Serendipity: The Amazing Journey Of A Soulmate

25. In the night

The neighborhood is exactly how I remember it from when I first visited the dorms. Despite the state of alcohol intoxication that I was in that night, I still find familiar the small trees and the impossibly green grass surrounding the massive and luxurious buildings. Even in the dim light provided by the moon, I can easily recognize the three story house that belongs to Namjoon. The house where his heart and soul live: his brothers. I'm nervous to meet them. I don't need someone else's validation, but I'm still hoping they'll like me. They are his family, his life meaning. We're passing the building, the car taking us further into a subterranean parking lot which, I realize now, is a private one. It's understandable, since they are all public persons and wouldn't want the press constantly roaming around and spying on them. As he kills the engine, Namjoon turns his head to face me, taking my hand in his. "Ready?" he asks squeezing my hand. I nod and we both get off the car and walk towards the house. When we are in front of the entrance, I watch him taking out the keycard from his pocket to unlock the door and I suddenly have a sentiment of deja-vu. A lot has changed since the first time I've been here, even though it was not long ago. My heart has changed the most and it's still reshaping, but I like the path that I'm walking on now. I like him. Looks like Namjoon had the same feeling because he says "This brings back memories."
"That was a wild night" I admit. Even now, waves of embarrassment crash into me as I remember myself sprawled on Namjoon in the hallway at 3 am, hair disheveled and all over my face, like I was auditioning for the role of Samara from The Ring. I make a grimace and shake my head just to remove the image from my brain.
"It was our first date...sort of" he says daydreaming. "And you got wasted" I laugh and he joins me. "But let's look at the bright side," he says as he opens the door and holds it for me to get inside. "Making a fool out of myself won me a another date with you. It's like the universe worked with me to help me stay around you. So if I had to choose, I'd do it again" he shrugs triumphantly and I can't help an eye roll. "You're such a flirt" I mumble, slightly elbowing him the ribs.

My eyes fall on the opposite wall where he so sexily had me pinned that night, almost kissing me and I gulp hard at the memory. Damn him and his sultry demeanour, almost impossible to resist. Sighing loudly, I grab the folds of my dress and move it aside, revealing my both bare legs as I bend down to untie my laces. Namjoon notices my struggle and stops my descend. "I'll do it for you" he offers, getting on one knee and starting to untie my converse. I must say, the sight of him at my feet, while half of my body is naked in front of his eyes, makes my mind flood with dirty thoughts. His hand curls around my ankle as he removes my sneaker, his fingers lingering on my skin. The touch sends electricity through my body and I can't help but put a hand on his head, running my fingers through his soft hair. He looks up at me, his dark eyes an enticing infinite night ocean of stars. And just like that, his gaze leaves my face and fixes on my disrobed thighs, his eyes assessing, greedy.
"Eyes on the shoes, Kim" I scold him and he gives me a cheeky grin, moving to untie the other converse sneaker.

"This is a rare sight. You managed to bring this mountain of a man to his knees. I must say that I'm impressed." Jin sneers from behind Namjoon, tall and handsome, hands in his pockets. He is well known for his striking beautiful face, but I must admit he looks even better in person. They all do, with no exageration.
"That's how I like my men: obedient" I purr, winking at Jin which makes him laugh. I look at Namjoon who's in the middle of removing the other shoe, outrage plastered on his face and I smirk down at him. "Savage" he leers as he puts the shoe aside and rises up.
"Hello! It's good to meet you. I'm Inna Young" I say cheerfully as I walk towards Jin, outstretching an arm to greet him.
"Seokjin. Likewise, Inna" he smiles, gripping my hand and indicating to the living room. "Please make yourself at home." We both enter the open space room, Namjoon right behind us. Sensing his eyes on me the entire time, I might've swayed my hips a little harder just to tease him. A guttural sound escapes his mouth and I know I have succeeded.
