‘Change!’ A voice rang through the apartment.
‘Why!?’ You argued back, ‘I think I look perfectly fine.’
Choi Siwon was every women’s dream, yet he was a pain in your ass. Matter of fact, he was your cousin and an over protective cousin at that. He would monitor everything you wore, who you were with and where you went. He had been away during his enlistment, so you had a bit more freedom since he was not there to be overly protective. You missed him a lot since he left because he was like your brother and best friend. Siwon had one rule, a rule that stuck since you met the rest of the boys years back and that was; no dating the members.
‘She looks fine Oppa.’ Jiwon tried to reason, ‘She is 28 years old, not 8.’
‘Don’t take her side.’ He scolded, ‘You are my sister!’
‘And I understand that, but she is a grown woman, Siwon. You can’t protect her for the rest of your life.’ Jiwon tried to reason.
‘Sorry to break this up,’ You waved a hand between the siblings fighting, ‘But did it ever occur to you that we are going to be late?’
‘Exactly, now go change!’ He pointed towards the door that was your bedroom.
‘No time, lets go!’ You dragged them both out the house.
You wore a simple black skirt with stockings and a white shirt that was tucked in. Your hair flowed naturally and you wore a pair of pumps. You thought you looked fine but Siwon found the shirt to see-through, skirt short and your hair should be tied up. Throughout the entire drive he scolded you and his sister tried to reason with him. You all were on your way to see Donghae and Hyukjae. They had returned from their enlistment and you all wanted to celebrate. Just them and their close ones. Arriving at SM, you three walked to a room that had been reserved for the little welcome back party.
‘Stay close to me.’ Siwon warned.
‘But I want to socialise.’
‘With me around!’
‘You are frustrating.’ You rolled your eyes and walked towards the guests of honour,’ Donghae! Hyukjae!’
The rapper had you in his arms, lifting you off the ground and twirling you around, ‘Y/N!’
‘Take your hands off her, Lee Hyukjae!’ Siwon stormed into the situation and ripped you away from Hyukjae.
‘Still over protective as ever.’ Hyuk chuckled as Donghae came to hug you but was closely observed by his fellow member.
‘Watch those hands Lee Donghae.’ He eyed them.
‘Let’s get a drink.’ You all but signed in relief when you saw Jiwon drag her brother away.
‘I assume you haven't told him.’ Donghae nudged you.
‘I value my life.’
‘You have to tell him sooner or later.’
‘And I pick later.’
‘Y/N!’ A voice shouted from a distance.
‘Looks like lover boy is here,’ Hyukjae placed an arm around Donghae’s shoulder, ‘Let’s give them some privacy.’
The two walked away to talk to other people as another came and enveloped you in a hug, kissing your cheek. This person was your boyfriend, Kim Heechul and your boyfriend of a year and a half. Yeah, you were told to not date any of the members but Heechul was just different. You grew closer to him as the years went by and when Siwon enlisted, the two of you dated a few months before becoming official, not that anyone knew but only a few people. Heechul was your boyfriend and also a close friend. You told him everything and he was always there for you.
‘Where’s your security guard?’ Heechul joked.
‘Jiwon took him to cool off with something to drink.’ You laughed as Heechul draped an arm around you, ‘I would watch yourself tonight, he seems to be on overdrive.’
‘I can handle Choi Siwon.’ Chul grinned.
And on queue, his name rang out, ‘KIM HEECHUL!’
‘Here we go.’ You sighed.
Siwon and his sister were just a few meters away from you and your boyfriend. The younger stormed through the crowd of people as Heechul continued to stand with his arm proudly around your shoulder. As Siwon got closer, Heechul slowly retreated his arm because he knew you didn't wish to tell your cousin yet. You wanted this to be a secret because you knew Siwon would be mad, and you didn't want to ruin everyone's evening. Siwon stood before the two of you, his eyes ready to commit murder.
‘And where do you think your arm was?’ He question.
‘Calm down horse,’ Heechul stated, ‘I was just talking to her.’
‘With your arm around her?’
‘She is my friend, ya know.’
‘That means nothing to me and you know that.’ Siwon wedged himself between the two of you, ‘Keep your intimate gestures to yourself.’
