Dancing your way into my heart | Namseok Texting/ Instagram

°PART SEVENTEEN°

Namjoon's POV

I was waiting near the dance studio. I opened Instagram to pass my time before Hobi arrives. I saw Jeon Kookie's new post.
Why does Jimin always comment like that? Are those two actually dating? It seems like they're secretly together and Jimin is trying to expose them. They do look like a cute couple though, so comfortable and happy with each other.

I can't even imagine being that close to Hobi, ever. Now that I think about it, there's not even a single thing that's common between us. I should consider myself lucky to have known someone like him. I should know my place. He's way out of my league anyway.

I felt a tap on my back. Hobi's here.

"Ready for your dance class?", he asked with his sunshine smile.

I was dead tired after the session. My soul attained peace when Hobi said we'll stop for today. My feet hurt like shit. My muscles were sore as hell. I wasn't gonna quit though. No way. I need this. I'm not sure why, but I need to do this. I'm starting come out of my comfort zone and that's making me happy.

Spending time with him felt wonderful. Watching his dance was unbelievably satisfying. Each movement of his made my heart quiver. Every bit of pain on my body faded away as I watched him.

He sat next to me after practising his dance routine. I was scrolling through Instagram and came across his picture with that jeon kookie guy.

"You guys look cute in the pic", I said showing him my phone.

He chuckled, sounded like music to my ears.

"Thank you. It was not supposed to be posted. Kookie was crazy to upload it", he said.

"Is he your boyfriend? Don't get me wrong. You guys look real close. I'm just curious", I asked. I honestly hoped he would say what I wanted to hear.

He laughed again.

"Kookie and me?? No way!!! He's like a younger brother to me. We are real close, but not in the way you thought", he answered.

My heart was jumping around in my chest out of happiness.

"Jimin kept commenting suspicious stuff. I thought he was trying to expose you two or something. I'm sorry if I'm being too nosy", I tried to make an excuse.

"Jimin is seriously a crack-head. He makes some really inappropriate comments sometimes. He doesn't even consider the fact that Kookie is his boyfriend", he was still laughing.

"Oh so Kookie is Jimin's boyfriend? I see", I said before I realised, "KOOKIE IS JIMIN'S BOYFRIEND??!!"

Hobi was laughing so hard he literally fell on to the floor.

"JIMIN IS A CRAZY LITTLE SHIT", I screamed.

"You've no idea. Those two are so lovey-dovey while we practise, but on social media Jimin makes stupid comments making us look like the couple. I don't know why they're so secretive about their relation. I would show off my lover, if I had one", he said with a sad smile.

I pat his back. I suck at consoling people. I didn't know what else to do.

"I heard you're single", he said.

FUCK.

"I uh yeah I'm single. How did you know?", he definitely caught me off guard.

"I asked Tae. I'm surprised a good looking man like you is still single."

"Well I uh... I guess I'm not that likeable."

"Are you kidding me? I think you're sweet. To be honest at first I thought you were a narcissist. Now that I spent some time with you, I think that's just a fake personality you put on for social media."

No one's ever told me that. Everyone always assumed I'm self-centered. I lost a bunch of people I was close to because of that assumption. Even Tae misunderstood me. I only had Jin hyung and Yoongi hyung to help me out during my worst days. I used to feel so left out...

Not anymore though. This moment is the most beautiful moment in my life. I couldn't be happier than this.

"Thank you for understanding me", I said holding back the urge to tackle him into a hug.

He really is my inspiration.
