Chapter 4 - The Aftermath

Chapter 4 - The Aftermath

Everything happens so fast.

Levi and Eren are pushing each other, both of them look pissed.

“Levi! Eren! Please stop!”, You scream at them and put yourself in between them. “Let’s talk outside!”, You yell because the music is so loud.

You drag them both outside and stand beside Eren. You face Levi with your arms crossed.

“What the fuck, Levi?”, You ask annoyed.

Levi rolls his eyes and says, “I didn’t like the way this guy was sucking your face and putting his grimy hands on you.”

Eren tenses up and you put your hand on his arm to calm him down.

“You don’t get to decide who I let touch me”, You say curtly.

Eren looks at you, “Who the hell is this guy anyway?”

You respond quickly, “Oh he’s just a friend.”

Eren stares down Levi, not convinced.

You face Eren, “Look, maybe we should all just go home? We’ve all had a lot of alcohol, and it’s getting late.”

Eren’s face relaxes, “Yeah you’re right. I can call us a ca-”

“That won’t be necessary”, Levi interrupts. “Our car is here. Let’s go, Y/n”

Your head snaps to Levi, anger starts boiling in your chest.

“Our? Do you two live together?”, Eren asks quietly.

You look at Eren apologetically. You start to respond, but Levi puts his arm around your shoulder with a smug look.

“Yeah we do. Not that it’s any of your fucking business”, Levi responds coldly.

Your eyes widen and you shove Levi’s arm off of you, “What the hell is wrong with you, Levi?”

You rub your temples and sigh, “Eren, I’m sorry. I lied. Levi is actually my bodyguard. I normally keep that a secret because it’s safer that way. I didn’t want you to get the wrong idea since Levi has decided to be an asshole tonight.”

Eren responds, “Bodyguard? Why do you need a bodyguard? So he’s not a jealous old boyfriend?”

You laugh harder than you expect, “Trust me. He’s not my boyfriend, he’s my bodyguard.”

You look at Levi and he is glaring at you.

“Listen, I can explain everything another time. I’m exhausted, but I promise you Levi is just an employee of my father’s. That’s why he pulled you off of me. He is here to protect me”, You look at Levi, “But clearly he made a mistake.”

You walk over to Eren and smile, “I’m really sorry, but I promise I’ll make it up to you.”

Eren smiles and pulls you in for a hug, “I’m going to hold you to that.”

What you don’t see is the way Eren and Levi are glaring at each other.

You pull away and kiss Eren on the cheek, “See you on Monday.”

Levi follows you to the car and you both get in. Your driver immediately puts up the partition after seeing what was going on outside. You text your friends that you’re safe but that you’re going home.

You turn to Levi who is looking out the window. He honestly looks bored.

“Care to explain?”, You ask annoyed.

Levi doesn’t even look at you. He just says, “Tch.”

“Oh hell no. Don’t give me that”, You grab his face and make him look at you. “What the hell was that?”

Levi’s eyes widen for a split second at your boldness, but then pushes your hands off his face.

“I shouldn’t have to explain myself. Your father pays me to protect you, I was doing my job”, He says annoyed.

You roll your eyes, “Eren is my friend and he was no danger to me. I’m pretty sure I made that obvious by the way I was kissing him.”

Levi scoffs, “I don’t think your father would like how much he was grabbing your ass.”

Your face becomes red and you can feel your blood start to boil. You have had it.

“My father has no say in who I kiss or who I let touch me! Do you know how long it’s been since I’ve had sex?! You just ruined my chances of getting any tonight!”, You scream at Levi.

You immediately cover your mouth with your hand, your face turns red.

Levi’s eyes are wide, clearly shocked at your sudden outburst.

His voice was quiet, “You were going to have sex with that guy?”

You nervously say, “Uh well yeah.”

You look at Levi and are unable to read his expression. You’ve never seen him look like this before.

“What?”, Your voice barely above a whisper.

Levi looks at you softly, “Isn’t that the kind of thing you save for someone you care about?” He waits a moment before continuing. “I’m not saying you have to love them, but at least get to know them more. I didn’t think you were that kind of a person.”

That statement makes you snap your head in Levi’s direction.

You chuckle coldly, “You don’t know me, so stop shaming my decisions. I can fuck whoever I want to. In fact-” You grab your phone out and text Eren, “I’m inviting Eren over tonight so you might want to sleep with headphones. I’m loud, really loud.”

Levi looks dumbfounded by your suggestion. Once he realizes what you say he huffs and crosses his arms.

“You are so childish, Y/n”, He says and looks out the window.

You don’t respond, but immediately regret your immature decision when you see Eren’s response that he’s on his way.

Why am I so stubborn? Why is Levi getting under my skin so easily?

Your car pulls up to your building, and you both exit and head to the elevator inside.

Once in the elevator Levi smirks, “Maybe I’ll invite that little red-head over sometime.”

You’re immediately annoyed by this comment and respond, “Do whatever the fuck you want, old man.”

You stomp out of the elevator and into your home. Maybe inviting Eren over wasn’t such a bad idea after all.

You devise a plan, and text Eren to see if he was interested.

After his encounter with Levi, he was definitely down to mess with him.

While Levi was fixing a snack in the kitchen, you hurriedly go to your room and get out your favorite pair of lingerie. It’s red and has a lot of lace, but it covers your boobs and lower region. It’s a thong so your ass is out, but since that’s what caused all the problems tonight you figured it would be fun to show it off.

You do a quick fix of your hair and makeup. You’re about to walk back into the living room but you notice your heart is racing. Why? It’s just Levi. He’s been annoying the shit out of you all night. He deserves some payback.

You take a deep breath and you walk out of your room. You walk to the kitchen and act oblivious to your seductive outfit.

Levi chokes on his water, “Woah what the fuck, Y/n?!”

You look at him innocently, “What? I’m starving.” You continue to dig through the refrigerator, trying to conceal your smile. Levi has a front row view of your bare ass.

“Putting some fucking clothes on!”, He yells.

You grab some grapes and close the refrigerator, “Nah I don’t think I will.”

Levi shoves you against the counter and puts both of his hands on your bare ass.

He whispers softly in your ear, “Don’t tease me like this, Y/n. It’s not fair.”

Levi pulls his head away from your ear, and you stare into each other's eyes. You couldn’t breathe.

At this moment, Levi looks so gentle. You start leaning your head closer to his, and you notice a faint blush creep over his cheeks. You would let him take you right here right now.

Although it seems like fate is not in your favor. As soon as he cups your face with his hands and starts to bring you closer, the doorbell rings.

You both jump and Levi is immediately on alert. You put a hand on his chest to calm him down.

“It’s just Eren”, You sigh.

Dammit. Why did you have to invite him over?

Levi looks down, “Oh.” He turns to walk away.

You start to grab his arm, “No wait, Levi. I don’t want hi-”

The doorbell rings again.

Levi turns to you, any affection is completely gone. “Go get the door. We wouldn’t want to keep your boyfriend waiting.”

You argue back, “Levi you know he’s not my boyfrie-”

The doorbell rings a 3rd time.

You sigh and put on your robe that was hanging in the closet by the door. You open the door and see Eren smiling.

“Hey! I came as soon as I could”, He responds shyly.

You push through your disappointment and say, “I’m glad you could make it! Come in.”

Eren comes in and takes off his shoes and jacket. You lead him to your bedroom, Levi’s bedroom door is closed but the light is still on. You both walk into your bedroom and you sit on your bed.

“Listen, I’m sorry but I was pretty drunk when I texted you. It was stupid and immature, I’m sorry if I’ve wasted your time”, You say while looking at the floor.

Eren walks over and sits beside you, “Spending time with you is never wasted time for me. We can just hang out and watch movies if that makes you more comfortable.”

You look up at him and smile, “Yeah I’d like that.”

You walk to the bathroom and change into your pajamas. You come back out and see Eren take off his shirt. You notice that he’s only in his underwear.

He jumps at the sight of you, “I’m sorry! I only sleep in my underwear, I was going to get under the blankets before you came back.”

You smile and walk towards the other side of your bed, “It’s okay, you just surprised me.”

You both get under your blankets, and you turn on Netflix.

“What do you feel like watching?”, You ask.

Eren thinks for a moment, “How about Zootopia?”

You start laughing and search for the name. Once you find it your press play, you both are just awkwardly sitting in your bed.

You scoot closer to him, “Do you mind if I make myself comfortable?”

He smiles, “Not at all.”

You both lay down and you rest your head on his chest. He began gently rubbing circles into your arm, his steady heartbeat lulling you to sleep.

You wake up to warm arms wrapped around your stomach. You feel Eren’s chest pressed up against your back. You turn to your back and look at his peaceful face. He’s such a sweet guy. Not many men would snuggle you in your bed all night without trying anything.

