I turned and left him there, walking out of the main entrance of the hospital. I knew roughly where I was. And while I hadn’t lied and I did need to buy some new bras, I also wanted to go to speak to my guys, and I didn’t want to do it with my arms laden with shopping bags for lingerie. None of them would have minded, I knew that, but it wasn’t the smartest thing to carry into Atlantis Entertainment.
My security pass still worked, but I went to the reception desk first to see if and when Holly was free as I wanted to speak to her while I was here too. She wasn’t free for a few hours, which gave me the opportunity to seek out Onyx.
I had no intention of making this a regular occurrence as they had a job to do, but all six of them had made me promise to let them know how the first scan went. Plus, I had something else I needed to talk to them about.
They were in the dance studio. I could hear the dull beat of the music, but nothing more than that – the studios were well soundproofed.
Watching them, mimicking their choreographer step by step – it was like I’d had a flashback to the first time I’d ever met them. Here, in the same studio. Their hair color had changed several times over since then, but damn. I would never get tired of watching them, or the sweat running down their bodies. I pulled at my collar. The air-conditioned hallways were suddenly feeling warm and stuffy. This wasn’t really the time to be getting all hot and horny.
It felt like I had been standing there for ages before they finally took a break. As the choreographer made a beeline for the door, I darted back down the corridor, trying to act like I hadn’t been staring at six of the hottest men on the planet for the last hour. She walked past me, not even giving me a second look.
The moment she disappeared, I opened the door. “Kaaaaaaaate!” JongB cried, leaping over to me like a prancing gazelle before wrapping his sweaty body around me.
“How did it go?” Youngbin asked as the others joined me.
I nodded. “Good. Everything looks good so far. They’ve taken some samples and are going to run some tests-”
“Why? What’s wrong?” Jiwon demanded.
“I would guess that’s the anemia screening,” CX replied for me. Reading all those pregnancy books was paying off.
“Yes,” I confirmed. “It’s standard,” I added, seeing several concerned faces. “The doctor also said that it was too early to tell what the sex of the Baby Gem is, which I was expecting, but I’ve told them I don’t want to know.”
“And the due date?” MinMin asked.
“January 8,” I replied.
“That’s not that long away,” CX said, wiping his hands on his pants.
“That’s enough time to have two comebacks,” Youngbin told him, clamping a hand on his shoulder. “But if we get an invite to the end of year shows, we might have to decline this year.”
“You don’t-”
“I don’t have a problem with that,” Jiwon said, cutting me off and giving me a pointed look.
I held my hands up, refusing to argue. I had other things to discuss. “Look, I had something I wanted to talk to you about before your choreographer came back.”
In an instant, Xiao was at my side, his arm around my waist as he held me against his hip. “What’s wrong, tián xīn?”
“I accidentally saw Sungmin naked,” I blurted out.
JongB rolled his eyes. “Is this like the time he kissed you?”
MinMin wrinkled his nose up. “That clearly wasn’t a kiss, so how do you see someone naked, but not see someone naked? That makes no sense.”
Jiwon let out an exasperated sigh. “Fuck’s sake. I don’t care what you do with the others, Katie, I just don’t need the details. I’m going for a drink before SoonQ comes back.”
He walked out of the room, leaving me staring after him in disbelief as MinMin and JongB continued to squabble over the semantics of accidentally seeing someone naked or not.
“Enough!” Youngbin snapped at the younger members. When they fell silent, he looked at me. “What happened?”
“I knocked on his door, but I didn’t think he heard me over his music, and when I went in, he came out of the bathroom, naked,” I explained, trying, and failing, not to call that image back. I could feel my cheeks heating up.
“How did he react?” Youngbin asked.
“He ran back into the bathroom,” I said, confused. “Why are you all taking this so well? Why is Jiwon getting pissed because I’m telling you, not because it happened?”
“Hyung, SoonQ will be back soon,” MinMin muttered.
