Chapter Twenty Five

Third Person's POV


"I'll see you in lunch, I'll go first."


Jimin is debating if he should go meet them or not. He sighed and shook his head. He couldn't decide. Maybe it's better to not show up.


__


Jimin is walking towards the gate but stopped when he step on a stone. He took a step back and looked down, he stared at it for a moment and without so much thought he kicked it with force, putting all of his frustration on the stone.


"Ugh,!"


Jimin flinches at the sound, he looked up. Namjoon touches his back and turned to face the person who hit him. Namjoon's expression instantly changes.


"What do you think you are doing?" The taller male asked. Jimin stayed rooted in his place, eyes glued on Namjoon. The other male raised a brow.


"After giving you an offer, this is how you repay me?" Jimin frowned, processing what Namjoon had said. Offer? When? He curiously asked himself.


"Give you a ride whenever you need." Jimin's eyes widened. "I see you remember now." Namjoon pointed boastful.


That's not exactly what he said, Jimin didn't know that's what he meant by his text. His text... Jimin didn't expect it was him, even forgot about it until Namjoon mentioned it.


"Go ahead and type something, I'm curious what you are thinking right now." Jimin obliged. He took out his phone and start typing.


Namjoon is just staring, observing him. Namjoon's lips twitch upward but as soon as Jimin lifted his head it was gone. Jimin move a step forward making Namjoon nervous a little, only stopping when they are few inches apart.


"I don't remember agreeing."


Namjoon looked defeated, smirk crept into the younger's face. Jimin gave him a hand sign that he's off to go, when he's positive that Namjoon has nothing left to say he walk past him, satisfied.


Namjoon quickly turn his head to look at him and swiftly move towards the younger, it wasn't hard for him to reach him considering he has long legs compare to Jimin's short ones. Namjoon smirk and grab the younger's wrist. He heard Jimin let out a small gasp and thought it was cute.


Jimin turned to look at him with his mouth hanging open. Cute, he thought.


"It's the thought that counts." Namjoon said tone serious though deep down inside he wants to laugh at his silliness, he's embarrassing himself. Even him, couldn't believe he's actually doing this for Jimin's attention.


"wdyw?"


Namjoon was out of it, Jimin wasn't having it and he shoves his phone on Namjoon's face. The latter got startled and leaned backward. He read Jimin's message.


"W.D.Y.W? What about these letters?" Namjoon asked, Jimin sighed.


"Why? Why?" Namjoon asked curiously, it looks like the younger is disappointed of him and he desperately want to know why!


"What do you want?"


"Oh," Namjoon says tone amaze, "That's what you meant by that?" Namjoon asked, unconsciously smiling at that.


"If that's the case, then, Y." Jimin blinked his eyes, he can't believe this giant man! Instead of answering he chose to ask Jimin. The smaller male heard he's intelligent, he's not sure if that was even true— "You." Namjoon continued, Jimin's eyes widened and felt his heart flutter.


"I can catch up easily, don't be surprise." Namjoon said boastful. Jimin pushed Namjoon using his other hand.


"Did you really push me? Or it was just a tap?" Namjoon asked with an insulting tone that made the smaller boil in anger hence Namjoon collided with his fist.


Namjoon stumble backward and let go of the younger's hand. He touches his cheek as he felt it becoming numb in as much pain. He glared at Jimin and saw him squatting, holding his own hand, in awfully pain.


Namjoon's irritation long forgotten, now holding not to laugh, he was biting his bottom lip while looking at Jimin. The younger lifted his head and look up at the taller male, Namjoon immediately pulled a straightface. They both locked eyes and Namjoon wanted to burst out laughing but he was holding back, can't afford to get hit again.


Jimin reached out his arm to Namjoon. The older stared down at his fisted hand. Namjoon thought Jimin wants a handshake for a second.


"Blow." The younger mouthed with teary eyes before turning his head away.


As Namjoon realizes what he meant by that, he pause for a moment, did he hear it right? Namjoon can't believe it? Wasn't the younger male the one who caused it himself? Why does it seem to be his fault? Not only that, he's angry at Namjoon yet he was asking him to blow his reddened fist probably to lessen the pain?