You poke his cheek. He lets out a cute noise, you can tell he doesn’t want to wake up.

“Eren. Wake up it’s 10 in the morning”, You whisper.

He slowly opens his eyes, when he looks at you he smiles and snuggles into your neck.

You giggle, “Let’s get up. I’ll make breakfast.”

He whines but lazily rolls out of bed. You put on your robe and he slides on his sweatpants, deciding to stay shirtless.

When you walk into the living room you see Levi sitting at the table with a cup of tea. He looks pissed and is scrolling through his phone.

“Good morning”, You whisper and walk to the kitchen.

Eren sits at the couch and starts going through his phone.

“It was pretty quiet last night”, Levi says to Eren.

Eren looks up from his phone, “What of it? Are you some kind of a pervert?”

Levi rolls his eyes, “No I’m not a fucking pervert. What did you two do last night?”

Eren smirks, “Do you really want me to spell it out for you? I think you already know.”

You walk in and say, “Enough! Nothing happened. We cuddled and watched Zootopia until we fell asleep. Now stop glaring at each other.”

Levi looks at Eren, “Tch. Zootopia? What are you, a child?”

Eren snaps back, “Why are you so interested in what Y/n does with me anyway? You are her bodyguard. It seems to me like you might have inappropriate feelings for your client.”

“Why do you care so much about my intentions with Y/n? Doesn’t look like you’re her boyfriend, asshole”, Levi snaps.

“Okay! This conversation is done. Neither of you are my boyfriend, so both of you need to stop being so possessive. I’m my own person and I can do whatever the hell I want. Eren, last night was honestly amazing and I can’t wait to hang out again. I made you some breakfast on the counter, you can let yourself out when you’re done.” You smile and start walking to your room. “I’ve got a date with my bed and Netflix so I’ll talk to you guys later!”

You walk into your bedroom and close the door. You can hear the confusion by your sudden outburst and you giggle. You jump into bed with your breakfast and turn on your favorite show. You spent the rest of the day doing what you do best, absolutely nothing.

Next Chapter

Chapter 8 - A New Friend

The car ride to the convention was pin drop silent. Yesterday after your phone call with Sasha, you had your driver take you to In-And-Out. Thankfully, you were able to quickly sneak out without Levi noticing. As you were driving away, you saw Levi running towards the car. It was too late though, he wasn’t able to catch you.

As soon as you got back, Levi was waiting on the curb for you. He gave you a tense lecture for about an hour. Honestly you were barely listening. Afterwards you spent the rest of the evening in bed watching tv.

Your phone buzzed, bringing you out of your daydream. Sasha was just checking in to see how you were doing. You lied and said that you were 100% better. You told her that you had been drinking so that’s why you were so emotional. Obviously that was a lie, but she didn’t push you on the subject.

You spent extra time on your appearance this morning hoping that it would make you feel better. It helped a little with your confidence, but you couldn’t deny the hurt you felt deep inside.

The car pulled up to the convention center, you got out of the car and went into the building. Not bothering to wait on Levi, you knew he would be tailing you anyway.

The first few sessions were boring. You really just weren’t in the right headspace for this. Thankfully, Levi watched over you from a distance today.

It was finally time for lunch and you were starving. You grab the salmon platter and head to a table alone. You sit down and start eating. Your anxiety starts creeping in, you can feel your body start to get overheated. Even as an adult, you can’t help but feel like a loser because you’re eating alone. All of your insecurities start creeping in and it feels like everyone is staring at you. Just as you’re starting to consider leaving, someone pulls the chair beside you and sits down.

You look over, relief immediately washing over you. You don’t care who it is, you're just glad to not be alone anymore. The man sitting next to you is very tall with blonde hair and noticeably thick eyebrows.

He looks at you and offers you his hand, “My name is Erwin Smith. I’ve been meaning to introduce myself. I’m one of the senior managers at your dad’s company.”

His smile puts you at ease and you shake his head, “It’s good to meet you. I’m Y/n.”

Erwin laughs, “Yes I know.”

You blush and internally cringe. Of course he knows your name, dumbass.

“I think I could be helpful to you as you begin transitioning into our company. I would like to be friends if you’re okay with that”, Erwin says sweetly.

You smile, “Oh yes of course! Thank you so much. Everyone already has their groups of friends, so it’s hard to meet anyone. Especially when you’re the CEO’s daughter. I think everyone is afraid of me.”

Erwin chuckles and puts a reassuring hand on your shoulder, “Don’t worry. I’ll help you meet everyone worth knowing.”

You spend the next hour getting to know Erwin. You don’t take his kindness lightly, you’re extremely grateful to him. Little do you know, a grumpy asshole has been staring daggers into the back of your head this whole time.

Erwin leans over, “Hey, are you and Levi a couple?”

You stare at him shocked, “Uh no. Why would you think that?”

He laughs, “No reason. I was just trying to figure out why he’s been glaring at us this whole time.”

You immediately turn your head around and your eyes meet Levi’s. He’s clearly pissed.

You turn back around and roll your eyes, “He’s technically my bodyguard, but he’s more like a pain in my ass.”

Erwin lets out a loud laugh, “I like your sass. Most people are intimidated by him.”

“Well I’m not most people”, You say teasingly. “Wait, how do you know Levi anyway?”, You ask.

“Oh Levi and I go way back. I’m actually the one who recommended him to your father for this bodyguard position”, Erwin says.

Your eyes open wide, “Wow really?

Erwin smiles and asks, “Is it hard to imagine Levi and I as friends?”

You giggle, “If I’m being honest, yes. You’re so kind and open, and Levi is so...wounded.”

Erwin raises his eyebrows, “I don’t know if I’ve ever heard someone use that word to describe Levi. Scary and stubborn are normally what people describe him as.” Erwin ponders the word for another moment, “It seems that you have seen right through Levi. Right to his very core. I’m very defensive of Levi, you see. Most people don’t give him a chance because of his cold demeanor. But if you even spend one second truly looking at him, you’ll see a bird who’s wing is broken. He’s wounded.”

You don’t acknowledge the tears that are threatening to fall onto your face.

You whisper, “I just wish he would let me in.” You wipe a tear and chuckle, “I must look so stupid. He’s my bodyguard after all. He could have any woman in this building if he wanted. Why did I think I even stood a chance.”

Erwin looks at you with concern, “Did something happen?”

You hesitate but choose to trust Erwin, especially knowing that he would never intentionally hurt Levi.

“Well, we kissed and did...other things”, Your face starts to redden but you continue, “Afterwards he was very cold to me, and when we got back to the hotel room he said that it was all a mistake. That it shouldn’t have happened.”

Erwin pinches the bridge of his nose in frustration, “That idiot.” He is quiet for a moment before starting again, “What if we test him to see if his real feelings for you come out?”

You look at him curiously, “What do you mean?”

Erwin smiles mischievously, “What if we act like we are starting to become romantically interested in each other? I know Levi, and if he truly has feelings for you he will become jealous immediately.”

You ask, “You don’t think Levi will be upset when we tell him it was a joke?”

“I think he’ll be more grateful that we helped him realize his true intentions”, Erwin says confidently.

You agreed to the plan, and you both casually talked while finishing your food. Your Dad soon approaches you, and Levi decides to also come over when he sees your father.

“Y/n! I’m glad to see you’ve finally met Erwin! Handsome fella, isn’t he?”, Your Dad asks with a smile.

You blush and remember your plan, “Yes he is, Dad.”

You don’t notice Levi’s eye twitch at your answer.

“Well, Y/n, I wanted you to come with me so we could discuss your plans for the rest of the day”, Your Dad looks to Levi, “There’s no need for you to come along since I will have my guards with me. Take the next few hours off to relax!”

Levi argues, “Sir I disagree. I don’t think I should be separated from Y/n.”

Your Dad responds, “Oh nonsense! She’ll be just fine.” He motions for you to follow him, “Come along.”

You walk after your father, but stop to look at Levi. He looks pissed and doesn’t break eye contact with you. You manage to pull your eyes away from him and catch up to you Dad.

Erwin’s POV

Levi is seething as he sits beside Erwin.

“Hey Levi, long time no s-”, Erwin starts.

“What the fuck are you doing with, Y/n?”, Levi asks bluntly.

Erwin plays dumb, “What are you talking about? I was getting to know her, we are going to be co-workers.”

Levi rolls his eyes, “Cut the bullshit, Erwin. I saw her blushing and I saw you laughing. You two looked like you were on a goddamned date.”

Erwin asks, “And if we were? Why does that matter to you?”

Levi looks away, “You can’t date my client.”

Erwin pushes, “Maybe, but I can fuck her.” Erwin has no intentions of that, but he wants to see how Levi will respond.

Levi snaps his head and stares daggers into your eyes. If looks could kill, Erwin would absolutely be dead right now.

