One Shot

You splash water on your soapy face, blindly reaching for a towel to use when you finished.

But then you feel someone drape one over your shoulder.

You could still feel the sudsy foam on your face but you mumble a quick thanks and continue washing the rest of it off.

...

Wait...

You freeze with your eyes still shut, realizing that first of all, you lived alone and secondly, there shouldn't be someone inside your house.

In a moment of panic, your eyes snap open and you abruptly turn around. A bad idea however, when you feel the sting of the soap burning your eyes.

"Holy fucking shit!" You scream in pain, rubbing your sore eyes with your palms. You trip over your foot when you blindly move and immediately grab onto whatever you could to break your fall.

That just so happened to be the man in your bathroom.

You hear a loud 'oof' as you land on top of the person, cushioning your fall. It seemed like he took the full force of the descent because you hear him groan in pain.

Now that the stinging had subsided a little bit, you cautiously open your eyes and see an unamused Namjoon lying below you.

A part of you was relieved that it wasn't some creep but your nose still flares angrily as you slap his chest. "Joon! What the fuck! You can't just watch me in my bathroom like a psycho without saying something. You scared the hell out of me..." You whine and see him smirk.

"Damn you should've seen your face though!! You looked like you were about to piss yourself! I can't believe you fell either. Who even does that?" he says in between his laughs.

"...did he really just ask me that..." you think ironically because you were literally looking at the 'God of Destruction' himself.

"...people wouldn't think I was bad if they saw you, clumsy" he says amusedly and you roll your eyes.

"You know Joonie, I could just as easily take back the spare key you stole from me" you casually say while getting up and he scowls.

"I didn't steal them, I'm just borrowing them...and you would never" he mutters, getting up as well and you raise your brows challengingly, even though he was right.

"Try me Mon. Try me" you say, and smile smugly when he just huffs and looks away in defeat. The both of you exit the bathroom and you jump on your bed, checking your phone. It was almost 9 am and you frown.

"Wait, why are you even here? Don't you have a date with your girlfriend in like an hour?" You ask confusedly and he sighs while spreading his arms out and falling backwards onto your bed.

"She called earlier and told me that one of her coworkers was sick so she needs to cover his shift later around noon" he explains with a tinge of sadness in his voice and your frown deepens.

"Damn...this the third time she blew you off on a date, yeah?" You ask and he shakes his head despondently.

"Fourth time... I'm not sure what to do Y/N...she's always busy and I'm not one to complain because I know how tiring it could be too but the thing that bothers me is that I always have to be the one to contact her first or tell her I miss her and shit like that...I just feel likes she's slowly slipping through my fingers...it's pathetic isn't it?" he says sadly with a scoff and you furrow your brows.

"Joon, it's fine to feel that way you know? You're not a fucking robot or some shit like that. You have feelings too and honestly you're one of the most caring and passionate man I have the pleasure of calling my best friend. I'm sure she feels equally as lucky. Yes, she's been extremely busy lately and maybe you two have been drifting apart because of that, but it's not too late to do something special for her so that she knows just how much she means to you right?" You ask and a brilliant idea pops up.

He slowly nods and sits up, feeling inspired by your words and finally he smiles. You coo loudly and pinch his tummy. "Awww finally! I got my Monnie to to turn that frown upside down! Look at those sexy af dimples" you tease goofily and he chuckles.

"You're such a dork!" He says with an amused shake of his head and you grin widely.

"Yeah but you love it..." you smugly retort, flipping your hair back confidently.
He shoots you a doubtful look so you continue "...because if you don't, I can always bother Chim until he agrees to be my new best friend" you offer and Joon quickly shoots you a fake smile.

"I definitely love it. Why on earth would you think otherwise?" He says sarcastically and you nod, ignoring his tone.

"...and you better not Y/N. God only knows how much more he'd fall in love with you. If I remember correctly, the last time you gave him a hug he couldn't look you in the eye almost for the rest of day. I doubt he'll survive through any more than that." he adds on with a teasing grin. 

You blush at his jibe. "Shut up Joon...you know that's not true..." you bite back and he just shrugs not believing your half hearted attempt of denial, but thankfully, lets it drop.

You quickly change the topic. "Okay! So since it's still early, here's what we're going to do..." you start while pulling out a pen and paper.

"You got the flowers right?" You ask, pushing your turn signal on and then making a right. He nods from the passenger side as he looked out the window distractedly.

"Candles?" You continue and again he nods without turning, making you furrow your brows.

"Condoms?" You add on casually, pulling up to the side of the road to park.

He nods once more but after a couple of seconds he chokes on the air, only now processing your words.

You give him a look of dismay. "You're not paying attention Joon" and he sighs guiltily.

"Sorry Clumsy...I'm just thinking" he mumbles and you raise your brows as you switch off the engine.

"About?" You press and he gives you an unsure look.

"What if this doesn't work..." he asks doubtfully and you scowl.

"Then she'd be the second dumbest person I know...Tae being the first..." you mumble lightheartedly and he lets out a weak laugh.

Sighing, you look at him seriously. "Joon, listen. We're going to set up her apartment lavishly, cook her the best fucking dinner she'll ever eat and then you're going to have a great night doing everything I don't want to imagine right this second. So man the fuck up and be the happy Joon I know okay?" You demand and he ruffles your hair.

"What would I do without you?" He says earnestly, giving you a small peck on your cheek.

You smile softly and elbow him. "...probably mope around all day and write songs as usual" you respond and he opens his mouth to deny it but promptly shuts it when he realizes you were right.

