I have been alone for majority of my life, but I was never opposed to that life. I enjoyed the silence, the peace and quiet, and the solitude. It allowed me to be at ease with myself and develop a peace of mind especially when working on my writing, and my music, that was until this boy walked into my life and completely changed it for the better. Despite the fact that he can be a stubborn little with a major attitude, he is and has always been extremely appreciative towards me. He has always treated me like treasure, some precious rare gem that constantly needs to be protected. I am his prized possession, as he is mine, and that is never going to change. 

~*~

I am just sitting at my desk with my pen in hand, furiously scribbling words across the page as they come to mind when I feel a pair of arms wrap around my waist and lips press against my cheek. I smile a little to myself recognizing the familiar scent of the boy that somehow managed to steal my heart those years ago. I let out a soft laugh, nudging the boy playfully in the side as I continue to try and focus on my writing, but the boy purposely makes it harder with all of the distracting kisses he leaves across my cheek, down my neck. I finally put down my pen, turning around in my chair as I squint at him.

"Aigoo- what are you doing? I'm trying to work," I whine playfully as he pulls away to grin down at me, chuckling lightly. 

"Baby, you have been working on this for the past couple of hours now. You need to rest," he says, giving my shoulders a gentle squeeze as I smiles warmly at me. He is always worrying about me, even during times when I tell him he never has to. I always try to reassure him that I am okay and look after myself, yet he always refuses to believe that there are times when I don't need him all the time. I love having him by my side, but I just don't want him to feel like he is constantly obligated to watch after me. He is one stubborn boy, and that's one of the things I love about him. 

"I'm fine don't worry. I always tell you this," I reassure him with a small pout. He smiles a little, bending down so he is at my height and he pecks my lips sweetly. 

"Yeah, but do I ever believe you? no."

"Yeah, because you're a stubborn butthead that chooses to worry about me over every little thing," I tease with a soft laugh. Jin playfully squints at me before suddenly lifting me off my chair and tossing me over his shoulder. I squirm in his arms, shouting his name along with profanity as my hands start pounding lightly on his back. "Let me go! Jin!"

"Nah," he simply says as he carries me into the bedroom.

"Jin! dammit, I swear to god you are so going to pay for this. You are so going to pay-" I groan as I am suddenly dropped onto the bed with a grinning Jin hovering over me, hands pinning mine above my head.

"Oh yeah? what are you going to do hmm? you gonna punish me? I can think of a few things you can do if you're considering that option," he teases, letting his hands run along my sides. I groan, trying to keep a straight face as he continues to use his charm and smile to woo me, which is something he always does. 

"You are unbelievable. I hate you," I tease back, biting back my grin.

"Mm we both know that's not true. You didn't hate me last night, or the night before," he points out, placing a loving kiss to my lips to silence my whines. He chuckles against my lips as my own begin to move against his sweetly, and perfectly like they always do. The way he can instantly just use his kisses and his affection as a ways of escape for me, making me forget about my problems and responsibilities even just for a split second, is incredible. Everytime his lips press against mine, he ignites this flame inside of me that can stay lit for days, weeks, months. He is just that amazing. I eagerly kiss him back sweetly with my hands resting against his chest, humming into the kiss as he gives my waist a gentle squeeze. The kiss ends as quickly as it starts, much to my disappointment, leaving me there with a pout on my lips. He chuckles, pecking me once more. "Now now, we can continue this later. I want you to come out with me."

I frown a little at the thought of having to leave the comfort of my own home. I'm not exactly one to want to go out too often, but when I do, I always want it to be with him. I nibble on my lip gently.

"Mm can we go later? I was hoping to stay home for a little longer and-"

"Say you're going to continue your writing and I will literally drag you out of this house by your hair. You know I will," he says with a squint.

"Okay okay I won't," I respond with a soft laugh. "I will just watch videos or something. I'm comfortable here. I also just mainly wanna cuddle youuuu," I whine, curling into his side as I cling to him. He lets out a loud laugh.

"Wow, you big baby."

"Shhh, we didn't cuddle a lot today. I wanna cuddle now," I say as I give his waist a squeeze. He chuckles lightly and kisses my forehead, nodding his head.

"We can cuddle all you want because I've missed you like crazy. I've missed you so so so SO much," he responds, kissing my temple before tugging me even closer to his side.

"Mm good," I say with a smile, planting a kiss on his cheek before moving to lay down on my back before pulling my phone out. "Wanna watch youtube videos with me?"

He nuzzles his nose against my cheek, covering my skin in light kisses as he just nods his head in response. I laugh softly as he just continues to leave kisses everywhere. 