“What the hell did you just say?”, Levi continues, “Look, you’re my friend but you are really pissing me off.”

Erwin doesn’t back down, “What’s wrong with me wanting to fuck Y/n?”

Levi growls, “I swear to god if you don’t stop saying that I’m going to put my fist through your skull.”

Erwin chuckles dryly, “I don’t see why this is an issue. You used to be my wingman, why can’t you be now?” Erwin pauses and then smiles, “Unless...you want to fuck Y/n as well.”

Levi whisper yells, “Oh my god I don’t just want to fuck Y/n! Can you stop saying the words fuck and Y/n!?”

Erwin teases, “Hmm so there’s more you want? Do you have feelings for this woman, Levi?”

Levi pushes out of his seat and as he walks away he says, “Fuck you.”

Erwin lets out a hearty laugh. His plan is already working.

Y/N’s POV

“Dad, do I have to?”, You ask.

“Absolutely. I won’t budge on this, it’s very important that you have a date to the company ball”, Your dad responds bluntly.

You sigh, “Well that would’ve been nice to know considering it’s tomorrow.”

Your dad chuckles, “I happen to have a few eligible bachelors that I could set you up with.”

You shake your head, “No that’s okay. I have someone in mind.”

You sit while your dad is talking to someone else, and pull out your phone. Luckily you had exchanged numbers. You pull up his name and start a text.

“Hey, Erwin. This is super last minute, but my dad insists that I have a date to the ball tomorrow. Would you like to go together?”

Erwin responds quickly, “Of course. I’ll pick you up at 8.”

You sigh and look out the window of the building. At least you’ll have someone to dance with, even if all you can think of is those gray eyes.

Author’s Note: I'm still figuring out Tumblr, so an updated masterlist will be coming soon. I hope you enjoy the second chapter! :)

You’re surprised by how forward Seonghwa is, but you also can’t deny the sexual tension you’ve been running from the moment you met him. The way he’s fiddling with your dress strap while he waits for your answer, all while staring into your eyes. You feel the electricity in the air, it scares you, but you’re too busy staring into his brown eyes.

“Okay,” You say shyly.

Seonghwa smiles with so much endearment, “Okay.” He waits a moment and then decides to ask, “Do you mind telling me about yourself? I want to know more about you.”

You nod, “I’m a manager for a tech company, I’ve spent years working to get where I am now. I’m 35, and well you’ve met my only sibling.” You both smile at the mention of Emma. You’re not very good at coming up with fun facts so you ask, “Is there anything specific you want to know?”

Seonghwa hesitates and then asks, “Are you single? You don’t have to answer that if it’s too personal.”

You smile, “It’s okay. I am single, I went through a pretty bad breakup a little over 3 months ago. Actually, this trip was my way of a fresh start. I was tired of being sad, and my ex started officially dating his mistress. I’m ready to move past that time of my life. We were together for 5 years, but I don’t miss him at all.” You giggle and look at Seonghwa, “Is that bad?”

He laughs, “Not at all! I’m sorry that it didn’t end well, that must’ve been really hard. But look at you! In Korea, riding with me to an after party. Would the past y/n believe it?”

You start laughing, “Absolutely not! I’ve been working 24/7 for the last 3 months, but I meant it when I said this trip is my fresh start. I’m not going back to how I was.”

Seonghwa grabs your hand, “I’m so proud of you, y/n. I know we just met, but you’re really inspiring. I was completely blown away from your generosity towards the orphanage in Jinju. Now hearing what the last few months have been like for you, I am captivated by you.”

Your eyes widen as the blush spreads across your cheeks, “I-I just really enjoy helping people financially. It’s one of the major perks of my job.”

Seonghwa smiles, gently puts his hand on your cheek, and leans in, “You didn’t say anything about the last part.”

His cologne fills the air you breathe. His touch is like fire to your cheek. When Seonghwa is this close, your thoughts are less reasonable and more on instinct. How are you supposed to be making good decisions while Seonghwa is holding you like this? You thought the sexual tension was bad before, well it’s a hundred times worse now. You’re scared to move, to blink. Fighting every ounce of your body to not just jump him right here right now. You notice his other hand that’s not on you, is shaking. The thread you had left of self control snapped, and you kissed him. 

It’s not just a kiss, it doesn’t feel like one you’ve had before. Seonghwa quickly reciprocates, fully making out now. The feeling you get is unlike one you’ve experienced. Most first kisses are a little awkward with silly mistakes. Not this one. It was like your mouths were made for each other and fit perfectly. You didn’t know anything besides the fact that you needed more. The kiss has turned frantic, you both need more of each other right now. It was like a dam breaking, there was no stopping this now. 

“Oh shit! We were wondering what was taking so long!” 

You find yourself straddling Seonghwa. His arms wrapped tightly around your waist, and your hands holding his face. The two of you look absolutely horrified, and you clumsily get back into your seat. Wooyoung wished so badly that he had a camera. 

Seonghwa clears his throat, “Sorry about that. Give us a second.” Seonghwa closes the car door. Wooyoung is laughing maniacally, most likely running to tell the rest of the members.  

You both sit quietly for a moment, fully back down to earth. Seonghwa’s kiss sent you to outer fucking space. 

You decide to break the silence, “I’m really sorry about that. I’m not sure what overcame me. I’m sorry if that made you un-”

Your sentence is cut off by him grabbing your chin, pulling you in for a sweet kiss. He pulled away, but is still close and is looking directly into your eyes. 

He smooths out your hair with his hands and says, “Don’t do that. Not with me.”

You open your mouth to ask what he means, but you can’t form the words. He doesn’t even have to tell you, you already know. This is the fastest and most connected you feel to a person in this moment, and you would be lying if you said it didn’t scare you. 

Seonghwa goes back to his side of the car, “You might want to fix that red lipstick.”

You finally notice how smudged Seonghwa’s face is with your lipstick. You’re embarrassed, but it’s also kinda hot. The two of you spend the next ten minutes removing every trace of your time together. 

He sighs, “Wooyoung has probably told everyone by now. I wouldn’t be surprised if your sister knows.”

You cover your face in an attempt to hide your blush, “Oh god. I’m never going to hear the end of this.” Seonghwa chuckles and gently pulls your hands from your face, “That makes two of us. We should probably head in, I’m sure everyone is waiting for us now.”

“Alright, let's get this over with then,” You say as you open your door.

Seonghwa looks you over once to make sure you didn’t miss anything. You notice a bit of red lipstick on his neck. Your face is turning red again, but you reach out and wipe the lipstick off. 

Seonghwa has a mischievous smile, “I left that there on purpose. I wanted them to see how you marked me.”

You lightly smack his arm and whine, “Stooooop. I’m going to be permanently red at this point.”

Seonghwa smiles and kisses your cheek, “I like it.”

The two of you walk into KQ together, trying to act as normal as possible. Seonghwa explains that the party is happening in their cafeteria. You see birthday decorations lining the walls, and hear music blaring from what you assume is the cafeteria. The two of you walk in, you spot your sister sitting at a table and head for her. 

“Hey guys!” You and Seonghwa greet everyone at the table. 

Hongjoong responds, “Ah there’s the birthday boy. We were wondering if you two were ever going to show up.” Everyone at the table is looking between you and Seonghwa as you sit next to your sister. Seonghwa takes the chair next to Hongjoong, which is a few people away from you.

Seonghwa comes up with an excuse, “Yeah sorry our driver took the wrong turn, so we were stuck in traffic.”

Emma stares directly at Seonghwa, “Is that so? How interesting, we heard a completely different story from Wooyoung. Something about Seonghwa being covered in y/n’s lipstick, and y/n sitting on your-”

You cover Emma’s mouth, “Anyway! We’re here now! Let’s drink and have some fun!”

Emma removes your hand from her, and she has the biggest smirk on her face. Before she can say anything, you shoot up from your chair.

“I-I’m going to get a drink!” You manage to say as you’re walking over to the makeshift bar. 

You miss the way that Seonghwa follows you with his eyes the entire time. Emma didn’t. The rest of the table is engrossed in their conversations, so Emma catches Seinghwa’s eye and motions for him to sit next to her.

He’s sweating bullets and sits down, “What’s up?”

Emma chuckles, “I’m just going to be honest. I thought maybe you and my sister would hookup, I was actually hoping you would. I’m confused though. I’ve seen the way you look at her, the way you just watched her walk over to the bar. Do you have feelings for her?”

Seonghwa is taken back by Emma’s boldness, “Uh-I mean I really enjoy being around her. I just want to get to know her more, since we only just met tonight.”

Emma doesn’t fully believe it but doesn’t push it, “Okay. I didn’t mean to come off so strong, I was just surprised since you just met. But just between the two of us, I’m rooting for you.”

