Until You | Kim Seokjin ??

Jin's POV

"I can hear the wheels in your head running wild! Stop!" I said as I pulled Yoona down on the bed. Although she sat facing me, she refused to look at me. "Yoona, look at me."

I let out a sigh when she continued to stare at her fingers, ignoring me. I took her face in my hands and planted a kiss on her forehead, hoping to wipe away the creased lines that formed whenever she was lost in her thoughts. 

She instantly looked up at me, blinking her eyes in confusion, as if she was having a hard time figuring me out. "Jin, where is this going?" 

"What do you mean?" 

"One moment, we are all upon each other and the next, you are pushing me away. I am trying not to overthink here but you aren't helping me with all your mixed signals!"  

"I am not pushing you away. I am just trying to get a hold on myself before things get out of control." I tucked the loose strands of her hair behind her ear. "I don't know why you have this effect on me. You distract me to no end. I keep going over all the things I want to talk to you about in my head but one look at your lips and I am a goner." 

I watched her eyes go wide and her cheeks turn a deep crimson. I laughed as my thumb rubbed against her cheek. "Have I ever told you that you look like the cutest tomato I have ever seen when you blush?" 

"Tomato?! Just as I was wondering when you became this smooth with the ladies." She shook her head in disappointment. 

"What do you have against tomatoes?" I pretended to be appalled at her dislike towards tomatoes. "It's hard enough for them to live in the constant state of identity crisis, wondering forever if they are a fruit or a vegetable! They don't need your dislike to add to their misery!"  

"Seriously, Jin?" 

"I am kidding! Not funny?" I asked when I saw her looking at me unamused. 

"Jinja!"

I smiled hearing her call me that. It was a stupid nickname but I loved it when she called me that. "Alright! I'll stop! So what I was trying to say was I am not pushing you away because I want to distance myself from you. I just want to have an adult conversation with you without attacking you like some teenager." 

I leaned forward, our foreheads touching as I whispered to her, "Seeing how I fail every single time is a testament to how irresistible I find you." I had leaned in with the intention of just teasing her but seeing her blush and unconsciously bite her lower lip made me almost forget that. "God! You are beautiful!" 

"Jin!" Yoona pushed me away playfully and ducking her head in embarrassment. 

"See what I mean! Anyway, on a serious note, we haven't really talked about important things, especially when it comes to the two of us. I know that things seem like they are going quite fast. We went from not talking to each other to doing things that Namjoon apparently considered blackmail worthy."

"No! Why did you have to remind me?" Yoona whined, her hands covering her face. "Also, I never stopped you from talking to me. You avoided me on your own accord." 

"Wait, what? You told me that you didn't want to be friends with me anymore!" 

"I was angry! You should have understood that I wasn't serious!" she exclaimed.

"You are saying that now! You would have hated me had I tried to approach you then."

"Hmm. That's true." Yoona nodded her head after a lot of deliberation. 

"What! Woman, you are making no sense!" Am I the only noticing the lack of logic?

Yoona just sighed and shook her head, laughing at me for not understanding that she was just pulling my leg.

"I wouldn't have hated you though. I never hated you. In fact, like I told Yoongi -"

"'Hate is the opposite of what drove me to take that decision'. Something like that, right? Perfect timing. Let's talk about that. You can't avoid it a second time," I said, slightly nervous about where the conversation was heading. 

She took a deep breath, her eyes absently focused on her fingers which were fidgeting with the hem of her top.

"I am not sure how to explain all this without overwhelming you. Like you just said, things are going quite fast. It should be too soon for me to feel the way I do and I didn't want to say anything because I don't want to freak you out. I mean, I don't want you to feel pressured."

"It can be a lot to handle considering we just met each other. I know it's not the same as meeting a new person because we knew each other from all those years back but it's almost like meeting for the first time because I am not the same Yoona and you aren't the same Jin. You already know that I liked you back then and you said that you used to like me too. Now, I know that doesn't automatically mean that you will like me now. I mean, sure we shared a kiss and stuff, but it could have all been an 'in the moment' thing. Our first kiss was quite spontaneous too. Maybe we just respond to each other like that, on a physical level. Not that I'm complaining."

"Right, so... anyway, I would completely understand if you don't feel anything for me beyond just our friendship. But, it feels like you do feel something for me. I could be way off the mark, though. I don't want to complicate-"

I placed my hand over her mouth, stopping her flustered monologue. 

"I love you."
