43: outro: her.

"I'm confused too, which one's the real me? Did you figure out that I'm a book after I met you? Or did you turn my page?"

The band said their goodbyes after a few more rounds of Korean barbecue (promising to stay in touch at the end, of course), and the couple made their way to Namjoon's apartment as the last trace of light died out.

"You know what would make this night even better?" Rein asked once they got home. Namjoon quirked his eyebrow.

"What?" he said. It had been a good month since they had sex, what with their consistently busy schedules. She was very horny, to say the least.

"You doing me," she replied with a coy smile as she made her way over to the bed, patting the soft surface once she reached it. He rubbed his chin with a feigned inquisitive expression, then looked at his watch.

"Hm... Right now? I guess I could fit that into my schedule..." he said, then laughed when Rein threw a pillow at him from the bed. The impact didn't even last five seconds before he gave a playful growl and pinned her down. She bit her lip and stared up at him, eyes full of adoration.

"So, you think you make some time?" she asked. He leaned down to her ear and bit her neck before replying.

"I'm sure I can for you," he said.

The night certainly got better after that.

Rein awoke to Namjoon kissing her gently along her jawline and smiled, craning her neck as he went lower. Even through half-lidded eyes, she could see that his bare chest and tattoo gleamed deliciously in the moonlight. The fact that the sun wasn't out yet at this hour was unusual, but she didn't think on it too much.

"Mmm... Good morning to you, too," she murmured sleepily. He didn't reply and only went down to her neck, then her collarbone. Before he could go any further, (and she trusted he would have if she hadn't stopped him) she tilted his chin up to meet her eyes.

"What's this for?" she asked. Namjoon gave her a devilish smirk and held up two train tickets to Jeong-eup Station, then sat up to hold up another set of tickets, those for a bus near Jeong-eup Station. Rein raised an eyebrow.

"Wow. Where are we going?" she asked, curious as to what he had in mind.

"Naejangsan National Park," he said. The name rang a bell. Rein had wanted to go there as soon as she saw the pictures of the crimson leaves on an ad online, but it was too far away to go alone and to justify that to Ms. Cho, who would have had to keep track of where she was. But now, Namjoon could take her and take care of all the specifics. He practically read her mind.

"When's this gonna be?" she asked, then got out of bed and went into the restroom to wash her face. He stood outside the door.

"Uh, today, if that's okay," he said. Rein's eyes widened as she ran over to her phone to check the time. She stared at the screen, wondering if her eyes were playing tricks on her. She definitely had time to get dressed; it was 6:00 AM.

"Why... Did you wake me up so early..." she whispered, fatigue inching its way back into her body.

"I'm sorry, but I had to. The train leaves at 7:00 AM, and we have a lot to do today. I mean, you don't have to wear anything special. T-shirts and shorts should be fine," Namjoon said. His smile disarmed her hostile state, and she found herself nodding along.
