2:20

a dinner date with jimin was something namjoon never knew he needed until now.

he wanted this forever.

sipping on wine together and being so damn giggly because they're crushing hard.

(maybe they're in love.)

"so you moved here about three years ago and met hoseok?" namjoon asks as jimin tells him the story of their friendship.

he laughs and nods, "yeah, we had mutual friends and we went out together one day.

god, this is so embarrassing.

we tried hooking up but when it came down to it with both kinda stared at each other because..

well, we're both bottoms."

he turns red but he thinks it's funny and namjoon seems amused so it was alright.

"we were childhood friends. he's always been crazy but he's a good guy. i'm kinda crashing his place for now since i'm basically homeless.

i can't stay at my brothers and i don't have a job."

"well, why's that?" jimin asks as he reaches a hand over to hold namjoons own hand over the table.

"i got fired from my last office job because i had this thing with a guy there.. we got caught, his dad was the ceo, so he obviously took it out on me.

sent me packing, but it's alright. it was a boring job anyways."

their food comes and it's placed on the table. they begin eating and making small talk.

it's such a lovely evening, nothing like that night with soohyun.

"anything new with your brother?.." he speaks up after a while.

namjoon looks up and smiles reassuringly, giving him a look that tells him it's okay to ask and wonder abournrhe situation.

"he's getting a divorce, he actually told me today while i went to pick you up. i had no idea he had already filed it.

i'm just.. really hoping he gets custody of the girls. he'd be devastated if he didn't—

i would too. i love my nieces and not seeing them every day makes my life so miserable. it's almost like their my kids too, i was there for everything.

i helped them walk, i helped them learn how to talk. i changed their clothes when they got messy from eating.

and my brother did too, he doesn't get enough credit. he's too kind. i don't like seeing him get stepped all over."

jimin brings namjoons hand to his lips and kisses it softly.

"everything's going to be okay.. he'll be okay too, and the girls. they're going to get rid of that negativity in their home and be happy.

i can't imagine living with someone as cruel as her—

homophobic, how disgusting. in front of her little girls too? i couldn't dream of it. so, so awful."

namjoon nods, he doesn't even care if people watch him, he leans over the table slightly to kiss jimin, making sure he doesn't spill anything on the table or make a mess.

*******

namjoon pulls up to jimins apartment, sadly it seems like their night is coming to an end.

parking the car and asking for another kiss, pushing jimins hair back so he can look at his pretty face and rounded cheeks.

"why don't you come inside?" jimin whispers into the kiss.

"a-are you sure? i don't want to be a burden or
anyth—"

"namjoon, it's okay. i'm inviting you in, don't be silly."

he can't turn down the offer, so he turns off his car and then rushes to the other side to help jimin out after he closes his door.

taking the elevator up because he lives on the fifth floor.

he should've imagined jimin apartment to look like this but it was still a pleasant surprise.

decorated so sweetly with flowers everywhere and pretty paintings of all kinds.

it smelt like vanilla and lavender with candles on his countertop.

the walls painted a soft off-white pink with white wooden borders.

dark burgundy wood flooring.

the place was definitely well kept and it showed how much jimin loves his small living space.

"take a seat."

and namjoon does— on his cushiony sofa.

jimin comes over from the kitchen with some water and namjoon thanks him.

"your home is lovely." he says with a smile.

jimins couch has a few stuffed teddy bears on them and namjoon just finds that adorable, taking one into his lap and squeezing it.

"thank you, i try to make it as homey and welcoming possible.

it get lonely sometimes, that's why i like the daycare so much. i think kids are a blessing, i can't wait to have some of my own one day when i find 'the one'."

something about jimin really made namjoon reconsider hating all kids except his nieces.

he was just so understanding and sweet.

"would you stay with me tonight?.. please?" jimin asks softly.

he didn't like feeling alone, especially not at night when he had to turn off the lights in his apartment and sleep in his bed.

curling up by himself so he wouldn't get cold without the warmth of someone else.

"stay?"

"yes.."

namjoon reached for his hand and squeezed it. "okay.. i'll stay the night."

it makes jimin smile, place a kiss on namjoons cheek before letting out a yawn.

"let's call it quits for the night." namjoon picks jimin up, jimin pointing to where his room was so they could snuggle up and fall asleep in each other's arms.
