Author's note: Sorry for the delay. Enjoy this one too x
YOU: I grew up in a strict family and my mom thinks I'm a saint if only she knew... [chuckles] I'm not good at following rules [shrugs] I'm a natural flirt, I can't help it [bites lips] Jeongin is hot, he has a cute smile and I would love to break rules with him [smiles] I know I'm coming a little late but I think everything is a fair game.

It's not the kind of impression you want to give him when you almost trip on the steps as he leads you to the villa, you blame your wedged sandals for it.
"You okay?" Jeongin asks, offering his hand to you.
"I'm okay," You laugh it off and use it as an excuse to grab at his arm and help you walk.
"I think everyone is on the terrace," he mutters.
Instead of being nervous, you're so excited to meet the rest of the guests that you start giggling as he takes you climbing another set of steps to where everyone is.
"Hello, everyone," Jeongin greets everyone.
You wave your hand and put on your best smile at everyone sitting on the sofa. One girl with blonde hair has her jaws drop open seeing your hands are linking around his arm.
"Hi!" You sweetly greet.
While Jeongin introduces your name around, you look at each and every face, and notice that a girl is slightly not pleased to see you. You can safely assume that it's the girl Jeongin mentioned.
"How was the date? What happened? Tell us everything!" The guy with dirty blonde hair asks.
"It was fun," Jeongin answers, then glances your way.
"We had cocktails, we shared a fruit platter, it was sweet," you continue his sentence, smiling as you reminisce your date with him.
Someone raises his hand in the air and you both stop talking altogether, "Was there any rule-breaking?"
You look at Jeongin but he lets a moment pass in silence so you decide to answer it for both of you.
"No, there was no rule break," you confirm.
Jeongin lets out a chuckle and holds his hand up at the guy who asked, "Relax, Mick, we didn't spend any money," he assures him.
"Have a little faith in me," he adds with a laugh.
You go around getting to know everyone by their names and act calm when you find out the name of the girl Jeongin is currently with.
Then you decide to join them on the sofa and talking to the girls is always a good start.
"So, what is your type?" The blond girl asks which you learned her name is Francoise.
"Uhm..." you subtly point at Jeongin, "He is my type."
"Oh?" She responds with another surprised look on her face.
Just because Jeongin refused to kiss you doesn't mean you're already giving up on him. He doesn't want to do it because he's already with someone and he doesn't want to do it behind her back, you must admit that's an admirable thing to do.
But that's not going to stop you from also getting to know everyone else here.
-
YOU: I don't know how involved they are with each other so we'll have to see about that.
-
Jeongin finds Justine in the dressing and she's probably been waiting for him to talk. She smiles when she sees him coming into the room.
"Let's have a chat," she says.
He knows they'll eventually talk about the date and since everyone else is already in the bedroom, he decides that it's the right time to do it.
"Just a minute," he says, taking a moment to put on a t-shirt before sitting on the chair next to her.
Justine is playing with the make-up tools on the table, tapping her nails against a bottle of facial toner.
"So... tell me all about your date," she says with a low sigh.
Jeongin doesn't want to lie but he knows he shouldn't be too honest about it either. He puts his forthright self to the side and picks his words carefully.
"It was nice. We had a good chat, and we enjoyed getting to know each other," he decides to stop there even though he still has so many things to say about it.
"She's pretty. Very pretty," she comments, playing with her make-up brush next.
"Yeah," Jeongin agrees but in a weak tone.
Justine can't hide her feelings, it's obvious that she does not like this conversation so whatever she asks next, he should be more careful with his answers.
"And what do you think about her?"
"She's nice and
"But you guys didn't kiss," she says.
"Yes," Jeongin shortly answers.
She faces the mirror but he can feel her eyes on him, "Why?"
There's a difference between being a player and being disrespectful, and Jeongin believes that kissing a girl behind Justine's back is the latter.
"I don't want to be disrespectful to you," he answers.
Justine nods and lets him talk more about his decision not to kiss you.
"If the roles were reversed, I don't think I would like it if you kissed someone else," he explains.
A smile blooms on her face and she turns her head at him, acknowledging that he did that because he considers her feelings.
"I appreciate you for that," she says.
It wasn't easy to come to that decision but God, ain't he glad that he refused that kiss? That way he came to the right decision and hurt no one in the process.
She swivels her chair to face him and rests her hand on the side of the chair, "I'm not going to stop you from getting to know everyone, that's our deal but..."
She licks her lips and takes a second to pick the words to say, "If you want to be with her, I want you to tell me."
Jeongin agrees to it with a strong nod because that's the deal the two of you made, "Okay."
"Just be honest with me," Justine reminds him.
"You don't have to worry about that," he assures him because he's been nothing but honest.
Well, except when he told Linda what his favorite feature on her.
-
JEONGIN: I have this instant connection with the new girl but at the same time, I care for Justine.
-
It's not something you both planned, you bump into the other new arrival, Lou, he's about to head out when you come into the bathroom.
Since you both are new arrivals, you may as well talk to him about your respective dates or any potential connections.
"I took Bianca on the date but as soon as I saw Francoise, I think I messed up," he shares.
You can't say much as you're busy brushing your teeth so you nod while looking at him through the reflection in the mirror.
"The whole time we talked outside, she was looking at me," Lou continues, sitting on the edge of the tub while playing with his wavy hair as he talks.
"That gets me thinking that the guy she's with is just someone she's with, you know what I'm saying?"
You wash your mouth with water and move on to the next step of your nighttime routine, "Change of plans, huh?" You playfully say.
Lou's chuckles are echoing in the room, he clicks his tongue then looks at you through the mirror as you wash your face, "And Jeongin is still your top pick?"
You pick up a clean towel from the cabinet and slowly dab your face with it, "Yeah."
Lou also sees the complications in it since Jeongin is with Justine at the moment, "How serious do you think he is with her?"
You grab your tube of moisturizer and take a dollop of it onto the back of your hand, "I don't know but we got that sexual chemistry, we almost kissed," you explain and you're aware of how adolescent you sound saying that.
Even Lou notices that and gives you a strange look, "Mmm?
'I'm telling you, he definitely wasn't so closed off at all," you confidently say, lathering the cream all over your face while talking to him.
Lou cracks a laugh then says, "Fuck, they're going to hate us."
Well, it's not your fault for coming late and crashing the party. Isn't that the purpose of bringing in the new arrivals? To see how they handle temptations so now, it's up to them whether they can resist it or not and you're simply going for the one you want, Jeongin.
"You got to go for what you want to go for," you remark.
-
YOU: If I want something, I get it. I don't let anyone get in my way.
-
Even though it's your first day in the retreat, you find yourself having a good night's sleep that you wake up feeling so refreshed. You sit on the bed and rest your back against the headboard, reaching for the tumbler on the bedside table to have a sip of water.
Lou is groaning as he shifts on the bed and his eyes meet yours with his wavy hair covering his face, "Morning" he croaks.
As new arrivals, you and Lou have to share the bed and since he doesn't snore, you don't have any problems with him.
