''Home sweet home,'' Yoora thought as she walked into her apartment, throwing her bag onto the floor without a care, she immediately jumped onto the sofa, snuggling into the soft material.

''Looks like you missed being home, huh?'' Minji chuckled as she shut the door, twisting the lock and placing the keys on a nearby table.

''Hell yes I did,'' Yoora mumbled into the cushion.

She spent 4 days at the hospital, despite laying in bed at all times she was exhausted, all she wanted was to take a long nap in the comfort of her own bed.

''Yoora, I'm going to fetch some food for us, will you be okay on your own?''

Yoora nodded as she sat up, hugging her knees she closed her eyes, letting herself relax.

Minji left, slamming the door shut, leaving Yoora all alone.

She suddenly grew anxious, her mind drifting to the events that continued to haunt her at night. Her stalker, the man who taunted her, caused her to develop extreme paranoia, was apparently still roaming the streets. It scared her tremendously, what if he came back to finish what he started?

She tried to calm herself down by thinking about happy memories of her and her friends, laughing and bickering, being carefree and throwing food at each other instead of consuming it. She felt herself blush as she thought about Yoongi.

She licked her dry lips as she remembered the kiss, the kiss. He kissed her.

She was internally screaming as she covered her face with a pillow, letting out a quiet screech.

"I can't believe he kissed me," she thought, letting herself smile genuinely for the first time in a while.

She remembered how attractive his eyes were up close, how sensational his lips felt on hers, how his hands on her body made her brain melt. She could never forget the wonderful feeling of kissing Yoongi.

Yoora jumped up as she heard loud knock on the door. She slowly got up, tip-toeing to the door, she cautiously opened it.

Her eyes went wide at the sight in front of her.

''Yoongi?" she said, awestruck.

''Surprised to see me, kitten?" he purred as he leaned against the doorframe, pursing his lips at the flustered girl.

''I-I guess, uh,'' she stuttered, feeling embarrased by the boys sudden appearance.

Yoongi ruffled her hair, making it awfully disheveled as he let himself in, closing the door behind him.

''Did you miss me?" Yoongi asked, his lips curving into a wide smile.

Yoora turned around to face him, her messy hair falling onto her face as she stared at him, still dumbfounded.

''O-Of course not,'' she said as she looked away.

Yoongi chuckled as he leaned against one of the counters in the kitchen.

''I came to talk to you, Yoora. I owe you an explanation, don't I?" he spoke softly as he ran a hand through his hair.

Yoora made her way towards the counter, knocked out of her faze completely with a serious look on her face.

''You do,'' she admitted, sitting up into the countertop beside him.

Yoongi fumbled with his fingers, unsure of where to start.

''So,'' he started, clearing his throat. "Kibum, that's the name of your stalker, my brother. He's 3 years older than me, mentally ill, spent his teenage years in a psychiatric hospital. On my 16th birthday, he was released, my family was so happy and welcomed him home. However, they regretted ever taking him back when... '' he trailed off.

Yoora looked at him with curious eyes.

''What did he do?'' she asked quietly.

She was scared to hear the answer, yet she was too curious to let it go.

Yoongi gulped.

''He killed my- our mother, Yoora. He murdered her in cold blood, all because she got mad at him for a stupid reason,'' he explained, his voice slightly cracking.

Yoora's expression softened at the visible sorrow etched onto his face. She took hold of his hand and squeezed it gently, ''I'm so sorry, Yoongi,'' she whispered, on the brink of tears.

Yoongi gave her a weak smile as he squeezed her hand in response.

''It's not your fault, Yoora. Luckily nobody witnessed the murder, but my dad and I discovered the body, I still have nightmares to this day,'' he said, averting his gaze from Yoora's crying face.

''Before the police could catch him, Kibum escaped, taking all of his belongings, he disappeared without a trace. Nobody could find him for the past 2 years, so I was petrified to see him that night with his hands on you, I-'' he took a deep breath, ''I was so scared he was going to hurt you.''

Yoora felt her heart break at the sadness in his voice.

''But you saved me, Yoongi," she said, scooting closer to him."You saved me and I'm so grateful, thank you, Yoongi,'' she whispered as she pulled him into a hug, wrapping her arms around his torso.

Yoongi hugged her back, wrapping his arms around her waist he pulled her closer to him, feeling her body warmth against his form, her scent filled his nose, her tears soaked his shirt. He didn't want to let go, he wanted to stay like that forever.

He knew she felt safe in his arms and that made him want to hold her close to him forever, so she didn't have to be afraid of anything or anyone, he wished for nothing more than for her safety and happiness.

''You don't have to thank me, I'll always be there for you to save and protect you,'' he said softly as he buried his face into the crook of her neck, his hot breath hitting her skin, causing her to squirm in his grasp.

''Stay like this, just a little longer,'' he mumbled.

Yoora felt the blood rush to her cheeks instantly, but complied anyway, not moving a muscle as Yoongi smothered her with his body.

