We both ended up missing breakfast at the hotel so decided to eat out instead. I had a quick shower; pulled on a white tee, denim wash overalls and a pair of disgusting, old, hand me down timberlands Namjoon had given me for my 16th birthday (I admit, they were the only 16th birthday gift that I actually still use to this day).
"I was talking to a few people downstairs and they said that there is a pancake-"
"Pancakes?! Yes" I replied to Namjoon without a second thought. He gave me a playful tap on my cheek and laughed to himself. I rolled my eyes at him; who would refuse pancakes?
"You know, I love it when you dress like a boy. I find it very sexy" Namjoon winked at me. I returned a gag face at him.
"If I wear this kind of stuff I can spend more money on food rather than clothes because I can just raid my brothers cupboard, or yours" Namjoon froze.
"How is your older brother going to react to us dating?" he asked, paranoia pouring from his facial expression.
"I never actually agreed to date you Nam, don't get ahead of yourself" I said as I pulled his arm eagerly. "Come on lets eat! I feel like I'm going to faint from this hunger".
"You know I will catch you if you do" he replied while holding both of my hands and giving me a quick kiss on my nose. As I felt the blood rush to my cheeks I looked down at my feet.
"I know you will".
We reached the pancake house and ordered a stack of ten blueberry pancakes with banana-brownie ice cream, butterscotch sauce and whipped cream; it was so painful to eat because I knew I would never be bothered to exercise it off.
"You know I got over 20 missed calls from Laura yesterday?" I told Namjoon as I sipped my tea.
"What, over twenty in just one day? That sounds like something Jimin would do to Jungkook" As he laughed I stuffed a mouthful of pancakes into my mouth so he wouldn't recognise my slight sadness. It's not as if Jungkook ever told me he liked me, heck he never even gave off any signs so he probably doesn't, I thought to myself. At that exact moment G-Dragons 'Who You' started to play; Laura couldn't be done with Jimin already?
"Yeoboseyo" I said while answering my phone with my mouth still stuffed.
"Ah Rianna?" The person who called said. I began to cough on my food and so stole Namjoon's orange juice and gulped the whole thing down.
"Jungkook?" I said trying to regain my composure.
"Yeah it's me. I called you eighteen times yesterday and texted you a lot too, how come you didn't reply?" Oh crap, so it wasn't all Laura.
"Umm, I just assumed they were all from Laura. Sorry, sorry. Why did you call?" I was starting to feel a little nervous, why did he call so many times?
"Oh um, no reason really. I just wanted to see how you were. How is hyung?" Jungkook asked. I looked over to Namjoon who was glaring at me angrily for finishing his juice.
"He is fine, we are just eating breakfast now"
"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realise; I will leave you to it and call you in the evening Amsterdam time?"
"Kookie, it will be 3am in Korea"
"Perfect! Not as if I will be doing anything else. Talk to you then and stay safe!" Jungkook cheerfully said before putting the phone down. He called me that many times just to see how I was? Strange bunny.
"Who was that?" Namjoon asked.
"Ah, Jungkook" I said still a little puzzled by the boys behaviour. Namjoon pulled out his iPhone from his pocket.
"I should call him to see how his Sofa cover went" He said ready to dial his number, but I quickly grabbed his phone.
"Nope, don't even think about talking about work on your holiday. Especially when you're with me". I gave him an evil smile while hiding his phone in my back pocket. He suddenly stood up and pushed his face so close to mine that I could smell his musky shampoo. I gulped.
"Don-, don't you dare try to" I stuttered. His face gradually got closer to mine; oh god he was so handsome with that silver hair, I thought forgetting that we were still in public. Our noses touched as he pulled me closer so I closed my eyes and waited for the irresistible feel of his lips, but then I felt a hand reach quickly into my back pocket. That ass teased me."Thank you for my phone" He smugly smiled while heading to the counter to pay. How rude!
We headed out of the pancake house and I immediately held onto Namjoon to protect myself from the bite of the cold wind."You want to go somewhere warm?" he said while wrapping his arm around my shoulders.
"Can we do some shopping? We can get the souvenir shopping out of the way and I want to drain your credit card as payback for not having time to see me ever since you joined Big Hit. He gave me a puppy dog look, probably in the hope that I would tell him that I was joking - I wasn't.
For the rest of the afternoon we went from shop to shop, laughing at our own inside jokes more than actually buying things for our friends and family. We tried to act out how the other BTS members would act while shopping too, our favourite being Suga buying a necklace for $3 (mihanae x2 min ToT). We headed back to the hotel at around 2pm after eating lunch at a diner.
As soon as we reached his hotel room I kicked my timbs off, chucked the bags of gifts onto the sofa and jumped on Namjoon's freshly made bed before he even had a chance to enter the room - that's what he gets for teasing me during breakfast. I rolled from side to side, letting my hair had come lose from its ponytail so there was a sea of brown locks spreading across the pillows. Namjoon stood at the door and stared at me.
"How can you be the same beautiful girl that downed 7 out of 10 of those pancakes in the morning?"
"How can this extremely sexy man in front be the same chubby hamster that I used to rave to Eminem and 2pac with?"
"Ha-ha I remember those times! Do you remember when you went back to England to visit your family and missed the Kanye West Concert by four days? You went crazy and refused to listen to any of his songs for the next few weeks".
I covered my face with the white sheets out of embarrassment as we reminisced; gosh I was such a diva. His warm hands then pulled the sheets away from my face and held onto mine. As the seconds passed my smile started to fade and I looped back into a state of depression: this moment will never last; we will never be able to be a normal couple.
PLAY MEDIA NOW ☺
"What is going to happen when I go back to university and you go back to Big Hit to prepare for your showcase?" I said while protectively bringing his hand to my chest. I felt him lie next to me and then wrap his arms around my body. It was comforting.
"I don't know what will happen. I chose this path because being a rapper is all I have ever wanted to be, even though I knew it involved leaving all my longing and love behind".
I understood what he was saying and knew I would never in a million years get in the way of his path to success, but it still hurt. My throat became dry and I started to find it harder to swallow back my tears.
"Just cry, let it out now when I'm here to comfort you" he whispered into my ear, and with that I let myself go. Letting the tears fall down my face I buried myself into his chest as he kissed my head. It had been a good five minutes, but I still hadn't managed to stop sobbing.
"We can't, we can't tell the future no~"
Namjoon began to sing. I recognised the song straight away, as I have been obsessed with it still to this day: it was Jason Derulo - 'What If'. I looked up at him and began to laugh through my tears; half at his tone-deaf voice and half at the fact that my sweet Namjoon was the master of cheesy romances.
"Picture me on one knee with the perfect diamond ring... It could happen, raise three kids and we grow old so happily..." He said while nuzzling my ear. I held onto his clothes tighter.
"That day will come".
