Close Enough To Kiss

Back in the room, you're unpacking, and Dani is helping. Hoping that your cousin's constant chatter will take your mind and heart off the thoughts of Yoongi, you ask, "Dani, tell me how you're doing. I want to know everything about you and World Wide Handsome."

She goes into detail, just as you had hoped, about how they met, from him delivering Lill and Hobi's first daughter to the night of chaos that resulted in Jin's accident, and then she dreamingly describes the romantic proposal.

You hug her tight, smiling. "I'm so happy for you. When are you two getting married?"

"Hopefully, soon, we're still discussing a date and must work around all the busy schedules. But he is everything I could ever dream of in a man. Oh, and he loves to fish just like I do!"

You listen attentively to Dani, but you're just a little bit jealous of her enthusiasm about being in love.

"It looks to me like he's deeply in love with you. His body language alone speaks volumes."

Dani smiles brightly. "You think so?"

"Yeah, I think so," you say as you stash your last empty piece of luggage in the closet.

Dani says, "I love him so much that it hurts. Do you know what I mean?"

You can't stop it, but you suddenly feel close to tears. "Yes, I know how much love can hurt," you turn away from her so she can't see the tears that fall.

Dani frowns, sensing your change of mood. She never knew the whole story about you and Yoongi, only that the break was bad. No one would say more. She knows you need some time alone and suggests you shower and change.

"Well, I will leave you for now. Take a nap if you want to," she says, seeing your tears and giving you a quick hug.

"Come down when you're ready and have some lunch." She pauses at the door and frowns, wishing she could do more or say more that could take away the hurt she sees in your eyes. With a sad sigh, she leaves softly closing the door behind her.

Now that you're alone, you think, I knew he would be here. Why the hell is it so hard to be near him? God, I didn't think this would be so hard.

You feel short of breath and hold a hand over your heart; it feels like it is breaking all over again. You wipe your tears, take a deep breath, and gather your things to shower. You need the time to pull yourself together before going downstairs. I may take that nap, crying always leaves me sleepy.

Outside, Tae, Jimin, and Jungkook made a detour to the car. They talked and walked around the car, admiring its lines and beauty.

"You think she will let us drive it?" asks Jimin.

"Oh, hell no," says Tae. "No one drives her baby but her and, on occasion, Lill."

Jungkook says, "I understand that. Yes, I do." He then walks around the car, admiring it. Jungkook mumbles to himself, "They both have perfect curves."

Tae, overhearing him mumble, asks, "What?"

A slightly blushing Jungkook says, "Oh, nothing, just admiring the curves." He watches as you walk out of the house in a short summer dress swirling about your legs as the breeze surrounds you carrying a camera in your hand.

You call out to them, "Jin said to tell you lunch is ready if you're hungry." You start heading down to the deck leading out to the pier. You look at your camera and try to grab a different lens out of your dress pocket.

You didn't see Yoongi coming up the pier, head down, focused on his phone. You ran into each other causing him to drop his phone and you to almost topple off into the water. But he grabs hold of you just in time.

You're close enough to kiss but just stare into each other's eyes, neither able to speak. You feel the warmth of his body against yours and memoires of nights spent together making love replay in your mind. You watch as emotions flash across his face and wonder if he is thinking the same. You whisper questioningly, "Yoongi?"

The feeling of you in his arms, your body fitting perfectly with his, automatically draws him closer. His eyes find your lips and linger, his face begins to come closer, eyes never leaving your sweet mouth. You lean into him seeking the closeness you once shared in his bed.

He starts to say something when Jungkook calls out, "You ok, Noona?" The spell shatters and you and Yoongi break apart.

You gasp for a breath you didn't realize you were holding while he picks up his phone and walks back to the house without a word to you, or them as he passes.

You sigh and turn to Jungkook, Jimin, and Tae. "I'm fine, other than a little shaken." 

You give a trembling smile at Tae. Hoping he won't notice you're about to break down you weakly laugh, saying, "That was close."

The others laugh, agreeing that it was a close call. But you can't hide your feelings from Taehyung. He tries to take your mind off of the hurt he knows you're feeling. He takes hold of your arm and says, "Tell me... what have you been up to?" as he starts walking you down the pier.

Jimin didn't miss the exchange between you and Yoongi. After sending Jungkook the 'Jimin side eye' for stopping what looked to be a kiss, he steps on the other side, takes your other arm and they walk with you down to the end of the dock. Jungkook had picked up your camera and was following close behind checking it for any damages from when it got dropped.
