DEAR FUTURE LOVER

HOW TO BE FRIEND WITH YOUR HIGH SCHOOL CRUSH (5)

With a sigh, Namjoon looked down at his watch. Sun is setting now...leaving a bronzy scarlet effect behind. A soothing warm breeze was blowing. Sweet fragrance of flowers filled the air.

Everything was perfect and wonderful except the fact that the person he was waiting for was not here.

It's been 3 days...

Namjoon has been visiting this park regularly...but no trace of Jin.

After waiting for a bit more, he was about to get up when he saw a guy in oversized white tee and jeans with a black cap walking towards the lake. Though his back was facing Namjoon, he knew it was that very person he's waiting for so long.

He started walking towards the man with uneven breaths  and shaking hands. Clearly....his emotions were all mixed up and he was totally clueless about what to tell the other guy.

He watched him sitting down under a tree. After a moment he took off his cap and flipped his smooth black hair, causing a mild heart attack for Namjoon.

After standing for a bit more... Namjoon gulped and started walking towards the black haired.

His face was not totally visible from where Namjoon was standing, but still he can see a bit of his plump lips...black rimmed round glasses covering his deep dark eyes...sharp jawline....sharp nose...

He was lost....just like he used to get lost years ago, in his highschool days...

That's why  he didn’t notice that the boy infront of him was looking at him with a confused look.

- ' um..may I help you? '

The smooth and gentle voice of the man sitting infront of him startled him, and then he realised he was standing right infront of Seokjin for a minute or two.

- ' Uh...nn..no...not really... I mean...uh...I '

The black haired started laughing softy at this utterly confused man. Namjoon's cheeks turned slightly pink...for embarrassment , and for this heartmelting sweet laughter.

- ' You're definitely confused Mr...wait.'

Jin took out a water bottle from his bag and offered it to Namjoon, who took it with a bit of hesitation.
After drinking some  water...he was feeling a bit better.

- ' Thanks for the water. '

Jin gave his natural soft smile and said
- ' Anytime. But you look confused...is there something I can help with? '

Once again Namjoon started sweating. He really was clueless  about what to tell. Jin noticed this hesitation in his eyes and said
- ' Hey....come sit for a moment. ' - he patted the ground besides him.
- ' Umm?'
- ' Come and sit down. Do as I tell... I think it will help you maybe. '

Though his heart was beating faster... Namjoon went and sat besides Seokjin.

- ' Now close your eyes and take a deep breath. '
- ' Wh..what?'
- ' Just do it Mr. '
- ' Oh...okay. '

He did as instructed..and to his surprise, he was really feeling calm and confident.
- ' Better? '

He opened his eyes and looked at Jin. He still can't believe he was actually sitting besides him.

- ' Yeah..better. '
- ' Very good. Now tell me, how can I help you? '

Namjoon went silent for a moment. Then took out the photo from his pocket.

- ' I think this is you....maybe?'

Jin looked at the picture and was totally shocked.
- ' This...this pic...how...where you found it? '