"Morning," you greet him back.
A while later, the cone chimes and your head snaps to see where Lana is. You spot her on the other end of the bedroom.
"Good morning, everyone," Lana greets.
"Morning!" Linda cheerfully replies to her while the others are too busy forcing themselves awake.
You get startled when Lana calls your name and then Lou, you intently listen to what she has to say to you.
"I hope you enjoyed your dates yesterday and your first night in the retreat."
"I slept well, Lana," you tell her even though you're not sure she'll hear it.
"I hope the other guests have been making you feel most welcome," she continues.
You fix the strap of your camisole and your eyes catch Jeongin looking at you, you hold the gaze for a few seconds before looking away.
"Glad to be here," you respond to Lana.
Jeongin may share the bed with Justine but he's been giving you these cheeky little looks and it makes you more confident that there's something there.
Just like now, Justine is clinging to his arm but his eyes are on you. You tease him by shyly looking down onto your lap but when you glance up, you give him an intense stare.
And the eyes, the eyes tell so much.
-
YOU: I'm looking forward to today. I'm going to be sexual because that's how I am and if anyone has a problem with it, I don't give a shit [laughs]
-
After working out, Jeongin joins the rest of the boys lounging by the pool to cool down before taking a shower. He chugs his water from a tumbler while listening to the guys talking about random stuff.
Something catches everyone's attention and makes them abruptly stop talking. Jeongin turns his head to see what everyone is looking at when it turns out to be you.
You're tying the bikini straps on your back as you walk out of the villa.
"Sheesh," Kurt quietly hisses, having a partner doesn't stop him from ogling at another girl.
You probably sense everyone's eyes on you as you walk across the pool. However, you don't seem to feel bothered with all these eyes on you.
"She's too fit," Mick lowly mutters as now the boys are silently watching you go for a swim on the beach. Even you can turn the sex cop's head and that says something
"She's literally too hot to handle," Keith says, embracing his availability and turning it into an opportunity.
Jeongin takes a moment to witness the boys acting like a bunch of horny teenagers seeing a grown woman for the first time, then shakes his head in disbelief realizing that he's one of them.
"Oops, boobies!" Kurt jokingly says seeing how your bikini top rides up and almost exposing your breasts.
That's so childish coming from a grown man with a big body like him but Jeongin finds himself laughing at it without realizing it.
What people say is probably true, boys will always be boys.
Seeing that you're making your way back to the villa, the boys hurriedly sit on the lounger and act like they didn't just watch you swimming from afar like a bunch of creeps.
The boys make it obvious that they're talking about you as they turn quiet when you walk past them, brushing your wet hair to the back and heading back into the villa.
"Fuck me..." Damon sighs, his jaws hanging open as his eyes follow where you're going.
It's the beads of water running down your skin, the way your hips swing as you walk, your body... oh, Jeongin can think of so many things he could do to your body.
The sound of the door being shut behind you snaps him out of his daze. He hurriedly collects his senses and reels himself back to reality.
"Man, don't ever leave me alone with that girl or I'll turn into a bad cop," Mick jokingly says with an overwhelmed sigh.
The boys are laughing at that while Jeongin can only lightly chuckle as he sips his water again.
"Don't worry, mate. I'll always be around her," Keith says.
Everyone has been good for these past few days and it only takes one girl to make them fall back into old habits, proving that no one is really taking the retreat seriously.
Jeongin admits that he may have failed it too because now he regrets not kissing you yesterday.
-
JEONGIN: I don't know what it is about her that makes us all go wild [laughs]
-
There's a good chance that Justine feels threatened by your presence that you always see her around Jeongin. She's been by his side the whole day and making it hard for you to talk to Jeongin.
In the afternoon, the boys are out for a workshop and the day has gone without a result.
You decide to get your make-up done early so you'll have time to find Jeongin and if you're lucky, you can talk with him.
Francoise joins you not long after, sitting on the usual spot at the end of the vanity table.
"Hey, girl," she says, putting all of her hair to the back and tying it into a messy ponytail, "how are you?"
"Good, great," you answer without looking away from the mirror and once you're done filling your eyebrow, you look at her, "You?"
Francoise digs into her makeup purse to take her things out and lay them out on the table, "Good."
She starts by applying cream all over her face, then dabs the rest down her neck.
"Tell me all about the boys," she suddenly says.
"They're all attractive," you give an obvious answer just to be safe.
"Anyone you like?" She asks, now applying a different cream to her face.
Not sure if Francoise is merely curious or she has intentions of asking you that but you're not going to lie and say something just to please someone.
You sheepishly smile and give a moment for the setting spray you applied to dry, "There's one."
Francoise lowly gasps, "Oh, who is it?"
You catch that glint in her eyes that threatens you to not say the name of her current partner and she can relax because it's not Kurt.
"It's the uh..." you pause as you look for your brush, "The one I took on the date."
"Oh?" She gasps loudly this time, sensing what your answer could cause.
"He is with Justine though so... what are you going to do?" She asks, propping a hand under her chin and genuinely concerned for you.
"I caught him looking, you know, giving me the eyes," you tell her while putting everything back into your make-up pouch.
Francoise is getting so invested in the drama already that she stops doing her make-up to talk to you, "Is he your number one or..."
"Yeah," you shorty reply.
"But is there anyone you like besides him?" She asks again with the glints returning to her eyes.
You check your make-up once again in the mirror and then lean back on your chair, "Uhm... who's the English guy with the wavy hair?"
"Keith?"
"Yeah, Keith, I like clean, pretty boys like him," you openly share with a smile.
"Yeah, he's cute, a real English lad," she agrees with a giggle.
Your chatter dies down once Bianca and Justine enter the room and Francoise continues doing her make-up while you take it as your cue to get your move on.
-
YOU: If Jeongin wasn't giving me any signals he was interested, I wouldn't try but I need to find out exactly what's going on.
-
Justine may have said that Jeongin is free to get to know anyone but since you came, she feels the need to sink her claws deeper into him.
How is he going to get to know you better if she keeps him around all the time?
When he finally gets time for himself Jeongin grabs a glass of wine and chooses the firepit as the place to enjoy the drink.
Not long after, he hears footsteps coming his way, he's about to dread it thinking that it's Justine. Instead, he finds you walking toward him, looking stunning in a skin-tight dress that accentuates every curve in your body.
You stop in front of him, standing and looking at him with a sweet smile on your face, then you cutely ask, "Do you mind if I join you?"
How can he say now when you sweetly asked him like that? Jeongin swallows his drink fast then stifles a nod.
You slowly sit so close to him even though the sofa can fit five people in it, you tuck the strand of hair escaping your messy bun and smile at him.
You don't say anything for a good minute, just staring at him with a smile lingering on your face and Jeongin starts getting comfortable with the silence too.
It's when Jeongin stares back into your eyes, that you look away and let out a light chuckle.
"Last night, I watched how you guys were in bed and stuff, and a few times I caught you looking at me," you say.
That's not what he expects to hear you say when you start speaking to him but he can't deny that because that's true.
