Las Vegas, Thursday 1:23 am
Seoul, Friday, 5:23 pm.
I was deeply burrowed into the best nap I've had in ages; Snuggled and nested in the fetal position as my blanket hugged around me perfectly. The moment I took a low relaxing breath, the sound of my phone ringing loudly startled me awake. My eyes opened instantly, jolting me with a racing heart as I glanced at the screen.
He wanted to FaceTime.
Smiling, I quickly jumped out of the bed before answering but laid the phone down as I ran to the mirror, did a quick up style to my hair and grabbed my makeup brush in hopes of covering the sleep from my face.
I cleared my voice before speaking but my heart was in overdrive, "Hello?"
There was a rustling in the background that I couldn't quite make out nor could I see as I continued my quick routine.
"Hi" I heard him pause, realizing he was watching the ceiling and not my face. "Hmm...Shae?"
I grinned at the wonder in his voice. "Yeah?"
"Where are you?"
"Sorry, I...uh...had to...uh..." I couldn't form a clear sentence as I put the finishing touches on my lipstick.
"You...what?" He asked, frowning as I can imagine.
I gave one last look of approval in the mirror. Feeling satisfied with myself, I grabbed my phone but kept it upright until I situated back on the bed with my blanket over me.
"Shae?" He was beginning to sound concerned.
I turned the phone toward me and smiled as I saw him lying down on his bed, eyebrows knitted and lip curled.
"Hi!" I grinned excitedly. "Sorry," I added, pouting in a cute manner or at least I thought it was. This is kind of new to me...being someone's girlfriend is something that I haven't been accustomed to in some time.
He quirked his brow at me. "What were you doing?"
"Well, I was asleep when you call and I woke up a mess." I bit my lip shyly.
"What do you mean? A mess? You are beautiful." He complimented as he puckered his lips for a kiss.
I'm beautiful? That's definitely a first from him. I shook my head, "you're just saying that. "
"I mean that. Besides, hmm" A silly closed mouth grinned covered his lips as he wiggled his brows.
"Besides what? And why are you not asleep?" I glanced up at the time. "It's past one in the morning there."
"I can't sleep, not until I see you." He answered as he pointed into the phone. "I can never sleep until I call you first."
My stomach flipped.
"You could have texted me." I smiled.
"It's not the same." His voice lowered an octave.
I suppressed a whimper. "I supposed it wouldn't be. Besides, I would rather see or hear you too."
He stared at me, brows furrowing as his tongue passed between his lips.
He was in deep thought.
He suddenly turned his attention to the knock coming from his door then looked back to me, holding his finger up. He placed his phone face down to the bedspread.
Before long, I heard the echo of voices throughout the quiet room. I didn't recognize it but I could only assume it was another member. I didn't want to eavesdrop and I couldn't make out everything they were saying. I did hear him explaining that he was on the phone. There was a slight teasing coming from the other voice.
Taehyung's tone turned into a bit of a fussy one as he playfully tried to tell the visitor to leave but the mysterious voice was insistent. My gaze lifted back to the phone as it was picked up. I smiled shyly at him.
"Jimin wants to say hi. Is that okay with you?" Taehyung politely asked.
My smile slowly diminished at his question as my nerves kicked into high gear.
Now that they know of me officially, Taehyung has told me a little about them. Jimin I definitely remembered.
He was the closest to Taehyung. He was the best friend.
Although I would never tell him this but I couldn't help but worry about what they would think of me, especially Jimin. What if he didn't like me? What if he didn't approve of our relationship? What if they all didn't?
My heart was beating so loud it could have almost spoke in Morse code. I stared profoundly at the screen until my eyes were about to tear. Don't be a chicken Shae. It's just his friend. And co-worker. And possibly the person who could hate me the most. Not to men-
"Shae?" I faintly heard Taehyung called.
"Y-Yes?" He pulled me from my internal ramble.
His handsome face and pure smile brought me quickly to reality but I could see he was anxious on my answer. "Is that okay?"
I took a low exhale. "Sure," I forced a smile.
Taehyung moved the phone closer to Jimin who immediately took it out of his hands. "Hello!" He sang as he waved his hand.
"Hello!" I greeted back. So far so good.
"I'm Jimin. Nice to meet you Shae." He smiled genuinely and spoke very politely which eased my nerves a bit.
"Nice to meet you too Jimin. Taehyung has told me a lot about you." I admitted.
"Oh?" His features perked as he looked over at Taehyung and spoke in their native tongue, teasing him from what I could hear.
"Don't worry Jimin. It was good things." I told him.
Jimin turned his attention back to me. "Taehyung talks of you but I can't wait to talk to you." He smiled. "Have a good day!" He waved.
"Have a good night Jimin." I waved back.
He spoke to Taehyung once more before I heard the door close in the background.
"Finally alone." He spoke lowly but clearly.
Taehyung brought his phone closer to his face. "I miss you so much." The heat of his voice emitted fever to my bones, charring me to a tortuous arousal, one that would be difficult to fully satisfy without him next to me...
...but not impossible.
I blushed as I playfully bit my lip, my eyes hooded seductively teasing him.
"I missed you too. A lot." I puckered my bottom lip and slightly lowered it.
Taehyung pulled the phone away from him and lied on his back while holding it high in the air.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"I do not want to see that face you are making." He responded, his eyes wandering everywhere but mine.
"Why?" I whined playfully.
"You are...hmm...pouting but it's cute." He said as he brought the phone back closer to him and now staring directly at me.
My heart skipped as he began to watch me intensely.
"I'm pouting because I miss you." I explained, my voice dropping a bit lower than usual.
He immediately noticed.
Taehyung quirked his brow as he rolled to his side. "Tell me what you miss, hm?"
I lowly exhaled. "I miss your touch."
"Hmm..." he moaned. "I miss yours too. More."
"Yeah?"
"Yes." His voice deep, direct.
My breathing paced as my arousal began to peak again, lips parting as our eyes communicated for silent seconds. I couldn't tear away from him if I wanted to.
Suddenly he got up from his bed. The phone remained in his hand but I could exactly tell what he was doing.
I heard a snap of what sounded like a lock. Moments after I noticed the lights were more dimmed than before.
He took his place back on the bed, leaning against the headboard. His eyes were low, passing his tongue between his lips.
"Shae?" His voice dark and sensual.
"Taehyung?" I called curiously.
"Let us try something." He winked.
I couldn't help but blush as my mind wondered what he was thinking but I'm sure I had a good idea. I guess this part of our new relationship was something I would have to grow accompany to and I was willing to try anything for him.
"Sure. Tell me what to do."
