61 - Kim Namjoon

Imagine it's a Friday evening and you and your friends decided to hit up your favorite local club. Needless to say, you've had one too many drinks and you lost track of your friends' whereabouts a couple of hours ago when you all haphazardly danced your way around the dance floor.

Just as you emerge from the sea of sweaty bodies, you take in a big gulp of the cooler air and ask the bartender for a cup of water. He swiftly places a glass of the thirst-quenching iced liquid in front of you and you down it faster than you did any shot tonight. Yet, before you can ask for another cup, it seems as if your feet are taking you somewhere else on their own accord.

The thundering bass of the upbeat song fades into the distance as you stumble, somewhat gracefully, out of the establishment. A brief smile graces your lips when you breathe in the cold and crisp night air and your hand unconsciously picks your phone out of your back pocket and dials a rather familiar number.

"Hello?" a groggy voice answers.

"I don't understand why you hate me," you slur.

There's a slight pause before you hear Namjoon sigh on the other end of the line. When he makes no attempt to respond, you push even further.

"I'm pretty likable if I do say so myself. Y-you would like me if you just tried."

"Y/N," you finally hear him speak. "Are you drunk?"

Even in your drunken state, you find it within you to roll his eyes at his habit of asking the obvious. For someone so smart, you don't understand why he seems to catch onto these things so slowly.

"No, I'm as sober as that dude," you giggle.

"What? What dude?" Namjoon asks, clearly confused. The joke is on him; he doesn't know that you just watched the stranger stumble over his own feet before landing on the sidewalk with a soft thud. "You know what? That doesn't matter. How much have you had to drink."

"I've only had one drink," you giggle, taking a brief pause as a hiccup slips past your lips. "One plus six. Eight if you count the water I just downed."

"Oh my stars," Namjoon groans. You can practically see him pinching the bridge of his nose like he often does when he's stressed.

"Don't worry, Joonie. I'm all done for the night. I know my limit," you admit softly, taking a seat on the curb. "I also know it well enough to know that I probably won't remember this conversation in the morning which I suppose my future self will appreciate."

Again, there's silence from the other end of the line and you wonder if maybe he hung up on you. But when you peel your phone away from your ear to check, it shows that Namjoon is still on the line, listening to your drunken ramble.

"I like you a lot, Namjoon. Like a lot, a lot," you admit with a dazed smile. "I don't know why sober me hates you so much. Or why you hate me so much, drunk or sober."

"Where are you?" he asks.

"I'm at a club, dummy. It's where all the fun people go on Friday nights - unlike you."

"Y/N, I'm being serious. Where the hell are you?" he presses again.

"Someone's bossy," you scoff. "I'm at Serendipity - you know, the club at the corner of Sixth and Main Street."

"Okay, don't move from wherever you are. And don't get into any trouble. I'm gonna come get you. It's time for you to go home-"

"That's no fun. I'm going back inside to dance," you frown. "Plus, I can't just leave my friends here. I have to make sure they get home safe."

"No, Y/N. I swear to the stars. Don't you dare hang up on me-

"-Bye, Joonie," you giggle before hitting the big red "end call" button. The last thing you hear is an agitated, but somewhat soft-sounding curse escaping past Namjoon's lips and the sound of a door slamming shut on his end of the line.

Happy Monday, Dalgis! How'd y'all like this Namjoon imagine? I actually had a lot of fun writing this one hehe. 

You guys! I finally went to a TXT concert and OMG it was beautiful! I was at the Day 1 LA concert and I definitely cried more times than I would like to admit. Everything was beyond what I could have imagined, and I am so proud of the boys for having such a successful first stadium concert. I'll be posting some of my concert pics to my Instagram later this week so keep an eye out if you'd like to see some of them 

I hope you're all staying safe, happy, and healthy. I love you so much 💗

Until next week,
