Love Rain | Namjoon [Short Story] | Completed

First

*******
Don't think of anything
Don't say anything, not even a word
Just give me a smile

I still can't believe it
All of this seems like a dream
Don't try to disappear

Is it true is it true
You you
You're so beautiful, that I'm scared

Will you stay by my side
Will you promise me

Will you stop time
If this moment passes
As though it hadn't happened
I'm scared scared scared I'll lose you

- Butterfly

I had to work overtime, as my colleague had an emergency and she went out, asking me to cover for her. I regretted my decision. It was almost closing time for the grocery store and I was still stuck at my shop. This way I can't see him.

Will he wait for me? Noo.. Right? I wish he would wait

As soon as my shift ended which was at 10:30 pm, I hurried towards the store through the dark streets.

It was closed. With a sigh and disappointment I made my way towards my house but stopped when I heard a voice. A male voice.

"Where do you think you are going miss?", he threatened with smirk dripping in his voice, coming close to me.

Without turning around, I fastened my pace. The steps behind me fastened too. I started running but soon hit a hard yet spongy surface. I ran my hands over it, trying to guess that thing.

Familiar cologne. Wall can't have a cologne, right..?

I rubbed my forehead and looked up with glistening eyes. The one for whom I came running to the store, the one who has been on my mind 24/7, the one I yearned to see everyday, was standing in front of me.

His expression softened.

Without thinking, I hugged him tightly as if he would disappear if I let go. I lightly sobbed into his chest, feeling safe in his arms, inhaling his cologne.

The work, disappointment of not being in time at the store, being chased by some pervert, got to me. I let it all out.

He caressed my hair with one hand and my back with the other. We stayed like that for a few minutes.

"What were you doing here this late?", he sternly asked handing me a tissue.

Was he angry? It couldn't be, right? Unless he cares for me

"I- I was- I wanted to get some stuff", I stuttered nervously to hide the real reason. I backed away sniffling and took the tissue.

He stopped in his tracks and cocked a brow, "Something so urgent that you ran to this store? At this time? When all other grocery stores are still open?", he scoffed.

"This is a special one", I mumbled looking away.

He chuckled amused, "Why don't you just admit you came running to see me? It won't hurt ya know", and started walking, grabbing my not-so-heavy-yet-heavy bag-like-handbag.

No way! No- no way he knows about my feelings. I have always hidden them well

"No- No! That's-", I stuttered again.