"I mean it's okay, it's more than fine but it gets me wondering," you pause to tuck another strand behind your ear.
He gets what you're saying even without having you explain it. You want to know if the looks he gave you mean something or not. Honestly, the reason he did that is because he's simply attracted to you, something about you keeps luring him to look at you and he doesn't know how to make it make sense to you.
"I'm still trying to figure out our connection and if it's leaning towards friendship or—"
You cut him off with a question, "But are you sexually attracted?"
That gets him gulping air, "To you?"
"Yeah."
Isn't it obvious? But you want to hear him admitting it out loud. However, Jeongin finds himself nervously chuckling instead of answering.
"It's not a friendship then," you say, taking his chuckle as a confirmation.
He's the one shyly smiling at you right now and about to fold under your hypnotizing eyes.
You shift on your seat, sitting with your body fully facing him, and say, "But would you say I'm in a position where I shouldn't try to pursue you at all or..."
You gently place your hand on his knee and tilt your head to the side as you continue your sentence, "Would you still like me to continue getting to know you?"
Strangely, that question is easy and hard to answer at the same time. Easy because he is indeed attracted to you and wants to explore this connection with you but he's aware that he could do the same with the connection he has with Justine, not to mention, that she's been with him since day one.
Not getting an answer from him, you make the question simpler for him, "Would you rather me keep trying or would you rather me fully close off?"
Jeongin is only afraid that he wants to be with you because you're this exciting new girl and choosing you means that he throws away what he has with Justine.
But does he want you to fully close off on him?
"I don't think you should fully close off," he mutters then slowly exhales air.
"So it's a yes?" You demand to hear a verbal answer this time.
He yet again responds with a sheepish smile and you have to conclude yourself.
"It's a yes," you confidently remark, giving yourself the answer that you know is true.
-
JEONGIN: I really want to behave but she's making me hot and flustered. She's so tempting [groans]
-
All the attention you receive from the boys and these jealous eyes you get from the girls, they're nothing new to you.
It's not your fault that these boys are crowding around you, you're this shiny new thing and they're curious about you. You guess it's because you offer something different than most girls in here.
One guy in particular has his eyes on you all the time, Keith. He keeps standing on the side of the sofa instead of sitting on it.
"Get comfortable, babe, I don't bite," you playfully say, patting the space next to you.
He cracks a crips laugh, showcasing his perfect teeth at you, then hesitantly sits down.
"I don't think we talked before?"
Keith looks stunned that it takes him a moment to process such a simple question, "Yeah," he answers.
"Keith, right?" You ask just to be sure, sipping on your wine while at it.
"Yes," he excitedly answers.
On the outside, Keith is this tall man with a built body and effortless hair but what you see in him is this big golden retriever and you can imagine his tail is wagging as he speaks to you.
"So Keith, tell me what your hobbies are. What are you into?"
"Uh... travel? I like traveling a lot," he answers, getting a bit serious now.
"What do you like to do when you travel?"
"A lot of things. I'm an adrenaline junkie, surfing, snowboarding, bungee jumping..."
"Oh? I never tried bungee jumping before," you share, then take a sip of your wine.
"You should. It's really fun," he says, brushing his hair to the back with his hand.
You lick your lips before speaking, "Then we should do it together next time."
That gets him blushing and then cracks a laugh, "I'd love that."
You bring your glass close to his and clink it with his, "That's a deal!"
Keith is smiling ear to ear and you can hear the excitement in his voice as he speaks, there's nothing cuter than seeing a guy fawning over you.
"You're really beautiful," he blurts out and looks like he didn't mean to say it out loud.
You smile at that and tilt your head to the side, "Am I?"
"You're absolutely gorgeous," he emphasizes every word.
"Aw, thank you," you coo at him.
You're liking what you get from him, the attention and the soft gaze, but it's a bit disappointing that you don't get it from the guy you like.
On the good side, now you know where to go if Jeongin decides not to reciprocate.
All of a sudden, the cone in the corner of the room chimes and orders everyone to go to the cabana.
This will be your first time experiencing this session with Lana in the cabana so you don't get why everyone's mood instantly changes once everyone is seated on the sofa.
-
YOU: I don't know why everyone acts like somebody just died like... what's going on? It's just Lana.
-
Everyone gets tense when the cone chimes and then it suddenly turns quiet in the cabana. You don't know what's the drill here but your eyes are glancing side to side, looking at everyone's faces that show almost the same groggy expression.
"What's up, Lana?" Justine asks since no one is saying anything.
"I regret to inform you there has been a breach of the rules," Lana announces.
Someone messed up and Lana is about to out them, now you get why they're so nervous. You're scanning the faces to spot the guilty ones.
"Who's been bad?" Linda says with an accusing tone.
Your head is turning to see if anyone raises their hand or does whatever it is when they're trying to confess their rule break. However, everyone stays tight-lipped and acts innocent.
"Why are you so silent? You need to speak up!" Mick says, a bit too aggressive.
You look around again to see if someone falters at Mick's angry remarks and then notice the sly grin on Damon's face. You're not the only one noticing it, Mick glares at him and sighs.
"Not funny, man," Mick says, looking disappointed and fed-up.
Damon grins again then scratches the back of his head, "Uhm... Bianca and I shared a kiss," he finally admits.
"Again?" Francoise's eyes widen in horror.
"Felt right in the moment to do so," Damon says, adding a nonchalant shrug in the end which only annoys everyone.
"What are you doing?" Linda sharply gasps, her small round eyes almost popping out of her sockets.
You watch as it turns into a whole argument in the cabana over something that isn't should be a problem: kissing someone.
This time, Courtney asks the most important question of all, "You guys kissed and that's it, right?"
Her question only puts more pressure on both Damon and Bianca that either of them hesitate to tell the truth.
"A little something–something else happened last night," he meekly says after a while.
Lana decides to take control of the situation and reveals the rule breaks to everyone, "Last night, Damon and Bianca kissed multiple times but that is not all they did."
Next to you, Keith is constantly sighing and then lowly muttering, "Oh, come on..."
"They also engaged in prolonged, mutual gratification," Lana further reveals.
No wonder Damon and Bianca are so afraid to come forward, Lana basically tells the whole group that Damon and Bianca gave each other a hand job. You don't have any problems with the rule breaks but being exposed for the things you did, that's crazy.
"What even is that?" Linda asks in utter confusion.
Everyone is way too disappointed or too busy groaning in complaint to even answer her question.
"Damon and Bianca, your multiple kisses have cost the group $18,000," Lana informs.
Does that mean 6 grand for a kiss? Okay, now you see that should be a problem.
"Your prolonged, mutual gratification has cost the group a further $30,000."
Your jaws drop open hearing how much money have lost for some hand jobs under the cover at night.
"In total, these rule breaks have cost $48,000," Lana delivers the final bill.
"I'm speechless," Courtney says, planting her head in her hands.
It turns quiet again while the tension keeps building and animosity fills the air, making you afraid to even take a breath.
"The prize fund now stands at $128,000."
-
YOU: It's gone from bad to worse in a second.