He's incredible. He's beyond amazing. Namjoon wants to clap for Jimin. Bravo!


He stared at the smaller and open his mouth to complain but felt pity for him. Namjoon sigh and crouched down. He held Jimin's hand and brought it towards his lips. Namjoon starts blowing.


The younger slowly look at the older. Namjoon is blowing his hand softly and that makes him feel guilty for punching him. He shifted his gaze to his cheek, it was bloody red yet Jimin still stand that Namjoon deserved it. Namjoon notices and stared back at the younger.


"Better?" Namjoon asked concerned. Jimin felt shy all of a sudden and felt his cheeks turning red, he yank his hand away and tore his gaze away from him, he was uneasy, doing silly movements as he stood up. Jimin turned on his heels but stopped.


He faced Namjoon, gave him a 90 degrees bow before he ran off while Namjoon still looking at him, full of amusement and soon after he laughed loudly.


"Hey! Namjoon-hyung!" Namjoon heard him from behind. Namjoon stood up and turn to look at Taehyung.


He's with his cousin. They are looking at him smiling. Namjoon smiled back at them. They stopped and stared at him curiously.


"What happened to your cheek?" Jungkook asked. Namjoon smiled.


"What are you smiling for?" Taehyung asked.


"Going home?" Namjoon asked, avoiding their questions.


"We are going to hangout and drink." Taehyung answered.


"Too early."


"...and so what?" He retorts back. Namjoon smiled again and shook his head.


"You're acting strange right now." Jungkook said suspicious of how strange Namjoon was acting.


"If I am? That doesn't concern the both of you." Namjoon said childishly eyeing the two before turning his back on them.


"Something is off about him."


"No idea."


Namjoon didn't wait for them and headed towards the parking lot. Namjoon opened the car door and step inside. He was about to start the engine but he remembers Jimin. Namjoon closed his eyes and leaned backward, Namjoon couldn't hold back but smile.



3 years ago. . .



"Ah, seriously," Namjoon gritted out as he try to avoid Taehyung.


"Why does he have to be this annoying?" He says scatching his head in annoyance.


"Hyung! Come on! Join us!"


Namjoon let out a frustrating sigh and walked rapidly. Taehyung wants them to join the basketball team, he is not interested at all, he doesn't like sports, studying is easier.


He observed it wasn't noisy anymore, he laugh, his dimple showing, he look behind him and when he confirmed Taehyung wasn't there, he laugh loudly.


He suddenly stopped laughing as he realizes that there are no other people around and it was too quite. He eyed everything around him, sighing in relief when he noticed that he was in the University's garden.


He was in front of the entrance, it's a good thing that his feet lead him to this place by accident because he loves plants. Namjoon step inside, eyeing every plants, flowers he passes by. Namjoon notices he's not alone.


Namjoon halted abruptly as his eyes landed on the student, sitting and leaning against the tree. His eyes were closed and were listening to a music using his headphone, his bangs were falling off his eyes, almost covering it, his eyes stared down at his lips, he had his mouth slightly opened.


Namjoon smiled, astonished by the sight.


Namjoon took a step closer, every step need to be careful, afraid of waking the other male. Namjoon sat down, facing the student, took out his phone, and captured this beauty.


The said student slowly open his eyes, Namjoon reacted impulsively and threw his phone, large eyes staring at the student intently.


They both shared a staring battle, the student seemed out of it, as if he didn't see anything when Namjoon was right in front of him. Namjoon frowned, the student then closed his eyes. Namjoon was puzzled, wondering, questioning himself if he saw him or not.


Namjoon brush the thought away but his expression drop, he shouldn't stay any longer afraid that the second time he open his eyes he'll scare him. Namjoon look around to find his phone.


He saw it, slightly far from where he was, he can't believe he actually threw it that far.


Namjoon was about to head out but paused, he look back at the student and smiled.


It was long ago when he first met him but this is the first time Jimin stood few inch away from him, it was too close for Namjoon's heart, it was also the longest interaction they had because he finally have the courage to do the thing he hesitated for the past years.


Namjoon's smile fell down, tightening his hold against the steering wheel, face hardened.


Thanks to Jungkook, Namjoon decided to step up his game.