Emma and Seonghwa smile at each other, and he goes back to his seat before you come back. You’re at the bar, and decide to take another shot before coming back with a mixed drink. As you walk back to the table, you notice a girl you haven’t met before. She sits in the open chair next to Seonghwa. Something inside of your stomach drops, you already have a feeling something bad is going to happen. You sit back in your chair, and already notice that this girl is doing everything she can to flirt with Seonghwa. 

The alcohol is pumping through you at this point. You’re fully tipsy, as you continue sipping on your drink. 

Emma grabs your hand, “Let’s dance!”

She pulls you along with Nari, and the three of you walk to the makeshift dance floor. 

“Who the fuck is that girl sitting with Seonghwa?” Emma asks Nari as soon as you all are far away enough. 

Nari looks and rolls her eyes, “It’s one of the manager’s nieces. She’s been trying to get with one of the members for years.”

You notice the way Seonghwa and this girl are laughing together. Talking as if they’ve known each other forever. It makes your stomach turn. You down the rest of your mixed drink, which you already know is a bad idea but you really don’t care.

Emma is visibly annoyed, “Okay but why is he being so friendly with her? Wasn’t he just making out with my sister?”

Nari sighs, “Well the boys have to be careful with her, they don’t want anyone getting in trouble. Seonghwa is probably just being friendly, I’m more worried about what she will do.”

Your eyes start to burn, you didn’t notice that tears were forming. Nari and Emma immediately notice, and pull you so you’re not facing him anymore.

Nari tries to comfort you, “I wouldn’t worry about it, y/n. People flirt with the members all the time and nothing ever happens. I think Seonghwa is just being nice.”

Emma rolls her eyes, “Well we also feel like being extra friendly. Nari, do you know any guys who would want to dance with us?”

Nari’s eyes light up, “Oh my god you’re diabolical. Let me go find some of the members from bbtrippin!”

All you know is the music is blaring, and you are dancing on someone. Nari brought a bunch of her work friends over to dance. The alcohol hit you hard, quickly becoming drunk and having zero care in the world. The staff was well prepared for this. The room is dark, but they brought in different portable strobe lights. 

The guy who is dancing with you is one of the cute dancers from bbtrippin. Everyone is just letting go and having fun, nothing serious. The music is mainly a mix of songs that are popular, not just ateez. But the next song that started was Bouncy, and everyone went crazy. Now everyone is singing and dancing even more. Someone bumps into you, and you see it’s Hongjoong. So then you and Hongjoong start singing and dancing together. The two of you are drunk, and just having the best time. Even in your drunken state, this still feels like the best night of your life. 

Someone turned on Cyberpunk, and the members couldn’t help but get into formation. Everyone was laughing their asses off, the members were all so drunk. Obviously they weren’t in their right mind enough to sing as well, but it was crazy to see how their bodies moved almost automatically. They were all giggling so much, it was so cute. At the end, we all clapped for them as they fell into the nearest seats panting. 

Everyone is laughing and finding an open seat. You unintentionally make eye contact with Seonghwa who is sitting across from you. It looked like he was about to say something to you, but was interrupted by the girl from earlier who came and sat in his lap. He looked surprised, but didn’t immediately push her off. It feels like someone dumped ice water over your head, you feel yourself starting to sober up almost immediately. You’re not sure why you feel a pit in your stomach, it’s not like you guys were dating. You watch Seonghwa flirt openly with her, whispering something in her ear. She giggles and you stand and start to walk away, before Hongjoong stops you.

He looks concerned, “What’s wrong?”

You put on your best show, hoping he doesn’t notice the tears brewing in your eyes, “Nothing! I just have to pee.”

Hongjoong reluctantly lets you leave. You take this as your chance to get the fuck out of here. It’s 1am, so you book a car to come pick you up. Thank god Emma downloaded the app for you at the hotel. At this point you’re nearly sprinting out of KQ, you know it’s only a matter of time until your sister realizes you left. Especially since you know you weren’t very convincing to Hongjoong. Once you finally find the right car, you’re on your way back to the hotel. You decide to text Emma, now that there’s no way for her to stop you.

Hey! I’m in a cab headed back to the hotel. Sorry, I wasn’t feeling well. Have fun and stay safe! Let me know if you need money for anything. 

Emma instantly starts calling you. You feel guilty, but you also can’t talk to her right now. What are you supposed to say? You made out with Seonghwa, and then you saw him flirting with another girl, and now you’re crying in a cab. You’re sure that Emma has already figured it out anyway. 

You finally make it back to the hotel. It feels like a major walk of shame going to your room after your night. You’re embarrassed at how much seeing Seonghwa with another girl impacted you. He’s single, he’s allowed to be with whoever he wants. So why are you unable to stop the tears from falling? Maybe, somewhere in your subconscious, you were hoping that Seonghwa felt the same as you. 

The shower is boiling hot, but it feels so good. At this point, you’re not as sad but angry. Why was Seonghwa being so lovey with you, and leading you on. He said all the right things, just to go and flirt with another girl. Well whatever. Fuck him. You’re in your comfy pajamas, and crawl into bed. You can’t believe everything that has happened, and it’s only your first night of your vacation. Well one thing’s for sure, you learned your lesson from Seonghwa. You text Emma that you made it, and are going to bed.

She responds almost immediately, “I’m going to kill him.”

You shake your head at your sister’s temper, “Please don’t. It’s really okay. We are both single, he can do whatever he wants. I guess I just misinterpreted.”

The tv is on, and you’re attempting to fall asleep. Your body is absolutely exhausted, but your mind is racing. You feel like an idiot. Why did Seonghwa tell you he was interested in you, if he was just going to immediately get with another girl. Maybe he just said those things to get you to kiss him. That thought was even more upsetting, you didn’t think he was like that.

You hear the door unlocking, and brace yourself for a lecture from your sister.

“Before you start asking me a million questions, can you at least bring me water from the fridge?” You ask your sister. 

Emma doesn’t respond, but you hear the fridge open. 

You turn and sit up, “I’m really sorry I left you. I just needed to get out of there-”

You stop talking at the sight of Seonghwa standing in your room, holding a water bottle for you. 

He sounds out of breath, “You didn’t misunderstand.”

You’re shocked that he’s actually in your room right now all you can manage to say is, “Seonghwa.” 

He starts towards you but stops himself, “Do you mind if I sit on your bed?”

You sit up and motion for him to come over. He sits right next to you, his feet still on the ground. You’re surprised by how frantic he looks. 

“I’m so sorry about earlier. I was jealous that you were dancing with other guys, so I was acting like an idiot. I’m sorry that hurt you, after everything you told me about your ex-” He can’t even finish the sentence, he just puts his head in his head. 

You touch his arm, “Hey it’s okay. I overreacted. We are both single, you’re allowed to do whatever you want.”

Seonghwa looks at you with wide eyes, “Don’t say that. I know you feel the same. When we kissed- I’ve never felt like that before.”

“S-stop. Please. I can’t do this.” You say with a lump in your throat.

Seonghwa looks like he’s trying not to cry, “What do you mean?”

You take a shaky breath, “I think the way I acted tonight is proof enough that I’m not ready for a relationship. The instant connection I feel with you is scary. When I saw you with that other girl…I didn’t respond how I should have.” You look in his eyes, “I’m so sorry, I just don’t think I’m ready yet.”

A tear falls from Seonghwa’s eyes, “I fucked up, I lost your trust. Please can I have a chance to rebuild your trust in me? I’ve never felt this way about someone, y/n.”

You think for a minute, and almost give in. Almost.

“You have nothing to apologize for. We just met. Besides, I live in America and you’re all the way over here. I don’t speak Korean, and you’re a celebrity.” You collect your thoughts for a moment and meet his watery eyes, “I just think there are a lot of things working against us. I’d rather things just end things now, if I feel this way after just one kiss…I can’t start something like that. I’m so sorry Seonghwa. I just think I’ll be the one getting my heart broken at the end of it.”

Seonghwa feels speechless, his vision is blurry from the tears falling from his face. He stands quickly, surprising you. He walks to the edge of the room. 

“Well I disagree, but I respect that you need more time.” He meets your eyes, “Just so you know, the things you brought up, none of them are deal breakers for me. I already speak English, and I would make regular visits with you mandatory for my contract. Just think about it, okay?”

You respond quietly, “Okay.”

Seonghwa immediately turns and walks out of your hotel room. You fall onto your bed, and the tears immediately stream down your face. 

Five minutes later, Emma enters your room. She walks to your bed, and sees you all curled up eyes red from crying. 

She sits with you, “What happened? I gave Seonghwa twenty minutes, but he only used ten. Then when he came down, it was obvious he had been crying. Now I find you crying. What’s going on, y/n? I thought the two of you would’ve made up.”

