"How was your date?" smiled Baekhyun, the ever-famous glam replicated on his enthused profile. 

"What date?" Namjoon snarled at the startling interrogation. 

"Already forgotten? The one you went to on Friday." 

Namjoon knitted his eyebrows as his nose squinted. "What are you talking about?" 

"Yoongi informed me of your date with," Baekyun wavered to deliver the name. "Jisoo." 

"That's no such thing. We just toured in the book fair of Dragon Town." his admission bore sincerity but also an itch. The listener appeared more sober in the topic than its gravity. Quietness now masked in his voice. 

"I am happy you finally allow yourself breathe." His lips parted in a contagious smile.

Namjoon flicked the off-white brink of the silky pages, browsing the thrilling contents imprinted, aloof from the chaos of the busy mass in tranquil. Best friends to lovers plot he was delighting, just as when Jisoo appeared beside. Her intrigued eyes fell onto the bundle in his grasp. "You have already begun reading?" marvel prominent in her shriek until she cursed inwardly for firing the question. His gaze snapped to her orbs as she inhaled a shrill gasp at her slip.

 "I couldn't hold much longer. Have you started yours?" the response stunned her senses, adapted mostly to his candid replies.  

She tore the nervousness off her stomach. "Not the novel. Only 2 pages of poetry." Her voice overshadowing the clouds of alarm. 

"That was a great choice of yours, a wise investment. The poet is too deft in her pen." 

"Have you known her before?" Jisoo's brows curved in query, anticipation in her tone. 

"I have read the book you bought so. You should get dipped in the weight of her words. How enchanting her writing is!" 

"That sounds great. I must say the first pages are intriguing." She posed on the seat beside, Hurled inquisitiveness scrambling her voice. "You seem to have a vast zeal for books." 

"Since I learnt to read." 

"No wonder how you render those ravishing lyrics" Her flattery to her opinion might sound exaggerated but her utterance was sincere. 

"The more you read the more you learn, the more you radiate." 

A holler reached their path and they would apprehend it was for them. "We should proceed now," mumbled Jisoo and they discarded their positions to the source of address. 

Yeong ro bolted past the row of wooden benches, the remote of the bomb secured in her blood stricken fingers. Just as she proceeded to toss it away the gap Suho's firm grip halted her venture. He hauled her taut hand to his front as she intended to dismiss his force. His eyes venomously linked with her tear-filled orbs, stiffened nostrils thundered enraged exhales. Yeong ro's mind declined the consumption of his stare once cradled a glint of affection, destined for evolving into love. Her lips pursed to ban the upcoming tears down the cheeks, teeth clenched on each other out of the moulding disdain. 

The take might have demanded two shots but the first one was messed up by Namjoon's clumsy dash, the other ruin occurred by Jisoo's stumble. 

Jisoo hurried along the narrow aisle as directed whereas her sneakers slipped, tripping her balance. She released a squeal to her ascertain plunge, no aid on her way till two thick arms laced around her waist. Her cushioned landing startled her enclosed eyes. Namjoon gazed upon her alarmed complexion, concern fueled in his look. His breaths smudged against her eyelashes, mingling with hers. Surges of current dashed over veins, tickles sprouted in the pit of her stomach. Second of his precious gazes she had received, a concerned one.