‘She is 28, Siwon!’ Heechul scolded.
‘I don’t care.’ With that, your cousin guided you to the dance floor.
Some soft music was playing through the speakes. So many times you wished to tell Siwon about Heechul, but you never seemed to have the perfect time. Right now you stood swaying to the music, your cousin in front of you and your boyfriend off at the side. You wanted to tell him now but you didn't now how Siwon would react. He was generally a level headed man, but you had kept this for such a long time that you knew he wouldn't react in a rational way. Meanwhile Heechul glanced at the two of you.
He wanted to tell Siwon so many times, but you asked him not to. Yeah he was jealous of Siwon, not because he was you cousin but because he could be more free with you. He wasn't even allow to touch you without the younger breathing down his neck. Heechul in general was a sassy man and spoke his mind, but you were worth more then using his sharp tongue and ruining everything. His hands formed fists as he rushed out the room. You caught him running out from the corner of your eye and you felt you heart shudder slightly. Releasing yourself from his hold, you walked to grab Yoona.
‘Please dance with him.’ You whispered to her.
‘Go,’ She replied, ‘He looks more upset then ever tonight, I will handle Won.’
‘Thank you.’ You hugged her before she walked to entertain your cousin.
You ran through the SM halls looking for him. You thought of everything possible, from the dance studios to the recording rooms. You opened every door and shouted his name as if you were insane. Finally clicking, you took the elevator to the highest floor it could go before walking two more flights of stairs and arriving on the roof. As if you planned the situation, you walked onto the roof and found Heechul looking out into the distance. He stood with his hands in his pockets with his back towards you.
‘You are going to get sick.’ You softly spoke.
‘Then go downstairs,’ His words cold, ‘Your cousin must be ripping the building apart looking for you.’
‘I asked Yoona to cover for me.’ You stood behind him, hand on his shoulder, ‘What’s wrong?’
‘I can’t do this anymore, Y/N.’ He didn't look at you, ‘I hate having to hide you.’
‘I know that,’ You made him face you, ‘And we will tell him, just not now.’
‘And why not?!’
‘Because….. I ….. I don’t know.’
Heechul crashed his lips into yours, kissing you with so much need that when he pulled way and pressed his forehead to yours, you were panting hard, ‘I don’t like hiding you, like we are standing on a roof just so your psychotic cousin doesn't loose his mind.’
You chuckled softly, ‘You lucky he didn't see you kiss me, would have probably tossed you of the roof.’
‘Probably…’ A voice whispered from the door, ‘You are dead Kim Heechul.’
You remain on the roof for another thirty minutes not aware that Siwon had seen the moment. He had retreated back downstairs, not wanting to cause a scene. You and Heechul soon joined the party. Siwon acted as if he saw nothing, but his over protectiveness seemed to intensify. You didn't understand why but you didn't want to cause any issues. The evening ended on a good note, with Siwon inviting all the members to his place on Sunday before returning to his service on Monday. You stayed the night at his place, waking up to more male voices than usual. Stretching, you tied your hair up and walked to the kitchen.
‘Morning Y/N!’ Leeteuk greeted.
‘Morning Jungsu.’ You smiled, ‘Aren’t you all here too early?’
‘Have you seen the time?’ The leader joked, pointing at the clock on the wall.
‘Shit!’ Your eyes widen to see how late it was.
‘Watch your language.’ Siwon scolded, ‘Go upstairs and shower, you aren't dressed appropriately.
He was referring to your short sleeping shorts and loose sleeping top. This wasn't the first time you were seen like this because the others were like your brothers, but Siwon’s tone wasn't like before. It was more of a stern order then anything else. Before you could argue back, he shouted at you and chased you away. Not wanting to cause a scene, you went upstairs to shower. Siwon never raised his voice at you. But you just went and got ready.
‘Don’t you think that was a bit harsh?’ Heechul tired to defend you.
‘No one asked you.’ Siwon went back to doing his things.
‘That is why I am voicing my opinion.’ Heechul stood up for himself, ‘I am still your elder, watch your tone Choi Siwon.’
‘And this is my house,’ He turned to face the elder, ‘So let me be or leave, the door is that way.’
