Fate

Chapter 137

Mina's P.O.V.
Ahhhhhh. Why was waiting so nerve-racking?! I didn't know if it was for his flight to land in New York or for the first article about my books coming out in Korean. Either way, I was eager. Maybe it was because I was excited to show him my completed leg sleeve? My ringtone came to my ears. "Gosh! Where is that thing?!" I ran to my room  and grabbed it. "Hello?"

"Hey! Did you hear from him yet?" I sighed so hard. "Oh. You sound disappointed, Boo. Not expecting me, did you?"

I smiled. "I'm always happy to talk to you, Meg. I was waiting for his, not gonna lie."

A short laugh. "Sorry. Kookie texted me they just landed and there were a lot of ARMYs at the gates, so they'll call after they are in their rooms."

Really? That's reassuring. However.. "Did he say how the fans were? Were they causing a ruckus?"

I could feel her shrug at the other end of the line. "He didn't say. I just can't wait to see his face!"

I had to admit.. "Me too.."

A chuckle. "Your His is surely not the same as mine."

Now I was flustered. "You know what I mean! Besides, didn't you just come back from a flight to Taiwan? How was your overnight stay?"

She chewed my ears off for a good hour. It got our minds off it.

Namjoon's P.O.V.
I kept looking at my lock screen, she and I in our duet end pose. Her poking her head up behind me and I, looking fondly at her. It was one of the best moments we shared. "Should I tell her how the first show went?" I was sure she was dying to know. I set up my laptop and called her. "Please pick up- Hey Foxy~" I brushed my hair back trying to look presentable.

Her smile couldn't be sweeter. "Hey dragon eyes~ How was the flight?"

I opened some snacks. "Short and sweet! Getting out of the airport was smooth too."

A light sigh. "That's a relief." She seemed interested in what I held between my fingers. "What in the world are you eating?"

I showed her. "Honey biscuits. I felt a bit homesick, you know? Lucky for us, there's a place that delivers Korean food near our hotel. They are so sickenly sweet, yet.." I bit into it. "I can't seem to get enough."

My girlfriend seemed quite amused. "Careful having too many of these. Should I try and make some when you're in town?"

That would be amazing. "It's pretty tricky to make. I'm sure you have other things to focus on."

"Sure, I won't." She winked. "I'll make you jajjangmyeon. It's bound to rain in March isn't it?"

I grinned. "You know we usually do that home? How many books did you read?"

A genuine laugh. "Far too many." The dreaded question. "How were the shows? Had fun?"

Would I disappoint her? "It's been nice! The guys and I have fun." She wasn't replying. "The dancers perform great each time."

She nodded, sipping her drink. "Be honest. I see it in your face."

"I want to see that finished and healed leg sleeve first! Show me." I dodged.

She glared at me, yet smiled. "Let me get up and roll up my shorts." The reveal was better than expected. Delicate flowers woven into tarot card of the lovers and the moon and melted into her previous heart tattoo smoothly. "I even have molecules! See?"

I took a closer look. "Dopamine, caffeine and serotonin.. Cute! Am I seeing sunflowers and daisies?"

She jumped of excitement. "Yes! Oh- And cherry blossoms."

"I didn't see those! Very pretty, like you." I wanted to kiss her so bad.

She sat back down. "You'll see it closer soon. I should let you go. You have to rest for tomorrow and I have to finish my article for SB's website by noon tomorrow as well."

I let out a deep sigh. "You're way more reasonable than me."

A half grin. "Am I? Be careful what you wish for."

My phone rang as soon as I closed my computer. I saw the contact ID. What in the world? "Hello?"

My family member sharing Mina's birth year greeted me. "Hey cousin! How are you?"

Call me surprised. "You never call! What do I owe the honors?"

"I wanted to thank you for the early wedding gift. I'll use them in my bridesmaids' hair." I was so confused. "Oppa? The hair pins. It's signed Congratulations on your engagement. From Namjoon and Mina. I only know one."

That's why she asked for her address! I knew to send a wedding gift, but so early? She's clever. "You're very welcome, but you'll have to thank Mina for those. She probably made them. I was going to buy you something."

She seemed shocked and excited. "She did? Woah, they're pretty! Do you think she could do my centerpieces?"

Now, I was laughing. "You'll have to ask her. She'll be back in Seoul soon enough." In 12 days.. Did time go by this fast?

I'm inching closer to you, Mina. I will be by your side before you leave. I have to.
