Today was so fun for me. How was yours? ❤️

Namjoon’s POV

“Yah! Kim Namjoon!”

I hear Jesse’s booming voice echo through the halls of the hotel we are staying at. I turned around and addition to the loud stomping of her feet, I can see the redness on her face caused by how angry she looks. Yoongi hyung was walking behind her, looking so tired and defeated.

Once the girl reached me, she tiptoed on her feet and reached for my head which earned me a hard smack.

“Yah! Jesse! What the hell?!” I exclaimed.

“What the fuck Namjoon! I thought we talked about this.” Jesse exclaimed, obviously fuming. I didn’t even know what I did.

“I’m tired, Jess. What did I do now?” I whined while slightly rubbing the back of my head.

“I told you Yumi is fragile. You promised me you’d be patient, you idiot! What happened to that promise, huh?” she scolded.

Flashback

It was maybe a few weeks after I started texting Yumi that I confided on Jesse. At first, I thought it was just a simple admiration. The girl was a breath of fresh air and with how secluded our circle of friends are, me and the boys never really had a chance to meet new people. When my members started talking about her, curiosity got the best of me. I find myself tuning in to whatever the boys were talking about when it comes to her and the curiosity grew even more.

When I finally met her, I found myself amazed by her beauty. It’s so hard not to stare every time we’re in the same room. It’s much harder to stop myself from approaching her and talking to her. Until that night at the rooftop when I realized who she was. The girl who was constantly bugging my mind since a year ago and the girl who stole my attention the first time we met was the same person. And I found myself getting more and more addicted to the thought of her. I got greedy with seeking her attention that even though I don’t get it a lot, I still try to contact her.

One night, Jesse was staying at the dorm and I was lost in my thoughts again while getting a late night snack. She appeared in our small kitchen and got some water. I didn’t even notice her sit beside me until she tapped me on my shoulder.

“Joonie. Something wrong?” she softly asked.

“Nothing, Jess. I’m fine.” I replied weakly.

“You don’t look fine, Joonie. Is it work?” Jess answered. Jess is one of the heads of our PR team. She’s behind almost all the concepts of our photo shoots in addition to my input and she’s amazing at making all of our imaginations come to life on set.

“I wish it was just work, Jess.” I sighed.

“So it’s something else?” she inquired.

I lowered my head and released a deep sigh. I don’t know if I should tell her this. It’s been bothering me lately and I know how close she and Yumi is. I don’t want to freak out the girl if ever Jesse decides to tell her what I’m about to say.

“I can’t seem to get your friend off my mind.” I finally replied while slowly looking at her. Her face is a mixture of giddiness and empathy that I don’t know what to think of it.

“You’re so obvious I’m not even surprised anymore, Joon.” She chuckled. I smiled back at her and turned my attention to the ramen in front of me.

“Did she tell you how we first met?” I asked her.

“I was there, Joon. She didn’t have to tell me.” She replied.
