"definitely a great choice, joonie! having ramen on a cold day."

"joonie, now?" you blushed, the moment he repeated your word.

"if that is okay with you, namjoon?"

"yeah, 100-percent okay!" he assured you. both of you continued to slurp on the ramen noodles. as the night gets colder, both of you indulged on a bottle of soju, which namjoon had ordered.

having to converse with namjoon, was one of the best decision you made on the day. he was friendly, comfortable, and most of all you felt safe with him, though it was only a few hours, knowing him.

a bottle after another, your felt body started to warm up, and cheeks started to get red.

you felt the connection between both of you. well, a part of you were sure of that, but a little part of you, thought, that it came from the alcohol that you consumed from the past five bottles together.

"i think you should stop now." he said, pulling the glass off from your hand, as you were about to take another shot of soju.

"no!" you voice raised on a higher pitch. pulling the glass back from his hand. "give me a break, it's been 8 months since my last shot!" you rolled you eyes at him, and gulped in the alcohol in one shot.

"tell me, why did you look so sad at the taxi stand?" you asked while you mind is still sane. you heard yourself slurring along the sentences, but you wouldn't care because you still remember the way his eyes hold his emotions throughout the evening, and the way his shoulders slumped.

he sighed at your question, before looking straight into your eyes. "i know... i am used to it, being yelled in the office.. but.." you cut him off abruptly.

"but?" you were eager to know his answer. picking up the half filled soju bottle, you poured into the glass, and drank it, one full shot.

"but, it kind off lowers my level of confidence."

"i don't think that was the main problem. i seriously think that, there is another thing that has been bugging you, all these time. maybe months before or days before." you blinked, trying to focus your sight solely on namjoon. you lifted your hands up, trying to cup his face, as he appeared double in front of you.
