Eight

Four weeks later - Friday, August 14

"Joonie!" I said affectionately, running into his arms and giving him a big hug. He laughed. 

"Hey, Mi-young," Namjoon said, kissing the top of my head. "What're we gonna do for date night tonight?" he asked, I leaned back, my arms still around his back. I shrugged. 

Things had been going amazing. We would go on dates at least 3 times a week, whether it was to dinner or a movie or to one of our houses where we would just sit on the couch talking for hours on end. 

"I was thinking, maybe we could do to the dock and just chill," Namjoon suggested. I pretended to swoon. 

"Ooh, sounds romantic!" I said. Namjoon laughed again, throwing his head back. 

"You know you're so adorable?" he said. I smirked and laced my fingers through his. "Ready to go?" he asked, I nodded. 

"I'm ready to get out of this place, this week has gone by so slow!" I said, we walked out of the pharmacy building. 

We reached his car and I got inside. "Joon, the last time I used my car was like more than a week ago," I said with a breath. Namjoon nodded. 

"I mean, you don't need to. Isn't it convenient that your boyfriend is your colleague?" I blushed. We hadn't really talked about our status together yet, but I mean we'd been dating for a month, so he was qualified to be considered as my boyfriend, right? 

"Haha, I guess," I said, strapping in my seat belt.

Namjoon's head was in my lap. We were sitting on a small picnic blanket on the edge of the dock of Moon Lake. His eyes were closed, he looked so peaceful. I smiled at his little dimples that made his face complete. 

I leaned back on my arms and looked at the bright blue sky above. Everything was quiet, except for the faint wisps of laughter in the distance. Then I heard something else, footsteps, getting closer, and then they got really fast. They were going away. I turned my head, just to see three boys walking in the other direction. I recognized one of the boys strides. 

"Jimin!" I called. Namjoon awoke suddenly and sat upright. "Oh, sorry, Joon," I said sheepishly. I stood up. "Jimin! Come here!" I said again, walking towards the group of boys. Jimin turned around and ran to me. 

"Mi-young! Hi, sorry, I'm here with Kooks and Tae," he said. I gave him a confused look,

"Who's. . .Tae. . .? Oh. . ." I said with realization. Jimin came closer to me, 

"He made us turn around as soon as he saw you," Jimin explained. I frowned. 

"He recognized my back?" Jimin shrugged. Namjoon came up behind me and put an arm around my shoulder. 

"Everything okay here?" Namjoon said with authority, 

"It's okay, this is Jimin, my best friend," I said. Namjoon's mouth turned up in a smile and he extended a hand to Jimin. He took it cautiously. 

"Hi, I'm Park Jimin, you must be Kim Namjoon, am I right?" Jimin asked. Namjoon nodded. "Nice to meet you!" he said with a grin. I beamed at the two of them, glad that they liked each other. 

"Jimin hyung! Let's go, please!" I heard a deep voice call from behind them. My expression immediately turned sour. Kim Taehyung. Jimin gave me a look of pity,
