The rest of the night was pretty lax for the most part. I wasn't as nervous with all the boys around and Tae, Jin, and Namjoon seemed to be getting along better than expected. As it came time to leave, Yoongi opened up a conversation.

"Jin are you still in that hotel downtown?"

"Yeah, I haven't found a place yet closer to work, nothing I really liked anyway."

He looked over at Tae and he gave Yoongi a subtle nod. "Why don't you move in with us? I have the extra space."

Jin looked a little surprised. "Really? But Tae, you just moved in."

"I know, but we are literally walking distance from both your work and Noona's place. It would be so convenient for you. Plus it will give us some time to get to know each other again."

"That...would seriously be awesome...if you're sure." He asked again.

"I'm sure. The room is already cleaned out. There is a bed in there though, it's a Queen so there's plenty of room, you know if...anyone visits." He finished looking over to me. Jin followed his gaze and I'm sure he saw the death glare I was giving Tae for it.

"Thank you." He responded laughing. "When do you want me to do this?"

"Whenever you want."

"How about at the end of next week? I already paid for next week in the hotel, and that way it will give you some real alone time before I'm here."

"Deal." Yoongi said reaching out to shake his hand.

It was getting to be a bit dark out when Tae approached me at the door. "You're not mad are you?"

"About what?"

"About us inviting Jin to live with us instead of you?"

"Oh Tae, no. Not at all. He needs it more than I do, plus he's your brother." I said kissing him on his cheek. He gave me his happy smile and hugged me.

"Be safe, and text me when you get home." He sternly spoke.

I was about to head out when a soft hand held on to my wrist and spun me around. My eyes were met with the pool of chocolate that had me in a trance the entire night. "You're leaving?" he spoke.

"Well, yeah...I um...it's late."

"Can I walk you?"

"Sure, I'd like that."

Without hesitating he laced his fingers between mine and lead me outside. "Lead the way." He smiled.

I pulled him to the right walking slowly toward my apartment building. "Does it bother you if I touch you?" I shook my head and he instantly let go of my hand and put his arm over my shoulders. I looped my arm around his waist and it was comfortable. Being with him this way felt natural; typically walking with someone this close put your body at a weird angle making walking difficult, but not with Jin. It was easy and smooth and he was warm. But nothing this good lasts for very long.

Just my luck, Eli was still sitting outside at the bar, in the same spot he was in when I passed by the first time. I stopped in my tracks and turned towards Jin. He gave me a weird look of concern as he spoke.

"What's wrong, Noona?"

But before I could say anything I heard a loud call from behind me.

"HEY It's babygirl. And who does she have with her?"

I closed my eyes dreading Jin's reaction, but to my surprise he wrapped his arms around me and lowered his tall figure to whisper in my eyear. "Who is that?"

"Umm...he's...annoying?"

He nodded and turned me back around pushing me forward, arm still holding me close. I held on to him again and as we passed the bar sitting Eli jumped off his stool sauntering over to us. He stepped in front of us causing a sudden stop.

"Babygirl..." he slurred. "Why don't you come drink with me...then I can walk you home."

"No, Eli. I told you to leave me alone."

"Oh, come on." He slurred again. "I know you miss my dick."

I felt like I was going to be sick...this is NOT how I wanted Jin to find out about my...questionable past decisions. I felt Jin tense a little and attempt to pull me from Eli's reach walking towards my building again but Eli was quick for a drunken bastard.

"You can fuck that guy after me...come on." He went to take hold of my wrist but Jin reached out with lightning speed and grabbed hold of his wrist in a tight grip. He winced a bit at the hold and looked over to Jin. "What the fuck dude?"

"I believe she said no...and pretty nicely. How about you move aside?"

Eli pulled his wrist from Jin's grip and looked at me. "Got yourself a body guard? Do you fuck him to pay him, whore?" 

I couldn't respond. Not from anger...not from not knowing what to say. But from shock. Jin, had let go of me and punched him on the side of the face so hard it knocked him over. I gasped and pulled my hands to cover my face as I let out a few giggles from what just happened. I looked over at Jin and he shook his hand a bit and stepped over Eli as he was groaning on the ground holding his cheek.

