Jihyun opened the door, seeing Namjoon standing in front of her, fiddling his hands.
She smiled at him, letting him in.
"Is... uh, Celine not here?"
"She went to celebrate passing finals with her college friends. She got drunk and went home with her secret boyfriend."
"Oh." He said, following her into her kitchen, glancing at her as she grabbed two mugs to fill with hot water, honey and lemon slices.
She passed one to her boyfriend.
"I thought Jungkook would be coming over with you."
"I asked him if I could have some time with you to talk... sorry if you wanted him."
"No, it's fine. I can talk to him later." Namjoon walked into her bedroom, glancing at the files littering her desk. She sat on the bed and so did he.
She took a sip of the warm liquid and looked up at her boyfriend with her bare face.
"I feel okay with you asking any questions, I know you have a lot."
He placed the cup on the bedside table.
"I just... I read a lot about sexual assault and I know the outcome can be different to anyone but you just seem... fine. I don't know how I never caught on."
"Namjoon, I'm different. I... get over things easily and quickly, I don't know if it's because I'm just pushing feelings down and one day I'll explode or just that I don't... care? I don't know. It did affect me, it still does but it's not as bad as some would say 'normal'. That's just not how I am."
He nodded.
"Is that everything? Like do you have any more secrets that might come out?"
Jihyun thought about it, making Namjoon widen his eyes.
"Barring some details during my assault or the aftermath, I think that's all." Jihyun noticed the look on Namjoon's face and smiled.
"I'm sorry that you have to deal with this."
"Huh? Why are you sorry? You shouldn't be sorry- do NOT be sorry." He said, almost scolding her. Jihyun laughed.
"Okay," She put her mug on her bedside table, scooting closer to Namjoon to put her arms over his neck. He admired her face, the small imperfections on her skin and her dark, alluring eyes. He brushed the stray hairs from her face that had fallen out of her loose, low ponytail. "This doesn't change anything between us, right?"
"No," He reassured. Kissing her lips softly. "Never, baby."
"Okay." She whispered against his lips.
"Can I stay the night? I just want to hold you in my arms, make sure no one ever hurts you again." He mumbled, hiding his head in the crook of her neck, pressing his lips against her shoulder.
"Of course, honey. I still have your clothes from the last time you stayed the night. They're in my drawer, all washed." He kissed her, smiling.
"I have a present for you." He said, digging in the pocket of his jacket to reveal a little black box. Jihyun gave him a look before opening, finding a beautiful dainty, simple rose gold ring.
There were two, one that was thinner and more delicate and a thicker one that Namjoon took and slid on his middle finger.
"They're couple rings. It's our hundred day anniversary today and even though you and I aren't the type to celebrate every hundred days. I thought this would be a nice tradition to follow." He held the thinner ring between his finger, sliding it onto her left hand's middle finger.
