We were all still in shock. Yup, even I was taken back by what he just said. Technically he did not confirm nor deny the fact that we are in any kind of relationship.

"Leenah, is that true?" I heard Hoseok ask and I just chuckle nervously. See, I was about to speak but as always. The boys love talking on my behalf.

"That Lee is the most precious thing in Jaebeom hyung's life? Yes. She is to all of us" Jackson said as he wrapped his arm around my neck putting me in headlock. I think he wanted to hug my side but his aiming was off. I tapped his arm to grab his attention, barely able to breath. Only then did he notice that I was struggling and let go of me.

"Wahhh! If being precious means putting me in headlock, then thanks I don't wanna be that" I said right after taking in a deep breath.
The rest just chuckled and got the hint that this is a personal matter and I don't feel like serving my personal details on a silver platter for breakfast.

We all got ready and gathered in the living room. I clapped my hands to grab everyone's attention.
"My boys. We'll be divided into different cars. Mine, Mark's, Jackson's and Jinyoung's" I paused a bit checking on my phone. "As for Bangtan, your manager just texted me saying he sent Jin and Joon's cars." I tell the other 7 and they nod. Everyone then scatterd, gathering their stuff.
"Take different routes and different entrances at the mall. Masks are by the door. Oh and one more thing..." I said and they all turn to face me. "Try not to cause a scene? I don't feel like dealing with the press nor invasive fangirls.." The boys chuckle at my statement and we all gather our things ready to leave.

I grab my keys, put on my snapback, mask and sunglasses while pulling my cross bag over my head then heading out the door.
Suddenly I couldn't feel the ground beneath me anymore. What the hell?

"Ugh!! YAAAHHHH!!! Im Jaebeom!! Put me down!!" I yell at the man placing me on his inhumanly wide shoulders. His laugh was so evil, I kept trying to wiggle my way out of his grip but no use came from that.

"Give me the car keys and I'll let you down." He tried to negotiate with me. Huh, he's not serious.

"No I'm not giving you anything"

"Do you really want me to use force"

"You're already using it, put. Me. Down. Ugh!!"

"Fair point. But I'm not putting you down unless you let me drive"

"Why don't you just go nag Mark he's got a car and a good one. Mine is just Hyundai"

He finally puts me down as we arrive by my car and places me near the passenger seat. He decreases the space between us as he keeps moving forward. I am now backed against my own car and he's towering over me. My heart's beating so fast. I can practically hear it.
As if he knew what he's doing to me; he leaned down a bit and I can feel his hands placed on both my sides caressing my exposed skin. Everything felt right. He's finally going to kiss me... I closed my eyes, ready to finally feel his soft lips on mine. I felt his warm breath hitching.

But of course, I heard a chuckle and I shot my eyes wide open as he was stepping back. He held my car keys up to my eyesight still laughing. He leaned closer to whisper in my ear...

"Last night.. I didn't get to tell you what I like.." he drifted off to look into my eyes. "I like to tease my girl, make her beg for it." He bit his lips looking at mine. Not hiding the lust in his gaze.

I instantly look away scoffing. "Good luck, I'll never beg"

He chuckled and his devilish smirk appears "Oh Lee, but you will." His eyes are black and lustful. He leaned in and I could feel his warm breath on my skin, his hand softly tucking a strand of hair behind my ear so carefully, barely touching my skin. Only to whisper in the most heart-dropping lustful tone and say "I promise you" my body shivered at his words, his voice, the way he acted. Everything was so goddamn perfect.

I really need to control my hormones.

I pushed him away slapping his arm. "Stop doing that. Now get in, we're gonna be late" he just laughs and moves to the driver's seat. As soon as I settled in I caught a glimpse of an irritated Jin before he got into the driver's seat himself. I just shrugged it off because I'm finally happy where I am. He shouldn't make me feel guilty for moving on. He had the chance to ask me to get back together but he didn't. What did he expect? That I'd wait forever for him? I found myself fondling with the necklace subconsciously.
I removed it and placed it in my cross bag.

"You okay?" Jay pulled me out of my thoughts. Placing his hand on my thigh, rubbing it gently. His gesture was soft and polite but he knew exactly what he was doing to me.

This man is gonna be the death of me..

"Yeah, I'm just happy I have you guys now" I smiled weakly at him. He eyed my fake smile, grabbed my hand pulled it closer to his lips, placed one kiss on the back of my hand and another on the inside of my palm.