Youngbin pulled out his phone and nodded. “Tell her I’ll be back soon. I’m going to talk with Kate.”
I felt like a naughty schoolgirl as Youngbin took my hand and led me out of the practice studio. If this had been Jiwon, I’d probably be getting a little excited at this prospect, but instead, I was apprehensive.
He led me to the far end of the hallway and into a much smaller practice room. No sooner had the door clicked shut, he was pushing me back against it, pressing his body up against me as he claimed my mouth.
The ‘talk’ was forgotten about as he locked the door, the click echoing around the room. He pulled me away from the door, not breaking the kiss, as he moved us further into the room. With it being so small, the only window was in the door.
Youngbin stepped back, his lips redder than normal as he smirked at me. “What are you doing?” I asked as he tugged my top off.
“Multitasking,” he said. His lips were back on mine before I could ask what he meant, and then his tongue was on mine.
He pushed me backwards until my back collided with something almost ice cold against my hot back. A mirror. I gasped and his tongue dove deeper as he pressed his already hard cock into me. Suddenly, there were too many layers of clothes in the way.
Hands reached behind me, unclasping my bra and allowing it to fall to the floor. Youngbin’s hands covered them, squeezing gently. He pulled back and looked at them. “They’ve grown,” he said, appreciatively.
I let out a soft moan as he ran his fingertips over my already hard nipples. “I’m underwear shopping later.”
He looked up at me, licking his lips. “I want photographs.”
“Youngbin-” He gently pinched my nipples and I arched my back in pleasure. “Done.”
A hand slid down my stomach, dipping under the elastic of my leggings and underwear. “And the panties.”
“I don’t need-”
A finger stretched out along my already wet slit. “Thongs.”
“Fine,” I gasped.
“Good girl,” he beamed, dipping his head to suck on my nipple.
My body shuddered at his touch. Hell, at this point, I was prepared to do a full strip show and get myself off in a changing room just for him.
And then he stepped back, frowning.
“What the hell?” I asked, my eyes going wide.
“I really did come in here to talk.”
I folded my arms and stared at him in disbelief. “You’re kidding, right?”
Youngbin took a step back. “We were talking.”
“Youngbin, are you serious?” I spluttered.
“Sungmin likes you.” I stared at him, and then dropped to the floor, scooping up my top. “What are you doing?”
“I cannot have a conversation about Sungmin while I’m half naked.” I pulled the fabric over my head, not appreciating the sensation as it pulled down over my sensitive nipples. “Your pillow talk sucks.”
“You’d rather we had this conversation after I make you cum?” he asked, arching an eyebrow.
“Look, I’m down for a lot of things. If you all decided you wanted to take me right here, I’d be game. I don’t mind if that’s just me, or if MinMin is busy sucking CX off at the same time because it’s hot as hell,” I told him as his eyebrow seemed to disappear further into his hairline. “But talking about someone who isn’t part of this is…”
“Do you want him to be?”
So help me, my mind i
mmediately conjured images of both Sungmin and Youngbin with their hands all over my naked body.
“Well, that answers that,” Youngbin shrugged as though he could read my mind.
“It answers nothing,” I disagreed. “And it’s irrelevant. You make it sound like I’m not happy or satisfied with you. And Xiao. And Jiwon. And JongB. And MinMin. And CX. But I am, I am the happiest, most satisfied woman in the world. And probably the luckiest.”
“That doesn’t stop you from having feelings for Sungmin too.”
“And if I don’t?”
“Then you don’t. We talked it through, and we want you to be happy. If there’s something missing that can be filled with Sungmin,” he shrugged, stepping forward. He placed his hands on my upper arms and started running them up and down me. “Sungmin is one of us anyway, even if his surly ass doesn’t see this sometimes.”
Youngbin dipped his head, kissing my throat as his hands moved around, skipping the tops of my nipples, still straining for attention under the fabric of my top.
