Minji kept on tapping her fingers into the glass cover of the wooden table, her bored eyes showed that she is growing impatient from waiting for Mr. Chen. She glanced at Jung Kook who was sitting across her, looking unbelievably dashing this morning wearing his black suit and brushed-up hair.

"Babe...I know I'm handsome but looking at me isn't gonna make Mr. Chen arrive any faster." He met her gaze and threw a flying kiss at her. Mr. Chen forwarded them a meeting invite earlier and they both know that this is regarding the business summit and Alejandro Collins.

Minji kept wondering if Jung Kook heard her last night when she cried on his chest. Her sobs were loud enough. Jung Kook did not ask anything so she assumed that he was asleep when she confessed. The beeping sound of the glass door both startled them and when they saw Mr. Chen walking towards them they stood to show their respect. Mr. Chen was wearing a grey suit and his thinning hair is more prominent. Wrinkles formed at the side of his eyes when he smiled at them.

"I read the article that you made for the business summit..." He started then signaled them to take their seats.

"It's engaging...thank you for representing MC Enterprises with utmost professionalism." He then turned to Minji. She pursed her lips and breathed heavily. Mr. Chen still cannot let go of what happened between her and Alejandro.

"But for the bigger news...Alejandro Collins signed the deal with us over the weekend. The CEO is finalizing some of the papers and he mentioned to thank both of you because you have been nothing but helpful during the summit." Jung Kook's fist clenched remembering how Minji looked like after he beat her up. Some of her scars are still healing.

"No matter how many investments you signed, I will not forgive how you treated my girl." He muttered to himself. His gazed turned to Minji who was just looking blankly while Mr. Chen explains things.

"...Jung Kook are you sure that you still want to continue with your resignation? A promotion isn't far for both of you. Considering everything." Mr. Chen asked him.

"I am sir. I have enough money to start my own publishing company..." He gulped looking at Minji. "And I would like to be honest, Minji and I are lovers. I don't want my judgment clouded because I am in love with her." He smiled at Minji whose face just became red.

"S--sir--" Minji stood and bowed to Mr. Chen. "I am sorry if you think that I am after Alejandro Collins but I really am not...t-things got out of hand and..." She met Jung Kook's eyes. "It's true, I am in love with Mr. Jeon Jung Kook."

Mr. Chen coughed and loosened his tie. He then dialed a number on the Avaya.

"Can you please bring three glasses of sodas and bottled water please..." He instructed. Tiny veins on his forehead started to appear. He placed the phone down and took a deep breath.

"Kids these days..." He huffed.

"Well...office romance isn't against company policy, so you both are safe...but Jung Kook's right. He will have his bias over you." Mr. Chen's breathing is still heavy. "Jung Kook, you've been with us for years and I've seen you grow and I cannot stop you if you wanted to have a company of your own. I believe in your capabilities and I trust that you will do good." He smiled at him then turned to Minji. "...Minji, you haven't lasted a year yet with us and as you know you have a contract...We decided to terminate the contract when we learned that Alejandro Collins is interested in you, but think about it, you are doing well here. MC Enterprises can help you grow professionally." The door opened when a member from facilities placed their sodas and water then exited the room.

"That's just my suggestion. I m--mean, you were so feisty when we first met. Do you really want to be the girl who quit her job to be with her lover? A career won't leave you. Ever." Minji softened at Mr. Chen's words. She loved working at MC Enterprises because of the people and the learning that she got from a short period of time and if she will be honest, she wanted to stay but she is sure that Jung Kook will disagree.

"Anyway, that's just me. You figure it out. As much as I don't want to lose talents, the decision is still yours." He took his soda and bottled water and placed it inside his bag. "This room is booked for 15 minutes more if you guys want to talk. Please don't kiss here. I have to go. I have to attend a conference call elsewhere." The couple stood to bow and say their appreciation and when he exited the room, the silence was defeaning.

"I don't want you staying here..." Jung Kook started. "Now that Alejandro Collins is associated with MC Enterprises, that gives him more reason to get close to you."

Minji just nodded, accepting Jung Kook's decision over her career.