"Jiiinnnnn!" I whine. He chuckles, pulling away a little to look at me.

"I won't really be watching either way," he responds as he kisses my cheek once more.

"Eh, it's okay. I just wanted to be in your arms anyway," I say teasingly with a small grin on my face. "A friend showed me this one video that I want to show you though. It's great."

"Mm, what's the video?"

"You will just have to wait and see," I respond as I type in the title of the video into the search bar on youtube. I grin as the video is the first to pop up among the others, and without further adieu, I click on the video and wait for it to buffer and play. I already begin to laugh just at the thought of his reaction as he watches the video because honestly, it's a ridiculously crazy video that is just way too iconic to not watch. As the video progresses, I sneak a glance at his face to see it scrunch up in distaste, only causing me to erupt into soft bursts of laughter.

"What the is this video? what are you making me watch?" he asks with a look of horror and disgust on his face.

"Heh, it's the grapefruit video."

"I- how the hek does she come up with something like this? I'm speechless. Why do you always make me watch such weird ? Oh my god, what the hell is she doing with that poor grapefruit. Yoongi!" he complains, burying his face in my neck as I continue to laugh.

"Isn't it funny?"

"No, it's disgusting! I will never be able to look at a grapefruit the same way ever again," he whines against my neck. I snort, turning off the video before grinning lightly at you. 

"Nooo it's so interesting! don't you agree?"

He suddenly attacks my sides with pokes, making me burst out in laughter as his fingers prod into my hips.

"S-stop! stop tickling me!" I exclaim, trying to push your arms away from me, but I fail epically. I squirm underneath him as I squeal and continue to push his arms away as best I can. "Jiiin! hajima!"

He laughs and finally pulls his hands away from my sides before pecking my cheek.

"I'm done I'm done. I just love to bother you," he smiles, just resting his hands on my sides as he grins down at me. I roll my eyes with a soft laugh, poking him in the stomach playfully.

"I know you do," I say with a soft smile. "So, what is it that you wanted to do anyway? you said you wanted to take me out?"

His eyes light up slightly at the idea of us finally leaving the apartment. He grins, nodding his head.

"Yes, I was hoping to just get out of here and catch a movie or something. I just really want to spend time with you."

I nod, immediately slipping out from underneath him to sit up. "As much as I would much rather stay indoors, we can go and do something. I think we've been in here for too long today anyway," I say. He grins, leaning in to peck my lips multiple times.

"I love you," he tells me. Those 3 words never cease to make my insides churn, not in an unsettling way, but this feeling is always so much more satisfying than you would think. My feelings for him are just so strong.

"I love you too you big softie," I playfully tease before hopping off of the bed to quickly get dressed and ready to go out. He knows I am not one to socialize much unless with our close circle of friends, and he knows I am not one to care much for going out into public spaces. I am just the kind of person that just wants to stay indoors, minding my own business, and focusing on my writing. It is a huge passion of mine, and something I want to accomplish in the future professionally. Once I finish getting dressed, I quickly leave the bathroom and sit on the bed to wait for my love to finish up as well. A few moments later, Jin steps out from our walk in closet once he is fully dressed, and walks over to take my hand.

"You ready?" he questions me with a warm smile that always manages to make the fluttering in my tummy even worse. I nod my head, returning the smile.

"More than ready," I say, and without hesitation, he leads me out of the apartment.

We arrive at a beautiful christmas themed park decorated with a variety of different colored lights, and rows and rows of small christmas trees that were decorated by various organizations around the area. Every year, the city decides to put up this magnificent christmas themed showcase to honor christmas and show the works and efforts of these organizations and schools, and it also works to unite a bunch of people who share the same love for the holiday. There are hot chocolate stands, as well as food stands around the park for anyone who wants to warm up with some delicious hot cocoa and warm foods, not to mention there is a christmas stage with different choir groups and bands playing every hour. Honestly, it is always worth the experience at least once so you can say you've been here. It is a tradition. I grin widely as we walk through the park, admiring the different trees and the christmas lights strung up above us.

"Wow, this place just keeps getting more and more beautiful," I whisper to myself in amazement. He gives my hand a gentle squeeze.

"It really does, but it can never match up to your beauty," he teases with a wink. I scoff, nudging him.

"Oh please, I'm not beautiful. I'm handsome. Get it right buddy."

"Oh, buddy zoning me now aren't you?" he asks with the click of his tongue, chuckling lightly. "You're a piece of work."

"And you aren't? oh please, dealing with you is like putting up with bratty 3 year olds," I tease with a small smirk. He gasps playfully, glancing down at me.

"You did not just compare me to bratty 3 year olds!"

