her (Kim Namjoon x Reader)

Chapter 18 - Falling

It seemed that roommates had already been decided. The couples, Namjoon and Hoseok, and you and Chaeyoung. Namjoon had complained to you that he wanted to share a room with you, but then you commented that it would ruin the whole arrangement. Besides, you didn't know how to face him if you two were alone in a room. That's a problem for when you go home in tomorrow afternoon.

The plan for tonight was dinner and a bonfire in the area Namjoon had reserve for all of you. When the three of you got to the resort, you were rushed in a wheelchair to go to the clinic on Namjoon's command. He was right beside you, of course. So much for keeping a low profile. The doctor told you to take it easy and gave you some pain medications. As you were leaving, you noticed that Namjoon was bending down to pick you up again.

"What are you doing?" you asked, your hand swatting him away.

"Stop asking that. It's obvious what I'm doing." He ignored your hands and step forward again. But you practically ran away from him.

"Don't do that here. We're in public. I can walk."

"No you can't and I don't care, I'm going to carry my girlfriend to her room." he said, hands in his pocket, giving you a glare that was a mixture of 'I don't care' and 'don't tempt me'.

Your eyes widened and your heart was pounding in your ears. "G-Girlfriend?" you asked in a loud whisper.

"Yeah, why are you surprised by that?" he asked, burrowing his eyebrows. He took a step closer to you, and stopped when he was only a few inches away.

"N-Nothing." you said, looking down at your feet.

"Ah, I get it." you heard him saying. His fingers held your chin and lifted your face up so you would look directly at him. "Y/N, will you be my girlfriend?"

"Um, I guess." you answered. Even though you two did kiss a few times, the tingling seemed to be exploding from inside of you when he said those words.

"Shut up, pabo." He pulled your lips to his. It left you breathless. "Now, you really can't walk." You slapped his arm hard and he looked quite offended by that, but the two of you ended up laughing together.

"What's going on here?" The two of you turned to see Hoseok exiting the elevator. Judging by the tone of his voice, it seemed like he had seen something. You tried to compose yourself but Namjoon wrapped his arm around your shoulder, making you flustered.

"Hey hyung. I just went with Y/N to get her ankle checked out." Namjoon answered. He seemed like a kid showing off his favorite comic book. You could tell that he really respects Hoseok and all of the idols working under him. Sometimes you forget that he's just a guy in his twenties. He has a lot on his shoulders and you were glad to be by his side to help him.

"Oh, are you alright, Y/N?" Hoseok asked, running up to you and holding onto your shoulder. Namjoon, like you, was shocked as he took a step back to examine the scene. Even though you have told him that Hoseok and you were now just friends, he still couldn't help but feel jealous.

"I'm okay. Don't worry about me." you answered, and slightly moved your shoulder so that he would take his hands off of you.

"Do you need me to carry you to your room?" he asked, half laughing.

"Um, no-"

"No, she has me, hyung. Don't worry." Namjoon answered, rejoining you by your side. You instantly felt better, more at ease.

"Is there something going on between you two?" Hoseok asked, his arms crossed.

"Yeah, we're dati-"

"Nothing! He just feels obligated to take care of me because he made me fall. That's all." you chimed in before Namjoon could finish his sentence. You flashed him an apologetic look, he seemed annoyed.

"I see. Well, I'll catch you guys later, I'm gonna meet the guys down at the arcade. You should come with me after you take Y/N to her room, Namjoon." Hoseok smiled and waved at you two before leaving. You took a step forward to enter the elevator, or at least you attempted to. You felt Namjoon hand wrapped tightly around your arm and pulled you backward. Just when you were looking up to ask him what's going on, you felt his lips on yours. His hand was off your arms and cupped your face, not letting you move at all. The kiss was impatient, hot, and sloppy. He bit your lower lip before pulling back.

"You're mine." he breathed into your ear and it sent shivers down your spine. He pulled you inside the elevator and intertwined your hand in his. It was forceful, but you didn't mind. For so long, he has been hiding how he feels around you, around most people. And right here, right now, he's showing you the real him. Jealous, vulnerable, needy. You felt grateful that he trusts you enough for this.

When you got to the fifth floor, Chaeyoung was waiting for you outside the door. You didn't notice her presence so you continued to hold Namjoon's hand. When you finally noticed, it was too late. She was smiling wide and even raised an eyebrow at you. You frantically tried to remove your hand from his, but Namjoon refused to let go.

"What's the point? She already saw us." he said aloud.

"I promise I won't tell anyone." Chaeyoung spoke up.

"Thanks."

"You can tell anyone you want." Namjoon said, you nudge him with your elbow. "Alright, I'll go meet the boys in the arcade. You girls have fun." He bent down to kiss your cheek and left. You hesitated as you turned back to Chaeyoung who was literally jumping up and down. You quickly pulled her into the room before she could burst.

"Okay, spill." she said as soon as the door was closed.

"Um, we're dating?" you answered, hoping that it would be enough.

"Obviously but like how and when and where? And by the way, why are you limping?"

"Well you know how Namjoon and I got lost. It happened because I fell and twisted my ankle. While we were taking a break from hiking, we began to talk. One thing led to another and I think we confessed to each other." you couldn't hide your smile and your body fell flat on the bed, Chaeyoung jumped on the space beside you.

"That's so romantic! I was wondering when the boss would confess to you."

"What? You knew?"

"Y/N, I might not see him everyday but I've known him for longer than you have. He pays the most attention to you. And when you were sick, he practically scooped you up and ran for his car. He seemed so out of it that time when he's normally very sharp. I feel that only you could have that effect on him. If anyone else was like that, he would probably let someone else deal with it. He's not a bad person, but he doesn't like to get involved with other people."

Hearing that made your face heat up and you hide your face in the pillow. You honestly never noticed when his tendency changes, you just thought he was growing nicer to you, which in a way is true. Your heart felt warm at the thought of him. It was terrifying how fast you were falling, but you hoped he would be there to catch you.
