My Tease

How About No

Jin pov

I would be lying if I said I wasn't avoiding Namjoon. He messaged me multiple times in the passed week which I have ignored. He came to the club Italian cooking night and tried to talk to me, but I just brushed him off and kept talking to Hoseok.

I know Hoseok noticed too, but he left it alone unlike Momo who pointed it out right away. Sometimes she needs to learn how to not interfere in things, but I can't do anything about it now. Then, you have Yoongi who just chatted with Namjoon in hushed tones the whole night and by the looks of it, he was giving him practical advice.

I don't care what he tries to do to mend our friendship if you can even call it that at this point. It's more of a strained aquintance thing we have going on here. All week I've been cursing myself to hell and back for going to his dorm. Sung Kyung was right. He was flirting with me and my dumb self doubted her.

It's now Friday again. I decide to go get a snack from the One Shop in the library before heading to my dorm, but the universe just seems to be against me today because Namjoon is purchasing a snack inside. I pray he doesn't notice me so I can turn around and leave, but nope he turns around right when I make a break for the door.

"Jin, wait!" He drops everything and chases me through the library and I don't even care that we're disturbing the peace. I just need to get as far away from him as possible. He's bad news whenever I'm around him and I can't believe I gave him multiple chances to redeem himself.

We're outside and I'm turning the curb to run onto the bridge that makes a path through a small patch of trees on campus. I look back and groan when he's still following me. I am way too grown for this. I finish crossing the bridge and curse when too many cars are driving by to cross the street. He's only five feet away, but I don't call it quits yet. Instead, I turn right and run down the sidewalk. "Jin!"

"Leave me alone!" I yell back and glance behind me for a second to see him slowing up. That was a mistake because I am repelled back by the force of someone's body colliding into mine. I fall straight onto my butt and just know that Namjoon is going to catch me now. "Sorry." I mumble when the person gives me a death glare before walking away.

"Thank God." Namjoon pants and holds his hand out. I smack it away and stand back up on my own. "Look, you said that I should stop bringing up your sexuality if we want to stay friends when you came over. You never said you would actually stop talking to me. I'm really sorry. I mean it for real." He wipes his sweaty forehead and proceeds to take off his winter coat. "I can see how much that irritated you and I promise never to bring it up again."

"You keep saying that but every time I see you it leads back to that." I mumble and he sighs.

"Yeah, I know." He winces. "I kind of was attracted to you and wanted to know for sure if you were gay so I could make a move..."

Of course he's another gay guy coming onto me. Why is he different from all the other ones though? I normally just reject them all and that's the end. He shouldn't be trying so hard. "I will say this one final time. I'm not gay. You can fulfill your needs with someone else."

He nods his head and looks down guiltily. "Yeah, I will." Wow, so he admits to being a man whore. "I think my gaydar is broken." He whispers and my left eye twitches.

"Namjoon." 

"Sorry, but really. Please don't run away from me again." He pleads and I purse my lips. "And don't make that face either."

I frown, but switch to a blank face. "Control your hormones." I fold my arms, "I've forgiven you so I am going back to my dorm now." I begin to walk passed him, but he grabs my hand.

"You're running away again." He states while staring me down and my cheeks warm from how he seems to be searching my eyes for answers. "What are you scared of?"

I close my eyes and turn my head away, "Nothing." I shake my hand out his grip and start walking back, but he starts walking beside me. I can feel his eyes on me, but I keep mine focused on the ground in front of me. "Stop staring."

"Sorry." He pauses for a moment. "How were your classes?"

"I only had one today and it was alright." I state simply. 

"I didn't have any today." 

"Trying to make me jealous?" I joke, and he chuckles.

"No, just sharing." He stops walking and I stop with him. "Yoongi is going to kill me. I was supposed to be buying him noodles before I started chasing you. He's still waiting in the library and saw us run by." 

I actually find this hysterical and laugh in his face. It starts to hurt as I hunch over and grip my side as he just stares at me with the saltiest face I have ever seen. "You're a mess." 

"And you sound like you're dying." I pout and hit him softly. 

"Hey, my laugh is a work of art!" He shrugs his shoulders.

"If you say so." He side steps when I go to hit him again and I stomp my foot.

"That's against the rules!" 

"What rules?" He asks and I huff.

"It's called the book of Jin. Rule two: don't side step when I want to hit you."

"What's rule one?"

"Thou shall not claim Jin is gay." He cracks a smile at this and begins walking again and I follow into step next to him. We walk in a peaceful silence until we reach the bridge and he nudges my shoulder with his.

"Want to meet my cousin this weekend?" He invites and I raise a brow.

"Uh, sure?" 

"He's pretty chill." He went on. I give him a once over still feeling slightly uncomfortable being around him. "I'll message you when to meet up."

I nod my head. "How old is he?"

"He's 21 but decided to take a year off since he wanted to retake the Suneung again and get into Yonsei University." 

"Oh, I remember the headaches that test gave me." I grimace.

Namjoon puts his jacket back on and zips it up all while saying, "Yeah, I swear I lost hair from it and almost died from dehydration. Word to the wise. Sleeping and eating is more important than studying."

"You should tell your cousin that."

"I did but he's a country boy. He's dead set on getting a stable job so he can buy his parents a house."

His cousin seems like the perfect son, which reminds me that I haven't called my parents in 2 weeks. "Nice kid. I have to go, but I'll see you around." Namjoon waves as I start heading to my dorm and try to forget that I literally ran around half the campus to get rid of him.