Leeteuk quickly intervened and created peace between the two of them. Everything became awkward very quickly that when you walked in, you noticed the tension. It was so strong that you could cut it clean with a knife. You wore a pair of shorts with a white t-shirt and long checkered shirt over it. Your hair was pulled back into a bun. Siwon had one look at you and he had mad written all over his face.
‘Go and change!’ He barked.
‘Why?’ You asked, ‘I look fine.’
‘Because your shorts are too short.’ He pointed as you rolled your eyes, ‘Don’t you roll your eyes at me!’
‘These are the same length as what your female artists wear!’ You tired to rebel as everyone watched the family members argue.
‘And that is how I know its too short!’ He fumed.
‘She looks fine Siwon!’ Heechul cut in, ‘She is a grown woman!’
‘Stay out of this Heechul.’
‘Show some respect you punk!’
Within a heartbeat, Siwon had Heechul by the throat and pinned up against the wall. The younger had a look in his eyes that Heechul had never seen before. It was something of irritation, lack of sleep and anger. Siwon had never snapped at anyone before because he was alway seen as one of the most rational people out there. Everyone froze in their positions as they looked at the scene before them.
‘Don’t you dare disrespect me in my home, Kim Heechul.’ Siwon threatened.
‘I was just telling you the truth,’ Heechul was struggling with his words, ‘Loosen up you horse!’
‘I don’t need your opinion on something that doesn’t concern you,’ His grip tightened, ‘She is my family, not yours.’
’S-siwon!’ Heechul tried to reach out before someone said something.
‘Stop this Siwon!’ Leeteuk and Yesung tired to push the younger away.
‘You are going to kill him!’ Yesung shouted, but both got shrugged off with ease.
Tears began to fill Siwon’s eyes as you ran towards him, ‘Let go Siwon! You are hurting him!’
‘Good…’ He seethed.
A firm slap came across Siwon’s face from you. The sound echoed throughout the house. Everyone paused for the second time as Siwon dropped Heechul and backed away and held his stinging cheek. Heechul fell to the ground and gasped for air as you ran to see if he was okay. The elder held his neck, coughing and opened his mouth for the air to enter. Some went to see if Siwon was okay as a tear fell down his cheek as he watch you tend to Heechul, stroking his cheek and making sure he was okay.
‘What is wrong with you!’ You shouted, ‘You almost killed him!’
‘I’m sorry.’ His apology simple, eyes still teary, ‘Excuse me.’
‘Stop right there, Choi Siwon!’ You called out, ‘What is wrong with you!?’
‘Me?’ He turned to face you, ‘I should be asking you that. I asked you to follow one simple rule yet you can’t even be loyal and do that.’
‘Y-you-’
‘I saw you kissing him last night,’ He cut you off, ‘How could you betray me like that?’
‘I wasn’t betraying you, Siwon, but that gives you no right to try and murder my boyfriend! You stood your ground, ‘Listen to me, I am 28 years old. You can be as protective as you like over me, but that isn't going to stop the way I am. I love Heechul and I was going to tell you-’
‘WHEN!’ Siwon shouted back, ‘At the wedding?’
‘That isn't what I meant,’ You sighed, ‘We didn't want to tell you because we knew you would over react, like you just tried to end his life Won!’
‘How long?’
‘Excuse me?’
‘How long have you both been dating!’
‘A year a half….’
At that moment his heart shattered into a million pieces as a tear fell, ‘You did this behind my back!’
‘Don’t put it like that.’ You spoke softly, Heechul getting to his feet after Shindong brought him some water.
‘I can see I am not as important to you as I thought I was.’ He walked towards the stairs, ‘Excuse me.’
He retreated to his bedroom as you watch him disappear. You felt guilty to hear him call you a betrayer let alone cry over this. This was the last thing you wanted to do, yet it ended up like that. You sighed and turned to see if your lover was okay. He was seated at the dining room table with the others tending to him. You never wanted to hurt him in anyway possible because Siwon was your blood. Heechul sipped on some water as you walked to him and got to your knees to check him out.
‘You okay?’ You asked.
‘I should be asking you that.’ He chuckled, ‘I am fine, he was angry and I understand that. Siwon would never snap without reason, Y/N.’
‘I know,’ You sighed in defeat, ‘He just went overboard.’
