Giggles and Goofs

"Y/N!" A voice called out. Turning around, your eyes fell to a disguised figure hurrying towards you. Namjoons eyes meeting with yours as he paused in front of you.

You were in the grocery store, since your apartment had run out of food and needed to stock up. You also just wanted to escape your room. "Hey, Namjoon, what are you doing out here?"

"Oh I know...I should be practicing..." he looked down a bit shamed, you quickly pulled back your sentence. "No! You're fine! You're constantly practicing, I was just surprised with how much you've grown that you're out here with no guards or manager." You held your hands behind you crossing them awkwardly. "Why don't you be my guard then?" He joked, you chuckled and put your head down. "I'm here cause I wanted to get out. Gonna be spending the rest of the week in the studio so might as well." He shrugged. You nodded understanding. "How's Hobi doing?" You beseeched. He shrugged. "He's fine, he doesn't talk about you a lot anymore."
He paused, tilting his head back. "You didn't want to know that..." he whispered, you shook your head, sadly putting your hand out to him. "No, please, it's fine, we don't really talk that much anymore."

"What happened?" He asked softly. You shrugged, "fame? I don't know, he's always busy." You huffed heavily. "I'm sorry to hear that, he's not ignoring you on purpose." Namjoon sighed, he seemed a bit guilty only you put your hand on his arm. "I know, he's a hard worker, always has been, but that's one of the reasons why I love him. He never gives up, you guys need to focus on your careers, not me." You assured, Namjoon nodded giving you a little thumbs up and an eye smile.

Standing there in awkward silence, you both stared at the floor. Thoughts rushing through your head, till he broke the silence. "You wanna come with me?" He offered, you shrugged a little but nodded. You didn't have many people to talk to so you might as well.

"Sure, where we going?" You snickered. He nodded behind him. "Grabbing some apples then heading back to the studio."

Without another word, you two made your way to the apples. You couldn't help but stare at the girls who wore BTS merchandise not to far from you and Namjoon. Regretting your decision, you knew what happened to girls who were spotted with male idols.

"Namjoon..." you whispered, he looked at you then followed your stare to the girls. "Right...keep your head down." He whispered back, putting his head down, grabbing a few apples and sliding them into the bag, he put his hand onto your back pushing you with as he scurried past you, his hand falling to your wrist and pulling you along as you disappeared behind an aisle.

Looking back, nobody had noticed, which set you into relief, but something did catch your eye.

A camera.

Pointing at you.

Hiding your face, all you could hope for was that nobody saw Namjoon.

Paying for your things, you laughed with Namjoon as you walked out into the street. "Gosh, fans are everywhere now." Namjoon chuckled, you laughed and leaned into him as you began walking at a fast pace away from the store. "Means you're doing something right." You smiled looking up at him, he leaned back in silent laughter as you went a quicker running pace still giggling like children.

Walking up to the building, you paused a little bit in front of the door, both Namjoon and your smiles faded away. "By the way...Y/N, just thought I'd tell you...we're gonna try to release Magic Shop with our other songs, for the album." He turned to you as he spoke, you nodded brushing your hair out of your face. "I wish you the best of luck with it." You gave the biggest smile you could. Yet slowly, deep down inside, you wanted to cry.

Love Yourself era was coming up fast, and while you were extremely happy for the boys, you just couldn't imagine no longer seeing Hoseok. As a friend.