"We're lucky to have you Jagi". He finally said and kept my hand closer to his chest.

I have never felt my heart flutter like this. Not with Jin, not with any other member and definitely not in any of my previous relationships. How can he do this to me?

A few minutes later we arrived at the mall. Jay pulled up his hoodie as we walked in. We kept wandering around from shop to another until we found Mark and Bambam in one. Jay walked over to them and I told him that I wanted to look for the women's section and they should text me before leaving the store. They just nodded and I moved to shop for myself.

I picked up a few items and as I was about to head to the cashier I saw a gorgeous dress that was really so stunning. It was the perfect shade. Wasn't nude, wasn't beige. I don't know but the work on this dress was seriously perfect. I was in love.. Until I saw its price...

"Ready to go? The woman has been saying next 3 times now" Mark cuts my chain of thoughts and my love-hate relationship with the dress as he pats the small of my back, slightly pushing me forward. I pay for everything and we head to another store. Now it's only me and Mark.
He wrapped an arm around my shoulder as we walked together. For some reason, somehow I felt people eyeing us.

"Mark, can you not?" I say and move out of his grip. "If the fans or even worse, press; saw us in this state they're gonna say a bunch of inappropriate things. I'm your manager after all." He rolled his eyes playfully and shrugged his shoulders.

He was walking away when he leaned in whispering.. "I obviously don't give two shits about what people say" now it's my turn to roll my eyes at him.

He stopped midway. "Excuse me, did you just roll your eyes at me?" I look at him confused. "Baby girl.." my heart skipped a beat and I visibly blush. This happens every time he says that nickname. "Do I need to punish you?" What?

"NO!" I almost yell and he snickers.

"Try not to cause a scene. I don't feel like dealing with the press, nor invasive fangirls..." He said, clearly mocking me and I scoff at this rolling my eyes again. He stepped forwards and me backwards until my back hit a wall. "Maybe you do need a punishment after all" his deep voice crept through my spinal cords. His breath on my cheek so warm, his lips barely touching my skin as they brush along my cheek up towards my ear. I close my eyes as the sensation was overwhelming. "You have no idea how badly I want you.." I felt his finger sliding up and down my arm. Feeling his soft skin on mine "I would love nothing more than to undress you. Right here. Right now." I felt a kiss right under my ear "spank you" then another kiss, "punish you" this time it stung. He bit me. His teeth scratched the surface of my skin "And show all the ways I can ruin your tight little-.."

"Hyung?" I heard Tae's voice and I jumped pushing Mark away. He on the other just chuckled.

"Yeah Tae.." he looked at my brother completely unbothered.

"We're all heading out now. Guess we'll see you guys later?" Tae explained and we stepped towards him to say goodbye to the others.

"Wait Taetae I wanna say bye to the boys" I tell him while following his footsteps.

"I thought you were with Jaebeom hyung Lee what the hell? You're not a cheater" he scolded me in a low voice so Mark wouldn't listen. But of course, Mark heard it because he winked at me chuckling.

"It's not what you think Tae. It's a really long story that I'll tell you about it later" Tae nods in response and we arrive at the parking lot where Bangtan's cars were.

I run to Joon and hug him.
"I know it's too much to ask but take care of my brother?" I ask him and he chuckles and nods.

The hugging goes all around the Bangtan boys. I waved at Jin avoiding unwanted interactions and when it was time to hug Kookie he swept me off my feet. Literally. And spun me around "ahhhhh Lee.. please don't be too busy. I need to see you every now and then" as if he realized the odd sentence that came out of his mouth he smiled his cutest bunny smile and corrected himself "we miss you. Man. Don't overthink it" I giggle at his statement and nod as we say our goodbyes and we head back ourselves.

"I think we need to stop by the convenience store. We have nothing to cook for lunch and dinner" I say remembering the royal breakfast Jin prepared. I think he used everything in the fridge.

"Speaking of which. How about we order takeouts today and I take you out to dinner tomorrow night? Just you and me?" Jay of all people said that..

"I-uh-I.." I basically stutter. Searching for the right words to say.

He finally puts me out of my misery and cut me off saying "The boys can take care of themselves Lee. You need a break just as much as we do" I nod and say yes. Do I even have any other choice?
