DUET - A Namjoon x Reader Fanfic

Chapter Eleven - Happy

Y/N's P.O.V.

Warmth.

Safety.

Comfort.

This was home.

After what seemed to be a thousand years, but was only several minutes, I had collected myself. I stepped back, holding Namjoon's arms lightly as he held mine.

"You have no idea how much I needed that, Namjoon." I said with a shaky voice and wiped away a tear.

"I think I do, Y/N. I needed that too." He chuckled nervously then continued, "It felt so nice to hug you."

"It felt nice to be in your arms. Thank you, Namjoon." I giggled, and smiled. Genuinely smiled.

Third Person P.O.V.

"Woah, what's that huge thing over there?" Hoseok asked excitedly, pointing to a large display of stuffed animals. It was barely visible over the towering shelves.

"Ooh! Wanna go look at it with me, Hoseok?" Mariana asked the boy beside her, whom she had been with nearly the entire day.

"Of course, I'd love to look at it... With you." Hoseok shot Mariana a huge grin before grabbing her arm gently and pulling her towards the display like an excited child.

The two left the others, turning a corner but then halted to an abrupt stop. They saw two of their friends standing, hugging, while they cried in each other's arms.

"Wait, Hobi." Mariana whispered.

"Is... Is Y/N okay?" Hoseok asked, concerned.

"She seemed fine earlier... Let's just let Namjoon and Y/N have a moment. That's so sweet." Mariana gushed at the two, then adjusted so that her hand was in Hoseok's and led him away.

Once they had returned to their group of friends, Mariana got their attention.

"Y/N and Namjoon are still looking... Maybe we could go to the sitting area outside of the store." She said, forcing herself to sound nonchalant.

No one seemed to suspect anything, so they all followed Mariana's suggestion. Unsurprisingly, all ten of them took up the entire lounge area. They all sat, carrying on as they had been all day while waiting for their friends.

"Mariana?" Hoseok leaned over and spoke softly to her.

"Hm?"

"Don't tell Y/N that I told you this... Namjoon would be upset if he knew I told someone. Promise?"

"Of course, Hobi. Is everything okay?"

"Everything is definitely okay. But I just decided I wanted to tell you what Namjoon told us a while ago. He said..."

Y/N's P.O.V.

"Y/N, I can't promise you that everything will always be happy and work out. I can't tell you that things won't be broken. What I can tell you... No. What I can promise you, is that I will always be here for you. No matter what. I'm so glad you confided in me, Y/N. It made me feel very special." Namjoon was staring deeply into my eyes as he spoke, and at one point, gently wiped away a final tear from my cheek.
