       I push those worries to the back of my mind and concentrate on the job at hand, there is nothing I can do about it anyway.
       They are obviously reading the situation wrong. I have had no signs from Namjoon that he has any romantic feelings toward me.

       On a rare day off the boys all go off to spend some time doing their own thing, enjoying a little down time.
       Namjoon comes to my office and announces that I have the day off too.
      "Hahaha," I scoff at him as Unnie watches and a big grin spreads across her face. "Since when do you have the authority to make a decision like that," although, I secretly wish it might be true; this job is so full on and I haven't really taken any time for myself since arriving in Seoul.
       His eyes light up as he tells me, "Since I spoke to PD Nim and got the you the day off, because I am going to take you sightseeing, you haven't had the chance to see our beautiful city, you've been working so hard since you arrived, so grab your jacket....come on."
       Under my protests he grabs my hand and starts to stride away pulling me upright to jog behind him. As we stride through the corridors to the exit PD Nim sees us and I look at him in panic.
        He just waves and calls, "Have fun," smiling.

       There is a car waiting for us; Namjoon doesn't drive.
      "So where are we going?" I ask as Joonie sits next to me in the back seat.    
      "It's a surprise," he winks.

       A short time later we arrive at Gyeongbokgung Palace, Namjoon dons a cap and dark glasses in a vain attempt to disguise himself.
       We spent a few hours exploring this exquisite building and at ten a.m. we watch the guard change in front of Gwanghwamun, the main gate, with a throng of visitors around us; quite curiously nobody bothers us.
       I did get the feeling of him being recognised at one point, but the girls kept a respectful distance and whispered among themselves and pointed.
       He was so engrossed in telling me all about the history of the palace that he didn't even notice.

       Shortly before 1.30pm we walked back to the car chatting. I  was animating and 'oohing' and 'ahhing' at the spectacle I have just witnessed and thanking him for taking me to see this awesome place.
       He opens the door for me and as I jump in he asks, "Ready for some lunch?" Climbing in behind me.
       I answer absentmindedly, "Mmm...yes I am starving."
       He smiles. "Good, I have a table booked."
      "Oh where?" I ask quizzically.
      "Up the Namsan Tower, I take it you haven't been yet, or I am sure you would have mentioned it?" looking straight into my eyes awaiting my response.
       I am quiet for a moment, not quite taking this in. What is THIS? "Erm...no, I haven't had the chance."
       He smiles a victory smile.

       We sit in a comfortable silence for a few minutes, until I break it.
      "Namjoon, just in case I forget later, I had the best time today, thank you," blushing.
       He laughs and replies, "You're welcome shorty, it is my honour to accompany you and show you around."
       I swoon... It's the first time he has used the nickname that Jimin gave to me the first time I met them.

       The view from the tower is amazing!

       Namjoon is awesome and great to look at too! I steal a quick glance and steady my heartbeat again.
       The food is delicious! We chat comfortably over a long late lunch enjoying the view, Namjoon pointing out other places of interest and expressing that he would like to take me to them too one day.
       We were so immersed in each other and the conversation that we were oblivious to anything going on around us.

       It isn't until we reach back to his place that, how do I put this? The shit hits the fan!

       We have been photographed! And it's online with the heading:
