Sixteen || Kim Namjoon

Chapter 8.

Yoomi's POV (이 유미);;

It was now lunch hour rush. I just got back from school and quickly changed then made my way to the café. School was good, no one made fun of me, i just sat by myself and listened to some music while reading a book. Something i usually do.

Lunch hour rush lasted for an hour or so and left the café with only a small family and a group of old men.
I see a tall man walk into the shop and looks around. He then looks at me and takes off his mask, smiling. My heart starts to beat uncontrollably.

"Namjoon! Hi!" I say smiling, trying to pull myself together.
"Hey," he says as he sits on the chair by the counter.
"I got hungry and I cannot cook so I thought I'd come here!" He says smiling. I smile back.
"What would you like?" I ask.
"Something not sweet, i really need to stop with the sugar or I'll gain weight and go puffy," he says.

"Aw you won't gain weight and even if you do, you'll look adorable!" I say poking his cheek. Namjoon turns red as i just realised what i did. I bow to him.
"Sorry," i say.
"No, you are right, I shouldn't be worried about my weight... thank you," he says. I make his food and bring it back to him. I see that he changed his seat to sit by the bookshelf.

"Here you go! This is black bean soup with noodles and a muffin which is on me!" I say laughing slightly. Namjoon looks up at the food as his eyes widen.
"Wah! Daebak! This smells so good! Thank you!" He says.
"It's okay, just eat up and don't worry about the weight thing... you look amazing!" I say. Namjoon just smiles at me.

I bow and walk away from him. I sit behind the counter as i glace towards him, every so often.
He's 24, so i have NO chance of being with him but just talking to him makes my heart flutter and that feeling is one of the best feelings i know!

I hear the door ring as the café door opens.
"Hyunjin-ah!" I say as i run to him, hugging him.
"Yoomi!!" He says as he hugs me back tightly.
"Where have you been? I've been missing you!" I say.
"The café is so hard to control on my own!" I say.
"But how did the piano exam go?"

Hyunjin frowns as i see his eyes go to the floor.
"Oh my god... hyunjin I'm sorry, you can always pass next time," i say as i pat his shoulder.

"I'm sorry yoomi... but... i passed," he says as he looks at me with a big grin. I slap his shoulder and hug him.
"PABO! You made me feel so bad!" I say.

Hyunjin smiles at me and taps my nose.
"I'm here for the night shift, are you done with yours?" He asks.
"Nearly, just have to take payment from the customers then i can go, are we working at the same time tomorrow?" I ask.
Hyunjin nods.
"Yay! Team yoojin is back!" I say as we highfive.

"Ahem," i hear a deep voice from behind.
I turn around to see namjoon with his mask on and glasses.
"I'm done, can i pay?" He asks, he sounded slightly irritated.
"Erm sure, are you okay?" I ask as i walk behind the counter. Hyunjin takes off his coat and walks away.
"Yeah, the food was good but i have to go now," he says.

"Oh.." i say sounding a bit sad. I thought we could've had a chat but i guess not.
He hands me some money and i give back his change. I look back at the table to see he didn't take his muffin.

"You forgot your muffin," i say as i run and get it.
"As i said yoomi, i will gain weight," he says as he walks away, leaving me looking sad and confused.

After my shift was over i made my way home.
I couldn't stop thinking about why namjoon sounded so irritated at me. Did i do something to hurt him? Was it because i was staring at him? I reach home and for two hours I couldn't get it off my mind.

So i grab my phone and text namjoon.

Yoomi: namjoon I'm sorry if i did something to upset or irritate you. If it was because i was staring at you, i didn't mean it to be weird or annoying i just like looking at you. I'm sorry and i should never of have done it! I sound like an absolute creep and all but i just don't understand why you seem so angry... please forgive me.... I'll pay for your next meal at the café to say sorry! Only if you come back. Namjoon I'm sorry.

Without thinking i press send. I read my text and look at the part where i said 'i like looking at you'.
"WHAT NO NO NO! DELETE! WHY CANNOT I DELETE?!" I say. I throw my phone across the room and scream into my pillow, out of frustration.

I have just messed everything up with namjoon. He will think i am a weirdo creep!

What have i done...

Namjoon's POV (김 남준);;

Its been two hours since i left the café and at first i was a bit irritated but then I realised that i treated yoomi like.. shit.
"Ughhhh!" I say as i fall off my chair.
Suddenly i get a text from yoomi.

Yoomi-ssi: namjoon I'm sorry if i did something to upset or irritate you. If it was because i was staring at you, i didn't mean it to be weird or annoying i just like looking at you. I'm sorry and i should never of have done it! I sound like an absolute creep and all but i just don't understand why you seem so angry... please forgive me.... I'll pay for your next meal at the café to say sorry! Only if you come back. Namjoon I'm sorry.

I read it and smile but then instantly feel bad.
I made her feel bad about herself! Ugh control your damn emotions namjoon.

I smile at her cuteness in the text but then start giggling like a little girl when i see the part where she says she likes looking at me.
I quickly text,

Namjoon: meet me at han river by the little shops where they sell food at 11pm. We can talk then.

I know she has school but i want to see if she has feelings for me... even though it seems she has a boyfriend already. Who am I kidding? Why would she want to even be with me.

I'm 24. That's kinda creepy. But its only 7 years different. IU and her ex boyfriend were 11 years different...

Aish what am I thinking?! I slap my neck as i lay on the floor. Yoomi replies saying:

Yoomi-ssi: sure... even though i have school tomorrow, i will make it. See you there and sorry again.

I slightly smile at het message. She truly did have a pure heart. Her saying sorry was cute but also unnecessary. I should says sorry to her. I was at fault not her.

I couldn't help myself though. I got jealous. Yoomi is my little secret.. she cannot be with anyone else...

It'll hurt me if she was. Like actually hurt me.
