LOVE YOURSELF: SECOND CHANCE FOR LOVE

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

- Hoba, what's the matter?
- I'm just checking on you, I know you are a grown adult but still, the little one is wondering too where you are?
- ah, I'll be there soon, tell her that I will be there to tuck her in soon.
- ok brother see you in a while then.
- ok see you.
He puts the phone away, looking at her while a dimple smile.
- see I told you that she must be wondering where you at.
- well we should get going I'm sorry we have to cut this short, but hopefully we can do this again soon.
- of course we can.
- but next time it'll be your turn to be on the hotspot little madame.
She smiled as she nods at him.
- well let me take you home then.
- I can call Jackson or take the subway
- I don't want to hear that I said earlier that I would take you home Haneul.
At that moment her phone rang.
- aigoo, excuse me for a second Namjoon.
Of course.
She answered...
- Haneul where are you?,I was worried.
- ah I'm a few blocks down at a cafe with a friend.
She said with a smile flashing through her lips.
- ah, are you done?, I'm right by the school I can pick you up.
- yes I am, you can come pick me up I'm going to send you my location.
- ok darling see you in shortly.
- ok I'll wait for you.
She said hanging the phone.
- see now you don't have to take me home Jackson is by the school, he will pick me up, I didn't tell him that I was going to have coffee with you.
- ah, does he worry a lot?
_ like a mother, sometimes he comes to pick me up after classes are over if he doesn't have to go to the pub so I don't have to get in the subway alone, I have told him that I can take care of myself, but he doesn't listen.
- that's typical of him.
Few minutes later Jackson pulled up at the cafe.
- well he is here Namjoon, thanks for the coffee we will see each other soon.
She was about to walk down the stairs but he stop her.
- could I have your phone number?,maybe we can keep in touch, if you would like that is?
- I would like to.
He handed her his phone, she typed her number then gave the phone back, with vow before hurrying up downstairs.
- hey Haneul, are you ok?
Jackson asked as she got in the car.
- yes I am.
- that's good, let's head home.
- I had coffee with your friend Namjoon.
- really, how this happened?
- He came for the open house, after it was over, I asked him if we could have coffee.
- well I wasn't expecting that out of you, you are really stubborn.
- well we both knew that we really didn't got to a good start that night so I wanted to start once more.
Her eyes teared up again.
- what's the matter, why are you like this all of the sudden Haneul?
- he told me the whole story about y/n, about little y/n, Jackson I had no idea that he has been through so much.
- yes he has Haneul.
- yes I feel so bad for him, it shrug my heart, for some reason want to protect him and his beautiful little girl, for some reason she has got ahold of my heart.
- mhmm, I see are you feeling things for my best friend.
- Jackson i just met the guy and hearing his story made me feel so sad.
- he will be alright, if you plan to be his friend, get close to him prepare yourself for a rollercoaster of emotions.
- more?
- yeah, but also get ready to tell him your story, because he is gonna want to know.

- I know we already agreed to that Jackson.
- great I would love to see something growing between you two.
- Jackson for heaven's sake how can you say something like that the man and I just met?
- that's all it takes young lady.

Namjoon drove to Hoseok's house, his mind was all over the place, but he wasn't sure if he should tell the boys that him and Haneul went to have some coffee, he knows how they are, he had no idea where this was headed, or if it was something, but he wasn't going to push anything.
He needed to make his mind up quickly because he was almost at Hoseok's house.
He pulled up, walking to the door someone opened before he even had the chance to knock the door.
- were you waiting on me by any chance?
Namjoon said with a grin.
- yes hyeong, is never a real gathering if we are missing you.
Taehyung said smiling back.
- thanks for making me feel welcomed, that makes me feel special, knowing that not only my little one wants my company.
- of course not hyeong you are really important to us, we get sad when you are not with us.
Namjoon threw his long limb across Taehyung's shoulders as they walked inside the house.
- hyeong is here, now we can get drunk!!
Jimin walked towards him with a beer in his hand.
- thanks Jiminie.
- are you hungry hyeong?
- very hungry Jungkook.
- well let's order chicken, is that ok with you Namjoon?
- of course hyeongnim, anything is fine.
- ok then chicken, pizza, what else?
- tteobbokki, sundae, (korean dishes)
- you heard Hoba, tteobbokki and sundae it is.
- where are the kids?
- they are in the room watching Disney movies.
- ah, well if they are entertained I won't bother the peace by going in there.
He said drinking his beer.
- so, how was the open house hyeong?
Jungkook inquired making Namjoon feel tense.
- well it was great, there was a lot of parents, you know couples I was one of the only ones alone, there was a lady whose husband is in the service right now.
- ah, how is the teacher, is she nice?
Yoongi added to the interrogations.
- she is nice, she seemed smart, she likes kids very much for what I saw the first day, so that's a plus very important in a teacher.
- is that lady, right?
- yes Hoba, surname Park, you know this already.
- ah like me?, I wonder if I know her.
- wait Park?
Areum said from besides Jungkook.
- yes.
Namjoon answered.
- as in Park Haneul?
Namjoon froze at the name, he felt like he was about to choke, why is his luck like this, is the country that small, someone knows her amongst the people he is with right now, why?
- yes, that's her name darling, do you know her?
- yes Namjoon, she is my best friend.
She said noticing how Namjoon's eyes widened and his cheeks reddened.
- really love, Haneul your friend?, he had told us about this girl, he had met her before.
Jungkook told her.
- yes that's her, really when he said her name just caught my attention, when did he meet her?
- hyeong, is that the same person from the story when you want to Jackson's pub?
Now he had no way out, he was completely exposed, he wanted to keep this to himself knowing how the boys are going to react, but he is between the sword and the wall.
- yes.
He mumbled.
- we can't here you Namjoon, besides you told us this already, well Hoseok told us this.
Seokjin scolded him.
- yes hyeong is the same person!!
He raised his voice.
- wow, this country is too small.
Jimin said scratching the back of his neck.
- too small.
Namjoon rebutted.
- did you talk to her?
- yes hyeongnim I talked to her.
- about?
- she loves little y/n, when I went to pick her up a few days back, since I was running a few minutes late she was the only kid left in the classroom, they were sitting at a table, she was reading a story to y/n, that was honestly the softest moment I have ever seen and I have seen soft moments between y/n and Areum, Chung Ha and Solar, but that one took the prize.
