UnPretty Thoughts: The Leader [ Namjoon x Reader ]

Ground Shaking

         

So her code name was 'Sunshine'? It wasn't bad, not by any means, but... It was different when Namjoon said it. It made her feel giddy, like walking next to him did when their hands would almost touch. Strange how he could say things and they could mean so much more. If it was anyone else, it all just sounded...well, causal.

At least Yoong- er, Suga had lost some of that razor edge he had been holding onto all throughout dinner. He seemed rather intimidating, even though he was probably the shortest member. Well, Jimin might be the shortest. It was hard to tell sometimes since Jimin had such fluffy hair. But at some point towards the end of the meal, Suga had softened.

When or why, it was a mystery to her, but Y/N was not complaining. She'd take smirking Suga over agitated Suga any day. He still wasn't really interacting with her, but it had only been a few hours since she moved in. And to be fair, she hadn't really interacted with much of anyone else besides Namjoon.

Perhaps she was just worrying over nothing. Everyone had been completely pleasant considering the circumstances. Finishing uploading the dishwasher with Namjoon's help, Jin asked them all to join him in the living room.

Interestingly enough, she had always thought Jin would be the same amount of silliness as he was on their tv-show-like episodes. In fact, he was far more mature and serious. Well, that was her impression anyway. The members really all just seemed to listen to one another. It was all very comfortable and natural.

And it made her feel more like an outsider. But that was her position, right? Just staff. An outsider. Ah, this was all starting to sound like an anime heroine... And not the cool kind. She should really try to think more positively!

Namjoon waited for her as everyone else rambled out. His small smile made her smile back. As Y/N started to walk out though, he reached out and grabbed her hand. Holy fish and chips! Think 'anime' and the 'anime' happens!

"Wait," his deep voice was rather quiet and husky as he met her eyes, "Before we go in there..." He hesitated, his voice falling away to nothingness as he held her gaze. He looked slightly troubled as if his thoughts were at war in his mind. It made her breath catch. The intensity around him amped up and she felt like the air had thinned. He made it hard to breathe, being so close to her.

"Yes?" She managed to breathe out, despite his intense gaze pinning her in place. Her voice seemed to solidify something in him. He looked reassured. It was always interesting watching his emotions turn behind his eyes. He was so expressive, it was really quite captivating, even as the space between them started to lessen.

"Don't be angry, okay?" he said simply. 'Don't be angry'? What did that mean? He tugged on her arm gently and pulled her close, his free hand reaching up and placing careful fingertips to her cheek. So close. So warm. Namjoon... His lips met hers, careful and soft and warm.

And then her brain stopped functioning. White hot warmth flooded her veins and it felt like tingling electricity was crackling just above her skin. The place were his fingertips met her skin felt like it was pushing fire through the contact. She was burning up in the most wonderful way. Soft and sweet, it was making her heart drum hard and her body tense with excited energy. Her hands almost grabbed at him.

But as soon as he had pulled her in he released her, turned and pulled her down the hall. Y/N blinked rapidly. She was in no state to function enough to navigate her way through the hall safely. Her brain was completely preoccupied.

He smelled clean, like soap...

He had tasted a bit like the sweet sauce from dinner...