"That wasn't very nice. You should apologize."

All he could do was groan and rock back and forth as he stayed down. I looked over at Jin in amazement as he walked back over to me. He didn't hesitate to grab my face with his hands pushing the hair from my eyes. "I'm sorry he said that to you, are you okay?"

"I should be asking you that." I said as I took his right hand off my face. It was already swelling a bit as I examined it. "You need to ice this, let's get going, my apartment isn't far." He held his right hand up since it was sore and held my right one with his left. We walked the rest of the way to my place in silence. I was dreading explaining to Jin who Eli was...I really didn't want Jin to know how true is statement was. We finally made our way to my apartment and I sat Jin down on my bed as I ran to my bathroom to get a first aid kit and then to the kitchen to grab a bag of frozen peas.

We didn't talk. I sat next to him and took his hand in mine cleaning off the surface just in case there were any cuts. Likely there wasn't. After I cleaned his knuckles off I pressed the peas to his hand and I heard him hiss a bit through his teeth in pain.

"I'm sorry." I whispered.

He smiled to me. "Thank you, Noona."

"I should be thanking you, Jin. I really appreciate what you did back there."

"He deserved it. Calling a woman like you a name like that." He shook his head.

"Yeah..." I looked away from him. "A woman like me."

"Noona?"

"Hmm."

"You don't have to explain anything to me." He said softly. I looked back over to him. "I still want to spend quality time with you and get to know you."

I shook my head and let out an ironic laugh. "Oh...no you don't Jin."

"Why not?" he asked now taking hold of my hand.

"I just...I don't want to talk about it."

"I'm sorry if I make you uncomfortable Noona, but I want you to know that whatever it is you think I'm going to judge you for, I won't."

"You say that because you have no idea. Tae only told you the good things about me. If you really knew anything about me, you'd want nothing to do with me."

"Try me." He said bluntly.

"What?"

"Try me. You think that I'll want nothing to do with you, then why prolong the inevitable? Try me."

I got annoyed with his wording a bit but decided to humor him.

"Fine." I said sitting on my bed on the side to face him. "That guy, who you punch...which by the way was epic...ask me how I know him."

"How do you know him?"

"I fucked him." I said bluntly. His facial expression didn't change a bit. "In fact, I met him through his friend, who I was sleeping with. Not only that, but I continued to sleep with him...and his friend. And multiple other people, at the same time."

He still didn't move. So I continued. "To be quite honest with you Jin I'm not sure how many guys I've slept with in my life time. The last time I made an effort to count I got all the way to 68 and stopped because I didn't want to now after that. I used to have apps on my phone specifically for hook ups. I even have people waiting at my door step waiting to fuck me." I looked him in the eye. "It's literally the only thing I'm good for; sex." Tears started to pool in my eyes and I continued. "That's why it's so hard for me to believe that you're being so kind to me for no reason other than to get to know me...it's like my very own personal nightmare of my mind spinning and epic confusion."

At this point he had turned his body towards me to listen intently.

"I haven't had sex in over a week, and my body throbs for release. How pathetic is that? But I'm trying to stop because I want to be worthy of someone like you. I want to be worth your time and effort. Especially since you're my best friend's older brother, god." Tears started to fall and it was like word vomit at this point. I couldn't stop.

"You make me feel weird. From the moment I met you my chest gets tight, my stomach clenches and my head spins but in a good way, just being in the same room as you. You're so kind and the way that you and Taehyung clicked today just proves that you are just as pure hearted as he is."

I looked away and swallowed thickly. "How could man like you, look at an over ridden and hung to dry girl like me, and still want anything to do with me?" I sniffled and wiped my nose with the back of my hand and before I could wipe my tears away, Jin's hand had cupped my cheeks pulling me to face him as his thumbs did the work for me.

"Are you done?" he asked.

I took a deep breath and nodded. "Yeah."

