Flowers and Tattoos

Ch. 6

"So, how're things with Namjoon?" Jin asked, dishing me out some black bean noodles.

I was over at Jin's house for lunch. It was a Sunday in the middle of November and the cafe was closed because our heater broke and they couldn't come fix it until tomorrow. Which was fine because everyone got a much needed break. Namjoon's parlor was still open and I texted him I was at Jin's for lunch and would meet him for dinner tonight at my place.

"Really well. He's unlike any person I've ever met in my life." I explained, taking a bite.

Jin smiled a little, "I'm happy that things are going well. I can't wait to meet him formally."

"He's just so....different. I mean, his body is littered in tattoos and he acts like a total douche a lot of the time around other people, but he's got a whole other side to him. He loves animals, he's a book worm, and he enjoys taking nature walks. Oh! And he catches crabs at the beach and brings them home to keep them as pets." I rambled, shoving noodles into my mouth.

Jin looked amused as he sipping his wine, "He catches crabs at the beach?"

I nodded, "He doesn't like seafood because he thinks sea creatures are his friends and shouldn't be eaten."

Jin laughed, "He sounds lovely, Jimin. As long as you're happy, I'll be happy for you. Has he kissed you yet?"

I choked on my drink and coughed. My face turned red, "No...We're just friends."

"Friends who have dinner every night together, walk with each other to and from work, text each other everyday, and go and see each other at work. I'd say it's something more than friends." He explained, leaning back in his chair.

My face was a dark red, "He probably is just being friendly and enjoys my company."

Jin smirked, "Mhm, you keep telling yourself that."

I pouted, "There's nothing going on, hyung."

"But you like him a lot, don't you?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Well....yeah..."

"Okay and you're always gushing about him calling you cute right?"

"Well....yeah..."

"Maybe he likes you too."

I thought for a second. Yeah he walks me home and walks me to work. Sometimes he buys me dinner and sometimes I buy dinner. We sometimes talk or most most times we watch movies. Sometimes we stop for hot chocolate on the way home and sometimes we take the long way home just to admire the scenery outside. It's always really fun and there is never a moment where we aren't talking to each other.

Does he like me too? I know I like him but I think it's too soon to really even think he likes me. I don't even know what we do is considered dating or what we are. I know we're friends and I know that we hang out pretty much 24/7. For god's sake he got me flowers, my favorite flowers. He remembers my favorite foods and makes the effort to pick out what I don't like and eats it instead. I think he learns my interests and makes the effort to talk about them with me. The only reason I think that is because when I start talking about something I'm interested in, he has to think about it for a second before speaking. It's sweet actually.

"I don't think so...He's probably just being nice." I said, shaking my head.

Jin gave a dramatic sigh, "Jimin you never shut up about him! It's obvious you're head over heels for him! Just tell him!"

"But what if he doesn't feel the same way? I'll just ruin it everything. I want him to tell me how he feels when he's ready." I explained.

Jin just nodded, "Invite him over for our friendsgiving. It's in two days. I would love to get to know him more."
