"Don't you dare lay a finger on her you fucker!" The same intimidating voice appeared before I could gather my thoughts and realize that I won't get hit today. But someone else did. A punch was heard and I was sure that it came from the bulky yet mysterious man.

I was softly dragged from the street and pushed behind the owner of the husky voice. I lost my phone and cane along the fall but that doesn't matter right now.

What matters is that such an aura can make me so disoriented. Nothing and no one has ever done that before and the thought that a completely unknown person managed to do that by just uttering a single word, terrified and debilitated me all at the same time.

"Grab your things and get the hell out of my sight you piece of shit! And don't you dare lay a finger on me ever again or I'll break your hands in two!" With all this panic, I found myself grabbing the powerful man's torso which was covered by a silk button-up shirt.

His chest was going up and down from the sudden yelling. Without letting him go he turned and looked at me. "Are you okay? Did he manage to hurt you?" Like I wasn't caught off guard I felt his strong grip holding my waist softly while his other gave me back my phone and cane.

At that moment I was so glad I decided to wear my glasses. Otherwise, my red as-tomato face would be fully displayed to this very intriguing stranger.

"A-ahh y-yes, thank you for your hel-" We don't have all day you know!" Another unknown voice sounded between all this mess. "Watch it if you don't want a punch too!"

 And without being able to finish my sentence the only thing I heard before getting dragged to the other part of the road was "The cream, milky color suits you..."

"Lily? Are you still there! Can you hear me? Are you okay?" Namjoon's tangible voice appeared again. He must have been terrified by all this. "Yeah...Now I am." With a deep breath, I started walking again to my destination. "What happened back there?" His worried question made an appearance. "L-let's talk about it once I arrive, alright? 

"Of course sweety." One thing I love about Namjoon is that I can have a blast with him but also talk about serious topics. He is someone that brightens my day and I can never get enough of hanging out with him. He is the person who is always up for my fun suggestions,  supports my crazy ideas, and is ready for an adventure with me. He never once complained about the late-night phone calls we had because a new idea for my sculptures came to my mind in the middle of the night and I was too excited to wait until the morning to share it with him. 

The most important asset though is his understanding and consideration. He doesn't push me into opening up and telling him my worries. He knows where to stop and that's something I appreciate.

SOMETIME LATER

"I already ordered you your red velvet some minutes ago so you won't have to wait long." Namjoon came to the entrance of the cafe and showed me our seats. "Thank you Joonie. Red velvet is my happy dessert and today I need it more than anything." I put my bag on my lap and took hold of Joonie's warm hands. "Are you ready now to tell me about earlier?" A soft squish came from my friend's hands, an encouragement to start.

"I was about to cross the road when I heard a euphonious sound. Soon after I realized it was a voice and I lost focus of where I came from and where I was going...It was the first time it had happened to me and It horrified me." Namjoon gave me another reassuring squish and praised me with kind words for telling him. 

"It was daunting, right? Had this voice a dark color?" Before I was able to answer him the mouth-watering aroma of my all-time favorite dessert filled my nostrils. "Here you go! Enjoy." The waiter said before leaving our table. "Yes, the voice had a dark color, bleak even, but the voice wasn't the thing that terrified me. What effects were created to me did."

"It made me mentally choke and left me at a loss for words that made me feel even worse. It affected and held me back by my feelings of fear and timidity. It felt like the time had stopped and everything else around me as well. As a result, I crashed into a window cleaner and fell, losing my cane and phone."

"What? You fell? Why didn't you say anything?" With fast movements Namjoon came to me and kneeled in front of me, lifting my pants just above my knees and carefully cleaning my wounds. "I didn't hurt that much, I just scratched my needs and elbows. Relax Joonie." Even though the wounds were stinging, I laughed at his panicking form. "Are you making fun of me sweety?"

"Of course not. I don't know what are you talking about." More giggles left my mouth. I just can't hold them in when he acts like that. "My sweet Joonie." "Yeah, yeah. Now I'm sweet. Anyway, start eating before I eat your red velvet." After fixing my pants, he returned to his seat and continued eating the churros he loves so much...

In the other part of the city, in the luxurious black McLaren, the pissed-off man held the steering wheel so tight causing his knuckles to turn white. He continued his way to his destination as if he didn't punch a man a while ago, breaking his nose. "What was I even thinking!" His frustration was all over the place. He couldn't recognize himself. How could he let this happen? 

"There was only one person who could take his mind off of the whole incident. The only person he trusts in this world. His best friend. He called him right away. "Jin...Where are you?" His mate realized from the first line that he was frustrated."In the office, that's where we said we'll meet. Why what happened?"

"We need to talk, it's important." His voice was stern and it meant only two things. Or he would beat the hell out of the first person who would irritate him, or he'll mercilessly fuck every standing woman. At least if he wouldn't talk with Jin soon. "Where are you?" The worried voice of his friend woke him up a little from the dark hole he was slowly putting himself into. "I just passed the NY time square."

"God...that's like ten minutes away...Are you sure you can manage?"Maybe Jin underestimated the power McLaren truly has."Make it five." The driver turned on the 720S supercar, put his foot on the brake, and pushed the start button, driving at full speed.

MEANWHILE

"To sum up, did you like the voice or not?" That was a great question even for the brunette. Did she like it? "Well.., to tell you the truth,  the voice was husky, it was low and rather rough, but attractively. It was pleasant to my ears yet it disoriented me." The dish which some minutes ago was full of the delicious dessert was now empty and that annoyed her even more.

"Okay, that's enough. Let me see your beautiful smile again and those addictive, cute dimples." Her friend knew very well how to cheer her up."And how are we going to do that?" The sad girl said with a pout."I have to tell you something that I'm sure will brighten up your day, week even." With those words, Lily lifted her face, waiting impatiently for Namjoons's news to be released. "Come on Jonnie! Please tell me."She begged and did her puppy eyes no one was able to resist.

"Alright, hold your horses, sweety. Do you remember what you asked me last week?" The little girl frowned, trying to think what exactly happened last week and why her friend was bringing that up all of a sudden."Oh yes! I asked you if we could go to museums so I can get ideas for my sculptures. Don't tell me you found time and place?" The excitement in her voice made some other customers at the near tables turn her way. Although she could feel their stares, her eagerness of knowing more took the best of her.

"So? When will we go?"  Lily asked.

"The guided tour is this Friday, four in the afternoon, "Namjoon answered yer right back.

"This Friday? Usually, these kinds of tours are being held on Saturdays so more people can have the opportunity to be present."

"Trust me, sweety, people will kill to attend it. In order to get tickets to this specific museum, you need to sell your kidney on the black market."

"Why? Which museum are you talking about?

"Get ready Lily, because this Friday, we are going to Vedere"
