K-pop Idol Imagines - Chapter 24: Chapter 24

It was time.
Y/N was sitting on the couch, waiting for her girlfriend to be home. She was excited to spend some time with her and maybe have something more. Y/N couldn't help but smile at the excited feeling bubbling inside her chest.
"Where are you, Taeng?" she mumbled while glancing at the wall clock over and over again, not wanting to miss any second.
Just then, there was a clicking sound and a soft thump of the front door opening and closing. Y/N got up with a broad smile and rushed to greet the girl but stopped in her tracks when she saw the crested look on her face.
"Taeyeon?"
Y/N saw Taeyeon staring down at the floor as she removed her shoes and kept her bag at the entrance.
"Taeng? Baby? What happened?" Y/N asked, her voice soft.
She reached out for Taeyeon and stood close to her, lifting her head to look at her face. A gasp left Y/N's lips as she had her eyebrows knitted together with utter confusion and concern. She saw Taeyeon's eyes so dull and exhausted.
"Y-Y/N?" Taeyeon muttered in her raspy voice, making Y/N nod with encouragement for her to speak further.
But, instead, Taeyeon crashed herself into Y/N's arms, crying out loud. Y/N got surprised by her sudden collision but held onto her as she tightly returned the hug and felt heartbreaking at the sound of Taeyeon crying.
Y/N rested her hand on top of her head, trying to shush her down as she asked, "Taeyeon? What happened? Why are you crying?"
Taeyeon just held onto her hoodie, sobbing as she nestled closer into her chest, feeling her world crumbling down. Y/N couldn't understand what happened but she couldn't see Taeyeon like that.
Trying to pull apart, Taeyeon didn't let go. She had a tight grip and whimpers left her mouth, not wanting to move apart.
"Baby let's sit down. I'll hear everything you have to say. Okay?" Y/N suggested as she looked down but Taeyeon shook her head.
"I-I want you here..." she managed to say out loud and it made Y/N's heart feel a pang of hurt. She hugged her again but then pulled her legs up hooking them around her waist, saying, "I got you. Just jump."
Taeyeon hooked her legs around, snuggling her face into the crook of her neck as she choked out a quiet sob, tears falling on Y/N's skin, damping the hoodie a little. Y/N started walking towards the living room, resting her hands under her thigh, holding her in one place, close to herself.
Y/N carefully settled on the couch as Taeyeon straddled her, the sounds of light sniffling were the only ones that were to be heard. Y/N slithered her hand under Taeyeon's shirt, caressing the skin beneath and one hand on her head stroking the girl till she calmed down.
After a few minutes of being like that, Taeyeon loosened the grip on her hoodie and Y/N pulled apart. Taeyeon was looking down as her hair cascaded down covering her face, causing Y/N to tuck her hair behind her ear, cradling her face in her hands.
Y/N swiped her thumb on her cheeks, wiping away the stains of tears and making her look at her.
"Do you want to talk?" Y/N asked, whispering.
Taeyeon sniffled loudly before nodding. She settled down next to Y/N as she stood up to get her a glass of water.
Y/N held the glass of water in front of her lips as another hand rubbed her back, consoling her down. "Drink it, you will feel better."
Holding onto the glass, Taeyeon gulped the water and then wiped the corners of her mouth, staring far off into space. Y/N set the glass on the table in front of them and then sat close to Taeyeon, grabbing her hand and holding it tightly.
"No need to rush. You can tell me whenever you want. I'm here for you, "she assured her at which Taeyeon looked up, her eyes red with all the crying and skin pale with exhaustion.
"I'm tired, Y/N, "Taeyeon started, "Tired of doing work. Tired of trying to meet everyone's expectations. Tired of being criticized. Tired of juggling myself in between everything, just to satisfy everyone around me. I'm tired of... everything. Everything."
"Oh, Taeng..."
"I'm frustrated. Frustrated with me. Not being able to meet the level. I feel so useless, Y/N. I..." tears started to run down her eyes, as she screw them shut, raking her hands through her hair, pulling them harshly.
Y/N held onto her hands and carefully pulled them apart, leaning down to hug her. But, Taeyeon resented, resented to be touched or hugged.
"Taeyeon! Stop it! I'm not going anywhere like this. You need me! And I'll not go!" Y/N said as her voice raised a little.
"Go away, Y/N! You don't deserve me! Go find someone else who knows how to meet everyone's expectations. Who has control of her life unlike me!" Taeyeon shouted out loud as hatred blazed in her voice.
Y/N tried to hug her but Taeyeon smacked her hand away, harshly.
"Stop this, Taeyeon! For God's sake, I love you!" Y/N shouted, trying to get some sense into her but, Taeyeon put her hands on her ears, not wanting to listen to anything.
"Nobody loves me... Nobody loves me! Why can't you understand that?!" Taeyeon shouted back as she balled her hands into fists.
Getting enough of her shouting, Y/N grabbed her nape and pulled Taeyeon into a lip-searing kiss. Taeyeon let out a muffled gasp and punched Y/N into her shoulder a few times before eventually melting into that kiss.
Y/N gently caressed the skin beneath and slowly kissed her, wanting her to feel desired and loved. Lips slowly moving in sync, Taeyeon let out a hum of appreciation. She scooched closer to Y/N, knees touching, hands awkwardly resting in her lap.
Y/N let her hand travel down the length of her neck and down to her shoulder, pushing it lightly. Taeyeon got the hint and pulled Y/N closer by her nape as she lay down on the couch. Y/N hovered above her as they pulled apart for a few seconds just to get adjusted before lips attached again.
Tilting her head, Y/N kissed her ever so sensually, pouring all the love she had for the woman into that kiss.
Taeyeon's fingers tangled into her hair, pulling her closer with the feeling of wanting more. Y/N pulled apart just enough to whisper, "I love you."
An undeniably good sensation buzzed all through Taeyeon as she lifted her head to feel Y/N's lips again against her. Y/N gave in to her request and kissed her. Again pulling apart to whisper, "You're worth everything."
"You're amazing."
"You're my everything."
"I'm so proud of you."
Taeyeon heard every sentence, every word which was spoken with so much love that it made her feel overwhelmed. Tearing up at her trail of compliments. She pulled apart as their forehead touched, breathless.
"You're precious, my love. I love you so damn much, "Y/N said as she pressed another chaste kiss onto her lips, sealing her words.
She opened her eyes to see Taeyeon, crying, but this time she had a smile on her lips and her eyes twinkled with happiness. Y/N wiped the tears away as she said, "I know it's hard sometimes. I know that sometimes the world feels too much. But, just so you know, I'm here for you."
"I know, "Taeyeon replied.
"Every time you feel down just call me. I'm one call away from you, "Y/N said, nudging her nose against hers.
"You've come so far, baby. And you will make it there too. Don't think about what others think of you. Just think what matters to you."
Taeyeon nodded and replied, "Thank you for loving me, Y/N. I don't know what I'd do without you..."
Y/N lifted off her and said, "I'm always here for you. Just say the word, Taeng. It breaks my heart to see you cry. Don't cry, okay?"
Taeyeon sat up and nodded with a light giggle, saying, "Sorry for making you worry."
"Don't be. You deserve the world, Taeyeon. You deserve the world, "Y/N repeated, trying to ingrain it inside her brain.
Taeyeon lovingly gazed into her eyes as she felt her heart thrumming inside with so much love for her girlfriend. The way she forgot about the whole day was amazing. She felt that all she needed was Y/N to hold her and assure her.
"You're amazing, love."
"I love you, Y/N, "Taeyeon said as she pulled her into a hug.
Y/N rested her chin on the top of her head, saying, "I love you so much."
