  "Hey Joon! I'm headed to the library!" I sit on the floor and grab my shoes from the shoe rack. Light footsteps are heard and I turn to look at who it is. "Oh, you're here. Great, I was just about to leave."

  He sits next to me and grabs a pair of shoes and starts to put them on. "You couldn't have told me a bit earlier?"

  Tucking a loose strand of my hair behind my ear, I continue to lace my high tops and pull down my pants. Huffing, I stand. "Sorry, I just occurred to me that you would've wanted to go and I was already ready to go. He looks at me after he finishes with his shoes and lifts his hand towards me. Giggling, I grab his hand helping him up and dust the back of my pants off. "It's all good. Ready?" Nodding, we grab our masks, hats, and begin to head out. 

  "Bye Jin. We'll be back in an hour or so. Love ya!" He shouts back, "Love you, be careful, and take care!" And with that we're out. We take the elevator down and move our heads to the music playing. 

  Ding! The doors open and we walk into the lobby. Near the entrance an old door man approaches us. "Hello Y/n, how is everything going? I haven't seen you all in quite a while."

  My eyes light us seeing the familiar face after so long. "Mr Hwa! We're doing great thanks for asking. We haven't really been here because of all the touring we did and we have our albums released just recently, our schedules have been pretty hectic with all that's going on. How are you, Mr haw? How are the grandchildren and... how'd your wife doing." Looking at him with sympathy, he decides to ignore it though.

  "Well, I, myself am doing quite well and so are the grandchildren. I was at my son's over the winter break and we had the Christmas miracle of seeing our granddaughter take her first few steps." My eyes widen at the news. Namjoon then adds, "Wow! Pretty soon she'll even be talking, no?" He chuckles, "Let's just hope she doesn't start growing too much too fast. Yujin is... my wife... she is fighting hard to get through her cancer. The doctors says they might have to stop her chemo because of her old age. They say she might not be able to handle it, but since the day you left she's been getting better and we received some amazing news!"

  "Really?! Well what is it?" The anticipation is killing me at this point. "She's cancer free." 

  "Omo! AHH that's fantastic! Why haven't you told me this sooner?!" At this point he's laughing at me. "Haha, Yujin said it would be better to tell you in person than over the phone." 

  "Well where is she?" He checks the time on his watch before answering. "She should still be at the library if I'm not wrong. If you go now you'll be able to catch her before we head on over to our son's house to give him the news." 

  "Mmm, we were actually about to head there right now." Namjoon

  "Ok then, well I'll see you kiddos next time. Oh and make sure you guys are eating well when on tour again, alright? Goodbye now." 

  "Bye!" Namjoon and I wave at him, put on our masks, and walk outside. 

  "Hey, can you wait for me to bring the car around? I don't want you to have to walk all the way to the garage." He offers. "That's sweet of you Joonie. That's fine, I'll wait here for you." He nods and kisses my forehead. "Remember if you see any fans or sasaengs you-" "run the other way, I got it Joon I'll be careful." He sighs, and takes off his scarf and wraps it around my neck. "Just making sure nothing happens to you. I'll try to be as quick was possible, okay?" I nod. He walks away and goes to get the car. 

  I look around for a bit before seeing a bench. I go and sit on it and admire the nearby trees for a bit. The blossom trees are blooming really quick this time around. I start to zone out for a while that I didn't even notice Namjoon honking the horn at me. 

  My head snaps up in an instant as I hear my name being called repeatedly. "Y/n!" He steps out the car and heads towards me. He grabs my face with his two hands and looks into my eyes for a bit. "Are you okay? You zoned out on me for a bit. I kept calling your name, but you didn't answer."

  "Yeah sorry. I was just looking at the view that I didn't even notice. I'm sorry, I'll remember to pay attention next time Joon." I smile at him. He relaxes after he sees me doing fine.

  He sighs, "Okay then. You ready?" He raises his eyebrows at me. "Yeah, but I think awe should stop by the cafe to get Mrs. Hwa's favorite cake. What do you think?" 

No one's POV

  He looks at her with such a gaze it'd melt thousands hearts. He thinks to himself, how am I supposed to tell her.

  He responds to her after a few seconds, "I think that's an amazing idea, flower." They get inside the car and drive off to the cafe.


  Getting to the cafe, Namjoon gets out and jogs to the other side to open the door for Y/n. "Thank you, Joon." They into the cafe arm in arm and wait for their turn to order. "Hello, what would you-, ah Y/n would you like the regular?" The cashier greets the two before recognizing a familiar face. The story behind this would be that they used to be close friends when Y/n was in University. They weren't as close to be called best friends, but they never forgot to greet each other when seeing one another in the halls or somewhere else.

  Y/n chuckles, "No, not today. I'd actually like a strawberry slice of cake to go and two strong dark roasted coffees." They patiently wait as the cashier puts in their order and opens the shelf to put the strawberry slice in a box to go. The other worker there has already started on their coffees and now.. they just wait.

  They go to the side and grab their coffees once they're ready to go. "Bye! See you again song." Y/n looks back before waving back at her. "Bye, I'll come by soon, Ara."

  They carefully put the box in the back seat and start heading to the library. The drive wasn't too long since the library is pretty close to their place.
