I Promise - BTS

Epilogue: Namjoon

"I love it, Namjoon. Thank you." I say looking into his soft eyes.

"You aren't going to fight me on the cost?" He says walking up closer to me.

"If I couldn't fight you on the clothes, there's no point in fighting on this either." I say as he takes the bracelet from me. He flips it over and shows me the inscription.

With Love, Dragon Eyes

I giggle at the name. I told him all about how I got hot and bothered by him shushing me when we were kidnapped. He always calls himself that when he's speaking in the third person to me. I repeat the two words delicately, taking in their meaning, "With Love."

"Y/n, I love you." Namjoon says, putting his hand up to cup my cheek. He then continues while clasping the bracelet onto my wrist, "I've loved you since the moment you stepped forward to save Jimin from that Sasaeng, and I know it's only been a day since you've returned to Korea. I was so scared, but you were so calm. You were so determined to save Jimin-ah. My love will be the only thing I can give you, as a thank you for that." 

Tears were already streaming down my cheeks, "I love you too, Namjoon. So much."

He pulls me in, and our lips meet in a soft and loving kiss. I wrap my arms around his neck and pull, deepening the kiss further. His hands travel away from my cheeks down to my hips and he squeezes gently. He licks my bottom lip, asking permission to enter, and I willingly give it to him. His tongue hits mine, and instantly dominates. He tastes like the strawberry soju we've been drinking. I don't know how long we've been making out in the closet, but we were interrupted by the clearing of someone's throat.

We immediately part and look to the door. There standing in the doorway is Jin. He looks mad, I think. Is he not happy about this? Namjoon takes a step forward, "What's wrong, Hyung?"

"You're putting her at risk, Namjoon-ah. We all agreed, why couldn't you just wait?" Jin says sadly.

"I know we did, but I just..." He looks at me and I know I have hurt, and confusion written all over my face, because his face changes to a more concerned one, "Baby, don't get upset. We just all agreed that I should wait until our contract is up. We have rules against dating, but no one has to know. Right Hyung?"

Jin sighs, "If they find out about her-"
"You mean ARMY?" I ask cutting him off.

"I mean anyone. We have an image to protect. Being seen with a woman is less than desirable to over half of our fan base, as well as the public endorsements we could lose. It would be a PR nightmare." Jin states.

I hum in thought, "So, we don't get caught. As far as anyone knows, I simply work for Hybe as a financial director. That would explain why I would be with you-"

"You can thank me for that one." Yoongi says popping up behind Jin, he puts a hand on his broad shoulder and smiles, "Hyung, this is fine. They have all of us to protect them. I hope you're ready Y/n. Gangsters and batshit crazy exes are nothing compared to the chaos of BTS."

💜💜1 year later💜💜

It took some time, but Jin started coming around after a month or so. He did keep close tabs on us when we were working together, but we always kept our distance. We haven't had any issues and have even told Bang PD about our relationship. He already had his reservations about me in the first place. Rightfully so, I did get his 'work sons' kidnapped, and almost killed.

Today on our one-year anniversary, Namjoon has promised me something intimate. However, knowing everyone else, I'm sure they'll crash it in some way. We're currently shooting the next episode of RUN BTS, and I'm excited because it's all the games I was going to play with them back when we shot 'In The Soop'. Unfortunately, but not unsurprisingly, none of that footage ever saw the light of day.

As the shooting wraps, I sneak away to finish up some necessary paperwork before meeting Namjoon at his apartment, which is conveniently found one floor below mine. A couple months ago, we were talking about our future together after BTS. I jokingly said I would just move into the same apartment building so we could 'live together, but apart'. This super smart but dumb man decided that was a great idea, and how are you going to say no to a dimpled smile.

A knock on my door pulls my eyes away from my computer screen, "Come in!"

"Hey, baby," Of course, in walks the man himself. I smile up at him as he walks up and sits in the chair in front of my desk. Manspreading. I turn away and take a sip of my water to cover my newfound blush, "Are you ready for tonight?"

"Not sure, you haven't exactly told me what to be ready for." I say turning back towards him, only to find he's moved right up close to me. He puts a hand on each armrest of my chair and leans in close.

"The Maknae said they would help you get ready. So, prepare yourself for that whirlwind." He says with a smirk.

"Oh god...you hate me, don't you?" I say sarcastically.

He chuckles at me and lifts his left hand to drag his index finger along my jawline, resting it underneath my chin, "I could never."

He smiles and leans in and kisses me tenderly, I respond in kind. When we part, he leans his forehead on mine. He inhales deeply then sighs, "They'll meet you in your apartment at 4. Don't be late, Jimin hates when people are late."

I laugh, "but he's always late."
"I don't try to understand his logic," He heads to the door, "See you at 6."
