The arena was packed. Screaming fans were everywhere. They took their positions, and they were lifted to the stage. The screams augmented as soon as they stepped on stage. They started to walk the runaway and he spotted her. He spotted her and her mop of curly hair. Namjoon walked to her side and decided to stand in front of her. She looked like she was enjoying her time, but at the same time, she was watching over her friend. He kneeled and started to sing directly to her. She smiled a little. That made Namjoon smile. He stood up and walked to the other side. After a couple of songs, his solo was up. He decided to take a different direction. He started to sing and walked to the runaway. He sat right in front of her. He decided to keep singing while looking at her. He wanted to make it a night she will never forget. She smiled throughout the whole presentation. He stood up and went to the other side and ended the song. The rest of the concert went by smoothly.

"Oh my gosh." Jungkook said as they walked to the dressing room. "Did you guys saw how many people were there?" He asked excited. Even after years of sold-out arenas, somehow, the maknae was always excited to see so many fans in the arenas. Jungkook wrapped an arm around Taehyung.

"The girl with curly hair was there in the front." Hobi said to Jimin.

"I saw her." Jimin said happy. This made Namjoon a little mad, but he didn't show it.

"Hyung." Namjoon heard Taehyung say. He turned his gaze to him. "Are you okay?" Taehyung asked him.

"Huh?" Namjoon asked, confused. "I'm just a little tired." Namjoon said, smiling at him. Taehyung nodded, not fully believing him but dropping the subject. They all went their separate ways when they got to the dressing rooms. Namjoon got his stuff ready and changed, deciding to shower when he was back at the dorm in the comfort of his room.

"Hyung, you're not going to the after party?" Jimin asked Namjoon as he was exiting the dressing rooms and walking to his car. Namjoon turned to him.

"Nah, I'm tired. But you guys have fun." Namjoon said. "Do not get into any trouble." He said in a stern voice. Jimin smiled.

"Never." Jimin said. Namjoon walked to his car and told the driver to take him to the dorm. The driver nodded. He got the book she got him out of the bag he had. He turned the little light above his head in the car on. He scrolled to the last page and reread the last quote of the book.

"The Holy Grail 'neath ancient Roslin waits. The blade and chalice guarding o'er Her gates. Adorned in masters' loving art, She lies. She rests at last beneath the starry skies."

He reread the quote over and over again. It became his favorite quote from the book. He smiled to himself. He wondered if she understood the reference back at the fan signing. The driver stopped at a red light. Namjoon lifted his gaze. He saw her. Standing at the corner, her arm linked with her friend. She was smiling. They crossed the street and entered a restaurant. He couldn't help the way he acted at the concert. She had this pull, and he wanted to let himself be pulled. He was helpless against her. He felt he got to know her a bit better through their letters and book suggestions. He would be lying to himself, if those little interactions, had not made him like her a bit more. The light changed and the driver kept driving, arriving to the dorm a couple of minutes later. He got out and went to his room, showering quickly. He got his bag, and got the book out. He walked to his desk and got his notebook out.

Dear you,

I can see why this book is your favorite and why is so precious to you. I like the historic scene it sets. As well as the religious aspect of it. I like how the author portrays this whole family background and direct bloodline of Jesus descendants and how Robert is the one taking care of the heir. This was also my favorite quote of the book:
