Chapter 9
This past week three people had disappeared from our village: the first victim was a farmer, followed by a child and then a nobleman. I didn’t meet up with Jung Yunho a lot, due to his high position in our village. He travelled by horse and whenever I saw him and my eyes met his, he smiled sadly at me and I was left troubled, standing alone; awaiting his return.
Mother and my little sister Junmi had - of course - noticed my moodiness and tried to cheer me up by complimenting my prey of the day. The animals I brought with me became fewer and fewer as I found myself unable to concentrate on the task. Jung Yunho’s absence had managed to turn me upside down.
I ate less at dinner and then was deeply sunken in my thoughts during the nights, falling asleep only early in the morning and due to that black circles were formed under my eyes.
* * *
At the end of the week, I found myself almost falling out of the tree I had climbed into. I didn’t have any energy left after those tiring days so I had decided to rest on a branch that deemed to be steady and wide enough for me to rest my weight on. I longed for rest and sleep, but then-
But then someone suddenly was next to it. I came down my shock as soon as I realised it was Jung Yunho clad in a light-blue hanbok. I had not even heard him coming towards me. I must have been so entranced by my thoughts that I didn’t even hear the steps of his horse! He sat there so majestically on his horse that I started to daze off while staring at his presence.
He chuckled when he noticed my bewildered expression. “Jaejoong-ssi, you weren’t sleeping up there, were you?”
“How could I?” I muttered with a frown. “I’m not that free as you to make trips on a horse.”
He grinned. “Come down so we can make a trip together.”
My eyebrows comically disappeared under my black bangs when I heard his invitation to a ride. Already feeling the fluttering things clench in my stomach, I climbed down the tree and then stared up at him.
“Did you ever ride one?” he asked when he saw me staring with doubt at the animal that seemed a bit too big at that very moment.
I shook my head, my cheeks tinted red in embarrassment.
He let out a bark of laughter before saying, “Lucky me, then. Wait, I will get off and help you sit on her first.”
With ease he hopped off the animal. I swallowed my saliva nervously when Jung Yunho stood beside me and placed his hands on my hips. “Well, then,” he whispered in my ear, making me squirm inwardly. “Let me help you.”
It all happened to quickly before I found myself sit on the horse, blinking in utter confusion as I looked down at Jung Yunho. He laughed at the expression on my face and then he also climbed on the horse, just behind me. I let out a soft gasp when he shifted his legs and my backside met his strong body. His strong, muscled thighs encasing mine.
“Are you alright?” he breathed into my ear and I closed my eyes from the intense feeling. It felt like something was boiling inside of me.
“Y-Yes, I am…”
Jung Yunho smirked and then decided it was time to start moving. I let out a yelp when the horse started in a slow pace, my hands digging into his thighs rather painfully. He chuckled and I felt his right hand squeeze down, promising me he was holding onto me steadily.
“Do not worry, my royal princess,” Jung Yunho teased. “I will make sure your presence will be safely guarded by me.”
I let out a displeased grunt and turned my head sidewise, glaring at him I said, “I will count on that, mere farmer.”
He laughed and led the horse to the right, causing me to quickly look forwards again. His hand was still softly on my hips when I knew where he was taking the two of us - well actually three when taking the horse into account. Our destination was the field of blossomy flowers.
* * *
The usual long walk to the field turned into a short journey thanks to the horse. I didn’t want it to end, I enjoyed being this close to Jung Yunho, our bodies touching every now and then caused by the movement of the animal. His strong thighs which were always hidden behind the expensive fabric of the hanbok felt oh so pleasant against mine.
When we arrived, Jung Yunho helped me to get off the horse and we soon were both standing safely next to it. With a rope the horse was swiftly tied on a branch of one of the trees at the side of the field. Jung Yunho turned his head coyly at me and lifted his arm, reaching his opened hand at me. I stared at it before I finally understood what he wished for. Shyly, I reached out to him and held his hand, our fingers intertwined whilst we walked through the pink ocean.
We settled in the centre of the field, countless flowers there were already crushed because we always sat and lay in the middle of its wideness. Jung Yunho lay on his back and rested his head on his arms, while I sat upright, my weight resting on my hands placed behind me.
“I am sorry we could not see each other very often this week.” Jung Yunho’s utter was followed by a sigh.
I shook my head slowly. “I understand. Times are hectic. Do you have no progress still?”
“Sadly, no…”
I turned my head to look at him. “It will be alright, you lead the case, so it will be alright.”
He opened his eyes and smiled at me. I inwardly swooned when I saw the dimples in his cheeks. His face was oh so perfect, even the scar below his eye. That made me think… “Where and when does the scar origin from?”
“I fell down.” Was the short reply.
I let out a soft chuckle. “You do not wish to talk about it, Jung Yunho-ssi?”
He grinned and shook his head. “By telling you, you would be amazed by my stupidity. I do not want you to know about my clumsy actions back then and there.”
