A Christmas Wish - NAMJOON FF

Chapter 3- A Promise

chapter 3-
I tilt my head and ask "now what could possibly be going on in that head of yours huh?" I said it sarcastically, then to my surprise he replied "spend Christmas with me." My eyes widened at the bluntness of what had just come out of his mouth, "excuse me, what did you just say to me?" I lose my breath and take a moment to process it all "I literally met you twenty minutes ago on a train and you're asking me to spend an entire weekend with you?!" I stood up off the bench as I scoffed "you're insane."

I turn to walk away and he exclaims "wait! Hear me out...please?" I exhale deeply as I think about whether I should turn back around or keep on walking, I decide to hear the guy out, I mean, what did I really have to lose? I'd just be going back to a cold and empty apartment anyways. I lash my body around and say "Fine. You have 5 minutes. Starting now." then I sit back down beside him, avoiding his eyes. "Look, if I take you with me, all those annoying relationship questions disappear, plus my grams might be able to pass on knowing her grandsons in good hands." I'm still in disbelief so the only way I can manage to react is through my sarcasm "So basically you want me to lie to your entire family simply for fun? For your benefit? What's in it for me Romeo?" He looks into my eyes and flashes me the brightest smile I'd ever seen, it even almost twinkled, I was taken aback by it, even almost speechless.

Then he said "You get to finally see what Christmas is all about, I'll change your mind you old Scrooge, and I'll give you the best one you'll ever have, that's a promise." I admire his beauty as I ponder his proposal, then I snap back to reality and realise how crazy this sounds, I stand up and shake my head "nope,nope, nope I cant do it! I'm sorry it's just too weird for me...I mean.. you could kidnap me for all I know!"

He giggles at me but then realises that I'm serious and jolts up to lightly grab my arm before I walked away again, he looked pleadingly into my eyes and said "I know this may not help but, my mom makes a mean Christmas turkey." I can't help but laugh at him, he already knew how to get through to me, he continued "I'll make sure there's lots to do and you'll have a great holiday season. I promise you won't regret it, please?"

I look at the ground then up at him, "3 days. I pretend to be your fake fiancée, get a guaranteed Christmas buffet, spend Christmas with my fake family, then I go home? No strings attached?" He nods and smiles "none whatsoever. So will you do it?" I reluctantly nod and say "Type in your number, I'll send you my address." He takes my phone and taps in his digits, i can't help but look at him, as I watch I see white clouds of smoke escape his full soft lips from the cold weather, and his melanin skin glowing in the moonlight.

Once he finished I had to get a hold of myself and act like I wasn't just staring at him for 5 minutes straight. I grabbed my phone and finally began my journey home, "Wait!" I hear from behind me once again "ugh what now?!" I say as I turn back around, "your name" he says "I didn't catch your name." My eyebrows raise as I realise we actually hadn't introduced ourselves to one another, "Oh, y/n. My name is y/n. You?" He smiles that pearly grin again and says "it's Namjoon. Kim Namjoon."
