Time did not stop between so many occupations. It was incredible that you were about to celebrate a year of marriage. Your parents had asked you to meet in Daegu to celebrate, so you guys planned a weekend to travel.
They had prepared a dinner at your parents' house and everyone was enjoying together drinking, chatting pleasantly and exchanging jokes.
Yoongi's mom commented that she was crazy to meet her first grandchild. You two blushed. Your mom added that he or she would be the most precious baby in the world, but that you were still young, she wanted you to at least complete your degree before becoming a mother. While talking about the subject, she asked you if you were planning in order to avoid pregnancy.
Your face burned in shame. Everyone assumed that Yoongi and you had a marriage like any other, only you two knew what was going on. You stayed silent.
Mom: Daughter, why don't you answer? Aren't you guys taking care?
Suga was scratching his head, he was also embarrassed by the questions.
Dad: Are you trying to get pregnant? We thought you'd both want to wait.
Y/n: No dad, we're not trying to get pregnant. I am very focused on my studies and Yoongi-oppa works hard on his career.
It was the first time in long that you called him oppa, you just did it to avoid suspicion.
Mom: Then what? Are you just being careless? You're lucky it hasn't happened yet. I would like you to go to a doctor and start with a plan as soon as possible. Yoongi, can you make sure to find her a doctor in Seoul?
Suga's eyes widened.
Yoongi: Yes, aunt I will do it when we get back.
They put the subject aside and continued talking about when you were children, bringing to mind many anecdotes. You looked at Suga with obvious distress in your eyes. He was also upset that you were reaching your first anniversary without having been able to consummate the marriage, and having to pretend that everything was normal.
Then Yoongi's mom took out a photo album from the wedding ceremony.
Aunt: I've had this for a year. You guys were supposed to take it with you, but no one asked about it.
Everyone looked at the photos, commenting on how beautiful you both looked that day. Your aunt asked you to allow her to take some new photos, since it was such a special date.
You guys sat on the sofa and posed for the portrait. You looked good, but you didn't seem like a couple celebrating such an important occasion.
Aunt: Yoongi, hug your wife!
Suga cleared his throat, moved a little closer to you and crossed his arm behind your back. She took the photo, but she asked for more poses. You tried in various ways.
Mom: These photos are very good. You look very cute, but you come out almost the same in all of them.
Aunt: It's true, let's try something else.
Suga felt worse than when he had photo shoots with Bangtan.
Mom: One more, do something different.
You looked into each other's eyes, desperate, you didn't know what to do. You got up from the sofa and sat on his lap. He looked at you in amazement, but he quickly grabbed your waist. The ladies were delighted with the pose.
Aunt: This one came out beautiful! I think we have it now.
You were about to get up from his lap, but your mom stopped you. He didn't take his hand away from your waist.
Mom: We are missing one! The last one for real.
Aunt: Another?
Mom: I was looking at the wedding album and I remembered that the photo of the kiss was not taken.
Aunt: It's true, I just remembered!
They got ready to take the photo and you looked at each other again with concern. You wouldn't be able to make any excuses this time.
Suga wet his lips and placed his other hand on your chin to get you closer to his mouth. Your heart was beating fast. You narrowed your eyes and let yourself be guided by him.
Yoongi kissed you very tenderly, slowly. You felt his warm and soft lips pampering yours. At that moment, there were only the two of you in the world. He was also enjoying this opportunity, after so long he could feel the silkiness and exquisiteness of your lips again, while your breaths melted.
You both stopped, even though you didn't want to, but there were other people in the room. Your eyes met his for fractions of a second, but you were too shy to hold the gaze.
Y/n: (Clearing throat) Auntie, did you take the picture?
Aunt: Yes, I took a few, but we didn't want to interrupt you.
The two ladies laughed, making you blush. They were happy to finally have gotten the photo of the kiss.
He wanted to hold you longer on his lap, but you quickly got up and sat on another seat. You were still shaken from the kiss.
Mom: Okay, now everybody sits down at the table, I'm going to serve dinner.
Aunt: Ill help you.
Y/n: Don't worry, aunty. I will help her; you can stay seated
You followed your mom into the kitchen.
Mom: Daughter, it's good that we're alone, I wanted to talk to you about something.
Y/n: What is it?
Mom: I want you to talk to me in confidence.
Y/n: About what?
Mom: Who is that Suni girl they talk about so much on the news? What kind of relationship does she have with Yoongi?
Suga had gotten up to use the restroom and managed to hear the debriefing. He stopped in astonishment and hid behind a wall to hear your conversation.
Y/n: Oh, Suni. (You wanted to sound casual). She is an idol, her group is close friends with oppa's group.
Mom: But on the news all the time they are insinuating that something else is going on between them.
It hurt you that your mom found out about that. Surely everyone knew.
Y/n: No mom, tabloids are like that, always inventing rumors. I know her, she is a nice girl.
Mom: Really? That makes me feel calmer. I've been worried about you, and I planned this dinner partly with this in mind. I wanted to see with my own eyes how Yoongi treats you.
Y/n: Mom, you're so witty.
Mom: I told you once, you are our treasure. Our daughter is the most special person in the world.
