you earlier, and the way you conversed with them without having a knife in your throat. But you think that they’re only acting that way because Beomgyu’s here and also their son Siu who they haven’t seen in a while, your eyes clearly betrayed you on how you looked like you wanted to cry out of nowhere by the overwhelming feeling. It really is like a perfect picture family from the movies… and you hated it.
After washing your hands with them trembling from the cold water, you stepped out of the bathroom to see Ari standing outside, she’s busy applying a new coat of red lipstick to even notice you walking out, or so you thought when she blocked your way. Popping her lips done, your big sister looked down at you with such confidence from the way she held her chin up.
“You’re in the way” She stated.
“I’m sorry but I wasn’t because you were clearly the one who blocked the way so, you’re in my way” You declared, not afraid to make eye contact with her here and now.
“I mean my life was perfect until you got in the way. I was supposed to be the one, the one who could make our parents happy, I was supposed to be the reason why there is a family dinner here, and lastly I was supposed to be the one who marries Beomgyu because I am the first born and the oldest out of all of us!” Her voice bounced off the walls hurting your ears.
“Are you mental?” You replied with your jaw clenched by the headache she’s giving you.
“No I’m not, I’m saying the truth”
“And are you seriously that heartless? Junghyuk’s clearly in love with you and yet you want to replace him out of jealousy because I’m married to Beomgyu? So what? You could be a gold digger?-” You didn’t get to finish your sentence when a sharp sting settled your left cheek, the burn hurting your eyes as you bit down your lip.
“Shut up! I’m fine with having Siu as a brother but you? You’re a shit hole in this family! Look at you wearing a dress that you can’t even afford back then! And your heels? All of this is just Beomgyu’s money! Whose house do you live in? The food that you eat? They’re all his luxury!” Fire reflected your eyes, grabbing her hair and yanking it straight to the dirt where she belongs. The dress that you’re wearing right now is the dress that you gave to yourself as a present, also the shoes, she clearly thinks so lowly of you.
“What’s taking them so long?” Siu heard his mother say from the far end of the table, looking up at Beomgyu who sat down one chair away from him, he stood up and asked him to follow.
“Mom, we’ll go take a look at Y/n and Ari” And with that without saying anything else, the two boys walked back inside the mansion. His brotherly instinct tells him to look for his sisters, scared about what might happen if they’ll arrive a second late.
“I hope nothing bad happened” The teen boy said as Beomgyu walked beside him, he’s pretty impressed by his height also, Siu’s almost the same height as him but still he’s taller by just a few feet.
“Is Ari really like this?” Beomgyu asked, opening the door for the younger one to enter first. There was no noise available when they set foot inside, only their breathing could be heard along with the wall clock ticking on the background.
“Yes, I don’t know why but she always hated Y/n ever since”
The two boys stopped walking when they heard your voice, a groan of pain leaving your lips from their left where the bathroom is located down the hallway. Beomgyu’s feet suddenly moved on their own, running towards your direction and the sight made his jaw clench, hands forming into a ball of fist for Siu to slowly take a step back from behind him.
“You two stop!” Siu shouted, alerting you from your stand. Your hair is a mess but not as bad as Ari who’s standing right in front of you, but the red cheek that came from the slap didn’t go unnoticed by Beomgyu.
Ari took the time, grabbing the long pause when your eyes locked with your husband who wore a worried face, his eyebrows furrowed with his face crumpled down in rage and also sadness. Grabbing both of your arms, Ari dug her nails down your arm until they bled, like a cat scratched your skin by her acrylic nails, the stinging pain making your body shake.
“Ahh!” You released, holding your left arm where a red crimson blood slowly escaped. And just as she’s about to hit you one more time, Beomgyu came into the picture and held her wrist, he stood in front of you like a shield that’s willing to protect you.
“Oh will you look at that!? You got backup, you got everything I wanted you fucking bitch!”
“I will not hesitate to hit you even if you’re a girl from what you did to my wife, and don’t call her that and never fucking come near her” He growled, slowly reaching to hold your hand from behind as he threw her wrist making Ari stumble back from the intense force. Siu ran towards Ari as he also blocked her from doing anything more, taking the time to study her face and by the looks of it, she received worse.
Her styled hair is a mess from all the pulling that you did and he almost let a chuckle escape his lips when he saw her bleeding cheek from the punch you gave to her earlier.
You watched as Beomgyu removed his suit blazer, giving it for you to wear to hide your bleeding arms as he pulled you close.
“Siu tell your parents that something important came up, we’ll go home now” Beomgyu ordered, squeezing your hand to reassure you that everything is going to be alright. You both walked away together and just as you’re about to open the front door he beats you to it, holding you by your arms as a result of you hissing in pain.
“Sorry..” Beomgyu simply gazed at you, licking his lips with the cold air of the night kissing his skin, thinking about the pain you’ve gone through by your sister's evil clutches. How your eyes looked like they just finished having a breakdown from the crying you did inside the bathroom, along with the red mark on your cheek. Fuck he hates seeing you like this.
“Sit down” The coldness of his voice made you freeze, only having the strength to follow his command, you sat down on the couch displayed inside the living room.
