Soulmate 1.5 : The meaning of love

Namjoon was mortified.

Mortified.

"Come on, let's take the bus." Elina had difficulties to hold back her laugh

Namjoon did not have a driving license. He was counting on Yoongi driving them back, since the last thing he expected was to go on date with the girl. When she had asked him, he couldn't even say a word. Not even a sound came out from his mouth. Afraid she would change her mind, he nodded.

Several time.

"Namjoon, let's take the bus come on!" Elina said

Namjoon was the cutest man she ever came across. His tall frame was not fitting his personality at all. The bus driver had a shock when he saw the small girl drag behind her a tall man with bulky shoulders. It was almost lunch time and through all his years of experience, he had never seen a couple like that.

"Two tickets for Portfolio." Elina said grabbing her purse and paying.

Now, Namjoon wanted to hide even more. She was taking him on their first date and she was paying. He had left his wallet at the penthouse far from expecting the situation, again.

"I have some money Koala stop worrying." Elina laughed seeing the dejected male pouting

"I wanted to pay for the first date." He grumbled

"Because you are taking me out on dates again?" Elina smiled playfully

She didn't expect Namjoon to fiercely look at her.

"Tons." He said his voice strong, his hold on her hand strengthening lightly.

Elina blushed lightly and he smiles. Namjoon was perhaps a little clumsy, but he was also a sweetheart. Had his ways with words when at ease almost competing with Taehyung or Jungkook to have what he wants. The stop soon came and Elina couldn't help but let her smile widen.

"Namjoon. This is one of my favorite place in the world." I introduced the book cafe

Namjoon had never seen a place like this. Book cafes were usually really neat and strict, but here there were books everywhere. A book nerd's favorite place for sure. Fortunately, that was what Namjoon was. He felt himself looking at the title of the numerous books without paying attention to Elina at all.

"This is quite far from your University." Namjoon observed as he stepped inside

The cafe was far from being empty. People working or reading in every corner. Some were eve, playing chess or other games. The cafe and cookies smell was ambient in the air and Namjoon found the tension from his shoulder vanishing.

He watched Elina walk inside the place like it was her home. Walking up to the counter, the male barista looked like someone with an awful personality. His eyebrows knitted in a frown as he was cleaning a glass.

"Always the same." Elina's voice sounded cheerful

The man froze in his movement and Namjoon saw tears filling his eyes. At the same moment, something fell to the ground making a few working students hiss and a few other glare. Namjoon had barely time to ask what was wrong when Elina was almost tackled to the ground by a woman. The man from before holding them in his embrace.

"Hey Uncle Hyunbin." Elina smiled eyes teary "Hey Aunty Yejin." She added as the woman was trembling

"Oh my god." The woman held the girl by both of her shoulder as she almost pushed what was probably her husband to the ground "Eli, where the hell have you been? How are you? What have you been up to?" she asked without a stop

"Yejin, let the girl breathe. I can see that she came with someone today." Hyunbin looked at Namjoon warmly "She must trust you and love you a lot if she brought you here."
