"The thing about pain is, it coexists with joy. That's why I'm willing to go through the pain of loving you, so I can indulge you."

"Ugh...." Aeri pulls the softness closer to her, hugging it tightly. Warmth wrapped around her like a security blanket, her nightmares all gone and away.

In her dream she could see the stars aligned in the sky, the nights where she felt like she lost something important. Ever since she woke up in that hospital, she's struggled to grasp everything, getting her identity and life back. She couldn't even recognise her parents.

But she knew, something else. There was something else she wanted to remember, but couldn't.

Recently, the events that happened had brought back fuzzy memories, perhaps from her childhood. The image of rushing water, the desperate desire to live....and someone.

The arms around her tightened when her eyes begin to open slowly, revealing a blurry vision of a face she knew very well.

"jagiya." Yoongi smiles gently at her, leaning on the bed propped with his elbow. He pulls her head into his chest lovingly.

"you're awake."

Aeri blinks in confusion, the images in her dreams drifted into nothingness. Somehow, Yoongi's expression was....softer, than normal.

And then a sudden rush of coldness hit her. Aeri finds her eyes travelling down her body, to her bare legs. She's only wearing a towel with nothing underneath.

"Uhm" Aeri blushes intensely, trying to cover up whatever bare skin with her arms.

Yoongi's expression turns into amusement, and he chuckles with a gummy smile.

"You fell asleep in the shower." he explains before he stripped off his shirt, pulling it over her quickly.

Aeri couldn't help but steal a glance at his milky white torso, holding back a gulp. Yoongi hugs her tightly, cuddling into her arms before pulling away again.

"Your hair is damp....I'll dry it for you." He stares into her with half opened eyes, his hand running through her hair.

The girl nods, pulling down the shirt to cover up most of what it could. The hem of the shirt ended at the middle of her thighs, gaining Yoongi's attention.

He tries to avert his eyes, but the sight was too tempting. He was a man, afterall.

Somehow managing to hold back, Yoongi jumps off the bed, walking slowly to the closet where he throws her one of his sweatpants.

"Wear it quickly..." he ruffles his hair shyly, looking everywhere else but her. At the same time, he tugs a new shirt over himself.

The two eventually made their way to the living room, plugging the hair dryer to a socket. Aeri sits down obediently beside him, facing forward as he blowed on her wet hair.

"promise me that you'll never fall asleep in the bathtub again, or I'll have to get in with you." Yoongi warns her as he finishes up. He hugs her from the back, burying his face into her shoulder.

<YOUR POV>

"Let's have breakfast in bed, like Americans do" Yoongi suddenly walks into the bedroom, both hands balancing plates.

"Woahhh...." you scanned the dishes on the plate. Although they were all traditional korean crusine, they were assembled in a westernised manner.

"Im trying to earn husband points" Yoongi places the plates on the side desk, before crawling onto the bed with you. He smiles sweetly while cuddling your back.

"Sit here." he demands with a smirk, tapping on his lap.

After a moment of hesitation, you decided to just comply. You plopped yourself on his thigh, and Yoongi immediately embraces you from the back, planting a quick peck on your cheeks.

"Are we eating like this?" you blushed, averting eye contact.

Yoongi nodded slowly. He then takes the plates over, placing them on the bed.

"Come closer, babe." He leans your body against his chest, wrapping his entire arm around you. Your head was resting on the crook of his neck, and there was a faint smell of his cologne.

The both of you quietly ate in this position. Yoongi uses his other hand to answer some emails on his phone, and you watched as he desperately typed with a single hand.

"Why don't you just let go?" you giggled at the way he was typing so slowly.

"....Don't want to." he tightened the grip around you, pulling you even closer. He kisses your forehead softly.

"Aishhhh, let me type then! Tell me what you want to write." you snatched the phone from his hand.

Yoongi widened his eyes in shock, and tries to take it back but you've already seen it.

Bang PD,

I would like to take a few days off from work and promotions. I've emailed you all the tracks and song lyrics for approval, and I've made sure all photoshoots are scheduled by this week. I've also done all interviews last month.

Don't bring the kids to follow me.

-Min Swag

You stared at the email speechlessly, your heart breaking when you noticed the tiredness in his eyes. So that's why he was so busy recently.

"...why?" you caressed his cheek softly, the worry in your heart intensified. There was warmth in his eyes as he stared back at you.

"well....your birthday is coming soon" he smiles slightly, pinching your cheek. "I wanted to spend time with you."

Hearing his words, you gave him a tight hug, and Yoongi's heart begun to beat rapidly. He then pulls away, planting a gentle kiss on your lips.

This time, it was a longer kiss, one that showed deep affection. He kisses you lovingly, like a man telling how much he loves the woman. You felt his hand travelling across your body, sending tingles down your spine.

"I kinda told PD-nim about the sasaeng thing, by the way" he informs you as the both of you pulled apart.

"Sasaeng?" you recalled the fangirl that hurt you and broke into the waiting room.

"Yeah, and I'm using that as an excuse to bring you away for a few days." a gummy smile forms on his face.

"....and to celebrate your birthday, just the two of us."

"but, w-when are we going?" you asked.

You watched as a smirk crept up his lips, and before you knew it, he pushes you down on the bed, his body hovering over yours. You stared at him in shock.

"We're going right now."