I closed my eyes, wondering why my body was responding so much, despite the topic of conversation. I should have felt uncomfortable. But I didn’t. Youngbin’s cock was still erect and poking against me, as though to emphasize the fact he was OK with this.
His hand went back under my panties, rubbing against my clit, making me curse in his ear. As he rubbed it between his thumb and finger, he sucked hard against my neck.
Finally, he pulled away, tugging my top back off. He lowered me to the floor before he continued shedding me of my clothes. Youngbin’s hands traced over my thighs as he stared down at me, as though trying to decide where to focus his attention.
I sat up, grabbed the collar of the basketball shirt he was wearing, and tugged him to me, kissing him hard. “You have to be back in practice,” I whispered, easing his cock out of his sweatpants. I shifted my weight, moving up onto his lap, and guided his cock into me.
His hands gripped my hips as I clutched onto his shoulders, working up and down his cock in a way which had his fingertips digging into me. I leaned over and ran my tongue around his ear, sucking hard on his earlobe.
And then it wasn’t me in charge of me riding his cock. His hands brought me down as he raised his body up, sending his cock deep into me. I tightened the grip with my thighs holding him there, my body juddering in pleasure from how he filled me.
With a strength and restraint which kept him firmly inside me, Youngbin laid me back down. He plucked my hand off his shoulder and guided it down to my clit. The other, he placed on my nipple. “I’ve got to get back to practice,” he told me, his voice harsh. “Let me see you play with yourself.”
I rolled my nipple between my finger and thumb as the hand on my clit did the same. Despite his cock still being buried deep inside me, Youngbin hovered over me, eyes flicking between my hands and my face. “You’re beautiful,” he told me as I made myself moan in pleasure.
He dropped his head, capturing another moan with his mouth. Then he shifted his weight and started thrusting inside of me. Youngbin’s eyes locked with mine through the wave of hair that was escaping the bandana wrapped around him.
Together, it didn’t take long for me to orgasm. I could feel Youngbin was close, but he pulled out before I could stop him. “It’s a bit late for that, isn’t it?” I gasped, staring at the ceiling as I tried to catch my breath.
“Huh?”
“I’m already pregnant. I’m not going to get more pregnant.”
Youngbin sat up, staring down at with me an amused smile. “No, but it’s not like you can casually hop in a shower.”
OK, he had me there. I reached for my panties and leggings, pulling them on, and then fiddled with my bra. “Pass me that?” I said, pointing to my top which lay beside him.
“Uhhh…”
I stared at Youngbin. “Please tell me,” I said, strangely calm, “that the reason you’re not passing me that isn’t for the reason I’m thinking right now.”
Youngbin rubbed his hand over his jaw before giving me a sheepish grin. “You might not want to wear that.”
If there were words for this situation, I had none. Instead, I stood and inspected myself in the mirror. After running a hand through my hair to straighten it and make it look a little less ‘just been fucked on a dance studio floor’, I turned and started walking for the door.
“Where are you going?” I glanced back as Youngbin stood, tucked himself back into his pants, and hurried after me. “You’re just wearing a bra.”
“Yeah,” I agreed. “Isn’t that what you thought would happen? Or did you expect me to stay hidden away in here all day?”
Rolling his eyes, Youngbin pulled his basketball shirt off his back and dropped it over my head. I pulled it on properly and fixed him an unimpressed look. “No shower didn’t stop you last time,” I pointed out as I unlocked the door.
Given the way he laughed at me as I walked out of the room, he was well aware of that fact.
Turning up at Holly’s office with Youngbin’s oversized basketball shirt hadn’t been my intention. Park Inhye, Holly’s stunning secretary informed me that Holly was currently busy. I took a seat as she called through. “She won’t be long,” she informed me as I sat down.
She hadn’t given Holly the opportunity to speak so I had no idea how she knew. There were some great secretarial skills right there.
