Reflection || Namjin B2

Chapter One

☼✵☼

Waiting is hard, nonetheless. It felt as if everything was going slow, like the world was stopping in time and then the Earth turn slower than it really was. They day's were longer, the nights became their only escape and only resort to making things go faster. But Namjoon began to stay up later, searching anything he could for any sign of hope. It was around the time in which waiting wouldn't last much longer. Taehyung often stayed up to help him, agreeing to read through old books to find things while the elder dove into the depths of the internet.

But then somewhere along the line, Namjoon felt a familiar sense take over his body. It seemed to be noticeable the aura around him changed, and it was followed with a "hey, are you okay?" from Yoongi.

"Seokjin's back." Namjoon replied, and admitting that to himself seemed to relieve him in a way.

"Really!?" Taehyung gasped, his face visibly lighting up. "Can you tell how old he is!? That means there might only be a few years until the other three are back as well! And you'll start aging again once he's the same age he was when he, y'know."

"All I know is that he's within a hundred mile radius, I hope he's doing well."

"I'm sure you'll find out soon enough!" The youngest grinned widely. "Y'know what this means?"

"What?"

"We made it. This is the final stretch."

"Oh thank fuck." Yoongi groaned, collapsing onto the couch. Taehyung laughed loudly, a smile never leaving his face. "Do you still have that necklace on?"

"Of fucking course!"

"Good, Jimin gave it to you because he knew he'd end up dying. If he see's you with it on he'll have a better chance of remembering."

"Mhm."

"I wish Hoseok could've given me something." Yoongi mumbled, playing with the end of his sleeve. "I'm too shy to be like 'oh hey you look nice wanna be friends'?"

"Well you have a few years to work on your skills."

"Taehyung, Seokjin had to force me to sit with you people at lunch."

"Joonie said Hobi told him he remembered your smile when you first met. Just smile when you finally meet again."

"I guess. I mean Namjoon's job is easy he just has to exist."

"What do you mean?"

"Seokjin deadass remembered him because of his face."

"That's cute."

"Ugh the guy who sits in front of me in math literally knows everything what the fuck?" Yoongi suddenly imitated. "yOONGI THE GUY FROM YESTERDAY LOOKED AT ME AND I HAD A FLASHBACK AND WHAT THE FUCK HELP!"

Taehyung laughed loudly. "They're so cute together~!" Namjoon hummed at the old memory, biting his lip anxiously. He felt the need to go searching for Seokjin, now. "I'm so excited!"

"I wanna go looking for him but I probably shouldn't."

"Wait until you age again," Taehyung sighed. "Otherwise we might find him while he's like three."

"That'd be so cute! I wanna see baby hyung!"

"Wait shit yeah!"

"Can we!?"

"Please!"

"Just don't let him see you– or do I don't know maybe then he'll come looking for us or something." Yoongi sighed.
