Heartbeat //MinJoon

"Hey Jimin?" I turned around to look at Namjoon, humming a response. "Do you want to watch a movie with me?" We've been living together for about 4 months now so this was a really common occurrence, but I wasn't really used to it for my feelings towards Namjoon increased by the millisecond.

I paused for a few moments, feeling a wave of heat rush to my face.

Come on Jimin! I thought, mentally slapping myself. It's just a movie. Nothing else. Plus he asks all the time! Get it together!

"Yeah sure. What movie?" I headed over to the couch and sat next to him, almost on top of each other. It was early Fall so the apartment tended to get cold at times. Our shoulders brushed together as he moved to grab the remote.

"I was, uh," he turned on the tv and went to Netflix. "Thinking a horror movie. Are you okay with that?" I shuddered at the thought but smiled anyway.

"Yeah. I'm fine. Horror movies don't scare me anyway." I lied. He muttered an 'okay' and chose a movie called 'Stiches.'

So much for 'just a movie'...

Within the first minutes of the movie I was already scared. I buried my head into Namjoon's shoulder trying to avoid the screen as much as possible.

"Hey, are you sure you're okay with watching this? I can change it." I shake my head, lifting it from his shoulder.

"N-no... I'm fine." But just as I said that, the clown had plunged a knife into another man's head, cutting it open. Tearing up, I quickly jumped on Namjoon's lap, clinging on to his shirt for dear life while my face was buried in the crook of his neck.

"Okay," he grunted, "that's enough for you." I felt him move to grab the remote and the sounds of people dying ceased. He pet my head in a soothing manner, trying to calm me down.

"Hey Jiminie. Look at me." I would've blushed at the nickname but I was too scared to think about it too much. I looked up and gazed into his chocolate brown eyes. He continued to run his hands through my hair and smiled.

"Everything's okay. Nothing's going to get you when I'm here with you, understand?" He said, his voice barely above a whisper. I sniffled and nodded, blinking away any tears that hadn't already fell down my cheeks. He placed his hand on my cheek and wiped away the tears with his thumb. We just stayed like this for a moment, staring into each other's eyes.

"You wanna go pick up Hoseokie?" I nodded once again, closing my eyes. "Okay. Let's go do that." He picked me up and walked over to the shoe cabinet, setting me down on my feet. We both put on our shoes and headed out into the dark night.

When we arrived, I ran past Taehyung and over to Hoseok and hugged him.

"Ahhh. Hoseokiee~" I rub his head and turned to find Taehyung and Namjoon gone. I quickly stood and looked around to find them. I looked over to his office and saw then there, the door cracked open. I knew I shouldn't have but I evesdropped anyway.

"Namjoon what happened? Usually Jimin just doesn't run past me." I heard Namjoon sigh.

"We watched a horror movie."

"Kim Namjoon!"

"What? I didn't know he was scared of movies like that. He didn't tell me." Taehyung sighed.

"What happened afterwards?"

"I comforted him. What am I supposed to do? Sit there and let my baby cry?" My heart stopped and I felt blood quickly rush to my cheeks. I stopped listening after that and headed back over to Hoseok who was now laying down comfortably. After a few minutes, the two came out of the younger's office.

"Come on. Let's go home Jimin." I nodded slowly and followed, Hoseok trotting beside me happily. When we stepped outside, I suddenly remembered that it was 9 pm and very dark outside. I clung onto Namjoon's arm like a koala and squeezed my eyes shut. He noticed this and ran his hand through my hair.

"Would you like me to carry you Jiminie?" I nodded, more enthusiastic than I should've been. He squatted down and motioned me to get on his back. I climbed on and we headed home.

Holo ladies and gents! Welcome to another chapter! I hope this isn't going too fast. I just wanted to speed up the process of them being together because that's when all the fluffy stuff happens! Also I just really wanted to write something about Namjoon being very endearing to Jimin.

Well, until next time See ya!
