Chapter 69 Back into routine Part 2

Namjoon's itinerary was pretty full for today. A full day at a museum for a recording. He was looking forward to that. It was weird, to think that he could only speak of Indigo right now. He had to pretend that that was the only album, but in fact.....he was already thinking of the next album. 

He wanted to make sure that he woke up early today. "Yeah it was time to get back into a fitness routine". he thought. He somehow could not believe it that his fitness routine was out of whack, ever since they announced the hiatus. "Guess it was just a bit overwhelming with announcing it to the world and going solo". he thought. He was feeling kinda jet lagged with the time difference and he was a still a bit tired. He crawled deeper under his blanket. Perhaps he should stay in for another 30 minutes.

"No, Nooooo" he said to himself, "I should not go back to bed" he said out loud and  quickly brushed his teeth and washed his face in the bathroom. "I will take a shower when I get back" he thought.

He was looking for his phone "Where did I put it?" Namjoon looked in his bag and all kind of things were in his bag, but the phone was no where to be found. "Ugh, I always seem to loose things" he said annoyed to himself. "Perhaps I should write a song about feeling lost or loosing things or something" he thought and kept looking for his phone.  "Oh maybe in the side pocket" he thought....  "Yes, found it" and a grin and dimples appeared on his face.

"Shoot, I still have to turn my phone on, hope I didn't miss any important calls" he said to himself. He switched his phone off yesterday, when he was entering the plane. Namjoon had a habit of switching his phone off when he wanted to sleep and not be disturbed. He quickly turned the phone on and put it in his pocked "Ok," he said to himself "Better not look at any messages and get going....fitness routine...here we go!!!"

Namjoon quickly grabbed his hoody, this way he was able to wear the hat... because you never know a bunch of people might just recognise him.  Perhaps he should text his body guard to accompany him.....but it was still early and Namjoon did not want to wake him up. They still had a full schedule that day.  "Nah, I will be fine..better if he sleeps and he can do his job later today" Namjoon quickly closed the door behind him, took a big deep breath. "Ok no more distractions with all these thoughts and stuff" he said to himself.

Yes, he was ready to do some jogging. The elevator took a long time, but finally it came and it took Namjoon down to the first floor where he put on the hat of his hoodie and walked out of the hotel. Luckily the elevator was empty...

"Morning walk Mr. Kim?" The valet guy looked at him with a smile. "Hi morning, uh yeah....well I'm going to try to jog." Namjoon smiled back "Aww, he recognised me with my hoodie on" Namjoon thought...

"May I suggest you go and turn a left there" he pointed "if you go the other way, it might be pretty busy already" the Valet guy winked.

"Oh, thank you, I didn't know that...that's good to know".....Namjoon smiled and appreciated that he was looking out for him. "Hey don't worry" said the man..."I got ya"..... "Have a great morning Sir" he said. "Thank you, you too" Namjoon said and began to ran while putting his head phone on and disappeared around the corner, with music jamming in his ear.

"Phew" he thought "Only a few minutes into jogging and he was already feeling it. He started to sweat a bit, but did not let that discourage him.

Somehow the summer this time seemed to be the hottest. Perhaps it was just getting hotter every year, with the global warming and all.

He tried his best to jog on the side walk, and to avoid eye contact with people. New York City was not really the greatest place to jog outside, at least not in the middle of the city. Nevertheless, he was determined to do at least 30 minutes today. Besides he would not have more time anyways. He could not wait to see the  Dia Beacon museum today. Although it was for work, he was happy that they were going to do some of the promotions for his album there...He always loved museums, there was always so much to see and to learn.

He kept jogging.... two more blocks and it was done. He slowed down a bit, because he was out of breath. He noticed that he needed to tie his shoe laces. So he bend down and tied his shoes. At that moment, he felt as if someone was standing behind him and was looking at him. He felt as if he was being watched. 

 Should he look up, or just pretend that he did not notice anything? Perhaps it was nothing. But what if  it was someone who recognised him, or paparazzi?  He looked down at his shoes for a bit...then he looked quickly behind him, but no one was there....there was only one woman jogging and she passed by him so quickly...."She surely did not recognise me" Namjoon laughed. Perhaps he was just being a bit paranoid.

Namjoon sighed, he decided that he had done enough jogging. "Probably next time, I should wake up the body guard" he thought...and started slowly walking back to the hotel.
