Scars to Your Beautiful (Kim Namjoon/BTS Prince AU)

Chapter 15

You wake up and remember what happened last night. Your cheeks darken and you notice that Namjoon is sleeping soundly beside you. His arm was draped around your waist and his legs were tangled into yours. Your heart was beating quickly at the sight. You were startled when you heard Namjoon's voice, "Mmmm. What are you doing up so early, baby?" His voice was raspy, laced with sleep. You could tell that Namjoon was still half-asleep. You reply, "Nothing, Joonie. Just uh....thinking I guess." Namjoon replies, "Or were you admiring me?" Busted. Namjoon untangles his body from your and sits up. His nose gently brushes against yours. He touches your cheek and asked, "You okay?" Your cheeks darken once more in response. Namjoon coos, "Awe! Is my baby being shy?" He takes your hand and replies sweetly, "You're so adorable when you get shy like this." You reply, "You're my first...." His lips brush against your collarbone, "You're my only love. You are the one the mended my heart."

You were lucky. The university was closed for the next two months due a sudden collapse. The news made Namjoon happy. To him, it meant that he could spend the next two months with you. It also meant that you two could finally talk about the wedding.

You didn't want to admit it but...you may have "borrowed" one of Namjoon's shirts. You felt lazy and didn't want to go back to your own room to grab another dress. Namjoon spoke up, "Y/N, are you—" Namjoon stopped speaking when he saw you wearing his shirt. Namjoon remarks, "So that's where some of my shirts have gone." He walks toward you and wraps his arms around you. He adds, "I'm not complaining though. You look so good in my clothes." You hear someone clear their throat. You both look up to see Taehyung standing at the door. Taehyung says, "Namjoon hyung, Jin hyung is looking for you. He says he needs your help with one of the proposals he's planning to speak about." Namjoon gives you an apologetic look. He kisses you quickly before leaving you with the youngest Kim.

Taehyung decided to take to an art museum. He smiles as he speaks, "Art is so soothing in my eyes. It's better than looking at piles of documents." Taehyung realized that you weren't beside him. He notices you looking at a painting in fascination. You murmur, "So beautiful." Taehyung smiles, "Do you like that painting, noona?" You nod and continue to stare at it. Taehyung remarks, "That painting is called Water Lilies. It was painted by a French painter named Claude Monet in 1919. It's actually a series of 250 oil paintings. It's a representation of his pond reflecting light off the water with the water lilies in the surface." Your eyes sparkle in fascination. Taehyung continues to tell you about different paintings until his phone rings.

Jin lets out a groan. Namjoon, who sat beside him, shakes his head. Namjoon remarks, "You're groaning yet you asked me to help." Jin rubs his temples, "The cabinet has been quite bothersome lately. All they ask for is money. They don't even care about the wellbeing of their own citizens. It makes me sick." Namjoon sighs, "Hyung, we should try and resolve some of these problems." One document caught both Namjoon and Jin's attention. The title of the document read, The Fate of Cortalia's literature museum. Namjoon quickly grabs his phone and calls Taehyung.

You hear Taehyung speak, "Noona? Yeah she's here." Tae hands his phone to you, "It's Namjoon hyung." You nod and take it. Namjoon said, "Hi love. Are you busy?" You reply, "Not at the moment, is something wrong?" You hear Jin speak, "Y/N, what do you know about the literature museum?" You respond with a huff, "Enough to know that funds are being drastically cut. The museum has been around for almost six centuries. My great grandfather was the curator there. That museum holds more literary history than any other museum in any of the other kingdoms. Why do you ask?" Namjoon sounded desperate, "Could you help us with this? You have more experience with this kind of topic." You look at Taehyung who motions you to hand the phone back to him. Taehyung remarks, "Namjoon hyung, don't worry about me. I have a feeling it's something important. I'm just going to be at the museum for a few more hours and then I'll come back." When he hangs up, Taehyung offers you a small smile. Tae says, "Noona, you should go help my hyungs. They sound a little clueless about what they just told me." You nod and hear Tae add, "We should do this again." You nod once more and bid Taehyung goodbye.