You shake your head, “I’m just not ready to put myself out there again. Things with Seonghwa…the way I feel about him, I just need more time. Can we talk more in the morning? I’m exhausted.”

Thankfully Emma doesn’t argue, and goes to shower before bed. You turn off your lamp, and promptly cry yourself to sleep. 

You wake up to the smell of food. You roll over and see Emma standing awkwardly as the hotel worker brings in your tray of food. They speak for a moment, and then the employee leaves. 

“What time is it?” You ask. Your voice raspy from the light before. The memories quickly come flooding back, and your head starts throbbing.

Emma laughs at your disheveled state, “It’s 6pm, we slept all day.”

You groan, “Oh my god my head is pounding.”

Emma brings you over an assortment of food, as well as medicine for your headache. 

You smile, “Wow thank you. You were so prepared!”

Emma shrugged, “It wasn’t me. Seonghwa had all of this sent over. He asked me to text him when we woke up, he knew you were going to be in bad shape.” 

You are pretty shocked to hear that after last night's fiasco, but are also grateful. You begin digging into your food, and chugging water.

“So I was thinking”, Emma starts, “What if you spent the next few days in Jinju? Nari told me that the people at the orphanage are already asking when you’re coming. It seems that they are eager to show you their hospitality since you gave such a large donation. You could spend a few days away from Seoul, clear your head, and then we could meet in Namhae since it’s not far from there.”

Y/n is surprised by Emma, “You aren’t coming with me?”

Emma responds, “Only if you feel comfortable taking the train there alone. A local guide will be picking you up from the station. I was planning to spend a few more days here with Nari. We could meet up in Namhae, and then continue our trip from there?”

Well you definitely don’t want to hold your sister back, but this is rather surprising. But maybe Emma is right, it would be nice to get away from the city for a few days. Even though you literally just got here. Park Seonghwa really did a number on you. 

You ask, “You said someone will be picking me up from the train station?”

Emma smiles, “They were so insistent and excited to have you, I couldn’t say no. But yes, a local guide will be picking you up so you don’t have to do any navigation. Your train leaves tomorrow Monday morning at 8, and then I’ll meet you in Jinju on Wednesday and we can travel to Namhae together. Does that sound okay?”

Honestly, you were a little confused as to why it felt like your sister was trying to get rid of you. But you were also too exhausted to question further. You can’t deny it though, you are pumped at the idea of exploring Jinu for the next few days. The people who work for the orphanage you donated to are extremely kind as well. 

You shrug, “Sure. You are acting suspicious by the way, but I’ll go along with it.”

Your sister giggles, “Nothing gets passed you does it? This will all make sense soon enough.”

Y/n ignores her sister’s very suspicious comment, honestly you’re too jetlagged to care. You scarf down your food, and go to the bathroom to take a quick shower. 

After your shower, you and Emma make a quick stop to the 7-eleven across the street from the hotel. The two of you spend a good thirty minutes just being excited, and looking at all the different food and beverage options. You both decide to sit inside and snack on some cup noodles. 

“So how’s your head?” Emma asks.

You respond, “After the food, medicine, and shower I’m doing much better. What about you?”

Emma gives a thumbs up, “I’m great! You forget, I’m much younger so I bounce back fast.”

You scoff, “I suppose that’s true.”

There’s an uncomfortable pause followed by silence as the sisters finish up their snacks. Emma wants to ask about Seonghwa, but she can feel that y/n isn’t wanting to talk about it. This whole situation has really shocked Emma. She wasn’t expecting you to be so into him. You’re normally pretty reserved, so when Wooyoung came in yelling that you and Seonghwa were making out in the car she didn’t believe it at first. But then she saw the two of you walk in together, and she instantly realized that Wooyoung wasn’t lying. The way you look at Seonghwa, she’s never seen you look at someone like that before. Based on what Nari was telling her, this also isn’t normal for Seonghwa. He was more into flings, and relationships that weren’t going anywhere. 

Emma also will never forget the look on Seonghwa’s face when she was screaming at him. He looked absolutely panicked when he realized you had left, and that his behavior was why. Emma was ready to grill him, but his response surprised her. Seonghwa was nearly in tears when he was begging Emma to let him apologize to you. The whole ride to the hotel, he was so upset with himself. The original plan that Emma and Nari had come up with, was just for the two of you to hook up with no strings attached. Emma knew you were in desperate need of a good fuck, and Nari said that Seonghwa would be the perfect match since he’s not really into relationships. Or so they thought. 

The rest of the night consisted of you packing up the few things you took out from your suitcase, and scrolling through your phone in bed. You fell asleep around 8:30pm (thank you, jetlag). You wore something cute but comfortable to the train station. Emma was nice enough to come with you, so at least you didn’t have to navigate yourself to the station. 

“Alright I think you’re all set! The train leaves in 15 minutes, so that’ll give you enough time to get situated,” Emma says.

You smile, “I’ll see you on Wednesday, and no more surprises after this okay? I think I’ve had enough for a lifetime since getting to Korea.”

Emma laughs, “Of course. Just remember, keep an open mind. I know how stubborn you are, but maybe just this once see where it goes before shutting it down completely.”

You look at your sister confused, “Okay now I’m even more suspicious. What the hell are you planning, Emma?”

Emma smiles and nods to the train, “You better go, I don’t want you to be late because you missed your train. I love you, and just try to relax and have fun! You deserve to be happy.”

She gives you a hug and gently nudges you to the train. You get on the train and find your seat. You get situated in your seat, and now your mind is racing. What could Emma have possibly planned for you?! 

The ride to Jinju was actually delightful. You loved being able to look outside the window, and see so many different parts of Korea. Your playlist and convenience store snacks also make the trip very enjoyable. You’re only a few minutes away from Jinju when you realize you didn’t ask where to meet your guide. 

The train has finally arrived in Jinju. You pack up your things, and go to grab your suitcase. It takes a few minutes, but you have made it off the train. The station is pretty packed, so you begin looking around and walking towards the exit.

“Y/n!”

Your head turns and your eyes widen, “Seonghwa?”

Chapter 9 - The Company Ball

It’s 5pm and Erwin will be here in 3 hours. Your dad went a little overboard and hired a hair and makeup team to help you for tonight’s ball. You jump in the shower and make sure that every inch of your body is without hair. Anything could happen tonight so you want to be fully prepared.

Honestly you wouldn’t be opposed to sleeping with Erwin. Just casually of course, your heart is with someone else. But you have needs, and if Levi isn’t willing to meet those needs you will find someone who can. Even if it’s just for an evening.

You hop out of the shower and Historia is waiting in your bedroom with a robe. You put on the robe and she starts patting your hair dry.

“You don’t have to do that”, You tell Historia.

She smiles, “It’s okay, I want to help. Tonight is special.”

“Are you attending as well?”, You ask.

Historia nods her head yes.

“Well then you can go get ready and take tomorrow off as well. I want you to enjoy yourself. Besides, I know Ymir will be there. I’m hoping at least one of us will get lucky tonight”, You giggle.

Historia blushes but is hesitant to leave, “Are you sure, Y/n? I can stay and help, I really don’t mind.”

You respond, “I’m positive. Please, go and enjoy yourself. But I better hear all about it the next time I see you.”

Historia laughs and waves as she walks out of your bedroom.

You sigh and look in the mirror. You make a promise to yourself that tonight you’re going to have fun. No more being sad about Levi, at least for tonight. You have a smoking hot date. Even though your deal was originally to make Levi jealous, you both can still enjoy yourselves.

There’s a knock on your bedroom door and the stylists walk in and start getting you ready. It took 2 hours for your transformation to be complete. The whole time you were listening to your favorite pump up music and just having fun with the stylists.

Tonight you wanted to be bold. Even though your heart was hurting, you wanted to push that aside and be confident. Let me tell you, your stylists did not disappoint.

Your long h/c hair was curled and put into a gorgeous updo. Some of your hair was out of the updo to frame your face. You had honestly never seen your hair look so beautiful.

Your makeup was flawless. Nothing too much on your eyes, but your lips were a beautiful red. Perfectly matching your dress.

Your dress. Goddamn you weren’t going to lie, your dress was gorgeous. The top had a deep v-neck, tastefully showing your cleavage. The waist was fitted to your waist, and the bottom of the dress flowed out and down your legs. There was a cut that went all the way to your upper thigh. The red color of your dress demands for all eyes to be on you.

Confidence was never your strong suit, but as you look at yourself in the mirror you can’t help but be amazed. Tonight is about you, and doing whatever the hell you want.

You take a deep breath and smile at the stylists, “Thank you all so much. I truly feel the best I ever have.”

They smile and compliment you as they’re leaving. Your phone buzzes and Erwin says that he’s outside. He also let you know that Levi was already down here and was becoming very impatient.