‘He is just angry.’
‘He almost killed you Heechul!’
‘I know Siwon,’ Heechul stroked your cheek, ‘He would have stopped because he has a limit and I know he does. I’ve lived with him long enough to know that. Go and see if he is okay, he really does care for you.’
‘I love you.’ You leant up and pecked his lips.
‘I love you too, now go.’ He pushed your shoulder softy.
Getting to your feet, you walked up the stairs slowly. On the wall besides the staircase, pictures littered the wall and many of them were of you, Siwon and his sister. The three of you had been thick as thieves when you were all small that nothing changed when you got older. You noticed a picture missing, you sighed before walking to his bedroom. You arrived before the door and knocked. You got no reply so your tried again and got the same response before you opened the door and found him sitting on the edge of the bed with a frame in his hand.
‘That should be on the wall.’ You broke the silence, closing the door behind you.
‘Just reminiscing.’ He sniffed, a tear falling on the glass, ‘Why are you here? Shouldn't you be out with Heechul?’
‘Don’t be like that,’ You took a seat next to him, ‘I never mean to slap you and I am sorry for what I did, but you need to realise that I have grown up.’
‘And I wish you hadn’t,’ He sighed, ‘Still young and naive like the little girl in this picture.’
‘Siwon,’ You held his hand, ‘You will always be my number one boy because you are my cousin and best friend. I will always love you and make time for you.’
‘I don’t think Heechul hyung will like that.’
‘I can handle Heechul.’
He turned his face to look at you, ‘I am sorry for almost choking him to death.’
‘I forgive you,’ You kissed his cheek, ‘And I am sorry for lying to you, but at least try and be okay with this? You always know I want your blessing with everything.’
‘Just give me some time, please?’ He asked, ‘This is still all new to me.’
‘I will give you all the time, now get up and lets head down for some lunch because I am starving.’ You wiped his tears with your thumb
He chuckled softly, ‘Always hungry.’
‘Because my number one cousin is an amazing chef….’

‘I now pronounce you husband and wife.’ The priest affirmed as you and your husband, Choi Siwon, stood before a chapel of people, ‘Mr and Mrs Choi.’
Today was your wedding to the man of your dreams. A man that seemed to only come every blue moon to you. You and Siwon met at church, you were sitting in the pew in front of him and your hat was blocking his view. A simple tap of the shoulder and exchange of stares had you two falling in love at first sight. Many don’t believe in love at first sight, but it was your guys philosophy along with the grace of God bringing you both together. Since then, five years you both dated. It was along period because you both wanted to make sure this was all right. You moved in two years into the relationship, shared a bed after three and still haven't had sex at five. Many would go off their heads with this, but you both believe in saving yourselves for marriage.
Siwon leaned forward, cupping your cheek softly and placed a kiss as the closing deal. Your first kiss as a married couple felt nothing like the previous kisses you both had shared. It was purer and bonding. Breaking apart, he grabbed your hand and you both walked out the church. Showers of rice fell on your heads you both ran to the car with smiles and laughter. Closing the door behind him, Siwon turned and kissed you on the forehead.
‘I love you, Mrs Choi Y/N.’
‘And I love you, Mr Choi Siwon.’
The driver took you both to reception venue where you cut the cake, had your first dance and he fished for your garter under your dress. Speeches were made and he low key wished he never asked his members. Heechul and Leeteuk were superb MC’s as everything was to your liking. All the decor turned out well, and you thank Jiwon for helping you out with that. She was an amazing sister inlaw. The evening came to an end as you were both taken to your new house. It was bought three months before the weeding as a gift from both your parents. You furnished it from roof to floor, with the help of Siwon of course, but tonight was the first time you both entered it to sleep and be a married couple.
‘You ready?’ Siwon asked, picking you up.
‘Ready as I will ever be.’ You smiled, wrapping your arms around his neck and rubbing your nose with him.
Door closed with a swift knock of his foot, he carried you upstairs to the master bedroom. Resting you softly on the clean sheets, peppering kisses on your neck. Your eyes were shut as you welcomed his soft lips with an opened mouth moan. Traveling up, he attached himself to your mouth again. Kissing with more heat then the one shared earlier on today. Your eyes shot opened, and you pushed him away gently.
