The One That Got Away

Acceptance (How it all began)

"Namjoon!"

Where is he? I've been looking for him everywhere! Probably napping somewhere...he didn't show up for home room, English or history class.

"Namjoon!" I called out. "Where are you?"

I gave up looking through the school's garden and decided to try the roof top. Surely he's there. I walked up the stairs and opened the door, slowly closed it and looked around. He's not here...hmm. Maybe if I look over there. It's shady so maybe he's there.

I walked around the corner and there he was. Fast asleep. He looked...so peaceful. Strands of his hair moving slightly with the soft breeze blowing. I couldn't help but stare, my heart raced. I've never seen anyone look quite like this, he looks beautiful. Despite the fact he was up here he looked extremely comfortable. I carefully sat next to him and watched him. I was afraid to wake him...

"Mm..." He groaned.

"Namjoon" I spoke in a soft tone. "Wake up"

"Mmm...Minji." He leaned towards me and rested his head on my shoulder.

My heart rate increased. My face began to feel hot. What's he doing? Why do I feel this way? He's my best friend. I can't feel like this, it's not right. No. I shook my head.

"Minji. Did I miss anything important in class?" He asked softly.

"No. Not really. I took notes if you want them, it'll help you so you don't fall behind." I said.

He smiled. I could feel the movement.

"Thanks Minji. I can always count on you to have my back. You're the best" he said.

My heart skipped a beat.

I looked at him. His black, straight hair still moving along with the breeze. I loved how his hair looked. It's so dark and the way he combs it...to the side like that. His bangs flowing the same direction the wind blew. He was like a handsome character in a Manga.

He looked up and our eyes met. My heart raced and I felt as if though at any moment my heart would stop. He smiled at me.

I gulped. My ears felt hot.

"Minji." He said.

"Yeah?" I asked.

Our eyes still locked.

"Do you mind if I copy your notes right now?" He asked.

I shook my head. "N-No"

He sat up correctly and stretched his arms out. He yawned.

I grabbed my backpack and took out my notebook.

"Here you go. Um, just give it to me tomorrow kay?" I smiled as I handed it to him.

I needed to leave, these feelings seem to be getting stronger with each passing day. I zipped my backpack up then got up.

"I'll see you tomorrow." I said then turned to walk away.

"Minji wait.." He grabbed my wrist.

I stopped. I felt like my legs were shaking but maybe that's just me...

"What is it Namjoon?" I asked, my back turned to him.

"Will you stay with me? Please.." He said.

Once again, his words made my heart race. I can't. These emotions seem to get the best of me...what if I say something stupid? I need an excuse, a good one.

"Well, I'm kind of hungry..." I said.

What a stupid excuse.

He let go of me. "Oh..."

Silence.

I felt so bad but I can't. These feelings...

"I can take you to eat afterwards. Just please stay" he spoke. "I don't want to be alone"

Why do his words make me feel like I'm about to throw up? His voice makes me weak in the knees...His touch makes my body feel like it's on fire...why? He's my best friend but yet these feelings only seem to get worse the more I'm around him...it's like a disease almost. But it's the kind of disease I want to keep. No matter how much I want to deny these feelings....it's inevitable.

I sat back down next to him without saying another word. I didn't even look at him.

"Minji." He said.

"Yeah?" I asked.

I felt his soft lips on my cheek. My eyes widened.

"You're the best" he chuckled.

I felt the hot where he had kissed. It burned. I wanted to to turn to him and press my lips against his but instead...

"Ya! Namjoon!" I exclaimed and pushed him playfully. "Why'd you do that for?!"

He laughed.

His adorable laugh. Those dimples. That big smile. All of those things....meaningless features to some but to me...it was utter perfection. That's when I knew....there's no doubting it anymore. I'm in love with Kim Namjoon.
