⭐️ I Could Never Forget You | Namjin

🐨 Where I am, it's always winter 🐨

꽃 피울 때까지

그곳에 좀 더 머물러줘, 머물러줘

- Spring Day

I'm still in shock over what I did as I drive to pick up Taehyung and Jungkook.

When we get home I stay up long after the boys cleaning and re-cleaning the house. I shouldn't be so stressed about this, it's not like anything's going to happen.

I finally get to bed at like 00:00.

Morning comes too fast and soon I'm getting dressed, making breakfast (burning the eggs) then before I know it I get a text from Seokjin:

On my way, about 15 minutes 😀

15 minutes! NOOO! I need more time than that. AHHH!

—

Then there's a knock on the door. He's here.

I race toward the door trying not to be so eager.

"Mr. Kim." I greet him, and again it feels weird to be speaking so formally. "Thank you for coming, Jimin is excited to see Kim ARMY."

"Of course."

The day goes mostly alright.

I watch fondly as Jimin and Seokjin play with the cat. From a distance, it's as if nothing ever happened and I selfishly want it to stay this way, yet I know it can't. Soon Seokjin is leaving.

I walk him to the door and Kim ARMY yowls as if sad to leave. Jin just laughs.

I don't know what to say, so I just say, "Have a good rest of your day."

It's stiff and awkward and makes me want to cringe but he smiles and then everything feels right again. My heart is beating fast when the door closes behind him.

I sigh feeling, for some reason, exhausted even though it's only 5:30. Jimin is just getting over his cold. I really hope I haven't caught it. Either way, I feel like I'm floating on a cloud of happiness. I remind myself that I mustn't be greedy. I should focus on building a friendship first. Yes, a friendship. Friends. That is all we'll ever be.

THE NEXT DAY

I wake up even more tired than I was when I went to bed. My head feels stuffy and foggy and my joints feel stiff and achy. I try to breathe but my nose is blocked. I definitely caught Jimin's cold.

Still, I must make breakfast. Then I glance at the clock. 9:30! I jump out of bed, or rather attempt to and end up falling on my backside.

I get to my feet and manage a slow-mo sprint downstairs. Taehyung is tearing apart the house looking all over for something. He sees me and we lock eyes, he looks panicked.

"Did you see my bag? Did you see my bag!?"

"What ba-" Oh, Crap. His violin bag, he has a lesson in . . . 13 minutes!

The music school is 30 minutes away across town in traffic, no way we're getting there. I crumple to the floor in exhaustion.

"You know what Tae, today, um, we're all going to stay home today. You guys just relax. I'm going to go back to bed"

Taehyung nods and goes to play Overwatch with Jungkook. Jungkook looks back to me.

"Don't worry Appa, I made breakfast." he turns back to his game and surprisingly clicks off the console. "Are you okay Appa? You slept for a very long time."

"Oh, I'm fine. I'm just not feeling my best I think."

"Oh okay. Feel better Appa."

"I will," I say and head back to my room. I fall asleep quickly.