-
What Jeongin is hearing is bad news after bad news and it's coming from one couple doing the same thing again and again which pissed him off.
They knew the consequences of their actions yet they chose to keep doing it and what do you call that? Selfish.
"Damon and Bianca, I asked you to respect my rules but instead of working on building a deeper more meaningful connection, you have continued to show signs that you may not be here for the right reason."
At this point, they deserve what's coming for them and he wouldn't be surprised if Lana decided to kick them out of the retreat.
"Therefore, I'm setting you the ultimate test," Lana announces.
"Damn..." Damon curses, holding the sides of his head in distress.
Jeongin doesn't know why Lana bothers to put them on a test, isn't it obvious that they're going to fail?
"To see if you adhere to my retreat rules under the most trying of circumstances."
Oh, no, wait. Lana, please don't say that—
"You will spend the night alone in the private suite."
-
JEONGIN: Lana, you're making a huge mistake.
-
This is going to be bad.
Jeongin thinks that everyone else agrees with him with how many groans and moans echo in the room. They broke the rules when everyone else in the room with them so what makes him think that they won't do anything when they're left alone?
"We're screwed," Linda meekly says.
"Just great," Justine mutters with an insinuating tone.
Damon looks at everyone and tries to convince everyone that he won't break any more rules.
"I'll be good, guys. I promise I won't spend any money," he says with a not-so-convincing facial expression.
Maybe Jeongin can give Damon the benefit of the doubt but when he looks at Bianca, she's just suppressing her laughs like it's just a joke to her.
"Bianca, you're not saying anything it's a bit worrying," Keith says, speaking everyone's concerns out loud.
Bianca only laughs harder at that, she covers her face with her hands and tries to contain her laughter. How can anyone believe her when she acts like this?
She then clears her throat and tries so hard to put on a serious face, "I won't break rules," she says.
Francoise shakes her head in disbelief, also not buying her statement when they sound like they're merely words.
"Please make your way to the private suite," Lana instructs both Damon and Bianca.
If there's one type of person that Jeongin hates in the world is the one who can't keep their word.
-
JEONGIN: Let's hope that Damon and Bianca keep their promise.
-
"Morning," Kurt sleepily greets everyone as soon as he wakes up.
"Morning," Courtney also greets from her bed, twisting her hair and securing it with a hair claw.
The moment everyone wakes up from their beds, the attention is on the empty bed at the end of the room which belongs to Damon and Bianca.
"What did you think Damon and Bianca did last night?" Mick asks, not sure who he's asking but everyone is not ready for that.
"Could be a lot of things," Lou mindlessly answers.
Hearing his answer, you snort as you sip your water next to him.
"It's a hell of a lot of money," Linda sighs with her eyes blank and heavy with sleep.
"I think if they broke the rules, that would be so disrespectful of them," Francoise says, clutching the duvet on her knees.
"Yeah," Kurt nods in agreement next to her.
While everyone else is busy thinking about whether Damon and Bianca break the rules or not. You're busy watching the bed across from yours, at Justine who has her head rested on Jeongin's shoulder and digs her long nails into his arm.
Ugh! You can't stand waking up and seeing Justine all over Jeongin. You have to do something about it.
-
YOU: Today, it is my mission to make it happen. It should be me on that bed.
-
No one wants to deal with Lana first thing in the morning and even worse is to deal with a potential financial loss.
The fact that Damon and Bianca take so long to get out of the private suite only makes everyone uneasy with each passing minute.
"Here they come," Courtney says, spotting Damon and Bianca making their way to the cabana.
Linda looks away after seeing them then slumps on the sofa next to you, "Oh, no. They're looking guilty," she meekly mutters.
It's eerily quiet even after Damon and Bianca take seats on the small sofa on one side of the room. People are trying to get clues on what happened in that suite from the looks on their faces and it's concerning.
"Have anything to say?" Mick asks them.
Looking at Damon and Bianca and how they avoid everyone's eyes only assures you that you're right to prepare yourself for the worst.
"Let's hear what Lana says," Damon says, losing that usual smug on his face this morning.
Lana shortly chimes and everyone gets quiet to hear her talk, "Last night, I gave Damon and Bianca a test to see if they could adhere to my rules while alone in a suite."
"Did they do it or did they not?" Justine impatiently asks.
Mick looks at the two again with blank, hopeless eyes, "I hope you guys don't let me down," he says.
Lana continues with her announcement, "Additionally, there's something I did not tell any of you."
Not only for them, that one catches everyone off guard, and with Lana, we never know what's going to happen.
"After numerous rule breaks, I wanted to know how committed Damon and Bianca were to my process. That's why if they failed to adhere to my rules in the suite, proving they're not here for the right reasons."
Damon and Bianca's faces turn to panic at the unknown terms of the test that Lana has only revealed now.
"And I will be sending them home."
-
YOU: Damn! Lana is not messing about.
-
The question is did they break the rules?
Jeongin looks around and everyone is just as nervous as him. Justine is fiddling with her nails next to him, Linda covers both of her ears not wanting to hear anything, and Mick has his head in his hands.
It's not just about the money, Lana will be kicking them out of the retreat if they break even a single rule and Jeongin feels a little faint, getting the feeling that they will be going home.
"I must tell the group that..."
And Lana dragging the suspense isn't doing everyone a favor.
"Damon and Bianca did..."
Jeongin lets out a sigh but his chest keeps tightening in every passing second.
"... not break any rules."
Cheers and applause erupt in the room, everyone shooting up from their seats and going at Damon and Bianca. When he thinks about it, it's funny that everyone is celebrating people for not having sex yet Jeongin joins the celebration.
"Bianca, girl, I am proud of you," Justine says as she hugs her.
When everyone has settled down, Damon and Bianca can finally let out a big breath of relief and laugh everything off.
"It wasn't easy, you guys," Damon shares with a dramatic sigh.
"Oh, yeah. We almost folded," Bianca adds with a laugh.
"The prize fund still stands at $128,000," Lana concludes with an update on the money.
After a very thrilling session in the cabana, Jeongin chooses to hang out in the firepit and it doesn't come as a surprise that Justine follows him there.
He lays on the sofa and places a cushion behind his head, facing the swimming pool instead of the sea view while Justine sits on the end of the sofa.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" She asks, hugging a cushion on her lap.
"Yeah, it's so nice in here," he sighs.
Behind her, Jeongin sees you walking out of the villa and going to the sun lounger next to the pool. Instead of sitting on it, you slowly bend down to put suntan oil all over your legs and eventually, your hands are going to your backside to rub it on both of your ass cheeks.
It seems like you're doing it on purpose to get his attention and you know what? That works. Jeongin instantly stops listening to Justine's talk as he puts all of his focus on watching you standing there and touching your body all over.
You finally sit on the lounger and your eyes eventually meet his, you don't hesitate to wave your hand at him with a flirty smile on your face.
His hand somehow raises on its own to wave back at you, he can see himself foolishly smiling too without having to look all the while Justine continuously talking to him.