My body was halfway turned by now as I sneakily crept closer to him. His hands shot out in defence but it was too late, for I had already thrown my body on him and tickled him in the sides. He screamed for mercy and I yelped when his hands were settled in my sides too. We both squirmed under our teases and before I even realised it I had to come to rest on top of his body, my thighs were parted, my behind resting on his lower stomach… if I went lower, then I’d be on…
I gaped at him before stammering, “I-I am so sorry!” I went to move off him but he had grabbed my wrists and possessively held me on top of him. “Jung Yunho-ssi!” I exclaimed in distress.
“Stay.”
“But…”
We looked at each other, I in confusion and embarrassment and feelings of the unknown whilst he was searching for something in my eyes, his gaze almost piercing through me as he heatedly stared at me. Very slowly he let go of my wrists and I let my arms fall to the sides, the flowers teasing my fingers.
I felt so self-conscious of what my inner thighs felt, e.g. the very firm muscles of his stomach and sides. His hands were settled on my hips and I let out a quiet gasp when his thumbs started to stroke the sides of my lower belly. I shut my eyes when Jung Yunho all of a sudden sat upright and he enveloped me in a tight embrace, his arms encasing me lowly around my waist. My arse rested softly on his lap while my knees were on each side of his thighs.
“Relax…” he breathed into my ear and I slightly wriggled when he softly bit down and nibbled on the shell.
Not knowing what to do with my hands I held onto his shoulders. I felt so utterly lost and confused. What was I supposed to do? Kiss him? Bite down on his ear too? Well, that would be awkward…
“W-Wha…” I stammered when I felt something moist trail down from my ear to my neck. Soft, feathery kisses were pressed down, even a touch of a tongue was included. Unconsciously, I tilted my head and the kisses travelled along my jaw line to the side of my face. My arms tightly enwrapped his shoulders and neck while my fingers were fisting the fabric of his hanbok, making wrinkles in the expensive clothing.
His hand cupped my cheek tenderly and my eyelashes fluttered open, he stared longingly at me and his eyes were clouded over when he asked me, “Would you let me kiss you?”
One could barely notice but I did nod my head. Jung Yunho saw it nevertheless and he leant in, his eyes focused on my lips as they parted and a quiet gasp followed.
Our lips then were pressed together. I shut my eyes when I felt another brush against my plump lips. His mouth moved against me oh so tenderly and I felt my body stiffen as my pair of lips was still thrust into an unmoving big pout.
Was I supposed to kiss back?
How…?
What if I did wrong?
Shyly, I tried to copy his tender actions and felt myself blush crimson red when I had caught his plump lower lip between mine. My eyes shot open when I heard the chuckle and I found him staring at me, laughter visible in his eyes. I pulled away and I lowered my head, feeling ashamed. I let my face rest in the dent of his shoulder, inhaling his sinful scent.
“Your lips are so soft…” he breathed in my ear. “So cushiony…”
His lips were pressed against my cheek before I mustered up courage to lean back again. I gazed at his lips through my eyelashes. Although, the feeling of kissing was so foreign to me and it caused my stomach to clench like never before, I still wanted more of it; I wanted to feel him again, to feel his lips and kiss him again.
This time it was me who initiated the first kiss. I brushed my lips against his and I almost felt proud when I felt him sigh in comfort.
Innocent nips turned into open-mouthed kisses as our lips moved sensually against one another. My plump upper lip was caught between his lips and then I felt something moist trace it very subtly.
“J-Jung-” I whimpered and just when I had parted my lips wide enough his tongue had slipped past them. I squirmed before stiffening in his hold, concentrating on the foreign touch of his wet tongue. Coyly, I tried to follow his movements and let my tongue leisurely brush against his. I was hitched upwards and I yelped when I ended up higher on his lap, my right hand accidently moved under the fabric of his hanbok around his neck. His skin felt so soft and warm.
I gaped at him, my brain not focussing at all when his hands possessively held my hips before they travelled over my sides. He pulled me closer to him and our tongues brushed against each other before our lips met. At one point his hand was tangled in my long hair and he started to massage my scalp tenderly. I let out a soft sigh into our kiss.
We broke apart in the need of well-deserved air whilst I held onto Jung Yunho’s back tightly, my head resting under his chin. His hands stroked my back in a slow manner. I buried my nose into the light-blue fabric and let myself rest fully on his body.
* * *
I forgot about the exact time we lay there. We had soon shifted our bodies and were curled up against each other, my head on his arm as I used it as my very own pillow. His lips were red and swollen and I knew my own didn’t differ much. His left arm was in the possession of my head whilst his right hand was between the hands of mine, playing with and admiring his slim fingers. I brought them to my mouth and brushed my lips against the tips of all five. Jung Yunho tenderly looked down at me.
The sun travelled through the sky, the blueness changing into orange colours which promised us another hot night in this summer.
We had to go…
But I didn’t want to…
Why couldn’t the field of flowers become my - our - reality?
I wouldn’t mind spending the rest of my time with Jung Yunho here.

A/N: Although, I wrote an entire page about a kiss, I hope you still liked it!
Jaejoongie has accepted Jung Yunho in his heart, he still hasn’t voices his feelings yet - his
actions show the truth though, making-out sessions surrounded by flowers, such lucky brats.
This will be the last quick update, the other one will take me a week - like it should! However,
comments do make me write faster~
