Fate

Chapter 70

Mina's POV
What better to do on a fall day than tour museums? Meg and Kookie oppa stayed at the hotel to play video games. We brought masks just in case. He looked at my card. "What's that?"

I showed him. "It's an OPUS card. We have that for transportation." I showed him the map. "We have different zones. A to D, but we only need A and B because it's Montreal and Laval. The rest, I have my car." I pressed the buttons for him. "You're here a month. Do you want a ticket for today or a pass for the whole month?"

He compared the price. "2 passes is 9$. We're gonna take a lot more than that, just today. I'll take the whole month. It's not lost, Kookie can use mine when I don't use it."

We finished the buy and used the cards. "This way, gotta be quick, the wagons are coming!"

We made it into the wagon last second. His first surprise.. "Wow. It's pretty empty."

I chuckled. "Yeah, it's not rush hour." We took a seat. I laid my head on his shoulder, his arm around me. "Reminds me of after the show."

He smiled. "Yeah, talking about that. Isn't that Solar noona's shirt?"

I nodded. "Was! Paired with jean shorts it's perfect for a casual look, no? An expensive casual look, but still."

He squeezed me a little tighter. "It's perfect. I'm predictable."

He was, a T-shirt and and cardigan with jeans. "I don't know what you mean by that?"

He tickled me. "How dare you laugh at me?!"

I looked up. "Oh sh*t, we have to get out next stop."

Namjoon's POV
I couldn't stop looking at her. To me, she was the art in the room. "You see, that painting? Isn't it soulful?"

"It's almost like the sky is bending into that woman to watch over us. Kind, yet judgmental. What do you think?" She asked.

I took my eyes away from her and to the painting. "Right, it looks like mother nature. She doesn't look too happy does she?"

She put her hands into her pockets. "Can you blame her? You've seen the damage we've caused. Climate change, the end of gasoline, the forest fires, the droughts, the floods.. She gave us soil to feed ourselves and we're destroying it little by little." Her eyes were glistening. "Governments and industries tell the population to do little things like compost and recycling, etc. Yet, they're the ones who can make a big change. They have the big end of the stick."

I adored when she went political on me. I whispered. "Keep talking like that I won't be able to resist giving you a kiss."

A cocky grin. "It's guaranteed then." She showed me another piece of art. "What about this one?"

This one felt extremely personal. "It's us."

Had I mumbled? "Sorry, I didn't quite catch that."

"Oh, sorry." I took hold of her hand. "I said I feel like it's an accurate representation of our situation. Two people being judged, watched, observed and scrutinized by the public. The woman seems to be hurting the most, but both still love eachother."

"We're not that exposed."

I frowned. "What do you mean?"

"We're not naked!" She pointed out laughing.

I held back my laugh. "You didn't see it that way did you?"

I was right. "You're making a good point. It's similar to us in the way you explained. I saw their nakedness first, so I went with another interpretation."

I loved when we had different takes. "And what is it?"

She smiled. It was an interesting one. "A depiction of p*rnography." I almost choked. She laughed. "Yeah. Naked, for all eyes to see."

I commented. "I want you naked for my eyes to see."

She gently slapped my arm. "Language!"

"Who speaks Hangul here? Pretty sure we're safe enough."

Seems I made a good point. "Still. Shush!"

What a fun day it was.

Mina's POV
"You haven't spent a night at your hotel yet."

"Well.. I haven't spent a night with you yet. I don't call sharing the couch with Jungkook at your place spending the night with you."

I agreed. "Fair point. Coming back with me then?"

He happily nodded. "Of course! We have to stop by for cake. It's a day to celebrate."

I chuckled. "Fine.. Let's get home."

We didn't have cake right away. There was a lot of kissing involved. "How can you get even prettier each time I see you?"

I wrapped my arms around his neck. "And you, handsome. What's your point?"

"I'm saying you're gorgeous, just take it, will you?"

"Alright! I'll shut my mouth."

He whispered in my ear. "I can do that for you as well."

"Oh, please do."

I wasn't prayed.

"Here is your piece of cake, miss."

I smiled. "Cake in bed, now that's a party."

It made him laugh. "Happy one year of meeting you in Seoul because you used an old map and got lost."

The laughter was shared. "To you bringing me to the museum and staying." We clinged our forks together before taking a bite. "That's good cake. Doesn't beat my birthday, but it's delicious." I thought about it. "How did you find out lemon cake with raspberry cream was my favorite?"

He took a bite. "Little birds, little birds."

"Meg did "

He pouted. "No! I said a little bird!"
