Chapter List
Chapter 40. Words Just Don’t Help
The car ride home was silent. Lexi had managed to grab shotgun and left Taecyeon to sit in the back with the rest of their little group. Lexi didn’t look, nor say anything to Asuka as she drove them to Yuki and Ana’s apartment. Asuka knew exactly why, and she wasn’t about to bring up that topic with her roommate any time soon.
“Hey, can we stop by your apartment first?” Taecyeon asked Asuka. Everyone in the car turned to look at Taecyeon.
“Uh…yeah I guess. Why?” Asuka asked in confusion.
“I-I left something…important behind,” he replied. His answer strung together rather awkwardly.
“And you only remembered now?” Nichkhun asked with annoyance evident in his voice.
“Y-yeah, so?” Taecyeon retorted.
“Just saying.”
Asuka pulled up in front of her apartment and the van remained silent. Confusion filled the van as the occupants remained in silence and not in motion for the next five minutes.
“Um…aren’t you getting off, Taec?” Asuka finally said something.
“Yeah,” he simply replied.
“Then why are you still sitting here?”
“Well, I don’t have the keys now do I?”
Asuka sighed, “Lexi, keys.” She opened the palm of her hand out to her roommate.
“What, where’s yours?”
“I didn’t bring them,” Asuka retorted casually. Lexi sighed and didn’t want to argue with the girl and handed her house keys over. “Thanks,” she turned around to face Taecyeon. “Come on you,” and with that the two made their way up into the apartment.
Asuka unlocked the apartment and stepped inside, followed by Taecyeon.
“So what was it--” her words were cut off by a pair of lips and a body crushing hers against the now closed door.
“--you wanted?” she finished her sentence as Taecyeon pulled away from her.
She blinked and coughed due to the awkward situation she was put in and Taecyeon just held that stupid grin. Asuka gave him a look, asking him to explain. Taecyeon just shrugged and reached his left hand to the right of her and locked the door, pulling the keys out and dropping them on the little table beside the door.
She shot him another look to which he just smirked and leaned in closer towards her ear.
“No interruptions, just you and me tonight.” His tone was different from his usual greasiness, and she was taken aback by the sudden seductiveness in Taecyeon’s voice
Her breath hitched but she tried to cover it with a scoff and a roll of the eyes. His tone was clouding her thoughts. She didn’t know how she was supposed to respond. Her usual blunt demeanour had now gone out the window as she found herself struggling to breathe and string a full sentence together. Unintelligible words were all that came out as soon as Asuka opened her mouth. What had gotten into her?
“What’s wrong?” Taecyeon mocked. “Do I make you that weak in the knees?” Asuka swore his voice went down two octaves lower.
She scoffed, “No,” and turned her gaze away, ignoring her quickened heart rate.
“Really?” he paused, as if waiting for a reply but nothing. “Then why are your legs shaking?” She gave Taecyeon a swift kick to the shins. He rubbed his left leg and sent her a glare.
“I don’t even know what made me like you in the first place,” he muttered.
“J-just hurry up and get what you wanted,” she snapped at him as she ignored his comment.
Taecyeon scoffed, then that smirk returned to his lips as he pressed his body against hers more forcefully than before, and lifted one of her legs to wrap around his waist.
“What if I already got what I wanted?” he teased, causing her to clench her fists even tighter.
Get a hold of yourself A, don’t give in. Just a little longer. She didn’t understand why she was torturing herself like this. Well she was trying to torture Taecyeon, torture being the operative word, but it seemed like those omnipotent beings suddenly decided to side with Taecyeon.
Asuka tried to keep her gaze steady on his, but the way his hands were moving up her thigh were not helping. She swallowed her words and gave into the temptation as she pulled her face towards his and pressed her lips on his, hard, all the while mentally cursing at herself.
Taecyeon silently celebrated as Asuka gave in and took it as his cue. He lifted her up, pressing her up against the door to keep her up as she wrapped her legs around his waist. He began to trail soft kisses down from her mouth and stopped at the crook of her neck.
Nuzzling into her neck he muttered, “I love you.”
Pressing her palms against Taecyeon’s chest, Asuka pulled away. Her eyes widened and were crossed between a glare and a shocked expression.
“W-what?” Her voice cracked.
“Uh…”
Taecyeon was trying to figure out himself what he had just said. He had always loved her, but he just never thought he’d say it aloud to her anytime soon. Especially given her personality and mind-set on the sort of subject.
“What did you just say…?” She asked carefully, saying each word slowly.
Taecyeon paused before replying, “What did you hear?”
He crossed his fingers in his mind, hoping that she didn’t hear what he had said. Although there was a little part of him which hoped that she did, and that she’d reply with what he wanted to hear.
“N-nothing,” she lied. “I must be hearing things.”
A rattle at the door caused Asuka to jump, Taecyeon catching her in his arms causing him to put her in a princess lift. Their eyes met briefly before the door knob rattled again.
“Dammit, it’s not opening.” Asuka recognised Lexi’s voice from the other side of the door.
“Oh right, I kinda stole her keys.” Asuka tried to say as lightly as possible. Taecyeon didn’t respond, still carrying her in his arms.
After one last knock and rattle, it stopped and they heard the footsteps go further away, until the apartment was filled with silence.
“I think they’re gone.” Asuka said.
Taecyeon didn’t say anything; instead he just let the girl down and walked towards the balcony. He slid the door open and stepped outside.
Maybe the omnipotent beings weren’t on his side after all.
Lexi tried once more, twisting and turning the doorknob. “Why did I give her my keys?” she mumbled.
“I bet she and Taec planned this all,” Nichkhun added, seemingly unfazed by everything.
“I don’t blame them,” everyone turned to look at Junsu. “What? It’s Taecyeon and Asuka, what do you expect from those two?” The rest mumbled in agreement as they made their way back down to the van, deciding on what to do.
“Guess you’re driving, Lex,” Ana commented as everyone filed into the van, Junho taking shotgun due to the pushing of his hyungs.
“I am so getting her back for this,” Lexi muttered under her breath as she turned on the ignition.
“Huh?”
She turned to Junho and shook her head, hoping that he didn’t understood what she said. She moved out of the parking space and drove towards Yuki and Ana’s apartment.
Lexi was going to make sure she got Asuka back for this, good. She may be exaggerating on some minor issue as locking her out of her own apartment for Asuka’s own selfish personal reasons (although she knew it was that toothy rapper’s fault) this was also payback for all the other situations she had gotten Lexi into. This four-day trip wasn’t just going to be fun because 2PM were going, but Lexi was going to torture that roommate of hers, and she was going to make sure Asuka would never forget it. This is gonna be fun.
