Hoku’s POV…

After telling me he might love me, and with the emotions overflowing from the necklace he gave me, I couldn’t contain myself anymore. I threw myself at him, wrapping my arms loosely around his neck before attaching to his soft lips. Immediately I knew when that spark went off, I was in love with this man, but at what price? I wasn’t concerned at the moment about that anyways. I thought he was mad about something since we was just sitting there letting me kiss him, but when I decided to pull away he quickly grasped onto my hips to keep me there. I smiled into the kiss, letting one of his hands trail up my bare arm to my neck where he held me there. His warm and soft lips molded to mine perfectly in that moment before we heard someone clear their throat. My eyes shot open in surprised before I quickly pulled away embarrassed to see the waiter smirking down at us.

“Sorry to interrupt but dessert is ready.” He mentioned causing me to blush and burying my face into his coat.

“Oh my god, how embarrassing. “ I whispered as he laughed and helped me up over to the table. There was some type of cake, drizzled in chocolate sauce next to a small bowl of what seemed to be ice cream.

“Cake and ice cream?” I asked shocked as he laughed from across the table before nodding.

“You don’t like fancy things right?” He mentioned as I laughed and nodded. After the kiss, it seemed like we have grew closer in that short time. Through the entire dessert I could feel his stares, every time I would look up, he would be smirking at me from across the table, it was adorable. Before we knew it, we had left the restaurant and were now just casually walking down the beach, with our shoes and heels in hand.

“Will you go back to the states when your group is done here?” He suddenly asked as I looked over amused.

“Why? Worried I’ll disappear?” I asked teasingly as he groaned before kicking the sand.

“Maybe, why I can’t?” He retorted causing me to smile.

“If you don’t give me a reason to leave, I may consider staying if I can get a permanent job here.” I added causing him to nod.

“Believe me, I won’t give you a reason to leave.” He added making me laugh at his cockiness.

“Will YG be ok with this though?” I asked over slightly hesitant what the big man would think about our relationship.

“He doesn’t have a dating prohibition on our group, only 2ne1.” He pointed out as I turned away nodding.

“So he’ll be ok with it?” I asked again only hearing him laugh before his fingers intertwined with mine.

“He’ll be fine, don’t worry about it. I’ll deal with it when it comes up.” He said as I turned to him embarrassed, looking to my hand in his before up to his smiling expression.

“You’re enjoying this aren’t you?” I asked narrowing my eyes causing him to eagerly nod.

“Why wouldn’t I be stoked about the girl I’ve been crushing on all month finally agreeing to date me?” He asked sarcastically while I snorted and looked away.

“I don’t know if I’ll be able to handle how big your head is getting though.” I teased making him laugh in reaction.

“Will your family be ok with us dating?” He then asked causing me to laugh and up to him in disbelief.

“Won’t know till I tell them, I guess.” I answered feeling his nervousness radiating off of him.

“My brothers know you though.” I spoke as he looked at me confused.

“They do?” He asked surprised as I smiled and nodded.

“I’ve showed them music videos and whatnot, plus I have a few dozen posters in my room.” I spoke embarrassed causing him to laugh and pull me towards him so that he could wrap an arm around my shoulder.

“I think it’s adorable that my girlfriend has posters of me in her room.” He whispered into my ear causing me to laugh and push him away.

“It’s not only of you, geez, ego booster much?” I said laughing teasingly as he whined running after me.

“What? You have the other guys too?” He asked annoyed as I laughed and nodded.

“Of course I do. Plus other Kpop groups.” I mentioned hearing him groan in annoyance behind me. I just smiled over my shoulder at his annoyed face before I held his hand.

“Oh stop it.” I said smiling at him before we began walking again.

“Where are we going?” I then asked noticing that we were getting further and further away from the hotel.

“For a walk.” He smiled as I narrowed my eyes at him.

“Where? If you’re trying to scare me, I have to warn you, I don’t do well with that.” I mentioned in a warning tone causing him to laugh and shake his head.

“I don’t care if you’re a celebrity, I got a pretty good right hook.” I said holding up my fist before he sighed shaking his head.

“We’re just walking, I promise.” He whined pulling me along with his arm around my shoulder.

We walked in silence for a while, letting the surprisingly warm water roll up our feet.

“Why did you get me a necklace? What happens if I said no?” I asked amused as he laughed before looking up to the stars.

“I had a feeling you couldn’t resist me.” He said proudly as I snorted looking to him annoyed.

“Why? Because you are the ‘oh so great G-Dragon’?” I asked irritated before he laughed and looked down to me.

“Well I figured after a certain someone told me they were sorry and then told me Saranghae.” He mentioned causing me to blush and quickly look away.

“Yes, I remember.” He pointed out as I pulled his arm off of me.

“Oh come on, don’t be mad, you were so adorable when you were snoring.” He added before I froze and glared at him.

“I don’t snore.” I hissed causing him to nervously laugh.

“I thought it was cute.” He mumbled before I sighed.

“I’m tired, I wanna go back.” I spoke turning on my heels and walking back towards the hotel. I was at a great distance from him, or so I thought before I felt his arms wrap around my waist from the back. Almost immediately I froze in place, eyes open, jaw dropped, and head spinning. He rested his chin on my shoulder, close enough that I could feel his warm and delicious breath blow across my neck, sending shivers down my spine.

“This is proof enough.” He whispered as I kept my footing.

“What is?” I asked in a shaky breath before I felt his arms around me slightly tighten.

“The way I make you feel, I make you feel nervous.” He whispered cockily causing me to snort in realization.

“Really? A line from Twilight? That’s what you’re going with?” I asked amused now causing him to laugh.

“No, it’s true. You totally froze when I hold you like this.” He whispered again causing my heart about to leap out of my chest.

“See you’re doing it again.” He whispered as I shut my eyes tightly.

“You like it when I do this, don’t you?” He asked arrogantly as I felt his nose trail up my bare neck.

Jiyong’s POV…

Finally holding her in my arms wasn’t a dream, it was reality and it felt so right. She smelt so good and it felt like her body perfectly molded to mine. I held my arms tightly around her waist, making sure there was no way for her to escape my grasp, I wasn’t letting go any time soon. I could feel her heart beat race whenever I would trail my nose up her neck, or just simply resting my chin on her bare shoulder. She was getting flustered and it was a side of her that I wasn’t used to seeing. I smiled trailing my nose up her neck again, trying to fight the urge to bite or at it before I got to her ear.

“You have no idea what you do to me.” I whispered in honesty hearing her quietly gasp in shock from my words. Finally the reason for my confusion, stress, late night drinking, and talks with the members, was now mine. Mine to have to myself, no one else was going to take her from me, no matter what. This woman was definitely going to be the end of me.
