Boy With Luv (Kim Namjoon X Readers)

Chapter 10

Wing was released last week and the boys had been busier than ever with promotions and variety shows. And that meant they weren't at the studio often. It got quiet but it gave you time to work on your own songs in secret. Jimin, being a brat he is, would always surprise you by opening your door and making you hide your work. Good thing Seokjin bought you a lock. It was close to the end of the day but there was a knock on your door. The silhouette of the figure was seen through your tinted glass door. You were a little delighted to see his dimples.

"What are you doing here?" you asked, remembering how he should be at a music bank show.

"We ended early and the boys are going to dinner. They were wondering if you wanted to join us." He held his breath and waited for your answer.

"They want me to come?" you asked. And he nodded. In reality, he hadn't asked the boys yet but he was sure they wouldn't mind. Besides, if they say anything, he'll have Yoongi punish them.

"Are you done working?" he asked, looking over your head to see the monitor. It was a cello piece, he could tell that much. It made you realize that you had the audio file for Sugarplum opened. You slammed the door in his face, saved your work, and grabbed your stuff. Namjoon didn't move an inch.

"Sorry about that, and yes, I'm done. Are you sure it's okay that I go?" you asked.

"Yes, they're waiting at the restaurant. Manager Sejin will take us." he answered.

"Alright." you said quietly. The two of you walked to the car and sat next to each other in the back seat. Manager Sejin wanted to laugh out loud. The atmosphere was so tense, the scene he saw from the rearview mirror was like two middle schoolers too scared to confess to each other and when he saw Namjoon trying to steal glances at you, he realized that that's exactly what is going on. The ride was silent for the most part. Sejin felt uncomfortable in the silence so he decided to ask you some questions.

"Y/N, is your house near here?" he asked.

"Yes, it's in Pyeongchang-dong." you answered. Sejin's jaw dropped while Namjoon snapped his head to look at you. You looked at both of them in confusion. "Is there anything wrong?"

"Are you sure you want to work at our company?" Sejin asked. "I'm pretty sure your house could be bigger than it."

"Oh, um I just rent the place for the time being. The tenant is a friend of my family." you laughed nervously. Namjoon didn't seem to buy it. He also has noticed that the audio equipment were from expensive brands as well as your cello. But the clothes you were didn't reflect that. Strange, he thought. The restaurant wasn't packed but it was unusually loud, a sign that the boys were here. They were cheering and laughing loudly as you two approached.

Jimin was the first one to notice you and Namjoon and whispered loudly to the rest of the group. "Namjoon hyung brought the girl he likes." It seemed that he was a bit drunk, which was the only reason why Namjoon didn't kick his ass.

"It's just Y/N, you dumb ass." he snapped. He sat down next to Taehyhung and the only seat available was next to Yoongi. Before you could sit down, Namjoon told Taehyung to switch places with you. The baby was confused but followed the order. Namjoon felt that Yoongi took a liking to you and he would have felt uncomfortable seeing you sit next to him. The boys all smirked at each other, Namjoon might hide his feelings well but he's terrible at keeping it from his members. He would stack your plate with food before putting them on his. It was a habit that he does only with the members but he found himself doing it to you naturally.

"How are you feeling today?" you asked.

"Tired, so tired. But it's always so fun to see ARMY and hearing them sing along to our songs." he answered with a smile.

"They must also feel happy to see your comeback. The video was truly art."

"You watched it?"

"Of course. I couldn't stop watching it. Though I, along with your fans, are furious that the teaser version was not the real thing." you said jokingly.

He laughed. "Y/N, you worked on the song with us. You knew how it went."

"I know, but you guys are full of surprises, I thought anything could happen."

"Well, if you want, I'll make the full demo version for you." he leaned closer to your ear and said. It made your heart leap and your cheeks burning. You drank the ice water to calm yourself down. The atmosphere of the place was quite cozy, which contributed to the feelings that you were all friends here. The boys continued to talk about random things.

"Y/N, what's your dream?" Hoseok asked.

"My dream?"

"Yeah, like what did you want to be when you were younger?" he asked. Everyone quiet down to hear your response. Jimin held in his laugh while you glared at him.

You questioned what you should say because, for the most part, you're living your dreams. "Well, I want to play my cello all over the world. I also want to start a music school for children. Maybe when I grow older, I'll conduct an orchestra." you shrugged.

"What about in your romantic life?" Jimin asked and you wanted to punch him.

"I don't really think about that. Jinyoung- I-I mean having a boyfriend might be a distraction. Besides, it's hard to know who's genuine being in this business. I always feel like people want something other than the real me. Even my parents liked the facade I put on instead of their own daughter." You looked around and noticed the atmosphere has greatly shifted. "But I'm fine by myself." you laughed. Slowly everyone else started eating again, but Namjoon was still hung up on something. Jinyoung, he remembered it as the name of Sugarplum's boyfriend. Maybe another coincidence.

He noticed that you weren't eating that much, the weight of that conversation was probably too much for you to handle. He placed a hand on your shoulder, making you look at him. "I will like you for the real you." he said with a softness that made you melt. His mouth hung open a little bit and his eyes pleaded patiently. This was a side of him that you never see, so raw and vulnerable.

"What?" You heard him the first time, but you wanted confirmation because, for the first time in a long time, you finally felt complete. It was the same feeling as when you first picked up a bow or when you realize was the one for you. Now the man in front of you had given you that same feeling with three simple words.

"I like you."