"...but I don't want to be the one to make that decision for you. Mr. Chen's right, you're doing good here and you met good people and friends, I have no right to take that away because I'm jealous." His bunny smile was wide and Minji's heart beats faster as if she was in love with him the first time. "You decide. Just like yours, my love for you isn't fragile too." Minji smiled with coy, butterflies in her stomach at how he used the same reference that she stated backstage and just fell head over heels in love with him all over again.

"I want to stay here." She admitted. "I want to build my career here. I want to grow where I am planted."

"Then retract your resignation. You're going to be amazing here." Jung Kook assured her.

"I want to kiss you babe." Minji confessed.

"We can't. Mr. Chen just warned us...how about a quick make out session on the rooftop?" He teased.

Minji was holding her laughter while walking faster to exit the room, she can hear Jung Kook's footsteps following her.

When they went inside the elevator, Jung Kook held her hand.

"Remember when you touched my pinkie the first time?" She asked, teasing.

"You seemed to like it." He chuckled.

And the Gods were on their side that morning when they found the rooftop empty. Jung Kook led her to the back and pressed Minji against the wall for a kiss. She clung onto him, enjoying his lips and not giving a care if someone will catch them red-handed.

****

The whole Seoul sky is filled with fireworks as early as 7 PM. The streets are busy with last minute shopping and kids playing with sparklers. There was a bit of traffic on the road leading to Han River where the biggest fireworks display will take place.

Jung Kook and Minji were driving to Delilah's house. Jimin agreed to drop by but had to meet with his brother first. Minji baked her world-famous blueberry cheesecake while Jung Kook brought fruits for the party. They are both wearing blue, which was determined as the color of the year.

"Jimin will laugh at us once he sees us wearing matching outfits." He commented while his hand was up on Minji's thigh.

"You can wear your coat if you don't want to match with me." Minji pouted and looked away annoyed that he is shrugging off her efforts when she picked the coziest blue pull-overs for them. Even she finds it cheesy to wear matching outfits but Chul suggested that they will look cute.

Jung Kook took her hand and kissed when they stopped at the red light. "Just kidding babe. I'd love to match with you. Soon we'll be printing shirts: Mommy, Daddy, Starlight or Moonlight." A smile formed on Minji's lips, looking forward to a positive result once she gets tested for pregnancy.

They honked in front of a huge two storey house painted in white. The gates automatically opened and they were greeted by one of the housemaids when they got off from the car. She smiled and bowed at them. They gave the same level of respect.

"Good evening. Welcome to Perez' Residences. Ms. Delilah and her friends are already up in the rooftop. Please follow me." The maid took the cake and fruits off their hands to lead the way and when the gigantic doors opened, two more maids greeted them. The flooring is in marble with gold outline. The living room's couches are French-designed with flowers in every corner and a fireplace. They went up the stairs and even the steps are glossy and art pieces hang on the wall. She knew that Delilah is rich knowing hat she owned a bar but she didn't imagine that she'd be this filthy rich. Also, Delilah looked down-to-earth and doesn't have the "i used daddy's credit card" aura.

They passed by to what seems like an infinite hallway with rooms on each side before they reached the rooftop.

"Minji!" Chul hugged her. She hugged him back. He then bowed to Jung Kook. The maid placed the foods that they brought on top of a long table filled with dishes.

"Hi! Nice to see you again." Delilah kissed her cheek.

"You as well, pervert!" She and Jung Kook laughed.

"Your house is amazing." Jung Kook commented.

"Not mine. Parents." She then grabbed two bottles of beer and handed to them. Jung Kook took Minji's bottle.

"Sorry, she can't drink. We're trying to get pregnant." He explained.

"Suit yourself. Let's sit there. The neighborhood flex their wealth by lighting fireworks. The show never stops." They walked towards the bench and saw Chul with a woman. It was Eunji.

"Babyyyy!!" Minji squealed. Delilah gave a confused look and Eunji gave an awkward smile.

"My ff--friends call me baby...but that was before," She explained to Delilah who rolled her eyes at her. She kissed Delilah on the lips. "You're the only one."

Minji is the one confused now. Jung Kook is laughing understanding what's happening.

"They are dating." Chul explained.

"I ordered at Bread and she left her phone number in the box. Thought it was cute." Delilah added then sat on Eunji's lap.

"I'm the only one without a partner." Chul pouted.

"Jimin is on his way..." And Jung Kook's words made Chul's eyes brightened like the sky.

