"Harly." Namjoon softly knocks on my doorframe with a small smile and I return it.

"One sec." I whisper to him, pointing toward the phone that I'm on so I can end my call. "I'll let you get back to your work. I'll text you in a bit."

"Of course. Talk to you later, princess." I smile shyly as I end my call with Jaebeom.

"Okay." I focus all my attention on Namjoon and motion him to come in. "What's up?"

He holds up an open envelope with the corner of the paper sticking out as he walks closer. "Got some amazing news."

"Oh?"

"Yeah." He smiles even bigger. "It's done. My divorce is final."

"So it's really done?" I grin widely. "Wow, congratulations Namjoon! I know it's weird to say that when it's a divorce, but it's what's best for you."

"I know. This is all a bit surreal, knowing that I no longer have a wife. But I have to think about myself and my children. Thank you for being here for us, really. You really have been a life saver."

"You're welcome." I nod with a small smile gracing my lips. I stand and open my arms. "This deserves a hug."

He chuckles, pulling me into him. Because I've come to really like his hugs, I can't help but to relax in his embrace. I hear him exhale, pulling me closer. Why am I so comfortable and why does this feel right? We pull away and lock eyes. I can't tell what he's thinking from his eyes alone, but I can see how relieved he is to be divorced.

"So, what's next?" I ask as I peel myself away from him.

He sighs, but it's one of relief. "Explain this whole thing to my kids. It'll be most difficult for Jae to grasp, I know."

"You got this. Good luck, Namjoon."

"Thank you." He smiles, his dimples making an appearance. "Care to join the kids and I for dinner? We're going to that pasta place down town."

"Ravi's?"

"No, Fazoli's."

"I'm in." I turn around quickly to find and slide on the first shoes I see. He chuckles, but I'm dead set on getting my hands on that restaurant's bread sticks as I begin walking out of the room. "What are you waiting on? Let's get the kids from school and go."

I get a text come through and I smile, seeing Jaebeom's name.

JB 😩🥵:
I really wish I wasn't at the office, but next to you instead 😩

Me:
Awww I wish I was with you too 🥺 But I understand how busy you are

JB 😩🥵:
What are your plans for today?

Me:
My boss is taking his kids out for dinner and asked me to tag along

JB 😩🥵:
He sounds like an awesome guy. But let him know you are mine 😝

Me:
Lmao 🤣🤣 don't worry about that, it's nothing like that at all

JB 😩🥵:
Good. I gotta get back to work but I'll call you tonight. Have a great rest of your day and enjoy your dinner ❤

Me:
I can't wait! Don't overwork yourself 💕

I don't realize I'm leaning against the wall, biting my lip until I lock my phone and look up. Namjoon is blinking, almost like he's trying not to be seen staring at something.

"I'm sorry." I apologize. "Ready?"

"Yeah." He nods. "You can wait at my car, if you want. I have to make sure I have my wallet."

I nod, making my way through the house and outside. The whole time, I can't stop thinking about one of the last texts from Jaebeom. Every time I think about it, a smile creeps onto my face. It replays in my head over and over like a broken record. You are mine.

--

I've been seeing Jaebeom for a good month and a half, and I honestly have been so happy. Even with his busy schedule, he's always found the time to contact me. Ever since his partnership, though, I've only seen him a good handful of times. That changed today. He invited me to his home for dinner and I'm was so excited about it. Mainly because it's been a while since I've eaten a home cooked meal that wasn't my own. Namjoon can cook but to a certain extent to please the kids. Not that it's an issue, but I was finally able pig out, within reason. Jaebeom said he is a fabulous cook, and I can whole heartedly agree with him.

This is the weekend that the SpongeBob movie is actually in theaters, so Namjoon is taking the kids to see it, then they're going out of town to visit some family and spend the memorial day holiday there. So I get the whole weekend to myself and it'll be rather interesting to be in this big house by myself. I might call my friends and do something with them. It's about that time again to tell them what's happened since we last hung out and they told me to stop sleeping with Namjoon. They'll be disappointed to find out that we did it again, even though it was only once more. Until I come up with a decision, I'm going to enjoy my time with Jaebeom.

"That was so good." I praise him. "I needed that so bad."

"I couldn't wait to make that for you." He stands, grabbing the plates from the table. "I haven't cooked for anyone but myself for so long. I wanted to make sure that everything tasted good."

"It was more than good, JB. I'm taking leftovers home."

He chuckles, halting my movements when he sees me grabbing the drinking glasses to help. "Please, let me. You're my guest."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive." He nods. "You're more than welcome to wait in the living room for me if you'd like."

