As soon as the door closed behind me, I tried to run and find Taehyung but my legs gave up on me and I collapsed on the floor, sobbing as my tears soaked the silky mask I was wearing. I brought my knees to my chest and hugged them as I leaned my head on top of them, breathing slowly to calm myself down before I could go and find him. I silently thanked God that the dress I was wearing was made of a couple layers of material because if someone were to find me in that compromising position, it would embarrass me for life.
As I struggled to stop the tears from falling any further, I thought about what Chanyeol had said and if I told Tae about it, he would most certainly want to do something stupid and get me in a lot more trouble than I already was. I couldn't tell Kookie or Jimin either because they were all friends, so my only option for advice was Aotaki. She must know what there is to be done, she's been living with them for the past years.
The tears had stopped and my legs seemed to be supporting my weight again as I slowly got up and made my way back to the dance floor. It must have been a while since I was gone because there were fewer people in the club. I still had to struggle to get to the bar, though, but that was not the biggest problem I had of the night.
She was alone now, drinking a cocktail while scrolling through her phone. I sat on the stool next to her and touched her shoulder lightly to get her attention. She closed her apps and locked the phone, putting it away as she looked at me concerned. I motioned her to get out of there and took her in Taehyung's office.
"What's wrong?" She asked once we were inside.
"Chanyeol." I answered, looking down.
"What about Chanyeol?" She furrowed her eyebrows.
"He came to see me and told me that if I don't end things with Taehyung and move in with them , they will kill me." I responded, falling back on the couch.
"Oh?" She gasped, sitting beside him. "Okay. But you can't end things with Taehyung, though. You have that bound." She added, unhelpfully.
"I know. That's what I've told him, minus the bond part. But he said that I've got till tomorrow night to think about his offer. What am I supposed to do? " I sighed, shutting my eyes closed.
"Look, I have known Chanyeol since I came here. He and his friends, including Baekhyun, used to be close with our boys but after what happened to Tae, Kookie and Chim, they put the law above their friendship but I'm sure Chanyeol would change his mind soon. But you have to tell Taehyung." She explained.
"I don't know about that. I mean, what if he's gonna do something stupid?" I whined.
"He's not. Just be careful to use the right words when you're gonna explain the situation to him." She smiled awkwardly. As I was about to protest, she opened her mouth again, "By the way, how's the plan working?" She wiggled an eyebrow.
"Awfull. He threatened me that if I don't stop, he's not gonna be so patient." I sighed, air quoting the last part of the sentence.
"He's lying. That was what Jimin said and I still won." She said with a very serious face.
"Yeah but Tae isn't Jimin. And I don't want to try out his patience though." I replied, shaking my head.
"You're a coward then." She turned around,not wanting to look at me. "You're no fun. Why am I still talking to you?" I sighed, rolling my eyes.
"Fine. But if something happens, I'll kill you, myself." I pointed at her as soon as she turned back around.
The door opened slowly, revealing two clearly drunk boys. They were hanging onto each other as they came in, laughing hysterically. Aotaki and I looked at each other confused and back at the boys. They saw us on the couch and they started walking towards us, parting ways once they got in front of the couch, Jimin going to Aotaki and Taehyung coming to get me off the couch and pulling me in for a slow dance, wrapping an arm around my waist as the other was holding my hand.
"Tae? Are you okay?" I asked, searching his eyes.
He nodded and caught me off guard as he placed a romantic kiss on my lips. I frowned and let go of his embrace. He looked at me confused.
"I think we should go home." I said, grabbing his hand to lead him the way. "I'll see you home, Aotaki." And she just hummed in response as Jimin was keeping himself busy with her body.
I dragged Taehyung throughout the club and outside to search for a cab. As soon as one was in sight, I waved my hand and he pulled over to take our order. The ride home was quiet and all I could think about was that Taehyung was drunk. And horny. And I had to tell him about the recent event I've been through also. Come to think of it, I'd better tell him in the morning when his headache will kick in, so he wouldn't get mad.
As soon as the taxi pulled in our drive way, I paid him the money and stepped inside the house. He hasn't said a word but he kept on stroking my hand as I lead him to our bedroom. I placed him on the bed and went to change in the bathroom.
"You know, you can change in front of me. I can keep myself together better than you think." His words were a little slurred as he smiled, making me stop in my tracks right when I was about to enter the bathroom.
"It's good to know." I said and turned the knob to enter anyway.
I struggled for a bit to get out of that tight dress. How could women even breathe in those things? After I put on my comfy pj shorts and t-shirt, I got back into the bedroom to find Taehyung watching a movie but as soon as I walked in he changed the channel. I gave him a confused look and he smiled back at me.
"I think I'll sleep in the guest room tonight." I said, placing the dress back into the closet.
"Why?" He frowned.
"Because. You are drunk and-" I tried to reason but he cut me off.
"Oh, come on. Stop worrying so much. I promise I'll be good. I told you I can keep myself together. And I kinda wanna cuddle right now because my head is hurting really bad." He pouted, patting the seat next to him. I sighed and slowly made my way toward my side of the bed. I couldn't resist that face.
"Fine. Why did you drink so much anyway?" I asked him once I laid back on the pillow. He shifted his body, placing his head in the crook of my neck as he wrapped an arm around my waist pulling me closer to his body.
"I was worried about you. And Jimin offered me some tequila. It's his fault, really." He mumbled into my neck. I chuckled and sighed, bringing my hand to his head to lightly stroke his hair.
"You should stop worrying, too." I said and placed a kiss on the top of his head and soon I started hearing soft snores coming from him. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep as well.
