I ignored his call in the end and walked back to my apartment. I walked into the elevator and pressed the top floor which was the 21st. I like being at a high altitude, especially in a building because you can see everything from where you are.

As soon as I got off the elevator and walked to my apartment, I saw Jimin waiting for me in front of my door. I sighed and ignored him, walking straight to my door and opening it.

"Look, Jinni I can explain," He pleaded while I punched the code to access my apartment. Once the beep went off, the door unlocked itself and I went in before he grabbed my arm.

"Babe, I'm sorry okay. Can you please let me explain? Please? Just hear me out at least, you can lash out on me after you hear me out," He said.

"Don't babe me," I harshly pulled my arm away from him and attempted to close the door but unfortunately, he blocked the doorway with his body.

"Baby, please," He said in a softer tone and I already knew that he's using this as my weakness. He knows that I'm weak to this.

I gave in eventually and invited him in. I asked him to sit on the couch but he ended up following me to the kitchen.

"What do you need to say? Make it quick," I said without looking at him.

"Okay, so that time when you saw me in the janitor's closet with Nara--"

"Oh you mean that time when I caught you making out with her red-handed?" I mocked him in a sarcastic tone.

"Umm close enough, I wasn't making out with her but yeah I was referring to that time. Listen, you have to believe me. I wasn't the one kissing her, she was the one who came up to me and pulled me into the janitor's closet. She did that just to get back at you for pulling her hair out--" He paused in which I glared at him and continued, "I didn't want to kiss her and I tried to push her away from me but by the time you opened the door she already lunged herself at me."

"Trust me baby, I don't want to kiss her. I don't want to kiss anyone else other than you," He came closer to me and grabbed both of my hands, planting kisses on them.

I can tell that he was telling the truth but I still have doubts whether he liked it or not.

"Do you like the kiss?"

"What? Are you crazy? What kind of a question is that?" He pulled away, taken aback.

"Just answer me and look me in the eye, do you like the kiss?"

He leaned closer to my face until we were barely inches apart and stared at me dead in the eye, suddenly making me want to take back what I said.

"No, I don't. I only like your kisses and that's it." He said, making my legs go wobbly at the mention of it.

I sighed and decided to let him go this once because I trust him over Nara the bitch. "Fine, I trust you and I forgive you."

His eyes lit up and he immediately carried me to sit on top of the kitchen island. He hugged me so tightly I can feel his biceps embracing my petite body. "Thank you."

I smiled back and brought my hands to his back, slowly rubbing it, indirectly feeling his back muscles against his thin shirt.

"By the way, who's a better kisser? Me or her?" I pulled away and teased him.

"Is that even a question?" He scoffed and paused for a second, before leaning in and connecting my lips with his. He brought me closer to him by pulling me by my ass and spread open my legs so he could slither into the space available. The next thing I knew, there was no space left between us, just two bodies hugging each other while we're making out.

He slipped his hands into the backpockets of my jeans and gave my ass a good squeeze, causing me to squeal and smacked his arm.

We had a good session of making out before he pulled away with a curious expression which confused me. "Are you still smoking?" He brought up the topic I hated to talk about the most.

"Why are you asking?" I frowned.

"So you still smoke, then?" He asked.

"No, I was just curious why you're still asking when you knew that I stopped way before this," I lied to him.

"I was just wondering," He shrugged his shoulders.

"Okayyy..." I trailed off.

"I'll see you later, okay baby?" He cupped my cheeks.

"You're going already?" I frowned as I got off the counter, following him towards my door as he pulled me with him.

"Yeah, I need to drive my brother to his soccer practice later. You're pretty lucky I'm still making some time for you. Supposedly I should have been there by now, he's going to kill me," He caressed my cheek with his chubby fingers.

"Soccer practice on a Sunday afternoon?" I raised my eyebrow.

"I know right? His team is gearing up for the regionals, they're practicing real hard to win this," He sighed.

"Alright then, send my regards to Jungyeon," I smiled as he kissed my forehead.

"Bye," He waved to me as he walked further and further away.

"Bye," I said to nobody once I closed the door.

I turned the tv on and browsed through the channels only to find that there's nothing interesting on. I sighed and walked to the kitchen, grabbing my lighter.

I noticed that my cigarette is not on the table like how it should be when I remembered that I ran out of it and just bought a fresh packet from the mart just now.

Right, I chuckled at my own silliness.

I slipped my hand into my backpocket to fish out my packet but oddly, it's not there.

That's weird, I'm pretty sure I kept it there when I was on the way home just now.

Where could it be? I inserted both my hands into my pockets to make sure that I didn't miss an inch of it but boy, it wasn't there. I shuffled my steps towards my hanging jacket in hope that I might have kept it there and forgotten about it earlier but it's not there.

Now where on Earth is my little babies--

"Are you still smoking?" He brought up the topic that I hated to talk about the most.

I sighed when the realisation hit me. I pressed my body against the lower kitchen counter as I bent down, my face flat on the marble tile. Jimin found out that I'm still smoking, took my packet when he squeezed my ass, threw it away and asked me if I'm still smoking or not, in hope that I would come clear in front of him.

But the most stupid thing happened and that is I lied to him.

My phone buzzed and I checked it to see an unexpected message.

Jimin : pretty sure you're looking for something by
              now, it's your turn to give me an
              explaination tomorrow.

I groaned and slipped my phone away from me. This is not going to be good.
