Y/N's P.O.V.

Despite the fact that I spent time with Namjoon, we didn't talk as much as I expected. He seemed on edge, anxious, and I suspected it was about the whole 'me in a towel' thing. He'd seen me in a towel, and I didn't see any harm in it. In fact, the way he had checked me out had made me feel light and floaty.

I had gotten dressed, and eventually, I found myself sitting around with all of my friends, sharing snacks and talking. Namjoon looked at me several times, but would turn away quickly when I looked at him. Even after we loaded into the van, he didn't sit beside me, instead taking a seat behind me.

I ended up beside Hoseok, who wasn't able to sit beside Mariana because it was her turn to sit in the front with Seokjin.

I wanted desperately to talk to Namjoon, make sure that everything was okay, but I could never find the right moment.

After openly admitting my feelings for Namjoon to Mariana, it became almost impossible to ignore. I just wanted to sit next to him, talk to him... Hold his hand. When I first saw him in his tuxedo, I'm sure my heart stopped. He looked amazing.

Finally, our large group got into the van. We were on our way to the AMA Banquet. I remained somewhat quiet for most of the ride, being next to Hoseok and Jimin who seemed to entertain each other when Hoseok wasn't talking to Mariana. I almost wanted to shout at them, 'Just date already'!

Not wanting to intrude on their conversations, I resorted to playing a game on my phone. Randomly, the image of Namjoon's smile popped into my head, causing me to smile. I really wanted to talk to him.

An idea suddenly formed in my mind. Putting my idea into action, I went to my text messages.

Hey Namjoon.. You okay??

'I really hope he'll see my message and respond.' Before the the thought even had time to fully form in my brain, my phone buzzed.

I feel like I should be
asking you that question

I furrowed my brow in confusion before typing a response.

Yeah I'm fine... Why
wouldn't I be?
