Pick Up Lines (Taejoon)

8

Namjoon watched the TV screen intently. The guy was about to get the girl! They were both under a cherry blossom tree, both looking stunning and heart-struck. Namjoon shoved another handful of popcorn into his mouth as the man confessed his true love. He saw the woman tear up but a grin light up on her face. And... and... they were going to kiss!

Bzzzzzzzzzz

Namjoon frowned and glanced to his side. His phone was vibrating on the couch beside him. He looked back up at the television to notice he had just missed the magical moment. He had been waiting so long to see this ship sail and now he had missed the moment of passion and love that had built up through seasons upon seasons just because someone had decided to text him at the wrong time. He scowled at the flat, black device to his side, muttering curses under his breath and considering throwing the device across the room just to be rid of it and its interruptions.

Namjoon unlocked his phone, checking out who on earth would have texted him at this time. His friends knew he was addicted to his drama and they wouldn't have texted unless it was an emergency and then they would have called.

Namjoon's frown deepened as he realized the text had been sent from an unknown number. He looked back to the screen in front of him. The after episode credits were rolling. He huffed. He had nothing better to do now than mess with an unknown number.

Unknown Number: Hey Namjoon, it's Jin from work

Namjoon smiled when he realized it was Jin. His coworker was quite exquisite and rather lovely to the eyes. Not to mention he wanted Namjoon's help learning English....

You: Hi Jin Hyung, what's up?

Unknown Number: I was wondering if you were free tomorrow morning. You said you could help me with English?

You: Oh, yeah

You: Sure! Where should we meet?

Unknown Number: There's a café/coffee shop down the road from our work building, do you know it or do I need to send the address?

You: Yeah, I know it. I go in there sometimes

Unknown Number: We could met there if you like. Since you're helping me out, food and drink is on me :)

You: Sounds good to me - what time?

Unknown Number: What time is good for you?

You: 10:00 AM?

Unknown Number: We can get brunch then - I like your style ;) 10 it is. I'll see you then!

You: Ok!

You Have Saved this Contact in Your Phone as: JIN HYUNG

Namjoon chuckled. Perhaps he would make a friend and if he was lucky... maybe a boyfriend? He shook his head. Jin was gorgeous. He could probably have his choice of any man or woman those chestnut eyes landed on Namjoon sighed, get lost in his daydream of Jin. He supposed he needed to go choose what he was going to wear tomorrow. He wanted to look god and presentable.

His phone buzzed again, this time in his hand.

Jin Hyung: Do you want me to pick you up and we can drive there together?

Namjoon sat there, unsure. He liked Jin. He was sure of that. He looked back to the television, another one of his favorite dramas beginning. The theme song was blaring on his trashy speakers and he absentmindedly sang along. Something inside him stirred. His two favorite characters had gotten together because one had confessed. Should he confess?

Should he say something about his attraction tomorrow?

You: That's ok, Jin Hyung, I have some errands in town I have to run afterwards and I don't think it'd be a good idea.

If he did end up confessing and he was shot down, he didn't want to have to ride back with Jin. That would be awkward and embarrassing at best.

Namjoon made up his mind. If things were going well tomorrow, he would confess his little crush and ask Jin out.