"Actually, I need the bathroom."

"Up the stairs, third door on the left."

I see my way through his home, it's absolutely beautiful. It's very modern, lots of grays and blacks in the home with simple paintings and pictures that make it feel like home. I have to use the bathroom, but I can't stop myself from exploring. When I reach the top of the stairs, I look to see up to 4 doors on both sides of the walls. I'm curious as to why any single individual would need a home this big. I walk down the hall, noticing the second door on the left is cracked. I will most definitely take a peek after I use the bathroom.

The bathroom itself takes my breath away. It's so spacious, with blue being the color scheme. As I sit to do my business, I can't help but think. This is how I would envision my dream home. I want to work for my dream home and I will build it from the ground up to achieve something just as beautiful as this. I finish using the bathroom, flushing and washing my hands in a hurry.

I step into the hall and peek into the next room. I gasp softly as I gaze and see a recording studio. A whole sound system and an area set up with a couple mics and headphones. "That's so cool." I whisper to myself.

"I'd say so." I jump when I hear Jaebeom whisper next to me and he bursts into laughter. "I am so sorry."

"As you should be!" I whine, holding onto my chest as I try to calm my racing heart. "You scared me half to death."

"Would you like to go inside?" He asks me, changing the subject. I nod and pushes the door open. I follow him inside, in awe. He has a whole recording studio in his home, which means he makes music. "Welcome to my little safe haven."

"You make music?"

He nods. "Write, sing, and produce."

"That's awesome. Could I maybe listen to something?" I ask, hopeful.

"Of course." He smiles. He holds a chair out for me at the sound station and I sit, thanking him. He takes a seat next to me and begins pressing multiple buttons. Music begins to play and he turns it up a bit. "This is one of the latest ones I've recorded."

The beat hits and my jaw drops when his voice begins to come through over the music. Jaebeom has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. His voice is as smooth as velvet over the RnB track, it mixes so well. I begin to softly bob my head as the song continues. I get so consumed in it that when it ends, I go 'aww'.

He chuckles, "Did you like it?"

"I loved it." I look at him with the biggest grin on my face. "JB, that was incredible. I had no idea you could sing, let alone create such a masterpiece that should be dominating the RnB charts right now."

He chuckles again, unable to hide the smile on his face. "Thank you so much. Making music is a secret passion of mine."

"Keep that passion. It's great." I lean back in the chair. "What is the name of that song?"

"I was thinking maybe Sunshine or Sunrise."

"Definitely go with Sunrise. I think it fits."

"Sunrise it is."

He plays a couple more songs for me and I can't stop vibing to any of it. This man is gifted with golden vocals. I wish he did more with his talent, but if he's fine with having this as a secret talent, then that's okay as well. I'm just happy I was able to have the opportunity to listen to what he was able to produce.

"You have such an amazing talent. Thank you for sharing that with me."

"It was my pleasure." He smiles while his music plays softly in the background. "I have a question for you, as well."

"Sure, what is it?"

He softly huffs. "I really like you. And I would love to call you mine. So, will you be my girlfriend Harlow?"

What am I going to do? Say no? Of course not. I really like Jaebeom and I'm beginning to care for him. Not to mention, I haven't thought about Namjoon in any way I shouldn't, thanks to him. I would be a fool to turn down my feelings for him.

"I'd love to."

I was wrong to think that even for a split second his smile couldn't get any bigger. He gently pulls my chair closer to him and when I'm practically face to face with him, one of his hands gently cups my jaw, slowly moving to the back of my neck. I know what's next, but he's such a gentleman that he'll ask me first. On cue, he does. "May I kiss you?"

"Yes." I nod.

He leans in to me, titling his head just slightly as he places his lips on mine. They're even softer than I had imagined. He takes the lead, slowly moving his lips against mine in the most delicate manner. I've never been kissed with so much delight, so much patience. It's a different kind of feeling that I want more of. When he pulls away, it's slowly so he's able to leave a kiss to my forehead.

"I want to take my time with you." He says. "I want you to feel comfortable with me and move at a pace that suits you. I want our relationship to be about us building together."

"And I would like nothing less." I smile shyly as he holds my hands in his.

Before I met Jaebeom, I honestly had no idea what the hell I was doing with Namjoon. It started out so simple, but it became complicated when I started getting stronger feelings for him. I knew I deserved better than what I was letting myself receive, but I still put myself in that situation where I accepted less. That won't happen again, and I know my boyfriend would never allow that.
