Flowers and Tattoos

Ch. 7

"Jiminie hyung!" Jungkook cheered, letting us in Jin's house.

I smiled and led Namjoon inside. I took my shoes and coat off while Namjoon stood there kind of awkwardly while talking with Jungkook. I walked up and grabbed Namjoon's arm, saving him from Jungkook's very indepth and weird questions. I pulled him into the kitchen where Yoongi, Hoseok, and Jin were all standing around talking.

"Jiminie! You're here!" Hoseok cheered, hugging me tightly.

"You just saw me a few hours ago." I teased, patting his back.

"Yeah but that was so long ago!" Hoseok whined.

Yoongi playfully rolled his eyes, "Stop acting a fool, Jimin has a guest."

"You're just upset because I stopped talking to you." Hoseok teased, letting me go and booping Yoongi's nose.

"Oh he came!? Wonderful! I'm Jin, it's nice to finally meet you, Namjoon! Jimin has told us so much about you." Jin exclaimed, reaching out his hand.

"It's nice to meet you, too. Jimin talks about you guys a lot, too." Namjoon said, shaking Jin's hand.

"That's Yoongi and Hoseok. They're sickly in love." Jin teased, pointing at Hoseok and Yoongi who were playfully poking each other.

"Like you're one to talk." Yoongi shot back.

Namjoon slowly started relax seeing how playful the trio was being with each other. It made me relieved that he was able to relax and enjoy himself. He was even smiling and laughing with them, it made my heart melt.

Before I knew it the food was served and man did it look good. There was kimchi, egg stir fry, noodles, chicken, fish, and some dessert. It all looked so amazing and it made my mouth water. We all got our plates together and all sat down at the table. I immediately dug in and hummed at how good the food was.

"Jin hyung its so good!" Taehyung exclaimed, happily taking a bite of his stir fry.

Jin chuckled, "Thanks. I'm glad every one likes it."

We all happily munched on the very well prepared food and made small talk amongst each other. I noticed Namjoon was very relaxed the whole time and seemed to be having a blast with Yoongi and Hoseok. I smiled lightly at the sight and started eating my rice cakes.

The food was almost all gone because we all came very hungry. It took us an hour to eat and now I was helping Jin clean up while everyone else was outside playing foot volleyball. I enjoyed helping Jin clean up because this is our gossip time. We love to just chat about everything and everyone.

"Have you ever heard from Sungwoo after he left?" Jin asked, putting left over food into containers.

I shook my head, "He hasn't and I never want him to. I'm still mad that he left and just decided to text me the day after to tell me then dump me. Why do you ask?"

Jin shrugged, "I just thought he might try to reconnect after three years. I know how much you liked him."

"He was my first ever boyfriend, my first kiss, almost the one to...you know. Then he just left. I dont like him anymore." I explained, putting away dishes.

He nodded, "Did you tell you know who how you feel?"

"No and I won't. He probably doesn't like me like that." I firmly stated.

Jin raised an eyebrow, "I see the way he looks at you, it's like you're the only thing he sees in a room full of people."

I rolled my eyes, "Yeah yeah."

It's not that I didn't want Namjoon to like me back, I really did, but I didn't want to get my hopes up. He was seriously everything anyone could ever hope for. He's funny, he's sweet, he loves animals, he's a bookworm, he loves nature, his smile is to die for, he's so good looking, he's so nice, and he's so talented. Seriously, he's just all around amazing. Yeah he has his moments where he's scary but it's what makes him...him.

He was in an emotionally abusive relationship but got out and I didn't want to pressure him into another relationship. Being around him made my stomach do cartwheels and my heart rate sky rocket. Just being with him and talking to him felt right. Everytime I accidentally brush his arm or our hands touch I just feel electricity. Just seeing him makes a bad day better.

I get excited whenever I see him waiting to walk me home or when he walks into the cafe. Namjoon could just look at me and any bad emotion I felt would just dissapate. Just thinking about him made my face heat up and my stomach go into knots.

"I kicked Namjoon's ass at foot volleyball!" Jungkook exclaimed, walking into the house.

"The guy has no coordination at all." Taehyung added, grabbing his water and taking a swig.

"Hey Yoongi hyung and Hoseok hyung were no better." Namjoon defended himself, pouting slightly.

I nearly cooed, "Yoongi hyung is awful at sports."

"I'll have you know I was a phenomenal basketball player in high school, thank you very much." Yoongi snapped, flicking my forehead.

I swatted his hand playfully and laughed. Jin decided since a few of us drank that we should all just spend the night here down stairs. Namjoon seemed a little leery about spending the night, but Jin turned on Hangover and Namjoon seemed to become engrossed in that. Since I always come prepared, I went out and grabbed my emergency overnight bag. It had a change of clothes, toothbrush and toothpaste, shampoo, and pajamas. Don't hate, it's called thinking ahead.

I went into the bathroom to change. It was just some booty shorts and a huge hoodie with fuzzy socks. The hoodie was basically a dress on me. I brushed my teeth and went back into the living room. I took my seat next to Namjoon and curled up into a ball against the couch. Jungkook and Taehyung were sprawled out on the floor cuddling each other, Yoongi and Hoseok were laying in the loveseat, Yoongi was laying on top of Hoseok while he was laying on the love seat. Jin had gone to bed with Chan after putting on the movie.

I held my knees against my chest and laid my head on them. It wasn't very comfortable but it would work. The movie was halfway through and I saw that everyone was pretty much asleep except for Namjoon and I. I sat up and stretched, my bones cracking. I yawned and rubbed my eyes with my sweater paws as I was cold. I shivered a little bit, Jin's house is like a fucking refridgerator.

"Cold?" Namjoon whispered.

I nodded, "Jin's house is like a fucking refridgerator."

Namjoon chuckled and grabbed a random blanket he found. He took off his belt and laid back on the couch. He motioned for me to stand up and he laid his legs on the seat. He opened his arms and the blanket to me.

"I'll keep you warm." He said, grabbing my hand.

If it wasn't so dark I'd say my face was dark red. I hesitantly laid on top of him and he was like a heater. I immediately got comfortable and laid my head in his neck. He securly wrapped us in the blanket and started to rub my leg and back with his hands. Man were they warm. I laid my arm over his torso and I felt myself be more relaxed.

"Hey Namjoonie?" I whispered.

"Hm?" He hummed, his chest vibrating.

"Thank you for coming tonight. I'm glad you did." I whispered, stroking his stomach with my thumb.

I could feel him grin, "I'm glad you asked me to come. This is the most fun I've had in awhile. Your friends are awesome, you're awesome."

I smiled a little, "They seem to really like you and I'm happy about that."

He hummed and we laid there in comfortable silence. I knew he wasn't asleep because his hands were still rubbing my back. Then I felt one of them come up and start playing with my hair. I hummed in content as he brushed through my hair. I could feel myself slowly start to drift off and I was almost asleep until I felt lips touch my forehead and a voice whisper.

"Sweet dreams, Jiminie."
