You smile as you both talk and his arm wings around your shoulders. His touch was electrifying to you. It was something that brought you comfort and peace. Something that you rarely felt when you were around people.
A smile spreads across your face as his smile was just as contagious as his laughs. You look into his eyes and then words escape your lips. "You know I love you, right?"
Then his smile died instantly. He cocks an eyebrow at you confused. "What?" He asks not believing his ears.
You nod. "I love you....more than a friend." You say confidently. Immediately Namjoon lets go of you as he steps away from you.
"Well guess what" He say. "I don't."

You jolt awake from your bed. A tear streamed down your eye as your heart pumped rapidly in your chest. He said no. You were in shear panic for a few moments. Only then you realized it had only been a dream.
You look around the room. Twelve midnight. You shake you head. Nope. Definitely not going back to bed. Not again.
You push the covers off. It was late at night. Namjoon had most likely been asleep in the room next door. You tiptoe past his room to head to the outside balcony with a drink in hand.
You put yourself in the seat and lay your head down. You didn't feel well now. You felt sick to the stomach. You've been rejected a lot in your life. Whether it be through your multiple crushes or exes. This time it was different. The fear was losing someone you love so much. So dearly. Namjoon, you fell hard.
"Move over for me?" he asks. You turn over to find him standing right beside you. You blink once before scooting slightly off the bench.
He slides his body on the bench and he motions his hand to let you rest on his shoulder. He was warming and welcoming for you, so you let yourself fall on him willingly. He drapes an arm across your body. There was silence between the both of them. Only the sounds of your breathing occupied the air.
Your head rest on his shoulder comfortably. Namjoon felt warm under you. You never needed a blanket, because he was like a giant blanket and pillow to you.
You could feel a smile trace his face. It seemed like a dream. You feel his movement only to feel a pair of soft lips touch your temple, staying there for a couple of seconds.
So when he lets go you rise from your spot on his shoulder, so you could face him eye to eye. He smiles lightly at you and you smile back at him, too. You stare at his lips. They looked softer in real as in your dreams.
You don't know what possessed you. Your brain was firing faster than you could process the moment. The only thing on your mind now was Namjoon and for that brief second your fears all went away.
Ever so lightly his hand grabs onto your chin as his gaze pierces you. Before you could do anything more. Namjoon pulls in so your lips meet. Your instincts take over and you kiss him back. He was soft against your lips. It made it sweet and wanting. It was one of the best feelings for you.
You let go gasping for air as he smiles. The charming grin that you see when he flirts with others. Now here it was towards you but with something slightly different. Like there was a glint in his eyes of some sort.
Namjoon kisses the top of your head. "I love you" he says quietly. "I have and always did."
Your irrational fears, gone. Hearing it from Namjoon himself. He loves you and it turned out all this time, he did. All it took was three simple words and your whole world of doubt becomes nothing to you. The realization leaves a wider smile on your face and not for a second longer, you didn't hesitate to say it.
"I love you, too."
