Chapter 16

Y/N P.O.V

After talking to Namjoon, I could tell he was still hesitant to talk but he seemed to trust me a little now. And that was something I'd be willing to take.

Everything was going smoothly until i caught him shivering. Great, what were you thinking y/n? Leave the poor hybrid alone in the cold?

  With a small smile, I spoke, "Say Namjoon, it's pretty cold out here. Would you want to stay over at my place?"

  His eyes widened and just as he was about to speak, I beat him to it. "Just..just for the night, then I promise if you want to leave you can. I'll even keep the doors unlocked."

  Now I'm the one being hesitant. All I wish is just for him to hear me out. And if not, I'll still come back here with a warm blanket, clothes, anything and everything. Which is strange all together. I mean my landlord doesn't allow pets. But he's not a pet. He's a human too. But why now am I ready to risk everything for this man?

I don't even know his favorite color...

  "It's any shade of blue."

  Looking up, in surprise, I saw Namjoon's grinning at me.

  "I can't believe I said that out loud. I'm such an idiot," I whispered to myself.

  Of course he heard that too with his wolf hearing. I could tell because he busted out laughing.

My heart beat faster than a normal, drowning out my heating. But at the same time, I could still hear his deep but soft laughter, it was like when you jump into water. The water is deep yet makes the no noise after the splash.

  Why am I feeling this way? I just met this man. And yet here I am, warming up because of him while crouching in the cold.

Either way, I had made him laugh. And I couldn't help but to join in his laughter.

"Alright, but only for a night.". He suddenly broke the laughing streak and softly spoke.

  And with that, I helped him up and covered his ears with my beanie. He refused at first but I didn't mind.

  There wasn't a whole lot of people outside at this time of day; so thankfully we didn't have to worry about his tail.

  When we got back to my small apartment, I lead him over to the couch. Making sure he was comfortable I made use of a few thick blankets I had in my storage closet.

"Here you are, I'm sure these will warm you up in no time.", handing him them, I smiled.

Namjoon reflected it back and continued to get comfortable.

Looking around the place, I grew insecure about it. It wasn't on the messy side but more on the bare side. I only have the basic essentials, a few pieces of furniture, rugs, table and whatever else I need. Besides I never expected to have anyone over.

  "It's not much I know, and I don't have much but I hope this place will do for the night", I couldn't even look at him.

  He suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled me near him. Looking at him in a bit of shock, I stood there.

  "It's better than what I've had before.", he breathed out, already falling into a peaceful slumber.

With a new uplifted mood, I placed his hand back to his own and let him sleep. Walking to the kitchen, I began to prepare dinner. Which is........

Spaghetti!
Of course with a small side salad.

Yup, low budget food again. But hey! Spaghetti is actually pretty good.
 

  Humming softly to myself, I go ahead and cook the meat then began to boil the noodles.

   When I'm done, I grab two smaller plates and place some of the salad onto them. Then I add the freshly cooked spaghetti onto it.

   Putting the plates down with some water and silverware, dinner is served. Now the only thing left to do is wake up Namjoon.

  Which will be difficult for my heart since he looks so peaceful. I'm not even sure how many times he's gotten to sleep like this, poor wolf.

   Going back to the wolf, I gently shake his shoulder. "Namjoon...namjoon...wake up, it's time to eat."

  Luckily the moment I mentioned food, his cute, black, furry ears had perked up. Opening his eyes, he yawned. Which lead to a mischievous smile, "I heard food."

   Laughing, I nodded. "Come on silly."

  He followed me to the table still holding onto one of the blankets. Surprisingly, we didn't chat while eating. It was more of a comfortable silence. The only thing I mentioned to him was for him to eat slowly. To which he..took into consideration.

   Offering seconds to him, he shook his head. "Is it okay if I go back to sleep?"

   Looking at his serious face, I smiled. Jeez this is bad for my reputation. "No need to ask."

   He responded with a nod and proceeded to get up and go back to the couch. I would've offered my bed but I don't want to make him uncomfortable. I mean we are still strangers.

  While he slept, I put away all the leftover food and washed the dishes. Stretching, I couldn't help but let out a yawn. I turned the corner to check on Namjoon. How can this man have make me smile more than I ever have in my life? Why does he make my heart feel like this?

  And why am I so close?

  Realizing I had gotten physically closer to him, I blushed turning embarrassed. From his beautiful eyelashes to his perfect nose, I got a good look of all of it. And there is no denying he is handsome.

  Pulling away before I sound any more like a creep, I made sure the door was unlocked. I want to keep my word to him. Even if him leaving will sadden me, he still has a right to leave.

   And with those last few confusing thoughts, I headed to bed to once again escape this world.