"I don't think that we should —" she abruptly stops talking as she notices his eyes are looking nowhere at her.
Jeongin quickly looks the other way and shifts his attention back to the girl sitting next to him, "Sorry What were you saying?"
However, Justine turns her head around to see who's been stealing his attention away. Her eyebrows knitted after seeing you sunbathing across the pool, in other words, she's not pleased.
-
JEONGIN: Oh, fuck! [Facepalms]
-
It's time.
Justine had enough time to get to know Jeongin and you had enough of waiting for Jeongin to make up his mind so let's not waste any more time being stuck in this love triangle.
Tonight, Jeongin has to choose between you or Justine because he can't have his cake and eat it too.
Justine has had his chance and now it's your time but she's been making it an unfair game, always clinging to Jeongin and giving you a hard time to find a chance to be alone with him so what you're going to do is play by her dirty rules.
While Justine is busy doing her make-up, you sneak out of the dressing room and easily locate Jeongin, because he always chooses the bathroom to get dressed.
You find him leaning against the sink half-naked, styling his hair while holding a tube of pomade in one hand and the crease between his eyebrows shows how focused he is at the moment.
What catches your attention is the milky skin, the toned muscles on his back, and the evident veins coiling down his arms, he gets you biting your lips at the sight of his back figure.
You quietly enter the bathroom and lean against the glass wall of the shower, looking at him through the mirror and putting on a smile. You hold that pose until he notices you.
You crack a soft laugh when he turns around to see you, "Hey, how's your day?"
Jeongin has one corner of his mouth rising higher than the other and curls into a half-smirk after taking a look at you from head to toe and flicks his eyes back to your face.
"Good," he shortly answers.
You tilt your head to the side and keep your sly smile on, "Want to make it better?"
You can see Jeongin slowly catching up to your intention as the other corner of his mouth curls and forms a full smirk on his face. He shyly touches his ear and is unable to speak.
You look him in the eyes and seductively say, "Meet me at the beach in 10 minutes?"
After a while, Jeongin breaks the eye contact and lets out a shy smile. He doesn't know what to do with himself but holding the edge of the sink behind him.
You let the tension build by taking a step closer to him and then stopping right in front of him. In this proximity, you can see the glints in his eyes, flickering like fireworks.
Without waiting for his answer, you tell him, "I'll see you there."
-
YOU: It's time for me to make my move.
-
"Fuck!"
Jeongin quietly curses once you leave the bathroom, biting his fist to hold himself from cursing again. He has to actively tell his brain to calm down and continue dressing up if he wants to meet you there.
Regardless of who he wants, you deserve a chance to try and change his mind.
Jeongin walks through the dressing room to check if Justine is still there and she is, she is too busy doing her hair to even notice him making his way through the doorway and then out of the villa.
He doesn't know if ten minutes have passed or not but he's nervous, not wanting to make you wait long. He fixes his shirt as he walks down the path to the beach.
Squinting his eyes, Jeongin finds you sitting alone by the beach with your toes dug into the sand. Your hair is floating around with the soft gust of wind coming from the sea.
Sensing his arrival, you slowly turn your head to the side and smile the moment you see it's him.
Jeongin doesn't say anything but sits there on the sand with you, looking at the beach and how the water level recedes as the night gets late.
When he turns his head back at you, his eyes instantly meet yours.
"I feel like we need to have this chat 'cause I feel some type of way every time I see you with Justine in bed," you say.
You tuck the stray hair covering your face and put it away, "It should be us on that bed," you add.
It seems like you and he shares the same vice, you both are very straightforward, and he finds comfort in that.
"So what happened? Why am I not on your bed?" You ask with that head tilt you always do like a cat that asked to be pet.
"Because..." Jeongin's mind suddenly turns blank, he turns his head back to the sea like it would help him find the answer.
"Because Justine and I got it since day one," he finishes his answer with a safe one.
"But I'm here now," you tell him, your hand goes to the side of your head to keep your hair from being blown away.
"Then you came, yeah," he sighs and he doesn't know why, he feels like holding his breath when he's with you.
"And your head turned," You say with a flirty smile.
The way that you said it not as a question but a statement like you know for sure his head is turned... now that level of confidence is attractive.
"Obviously, you're a beautiful girl," he couldn't deny this and you know that it's true.
His head is indeed turned but that's not the problem here. He doesn't know if you've been ignoring it or completely don't care that he's currently with someone right now.
"But I'm with Justine," he remarks.
Your glossy lips curve into a smile and simply answer, "You think I care?"
So you don't care that he's with Justine or with someone else for that matter.
"I wouldn't take you here if I cared and you know what?" You tuck another strand of hair stuck to your lips, "You wouldn't come here too if you're not interested."
You really got him there that he has no reasons or excuses left in him to deny his liking towards you like it isn't obvious enough.
"I'm going to be honest," you say, shifting your body to face him and daringly staring into his eyes, "I know what I want, and what I want is you."
Oh, fuck, he curses inside his head.
Your confidence, your directness, your honesty, and your overflowing sex appeal, all of those things make you one dangerously alluring girl and it makes him even more nervous.
You prop your hand against the warm sand and ask him such a simple question, "So what are you going to do?"
-
JEONGIN: The eyes she's giving me right now are making me weak.
-
Even so, Jeongin can't answer that question. Not because he doesn't have the answer, but because he has so many things running through his head at the moment.
Getting no answer from him, you help him find the answer by suggesting a wild idea.
"How about we lose some money right now?"
That caught him off guard that his head snapped your way, "What?"
"A kiss," you lightly say like it doesn't cost $6,000 and potentially get burned at the stake by the group afterward.
The last time he did break a rule, it wasn't a nice experience and he certainly doesn't want to go through that again.
"Once we kissed and you don't feel any sort of feelings for me then... you can walk away," you devise a compromise with him.
Jeongin is interested in that idea. One kiss to see how connected he is with you, one kiss to know which one he should choose, and ultimately, one kiss that answers it all.
You don't wait for his answer and gesture him to get closer, "Come closer," you sweetly whisper as low as the soft gust of wind blowing his way.
Jeongin obeys without complaint, closing the gap between your bodies, and sits really close to you.
You reach for his jaw and hold the side of his face as you murmur, "You think I'd let you refuse my kiss again, huh?"
He opens his mouth to say something to that when your lips get ahead of him and shut his mouth with a kiss.
The way you passionately kiss him tells him how much you want him and it's arousing him that he finds himself returning your kiss as hard.
Jeongin doesn't really seek that spark but he feels that fluttering feeling, stirring and swirling, like a kaleidoscope of butterflies flying around in his stomach.
He opens his mouth to have you more and kisses you harder and deeper, his lungs start screaming for air. He lets the kiss continue for another moment before breaking the kiss and he can hear you gasp for air the moment he lets go of your lips.
"That was good," you say, licking your lower lip as if you seek the taste of the kiss that lingers there.
Jeongin sheepishly smiles and finds something to say to you that he knows is true.
"You're a good kisser," he compliments.
"I know," you coyly say.
