You were pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to date Namjoon. To say it's awkward is a bit of an understatement, but you knew it was because your relationship with him was shifting from a platonic friendship to a romantic one. You both were bound to face some hesitancy from one another. Granted, the slow pace of the relationship was both a blessing and a curse in your eyes.
On the one hand, it allows you to process everything at a comfortable pace. Namjoon is your best friend, and until recently, you never saw him in another light. However, with your budding relationship with him, you would've sworn he'd at least try to kiss you. You couldn't help the pinprick of insecurity sink into your skin when Namjoon drops you off at home only to be imparted with a hug or a kiss to your forehead.
You're not complaining, at least not entirely. The gestures were sweet and utterly adorable, but a small part of you, one that's been nagging incessantly in the back of your mind, wants more. You want to be swept away by him, to feel the urgency of passion and desire. You weren't sure how to bring any of this up without sounding ungrateful or pushy.
"You feeling okay?" Namjoon asks as he walks alongside you.
You both just finished watching a movie and were taking a stroll through the park, the night sky stretched above you with stars sprinkled across it. You let out a nervous laugh, unsure how to articulate what's been running through your mind as of late. You didn't want to offend Namjoon, but you knew honesty was valued regardless of the status of your relationship.
Taking a deep, steadying breath, you ask, "How long do you normally wait before making the first move?"
This completely halts Namjoon's walking. Despite you being the one to say it, surprise and embarrassment coats your face, a fierce blush blooming on your cheeks. You hear Namjoon cough, practically witnessing the man before you glitch. You bite back a smile from how adorably flustered he looks.
"I'm sorry, what?" He asks for clarification, clearing his throat in the process.
"God, I sound stupid." You mumble out before saying, "I'm just curious, are you always this shy when you date someone?"
The two of you never went into detail on your dating lives before, so you really had no clue how he operated in this department. Though you appreciated not knowing his dating past in detail, it still piqued your curiosity on how shy he acted around them.
"I guess it depends." He replies hesitantly, glancing at you to see if you were upset or not by his answer.
"Depends on what?" You ask with lightness in your tone, keeping it neutral thus not startling him with your curiosity.
It's a failed attempt because as you glance up at Namjoon, his features look to be lobbing between anxiousness and apprehension.
"I don't know, y/n." He breathes out. "I guess it just depends whether I want to be physical with them at that moment."
