Ocean Eyes • Kim Namjoon

Chapter 4: Our Little Secret

You don't know how long you were kissing Namjoon for, but all you knew is you weren't cold anymore. His lips felt so nice and soft and you couldn't believe this was actually happening. You lifted your hands and put them on his neck to bring him closer to you.

He seemed to have a similar idea, because he had put his arms around your waist and lifted you into his lap. Nothing could be heard except for the wind rustling the leaves, the occasional cricket, and the sound of your sharp inhales as you breathed through your nose.

You gently pulled away from him after some time, and rested your forehead on his with your noses bumping together.

"Holy shit," you whispered. You tried to form a more legit response but then you remembered that you were in Namjoon's lap. You were in Namjoon's lap with your arms around his neck and his arms around your waist. And you two just made out. For a very long time. And suddenly, you felt that holy shit was an extremely appropriate response.

Namjoon let out a breathy chuckle, and lightly pecked your lips. "My thoughts exactly."

Your mouth was dry, but you still swallowed, and you looked into those damn eyes of his. "I'm not dreaming, right? Like, that just happened?" "Nice going Y/n, you were able to say more than two words." you mentally applauded yourself.

"I really hope that just happened. Otherwise that was one of the best damn dreams I've ever had." Your cheeks started turning red, and the warmth of them hit Namjoon's face, and he slightly pulled away from you. One of his hands came up to caress your cheek and he gave you such a warm smile that you felt instantly safe with him. "You're so beautiful." His eyes shone in the moonlight, and you could read every emotion that was swirling in his eyes - like it was a book written just for you.

"Okay, what's the catch?" You asked him. He gave you a questioning look in return.

"Catch? What do you mean, catch?"

"I mean, you're smart, you're funny, you're absolutely gorgeous. You could have any girl in the world, and yet you're here with me. I haven't done anything to deserve this." He smiled and kissed the tip of your nose.

"Sure you have. You deserve this because you're you. Because I too find you smart, funny and gorgeous. I've been wanting to kiss you since the first moment I've laid eyes on you."

You laughed lightly. "Yeah, that's a massive mood." You leaned forward to kiss him again, hoping to relish in the feeling of his lips for a little while longer.

After about 5 minutes, your lips were feeling chapped and you were barely able to keep your eyes open.

"It's really late. I should probably get to bed." You said. Namjoon nodded in agreeance, and lifted you off of his lap and grabbed the tea mugs.

"At least let me be a gentleman and walk you to your room." You giggled and nodded at him.

You both walked inside and he quickly went to the sink to deposit the used mugs and he came back to you and stuck out his hand for you to hold.

His hand was absolutely massive and completely encased yours and you felt downright giddy at the feeling.

Namjoon looked at you and saw your smile and he laughed. You two got to your door and he started playing with your fingers.

"I don't want tonight to end. I'm scared that I'm going to wake up in the morning and I dreamed this whole night." Namjoon muttered while staring at your tiny hands in his. You smiled, knowing that you had the same effect on him that he had on you.

You decided to be brazen and put your hand on his cheek and tilted his face to look at you. Once his eyes met yours, you quickly rushed forward to plant a kiss right on his lips. When you pulled away, you gently patted his cheek and smiled.

"Have a good night, Joon. I'll see you in the morning."

"Good night gorgeous."

———

You woke up at 7:30am and you were cursing yourself. You were downright exhausted but you knew that you couldn't go back to sleep - thoughts of last night kept running through your head.

You gently touched your lips, and you almost wondered if you dreamed the whole Namjoon thing. That's the only logical explanation, right? He couldn't possibly like you. Not no way, not no how.

You decided to just go and wash your face and make some coffee because sleeping was off the table at this point.

Once your face was cleaned, you went to the kitchen to brew some coffee but stopped when you saw the two mugs in the sink. "Well, shit. Maybe it did happen."

You put the coffee on and worked on washing the two mugs in the sink. You were exhausted, and hadn't had coffee yet so you were completely zoned out and were going through the motions of cleaning the mugs. You were so into your own world, you didn't notice a certain gorgeous, brown-haired sneak up behind you. You jumped when you felt a pair of arms circling your waist and a gentle kiss pressed behind your ear.

"Good morning gorgeous." Namjoon whispered in your ear. "I couldn't sleep much last night. I couldn't stop thinking about you." You smiled and leaned more into his arms. You were starting to think you could get used to this.

"I made coffee if that'll wake you up?"

"Hm, that sounds nice. I do think I need something else to help me wake up though." He continued kissing up your neck and tilted your head towards him and he gave you a soft kiss. "God I could get used to this."

"Joon, I'm really happy - god, I can't tell you how happy I am, but this has been a lot to process. Is it okay if we don't tell any of our friends what's going on with us, whatever that is?" Namjoon looked at you and slowly retracted his arms.

"Would that make you happy?" There was a slight change in his demeanour that you barely picked up on, but it was there.

"Yeah, it would. You know, work has just been crazy, and now this thing with you. I think my brain just needs to catch up and process everything."

"Okay, we'll keep it quiet. But, we can still do stuff like this, right?" He said as he kissed you. You didn't know what you were more obsessed with at that moment - his lips or his eyes.

"I'm stressed and confused, not stupid." You smiled, and with that, you threw your arms around his neck and pulled him into you to kiss those addicting lips again.