That confidence never ceases to amaze him which assures him that the connection is there and it's getting deeper the more he knows you.
Aware of how dangerous things get, he draws a sharp breath through his mouth, "Oh, you put me in a predicament," he mutters.
On the contrary, you triumphantly smile because the kiss seems to have answered all of your questions yet you still come up with another one.
"So, see you in bed tonight?"
-
JEONGIN: I've got two beautiful girls making me feel a type of way. What am I going to do?
-
The night goes on but Jeongin can't tell which one he fears most: Lana reveals the kiss he did with you or Justine finding out about it.
Consider it his lucky day because Lana chooses not to spoil the rule break today and saves it for tomorrow. But that doesn't mean he has passed the hard thing, he still has to do the other hard thing.
Not telling Justine about the kiss would only make it worse so whether he likes it or not, Jeongin has to tell her about it as soon as possible.
He comes to the bedroom knowing that Justine is already there and yes, he's aware of the glare you aimed toward him right now as he sits on the edge of the bed.
Since Justine is talking with Courtney on the next bed, he reaches for her hand to get her attention.
"Can I talk to you?" He quietly mutters, trying not to draw any attention to both of them.
"Okay," Justine says.
Jeongin chooses the dressing room because it's the closest room, sitting on the empty chairs facing each other. This is his chance to tell him but he keeps retreating, not because he's scared but because he's aware of his bad habit of being so forthright with his words.
He takes a moment to carefully pick his words and exhales air before talking.
"Here's the shitty situation and it's going to make me sound like an absolute prick," he begins.
He tries not to look her in the eyes, afraid that it would make him keep retreating with his intention.
"But I'm going to be completely honest because it's the best way to be," he continues.
And he's right, Justine is already sensing that she wouldn't like what she's about to hear and starts making these wistful eyes at him.
However, Jeongin stands firm and reminds himself of what he needs to do here, "I can't lead two girls on and it's not fair."
He knows that he needs to soften the blow by telling her the reasons why to avoid her getting it all wrong. He arranges words in his head before saying them out loud.
"I like being with you, we've got a connection," he tells her, "But what I have with her—"
Justine cuts him off, "The new girl?"
It's unclear why she always addresses you as 'the new girl' but he's not going to mix that issue into this. He nods and continues talking, "I think the connection that I have with her is not worth giving up. I'm willing to give it a go."
The radiance on Justine's face gradually fades in each passing second like someone turns the brightness down. She looks down on her lap and fiddles with her nails, and he gives her a moment to process this.
"Did you guys... talk?" She meekly asks.
"Yes, and we uh..." he struggles to finish the sentence knowing that it'll be unpleasant for Justine.
But he has to, he promised to be honest so here it goes, "We kissed."
Once it's out, he feels so much lighter and he can confidently continue, "I feel something deeper with her."
Justine is lightly bobbing her head whether as a gesture that she accepts it as it is or she only does it to get things over with.
"Are you going to sleep with her?" She asks even though she wouldn't like the answer.
"Yes," Jeongin replies.
He understands well that it's a lot to take in and the fact that it's hard for him too proves that he does it out of care and mostly, out of respect for her.
He places his hand on her shoulder and slowly brings her close for a hug, it won't do much to comfort her since he's the one causing this inconvenience.
"Sorry for putting you in this situation," he murmurs his sincere apology.
But Justine chooses to accept her defeat in silence.
-
JEONGIN: I feel bad for being abrupt with Justine but it's the only way.
-
Is it just you or everyone else is also anticipating his return to the bedroom?
You saw Jeongin left with Justine and that means, they're having the talk right now. It's either about the kiss or the bed situation, or even both.
You're restlessly waiting on the bed thinking about who is he going to pick to be his bed partner. Is he going to stay with Justine or will he switch bed to be with you?
Honestly, you hate losing but what you're going to hate more is seeing Justine all over Jeongin every day for the rest of the retreat, and you feel bitter just by imagining it.
The kiss not only assures him but also assures you that you want him and you want him to want you too.
You're hardly listening to the conversation going on in the room but you notice that everyone stops talking when Jeongin returns to the bedroom by himself.
He looks around the room and notices that everyone's attention is on him. The moment his eyes meet yours, your heart skips a beat.
While the conversation in the room continues at a lower volume than before, you quietly watch him walk to his usual bed with Justine and then sit on the edge with his back facing you.
He chose her, you mutter inside your head and your hopeful heart drops to your stomach, making you feel sick.
You look away, not wanting to keep watching how your endeavors turn into a major fail. You slump on the bed and pull your duvet, wanting to get this day over with.
It turns quiet again and you reckon it must be Justine coming into the room, you quickly shift your body to the side with your back facing the door.
Then you see Jeongin come and put his things on the bedside table. You glance up to see if it's really him and your heart inflates with hope again. You hurriedly get up from the bed to make space for him.
"Do you want to take this side or this side?" You ask, offering him which side of the bed he prefers.
"Doesn't matter," he answers.
You scoot to the side to make more space for him on the bed, throwing away the extra cushions onto the floor. You're too ecstatic with the fact that Jeongin chose you and you're not going to let all these judging looks everyone is giving you right now ruin it.
Jeongin settles himself next to you, getting under the cover and also ignoring all the curious eyes wanting to know what has just happened.
Lou notices that his role as your bed partner has been replaced and without saying anything, he goes to Jeongin's former bed to sleep with Justine by default.
"Sorry," you mouthed at him.
"It's okay," he mouthed back with a thumbs-up.
You put your attention back on the guy next to you and now that he's here, you suddenly feel awkward talking to him. You hesitantly reach for his hand resting on the space between you, you take it and put it on your lap. You've never seen such an attractive hand, it's big with long slender fingers but what catches your interest is the veins coiling down his arm.
You turn it over and put your hands together to compare the sizes, "it's bigger than mine."
Jeongin smiles at that and jokingly says, "Nah, your hand is too small."
You wrap your hand around his thumb and Gosh, that makes you wonder if he's big elsewhere too.
Using your index finger, you trail down the evident veins that go from his forearm to the back of his hand, and at the end, you turn his hand over and place your hand inside his hand.
"It's a bit rough there," he says.
It is rough but not the uncomfortable kind, "I like it."
You look at him and curiously ask, "Do you play instruments?"
He looks down at the way your fingertips lightly rub his palm and answers, "I play piano."
"That explains why your hand is beautiful," you compliment him and you like how he gets all shy whenever you do that.
Jeongin touches his ear even though he can't do anything to hide his reddening ear but it makes you want to do more so you slip your fingers in between his and hold his hand.
The moment is interrupted by Justine's dramatic entrance to the bedroom, she glances your way and probably sees that Jeongin is already on your bed. She then goes to her bed and acts as if nothing happened.
And you're not going to let that ruin your happiness too.
-
YOU: You know what? All's fair in love and war [shrugs]
-
Last night, the two of you talked a little more before sleep, said goodnight to each other then turned away from each other.
However, when Jeongin wakes up in the morning, he finds himself spooning you and his arm is around you. He carefully retracts his hand away and accidentally wakes you up in the process.
