Chapter 10: Late Night Talks
Everyone bustled around the dinner table as usual while Yoongi and Jungkook busied themselves with their significant other. Emily finally understood why Jin had avoided her but the creeping feeling of sadness never left her. She loved Yoongi with her all but that doesn't mean she loved Jin any less. 'Ugh why are you thinking about Jin at this time now? You're dating Yoongi and he loves you.' Emily mentally scolded herself as Yoongi subtly pulled her closer to him as they ate.
The further they got in their relationship, Yoongi resorted to secretly hugging her or pulling her close since the members wouldn't stop teasing him for the love he showered Emily with. Whereas Jungkook proudly held Teresa close to him and fed her, smiling when she shyly chewed the food. Jin felt horrible for his coldness to Emily even after now he can look at her without the pang of sadness bursting inside him.
Night eventually came around as Yoongi disappeared into his room and locked the door. Yoongi had simply ran off after displaying all sorts of affection to her just hours before, left Emily to feel a bit awkward. However the maknae line quickly came and pulled her into their group. Emily and Teresa laughed loudly as they danced along with the hyper maknae line. Namjoon and J-hope grabbed to Jin to go with them and join the group.
"Coincidentally" Namjoon accidentally placed Jin next to Emily. Emily smiled warmly and welcomed his presence, eager to have him back in her life ever since she started dating Yoongi. Jin felt his heart skip a beat when Emily flashed him an adorable smile, he was quick to return the favor and began doing his traffic dance. Emily laughed heartily and mimicked his movements. Jin found it endearing that she laughed so easily with him and was willing to dance stupidly with him.
Jin, being egged on by her hearty laughter and sweet smiles, he moved closer to her and slowly switched to a more powerful dance. Emily's jaw slightly dropped as Jin did a hip thrust and popped his body. Emily couldn't stop giggling and blushing as she accompanied his movements, thinking of it as innocent fun and pulled away. Namjoon smiled sadly, seeing Jin's interactions with Emily.
Jin suddenly broke into a fit of giggles with her as they took a seat, to calm themselves. The others continued dancing and laughing as Jin and Emily tried to calm themselves. They were lost in their own world, as they tried to meditate to stop laughing. Emily took a deep breath as Jin followed suit only to both of them bursting out laughing as they saw each others' strained faces.
Jin tried to practice his beatboxing as they sat with their backs against each other, Emily couldn't hold in her laughter hearing the ridiculous sounds that came out of Jin's mouth. "Jin oppa shut up!" Emily said in between laughter as Jin breathed heavily.
They all fell to the couch, euphoric and drained out of energy. Teresa landed next to Jungkook but he was quick to pull her onto his chest. Jin landed on the corner with Emily's hand in his as they turned to each other smiling widely. Jin still felt angry with himself at letting Emily slip away, now he could only love her from afar and watch her walk away in another man's arms.
Emily noticed his slight change in demeanor as she cupped his cheeks and furrowed her eyebrows. "Jin oppa what's wrong?" Emily asked in a caring tone as Jin got himself lost in her eyes. Jin found himself inching closer as Emily slowly shrunk back. "Sorry. I don't know what I was I doing." Jin apologized quickly as his mind wandered. 'I wonder how it would've felt like kissing her..No No Jin stop thinking like that! Why did she have to be so sweet?' Jin mentally scolded himself, but he couldn't blame her. Her caring nature was one of the reason that had drawn her to him.
Emily blushed as the others focused on the TV, she checked the clock and realized it had been a few hours that already passed by. 'He must be hungry, I'm gonna make him some snacks.' Emily thought with a smile as she called out to Jin. "Jin oppa can I borrow your kitchen for a bit?" Emily asked cutely which made Jin smile. "Sure just make sure to clean up after yourself." Emily quickly nodded and began making Yoongi's favorite snack.
Jin looked on with envy and for a second he wished Yoongi didn't exist. He loved Yoongi with his whole being but he also couldn't fool himself of his feelings for Emily. His mind began to wonder, what if Yoongi never existed and he had Emily all to himself? 'I wonder how that would've been like..' Jin trailed off in his mind, imagining if Emily ran off happily to cook for him instead.
The image brought a smile to his face but his smile slowly dropped for reality sunk in and crushed his dreams. Emily finished and knocked on Yoongi's door. Waiting patiently on the other side while Yoongi groaned angrily and opened the door. His hair was a mess and his expression clearly displayed to her that he was stressed. But she didn't expect him to snap at her as she inched back. "What do you want?!" Yoongi instantly regretted his words and his tone as soon as they left him, but it was too late to take them back.
"I-I'm sorry I didn't mean to bother you. I was just worried that you might be hungry so I made these for you. Good luck with your work." Emily said hastily and pushed the plate of food into his hands, running off while trying to stop her tears. "Jagi! I didn't mean it like that." Yoongi called out but it was too late. Guilt piled up in him as he stared at the pile of blank papers.
His stress level escalated on top of feeling guilty for snapping at Emily when all she did was care about him. He took a bite of the cookie and smiled softly. "Aish that little girl." He sat in his seat, contemplating whether to bring Emily into his room and have her help him. The image of her scared and sad face made the decision for him. 'I can't let her be scared of me. I can't have that kind of image towards her.' Yoongi thought as he walked out to Emily being comforted by the others.
Emily was successful at not letting the tears fall but her sad expression kept them worried for they heard how Yoongi snap at her. "It's okay he's just stressed. He didn't mean to yell at me." Yoongi heard Emily defending his horrible treatment towards her which he found endearing until he witnessed Emily patting Jin's arm as he gave her a side-hug. Yoongi quickly whipped back around and went back into his arm.
The others finally went to bed as Jin stayed with Emily in the living room. "Jin oppa, you can go to sleep. I'll just watch TV or something." Emily offered at which Jin shook his head and brought out spare blankets and pillows. "I'll stay out here with you. We can talk or do anything." Jin assured her as Emily smiled gratefully. She swooped in to pull him in a tight hug and rested her face against his chest. "Thank you Jin oppa, you've done so much for me."
Jin smiled and gently placed a kiss on her head and inhaled the scent of her hair before they pulled away from each other. Emily leaned back and focused on the TV in which Jin did the same. "Jin oppa.." Emily called out hesitantly as Jin whipped his head in her direction. "Yeah?" Jin answered softly and his features displayed care and love.
"If I hadn't said yes to Yoongi oppa, what would you have done?" Emily asked directly as Jin's eyes widened. "How'd you find out?" Jin whispered frantically as Emily went pale and hid her face as Jin slowly came to a realization. "Hobi told you?" Emily gripped Jin's hands in hers as she nodded. "Jin oppa please don't blame him. I was beyond upset when you began ignoring me and giving me the cold shoulder, so I asked Hobi oppa to talk to you for me and he told me everything."
Jin's face softened as he fought his internal battle, he didn't want to betray Yoongi but was it wrong to confess to the girl he loves? "Emily I..."