Then before I knew it he pulled my face into his and kissed me softly on the lips. I was in such a state of shock I barely moved. His lips moved gracefully across mine and after a moment, when I gained my composure, I started to kiss him back. It wasn't a lustful kiss, it wasn't heavy. It was soft and gentle and he rubbed my cheeks with his thumbs as he held me firmly to his face.

He was like a drug. All my negative thoughts, all my insecurities seemed to float away as I drowned into his kiss. I leaned more into him and he moved his hands from my face to my waist pulling me into his chest. I allowed one of my hands to reach up and grip the hair on the nape of his neck kissing him back. It was too short of a kiss when he pulled back. I was breathing a bit heavy from just had been crying and he was smiling at me. His eyes hypnotized me as he leaned forward again placing a quick soft kiss on my lips again.

"I still want to take you out to dinner."

This isn't real. This...this is a dream...a very long...very deep dream...that my imagination came up with to tease me. I was too close to him to think straight, his nose was touching mine and as he spoke his lips grazed mine, me longing to feel the pressure of his kiss again. I swallowed hard and with everything I had I pulled away from him taking my hand off his neck. He held on to me by my waist and when enough space was between us, I meandered up the courage to ask.

"Why?"

"Because I like you...so far anyway." He laughed. He let go of my waist and leaned back laying on my bed. "And your bed is stupid comfortable holy shit."

"How can you completely ignore everything I just told you?" I was determined to not let this just fly under the radar.

"Honestly, because that's all part of your past. I'm hoping that I've showed enough interest where you are uninterested in the other men you've been with. Hopefully you will allow me to take you on a few dates before you decide whether or not you like me in return."

"Dates? As in...more than one?"

He opend his eyes and sat straight looking at me. He place his hand on my check softly and his eyes were a little sad. "As no man ever doted on you?" I shook my head.

"I don't date."

"You, don't date? Or you won't date?"

"Don't."

"Does that mean you won't go on dates with me?" he asked taking his hand away. I couldn't help but to smile at his cute pout.

"I think I can make an exception." He laughed and leaned in again to kiss me. It wasn't a long lived kiss, but it was playful and perfect. When he pulled away his smile was radiant.

"I should probably go." He said, not quite moving yet.

"You don't have to." I said in a shakey voice.

"As much as I'd love to, I'm not sure that's a good idea. We just met."

"You're my best friend's brother...I doubt you would do anything to me I wouldn't concent to."

He raised an eyebrow. "Oh yeah? Like what?"

I blushed. "I just meant that I have a big bed, and Oliver and I don't mind company."

"Oliver?"

I pointed toward the window were Oliver was sleeping on his high top bed/scratch posted. His eyes went wide and he looked back to me. "You have a cat?"

I nodded. "He's my soulmate."

"Hmmmm. Competition." Jin laughed. "Well, if you don't mind, I wouldn't mind sleeping here."

I grabbed a shirt and a pair of boxers that Tae left here handing htem to him. He raised a questioning eye brow. "They are clean, and they are Tae's. We've had a lot of sleep overs over the years so I have a few pieces of his clothing." He nodded and got up to the bathroom. While he was in the bathroom I ran over to my closet and quickly changed, taking my bra off, throwing on a tank top and a pair of shorts. I was standing by Oliver petting him softly when I heard Jin come back into the room. He was shirtless and I let out a harsh breath looking at his very lean, very tone chest. He was pale and his skin looked soft, but before I could appreciate him too much,  there was a hard knock on the door echoing through my apartment. I let out a deep sigh starting to walk over to the door.

"Wait." Jin said with a mischievous smile. "Allow me."

He walked over to the door and opened it still shirtless. "Can I help you?"

"Uhh..."

"Are you looking for my, Noona?" he asked in a sweet voice.

I could see that it was Spencer at the door again and he was a troll in comparison to Jin's tall, muscular, glorious figure. But he nodded just the same. "Sorry." Jin started. He leaned over and whispered. "She is no longer available for your mediocre attempts of pleasure." He leaned back up and added, "You can go now." And shooed him away with a flick of his wrist.

Without hesitation Spencer turned his heel and walked so quickly it was almost a jog away from my apartment building. Jin shut the door and turned to me with a smirk. "That was fun."