‘What’s wrong my love?’ He asked, clearly concerned with your actions.
‘Let me get out of the dress,’ You reassured, ‘Get something more comfortable.’
Siwon stood up and began to undo his tie, ‘I could take you right now, regardless of the dress.’
‘Siwon!’ You scolded, walking to the closet and grabbing a shopping bag.
‘What?’ He chuckled, ‘I am just being honest to my beautiful bride.’
Pulling a silly face, you went to the bathroom. Slipping out of the dress and hanging it behind the door. You pulled out a silk nighty that was black with white lace. It was just simple lingerie, nothing major for the first night. But just another surprise as well accompanied it. Slipping into it, you checked yourself in the mirror before taking a breath. After a short prepping session, you opened the door and soft music lingered and lights were dimmed with a few candles. Siwon lay on the bed in his black boxers.
‘Wow…’ He marveled, slipping off the bed and walking to you, ‘You looked phenomenal.’
‘It’s just simple stuff.’ You shrugged, trying to play it off.
‘I couldn't have asked for anything more on our first time.’ He placed kisses on your open shoulders, slipping down a strap.
In an instant your eyes shut close as you felt your husbands soft lips on your skin. This wasn't the first time you guys had kissed, but it was the first time with such extra touches. He held you by the waist as your hands ran up his perfectly snapped arms and around his neck. Siwon began kissing up your shoulder and then advancing to your neck. Many times he had kissed your neck, but it was always simple pecks and nothing more. Just gestures if you’d like to give them a proper name. Kisses were peppered at the crook as you felt him softly suck and nibble at your soft flesh.
You knew what he was doing and you knew he had been wanting to mark you every since he laid his eyes on you, but he was a good man. The new artwork was his latest masterpiece and he determined to make better ones as the days passed as a married couple. He now held one side of your face, and kissed up the other before turning your face to him and crashing his lips into you. It was a simple enveloping as his strong hands now traveled down your back, over your supple ass. A firm squeeze was given as you squealed slightly from the contact.
‘Sorry.’ He chuckled, breaking the kiss.
‘No no….ummmm it was nothing.’ You played it off.
Smiling warmly at you, the soft music continued to linger through the air as you launched up and wrapped your legs around his bare midriff. Lips were connected once again as you tangled your fingers in his soft locks. Slowly and cautiously, he ventured back to the bed. Laying you down on the sheets, before standing at the foot and looking down at you. He had an adorning smile on his face. A smile of pure love and commitment, something he wishes to keep with you. Both of you wanted your wedding night to be the first time, and both of you were slightly nervous, but neither of you would tell the other.
‘Liking the view, Mr Choi?’ You propped yourself on your elbows.
‘More then you know, Mrs Choi.’ He lingered above you, making you lie flat on the bed.
Lips attached again, his hand traveled up your bare thigh, caressing it, as if to test the waters. As if you were going to swat it away. Not getting assaulted, he continued. His hand slipped under the nighty, and he gave a small squeeze. As if on queue, your moan followed into the kiss. Placing your hands on his shoulders, you flipped him over and now lay flush on him. He ran his tongue over your lower lip. Permission granted, your mouth opened and his tongue entered. Making out wasn't foreign to either of you, but this felt strange. A fight of dominance was at foot before an erotic rhythm was achieved. His hands were on the back of your legs, slipping under the materiel. His hands landed on your ass. It was bare, well almost. He pulled away and looked at you.
‘Surprise.’ You grinned.
‘A thong?’ He questioned, ‘I like.’
‘And it has a matching bra.’ You whispered into his ear.
His hands slipped deeper, ridding you off the nighty all in all. He left you in your underwear that was lace and nothing you had ever dared to wear prior to this moment. He all but licked his lips at the perfection that was you. Your body, your lips, your everything. Pressing him into the sheet, you sat between his legs. Your nimble fingers peeled away the material of his boxers and you couldn't help but gulp. He wasn't huge, but he was big enough to have you second think this.
