Chapter 3: The Question

Jung Haneul's POV

Today is Saturday and as usual, I started my morning by preparing myself for a morning jog with Namjoon. Since they moved, I would often see Namjoon come out of their house for a jog. We only jog together every weekend since that's the only time that I am able to. Afterwards, we would proceed with working out inside their house with the presence of our instructor since a new routine would be given to us again. The change happens every Saturday.

I wore a navy blue sports tank top and tucked it in my gray sweatpants. Of course, I still have my sports bra underneath. I also wore my rubber shoes and securely fixed my hair up in a ponytail.

"Working out with your hot man?" Chaerin asked as soon as she saw me when she came out of her room. She still wore her scrubs and she looked so messy and tired. She's been working night shifts in the hospital for this week and today was her day off. She probably just got home from her shift.

I nodded and placed my towel on my shoulder. "But correction, he's not my man." I told her and she just lightly chuckled. Gosh, why do they always tease me with him? Not that it's bad nor do I find him bad that's why I don't want to be linked with him, but it's just that I don't particularly enjoy others seeing malice with me and Namjoon's relationship.

"Whatever. I'm sleeping. Don't bother me the whole day," Chaerin said before entering her room.

I finally went outside and saw that Namjoon was already waiting for me outside of our gate. He was leaning against the cemented walls of the small gate to which I came out from. "Did you wait long?" I asked and he just shook his head, also standing properly.

He wore a white shirt that has the letters 'RRL' on the front and wore a khaki shorts along with his rubber shoes. He doesn't look like he's going to work out if I'm being honest.

"Do you know how to ride a bike?" He suddenly asked me and he had the cutest dimpled-smile as he enthusiastically waited for my answer. But to his misfortune, "I don't," I pouted. I've never even rode a bike before. I just grew up riding vehicles of such and my parents never bought me a bike to begin with.

He pouted and I could not hold back my smile. He's disappointed, I know, but he gave such a cute expression of being upset. "I can ride you though," I immediately realized my error and corrected myself as if I didn't realize how my mistake sounded so dirty. "I mean, I can ride with you," I corrected. Although he did show a bit of a surprise from my mistake, I did not point it out. Again, I made a mistake and it wasn't intentional. My mind is still a bit not functioning well since I just woke up.

"I was thinking if we could just go for a bike but since you can't, uhm, can you wait for me? I'll just change my clothes."

"You could've asked me sooner, Namjoon," I told him with a little chuckle.

He placed a hand on his nape. "I thought about it just this morning, that's why I did not bother to text you."

I nodded. "Go ahead and change. I'll wait here." Namjoon just nodded before he went in their house to change. He came back immediately wearing a navy blue shirt and dark gray gym shorts.

"Are you trying to match with me?" I judged and looked at our outfits.

"No. Coincidentally, these are the only workout clothes that's left with me. Laundry isn't done until later afternoon." He explained.

We wasted no more time and started our 30 minute jog in the morning. We would often run a short race and of course, I always lose because his limbs are far longer than mine. It's unfair yet we just do it to entertain ourselves.

I tried to outrun him this time but I did not notice a lost rock chilling on the road. I stepped on it and it caused me to have my foot step improperly and I already knew I was falling.
