Rocky Mountain love affair

Dinner guests

Kara heard the scrape of the chair moving back as RapMonster got up to follow her inside. She smiled and her heart pounded, dinner with RapMonster! This was the best trip she had ever taken!
Once inside Kara went to the cabinet and grabbed out another plate & a wine glass just in case he wanted to have some with his dinner like she did. She walked back to the table where RapMonster stood " So RapMonster, do you want yours made the same way mine was, or would you like something different?" She ask. "Please call me NamJoon or Joon. And it was perfect the way you made it." His smile was sweet & shy. Kara grabbed four slices of bread & put them in the toaster, she then counted out 6 pieces of bacon, grabbed a few slices of cheese, tomatoes, and avacado. She piled it neatly in two stacks on top of some crisp lettuce. The toast popped up and in a flash she had two more sandwiches made & cut in half. NamJoon watched in silence as she placed 3 of the halfs on a plate & then added a pile of chips. "Here NamJoon, you look like you are more of a 2 sandwich kinda guy." Kara said handing him the plate.
She then turned and picked up the bottle of wine from the table, "would you like a drink with your food? I have other things besides wine." She motioned to the fridge. NamJoon was blushing "Wine is great, but you really don't need to do all this Kara." She grabbed his glass & then looked at her 1/2 a sandwich still on the table. NamJoon seeing her dilemma " give me the glass, you grab your food & we'll go sit & eat. I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy talking with you." He reached out and took the glass he then turned & headed to the patio. Kara walked slowly behind him admiring the view more than she should. This couldn't be real, he was so very far out of her league.
They sat where they had been before going inside. Kara reached out & snagged his glass & filled it.
"So what brings you guys to Colorado? Not that it's any of my business, just making small talk." She mentally face palmed herself. NamJoon laughed as she stumbled over her words " They're holding a kcon in Denver next week. We came a week early to get a few days of relaxation in before it starts. What about you? What are you doing in Colorado??" He then took a huge bite of his sandwich. She watched as a satisfied smile spread across his face as he chewed. " I am here to do a book signing this weekend, & to try and get a jump start on some more stories for the next one." She said and then took a bite of her own.
She chewed slowly knowing his next question & dreading it. "So what kind of books do you write?" He asked after he finished the last bite of one of his halfs. Yup there it was, Kara collected herself. " I write short erotic stories." She said as she stared intently at her glass of wine. NamJoon choked on the chip he had just put in his mouth. He covered his mouth & coughed into his hand. He then cleared his throat & said "Excuse me??" Kara could feel the heat pouring off her face. "What did you say you wrote?" NamJoon was now staring at her as intently as she was looking at her wine.
Then the voice of an angel came from above them "Is that food? NamJoon are you eating without me??" They both looked up to see Jin leaning against the railing on the balcony above them. "I've got more if you're hungry, you are more than welcome to join us." Kara said praying that NamJoon would forget what they were talking about. Jin smiled ear to ear, "I'll be right down!" and he was gone.
NamJoon & Kara made eye contact & she instantly blushed. "You write what kind of stories?" He asked again. "Short erotic stories." She stated looking away " you know, smut." She added as she picked up her wine and took a huge gulp. NamJoon seemed to blush again. " Yeah I know what erotic is." He replied
Jin was now walking toward them & they were both thankful for the distraction. "Who is our new friend?" He ask NamJoon "Jin meet Kara, she's an author. Kara meet Jin our food lover." NamJoon said making the official introductions. Kara stood up and offered her hand to Jin which he grabbed & used to pull her in for a hug. "Hi Kara!" He said squeezing her little frame. "Hey Jin." She said as a huge smile spread across her face. "C'mon inside, we'll get you some food." Still holding onto his hand she turned & led him into the kitchen.  She stopped at the table & after scanning it decided more bacon was definitely necessary. " Sit down and have some chips while I cook up more bacon so you can have a couple sandwiches."  She said gesturing to the kitchen table. Jin and NamJoon sat opposite of each other with a bag of chips between them on the table. As Kara began cooking the two spoke to each other in Korean. She couldn't help but wonder what they were saying, was it about her? Ugh she wished she'd learned Korean.
Suddenly Jin's eyes widened at something NamJoon had said & he stared at Kara.  "NamJoon here says that you write erotic stories." Jin inquired his eyes burning into her back.  Kara's whole body was aflame, she had to be fire engine red head to toe.  So without turning away from the stove she slowly replied "yes, yes I do. I was actually signing copies of my book before I decided I was starving."   "Wait, you have a copy of it here??" NamJoon asked excitedly Kara wanted to smack herself.  She emptied all of the bacon from the pan onto a plate, turned off the stove & walked to the table. " Yeah there's 100 copies in my office that I have to sign by tomorrow afternoon. " she finally replied as she sat down the bacon
NamJoon blushed "Could I maybe look at a one??" He ask shyly Kara who was now dying inside smiled "Of course. You guys make yourselves some sandwiches, I'll go grab one." As she walked down the hall she was freaking out on the inside. NamJoon wanted to look at her book.  Maybe this was a bad idea. What if he didn't like the way she wrote?? Kara swallowed the huge lump in her throat as she picked up one of the books & a pen.  Without letting herself think to much she quickly scribbled inside 'NamJoon, it was truly an honor to have met you and shared a meal with you.  I'm absolutely amazed by all of the hard work, and extremely long hours you dedicate to your passion for music.  You have all my love & respect.  Forever A.R.M.Y.  Kara Peck'
She tossed the pen onto the desk & walked back to her kitchen where there were now 3 men instead of 2.