They talked and play games and when they got bored they decided to cook barbeque. Minji, Delilah and Chul were preparing meat while Eunji and Jung Kook were starting the grill while drinking beers.

"I want to let you know that there should be no hard feelings between us." Eunji started while fanning the charcoal.

"What do you mean?" Jung Kook asked.

"Well..I had my dibs on Minji first but you went behind my back and broke the bro code. No biggie though. My girl is definitely hotter." Jung Kook almost spat his beer out.

She hit him with a fan and turned her gaze to the group who was pushing meat down the skewers, giggling at what Chul was saying. Delilah stood to get another beer and Eunji's eyes followed her move.

"See that ass?" Eunji whistled sexily. "Mine."

Jung Kook can't stop laughing at how Eunji who is small in stature can say those things.

"My girl's boobs are bigger." Jung Kook poked the inside of his cheek with his tongue while looking at Minji.

Eunji glanced at Minji. "I can make Delilah orgasm four times and still isn't tired..." He turned to Jung Kook and gulped from her bottle. "Can you do that?"  She teased.

"Minji pants when I'm thrusting her. Damn, it's tiring but it feels good to have a dick." Jung Kook answered indirectly.

"True..but I can make Delilah squirt." She waved her fingers into the air. "These fingers are...magical!"

They both laughed and clanked their drinks. Their girlfriends went to them, carrying a platter of barbeque.

"What are you guys laughing at?" Minji asked.

"Not--"

"Jung Kook was telling me what your cup size is." Eunji pecked Delilah's lips and grabbed a few meat and place it on the grill. "I wasn't even asking."Jung Kook hissed when Minji pinched his waist.

"Babe! I did not! Eunji was the one telling about..." He did not finish his sentence as she didn't want to embarass Delilah.

"What did Eunji tell you?" Delilah asked while back hugging Eunji. Eunji threw a glare at Jung Kook and Delilah who noticed it bit her shoulder.

"...something about your undergarments." Jung Kook lied instead. He fanned the grill and the charcoal started to burn slowly.

Delilah tightened her hug around Eunji. "You told him about my Hello Kitty collection?" Eunji gulped and threw another glare at Jung Kook.

"Those are sexy, love. But I prefer your kitty." Delilah blushed.

The four of them continued chit-chatting and grilling and soon after, Jimin showed up followed by Nam-il and Chiku. Jimin was carrying a bouquet of flowers which he gave to Chul. Minji was giggling looking at how Chul almost jumped out from his seat when he received roses.

"Noona!" Nam-il hugged her before showing respect to Jung Kook and Chiku did the same.

"Sir, I'll send you my bank account number."  Nam-il told Jung Kook.

Jung Kook's eyes furrowed but smiled at Chul. "What for?"

"I deserve payment for all the times I shut my mouth for wanting to tease noona about her secret relationship with you." Minji hit his shoulder.

"That's true, unnie. He has a list of things he wanted to tease but kept it to himself." Chiku told Minji.

"Thank you for inviting us." Chiku told Delilah. "You have a lovely home."

"Any friend of Chul is a friend of mine." Deliah then shook their hands. "The barbeques almost done, go to table so we can feast."

They sat around the table and began to eat under the sky filled with fireworks. Minji can't help but notice how Chul is still tomato-red as Jimin pay attention to him. There's sauce in his mouth and Jimin used his thumb to wipe it away.

"Babe, can you not stare at them?" Jung Kook whispered into his right ear. "Jimin might get...uncomfortable." Minji chortled and focused on her food instead.

After they were done eating, they played some more games before Nam-il and Chiku left as Chiku's parents insisted that they be together when the clock strikes twelve. After the couple left, the remaining people lighted sparkles while Chul and Jimin jammed. Chul was playing the guitar while Jimin sings.

"I didn't know Chul can play" Minji commented while holding her sparkle in the air and when he heard Jimin's honey voice, her mouth dropped. "Boss sings well too."

"Yeah. He does. He sometimes do acoustic night at the bar." Delilah confirmed.

"Jimin used to enter competitions when he was younger..."Jung Kook added. "Deliah, can I get a tattoo? I want the same one like what you did on Minji." Jung Kook asked while he was holding two sparkles and rounding them in the air. He looked like a kid. 