From the moment the two of you arrived Beomgyu didn’t spare you a single glance, only talking to you right now. Surprising himself when he removed the blazer of his suit that you grabbed over your shoulder, Beomgyu stopped mid-way when his eyes studied your arms, both having a scar and the dry blood sticking into them.
Swallowing the lump down his throat, you watched as he walked away to grab the first aid kit from the bathroom. Biting down your lip as you tried to keep the tears inside your eyes from falling, you hated this, you hated every second of this night.
You hugged yourself close, you hated how you look right now. Your face is a mess, your hair is all over the place along with your heart not knowing what to feel at this certain moment when you saw Beomgyu rush towards you. Dropping the first aid kit beside him as he kneeled down in front of you, pulling you close to him by wrapping an arm around you and from the behind of your head as he pulled you close to his chest.
“Shhh… does it hurt that bad?” His soft tone melted your chest, the pounding sound of your heart drumming your eardrums as you clutched the front of his suit with your hands.
“N-No, It’s just- I’m sorry that you get to see me like this” You cried, inhaling his scent that you earned to love from your stay. Slowly letting go of his embrace, you looked up and met his eyes, they were just as soft and gentle as his actions towards you in this very moment.
You finally calmed down as you silently watched Beomgyu clean up your arms and treating them, dabbing cotton balls that contained alcohol gently to your skin and saying sorry whenever you let out a pained noise. Taking the time to study the man before you, his delicate fingers, his defined jaw and his pointed nose, not to mention his eyes that you seemed to love staring at for the past ten minutes.
“There” Beomgyu spoke up, placing both of his hands on your knees as he followed your gaze down at your now clean wound. He’s been taking good care of you ever since you wore a wedding ring, no words were spoken next, only the two of you inside the big room with the clock striking midnight for everything to change by the next moment you looked at him.
“I want to be a good man and see you smile,” He started, standing up from his kneeling position, the urge to see you happy itched his brain, remembering the picture of the two of you laughing beside the fountain that one day, the time where you helped him control a claw machine. Knowing where this is leading yet everything goes following each other, watching as the both of you go round and round each time.
“And I want to hold you in my arms tonight,” Beomgyu confessed, standing tall for his eyes to watch you mirror his actions. Both trying to find answers in each other’s eyes, you took in everything he just said, the bubbling feeling inside your stomach mentioning to you what to do. His voice was a trigger.
His eyes drifted down to your swollen lips on how much you bit them earlier, they were red as a rose along with your cheeks shining down the moonlight from the window beside you. Fuck it.
Cupping your cheeks and what Beomgyu did next didn’t surprise you at all, the feeling of his soft lips met yours, almost forgetting how they felt, he bit, sucked, and licked them with so much passion. He’s taking over you slowly, you grabbed his nape and pulled him down so he could meet your height.
Kissing him with urgency so he returned the favor and slipped his tongue inside your mouth, Beomgyu’s body rejoiced when you returned the kiss, you didn’t waste any more time and jumped, circling your legs around his waist. He knew what to do. He caught the back of your thighs and held you close to him. It made you think that he also wanted this to happen, to get a feeling of kissing you again. Never getting tired and running out of air. He then placed you down on top of the couch hovering over you, it all happened quickly but he still remained gentle around you, Beomgyu unlatched his mouth and darkly stared at you.
“Fucking hell…” He said, breathing hard.
Oh how you waited to feel his lips again…
His lips went down to your neck and quickly hit the spot that got you mewling. Closing your eyes as you give in and letting him do whatever he wants with you, allowing more access to your neck when you push your hair away. Kissing it and leaving a real mark that he savored in every moment. Beomgyu groaned when he felt your hand exploring his upper body, touching his biceps and his abs where he saw stars everywhere when he’s with you.
Running your hand all over his soft hair, you tugged in it when he kissed a soft spot beside your ear, melting you within seconds. Moaning his name but got stopped quickly by his lips coming back for a taste of you, breathing hard with your brain not functioning in this current moment.
“Beomgyu…” You managed to breathe out but then you felt yourself being lifted up, eyes half lidded as you caught a glimpse of Beomgyu carrying you, his hair was a mess along with his lips matching your swollen state.
When the two of you are now behind closed doors, inside the bedroom where he bought the two of you. Pushing him down the bed as a surprised gasp escaped his lips, leaning his back into the headboard, Beomgyu’s rapid beating, he’s still in the white long sleeves of his polo. He guided you, guiding your hips as you straddled him down the bed, having you before him make a smile appear between the kisses, the black dress hiking up your thighs for Beomgyu to keep them down with both of his hands.
The feeling of you taking control when you continually kissed his jaw all the way to his neck made Beomgyu curse with him shivering at the feeling.
“Baby…” He spoke up, stopping your actions with a warm cup on your cheek by his hand. The moment you locked eyes with him everything seemed to stop, the ache inside your heart from your sister’s words earlier vanished into thin air. The way he called you out made you love the nickname more than you usually do.
Sighing, you settled on top of him and hugged Beomgyu who returned the favor to cuddle you under everything that just happened. Both hearts beating right next to each other to create a calm euphoria.
