Fate

Chapter 184

Mina's P.O.V.
"The studio posted the videos."

"Are they? Would you look at that?"
Wipe that smug off your face, Joonie.

Well then..
"Since you seem to already know.. Wanna watch them with me?"

He rose himself up on one arm, still half asleep. "Did you write the outline of your message? The one you wanted to send?"

How heavily did he sleep not to hear me? "I even recorded a few takes, but my mannerisms are distracting. I'll manage to keep them under control for a take, hopefully. I just need to get my mind off it for a few minutes."

"And you came to me instead of scrolling social media? I'm touched."

"Don't mess with me, Moonie."
I sat down next to him. Oh, and before I forget. I left a kiss on his lips.
"Good morning."

He reciprocated before taking a glance at my phone.
"Pretty sure you mean good afternoon."

Don't be so pointy with words now!
"It's 7 minutes past noon. I think the grammar lords will forgive me for my sin."
Silly smiles shared, I pulled out the first video.
"Wanna see it or not?"

"As if I'd say no, you're even prettier when you dance."
That.. was a very free compliment thrown at me. I'll take it.

"Remember that when you watch it." The pretty qualifier would be rescinded.

"That looks a lot more like what you used to do in competitions, is it not?"

I hadn't done one of those in ages.
"It is! It reminds me of my dance crew back in school."

Was he keeping his comments for the end?
"Are the other ones out too?"

"Uhm, yeah! Here." I pulled up another.

I enjoyed them all, but that style had my heart. I LOVED IT. Whether it was Chungha's, Bambam's or Solar's dance. I was a sucker for these fast arm twirls.
"Wow, Kitten~ Can you do what the choreographer did at the end? The split thing?"

I mean.. "I did, filmed it for myself. If you're lucky, I'll show you later."
He would, indeed, see it.
"Last one~"

"He makes nice dances, doesn't he?"
Yes, he chose that class for me. Even after what he did. Joon knew I adored his songs anyway. His work was brilliant to me.. and I'd be working with his group starting next week.

Maybe I should mention it. I did say I'd work with SM, but I don't want secrets anymore.
"He does... About that. I'm working at SM next week."

A smile. "You told me. What about it?"

Argh! Don't play dumb.
"Taemin-ssi offered me to dance for his group. They're having a special performance at an award show too."

"You've been following them for a long time. You must be excited."
He's.. playing with my hair?
"Why are you looking at me like I'm insane?"

"I didn't tell you about it.
It's literally what we always argue about, omiting things."

A sigh. Oh, what now?
"There's a difference between a secret and a surprise, Min."
A smile.
"Need a dictionary?"

"No... They just.."
I intertwined my fingers together.
"Their definitions can be one and the same. Depends on the connotation. You can have good secrets and bad surprises. Surprises don't always come with a secret-"
I can't talk with your index on my lips.

"Go back to basics, it's not a philosophy class. Most important thing is intent, right?"

"I wanted you to find out when it'd release, not now, but I didn't feel comfortable keeping it to myself."
After what happened when he came back I'm not taking any chances.

"A great surprise is showing me the studio dances now, instead of the ones you obviously have on your phone. A bad one, if I was still upset with Key, would be working with him solo. Taemin approached you. How could you say no?"

"It was too good to pass.."
Wait a damn minute.
"You're happy with the clips?"

"Can't I be more obvious? I'm still grinning and hoping you'll send me the link so I can keep them."

"Everyone can see those! They're online." Honestly..

"Like your special stage yesterday."

Do NOT get me flustered. "A-anyway, you saw what I wanted to show you so.. I'm out to record!"

"Not so quick."
He pulled me back to him.
"It's gonna be okay. Don't worry."

I wasn't stressed- Ugh.. I wasn't kidding him, I should stop kidding myself.
"I know."
I left a peck on his lips.
"It's the live after the post that I'm unsure about. Can I just sweep it under the rug?"

"You can." He initiated another kiss, and another. "I doubt you will."

I NEED to get out of this room. You're way too tempting. Don't look at me like that! "Okay smart man, I'll go back to what I was doing- No! Namjoon- Don't try to drag me back to bed with you. I have stuff to do, and you're not one of them!"
