Fate

Chapter 179

Mina's P.O.V.
"Can I ask you something?"

Really? "As if you couldn't!"
I was way too happy. I had to stop myself from skipping around and jumping from merchant to merchant. I offered him what I held in my hands. It tasted sweet. The dough felt like eating a condensed cloud, fluffy yet chewy. The filling of brown sugar and crushed peanuts couldn't be a better choice. Thank you whoever invented hotteok.
"Want a bite?"

Instead of taking it from my hands, Joon took a bite straight from my hold, his hand under mine, barely touching them. Was I in a movie right now?
Our eyes met and he laughed, brushing his thumb against the corner of his lips.
"What? You HAD to see this coming. I wouldn't risk us dropping it on the floor. You seem to be enjoying it very much."

Oh, I enjoyed my day. Trust me, best day in a while!
"Should've."
Once I snapped out of my romance novel mind, I got back to what we were about to speak of.
"What were you gonna ask?"

"Right! We've done individual interviews, but we've never done one together, fully."
Yes? Because we tried to keep things that could anger people private and our relationship seemed to not be the situation people focused on anymore, thank goodness. Did he want a camera on us? Together?
"Would you be open to one?"

"Someone asked?" Why? We could enjoy our alone time and share pictures without too much attention.

"I think you're going to like it."
So he got an email or a call? Whomever wanted to do this?
"Jessi's been pestering me."

"Woah, really? That bad, huh? Guess we have no choice then."
I adored her. She'd know what was alright to ask. We trusted her. He trusted her.

His smile.. "You're in? Great! I'll tell her that after we're done."

Namjoon's P.O.V.
Why did she look at me like that? "What did you do?"
Me? Nothing, yet. Her? Quite a lot.

I patted the couch. "Just sit. You'll see."

She obliged. "You're too proud of yourself."
Was I? The pride would be aimed at her. My happiness came from finding these before her.
Min saw what I wanted to watch.
"Nope! No. Hell no."

"But it's you! It's the performance you did a few days ago."

She wasn't having it. How deep into the sofa could she sink? "And I don't want to see it! We're doing the more
revealing outfit tomorrow. Don't make me think about it."

Her tone wasn't bothered, rather it rang giggly and playful.
"Don't tell me you're embarrassed?"

Yoon Mina, embarrassed. "Yeah! Look at the outfits. The dance is fun and very girl crush concept, but I don't want to see myself."

I flashed her my best puppy eyes. "Please? We have alcohol and everything to make tteokbokki. We can do karaoke."
Even..
"We can watch an old performance of mine if you want, your choice."

That didn't fall into deaf ears.
"My pick? Might take you up on that then. War of Hormone dance practice."

I wanted to shy her up and she REALLY wanted to embarrass me? Honestly, I need the reality check. My career is going too well, at the moment.
"Fine! We get the drinks and start with your video."

She took a pretty decent sip of her drink before I started it.
"Okay, I'm ready!"
When it played, her eyes were glued to the screen. Did I forget to say it was a dancer fancam?
"I look like that?"

"Nice, right? My favorite part is coming.. Here!"
It was some waaking as they got up with a very beautiful hair flip. It almost felt in slow motion.
"It was so clean, and your face has such a refreshing smile."

A blanket covered her face. "Stoooop! That's the game you want to play?"
When the clip ended, she didn't type what I expected.
"We'll see how that feels."

"Did you really just put that?"

"Yes, yes indeed." Wipe that smirk off, Foxy!
Fake Love and Mic Drop live performance. You're kidding me.
"Wah~ Look how handsome you look!"
Holy sh*t. She really picked a good one to tease me.

"Joonie~ That shirt is basically translucent. Look at your butt in those pants!"

What? I've caught her commenting on other performances from groups, but on me? "Is that what you do when I'm not here?"

She laughed. "I'm usually inches from the screen."
I covered her eyes when the guys were in view.
"Moonie! What in the world? I want to see!"

"No! I don't want you looking at Kook and Hobi hyung's asses too!"

Her laughter hadn't stopped. "I've been inches from them. I don't see how it could be worse on screen!"

Ah- Ah... Fair. "And..."

She pulled my gaze from the screen to her. "Think I care when your fine derrière is in view?"

I enjoyed the soft kiss on my lips. "It's that fine?"

Her smile.. "Very, very nice."

I can't say I wasn't self-conscious about my dancing skills, especially when I was put next to J-Hope of all people. Knowing her eyes went to me first made me feel secure and.. it fueled my ego quite a bit.
"Keep the compliments going and you might get to see that man undressed."
I pointed at myself on the screen.

"Dear Lord have mercy on me." Min's eyes rolled so far back she must've seen her brain.
"I like the version in front of me much better. New and improved model, you know? Buff version?"

Now, I found her amusing. "I thought I was the older, run down version."

What she said next made me shut up real quick.
"I tested it and it's FAR from run down."
A wink.
"If you know what I mean."

What an effortless flirt! "You WINKED at me? How dare you, woman? Do you want me to take you on that couch right now? Because I clearly would."

"Stock that energy for later, we didn't even get to signing yet."

What- How could she be so nonchalant? "I don't think I can wait that long. I just want to whisk you away, ravish you, then come back to this very, very much later."

"Is that so? What would you do to me to make it worth my while?"
She HAD to be messing with me.

Keep your eyes on me, Foxy. My hand on her chin was enough. "How about I show you instead?"

"W-wait. You're serious?"
She was fooling around? Oh my God.
"F*ck, yeah! I thought you were joking."

I didn't even ask if I could pick her up.
"I never kid when it comes to having sex with you. You flirt as easily as you breathe. I'll make sure to up the difficulty of that."

Leaving her breathless was all I wanted. I loved to hear her sing, but seeing her chest heaving up and down was a beautiful sight..
Min seemed to get the memo.
"Kitchen table's free."

Not my plan, pinning her against the wall was only temporary. "That's for quick stuff. I want you comfortable, because we're taking our sweet time with this. I'm not letting you go easily."

I could already feel her pulse picking up the pace with my lips laying kisses on her neck. "Am I allowed to do anything to you or will you just wreck me so bad I won't be able to?"

"Can't be too rough.."
Very tempting.. Her hair left her nape easily exposed.. How could I not get distracted?
"They need you in perfect condition tomorrow."
How did I survive months with my imagination and my hands?
"But claw at me and bite all you want, Kitten. I want to still see them in the morning."

What did I do? Was she already dazed? Her honeyed gaze made me believe so. Her grin, however, confirmed that she understood the assignment. "On it."