You roll your eyes and grab your handbag. You check yourself in the mirror one more time before heading to the elevator. When you get to the lobby you can see Erwin and Levi outside of the hotel. They are talking and not paying attention to the doors of the hotel.

Your stomach drops when you see Levi in his suit. Fuck he’s so hot. You look at Erwin, honestly he is also looking hot in his suit. You start to feel nervous as you’re walking to the doors.

“Confidence, Y/n. Have confidence”, You are internally telling yourself.

You take a breath and open the door. You start walking towards the car, and that’s when Erwin sees you.

“Damn”, Erwin says dumbfoundedly. He can’t stop staring at you with wide eyes.

Levi looks momentarily confused and then looks in your direction.

You both lock eyes and you immediately get goose bumps. The electricity that runs through you is unlike anything you’ve ever felt. Levi’s eyes are wide, and you see a small blush forming at his cheeks. At that, you start blushing as well.

You walk up to both of them, “You both look so handsome this evening.”

Erwin replies, “I assure you, neither of us compare how gorgeous you are.”

You giggle, “Thank you.”

Erwin asks, “Am I right, Levi?”

You look at Levi nervously. He meets your eyes.

Levi responds shyly, “You look beautiful.”

Your eyes widen and your cheeks redden once again.

“Well we better get going. We don’t want to be late”, Erwin says.

You get into the back of the car, internally cursing yourself for telling your dad you didn’t need a limo.

Your dad turns around from the passenger seat, “My oh my. Y/n you look so beautiful! Doesn’t my daughter look beautiful?” He asks everyone in the car.

Your driver, Erwin, and Levi all agree. Your dad turns back around and is busy talking to the driver.

You are squished in between Erwin and Levi. Your heart is racing. You were trying your best to keep your legs in the middle as much as you could.

Erwin has now joined the conversation with your dad and the driver. You sit there quietly trying to get your heart to calm down.

Your eyes widen as you feel a leg slowly press up against yours. You look at the leg, already knowing who it belongs to.

Maybe it was a mistake, maybe he’s just more comfortable. It’s dark outside so it would be hard for anyone else to notice. You let yourself cherish the feeling, you were unsure of how long it would last.

You then felt a hand slowly start to touch your exposed thigh. It took everything in you not to react. Your heart is pounding. You look down and see Levi’s hand resting on your thigh, he is tracing circles on you with his thumb. He was driving you crazy.

Well you wanted to be bold tonight, so here goes nothing. In the dark, you slowly move your hand down to his. For a few moments, your hand was just resting on top of his. But then he shocked you. He quietly turned his hand so that your palms were touching. Levi then carefully intertwined his fingers with yours.

You were in complete bliss just at this gesture. You were embarrassed to admit that you were starting to get wet at all of these secret touches in the dark.

You were holding hands with your bodyguard, while sitting next to your date, and your father in the front seat.

As you pull up to the building, Levi squeezes your hand and then slowly pulls away. Your heart sinks in the absence of his hand.

You exit the car and Erwin meets you with his arm out. You wrap your arm in his, and enter the building.

The place is decorated beautifully. There is an abundance of food and drinks, you can’t wait to dig in. You decide to brush off the events in the car. Tonight was going to be an amazing night.

You grab a glass of champagne and start drinking. At your table you sit next to Erwin, Levi decides to watch from a distance giving you your space. You and Erwin are enjoying your food, and the alcohol is making your cheeks lightly rosy.

“Would you like to dance?”, Erwin asks.

“Of course! Dancing is my favorite.”, You respond with a smile.

Erwin could feel a tug at his heart when you smile, but he wasn’t going to tell you that.

You both walk to the dance floor and he places a hand on your hip, and your hand is on his shoulder. He gently holds your other hand and you begin to dance. You can’t help but notice how much bigger his hand is than yours.

The dance floor is pretty crowded, and the alcohol is really starting to kick in. You are definitely tipsy at this point.

The slow music comes to an abrupt halt, you hear the crowd start to complain.

“Alright folks! I know this is technically a ball, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a little bit of fun right?”, The DJ says with the microphone.

All of the sudden one of your favorite songs comes blasting over the speakers. It makes you feel like you’re back home at a party with your friends. You look at Erwin and see that he wants to leave the dance floor.

You grab his hand, “Awe come on. You aren’t going to leave me so soon, are you?” You tease him.

He laughs, “Oh fine. But I’m no good at dancing to fast music.”

You laugh and look around you. Everyone is jumping and grinding, it seems that they’re all having a good time. You notice that you and Erwin are situated in the middle of the crowd, so you hope your dad doesn’t see what you decide to do next.

You grab Erwin’s hand and turn around. You start dancing and shaking your ass on his front, giggling the whole time. Erwin slides his hands on your hips, holding you close and begins to grind on you. You can’t help but feel like someone is watching you. You look up to the second floor, it doesn’t take long for you to lock eyes with Levi. He is throwing back what looks to be glasses of whiskey. He looks pissed.

You look away and can’t help but smirk. You start grinding more on Erwin and bring your hands up behind you to hold his neck. He starts leaving kisses on your neck. While this is happening you look back at Levi. He looks like he’s about to jump over the railing. You do something evil, and you smile at him.

Honestly you could care less that this was technically a work event. This felt way too good, and you were tipsy as fuck.

Erwin surprises you and he spins you around to face him. He grabs your face and pulls you in, your lips meet and it doesn’t take long for you two to start making out. You taste wine from his tongue, and you know he must be tipsy as well.

Thank god it was dark in here, you really didn’t want your dad to see this. Even though he would probably only be ecstatic.

The kisses become rougher and Erwin squeezes your ass with one hand. What is it with you and guys on the dance floor? Something about it just turns you on.

You pull away. You both are catching your breath.

“Let’s not go too far, at least not out in the open like this”, You say and then wink at Erwin.

“Damn, Y/n. You’re so sexy”, Erwin responds.

You giggle, “You’re not so bad yourself.” You realize how full your bladder is from the alcohol, “Hey I need to go to the restroom.”

Erwin nods, “Okay. I promised a few people I would say hi tonight, so I’ll be doing that while I wait.”

You smile and turn around, pushing your way through the crowd. You don’t realize how loud it was until you walk into the dimly lit hallway. Your ears slightly ringing, the hallway is empty and you walk to the bathroom.

You finally get to relieve yourself, and you feel so much better. You’re washing your hands when you hear someone enter the bathroom. You’re shocked when you look in the mirror and see who it is.

You turn around, “You can’t be in here! It’s the women’s restroom!”

Levi doesn’t say a word. He is staring a hole through you. He shuts the bathroom door and locks it, he walks quickly over to you.

“What are you doin-”, You shout.

Levi cuts you off by smashing his lips against yours. His hands are around your waist, and for a moment you just stand there. You finally come to and you start to kiss him back.

He is very impatient and his tongue pushes itself into your mouth, this makes you moan. He moves from your lips to your neck, where Erwin’s lips were just a few moments ago. Levi starts sucking and nibbling all over your neck, as if he was trying to erase any trace of Erwin.

You start trying to undo his belt buckle but he snatches your wrist.

“I don’t want to give you the wrong idea. If we go any further, it’s just physical. It doesn’t mean anything. Are you okay with that?”, Levi asks.

You pout, “But why?”

Levi sighs and lets go of your wrist, “I’m your bodyguard, not your boyfriend.”

You roll your eyes, “Fine. No feelings, just physical.”

Levi looks at you like he doesn’t believe you, but you pull him in and start kissing him harder. You reach your hand down to his belt and undo it. You reach your hand in and can already feel how hard he is. You pull it out from his pants and start rubbing it.

Levi moans, “Ahhh. Oh fuck.”

You continue to pump his cock, and you grab his chin. You make eye contact with him and your heart flutters as you see the small blush on his face. His eyes roll back as you start to pump him faster. You kiss him roughly and you can tell that he is close. You decide to be bold.

You pull out your boobs from the v-neck of your dress. His eyes become wide and he immediately has his hands around them. He leans in and is kissing each one.

“Ah shit. I’m going to cum”, Levi whimpers.

You pull his chin back up so you could make eye contact. You smile lustfully, “It’s okay, Levi. Cum for me.”

He immediately moans at your words and cums. You moved his cock to the side at the last minute, so his cum was all over the floor and your hand.

“Fuck. I’m sorry it got on your hands”, Levi says breathlessly.

You bring your hand up to your face and start licking your hand clean while moaning. Levi looks fucked out and like he’s about to pounce you.

Once your hand is clean you say, “Mmm all better.”

You turn around and start washing off your hand, you see in the mirror that Levi is pulling up his pants. While he’s cleaning up the floor, you’re fixing your hair and makeup.

Levi is done washing his hands and you start walking to the door.

“What are you doing?”, Levi asks.

You turn around confused, “We should probably get back out there.”

