Unconditional [Namjin FF]

The Day I Fell

SEOK JIN

"Hyung are you ready?" Jimin called from outside my door. "10 minutes" I lied. I don't even know what to wear. I sighed and rummaged through my closet the fifth time. At I last I decided to wear a white button-down, a yellow hoodie, and my favourite blue faded jeans. I chose one of my white sneakers because I don't want to wear my worn-out high tops to someone's place.  

"What took you so long?"Tae whined. "I couldn't choose what to wear" 

"Are we still going?" Jimin yelled from the door. 

I don't even know how I ended up actually going with them to meet an unknown guy. Hobi told me in the college today that I can join them. But I had promised my brothers already, so here I am on a bus going to meet Mr. Unknown. 

NAMJOON

Jungkook has been busy all day making arrangements. He was so particular about everything, it seemed he was making wedding arrangements. "Ah, Hyung I forgot to pick up the cold drinks. Can you go and bring some?" "Yeah sure" 

I  came back after some 20 minutes. As I entered the front door I saw three new pairs of shoes. But one was oddly familiar. I went to the kitchen to keep the bottles of cold drinks before joining the guests in the living room. 

SEOK JIN

We were standing in front of a big house which had a huge lawn decorated with tall trees and colourful flowers. "Are you sure this is it?" I asked in surprise. "I guess so. The address is this..." Jimin said checking his phone. "Let me call him"

A few moments later the front door to the house opened and a boy with big doe eyes came towards us. "Jimin, Taehyung" He jumped to them and they embraced each other in a group hug. I smiled seeing their friendship. It was sweet. They broke the hug and Jungkook looked at me and bowed. "Hello" This boy has manners, and then there are my brothers, absolute brats. I said hello to him and walked towards his house. At the entrance, while opening my shoes, I realised I absent-mindedly wore the same high tops. Jungkook led us to the living room, which was way bigger than ours. There were fairy lights over the walls, making an outline of a city skyline against the black wall. The other walls were mainly beige and brown. A tall tree was standing at one corner draped in sparkling fairy lights and some random decorations. "Aren't your parents home?" I inquired. "Ah no. I'm so sorry they had to leave for some urgent work. But my brother will be here soon" "That's okay." The boys crashed on the sofa and started playing video games. Something caught my attention. On a wall behind the tree, paintings were hung. They were really amazing. I noticed at the bottom of each painting it was signed JK, 'Jungkook', I thought to myself. "You seriously paint so well Jungkook" "Ah thank you Seokjin Hyung" Jungkook blushed so hard. One thing I have noticed so far is that he is very shy.  

There was one painting that was signed NJ. I was about to ask Jungkook who's it was but then I heard someone say "I'm so sorry I'm a bit late. Hope you weren't waiting for too long." I froze where I was. I just couldn't mistake his deep husky voice. It was him, I was in his house, Jungkook is his brother. And then all of a sudden it hit me, NJ, Namjoon. I dared not turn around. I don' want to face him. If I do, I'm not sure of what I might say.

NAMJOON

I went to the living room, from where the shouts of the boys were coming. The boys were crashed onto the sofa, I looked around for the other guy who was supposed to be there. He was standing, looking at the paintings. "Oh, shit..." I whispered. He had the same wide shoulders. Is it him? There were red high tops at the entrance. Who else could it be? I cleared my throat and said "I'm so sorry I'm a bit late. Hope you weren't waiting for too long." That guy didn't move for a second. But then, he turned around slowly. And yes, it was him. Kim Seokjin was standing right in front of my eyes, in my house. I could tell by his face that he was as shocked to see me as I was to see him. We were just staring wildly at each other. 

"Uh, Hyung? Are you two okay?" Kookie said coming near us. "Ah... yes... yes we are" I was so flustered that I couldn't come up with a decent answer. "Do you both know each other?" Kookie asked looking at Seokjin then me. "No"  "Yes"  We both gave completely different answers. "Uh, I think you both should go and talk somewhere else. We are shouting a bit too much here" Kookie looked absolutely confused. "Yeah I guess we can go to the patio deck" I looked at Seokjin for approval and he nodded. 

I headed to the patio and Seokjin followed me. Our patio was honestly the best place in our entire house. The patio overlooked our garden which was well maintained and it has a huge willow tree and many coulourful flowers. I chose this place because I thought Seokjin will like it here. 

We sat in opposite sofas and Seokjin was looking at the garden. I could tell by his face that he liked it here. A gentle breeze was blowing and it softly ruffled his hair, and at that moment I saw the most beautiful face ever and fell in love. I never thought it was possible, but I did right at this moment. All of a sudden I wanted nothing but spend my entire life with him. 

"So... it's you" Seokjin said in a low voice looking at me. "Yeah, I didn't know that our brothers are friends" I said looking at the garden. "Yeah. If you knew then you probably wouldn't have invited me" He said in a sharp tone which shocked me. "Wha-what?" 

He shifted to completely face me. "Yes obviously. Why are you acting surprised? Because I found out your disgust about me? Don't worry it doesn't matter to me. But I just wanted to why you dislike me so much? Why did you say no when your brother asked if we know each other or not? Did I do something wrong to you or anyone? I don't think so. But you still keep avoiding me as if I am the worst person on this planet. I know it's uncomfortable for you to sit here with me and pretend to be friends with me for your brother's sake. But just please tell me what did I ever do to you?"  He spoke so much and so fast that it was a bit funny and I chuckled. "Now why are you laughing? What is so funny? Did it all seem like a joke to you? Don't you think-" "Sshhhhhhh" I shushed him coming closer and putting a finger on my lips. He seemed a bit flustered by my action. "Don't you think you speak too much?" I said laughing. "I'm just a bit mad and wanted to know the reason why you are rude to only me?" He pouted, and my goodness those plumpy lips. I sat down next to him. "Well, I'm sorry that you felt that I was being rude to you. I didn't mean for the things to turn out like that. And honestly, I was looking for a chance to apologise to you. So... Is there any way that you can forgive me?" He stared at me for a bit too long. "Hmm... let me think. If you seriously want to make up then..." He looked so cute while thinking. "Buy me dinner someday?" He finally replied. "Yes yes. Okay done!" I jumped up to that idea and he smiled at me. "How about next Friday? If you're free. And which place do you prefer?" I was so excited about this idea. "Yeah, I'm free next Friday. The place I don't know because I'm new here. I don't prefer anything too fancy though. Can't you choose?" 

"Okay then. Be ready at 5 on Friday. I'll come and pick you up" "Okay" We both were smiling very hard. And I was relieved that he didn't have any misconception about me anymore and even happier because I am his friend now. We were actually having a conversation and I fell a little bit more with his every smile.
