You Can Only Hurt Me Once [NamKook]

quatre

"Joon-hyung," I shut his studio's door behind me and took a seat on the edge of his sofa.

He turned around in his chair and gave me that confused look that had a hint of disinterest, "What's goin' on Kook?"

"I...I wanna tell you something. So...don't freak out on me."

"Kook," he sighed and leaned forward, letting his elbows rest on his knees. He seemed disappointed now. "Don't tell me you've gone back to him."

I sighed happily and shook my head, "No," I smiled.

"Good," he smiled back, "Don't get me wrong, I love Jiminie. But he isn't ready for a relationship, obviously."

"Right, but hyung, I-"

"Joon, Suga-hyung said he needs your help," Hoseok's voice filtered into the room as the door opened.

"Oh, uh...JK, I'll be right back. This shouldn't take long," Namjoon smiled at me as he left the room.

I simply nodded and sat back in the sofa.

What was I thinking?

There was no way I could tell him.

I couldn't deal with being rejected again so soon.

I was banking on him professing his love for me in my little, demented fantasies.

But I wasn't meant to lead the life of an idol and be in a happy relationship at the same time.

"Sorry, Jungkook," his voice made me look up, "There's something going on with hyung's software and he gets pretty impatient."

I managed a smile and nodded.

"So," he pushed the door shut softly, "What's on your mind?"

"Um," I moved forward in my seat and licked my lips, "I...I want to do that duet with you. Fools."

"Fools? Like...your rebound song?," he smiled.

I nodded, "Y-Yeah."

"Okay," he nodded, "We can do that."

So I never told him directly, but I thought that...while I was singing, when our eyes met...that somehow his big, stupid brain understood that I was talking about him this time.
