Chapter 32: Perfect

Jung Haneul's POV

"Oh?" I exclaimed after finding Namjoon's car parked in front of the company building. I no longer waited for him to come out and open the door for me and immediately got in the passenger's seat.

"This is sudden," I said.

"Not for me." He smirked proudly. "I hope you have enough energy because I am planning to take you out on a date everyday for two weeks." He began driving the car towards I don't know where.

"What?!" My eyes widened at his words. "Everyday?! Are you out of your mind?!"

"No. I'd be out of my mind if I don't do that." He chuckled.

"But, Namjoon. A date everyday is so excessive, don't you think? We literally live beside each other, what's the point?"

"The point is, I'm taking you to the dates that I promised but broke and those that I wasn't able to do with you." He said nonchalantly as if an everyday date isn't absurd at all.

"Won't it be too dangerous for you? What if paparazzis see you?" I asked.

"I'll rent a whole place for privacy if I have to, Haneul."

I sighed. There's no point in arguing with him about it because he looks committed to it already. It's not that I don't want to go out on a date with him. I'm just worried that we'll get caught, and getting caught can damage his reputation as an idol. As petty and absurd as it may sound, that's the sad truth about an idol and their fans. It doesn't apply to everyone in the fandom, but they exist and they aren't a rare case either.

"I'm just kidding. Everyday is really absurd, but I meant it when I said that I'll take you to the dates that I promised but broke." He sighed. "I felt bad, you know? Even if you always told me that you understand and it was okay, it was never okay for me."

He took my hand that was resting on my lap, then he planted a kiss on the back of my palm. "You deserve better, baby, and that's what I'm going to give you."

My heart fluttered at his words. He just makes me fall in love with him over and over again. My chest sometimes can't handle the warmth and joy that he's making me feel even with the smallest action or words that he does and says.

"Plus Jimin being able to take you out more than I did after I became an idol just didn't sit right with me," he admitted with a pout on his face.

I chuckled. "That's why you were jealous of him," I said, pointing out the obvious.

Soon later, we made it to a casual-dining restaurant. There aren't really a lot of people, which is a relief. It wouldn't be too difficult to escape if Namjoon gets recognized or what, and I already have an excuse if someone asks what's my relationship with him. I'll pretend to be his cousin.

We ordered various dishes, and I was right when he wasn't left unrecognized by people. The waitress was surprised to see him, but she didn't declare if she was a fan or not. Still, she recognized him. Fortunately, she didn't really pay attention to me and was deeply focused on Namjoon who ordered our food.

I'm really worried. I know that Namjoon knows what he's doing, but I can't help it. He has the publics' eyes on him.

"Relax," he said softly, keeping his eyes on me.

I sighed. "I'm sorry. I can't help it."

He smiled softly, reassuring me that everything will be fine. It's just that this is the first time that we went out in a public place where anyone can literally see us even if they don't want to. We seldom went out together since he started his career.
