stuck with you; knj (ambw)

Chapter 2

Namjoon POV

"Hyung, take me with you.." Jungkook whines as he watches the purple haired man pack his bags.

"I can't, Jungkook." Namjoon chuckles deeply. "This is something I have to do on my own."

If he was being completely honest, Namjoon didn't really have a reason for wanting to travel to New York. He has no business there, no songs to write and no collaborations to work on.

In fact, they had just come back from traveling the world during their stadium tour a few months ago. But Namjoon just feels the city calling his name. It's more of a gut feeling, if anything.

Since he has no current obligations in Korea and the staff gave him the green light, he has decided to give in to this gut feeling. His flight leaves tomorrow morning.

"Do you think you might meet your soulmate?" Jungkook asks curiously.

Those words make Namjoon pause in his tracks, sucking in a breath. "I..I don't know, I hope so."

All the boys know how desperate Namjoon is to meet his soulmate. His biggest aspiration in life was to make a difference with his music. He knows he has accomplished it and he continues to do so every single day. Namjoon is extremely proud of it.

However, he also wants to fall in love and start a family. That goal is extremely important to him as well. But after all of these years, he has started to lose hope.

Some people go through life and never find their soulmate. Namjoon doesn't want to end up like them.

"I think you will." Jungkook smiles at his leader. "You deserve it, hyung."

"Thank you, Jungkook." Namjoon grins warmly back at the maknae.

"I'll let you finish packing." Jungkook nods, standing up from the bed. He heads towards the door. "Goodnight, hyung."

"Goodnight." The man sighs as the Jungkook closes the door behind him.

Namjoon hadn't given much thought to the possibility of finding his soulmate on this trip. But now that Jungkook has brought it up, it's all he can think about.

He wonders what she will look like.

Is she Korean as well? Maybe Korean-American.

Wait, what if she's a foreigner? That would definitely be an interesting situation. But at least he speaks English, so that would come in handy.

Namjoon continues to mull over the possibilities as he finishes packing his things. His flight is early in the morning so he wants to make sure that he has everything together before he goes to bed.

Clothes, money, passport, snacks..that should be about it.

He sets everything to the side in his room and then climbs into bed.

Namjoon thinks to himself as he stares at the ceiling. He's not sure why he's going on this trip, but he hopes something makes it worth it. Or someone.
