The nanny• Kim Namjoon

chapter 53

When Diana and Jimin got out of each other's hold, Jimin went over to his girlfriend and sat in-between her and seokjin. Diana looked around the table and saw namjoon and yoongi whispering to each other but it looked like they were arguing.

The seat that was available was the one opposite namjoon and he was arguing with yoongi, begging him to sit in that seat instead because he wanted Diana to sit next to him and yoongi objected which angered namjoon a bit. Forcing himself to make up excuses to let Diana sit next to him but yoongi wasn't having it.

The moment Diana sat in the seat opposite namjoon's, both men stopped arguing and namjoon glared at yoongi who smirked at him then looked down, feeling nervous.

Namjoon didn't want Diana to sit opposite him because he knew that he couldn't keep his off her and he would end up playing footsie with her under the table, Diana looked absolutely beautiful with red lip stick on and namjoon's eyes were mesmerized.

Diana felt somewhat awkward in her seat, namjoon hasn't looked up from his lap yet, meaning he didn't look at her, friendly eye contact never hurt anyone. She looked around the table and startled feeling nervous, she was panicking about the amount of food she cooked, wondering if it would be enough and seokjin, a renowned chef was going to taste her food, he was the Gordon Ramsey of south Korea.

"now that Diana is here, let's eat" taehyung said, cutting the comfortable silence but Monica objected, "we are not touching this food until we say our grace", namjoon gulped, his nose twitched. As much as he wanted to curse Monica or get up and leave the table, he didn't have the energy to have an argument about the existence of god.

The guys tensed, feeling uneasiness radiate off of namjoon. Hoseok wanted to tell his wife to forget about but Monica was never one to never say her grace before a meal. "join hands, bow your head and close your eyes" Monica instructed.

Monica began to pray and namjoon had his eyes open wide, shifting in his seat every time Monica thanked good. His eyes began to wonder around the table, feeling a bit of disappointment that his best friends went ahead and pray to god in his mansion, somehow his eyes landed on Diana and they didn't want to come off.

"amen "everyone but namjoon said in unison but he kept staring at Diana. Jungkook watched from his peripheral vision how namjoon stared her down as if he was watching his favourite documentary on coding. Diana and namjoon made eye contact and while Diana smiled before looking away, namjoon's heartbeat decreased before skyrocketing but he still kept his eyes on her, Jungkook smiled and nudged taehyung who smiled as well.

Everyone was fixing a plate for themselves and Diana stayed planted on her seat, her eyes trained on the table. she was hoping for the worst. Namjoon noticed her tenseness and kicked her foot under the table. She looked up at him, ready to curse but was silenced when namjoon gave her the plate of food her fixed for himself, moving over to fix another one.

Yoongi, Jungkook, rose, namjoon and minyoung were having steamed veggies and lobster rolls while hoseok, Monica, taehyung, Jimin and Diana were having japchae and fried chicken and seokjin was having everything. Namjoon knew why Diana was nervous but she had no reason to be, if anything he was proud of her.

"before we dig in, I have something to say" namjoon announced while making eye contact with Diana who widen her eyes and kicked his shin. Namjoon ignored her, "this food was cooked in the mansion, homemade not bought" he says and seokjin cocked an eyebrow, Diana closed her eyes tightly, "who cooked then?" Jungkook asked, "Diana did" namjoon responded, sounding like a proud man, "she cooked everything, baked a cake and the juiced watermelons" he added while the others praised Diana.

Seokjin hummed and namjoon looked at him with pleading eyes. Everyone except Diana and namjoon began to eat, moaning at the burst of flavour on their tongue, seokjin took his time, chewing slowly, his facial expressions changing from time to time. Diana felt her stomach dropped and she lost her apatite.

A while after namjoon began to eat but he noticed that Diana hadn't touched her food. He didn't want to bother her so he kept eating. When everyone was done eating, now enjoying the juice, seokjin announced that he wanted to say something, "I've never tasted this kind juice before but I like it, the food was delicious, I took my time to savour the flavours, it didn't taste like a traditional Korean meal, it tasted original and I liked that, well done Diana" seokjin praised and everyone else agreed with him, Diana muttered a half assed thank you and kept her face stern.

"say, would you like to work at ,my restaurant?" seokjin asked and before Diana could say anything, namjoon spoke for her, "No, Diana can't work at your restaurant, she just dropped out of a cooking program and she's already working for me, she cant work for you now but maybe later" namjoon responded and Diana looked at him with a shocked expression. Seokjin pursed his lips awkwardly, yoongi and hoseok looked at namjoon in awe.

Time skip

"I hope we will be able to hang out while I'm in Korea" Monica says to Diana as they hugged for the last time that day, "yeah, me too" Diana responded then waved her sister off. Hoseok and namjoon didn't say anything to each other, hoseok gave him stern look and namjoon glared at him.

Both men got in argument when they were finished eating. Hoseok was telling namjoon that he shouldn't be making decisions for Diana and namjoon made up excuses again then the conversation turned into a heated argument which ended with hoseok saying "Diana is the one for you" and namjoon saying "stop forcing me to love her"

Diana closed the door and turned to namjoon who had a blank expression, she walked over to him and wrapped her arms around him, engulfing him in a hug and pressing her head against his chest. Namjoon was taken aback by the sudden action but hugged her back almost immediately.

"thank you" Diana croaked out and squeezed him tighter, "for what?" namjoon asked and pulled away, Diana sounded like she wanted to cry so he pulled away and cupped her cheeks feeling like the holding his world, "for bringing my sister to me" she said and tears began to fall, namjoon used his thumbs to wipe them away-

"school was boring!" seoljun purposely shouted which caused taehee to smack him behind his head because she was enjoying the moment. They were both absorbed in each other that they didn't see when they children came, namjoon pushed Diana away and went up to his study.

Thank you so much for 6k oh my gahd