"Oh, you know I did," I say with a grin, sticking my tongue out at him playfully. He rolls his eyes, suddenly taking my tongue in between his index and thumb, pinching my tongue and holding it to keep me from being able to speak. "a-ah!" I exclaim, attempting to speak and get him to release my tongue, but my words come out as muffled incoherent gibberish that only encourages him to keep ahold of my tongue. He continues to hold my tongue, clearly unaware of the stares we are getting, but he does not care. He loves to tease me publically. This pain in the .

I continue to whine, stomping my foot with a squint as he continues to hold my tongue. He chuckles, finally releasing it before wiping his hand on his jeans.

"I love grabbing your tongue, and watching you beg," he softly tells me, earning a punch to the arm. He whines, pouting down at me as I only pout back up at him with narrowed eyes.

"You . Did you really have to do that?" I ask before whispering, "in public too?"

"Oh relax, it's not that big of a deal," he says with a warm smile, draping an arm around my shoulders to pull me closer. As badly as I want to maintain my huffy puffy attitude with him, I can't. It is always so hard to be upset with him, even in just a playful manner. 

"To me it is..."

"I know I know. I'm sorry baby. I won't grab your tongue in public anymore, only privately," he apologizes teasingly with a smile before leaning down to place a kiss to the crown of my head. I roll my eyes with a soft smile as we continue to walk. A few moments later, I hear a familiar voice call Jin from behind. I frown slightly, recognizing it and once I turn around, it is exactly who I assumed it would be from the start. Really? his ex?  A while ago, Jin was in a really committed relationship way before he even met me. The relationship ended because they both wanted to see different people, and feelings just weren't the same between the both of them; everything just abruptly changed and the relationship needed to come to an end. They haven't seen one another in what feels like ages, and now his ex decides to pop up out of nowhere. REALLY? and what's worse is that I have to be here to witness this strange reunion, and fight back any feelings of jealousy. I've met the ex once a while ago at a birthday party when Jin and I first started seeing other, since they do happen to still have a friendship, but I've just never really been too fond of him. I roll my eyes slightly, crossing my arms as the other male approaches us. Jin's face breaks out into a wide grin before pulling the other male into a tight hug. "I- wow! Jae, it's been a while. What are you doing here?"

"Just here with my family. They're off somewhere," the male responds with a warm smile. I squint as I catch sight of the other male not even trying to be subtle as he checks my boyfriend out. "Wow- you um, you look good. It's been such a long time. Since your birthday party from like ages ago right?"

Jin chuckles, nodding his head. "Yeah, it really has been quite some time. How have you been doing? how are things with your family?"

"Oh you know, things are the same. Nothing's really changed other than the fact that my little sisters are going into middle school, but other than that, things are basically the same," he explains with a bright grin, his eyes finally meeting mine. Wow, how long did it take you to finally notice me here? "Oh! hey uh- yoongi was it? didn't see you there, it's nice to see you."

I force a grin, gritting my teeth lightly. "Uh huh yeah you too heh." Didn't see me here? DIDN'T SEE ME HERE? , unless your ugly suddenly lost your vision the moment you decided to approach my boyfriend, then you ain't got no right to suddenly pull that 'didn't see me here' bull. I've been standing here this whole time, hell I'M TALLER THAN YOU HOW DO YOU NOT SEE ME STANDING HERE WITH MY BOYFRIEND? headass. I am just standing here, seething as his ex decides to be petty and completely dismiss my presence. Jin gives my hand a gentle squeeze in an attempt to calm me down, knowing I am rather irritated and in the mood to attack.

"So Jin, we need to catch up."

"Yeah, we really do," Jin agrees with a soft smile. "If you have time now, we can catch up."

The male is more than eager to jump at the opportunity when he nods with a grin. "Perfect! my family is already out and about, so I have some time to kill."

"Awesome," Jin happily responds.

I grumble slightly under my breath, releasing Jin's hand to shove my own into my pockets. The thought of having to watch my boyfriend and his ex make friendly conversation in front of my very own eyes makes me sick to my stomach. I resist the urge to say something rude, so I force myself to keep my mouth shut as they already begin making their way over to a bench to sit and talk. I sigh softly, immediately feeling awkward and uncomfortable as they start catching up, barely noticing me there since they are just so invested in some stupid topic I don't care to join in on. Moments pass by and they're still talking, sharing giggles and jokes as I am just sitting there, trying my best to ignore them, but it's just way too hard.

30 minutes later, I stand up from the bench before clearing my throat, earning their attention.

"I uh- I don't feel well Jin. I think I'm just gonna head back," I say with a soft frown.

