In The Closet. [READER × KIM NAMJOON]

_5_ Can I Tell You

Taehyung looked at me in rear view mirror, "I thought I told you"
My glare was enough to let him know that he forgot.

"well now you know" he started the car, "actually last time when I visited their home Namjoonhyung promised me to take me to the art store. I want something artistic. You know Y/N how much mom loves spending time in her art gallery."

"And you got the best guide you can have. I'll show you around once we reach there. You'll love it" Namjoon said for the first time. He looked cool but no cool attitude.

"And then we will go to mall to have some fun. A perfect date with my favourite people" Jimin said as he shuffled a playlist and connected it to the car speakers.

"And since when we are your favourite, oppa?" I teased him.

"Hey!" He said looking back from passenger seat "don't hurt my feelings like that Y/N. You both are the best people I can have as friends. And Yoongi too"

"And You and Jin too, Namjoon" he said after a pause. And we all laughed rolling our heads back.

We both were sitting silently at the back of car while Jimin and Taehyung were chatting non stop. Something about being this close to Namjoon made me feel like evaporating and then becoming invisible. When I got inside the car he waved at me and smiled a warm smile. Not a fake one or a formality one. A real one and said Hi. I Hi-ed back and silence fell all over till music got our backs as we arrived at our stop.

We stopped in front of a huge grey three story building. Each floor had the front all glass for a wall, like in the gyms, except for the tredmills we saw expensive lightings reflecting from the ceiling. And something black in the middle connecting all floors

"I'll be back after parking car."

"Ok" me Namjoon and Jimin said in unison and got out.

"It's so beautiful" I didn't realised I said that aloud while admiring the building.

"Wait till you go inside" said namjoon. Did he just replied to me? With no attitude? Wow.

I nodded.

"Awww you all waited!!" said taehyung walking to us after a short time.

"Let's go" Jimin said.

"Hey you both match, I didn't realised!" Said grinning Tae, pointing to me and Namjoon.

I looked up and down to myself and then sideways at Namjoon who was doing the same.
He wore a shirt, same blue as mine, and black oversized jacket that made him look like a mafia until he smiled flashing his dimples.

"Oh yeah Y/N. I didn't saw either"

I just smiled.

"Let's get inside before we freeze here" Jimin said pushing everyone inside. He's always like the overexcited child in amusement parks.

Taehyung rested his arm around my shoulder and we walked inside.

"Daebak!! This is so wholesome place. How come I never discovered this before." Taehyung said in amazement.

"Because it's in the outskirts of city. All people with art interests know this place. And I happen to be one of them" Said Namjoon from beside me staring at taehyung.

The store was decorated with beautiful and colorful flowers in the corner that hung from the ceiling. At the right side was the counter and at the left of great hall was a glass clock, all made up of glass and black polished metal which showed time in roman numbers ornamented with same black metal, a clock stand I guess like in movies we see. It had a crystal pendulum that moved back and forth each time a sec passed. In the middle they had a circle cut from the tiles of five meter diameter which had soil in it and from where emerged a huge tree. It's trunk looked real, it definetly wasn't a fake one. The one I saw from was a tree! The trunk divided into the branches just where the ceiling was, which had the same circle cut parallel to ground to allow branches to go further up. I can't wait to go up.
