LOVE YOURSELF: SECOND CHANCE FOR LOVE

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

FEW DAYS LATER:

It was Friday, Namjoon was getting ready for the open house at school.
He had picked up y/n earlier, he dropped her a Hoseok's house, since they had a get together at his house on the weekend, he was going to take her.
Mejiwoo was at Hoseok's house as well with her kids, so Hoseok's insisted for Namjoon to drop her at his house, he would worry about the rest, so Namjoon could go to the open house without any worries but only one Haneul.
- well I'm ready, he said taking one last look of his outfit in the mirror.
- I hope I don't mess this up again.
He said grabbing his wallet, keys as he walks out the door.

After the open house, Haneul bid her goodbyes to the parents, her eyes landed on Namjoon, he looked so handsome, she felt like she couldn't take her eyes off him, he felt her gaze, it was making his body warm.

As everyone left Namjoon was the last one as he was walking to the door but she stopped him.
- mr. Kim?
- yes miss Park.
- do you think we could go for some coffee, if you are up to? I think we are due for a little chat after that night, don't you think?
His eyes met hers, she has beautiful doe eyes, he felt himself getting lost in them, what was happening to him?, he was having sensations that he had never experienced before, not even with y/n, when she was alive.
- I agree, I think we got off with wrong foot.
- ok, if you give me a minute so I can cut the lights off, I'll meet you outside in the parking lot.
- ok, I'll wait for you then.
He said walking out the door, she saw him leave the classroom, she leaned against the cabinet looking for support, she felt her legs giving up on her, his presence was overwhelming, her heart pounding in her chest fast like a racehorse.
She found the strength to walk again after a few minutes, cutting the lights off, she walked out the door.
He was leaning on the side of his car, his legs were crossed one over the other, arms folded against his broad chest, his honey blonde hair being mess up by the night breeze, the sight was devastating, she felt her mind beginning to drift with lots of impure thoughts about this gorgeous sexy man.
She almost slapped herself in the face to bring herself back to reality.
- hello, are you ready miss Park?
- please Haneul is fine, we are not in the school building.
- fine Haneul, are you ready?
- yes mr. Kim.
- Namjoon please.
- yes Namjoon, I'm ready.
- there is a coffee shop a few blocks down, is that ok with you?
- yes that's perfect.
- did you drive?, we can ride in my car, I could bring you back after.
- no usually I ride the subway, sometimes Jackson comes a pick me up if he doesn't have to work at the bar.
- well, how about you ride with me, after I could take you wherever you would like to?
- perfect.
- please.
He lead the way to his car opening the door for her.
- thanks.
They drove off to the cafe.
They made their way inside.
- what would like the drink Haneul?
- iced coffee is fine but there is no need for you to pay for it...
Before she could do anything he was gone to the counter.
- Namjoonah...
She followed him.
- sorry too late.
He said with a smile showing her the receipt as he moved to the next counter.
- slick.
She said with a smile.
- would you like to sit or do you want to go for a walk?
She looked down to her feet, she was wearing heels, he looked down as well realizing the kind of shoes she was wearing.
- is ok, no need to panic just let's go upstairs to the roof.
He said grabbing the two cups of coffee handing her one.
- thanks Namjoon.
They went upstairs to the roof, the view was breathtaking.

- woah this view is breathtaking.
She said in awws.
- yes it is.
- by the way Namjoon, I really meant what I said earlier in the week about little y/n, she is an amazing little girl.
- thanks, she is the product of 7 males raising her, we have done what he can as males.
- well you have exceed with flying colors, specially you as the father.
- thanks that means a lot.
- let me start from the beginning, my name is Haneul, nice to meet you.
She said with a vow.
- Kim Namjoon, that pleasure is mine.
He vowed back.
- let me begin with an apology Haneul for leaving that night, I realized too late that it was childish, I should have just said out loud what bothered me.
- well you were not the only one in the wrong, I apologize too for what I said, I should have kept my mouth shut.
- well, now that we have that clear, let's move forward.
- ok, I have a question for you if you don't mind.
- I don't mind at all shoot.
- where is y/n's mother?, I am asking because of what you said, that you and the guys have raised her.
- don't need to explain yourself I understand.
He took a deep breath with a sip of coffee.
- you don't have to tell me if is too personal.
- is not that, I just don't talk about it too much, because is something really hurtful.
- aigoo Namjoon.
She felt her heart shrug at his facial expression.
- yeah, she died at little y/n's birth.
- OMO!
She said bringing her hand to her mouth.
- yeah, she was a real trooper, she gave her life up for her daughter.
- I'm so sorry Namjoon.
- is ok, it still hurts some but not as much as before.
- aigoo.
- her mother went through a lot of abuse from her father for 3 years.

He looked into her eyes, noticing the tears threatening to pour down.
- I found her 10 years ago at Han River trying to take her life away.
- OMO Namjoon!
The tears finally poured, she tried to wipe them but they were nonstop, he grabbed a handkerchief from his pocket handing it to her.
- it took me 30 minutes of begging to convince her not to do it, she was beaten, she had bloody bruises all over her face, she had no will to live, she didn't have any friends, so I made up my mind at that moment that I was going to be her friend from that moment on.
Her mother died 3 years prior to that, after her mother's death her father began to drink, when he got home he was unrecognizably drunk so he took his frustrations on her, raped her, beat her, this went on for 3 years, my girl suffered this 3 years, that night she decided that was enough so she left the house, somehow made from Busan all the way to Seoul with only a backpack and a few won in her pocket, this happened when BTS was getting all this recognition from everyone, everywhere, so you can imagine all the risks I took but I didn't care.
At the beginning she wouldn't believe me, so I finally made up my mind, so I got my mom involved in the matter, she took her home for me, took her to the hospital that night, where they told my mom that the abuse had been so bad, her reproductive system was severely damage, so most likely she wouldn't be able to conceive.