The two of you get out the car and grab all the things, then head up to her floor.
———————————————
Namjoon peers around the door of her apartment searching for something and you as you balance the bags in your arms, you give him a look. He 'Ah's' in relief and holds up a key that was under one of the pots.

"Wait...you don't have one of your own?" You ask incredulously and he shrugs. "She usually comes over my place so I didn't think I needed it. The only time I come over is when I know she's in" he explains and you hum understandingly.

"Guess this will really be a surprise then" you say, more to yourself but he nods and unlocks the door.

You look around, entering first and whistling at the size of her place.

"Daaamn Joon. You should come here more often..." you mumble in awe and he laughs but his phone rings. He tells you to go ahead first and put everything in the kitchen before stepping out to take the call.

It takes you a couple of trips but you managed to get everything in. Joon was still outside so you decided to admire the interior in the meantime.

You walk to the corridor, admiring the art around it and hum appreciatively at its quality. All of a sudden you stumble slightly on something on the floor and you pick it up, wondering what the fabric was doing so out of place.

You hold it up in front of your face and when it becomes glaringly obvious that you were holding onto a bra you drop it as if it burnt you.

With wide eyes you look ahead and see a trail of other various pieces of clothing.

Your heart starts beating faster in trepidation but feels as if it stopped almost immediately when you see a man's shirt tossed near the shut door.

"God...please...no..." you think desperately but you tear up when you were unable to come up with another explanation for what you saw.

"Shit! Joon! If he sees this..." You continue with a gasp and turn, but it was too late. He was standing a few feet away with a look of devastation on his face.

"J-Joon...wait..." you stutter but he ignores it and pushes past you, heading towards the door.

He slams it open and grits his teeth at the compromising position he found his girlfriend in together with another man.

You hear a loud scream of panic and the rustling of fabric. Namjoon continues staring disappointedly but says nothing as he quickly turned around. He makes eye  contact with you briefly and you see the unshed tears in his eyes but he looks away and storms straight out the front door without looking back.

You stood there frozen by how unexpected the day quickly changed for the worse.

This was supposed be his way of rekindling their relationship but instead it was doused out by her deceitful lies.

You turn backwards when you hear her speak. "Namjoon! Wait! Please!!" She says desperately, stepping out into the corridor.

You stare disappointedly at the woman who had messily thrown on the first thing she saw and was now in tears.

She stops in shock when she sees you. "Y/N...w-why are y-y-you here?" She asks stumbling over her words.

You shoot her an icy look but answer her honestly. "We came over to set up a surprise for you while you were 'busy' at work" you say bitingly and she flinches as if the words stabbed her.

You slowly walk up to her. "I hope you realize what your unfaithfulness cost you..." you say coldly, thinking about how badly Joon would be taking this.

Her face falls even more. "I-I didn't...I mean. I just...I just felt like we weren't going anywhere and..." she mumbles, giving you a pathetic excuse.

You scoff as the tears build up in your eyes. "That's funny because Joon was thinking the exact same thing except he had another way of solving that problem. Looks like you took the cowardly way out..." you exclaim, hoping she understood the gravity of how far Namjoon was willing to go for her.

She clenches her chest in pain and more tears stream down her face but you couldn't bring out an ounce of pity for her.

"I didn't mean to hurt him..." she whispers quietly and you frown disapprovingly

"No...you didn't hurt him, you only just broke his heart..." you reply with a bitter laugh and with those parting words you walk off, missing how she fell despairingly on her knees.
———————————————
You curse loudly. "Dammit Joon...where the hell are you?..." you think, biting your lips in frustration when you look around his empty room.

He wasn't at home, not at your place either and you called all the boys but they hadn't heard from him as well.

You couldn't think of anywhere he could be so you rummage around his room in hopes that you could find something that would point you in the right direction.

Your heart pangs when you see the framed picture of the two smiling happily and you quickly face it down.

His bed was neatly made and you smile wryly at all the Ryan dolls lying around in different spots as you headed towards the only messy area in his room: the desk.

You see stacks of paper filled with various writings from poetry to lyrics and you pick up the most recent one out of the bunch.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The cherry blossoms flutter in the wind just how my heart used to when I was with you

The smile that would reach your eyes, now barely graces your lips

The petals drop; such a delicate creation of nature

My heart drops; another sign that spring was coming to an end

And it falls, almost forebodingly

The instant it touches the ground it crumples and deep down I knew, but smile anyways...

...that our spring was coming to an end.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You bite back a sob when you finish, getting a glimpse of how just much Joon was keeping to himself. He must have known something was wrong but still had hopes that he could make it work.

The poem was written two days ago and then it hits you.

You knew where he was.
———————————————
Hesitatingly, you approach the figure lying under the cherry blossom tree with his eyes shut peacefully.

You knew better though; under that facade was a man who locked away his feelings and only when he had some paper and a pen, did he finally allow it to come out.

Slowly you take a seat beside him and feel his body tense but his expression remained the same.

You say nothing but draw him into a hug and finally he draws in a shaky breath.

No words had needed to be said while you held him close.

He sobbed for his pain, his love, and his spring. And when he was finished, the two of you talked until the night crept up and the stars shone brightly.

He may be broken now, but you knew that he would get through this.

Just like every flower, he would eventually bloom again; stronger and more beautiful than ever.

That was something you strongly believed in.

Hey loves!

This imagine is quite long so I apologize for that!

I hope that this was okay and I'm sorry it is a bit depressing. I'm exploring the boundaries of friendship for this weeks theme and I wanted to portray the bonds you both share.

I also admire Joon's poetic nature so I had to include that as well 😅

Anyways I hope you enjoyed!