"No problem. Drop by the bar anytime." Delilah then took out a box from under the table where they ate and started lining it. Eunji helped her set the fireworks headed towards the sky and when Chul saw what they were doing, he stopped strumming the guitar and went towards them and Jimin followed him. Chul squatted and stretched his arm to light the wick of the firework.

"Thirty seconds before New Year!" Jimin announced and they began to move away from the fireworks when it started to light and in no time shoot to the sky. They all watched in awe as the fireworks exploded into open and burst glittering colors.

"10...9...8..." Chul began the countdown.

Jung Kook hugged Minji from her behind, his chin on her shoulder, swaying as they both watch the display on the air. He stole one last look from Minji before the year officially changes, his heart felt nothing but happiness that he found the love of his life.

"5...4...3...2...1...Happy New Year!" They chanted and jumped for joy. They hugged each other and greeted a happy new year. Chul and Jimin clanked their beers while Eunji and Delilah started to kiss.

"It's time for our new year kiss..." Jung Kook whispered into Minji's ear as she lifted her face. She smiled back, blushing and the golden fireworks reflected on his eyes. She clung her arms around him as Jung Kook pulled her waist closer. His heart beats faster when they lips finally met. He wanted to cry at that moment because of the overflowing emotions that Minji is making him feel.

"Marry me..." Jung Kook whispered but another firework exploded which may have muffled his proposal.

"What was that?" Minji asked after pecking his cheek. Jung Kook shook his head, disappointed at the realization that he cannot yet marry her.

"I'll do it properly, Minji. I'll put a ring in your finger." He promised himself.

***

Their merrymaking continued, but this time with more alcohol except for Minji. Chul and Jimin continued singing and looks like they are getting more comfortable. The remaining four however were seated on the bench, watching the slow fading fireworks in the air.

"I love you." Minji told Jung Kook out of the blue and Jung Kook felt more butterflies in his stomach and wanting to repeat his proposal. She kissed him on the lips.

"I love you more." Jung Kook was teary-eyed so he wrapped his arms around Minji's shoulder while his right hand went to rub her fingers before pulling her closer to his chest so he can kiss her head.

"I love you babe...I love you...I love you." Jung Kook continuously express his emotions with each kiss that he is leaving on Minji's head. Minji, on the other hand, enjoys his heart beat, confident that he is all hers. Her fingers traveled north, and when her index felt his nipple, she circled into it which made Jung Kook grip the hem of her pull-over.

"B--babe.." he moaned softly, struggling to position his  hand under Minji's blouse without being caught by the people who are with them. Minji's legs clasped when Jung Kook's fingers played around her stomach. They both stopped moving their hands when they heard moans from the other end of the bench. Their eyes widened when they saw Delilah with her legs spread on Eunji's lap. They were torridly kissing and Eunji's palms were squeezing Delilah's butt. Jung Kook looked away blushing but before Minji can do the same, Delilah met her eyes and smiled.

"Sorry...we just can't help it." Delilah said while Eunji kept on pecking her cheeks.

"There's a room beside mine. It's two doors to the right exit of rooftoop." Delilah chuckled. "There are a lot of blocked roads now. Stay for the night. I'm pretty sure that Jimin will be staying too." Delilah then stood and walked away followed by Eunji who winked at them.

Jung Kook and Minji laughed at what they witnessed.

"Do you want to make yourself comfortable?" Jung Kook asked smilingly.

"We can't leave Chul..." She glanced at her friend who is having the time of his life talking to his long-time crush. Jimin beamed at something that Chul said and Minji looked away before they noticed that she is watching them.

"...but I guess he won't mind." She looked at Jung Kook, her eyes pleading that she wanted to feel him and he understood it instantly. Jung Kook stood and held her and they walked outside the rooftop.

***
Jung Kook and Minji couldn't figure out whether the walls are just thin or Delilah was just being loud but they can hear her moaning inside their room. They are laying on a king-sized bed, making out for a long time but they stopped again when they heard Delilah moaning.

"There, baby! Yes! Fuck me!" Delilah screamed.

Jung Kook and Minji looked at each other blushing. He tried to hide his growing erection because he didn't want Minji to think that he is affected by Delilah's cries but the truth is, he is. He imagined Minji screaming like that while he pounds