"What? okay, I'll take you back if you don't feel well, love-"

"No no you guys stay here and catch up. I don't want to take you away from whatever it is you guys seem to love talking about," I say with a forced smile and laugh. "It's fine really! I'll just catch a cab back."

"Baby, you know I don't feel comfortable with you taking a taxi back on your own at this time of night..." Jin softly says.

"Its okay, really."

"Yeah, Yoongi's a big boy. I'm sure he can handle a 10 minute taxi ride," Jae butts in, trying to lighten up the mood with his joking tone, but it only makes my blood boil anymore. 

"It's 20 minutes to be exact actually," I bluntly tell him, not a hint of a smile in sight on my face. Jae coughs lightly, grin fading as he realizes I am clearly not in the mood for his . He finally decides to keep quiet. "Anyway, don't worry. I'll be fine. I always am."

"Yoongi-"

"Don't worry about it," I say before leaning down to give his cheek a small peck. I wave to them before quickly heading out of the park to catch myself a cab. Once I do, I let out a sigh of relief as the thought of finally being in the comfort of my own home comes to mind. The vehicle starts moving, and I just lean my head against the window, sighing softly as the image of Jin and Jae getting all cozied up at such a romantically looking setting just sinks in. Rip...

I am just sitting on the bed, looking over my writings before editing a few things when I hear the click of the lock and the door open. Deciding not to look up and just focus on my writings, I hear my love's voice as he enters the apartment.

"Hey babe, I'm home," he says, walking over to kiss my cheek sweetly. I force a small smile, just keeping focused on my work. Jin frowns slightly at my behavior, instantly sensing the sour mood I am in before gently removing my notebook from my hands.

"Hey, I was working on that..."

"I know baby, but what did I say about working too much?"

I shrug my shoulders. "I already took a break with you. It's time for me to work again."

"Baby...I don't even think you had a nice time on your so called break. You didn't look the least bit relaxed"

"Yeah, watching your boyfriend and ex invest themselves in a conversation that clearly doesn't even involve you kinda does that to you," I bitterly respond with an eye roll. Jin sighs softly, placing my notebook on the table beside him.

"So that's what this is about. It's about Jae huh?"

I simply shrug, sighing softly. "It doesn't matter. I'm just happy you had a nice time I guess..."

He immediately kneels down before me, cupping my face in his hands as his worried gaze reaches my own. "I'm not happy if you aren't, you know that. Your happiness is the most important to me."

"I-I am happy don't worry. I was just jealous."

"Love, there's absolutely nothing to be jealous over. He and I are way over. Have been, and always will be. Why would I go for him when I have someone like you by my side?"

"I mean...why wouldn't you? he's handsome, charming, I guess he has a friendly enough personality. I mean, he's got it all, and what do I have? I'm just a possessive and antisocial brat with a short temper."

"Whoa whoa whoa, don't you dare say something like that again? what do you have? the hell kind of question is that? you are one of the most compassionate and warmest people I have ever met. You're so gentle and kind, and you're straight forward with anyone that ever crosses you the wrong way. I admire that about you. You're passionate about your music and your writings, you mind your own business, and never try to involve yourself in unecessary drama. You're independent, and you never let anyone get away with doing you wrong, or the people you care about. You're incredible, and I've never been so in love with anyone until I met you. Sure, you can be a stubborn brat sometimes, but I love that about you. All of those little things you do just make me love you even more"

I blink, looking at him with a small hopeful look.

"Yeah?"

"Of course baby. You're my prized possession. I've told you this many times," he says, caressing my cheek a little.

"I-I know I just can't help but feel insecure sometimes..."

"Well, you have nothing to worry about. He has nothing over you," he replies, kissing my forehead gently. 

"Really?"

"Mmm yes really."

I crack a small smile. Jin leans in and pecks my lips over and over, earning a soft laugh from me.

"There's that laugh that I love so much. Keep smiling yeah? I never want to see you frown, especially because of me."

I nod my head slowly. "I'll try my best..."

"And please please please try to refrain from killing any of my exes. I saw you earlier, and I knew you wanted to attack him and claw out his eyes," Jin points out jokingly. I burst out laughing, shaking my head with a soft grin. "I don't need my boyfriend to be locked away behind bars anytime soon, yeah?"

I grin, nodding my head. "Mm fine, I'll try my best, but no promises," I tease with a wink.

He ruffles my hair with a chuckle before pushing me down onto the bed lightly, hovering over me as he kisses me softly.

"God, I love you."

I smile, reaching up to brush my fingers along his cheek. 

"I-I love you too."

And that is when he seals our lips with a sweet and gentle kiss.
