It was P.E after lunch break. We were waiting for Mr.Park, our P.E teacher to come.

I was not in the mood for anything. I didn't knew what I was to do. I lost the only thing I had of Joonie. It was devastating.

"Are you fine?" Jang Mi asked.

"How can I be fine?! I don't know what to do ugh".

I buried my face into my palms trying really hard not to cry. When I looked back up I saw Namjoon looking at me with a worried face.

"Are you alright?" He asked

"Yes" I mouthed and gave a slight nod.

Just then Mr.Park entered. "Good Afternoon students. Since today is your first day, you can do or play whatever you want"

All of them started shouting with excitement and started rushing out of the classroom.

"Let's go and get some fresh air." Jang Mi said.

"I don't want to please. Let me be alone for sometime."

"Fine. I'll try to find your necklace. I will take Taehyung with me and don't worry I won't tell him anything."

"Thank you" I sighed.

I put my head on the desk facing the window. Tears rolling down my cheeks.
I felt someone sit beside me. I assumed it was Jang Mi, so I didn't bother looking.

I felt a tap on my shoulder.

"I don't want to talk right now, Jang Mi!"

"Hey". Namjoon said.

I don't know why I felt goosebumps hearing his voice.

I turned to face him. I saw that he too had his head on the desk facing me.

"I don't know what it is but you do look sad. I wanted to ask Taehyung about it but I felt like talking to you only."
He said.

"Umm. It's nothing Namjoon. I am fine."

"I know you don't know me and you can't be comfortable with me right now but if you want to talk about anything, I am a good listener." He gave me his dimpled smile.

I strangely felt good after hearing him say that and smiled at him.

"Thank you."

"Listen! Do you want to go out for a walk after school with me?"

I thought about the detention I had after school but I really wanted to be with Namjoon for some reason. So I decided to go out with him ignoring the detention Mrs.Jung had given me.
I didn't tell Namjoon about the detention though.

"Yes sure" I agreed.

------------

We went to a nearby park. It felt good somehow walking beside him, even though I didn't know him properly.

"So, how did you like the school?"
I asked.

"Yes. It's pretty good. I liked the campus and the teachers too. Plus I made friends today!" He said looking at me.

"You sure did" I smiled. Or was I blushing I couldn't say.

"How come you and Taehyung are best friends?" He asked.

"Well, before Taehyung joined school I was kind of a loner you know. I didn't have friends and I liked being alone. But when Taehyung came, I actually felt good. And you know Taehyung's nature, he really is adorable."

"Yes. He is." He chuckled.

"So I have had only two best friends till now , Jang Mi and Taehyung. And now, you too" I said.

We were walking when I saw a swing, I ran towards it like a child, all excited.
And sat down. Namjoon kept looking at me until I settled down on the swing.

"What are you looking at? Come here and give me a push!" I said.

He started swinging me.

"Faster!" I shouted with excitement.

"More?" He asked.

" Yessss!" I said all excited.

"You are cute." He said laughing.

It reminded me of Joonie and me. We used to swing together always. I got a little emotional , but composed myself.

After few minutes we stopped. We both looked at each other and started laughing because we actually behaved like kids.

"Let's go get some ice cream?" He asked.

I agreed.

We went to a ice cream shop.
"Uhh! Mint choco!" I said happily.

Namjoon looked at me questionably.
"Mint chocolate? Really?!" He asked.

"Umm yes. I love it! Why? Don't you like it?"

"Sorry but I hate it" he said making a face.

I laughed at that. He somehow reminded me of joonie. Joonie didn't like mint chocolate too, joonie had dimples too.
So I suddenly asked him, "where did you study before? I mean Taehyung and you were already friends, he studied in America before, so I am assuming you too were in America?"

"No. I studied in korea itself.
We became friends because our parents knew each other, business stuff you know".

"Ohh" I said disappointed. I mean what was I even expecting though. This wasn't my Joonie.

We took our ice creams and came out. It was getting dark.
"Let me walk you home". Namjoon said

"No, It's okay. I can go by myself. Don't bother".

Namjoon kept on requesting me that he would walk me home but I denied.

"Thank you for your time then". He said smiling.

"Thanks to you too". I said

We said bye to each other and started walking in the same direction. I looked at him, he raised his eyebrows.

"Well. My house is in this direction" . He said.

"Oh okay. Then I guess we can walk together" . I said chuckling.

Few minutes passed and we were walking in the same direction.

"Is your home really in this direction? Or are you trying to walk me home?"
I asked suspiciously.

"Oh no no. I mean my home is really in this direction" he said worried.

I laughed at him. How cute I thought.

I stopped in front of my apartment. He stopped too.

"I guess this is it ". I said.

"Yes, I guess" he said.

We both started walking towards the apartment.

"Wait. Are you gonna follow me inside?"

"Umm what? No!. I live here" he said.