Picking up on your tension, he sat up and caressed your cheek. You smiled and pushed him back, taking his semi hardness into your hand. Truth be told, you had no idea what the hell you were doing, but you read enough magazines to have a basic idea. Slowly you started pumping from the base. At first you were slow, not wanting to do anything wrong. But once Siwon started moaning, you knew you were on the right track. Slowly you began to pick up pace and having your husband thrust his head back, but soon look up at you for your warmth now took him.
Slowly you took his member into your mouth. It was hard, but you felt his hand stroking your hair. Taking a deep breath, you began bobbing. It was uncomfortable to no end but eventually you got the hang of it and you had the pile of moans and groans to prove it. You could feel Siwon tugging at your hair softly, wanting more or asking for you to stop, but either way, you rocked his world. Your hands wrapped around the base, to cover up for the fact that you couldn't take him in whole. Your moans sent vibrations down his shaft and he was on edge. Wanting to take this to the next level, you were stopped.
‘I wanna be in you.’ His words soft, eyes gentle, ‘You are doing such a great job, but I can’t let you do all the pleasuring.’
‘Take the lead.’ You smiled as he threw the remainder of your underwear on the floor.
Your bare back lay on the warm sheets. Siwon linger above, fiddling in the side drawer for something. It was lube. How it got there, you didn't question, but it was sure something to talking about after. He opened up the cap, lathering three fingers before putting the bottle on the side. He began kissing your neck again, open mouth and wet. It was something sexy and hot, something that would soon become a huge turn on in the future. You felt this cold finger at your core.
‘This is going to hurt, apparently, that’s what I heard.’ He tried to sympathize.
‘Talk about a romantic.’ You chuckled.
‘I just want you to know,’ He kissed your forehead, ‘But I promise to be gentle, okay?’
You gave a simple nod and he wasn't lying. Just the slight probing had you feeling uncomfortable, but you trusted him. He successful had one finger in and began kissing you with a passion. Soon another finger followed and the discomfort was starting to become something pleasant. Almost sensual. Soon enough all three digits were in and he was successfully preparing you. He loved you and didn't want to hurt you, because to be honest, he had no idea what he was doing himself. But he mentally thanked Kim Heechul for the sex 101 chats they seemed to have on a daily basis.
He could feel your walls tighten and he knew you were close, due to the strong hold on his back. Fingers removed, he lubed up his member and slide in. This was even worse then the fingers but you bit down on you lower lip as he fill you. It was sore as hell, but you could do this. Siwon whispered soft words in your ear, kissing you to calm you down. Once adjusted, he began to move. It was small and almost effortless. Your whimpers soon grew to moans as Siwon got more confident. You knew he was nervous, but he was doing absolutely marvelous and you thanked him mentally.
His hips began to crack back and forth as he grunted out your name. The sounds of skin against mashed well with the soft creaking of the bed. The smooth music accompanied both sounds, creating a large symphony of harmonious sounds. His pace quicken, sweat building on both of your skin. A warm feeling bubbled up in your stomach, a feeling foreign but you guess was an orgasam.
‘Nghhhh…..aaaaahhhhh….Si…woooon.’ You moaned.
‘I’m….ahhhh….close…fuck!’ His profanity spilled out and he knew he would be praying extra hard for that.
He thrusted with a force that was making you dizzy from sensual feelings. Your hands racked up his back as you felt his hot breath on your neck. His head was just above the crook as he pulled back and pounded back in. At that moment, you swore you saw a white light. Your body erupted from the erotic sensation that rocked through your system. Siwon continued moving, as if you ride out the mind fogging feeling. Slowing down, you both had to catch your breath. He pulled out and collapsed next you, breathing heavy. You looked the ceiling, then to him and then back at the ceiling.
‘Wow….’ You both said in unison.
Siwon pulled you into his arms, head on his chest, ‘I never knew that there was another way for you to make my heart beat faster.’
‘Same to you.’ You laughed softly, ‘I love you Siwon. More then anything in the world and I am glad we decided to wait.’
‘So am I my love, I love you too Y/N’ He placed a kiss atop your head.
You both lay in the bed, absorb each others company. The music still played in the background and the candles dimmed out slightly more. His heartbeat became your favourite sound that evening. His one arms cradled you close while the other stroked your arm as you lay. After a while, you finally broke the silence that was just so perfect, but you just had to.
‘Siwon?’ Your voice soft, ‘Can I ask you something?’