You turn your head to look at him and sleepily smile, "Morning!"
Jeongin brushes his messy hair to the back and hoists himself up, "Morning," he says back.
You stretch your arms and legs out with your eyes screwed shut while making adorable noises like a kitten waking up from a nap.
Jeongin grabs his water tumbler, taking a sip as he watches everyone else also getting up from their bed after the lights turned on.
"Morning, everyone!" Linda sweetly says while holding her tousled hair on the top of her head.
"Good morning!" Courtney beams from the other side of the room.
Even with his eyes still heavy with sleep, Mick takes his duty as a sex cop seriously by asking the important question.
"Did anyone break the rules?"
Jeongin has been considering of doing a different strategy, instead of keeping it until the last minute, he figures it's best to tell everyone about his rule break now.
He raises his hand and keeps it in the air until Mick notices, "We kissed last night," he simply admits.
Mick shoots him with a glare then sighs, "I kind of guessed you guys did," he says while scratching his shoulder.
It's probably too early for them to deal with it or that they knew from the moment he switched bed with you, they seem to let this one slide easily.
Jeongin can't believe that his strategy works.
"Anyone else?" Mick asks with eyes meticulously scanning the room.
All eyes are on the most spending couple in the retreat, Damon lets out a chuckle and scratches his head, "No, we didn't," he coyly denies.
Unlike Justine, you give him the space he needs and Jeongin can freely do what he wants. He starts his day by working out as usual and getting some breakfast after a shower. He doesn't see you until it's time to go to the cabana.
"Miss you," you cutely say with a delighted smile on your face.
Jeongin sheepishly smiles and lets you link your arm with his as he sits next to you.
As expected, the group doesn't say much about his rule break and takes the $6,000 deduction well. And also because, they're more curious about the gifts on the table.
"As you can see, I have a gift for you all," Lana finally addressed the small boxes that matched the number of guests in the retreat.
"The purpose of this gift is to help you learn how to be motivated by genuine feelings of connection, as opposed to lust," Lana further explains.
"So, we're making progress?" Kurt asks around.
"That's a good thing, yeah," Courtney agrees.
"You may now open your boxes," Lana orders.
Jeongin takes two and hands one to you, everyone is exclaiming almost at the same time when they find out what's inside: a watch.
"When I observe two people forming genuine connections, they will be given a green light, like this."
Lana demonstrates by turning everyone's watches chime and lights up in green which excites everyone.
"While your lights are green, retreat rules do not apply for a limited amount of time."
"For how long?" Damon asks.
"She said a limited amount of time," Justine answers with a sly grin thrown his way.
"With this green light, there will be no more spending money," Mick remarks in all seriousness.
Jeongin is not sure that the existence of these watches would stop these people from breaking the rules, especially those who can't wait for them.
"Now that you have the watches, if you do not abide by my rules, there will be severe consequences," Lana warns for the last time.
-
JEONGIN: I'm so happy to get this watch. Now I can focus on my connection with her.
-
While the girls are still getting ready, the boys are gathering in the firepit and Jeongin is there as a quiet listener to all the random talks going on all at once.
"I wonder how Lana is going to give these green lights," Kurt says while observing the watch around his wrist.
Rather than answering him, Keith comes up with a different question, "Who do you think is going to be the first one getting a green light?"
"I don't know," Lou sighs.
"Definitely not me," Damon jokingly says.
Jeongin always thought that if there's one couple more established than the other it's Damon and Bianca but hearing that makes him doubt it.
"It's Lana, she's not going to make it easy," Lou says, being the reasonable one among the bunch.
Jeongin strongly agrees with him so he nods and says, "Yeah, I think so too."
Kurt puts his foot down and leans forward, "But bro, if they go green, you can do anything," he says with bewildering eyes.
"Anything you want, yes," Lou emphasizes it for everyone, then sips his drink.
"I need to know how long though," Damon reclines on the sofa and spreads his arms out on the headrest of the sofa, "Like is it long enough for just a kiss or long enough for a quickie?"
Mick almost spits his drink when he hears it, "A quickie?"
Kurt foolishly grins and slaps Damon's knee, "That's what I was thinking."
Lou has his forehead wrinkled into a questioning look on his face, "How are you going to, like... shouldn't you get it up first, bro?"
"It turns green and you just go at it," Damon simply resolves.
Everyone bursts into laughter and there's no denying it anymore, boys will always be boys.
"How about you though?" Damon says to Jeongin.
"It's going to be tough for you, man," Keith says, grinning at him but in a way that hints he's both jealous and concerned for him.
It's indeed a little concerning and Jeongin has only shared the bed with you for one night, so far things are good but knowing you and your alluring charms, he gets that feeling again that it's only about time.
"How was it sharing a bed with her?" Kurt curiously asks.
"It was nice and fun, she's so friendly," Jeongin sincerely answers.
"Friendly, huh?" Damon says with a wink, taking his answer out of context.
"Let me know when you need to tap out," Keith jokingly says.
However, Jeongin knows that it's not a joke to him but there's a more important thing than kissing and that is getting a green light with you.
-
JEONGIN: All I want to do is kiss her so I'm going to try and get a green light.
-
It's going to be a good night, you can feel it.
You feel good in your dress, you feel good when you check your appearance in the mirror and you feel exceptionally good about yourself.
It feels even better now that you have someone to share this feeling with.
"You look nice," you compliment him.
He's indeed looking nice in a simple outfit of blue jeans and a white shirt, but he knows how to make such a basic look work.
That's another thing you like about him, he has this impeccable way of dressing and it shows.
"I like your shirt," you say.
The short sleeves of his shirt showcase his bulging biceps as he stretches it on the sofa.
"Thank you," he sweetly says with a smile.
You poke his dimple before it disappears and compliment again, "I like your dimples too."
He cracks a laugh this time and watches you lift your arm in the air, shaking your hand.
"I think it's not catching any signals," you playfully say.
Jeongin breaks into another wave of laughter and brings your hand down, "Do you think by complimenting me you'll get a green light?"
"Mm-hm," you innocently nod.
He lightly shakes his head and drains his glass of wine, "I think Lana won't fall for that," he says.
Everyone else is there and can see what you're doing so you can't do much but put your legs on his lap and your arm across his chest.
"And you don't have any compliments for me?" You ask, batting your eyelashes at him.
He puts away his empty glass and looks at you, "I think you look gorgeous," he says.
"You think?" You pout to show your displease.
"You are gorgeous," he corrected his earlier remarks.
"What else?" You demand more compliments while maintaining eye contact with him.
"Hmm..." he cutely purses his lips as he thinks, "I like your dress."
"Okay, what else?" You demand more.
Jeongin looks at you from head to toe to find something to compliment, he places his hand on your shin as he says, "I like your shoes."
You playfully kick your feet in the air to show off your laced-up heels to him, "Cute, right?"
He slides his hand down to your ankle and you like seeing his hand on you, "They're cute," he agrees.
"They kind of painful to wear though," you share with a pout.
