[ Reflection ] I NAMJIN

vii

Namjoons P.O.V

A week had passed by, and I had made it my mission to stop at the coffee shop every single day to visit Seokjin. Every time i'd enter the shop, I would be greeted with his soothing voice, making me smirk as I approached him. Simply handing him a bill and going to the back of the shop sitting in one of the booths, awaiting for my order; and every time Seokjin would bring it to me, the coffee and pastry aroma strongly filling the air, due to their freshness.

This time however was different. I was walking home a bit late into the evening, having finished working on some lyrics, I wanted to so desperately go home and lay down, to allow my body to get some rest from the long day I had put it through. However I needed to see him, it's the only part of my day I enjoyed so much.

Walking late at night was a scary thing, especially when you're trying so hard to not get noticed by anyone. My pace was slightly fast, my head hung low, as I stared at the pavement in front of me. Every so often fixing the black mask that hid the lower half of my face. Trying my hardest to be discreet in between the crowds of people that had come out on this fresh Thursday night.

Having been too focused on the ground beneath me, I was taken by surprise when an opposing force pushed against me. Making me tumble slightly backwards but not enough to send me to the ground.

"I'm so sorry for my-"

"Oh my god! You're Rapmonster!! I can recognize those eyes anywhere! You're him!The rapmonster!!," the stranger in front of me shrieks. My eyes cringing as a sigh leaves my lips. The mounds of people around us snapping their attention towards me.

"Oh my gosh it's him"
"Can we please have a picture?!"
"Please you're my idol! I love you so much"

"Thank you, thank you. I really can't right now though I have to hurry home," I apologize slowly walking backwards, the crowd that had formed in front of me still taking steps towards me.

"Wow, really? Even after all we've done for you and Suga"
"Yeah! You should be more grateful!"

People from the crowd start to mumble, ever so slowly inching towards me. I look behind my shoulder noticing I only had a block more to go before getting to Jin's cafe. I look towards the crowd of people in front of me. All of them holding their phones out with the flash on more than most likely recording or taking pictures. My eyes turn down slightly another sigh leaving my lips as I turn around making a dash for it.

Running in between masses of people, I can hear some loud footsteps behind me, along with some murmurs of, "please just one picture, well leave you alone afterwards." I sigh knowing that some rumor will probably blow up by the end of tonight. I look back still seeing a couple of girls trying their hardest to not lose sight of me. I sigh thinking about a plan b when it hits me. I take off the jacket I was wearing, leaving me only in a long sleeve shirt and throwing it onto the floor.

"Oh my gosh! He dropped his jacket," one of the girls scream stopping instantly to pick it up. I grin knowing my plan had worked, still keeping the same pace, I cross the street, about to dash inside the shop only to knock someone down when pushing open the glass door.

"Umph," the tall man groans as his body slams the floor.

"Jin! Oh my gosh I'm so sorry," I apologize closing the door behind me and switching the open sign to close, not wanting anyone to walk in while I was aiding the perfect man on the floor. He groans in pain, one hand trying to keep himself balanced while the other held the side of his head. I rush towards him, pulling down my mask in the process, kneeling in front of him and taking his head in my hands. He winces as I do so, making a stream of apologies leave my mouth.
