Jang 21.


˝How are you feeling?˝

˝Like someone sat on me˝

˝Well sorry I was sleeping!˝- Padme huffed

˝I wasn't talking about you! Idiot˝- Jiho huffed back.

˝Do you think Aria will choose Jihoon?˝- the new voice chimed in. Taeil was lying on the couch, a fluffy blanket over him. Jiho and Padme sat in the armchairs, take out in hands, chop sticks clicking.

˝I don't honestly know...˝- Padme confessed.


Aria breathed out slowly. She waited for Seung-hyun's reaction. He just stared at her and slowly his hand rose to the buttons of his shirt. One button was released and then another

˝Love is a war I intend to win˝- he said sliding his shirt down. His pants followed at an antagonizing slow speed. Aria took the sigh t of his naked body greedily. Lean and toned, caramel skin. Her eyes followed to his muscles lower to his midriff, eyebrow raised

˝I see you're prepared for war˝- she teased.

˝You can't fight un armed˝- Seung-hyun said with a smile, inching closer. He sat next to her and grabbed her hand pulling her closer. She was sure he could feel her racing heartbeat.

˝Will you let me?˝- he whispered in her ear making her shudder in anticipation ˝I wish to conquer...˝

Aria laughed and pulled him on top of her. ˝Well then, let the fight begin˝- She pressed her lips on him kissing him gently. His lips were soft like velvet, tasting like honey. Aria let her hands explore his body freely, touching, feeling every inch of his soft skin. His stoic figure was nowhere to be seen, all traces of emotionless gone. His skin heated up, oozing warmth and security. Maybe this wasn't such a bad idea...- the last coherent thought Aria had vanished when he took her nipple in his hot mouth. Aria's back arched...


˝You seem pissed˝- Seungri commented fiddling with his water bottle. He alongside with GD awaited a interview about their fashion for some random magazine.

˝I'm just thinking, you sure you only wanted sex?˝- the smaller man inquired.

˝Yeah I'm sure and I'm also sure she just wanted a distraction. Really, what's so good with them?˝

˝You mean Block b members? They know each other longer, it's just like us and 2ne1˝

˝I'm not trying to bang any of them am I?˝

˝But doesn't mean you won't ever...˝

˝Yeah, but don't we count to them?˝

˝You sound butt hurt. It's just a girl maknae˝

˝So what if I do!˝- The younger pouted. He felt used and he didn't like it. He was the damn idol, not the other way around.

˝You punched Jiho, had sex with his whatever they are, what do you want?˝

˝Them gone˝- He answered acidly. GD stared at his friend. Did he really dislike them that much?

˝I kinda like Aria, she'd different˝˝

Seungri snorted ˝Will you like her after she breaks TOP hyungs heart?˝

GD thought for a minute and then sighed ˝Honestly, I've had this talk with him already. He knows the risk, he's not an idiot, at least not completely. He's aware if she picks him there's more shit to face. They're different cultures, c'mon we use a language between ours to communicate! Maybe they don't prolong her contract. Maybe they find out they don't fit in after all. It's not that simple˝

˝But it's also not a game˝

˝He's was heading to her place, a few hours ago and still didn't text me˝

˝That's a good sign, right?˝- Seungri said taking a swing of his water.

˝I wish I knew˝- GD laughed. In the same moment his phone buzzed. An e-mail.

Don't I always get what I want?

˝Wha?˝- He stared at his phone trying to decipher the meaning behind Seung-hyun's e-mail. His phone buzzed again, another e-mail.

I'm an idiot – thekoreanlover

What did this mean? They sent him completely different e-mails. One was, put loosely, happy and the other, almost regretfully.

The fuck happened?

˝Call me˝- He hit send to Seung-hyun.

Coffee tomorrow ASAP – he sent to aria and hoped for some information from her sooner. Maybe an explanation or a rant.

˝You look like someone died˝- Seungri said with eyebrows raised.

˝Maybe someone will and I sure hope it's not me˝- GD said with a grim voice.


˝You're avoiding my eyes˝- Seung-hyun said softly from under the duvet. They lied in the aftermath of love making and Aria had mixed feelings about it. The sex was great, his body moved in synch with hers, he payed attention to her and made sure she enjoyed it and yet somehow all she could think of was the clumsy, drunk sex she had with Jihoon years back.

˝I...˝- Aria started. Seung-hyun gave a nervous laugh.

˝You're regretting?˝

˝Not really, I just have a funny feeling, it's like..˝- Aria started. She had this feeling for a while now. It gnawed on her, tormented her dreams and gave her headaches.

˝Like we're pushing something.˝- He finished it for her. Aria closed her eyes. She felt like a completed idiot.

˝You okay?˝- He asked concerned.

˝How can you be so calm about it and even worry about me!˝- She snapped involuntary.

˝How can't I be? Just because we don't work as a pair doesn't mean I don't care. I'm not a rock, I have feelings˝

˝Coudl have fooled me˝

˝Ouch˝

˝Sorry I'm...I don't know what I am honestly˝

˝You had great sex, didn't that help?˝

˝How big is your ego? Pfff˝

˝As big as that thing under the sheets˝

˝Eh could work on that˝- Aria added. Seung-hyun pinched her leg and pushed her with his hips. Aria shrieked and laughed. And just like that the atmosphere changed. The tension and guilt vanished.

˝I'll sound like an idiot˝

˝You won't˝- He assured her, chocolate brown eyes smiling at her

˝You're too good, you know that?˝

˝In bed?˝- He teased. Aria punched his shoulder.

˝Idiot. Now I won't tell you˝- She stuck her tongue out.

˝Call him, will ya? The poor pup has such strong feelings for you˝- Aria turned around and hugged him tightly. What was this man? A stone in one second and in the next...

˝You're weird˝- Aria concluded giving him a toothy grin.

˝Yeah I get that a lot˝


His phone buzzed. Jihoon mumbled curses in his sleep. He turned over knocking his stuffed toy down and looked around. He yawned and found his cell phone on the floor, screen flashing bright. Who called him in the middle of the night.

˝Mm hello?˝- he asked groggy.