You've been finding a way to be alone with him and blatantly doing it would spoil it but now, you have found an excuse you can use.
"I need to change my shoes," You slowly get up from the sofa and offer your hands to him.
He does nothing but look at your hands, then at you.
"Come with me!" You say, taking his hands and dragging him with you to the dressing room.
Once you're there, you take off your shoes and put them under your closet. Not giving him time to escape, you grab him by the elbow and lead him to sit on the chair.
"We're going to stay here for a minute," you tell him, sitting sideways on his lap to not let him get away.
Jeongin clearly catches up to your intention, it's not about the shoes, it's you wanting to get him alone with you.
"What if someone comes in?" He asks.
You laugh at that and simply respond, "But we're not doing anything."
"You're doing things here," he says to you with a knowing smile.
You rest your hand on his chest to hold him down, "We're not going to do anything you don't want," you assure him.
-
YOU: Jeongin is so hot and I just want to rip his clothes off [chuckles]
-
As you stare at his face, you get reminded of how you saw him in a picture when they told you to pick one to get on a date. But you know what? The picture doesn't do him justice.
Jeongin is much more beautiful in real life. He has a pair of eyes like a fox, angular jaws, a sharp nose, and plump lips that get you biting your lips, tantalizing you to feel how soft they are.
You place your hand on his chest and lovingly gaze into his eyes, deciding to continue your train of compliments for him.
"You're so handsome."
He has all these masculine features on him but when he smiles, it softens all of the edges and he turns into this cute guy with a warm smile.
"Thank you," he calmly replies.
You put your hand around his shoulder and the other hand is feeling the toned muscles through his shirt.
"You're so hot," you seductively say.
"Thank you," he shortly responds.
You know compliments won't get you far so you take a bold move and run your hand through the nape of his neck. Jeongin shivers when you do that and that gives away the fact that his neck must be one of the sensitive parts of his body.
You gently tug at the hair on the back of his hair and at once, you pull his head to the back, sending him looking up at you.
You tantalize him with your lips, dragging them down his jawline before placing a kiss on the skin behind his ear. You feel his hand on your waist, gripping the fabric of your dress.
You smile knowing that you get him good and continue the trail of kisses down the column of his neck. This time his other hand grabs at your thigh but doesn't go higher above the knee.
"I know you want this," you whisper at him.
"But we can't," he hisses.
Feeling mischievous, you take a playful bite at his ear and a breathless moan slips out of his parted mouth. He grabs at your thigh again and you can feel his nails digging into the flesh.
"I can't promise I'm not going to try and break any rules tonight," you tell him.
Sooner or later, you both will break a rule, it's inevitable, not with this much sexual chemistry you have between you.
"We just got the watches," he reminds you.
But his arm is tightening around you and his other hand is inching closer to the hem of your dress.
You kiss him on the neck again and softly whine into his ear as a way to complain to him, "It's going to take a long time though."
"We don't want to risk getting kicked out, mmh?"
Jeongin is the most reasonable one out of the two of you but that means the chance to break rules stays at fifty percent.
-
YOU: Obviously, I want to get a green light but talking about feelings, it's just a bit... [cringes]
-
Jeongin should consider that he has passed one of the hardest tests in retreat so far.
You should trust him when he says it takes everything in him not to fold when you sweetly ask for a kiss and he won't give it to you. It even surprised him how much he restrained himself from temptations.
And even though it's bedtime, Jeongin remains cautious.
You're the last to join him on the bed and stay quiet as you climb onto the bed. That gets him wondering if you're mad about him refusing to rule break with you.
As you sit on the bed next to him and apply hand cream on your hands, he reaches for your head and softly gives your hair a ruffle.
"What took you so long?" He carefully asks.
You slowly turn around on the bed and look at him, "I chatted with Keith for a bit," you answer.
His eyes hover on the hunky guy occupying the bed at the end of the room and silently boring a hole in between his eyes with his laser eyes.
He knows Keith won't give you up that easily.
"Goodnight, beautiful people!" Courtney mutters as the lights are off.
You pull the duvet up to your chest and peck him on the cheek as a goodnight kiss.
"Night," you mutter before turning on your side of the bed and giving your back to him.
Jeongin is not the kind of person who holds grudges over something or someone, but he hates to go to sleep with this tugging feeling at his chest.
He puts his arm around you and pulls you close until your back meets his chest. He can hear you smiling without having to look at it.
Jeongin can let out a sigh of relief and when he inhales air, he can smell the sweet scent of your shampoo clinging to your hair.
"You smell so good," he murmurs at you.
"Thank you," you murmur back.
You start rubbing your hand up and down his arm in a fluttering way that makes him tingle inside. You bring his hand close to your mouth and kiss it.
Jeongin buries his nose in your neck and kisses you there, he can feel how soft your skin is as he places little kisses down your bare shoulder.
"You're so soft," he compliments again.
"Thank you," you mutter in a giggly tone.

JEONGIN: We've only just got our watches, but I'm really struggling to not break the rules right now.

The next thing he knows, he has your body molded against him until there's no gap left between your bodies.
He lets his hand freely explore your clothed body, feeling every curve of it and picturing it in his head as he goes. He stops when he meets the skin he can touch, feeling how soft it is under his fingertips.
"Mmh... so soft," he delightfully hums.
He continues the exploration and turns to the side where he rests his hand on the curve of your hips, he rubs the skin in circular motions before sliding it down the side of your thigh.
"You're so soft all over," he whispers with his hot breath fanning your neck.
You turn around on the bed and lying on your side facing him, you lift your head to place his arm under and use it as your pillow.
Then you slip your arm under and pull him close, letting his body eclipse yours. This way, he can feel your body against him, your body heat, your softness, your curves and edges, just you under him.
Jeongin uses this as an opportunity to get back at you, doing what you did to him, kissing your neck and nibbling at your ear.
As Jeongin switches to the other neck, you whisper to him, "Everyone is sleeping."
From the quiet and stillness that hangs in the room, Jeongin can confirm that everyone else is already sleeping but that's not the problem here.
He lifts his head and props his elbow against the mattress, he looks at your face under the low light of the sleep lamp. And honestly, teasing you has been making him horny too and he can't resist it anymore.
Slowly, Jeongin places his lips on yours and quietly makes out with you as you pull the duvet to cover both of you.
The kiss is so good that he keeps kissing you and you keep giving it to him, opening your mouth for him so he can taste more of you.
You keep things interesting either by biting his lips or twirling your tongue with him in between kisses and Gosh, he loves every bit of it.
Fuck money, it's worth more than that.
Jeongin is so fully immersed in the kiss that he doesn't notice your hand that goes down to the waistband of his boxer, tugging at it to find access inside.
He forces himself to pull away from the kiss to say, "You can't do that, baby?"
You slyly smile and boldly say, "Why don't you try and stop me?"
You waste not another second to slip your hand inside his boxer and instead of stopping you, Jeongin lays back on his side of the bed and closes his eyes as he feels your hand wrapped around his length.

JEONGIN: A part of me just thinks "fuck it" [laughs]
