The morning sun still hasn't risen yet after I woke from my sleep. Everything about last night gives me chills. I don't understand half of what they were saying, but it doesn't sound too good. I open my eyes fully and sit up from my pillow. I yawn and stretch my body.

"Morning." I hear from the other side of the room. I look over and see Namjoon sitting on the floor watching me. Not creepy at all.

I reply, "Morning. Sleep well?" He chuckles. "I don't sleep. I don't need to. If it's essential then yes, but I don't if I can get energy from another." He states. He stands up and makes his way over to the bed. "Did you sleep well?"

I'm immediately taken back to when he and the mysterious man were talking together. I think of what to tell him. Do I say to him that I didn't sleep well? Or explain to him that I heard him talking about something with the stranger? "Nah, I slept a little hard, to be honest..."

"Stop-" His face is hard. He isn't showing any signs of emotion, a blank slate. "I wanted you to be honest with me, but you won't even let me know that you were awake last night." I look at my lap. I can't even look him in the eyes. "I'm more disappointed in you cause you said that you tried to lie to me even when you know that I am capable of reading your mind."

My cheeks turn a light pink color, and I try avoiding his gaze. "Look at me." He has his arms crossed over his chest. I look into his eyes. His eyes are a deep black color. "Tell me what you heard. Now." He leaves no room for questions. "Answer." His voice is hard and sharp.

I answer him with, "I didn't mean too. It's just that I didn't want to make you angry, or-"

"So you were scared that I would act out on you?" His eyes get wet in the corners. He's about to break down from anger. "After everything that we talked about? You are still afraid of me?"

"I'm not scared of you, Namjoon-" He cuts me off. His eyes are glowing now. They are almost a deep red color. "I am not here to be lied to (Y/N)!" There's a single tear falling from his face.

He lunges for my hand and grabs my wrist. He yanks it up, and my eyes are starting to water. I can feel the tight grip from him on me. "I gave you a part of me to show everyone that isn't human to stay the hell away from what's mine! And you want to tell me that you were scared of me?"

"How can I not be scared if you're yelling at me like this?!" I let the waterworks fall from my eyes. I don't hold them in anymore. "Don't give me that. I would do anything for you and you would dis me like yesterday's news."

I can't explain, but I feel like I've let him down and want to make it up to him. "What do you want from me? What do you want me to do...?" I look him in the eyes. "You can start by not looking at me, right now." I look down at my hands, withdrawing his gaze. "Then you can start by telling me what you heard last night, got it?" I nod my head.

"I was asleep later that night, but I was woken up by your 'friend' talking with you last night. I was up for a while after you were done talking with each other. I was too scared to say anything." The air gets less hostile. "Tell me what you heard, (Y/N)," Namjoon breathes. "Your friend said something about you liked me, and you wanted to stay here longer."

He places the palm of his hand on my left cheek and says, "It's alright. I could tell that you were awake. He could have as well most likely. We could hear your heartbeat growing more irregular."

He lowers his hand to pull up my head by my chin, looking me in the eyes. "I'm not angry at you, you know. I'm just upset about you not telling the truth to me, even after knowing I can read minds and more. Don't underestimate me." He doesn't say another word and pulls me into a hug. "There are things you don't know about me that I don't want you to know about yet."

I can understand that he has secrets and can respect that, but it's something that shouldn't be said for uneasiness. "You want me to make you something to eat?" He smiles a genuine smile. I smile back to answer silently. "Come on!" He's evaporated again, and I can hear pots and pans in the kitchen clanging together. Water running in the sink not long after.

I giggle and stand up. Maybe having Namjoon around isn't too bad after all. I walk over to the closet and search through my clothes. I pick a cozy outfit for today since I can relax today.

I change clothes and make my way to the kitchen. Once I walk into the kitchen, I see Namjoon cooking bacon. "Oooh. Can you-?"

"Make it crispy? Burn it?" He smirks eyeing me up and down. I give him a slightly amused face for his info. "Know-it-all," I remark. He gives me another once over and turns back to the skillet to watch the food. I let out a breath I had been holding in while watching him. The refreshing air is amazing.
