Stay With Me - PJM - Book 1

Chapter 8

Sophia's POV

Jimin: hey Nemo, why don't you come over? 😉

Me: I'm still at work 😢

Jimin: hey it's past 6!! come home fast!

Me: tell that to my boss 😑😑

Jimin: give me the number. 😎

Me: I just said that 😝😂.... now let me do my work

I waited for his reply but he was already offline. I sighed and kept my phone aside and continued my work.

The past few days were hectic. I couldn't even hang out with the guys for the past few weeks, not even with May.

Tiffany had been putting too much pressure on me. Thankfully she was kind enough to let Jessica help me. And by God's grace my fall break was going to begin the day after, so no classes for a few days. Being a student of biology and doing the work of an editor wasn't a good choice after all. Just because Literature was included in my subjects I got this job, but it was harder than I thought.

"Sophia you should go now I'll do the remaining for today" Jessica said with a smile.

I looked at her and sighed in relief. I got up from the chair and immediately hugged her tightly. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much!" I said. I was tired for God sake.

"You are welcome sweetheart" she said sweetly.

Jessica was 4 years older than me and since the day I joined the office she had treated me like her sister and I was glad she did. Otherwise my life at work would have been hell. I was so grateful to have met such beautiful souls here.

I quickly gathered my things and gave her another hug before walking out of the office.

"Hey Sophia!"

I turned around at the familiar voice. Namjoon stood there smiling. And to my surprise he wasn't wearing his mask. Maybe because it was already dark.

"Hey" I said walking towards him "what are you doing here?"

"Umm.." He hummed. I squinted while a smile found its way on my lips watching a hesitant Namjoon standing in front of me struggling to say whatever he had to. He caught me smiling and flashed a sheepish smile at me, "Well.." he continued "Umm... Okay so we were thinking if you would want to come... go shopping with us" he said, but it sounded more like a question. I raised my brows and gave him a confused smile.

"It's Jimin's birthday tomorrow, and we thought we could ask you..you know to come along with us... If you want to" he said pointing back at his car.

I glanced over his shoulder and I could see Hoseok sitting in the front seat looking around and turning back momentarily. It was obvious that there were others too, sitting at the backseat of the minivan. I looked back at him and gave him a cheerful smile, "Sure!" I said.

How could I not?

Upon a little bit of discussion I ended up with Yoongi in my car, accompanying me to the places they had decided already. And as expected the only thing that filled the car except for the air was silence.

I followed their minivan to the cake shop first where we picked up the cake, some balloon packets and some other decor stuff.

To no one's surprise all of them had there face masks on now. We then headed to the mall where we separated to buy our individual gifts and decided to meet at the parking when we were done.