Levi walks to you, and moves your dress to where your entire leg is out of the slit. The slightest bit of your thong is showing. Your face immediately turns red at this.

“Nah we aren’t going back out there just yet”, Levi smirks and leans into your ear, “I want to hear you scream”.

Note: This was originally a one-shot, but I may write more! Please let me know what you think :)

It’s a wild Friday night. Pajamas are on, you have your favorite comfort show on, and a bucket of ice cream all to yourself. You are casually scrolling through social media. A lot of your friends have moved back in for their final year of college. You graduated the year before them, which at the time you were thrilled to be done. Now seeing them all go back without you hurts. You were the captain of your soccer team, and seeing your teammates prepare for the indoor season without you is a little bit of a bummer. 

You were able to land a corporate job, which you are of course grateful for. Most days are spent alone considering you work from home. You can’t deny the depression that is starting to creep back in. Your phone dings and you smile at the photo that your best friend, Lauren, sends you. The photo shows a smiling Lauren with the rest of your team, and you can see part of the men’s team trying to get into their photo. You chuckle and heart the photo in imessage. You can’t deny the pain you feel knowing you won’t be there this season. 

Turning up your show to try to drown out the sadness seems like the best idea. Until your phone goes off again. 

“You better not be moping all alone right now. We miss you.”

Lauren always has a sense for whenever you’re feeling sad. Something you love and hate about her. Mostly love. 

Nah. I’m at a huge corporate rager. Drunk off my ass, might go home with someone.

Lauren replies almost immediately.

“Okay now I’m actually worried. Why don’t you play in our practice scrimmage tomorrow? The boys have an unfair advantage, so we need all the help we can get.”

You roll your eyes.

Don’t you think that would be a little pathetic? And what unfair advantage could they possibly have? You stomp them at every scrimmage.

As you wait for a response you think about joining your old team. I mean it is just a practice game, and it’s not like you have anything better to do. The exercise would be nice.

“Are you kidding? The team would be thrilled. We miss you all the time :(. The unfair advantage would be Marcus’ friend that is in town. They went to elementary school together when Marcus lived in Korea, and well he’s fucking incredible at soccer.”

You sigh and try not to think too much about your answer. Maybe just going with the flow will work out for me this one time.

Damn all you had to say was Marcus and I’m in. I can’t wait to see his face when we win. Just text me the details and I’ll be there.

Lauren sent you a voice memo of her and the rest of the girls screaming in excitement. You laugh and then start to get ready for bed. The scrimmage is at 9am so you need to make sure you get plenty of sleep. 

Tomorrow comes and before you know it, you’re at the fieldhouse. You’re not sure why you were so nervous because the girls give you an enormous warm welcome. Lauren forces you to start stretching and warming up early since it’s been a few months since you’ve played. As you and Lauren are warming up together, you notice she has the biggest smirk on her face.

“Why are you smiling like that?”, You ask.

Lauren giggles, “Don’t hate me. We obviously needed you to beat the boy’s team, but I also had a bit of a side quest.”

You narrow your eyes, “What are you up to?”

Lauren says, “Well Marcus’ friend is super hot and good at soccer. I thought maybe you guys could get to know each other.”

“This was a set up?!” You gasp.

Lauren hushes you, “No one else knows. Even if you don’t want him to be your boyfriend, it could be a fun hookup. Just trust me on this.”

You roll your eyes, “Whatever. He better not be ugly.”

Lauren laughs as the two of you continue to warm up. You can’t deny the butterflies you feel at the idea of this mystery man. Lauren has never been wrong before, so you’re just hoping you can muster up enough courage to be yourself. 

“Well well well. Look what the cat dragged in”

You immediately know who the voice belongs to. You turn and can’t help but smile.

“I’m not admitting that I missed you”, You say with your hands on your hips.

Marcus laughs and opens his arms. You both embrace until Marcus tries to squeeze the life out of you.

“Okay! Are you trying to squeeze me to death?!” You shout as you wiggle out of his embrace. 

Marcus smiles, “I missed you.”

Lauren interrupts, “Okay okay enough with the flirting, Marcus.”

Marcus recognizes someone behind you, “Over here, Jongho!”

You all turn to see the man that Marcus was calling over. Fuck Lauren was right, he’s gorgeous. He gives your group the cutest smile you’ve ever seen and jogs over to your group. 

Lauren whispers to you, “You’re drooling.”

You lightly smack Lauren’s arm and try not to keep staring at Jongho.

“Alright everyone! This is Jongho. We met when I lived in Korea and he’s here to stomp your asses.” Marcus says as he wraps his arm around Jongho’s shoulder.

Lauren rolls her eyes and puts her arm around you, “Well, Jongho, this is y/n and she’s here to make sure that doesn’t happen.”

You are giggling at Lauren when you finally make eye contact with Jongho. He is smiling brightly at you. You’re unable to hide the slight blush that appears on your cheeks. A burst of confidence comes through you. 

“Yeah sorry you came all this way just to have your ass handed to you” You say with a smirk. 

The teams are laughing and you can’t bring yourself to look away from Jongho. The sexual tension is undeniable. He steps closer to you and you refuse to back down from eye contact, even when you have to look up to meet his eyeline.

Jongho looks down at you flirtatiously, “You’re a mouthy one aren’t you. I like that.”

He walks towards his side of the field, the rest of the boys follow after him. While you’re momentarily frozen in your spot. You can’t believe someone as beautiful as him said that to you. 

Lauren drags you back to your side of the field while you continually thank her for making you come. She continues to nod her head with that ‘I told you so’ look. You can’t even argue with her because she was oh so right.  

Your team is huddled and hyping each other up. You are all in agreement that you must win this scrimmage no matter what. Even though it’s only a practice game. You will be in your favorite position, center defender. Lauren let you know that Jongho is a forward, so you will definitely be seeing him. Your team all put your hands together.

Before you can break you tell them, “Not one of his balls will get past me.”

Your team cheers and breaks. As you walk to your position, you’re shaking yourself out. You can’t decide if it’s because it’s been awhile since you played or because you’re nervous as fuck. Either way, Jongho is not getting past you. 

For the first 10 minutes you wonder when you will get to play. Both teams are so hyped up that it was really just a battle of the forwards and midfielders for a while. This was good because you were able to watch Jongho in action and see how he plays. Unfortunately for you he is incredible, so this will definitely be a tough match. 

Jongho is the first one to slip through the midfielders and he is barreling right towards you with the ball. You take a deep breath and immediately go into action. He attempts to side step you, but you step directly in front of him and kick the ball between his legs. Jongho wasn’t prepared for you to be able to disable him so quickly that he didn’t have time to slow his body down. The force causes Jongho to fall, bringing you down with him. You immediately jump back up, only to sag in relief when you see Lauren is on the other side of the field with the ball.

“Are you okay?!” You see a frantic Jongho searching all over you to make sure he didn’t cause you harm.

You laugh, “I’m fine. Better luck next time.”

You can see that Jongho is taken aback by you. He wasn’t expecting you to be so incredibly good at defense, and also not afraid to put yourself directly in his path. He can’t help but admire you, but he will also not be misjudging you again. 

Before leaving, he can’t help but brush the few hairs that are in your face out of the way. He tucks them behind your ear, and then runs off to the other side of the field. Leaving you there speechless, and furiously blushing. 

As the game continues, the girls are not backing down. The score is 1-0, with Lauren being able to score because you got the ball from Jongho. You had a few more run-ins with different people on the other team, but none of them were able to get past you. With only a minute left, you can feel a flip of the switch for everyone on the field. The girls, desperate to defend and keep their advantage. The boys, desperate for one goal.

You can feel all the attention is on you. You are the reason they can’t score. You continue your breathing techniques as Jongho makes a beeline for the goal. Needing to get past you, he has three different guys running with him. As they go down the field they’re passing it to one another, in an attempt to confuse you. The three of them are now running side by side and passing it between each other. 

They reach you and the fight begins. You get the ball from one of the guys and attempt to kick it, but Jongho blocks you. You are trying to get the ball back when he passes it to another teammate that you didn’t see. He was further away so you start sprinting right at him, but right before you get to him he kicks it far. You hold your breath while watching the ball soar right to Jongho. Who happened to be right by the goal box. 

You immediately take off towards him, your other defender doing her best. He’s able to fake her out and make it past her, as she falls to the ground. Jongho is lining up his shot, and you know the only way to stop him is to slide to the ball. He doesn’t see you coming up behind him, and right as he’s about to kick the ball his feet are taken out under him. Since he was so close to the ball, you had to risk a slide tackle. The ball went right to your goalie as you planned and the buzzer went off. 

You are laying on your side breathing heavily as you hear the rest of your teammates screaming in victory. You turn over and see Jongho laying right behind you with his hands on his head in defeat. 

