FALLIN'

[13] Priorities

At the hotel

*Jin's POV*

Namjoon: Hey! Manager-nim is waiting inside.. took you long enough..

Jin: Yeah, right... I almost forgot that I'm not allowed to have a life of my own..

Namjoon: ......

Jin: Sorry, I'll go meet him..

Namjoon: yeah..

Sometimes, I feel suffocated..

I love what I do, but once in a while I deserve a day to myself.

I was in no mood to have an arguement with our manager.

And, to top it off, with all the thoughts of our hot make-out session running through my head, it was more difficult to have any conversation at all..

But I knew it was impossible to skip it..

I walked in, sighing, 'I just can't wait to take to a long hot shower...'

"Where have you been, Jin?", manager-nim asked, the moment I stepped inside the room..

'At a friend's house...', I replied reluctantly, not wanting to reveal my whereabouts..

But this was not going to suffice the man's curiosity. He sternly stated, "I understand, but you can't miss your rehearsals for that.. don't forget we only have the coming week.. next to that, we have our performance.."

"I understand"

Manager: "Also, why aren't you staying with others? Why do you insist on staying here when we have our arrangements?"

Jin: "I have my reasons. Are we rehearsing tomorrow?"

Manager: "Yes, ofcourse!"

Jin: "Okay. I'll be there. Sorry for the inconvenience.."

Thankfully, the interrogation session ended with that & he left..

'Atlast!'

I plopped onto the bed on my back, when Namjoon entered the room, "Hey"

"Hm?"

"how did it go?"

"...just the usual.. told him I'd be there tomorrow..."

"..mmhm...but I was asking about your date.."

"...oh...Great!", I grinned, looking at him..

"Look at you, hyung! Blushing like a kid"

"Shut up! I'm busy.. I have to text her! She asked me to inform her after I reached here"

"Oh? ... I'll be in my room then... You could use some privacy I guess ;) ", Namjoon left teasing..

I got up from the bed & closed the door to my room.

'Haah! Finally'

I dropped Annie a text saying,

"Hi, reached the hotel"

I tossed the phone on my bed & took out a white t shirt & a grey hopper from the closet, keeping it ready to wear after taking a shower..

I took off my clothes & put them in a bucket for warm wash..

I turned on the shower & set the temperature neither too hot-nor too cold.. a bit on the warmer side maybe...?

'Perfect'

With the water running through my body, I felt my fatigue washing away..

I ran my fingers through my hair taming them backwards & placed my hands against the wall, leaning in..

I closed my eyes & all I could hear was the sound of water against the floor..

As my body started relaxing, I couldn't help replaying the hot moment with Annie..

The way she bit her lips, looking at me with needy eyes,

I just can't seem to get that image out of my head..

She was almost like a wildflower, hard to control..

I started stroking my member imagining the instant I pinned her against the window, kissing & biting her already swollen pink lips...

How luscious they appeared...

I increased my pace, pumping up & down, remembering how she moaned my name when I sucked on her neck.. "Unghh..Jin..ahhh"

'F*ck! That arousing voice!... I think I'm gonna...'

I jerked off to the floor finally getting a release to the held up pressure in my abdomen..

'Damn boy! It was just the first day'

*****(...)********

After the shower, I slipped inside the covers, checking my phone for any replies..

There wasn't any..

She might be asleep by now, I thought..

I dropped her a text saying,"Goodnight, Annie."

I connected the phone with the charger & started shuffling through the pictures that we took at Granny's place..

□

Grandma & grandpa still look so madly in love with each other..

Heh :')

□

Granny looks so happy in here..

How did Annie manage to win her heart in just one visit?

□

The more I see this woman, the more amazed I am..

The way she interacted with Grandpa & Grandma, made me feel like they have known each other for ages..

I never would've guessed she grew up on her own, with no parents to guide her through her tough times..

Yet she turned out to be what she is today...

I'm sure, her parents would have been so proud of her.

Her strength reminded me of my own mother.

I still remember how eomma used to manage everything single-handedly while dad was away for work..

Annie has so many different sides to herself..

I don't know how many more I have yet to discover.

This woman was a lot more than she led on.

She has this beautiful smile plastered on her face all the time, who'd know she suppressed so much sorrow within?

I saw her vulnerability today, yet she stood strong..

'I really like her'

*********

In the morning

*knock knock*

"Mmm?"

"Hyung! We have to leave for practise in an hour"

"Huh?", I sat bolt upright in my bed, " what? It's already 7?"

"Yes! I have ordered breakfast. Freshen up & come out"

"Yeah, Joon. Give me 10"

I completed my morning chores & walked into the living room to have my breakfast..

"So?", Namjoon arched his brow, placing the food on the table

"What?", I asked nonchalantly.

"How was she?", Joon asked, placing his elbows on the table

"...you shouldn't talk while eating"

"Hyung, Not fair! If it weren't for Chang & I, you would've never asked her out"

"....um...*inhales sharply*...She's magic, Joon. I can't really explain. There's something 'bout her", I told him.

But soon I felt my mood dropping..

"What happened?", Namjoon asked.

At this point, I was wondering, 'Will I see her again? Will she want to see me as well?'

"I don't know where this will go... whether we have a future together or not... but I just don't want to let go of her yet..

She's literally the first woman who doesn't judge me by my fame..

Though I embarassed myself innumerable times today, I found comfort in her, Joon"

"I understand, but be careful. I hope you remember that we're leaving in 2weeks. Does she know?"

"No, she doesn't. I'll tell her when the time's right"

"I think you should inform her before...you know...

Make sure you don't end up hurting her or yourself. She seems like a nice person"

"Yeah"

*******

Annie's house, Morning 7am

*Annie's POV*

I woke up to the sound of my usual alarm.

Just like any other day, I rolled over, stretching my arms over my head, giving a good yawn.

"Haaa...slept like a log"

Suddenly, the incidents of last night came flashing back.

"Jin! Shit.. "

I quickly searched for my phone to see if he left any calls or messages..

I unlocked my phone to find 16text messages & 27 missed calls..

'Uh?Why so many?', I wondered.

"Don't tell me, I missed emergency calls from the hospital? s**t!"

I clicked on the notification to find 3messages & 1 missed call from Jin, but the rest where from Pete.

'Why would Pete call me so many ti.....f*ck!...F*CK! Annie you f*cking screwed up'

I left my phone & quickly rushed to Pete's house, in my pajamas..

"Pete! Open the door!", I knocked several times.

"Pete, I am so sorry. I can't even explain how much...ugh.. Pete just open up, please. Curse me, scowl at me, but just open up!"

No matter how much I called him, he didn't open his door.

I hurried back home & grabbed my phone to call him. It kept ringing but he showed no sign of picking up.

"How the hell could you do this to him, Annie!", I felt frustrated.

I opened his messages~

☆Hey beautiful, I have a surprize for you tonight!

☆When are you coming?

☆I called you but didn't get through. You okay?

☆Am worried now, Ann! Where are you? Why aren't you picking up my calls?

☆If you don't come back by 11, I'm calling 911! I knew that guy wasn't right!

☆So, you just forgot about tonight, nothing else. I'm glad you're fine atleast.

☆I'm sorry for bothering you. Goodnight & goodbye, Annie.

~I felt my heart break. How could I?

Soon, I was distracted by the sound of a car starting. I peeped through the window to find Peter about to leave.

"Peter, WAIT!", I shouted, rushing outside.

But he left before I could say something.

I stood there not knowing what to do, staring at the way he drove off.

I guess this time, I messed up real bad!
