"I can't do it, Hoseok ah, I'M GOING TO DIE"
Namjoon lamented burying his head in his pillow.
Hoseok sighed. He dragged his friend up by his shoulders.
"Namjoon ah"
Namjoon looked at him. Looking as if the UN decided to override all their peace treaties and killed his pacifist heart.
Hoseok flicked him in the forehead.
"It's just a date" he shrugged. " Act natural, it'll be fine."
Namjoon recoiled. "just a - no
Hoseok ah you don't understand. I've literally worked upto this point for TWO MONTHS
I can't blow this
" Namjoon"
But Namjoon was slowly working into his head into a spiral of blithering nonsense.
"-and he's just so perfect. Like OK admittedly his jokes aren't all funny but he's just a nice guy you know but WHAT AM I GONNA DO HUH?"
"Namjoon ah" Hoseok tried again.
Namjoon had jumped out of the bed in a panic frenzy, pacing the room.
"-I just planned upto the date but where are we gonna go? Shopping? No I'd break something before we even try it on. The movies? What if I drop the pop corn and. What if the butter gets on his shirt or something?The amusement park?What if I throw him off a ride by accident?! " he was shaking Hoseok who looked concerned but also slightly amused.
Namjoon noticed the expression.
" ARE YOU ENJOYING THIS?! "
Hoseok coughed. "Look, Namjoon why don't you take a breath while I find you something nice to wear hmm-" But no, Namjoon shielded himself from his friend with a koya plushie.
"I'M POURING MY HEART OUT HERE"
"Namjoon ah" Hoseok tried to get him to sit down with no avail.
"Hoseok I really really like him I don't know what state I'd be in if this doesn't go right, you know,I want to like wow him with a really fun time" He waved his hands around to express the exact sense of what he wanted to say.
Hoseok puffed his cheeks in an attempt to remain serious.
"DON'T LAUGH AT MY INSECURITIES"
Namjoon beat him with a plushie.
"I was there for you. YOU KNOW. When you got together with yoongi hyung. Why can't you help me and save me from embarrassing myself now?!"
"I was actually trying, very hard." Hoseok replied with a defeated sigh when the plushie battery stopped.
Namjoon squinted, confused "What?"
Hoseok smirked, "To save you from embarrassing yourself"
The was a pause.
He turned Namjoon's face towards the doorway.
Oh shitake
"Hey, I decided to come around and pick you up..."Jin started. Smiling at the memory of panicked Namjoon rampaging the room .
Namjoon wanted to cry.
"-The door was open so I let myself in and um I just followed the voices here...." He trailed off sheepishly.
" I-" Namjoon started.
Should he apologise?
Run away?
Jump out of the window and live his life as a hermit in the hills away from society and this very handsome man?
" You don't.have to apologise you know " Jin laughed, reading his mind. "I'm quite flattered actually"
He smiled at Namjoon who felt his heart beat again after a long pause.
"Why don't you get dressed? I'll wait downstairs"
Jin started to step out and Namjoon thought it was for the best. Who knows how else he'd embarrass himself?.
"Oh and by the way," Jin turned back.
"You know I was hoping that butter won't be the reason I'd lose my shirt..." Jin winked,
"But I can take that" He blew a kiss and walked off.
Like it was the most natural thing in the world.
Namjoon stared ,his mind not processing what was just happening. Hoseok hooted in the background and was promptly hit square in the face with the plushie.