You sit up, “Are you okay?” 

Jongho looks at you and smiles, “You really weren’t kidding. I thoroughly just got my ass handed to me.”

Jongho sits up as you two begin to laugh. Even after the intense game and you’re not sure if you’ll be able to move later, the chemistry is undeniable. 

Jongho picks up one of your hands, “Would you let me take you on a date? You are the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen.”

You blush and begin to laugh, “Even after I slide tackled you?”

Jongho smiles, “Yeah. I’ve met my match, and now I don’t think I’ll ever be able to stop thinking about you.”

It’s your turn to fix his hair. 

“Let’s get you checked out by the trainer first, and then we can see about that date.” 

Chapter 11 - One Hell of a Night

You gasp and choke on your spit at Erwin’s suggestion. Your face is completely red, and you are coughing as you try to get your breath back.

Levi pats your back, “Way to go, Erwin. You nearly killed her.”

Erwin chuckles, “I’m sorry, Y/n. Are you okay?”

You take a deep breath and attempt to smile, “Oh I’m fine. You just surprised me.”

Erwin asks, “So are you not interested? It’s okay if you’re not.”

You blurt, “No! I’m not saying that I’m not interested, I just wasn’t expecting you to say that.”

Erwin stands up and walks over to where you and Levi are sitting. He sits beside you, you are now in between the two men.

Erwin smirks, “So does that mean you are interested?”

You look down and whisper, “M-Maybe.”

Erwin places a hand on your chin, bringing your face back up to make eye contact.

“We don’t have to have sex. We can just mess around if that makes you uncomfortable”, Erwin says softly.

You gulp. Every part of you is screaming yes. This was honestly your dream scenario, but you didn’t want to seem too excited.”

“Y-Yeah. I’m okay with that”, You respond meekly.

Erwin smiles and looks at the person behind you, “Levi.”

Levi grabs the ends of your sweatshirt and pulls it up over your head. Erwin’s big hands wrap around the band of your shorts. You lift your butt so he can take them off. Now you’re in your bra and underwear.

Erwin starts undressing and you turn to Levi. You can see the faint blush on his cheeks as he looks at you. Since he was already in only his underwear, you can see the massive bulge forming. Erwin puts a hand on your thigh and you look back at him.

He asks, “Are you sure you’re okay with this?”

You nod, “Yeah sorry. I’m just really nervous.”

Erwin smiles fondly, “You don’t need to be nervous. Levi and I will take good care of you.”

This makes your stomach do flips, your heart pounding.

Erwin leans in and your lips meet. He is gently kissing you, while Levi leans in and starts kissing your neck. You are soaking wet at the thought of being in between these two beautiful men.

Levi kisses a sensitive spot on your neck and you let out a moan. Erwin becomes rougher and you two are making out. Levi unclasps your bra from behind and leaves kisses down your naked back.

“My turn”, Levi growls.

He puts an arm around your waist and pulls you both to the arm of the couch. This way he could lean back comfortably. He pulls you so your back is laying on his front, he turns your head to the side so you’re facing each other. He immediately puts his tongue in your mouth, and his kisses leave you dizzy with pleasure.

Both you and Levi’s legs are propped up, Erwin carefully takes off all three of your underwear. Erwin lays on his belly in between your open legs, and starts rubbing your throbbing clit.

“Ahh-ah. Mmm that feels so good”, You moan.

Levi brings his hands around your body and grabs both of your boobs. He begins squeezing them and rubbing the nipples. All while Erwin is still rubbing your clit.

You can’t help the moans that fall out of your mouth. You were in complete bliss.

“Fuck you’re beautiful”, Erwin moans.

He then begins to lick your clit. A gasp escapes your mouth, and Levi starts kissing you again. Erwin begins penetrating you with his tongue, and Levi is still rubbing your tits. You feel like you’re on the brink.

“I’m almost-almost”, You whine.

You don’t get to finish speaking because you were too busy finishing all over Erwin’s mouth. Once he was done cleaning you up with his tongue, he sat up and wiped off his face with his hand. You couldn’t help but look at his cock, it was enormous and in need of release.

You lean forward and move out of Levi’s embrace. You motion for Erwin to lay back on the couch, and you crawl in between his legs. You wrap your hand around Erwin’s dick and start slowly pumping.

“Oh fuck”, Erwin immediately moans.

You take a few deep breaths and start licking his cock. You were really going to need your gag reflex to disappear to take all of Erwin. You put his cock in your mouth and slowly start moving down. Relaxing your jaw to the best of your abilities.

You were about halfway down when you became a little worried that it wouldn’t all fit. You feel hands on your ass and they pull you up so your ass is sticking out. You don’t have to turn around to know who that is.

You refocus on Erwin and finally reach his base. You start slowly moving your head up and down, holding back the tears that are forming.

“Mmmm, Y/n. Shit”, Erwin moans.

As you find a steady pace, you feel fingers enter you. You moan on Erwin’s cock, the vibrations making Erwin moan. Levi starts ramming you with his fingers. You probably look pathetic. It all feels so fucking good. Levi’s fingers and Erwin’s dick, you never want it to end.

“Ahh. Y/n, I’m going to cum”, Erwin says breathlessly.

You prepare yourself, you want to swallow it since he swallowed you.

Soon you feel a warm sensation hit the back of your throat. You try your best not to think about it and swallow it as best as you can.

The three of you are laying on each other panting, but then you realize that Levi hasn’t had a chance to cum yet. You sit up and Levi does as well. You see that his cock is still rock hard and you turn to him.

“Uhh I’m sorry. I hate to miss out on anymore fun, but I’m fucking exhausted. I won’t be much help in getting Levi off, so do you two mind if I head out?”, Erwin says and you can see how sleepy he really is.

“Oh of course not. Thank you for, uh, everything”, You awkwardly laugh.

Erwin smiles and kisses you on the cheek, “I should be thanking you.”

He gets up and quickly puts his clothes back on. Before you know it he’s walking towards the door.

He turns around and says, “Have fun you two.” Erwin winks and heads out the door.

Honestly you were a little surprised by Erwin’s sudden request to leave, but maybe he was trying to give you and Levi alone time. Erwin is truly the best.

Levi coughs to break the silence, “Um we don’t have to keep doing this if you’re tired.”

You’re quick to reply, “No! It’s okay. Let’s go to my bedroom though, this couch isn’t very comfortable.”

You stand and walk to your bedroom. Levi follows after you, he stares mesmerized at your ass the whole time. You both enter your bedroom and Levi sits in the middle of the bed. You crawl over to him and gently grab his cock. It wasn’t as hard as it was a few minutes ago, but it won’t take long for it to be ready.

You lay on your stomach in between Levi’s legs. You slowly pump Levi’s dick and you shower it in kisses. His moans are driving you crazy, you want to hear more.

You put Levi’s cock in your mouth and start moving your head up and down. Levi grabs your hair and throws his head back.

“Fuck”, He moans out. “Wait”, He whines.

You lift your head up and take his dick out of your mouth.

“What’s wrong?” You ask, clearly confused.

Levi looks shy, “I wanted to try something else.”

You’re curious, “Oh, what did you want to try?”

Levi looks at you, “Will you sit on me?”

Your eyes widen, “Uh-um yeah! Let me get a condom.”

You’re trying your damnedest to play it cool but you’re freaking the fuck out. This will be your first time actually having sex with Levi. You had been wanting to do this for weeks now. You grab the condom and crawl back over to Levi. You straddle him and he rolls the condom down his hard cock.

You line up his cock with your entry, “Are you ready?”

He responds with a grunt.

You slowly sit down on him and you grind on him for a few seconds while you’re adjusting to him being inside you.

“Fuck I need you”, Levi moans.

He flips you on your back and is now on top of you. He begins thrusting into you and you are scratching the shit out of his back.

“Ahhh-ah, Levi. Shit that feels so good”, You whine.

He brings his lips to you and you are making out hard as he is thrusting into you. The sounds of his moans are only bringing you more pleasure.

He puts one of your legs up on his shoulder and continues ramming into you. Holy fuck it hurts so good. He also starts rubbing your clit. Between him fingering you earlier and now this, you can feel your orgasm coming like a freight train.

“Fuck Levi! Harder!”, You shout.

Levi growls and starts ramming you so hard you feel like you can see stars. You scream out and cum all over his dick.

“Oh shit, babe. That feels so good”, Levi moans.

After a few more pumps Levi cums in you. You both are trying desperately to catch your breath. At this point it’s 3am and the exhaustion from the day is setting in for both of you.

You sleepily snuggle up to Levi and he places a kiss on your head. Normally you would never be able to fall asleep without cleaning up after sex, but you are so exhausted you don’t even think about getting out of bed.

Both you and Levi fall fast asleep, in each other’s arms.
