I'm a Monster. • Kim Namjoon / RM •

Chapter 3- Impossible.

(1210 words)

After all that he's going to tell me that I should just ignore him? That makes no sense whatsoever.

I keep thinking about that evening as I walk to my locker. Of course, Namjoon passes me in the halls without so much as a glance as he has for two days now. The only time we really communicate is during music.

"Hey, Alex." Eric says, leaning against the locker next to me.
"Hey Eric." I say, shutting the door to my locker. The only reason we get lockers in this building is the ridiculous amount of expensive books the professors want you to have.
"Mind if I walk with you to your car?"
"No, not at all." I say as I begin walking to my car. He silently follows me and only speaks up when I stop beside the driver side door. I glance behind him and sure enough, Namjoon parked where he has since day one.
"So.. I think you and I should go out today.." Eric says as he puts his hand on my waist.
"I think not. Are you not thinking about Ri Ta?"
"She's out of town, Alex, relax.." he says as he leans in to kiss me.

Before I can shove him off someone else shoved him.
"Did she say she wanted that?."
"So what? How is it any of your business? Do you like her or something? Didn't I tell you to stay away from Namjoon-"
"Jealous? You're jumping to a lot of conclusions now. Do you think I'll take her from you before you get the chance?" Namjoon smirks.
Eric only glares at him.
"Stay away from her. You can have any other girl you want, but stay away from her."
"Why is she so special?"
"She told you no. It's respect. She doesn't want you, and I won't let you try anything."
"You just want her too."
"No, I don't. She would tell me the same thing she told you, no, but the difference between us is that I'd respect that."
"Whatever."Eric huffs as he walks off.

"You make it impossible to leave you alone." Namjoon sighs.
"I didn't do it on purpose, but I'm sorry. I didn't make him do that." I say, making it clear that I was annoyed.
"I know. I just don't want anything to happen to you again. I know what happened before."
"Why do you care? One minute you're friendly, the next you're telling me to pretend you aren't there, make up your mind."
"It's more complicated than you think-"
"Then tell me whatever it is you're hiding."
"Im not hiding anything, don't worry about that."
"You make no sense Namjoon.." I sigh.
"I know, and I'm sorry. Let me make it up to you somehow."
"You're talking as if we were close." I laugh.
"Ah, I didn't mean it that way. But... I'd like to take you out regardless.."
"Are you..?"
"Asking you to go on a date with me, yeah." He nervously laughs.
"I know I should probably stay away from you, but.. I think I'll give you a chance." I joke.
"Then text me your address and I'll pick you up at say, 7:30?"
"Sure." I smile.
"Great, wear something fairly casual, see you later." He says as he walks to his car and gets in.

What have I gotten myself into?
*********

If only Ri Ta knew what I was doing..

Namjoon: I'm outside, let's go whenever you're ready.

//Namjoon's POV\\

Alex:I'll be there in a second.

I step out of the car as she walks out the door. This girl is beautiful, I'll give her that. I didn't mean for this to happen but just maybe, if she's by my side I can keep her safe. She shouldn't lose her life for something she had no control over.. it's wrong for me to take her out on a date without really having feelings for her..

"You alright?" She asks me.
"Yeah, I just.. I was just thinking about how beautiful you are." It wasn't a complete lie.
She just blushes as she gets in the passenger side.

She's too innocent, even as an adult.

I get in and drive to a fairly good restaurant in my opinion, opening doors for her on the way in.

"I dread telling Ri Ta I actually agreed to go out on a date with you." She sighed.
"We aren't anything official, it's just a little date to make up to you for what I did."
"I know, but still. A date is a date, and just the fact that I spoke to you will set her off I'm sure."
"Yeah and her boyfriend is an evil little-.. I'm sorry, he's a manipulative cheating asshole."
"you're right but it's not like she would listen."
"That doesn't seem like too good of a best friend."

Considering she's keeping someone that's trying to kill you around, she's a horrible friend.

"Don't say that, she's a great friend, she just doesn't fully understand the situation."
"Hey.." I say as I take her hand in mine, "don't let people get away with shit like this. You can't."
"It's not that big of a deal, I'll just keep pushing him off-"
"What if that doesn't work one day?"
"I'll worry about it then. Don't worry." She smiles.

She's asking for it...

//Alexia's POV\\

He seems to know something I don't.. that or he's just worried. I'm probably overthinking again.

********

Later that night we pull up to my house, laughing and joking.

Namjoon puts the car in park and looks over at me.

He's actually kinda handsome.. like a dark prince. Yeah. That's it.

He gets closer to my face as he lifts my chin with his finger and slightly tilts my head.

I thought he would kiss me, but it never happened, so I actually focused on him and noticed he was looking at my neck now. It only lasted a second before Namjoon smiled and let go of me.
"Go on and tell your mom you made it home safe. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Alright." I say with a smile as I get out.

I make my way to the door, before going in I wave at him, and as soon as he waves back I enter the house. I look out the window beside me and see him leave.

"So how was your date?" Mom asks.
"How'd you know?"
"You've been running around with this guy a lot recently, I figured it would happen. That was honestly a shot in the dark that it was today."
"Oh my god." I laugh as I run to my room.

Me: Thanks again for this evening.

I sent Namjoon a quick text and got ready for bed.

I got cozy as I watched Blood, a great Korean show Ri Ta introduced me too.

(A/N:Blood is actually a really good show, and yes, if you've seen it, one of the Doctors names is Yoo Ri-Ta.)

I hear my phone go off and see a text from Namjoon.

Namjoon: no problem. I had a good time.

Me:I'm glad. Im really tired though, so goodnight.

Namjoon: goodnight

I turn my phone off and go to bed, smiling..
