~Yumi~


Seokjin's words rang in my head. Although I was nervous as hell, a part of was maybe even expecting it too.

So, I sat in bed, hands in my lap as I waited for Seokjin to come out of the bathroom. When he does, I sat up straighter, trying to calm my racing heart. I watched and waited but nothing happened even when Seokjin got into bed.

He reached over and switched off the lights with me still sitting there. I looked at him through the dark and frowned.

"Shortcake," I heard the laughter in his voice. "Sleep."

"Uh..."

He reached out and grabbed my arm, pulling me down on the bed before throwing the covers over both of us. Then he hauled me into his arms, holding me in a strong embrace.

"Looking forward to losing something?"

I slapped him in the chest, my voice shaking with embarrassment, "N-no. Not on your life."

I felt him rest his forehead against mine as he murmured, "I won't do anything. Don't worry."

Was it because I don't have any sex appeal? Was I not good enough? Did he prefer Rijin? Maybe she was better in bed.

Seokjin's hold on me tightened, "Stop overthinking things. Besides, how can we do anything when you're shaking like this?"

"I'm not," I lied.

"You are," he muttered before burying his head in my neck. I pressed my lips together to suppress a moan when I felt his lips move against my neck. "Sleep for me, will you?"

Disappointment washed over me at his words.

"Stop doing that and I will," I said, snappily.

I felt his lips smiled against my neck before he murmured, "Night Shortcake."

"Night," I mumbled, trying to force myself to sleep. It didn't take long because I was tired as heck and passed out right after that.

The next few nights were like this. Although I was a little disappointed, I can't deny the fact that I'm somewhat relieved. A part of me was insecure because I don't have any experience and also because Seokjin have been with other women before. Maybe it was the sex that keeps couple together. If we're not compatible, how can we stay together? It scared me.

"I don't get it," I snapped as I glared at the fishing rod. "This stupid thing can't even do the job it's designed for!"

Seokjin's laugh almost made me smile but I didn't. It was better to focus on the anger instead. I was frustrated with everything. Thanks to this guy.

Leaning over, Seokjin pressed a kiss to my cheek, making all the anger in me disappear. With laughter in his tone, he said, "You just need to be patient, Shortcake."

"I'm not a patient person," I mumbled.

Seokjin and I spent a lot of time swimming, snorkelling, eating, dancing, drinking and now fishing. I knew how much he enjoys it so I tagged along... though I didn't think it'll be this hard.

"What makes you like fishing this much?" I asked him when we were done for the day. We were just standing there, watching the waters before us. 

Seokjin smiled, eyes still on the waters, "If you ask Minseo, she'd be able to tell you."

I tilted my head to the side as I stared at him, "Why does she know?"

"Because she's a fan," Seokjin smirked, looking over at me before swinging his gaze back the scenery, "Were you thinking of something else?"

"Minseo knows a lot about you," I said, casually.

"She's a fan," Seokjin replied.

Do I need to be a fan to know you too? I thought to myself, sighing.

"She knows what I want the fans to know," Seokjin said, making me lift my gaze to meet his amused ones. "I hope that makes you feel better."

"Excuse me?"

"You're sulking."

"I am not!" I scoffed. I so totally was but there's no way I'd ever admit that. 

"Does it bother you?" Seokjin asked, turning to face me, eyes serious. "Minseo and my relationship." 

I thought this question through and then shook my head. "No," I answered honestly. "At first... it kind of hurt me a little. You were really comfortable with her and were really affectionate with her and that's something I don't have even though I'm your wife." 

Seokjin grabbed my waist and pulled me closer towards him, "And now?" 

I smiled up at him, "It doesn't bother me. I can see that she adores you and looks up to you as a role model. Like a big brother. Besides..." I trailed off when I thought about Minseo and Taehyung together. "She loves Taehyung. More than anything." 

I remembered Minseo's eyes softening whenever she recieves messages from Taehyung and even when she goes on Twitter and sees his photos. That's love in her eyes. When he kisses her or annoys her, she has that glow. A glow that doesn't hang around her when she's with Seokjin. 

"Is Taehyung bothered by it?" I asked Seokjin. "She really adores you." 

Seokjin grinned, "No. She's a big fan apparently and he gets it." 

"Understanding, huh?" 

Seokjin nodded, eyes warm, "It makes me really happy - knowing that Minseo is a big fan. It's because of people like her that I'm able to continue doing my job." 

I'm not a celebrity but I get that. Celebrities thrive on that love, support and dedication - it gives them a purpose and it gives them strength. People like Seokjin gave him a lot of strength so even I'm happy for him. I'm not a fan so I don't know much but I can work on that and change it. 

"Taehyung gets a little jealous though," I said, laughing as I remembered his pout. 

Seokjin grinned, "Well, he does but that's because he wants more of her attention." His eyes held a wicked glint as he murmured, "She gives him all of that in bed and that is one thing he doesn't doubt. Her love as well as how much she needed him to feel whole." 

I groaned, covering my face, trying to get rid of the images forming in my head. 

Seokjin's soft laughter filled my ears as he kissed my temple, holding me close to him.