~~
I was woken up by a loud moan that I, later, realized was coming from me. I opened my eyes to see Taehyung hovering over my body, his face hidden into my neck and a stinging sensation roaming through my body.
"Tae." I breathed out. "What are you doing?" I slapped his side lightly. He hummed into my skin and the tingling made me moan again. "Stop it!" I ordered. He pulled out and licked his lips as he looked at me confused.
"What? I was thirsty and my head was killing me." He defended, falling onto the mattress beside me.
"You could have, at least, woken me up." I said, moving my hand to the wound.
"You can't tell me you didn't like it." He winked. "Babe, you should get used to this and once we'll do it, your mornings will be much more enjoyable." He smirked as I blushed at his words.
"I need to talk to you about something." I changed the subject before he could tease me more.
"What? You want to do it now?" He wiggled his eyebrows, excited.
"No, you pervert. Can't you think about anything else other than sex?" I scolded him playfully.
"I try but every time I see you, my mind goes crazy." He ran a finger down my face and jawline, turning my head to plant a kiss on my lips.
Okay, so that's the way to break the news to him. Here goes nothing. I kissed him back more passionately and soon climbed on his lap, straddling his body as I leaned down to kiss his neck.
"I have to tell you something." I said as I placed more butterfly kisses on his neck.
"Hm? Now?" He panted as his hands found their way onto my thighs, rubbing them up and down.
"Last night... someone came to see me." I said, moving up to kiss his jawline.
"Yeah? Who?" He said between pants.
"Chanyeol." I said, placing a powerful kiss on his lips, not giving him the time to respond. He moaned as I bit his lower lip. As the kiss got deeper and heated, I was suddenly flipped over, reversing our position with Taehyung sitting snuggly between my legs.
He slowed the pace of the kiss, pulling away, our lips brushing against each other as he spoke in a low and husky voice: "Do you think I'm stupid?" His eyes pierced through mine and my stomach turned at his stern tone. "Trying to use seduction to fool me?" He thrusted slowly against my core, making my breath hitch. "If you don't start talking now about Chanyeol, I swear you won't be able to walk for a whole month." He pulled away slightly to let me talk. I cleared my throat, feeling the beads of sweat rolling down the sides of my face as the room got hotter.
"Uhm... He dragged me out of the club and... into his car..." I started but he suddenly became more rigid.
"Did he try anything on you?" His words were cold.
"No... it's nothing like that." I said as I cleared my throat again. I opened my mouth to continue but the words wouldn't come out. I was so nervous that he was gonna get mad and hurt me.
"Rei. I'm warning you." He started trusting again and I could feel his erection through his clothes as he pressed harder in order to catch my wrists and pin them above my head. I bit my lip to prevent letting out the moan that I swallowed quickly as I closed my eyes.
"Tae... please. You're not helping me." I whispered.
"I wasn't planning on helping, babe." He got closer to my ear and whispered "If you don't get to the point faster I'm afraid I won't be able to keep this to myself." He said, licking the shell of my ear as he continued to rub his crotch against me. My body trembled at the feeling as goosebumps appeared on my skin. "Now talk!" He hissed, annoyance clear in his tone.
"He said he'll let me live if I end things with you and move in with him." I breathed out quickly and squeezed my eyes shut.
"And what did you say?" He said, tightening his grip on my wrists and freezing his movements.
"I told him that I couldn't. But he didn't care. He gave me until tonight to think about it." I told him. "Tae.. I don't wanna die." I bit my lip as tears started forming into my eyes. His gaze softened as he saw the tears running down my face and leaned down to kiss them all away.
"You won't, princess. I'll be here to protect you." He smiled as he let go of my wrists to hug me, pulling me up and placing me into his lap as he sat cross legged onto the mattress. "Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" He asked as soon as I relaxed.
"Because I was afraid that you would get mad and hurt me." I said in a low tone.
"What?" He said surprised at my assumptions as he pulled me back to look at my face. I looked at him shyly as he continued, "I would never hurt my princess." He said, placing several light pecks on my lips. I chuckled and he stopped. "But using seduction on me, though?" He laughed.
"Shut up." I hit his chest, playfully.
"The problem is: What am I gonna do about this?" He said, pointing at his erection. I gave him an apologetic smile and he shook his head, pouting. "Not cool, babe. It hurts, this physically hurts." He fake cried.
"I'm sorry. You know I love you." And as soon as I said it my hands went to my mouth to shut it.
"You what?" He smiled. "Say that again." He whispered.
"Nothing." I said, coughing.
"Please, I heard you loud and clear. You said you love me." He smiled widely, kissing me but he stopped and frowned, looking me dead in the eyes. "A good girlfriend who loves their partner shows their love through actions, though." He shrugged, furrowing his brows, somehow offended by the treatment he received from me.
"I know but..." I trailled off.
"But what?" He teased me.
"Ugh. I said no and that's final." I told him as I tried to get up but he pulled me back down. "Tae~" I whined.
"We still have to do something about Chanyeol." He said in a serious tone. I looked away and he pulled my chin up to look at him again. "I wasn't joking when I told you I will protect you." He said as he placed another kiss on my pouty lips. "We'll get through this. I promise. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go fix my boner because my own girlfriend wouldn't help me." He said as he got off the bed. I laughed at his loud remark and laid back on the bed. "Oooh Kookie~" He sang as I threw a pillow at him and he looked at me laughing, "What? Fine. I won't sleep with him anymore but you should take his place if you want me all for yourself." He winked as he got into the bathroom.
What am I gonna do? I only have 12 hours to make my decision.
