NAMJOON POV

Seokjin decided to walk me home after school after the scene in the nurse's office thinking I'd try something like that again. I don't think I will.

For now at least.

Anyway, right now Seokjin was babbling about almost dying while eating a roll.

"Namjoon, I swear I was chewing perfectly fine when suddenly I was choking! My mom told me I'd been choking the whole time but just kept chewing," he exclaimed. I looked at him weirdly before facing forwards again. Seokjin smiled softly at me.

"You ever wanna turn back time?" He asked. I nod in response to his random question. "Me too," he said. "There are so many things I wished I'd done," "like not choke on that wrap?" "Shut up," Seokjin said while giggling. "I meant things like, say I love you, or shared something with Jimin. That type of stuff. But I would also eat that wrap slower," he said giggling again. I nod.

"If I could go back in time..." I trailed off. "Hmm?" "I'd save Yoongi." "Why's that? Why not save yourself?" I didn't answer, Seokjin got the message and didn't pressure me like most people would when I say something you'd have to think about hard before you understood what I meant.

We continued walking in silence until Seokjin spoke up again.

"You know, you remind me of my dad," he saids softly. I make of face of disgust while imagining a middle aged man. "I meant personality wise, idiot," he says as he glares at me. "My old man always kept to himself, never wanting to trouble us with his problems, all he wanted to do was protect us. Look what happened to him, he's gone now. I-if only h-he had-" Seokjin didn't get to finish before he broke down and started sobbing.

I stared at him for a few seconds before finally pulling him into my arms. I awkwardly patted his back and unknowingly played with his hair as he sobbed into my chest.

"It's ok," I said. "I'm here, everything is ok now. I'll protect you from your demons," I whispered, hoping he wouldn't hear but at the same time hoping he did. I didn't know where this sudden erge to comfort him came from, I was just saying the things I wished someone would say to me.

"Dad," Seokjin called out, "come back."

I looked down at him when he lifted his head to look at me. He smiled softly staring at me, as if he were looking into my soul before putting his lips on mine. It was just a quick peck. (we all know the difference between a peck and a kiss) Pulling back
Seokjin maintained eye contact with me, staring into my dark, soulless eyes. I leaned down and kissed him again, this time staying a little longer. Seokjin was flushed red, suddenly losing his confidence. I quickly realized what just happened and pulled back. I stared at the ground finding the Twix wrapper interesting. Seokjin looked away too, finding the fence next to him nice.

"Sorry,"

I was watching love yourself reel, and then watched a theory video on it. I cried 3 times, it be lit :)