Y/n: Thanks, mom. You don't have to worry about anything.
Mom: Daughter, are you happy?
Her question left you cold, your legs trembling.
Mom: If you're not, you don't have to put up with it. Your dad and I will always be here, we welcome you with open arms.
Suga felt his heart squeezing in his chest, he knew if you told your mom the truth it would be enough reason for them to get you away from him. The suspense killed him.
Y/n: No mom, your daughter is very happy. Yoongi-oppa takes care of me, he makes sure I don't miss anything.
Mom: Anything, daughter? Do you have everything you want?
You faked a smile and asserted. Of course, you didn't have everything you wanted; you lacked the most important thing. But you didn't work up the courage to confess it.
Yoongi sighed in relief, but he knew you had lied. He had recognized your concealment when you described Suni as a friend, and when you spoke of him as if he were a great man.
The rest of the dinner was pleasant, but Suga kept thinking about what he had heard, he felt very bad about what was happening with Suni. He knew that he was not only hurting you, but your family as well. He would seek to talk to you about it later to explain some matters concerning Suni, things that he had left out on purpose all along.
As an anniversary present, both your parents had booked you a night in the same suite as a year ago. Your mom had given you a bag and she had asked you to open it when you got to the hotel.
Inside the bag you discovered a set of lingerie, it was a very small pink satin dress with the upper part of the neckline embroidered; it came with a thong embroidered with the same pattern. The blood rose to your face. You hid it quickly when Yoongi entered the room.
He sat on the edge of the bed and pulled off his socks, then went into the bathroom and came out wearing his pajamas. You expected that just like a year ago, he would grab some pillows and go to the couch. But he threw himself on the bed ready to sleep.
You were nervous, you didn't know what to do, whether to ask him to leave or leave yourself; and if you stayed, should you put on the baby doll or the pajamas you were carrying in the suitcase? You felt even your temples throbbing strongly.
Yoongi rose suddenly, looking shaken.
Yoongi: Y/n can we talk?
Y/n: About what?
He pointed to the edge of the bed next to him, asked you to sit down and listen. You had no idea what was wrong with him. You sat down
Y/n: What do you want to talk about?
Yoongi: There is something that I want to clarify to you.
Y/n: Don't worry, I know that kiss was-
Yoongi: Was what?
Y/n: Pretended.
Yoongi: Well, I don't know if you faked your part, but I was going to talk to you about something else anyway.
You were surprised, that meant that he had given you a sincere kiss.
Y/n: Okay, talk.
Yoongi: I know that the news and tabloids don't just talk about Bagntan's products, I mean, they don't just talk about our music. Lately the tabloids and entertainment media have said many things about me that, although they are not true, neither I nor the company have come out to deny.
You knew he was referring to the Suni thing. You were wondering if he had heard the conversation with your mom.
Yoongi: When I started my career, I had no intention of getting involved in any kind of gossip, I just wanted people to recognize my talent and the quality of my music. But, you know that I am under the control of a management. Bang PD is friends with several producers and managers of small agencies, like the one that manages N3bula When the girls were about to debut, their manager and ours developed some strategies so that they could somehow use our image to project theirs. Anyway, the thing is that among what they suggested, what worked best from a marketing point of view was how close Suni was to Suga.
You listened carefully.
Yoongi: We were never asked to pretend to have a real relationship, just let the cameras catch some moments and let the media and people speculate whatever they wanted. We just had to keep quiet to keep that uncertainty and curiosity among the spectators... That's why I want you to know that, in truth, I never had the intention of developing a relationship with Suni that goes beyond friendship.
You found his words sincere, but he was missing something very important.
Y/n: I believe in what you tell me, that you have not had those intentions. However, a coin has two sides to it
Yoongi: What do you mean?
Y/n: Surely you haven't heard the side of the story that Suni has to tell. It seems that you have not realized that she does have other intentions with you, beyond work or friendship.
Yoongi: Of course not, you're wrong.
Y/n: Yoongi, I'm a girl. I see things that you cannot see. The way she looks at you, how she touches you or talks to you...
Yoongi: Please don't misunderstand.
Now it was he who spoke of misunderstandings.
Y/n: Can you tell me what was on the USB?
Yoongi: The USB?
Y/n: The one she gave you the day of the party.
Yoongi: Ah, it was a demo. She asked me to work with her on a song. Please don't look for things that are not there.
Y/n: Okay, I have nothing to prove it. But I don't need proof, I've seen enough of her interactions to know.
Yoongi: Well, I didn't want you to keep ignoring what's going on. That song will be out soon and after the promotion ends, we'll start to drift apart. Bang PD already realized that this kind of media attention doesn't help Bangtan at all. Just wait a little longer and then you'll stop seeing those kinds of stories in the press.
You were grateful that he shared that with you. Now you would need to see how things developed in real life.
Yoongi: It's been a long day, should we go to sleep?
You nodded. He lay back down on the bed, and you went into the bathroom to shower and change.
After taking a shower, you stood in front of the mirror trying to make a decision. He had just confessed two things to you, first that the kiss had been sincere and second that he had never intended to be with Suni. You were ecstatic, your heart was beating too fast. You took courage and put on the lingerie.
