Smile • Kim Namjoon

Chapter 8

>A day later<

"Okay class! Next activity is swimming!!!" The professor clapped his hands and everyone groaned.

Everyone got changed into the swimwear we were assigned to.

Shorts and a tshirt.

"There's a trail we need to walk down so be careful!" Another teacher warned as everyone began walking.

I walked down a steep hill, "WOAH!" I almost slipped but held onto someone.

I looked up at saw Namjoon looking down at me, "Are you alright?" He helped me up and I nodded.

"Sorry, I was a bit startled." I apologized and walked alongside with him.

He shrugged, "Its fine, just hold onto me if anything."

I blushed slightly and nodded, "You're so caring Namjoon..."

He shook his head, "Only to you." He looked at me, "You make me angry to the point that I always wanna protect you."

I laughed and held onto his arm while going down a hill.

Namjoon sighed and looked at me, "Oh look!" He pointed, "THERE MIGHT BE BABY CRABS!" He shook my arm off of him and ran towards the water.

I watched and giggled. I always knew he had this weird love for crabs.

"Hey there!" Hoseok ran next to me with a huge smile across his face.

I smiled back, "Hey Hobi~"

He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and held me down to the water.

"So I was thinking..." Hoseok smiled slyly and looked at me, "Let's ditch Namjoon and go explore the forest. The teachers won't notice."

I narrowed my eyebrows at him. I had no idea he even would think like that, "Hobi! Why would you even suggest that?" I stopped walking and looked him in the eye.

Hoseok scoffed and raised an eyebrow, "You're digging your own grave staying by his side!"

I shook my head, unable to believe the words coming out of Hoseoks mouth. "You honestly think I care?" I asked, "It's my choice, and your choice to either be like everyone else or make a change for once." I huffed and walked away.

>Hoseok POV<

"Like everyone else, huh?" I mumbled as I watched her walk away.

"One day he'll hurt you and you'll come crying back to me." I chuckled and walked the towards the other side of the beach.

>Your POV<

"Hey Namjoon!" I smiled and ran up to him.

He smiled and lifted up his hand which he held a baby crab in it. "I found this little crab in a tide pool!" He smiled cutely and petted it with his pointer finger.

Sure he was smiling... but it wasn't the same. I wondered, if it'll every be the same lively smile I adored so much.

"Hey Namjoon," I looked at him.

"Hm?" He looked at me and placed the crab down.

"Will you push me away if I continue staying besides you?" I figured I might as well ask the question before getting pushed away and proving Hoseok correctly.

Namjoon took a deep breath and looked up at the sky, "I missed you." He breathed out, "At first I wanted you to stay away from me at all cost..." He looked at me and patted my head, "But now, I can't seem to pull myself away from you."

I teared up a little and gave him a big hug, "Namjoonie!" I Fake sobbed as he patted my back gently.

Now I need to make you smile.