Yoongi pulled away after a while, carefully studying Yoora's flustered face. He found her adorable when she was flustered, her rosy cheeks and pouty lips making her even cuter than she already was in his eyes.

She was beautiful, to him, she was the most fascinating and asontishing woman he's ever had the pleasure of meeting. The way she made his heart skip a beat with just one word or look in his direction, the way her hand fit in his perfectly, the way her lips felt as if they were made for his, he couldn't deny any of the overwhelming feelings deep inside of him anymore.

He truly loved and cared for her, for the first time in his life he fell for someone, completely and utterly. He knew there was no going back, once he admitted to it, he couldn't simply take it, nor did he want to.

''I see I still have the same effect on you, hm?'' he murmured, watching her bite her lip out of frustration.

''N-No you don't,'' she retorted, crossing her arms childishly.

''Oh, babygirl, don't do that,'' he said quietly.

Yoora looked at him with a perplexed expression.

''Do what?'' she questioned.

Yoongi's eyes wandered over to her plump lips as he spoke, ''Don't bite your lips like that.''

Yoora raised an eyebrow at him, an amused smirk on her face.

''Like this?" she teased as she chewed on her lip.

Yoongi felt his cheeks heat up, watching her continue to tease him.

The way her teeth tugged at her roseate lips made his heart flutter.

''Yes, stop that."

"Or what? What're you gonna do, hm?'' she smirked, winding him up.

He grabbed onto her hips with his hands, holding her in place firmly.

''You leave me no choice,'' he muttered before smashing his lips onto hers, not letting her protest or utter a single word in response.

His lips moved against hers in a sloppy motion, she didn't hesitate to kiss him back just as sloppily and hungrily. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him even closer, deepening the kiss.

Yoongi broke the kiss as he pulled away, gasping for air. Yoora wiped her lips, her breath coming out in loud pants.

''Again,'' Yoora demanded, followed by Yoongi's lips meeting hers once again as he obeyed her order.

This time, Yoongi stuck out his tongue, sliding it along her lower lip, asking for entrance. Yoora gave him permission as she opened her mouth, letting his tongue explore the inside of her mouth. Their tongues fought for dominance, ultimately Yoongi won as he passionately continued the make out session.

This time, Yoora broke the kiss, her oxygen deprived body begging for air.

They both stared into each others eyes, an unspoken conversation seemed to be taking place. No words were needed to express what they were feeling, lust and passion hung in the air.

"Yoora," Yoongi whispered breathlessly.

''Hm?''

"I love you,'' he said softly, his finger tracing her lower lip.

She couldn't control the butterflies in her stomach or the intense beating of her heart as she heard those words leave Yoongi's mouth.

She smiled at him, taking his finger away from her lips and softly placing a kiss on his hand.

''I love you too,'' she confessed.

Yoongi leaned in for another kiss, licking his lips hungrily as he got closer and closer, however he flinched away when the front door flew open, a humming Minji barged in with a bag of take away food.

She nearly dropped the bag when she saw Yoora sitting on the counter with a flustered Yoongi standing beside her, flashing her an awkward smile.

''Oh my..." she trailed off as she covered her mouth in shock.

Yoora slid off the counter and ran towards her, taking the bag of food from her and placing it on the table, she put her arm around her shoulder, letting out a nervous laugh.

''Wow! You're back early, aren't you?'' Yoora commented, trying her best to distract her best friend from the scene she walked into.

Minji didn't budge as Yoora nudged her in the rib with her elbow.

''Oh, my god, ARE YOU GUYS TOGETHER!?'' Minji shouted, pointing at Yoongi who didn't move from his spot.

Yoora nervously scratched the back of her head.

''U-Uh, what are you tal-''

''YOORA! Your lips, they're swollen, you guys totally made out, didn't you?'' Minji exclaimed as Yoora nervously licked her lips.

''Minji, calm do-''

''I called it, I ship it so hard,'' she squealed, jumping up and down excitedly.

Yoora let out a sigh as she facepalmed, meanwhile Yoongi made his way towards her, snaking his arms around her waist, back hugging her.

Minji gasped at the scene right in front of her.

''What's our ship name, Minji?'' he asked with a smirk as he lowered his face, his lips grazing Yoora's ear, causing her to blush a good few shades of red.

''Crap, I didn't think of that! Your names are too similar,'' Minji said with a pout.

''That's too bad, hm, kitten?'' Yoongi muttered as he blew a puff of air into Yoora's ear, causing a shiver to run down her spine as she quickly pulled away from his grasp.

''Get away from me, p-pervert!" Yoora exclaimed as she took off one of her sneakers, aiming it straight at Yoongi who made a break for it. The two chased each other around the apartment, accidentally knocking down objects and tipping over a trash can as they jumped over furniture.

Minji couldn't stop laughing at Yoora who chased after Yoongi with her shoe, determined to knock some sense into him.

''Man, they're so cute, I knew they were going to end up together," Minji said under her breath with a smile spread across her face.
