You stopped in your tracks as you stared at Namjoon. He didn't have his pink hair or his usual smart clothes on. In fact, he looked breath taking. Your words caught in your throat as the man in front of you stared at you blankly, twirling a lollipop in his fingers.
"Yes? Who are you and how do you know my name?" He narrowed his eyes at you, scrutinizing you. Those loving eyes you knew were replaced with cold and defensive ones.
"I-I..." You stammered, trying to think of a reasonable lie to, cover your tracks.
"Well?" He said impatiently, tapping his foot. You opened and closed your mouth, your mind blank. "Look, if you can't supply answers-" He took a few steps forwards so he was towering over you.

"C'mon Joonie, I think you've scared the pretty girl enough." You heard a voice call up high above. You looked up, shielding your eyes from the sun, only to see the rest of the boys. They were all sitting on top of an abandoned train carriage. The voice belonged to Taehyung. Your eyes widened as you stared up at the boys, dumbfounded, your eyes trailing from one boy to the other until they landed on Jin.

What the fuck...I was with Jin like two seconds ago?! It must have worked...I'm here.

You cleared your throat, regaining your posture. You leaned into Namjoon so your foreheads were nearly touching. Your voice dropped down to a low whisper. "I'll tell you later, please, you have to trust me for now." You pleaded him, looking into his eyes for some sort of recognition. He hesitated before finally nodding. You let out a shaky breath of relief.

"So, who's the girl? Is it your girlfriend?" A voice teased beside you, causing you to jump. It was Jimin's voice, the boys eyes were creased up from his big grin. You licked your lips quickly, your eyes shooting to Namjoon. His face relaxed slightly, a smile on his face.

"As a matter of fact, she is. This is (Y/N)." He suddenly pulled you close to him by your waist, before leaning down and kissing your cheeks. Your cheeks heated up as you fake smiled at the rest of the group.

I'm so sorry but it's fake love.

"How did this nerd get such a pretty girl?" Jimin punched Namjoon's forearm, chuckling. Namjoon shrugged off the punch, rolling his eyes at Jimin. "Just because you can't get laid." Namjoon shot back, his grip tightening on you.

"Yoongi lays me down on a daily basis." Jimin winked at Yoongi, causing the rest of the group to splutter. Yoongi flipped him off casually, before smacking the back of Jimin's head, a death glare on his face. "Sorry." Jimin muttered like a child getting scorned.

"So, (Y/N), tell us about yourself." Jin smiled warmly at you, moving topic. Your mind raced as you stared blankly at their faces. "I'm not that interesting to be honest, there's not much to tell." You smiled bashfully, not technically lying but not telling the truth either.

"What're you talking about, babe, you're so interesting!" Namjoon put emphasis on the word babe, a smug grin on his face as he stared down at you. " I mean...I can dance and play piano I guess? " You said uncertain of their reactions.

"Wohooo, mind if I steal your girl Namjoon? I need a new dance partner, my ones getting distracted." Hoseok glared at Jimin who rolled his eyes before taking your hand and pulling you away from Namjoon. "Show me your moves." He said, his eyes sparkling , smiling. He seemed so excited.

You look around, staring dumbfounded at them as they all looked at you. A wave of nausea waved over you. You had only danced in front of Hobi and Jimin. Not the rest and certainly not in front of Namjoon. If any of them would walk into the studio, you'd instantly stop dancing, unlike Hobi and Jimin who would seem so lost in the music.

"Maybe another time, Hobi, my knee is uh really, y'know, sore. " You patted your knee, slightly leaning on Namjoon as you put on your best performance to look hurt. "I'll hold you to that." Hobi grinned brightly at you. You let out a breath of relief as he seemed to have taken the lie.