About ten minutes later, the door opened and Jun, the youngest member of H3RO, sauntered out. “Kate,” he said, nodding his head at me before he walked off looking like the cat who’d got the cream.
I made the mistake of looking over at Inhye who was doing her best to look anywhere but at me and burst into laughter. I was still laughing when I walked into Holly’s office. She was on her knees, picking things up off the floor and setting them back down on the side.
“Jun, in the office, with his dick,” I declared.
She looked over at me. “I hate you. Go back to America.”
“Inhye knows, right?”
“Inhye has her own complicated love life and doesn’t need to know any details about mine,” she retorted. “But she knows enough that when certain people walk into my office that the door is locked.”
“I wonder what your father would say if he knew his daughter was getting laid at work.” I cocked my head. “Does he know?”
“The last thing I want to do is discuss my sex life with my father. I am still getting to know him. And even then, I don’t think he wants to know that I had sex in that chair,” she said as I started to lower myself into one. I stopped. “Or how Dante has an annoying habit of trying to see how far we can push it by having sex in public places up against that window.”
I turned, looking at the window which took up almost two entire walls in the corner office, giving very open and exposed views of the River Han and the buildings between it.
I turned back, my mouth dropping open. “You? Holly Lee had sex against that window.” I punched the air. “I knew Dante was filth.”
“And that’s all you’re getting out of me.” She straightened the dress she was wearing and moved to a spare seat. “That one’s safe,” she said, pointing at another, finally going bright red.
God, I loved this woman. This whole thing – the conversation, the acts themselves – they were completely unexpected for her. Good for her.
She finally looked at me, frowning. “Please tell me you and Youngbin aren’t wearing couple clothes today? I swear he was wearing a matching Lakers shirt, which, by the way, nuh-uh.”
“Not exactly.”
Holly held her hand up. “I don’t want to know, but you’re borrowing a jacket because I’m not having some super-sleuth fan seeing you coming out in that, and Youngbin not doing later and then we have front page scandal.” She let out a long sigh. “I have enough of that with Zodiac.”
“Do I want to ask?”
“I couldn’t tell you even if I wanted to,” She gave me a bright smile, quickly dismissing the to
pic. “Not that I’m not happy to see you, but I’m guessing you came here with a purpose? Oh, it’s your eight-week scan!”
I nodded. “All seems to be fine. But there’s one thing me and the doctor disagree on: I’m not staying at home. Holls, I’m bored. It’s been half a day and Onyx are going to be gone more than they’re around. I’m not saying I can’t be a stay at home mom, but I need something to be a mom for that. Until then, I’m fit and healthy and I need to work. I have a contract with Atlantis, so please put me to use. And if not, can you please let it be OK for me to tout my services elsewhere?”
“Kate, did the doctor specifically tell you to stay at home?” Holly asked me, warily.
I rolled my eyes. “No, and if he had, I would. It was a recommendation that a lot of women in this country don’t work when pregnant. I’m not that woman.”
“I have a comeback a month planned until the end of the year. I’ve also got some contacts at other companies,” Holly shrugged. “But you’ve got to promise you’re going to take it easy.”
“You are the bestest friend in the whole wide world!”
Holly flopped back onto her couch. “I need a vacation.”
제18 장
Come Back To Me
Much to my disappointment, it took three weeks for the work to roll in. It wasn’t even with Onyx. Holly had already booked my arch nemesis Park Dongjun. OK, he wasn’t my arch nemesis. I was just still bitter that he had joined us on tour. Even if that was, in part, my fault.
The closer it got to Onyx’s comeback, the less I saw of them, making me feel even more bored and alone. What started off with two or three of them returning home late at night quickly drifted down to one. It was usually for only a few hours too.
The person I saw the most, was Sungmin. And that was just weird. I’d managed to catch a snippet of conversation between him and Taeyoon organizing how they were splitting the management of the group as they were mostly at Atlantis. The end result was he seemed to be in during the evening more.
Not that I could tell. He was hiding in his room most of the time.
