"I guess you can call me Athena now on. I really.like the meaning behind it. Thank you Dimpl- uhhh" Great! Now he's going to think that you're weird. I lowered my head as my face heated up. " S-sorry." I managed to stammer out.
Dimples giggled before speaking, " it's okay. I didn't introduce myself anyways. Dimples is cute too, I don't mind you calling me that. Well, I'm not sure whether you would know me but I'm Kim Namjoon, leader of a boy group called BTS." Namjoon said
Oh so he's an artist. I should check them out later.
" Sorry I didn't hear of BTS before but I'll check you guys out later. But you're an artist right? Is it alright for you to be out here at like" I paused for a moment to glance at the time on my watch before continuing. " 2 am? Aren't you scared that you'll get mobbed by fans?"
" I needed inspiration for lyrics. It's kind of boring to be in the studio 24/7 so I thought I'll come out to take a breather. And, well for the fans…" Namjoon let out an audible sigh.
I turned to look at him, curious of why he stopped talking. And there I saw it. On his precious face, was a downcast look. Shit, I think I touched a wrong topic.
Namjoon probably felt my stare, as he quickly smiled. I could tell it was a sad one though.
" We debuted around 5 months back and our fanbase isn't that strong. Plus, if I want to be worried, I should be worried about getting mobbed by haters." Namjoon scoffed at himself in disbelief at the end of his sentence.
"Your fanbase isn't that strong yet. Namjoon, you have to believe in the power of the word 'yet'. Yes, your fanbase probably isn't strong now, but it doesn't mean it won't be strong in the future. Whenever you feel that you can't do something or something isn't possible, add the word 'yet' to the end of your sentence.
You aren't there yet I believe that you can make it.
And about the haters, I don't even know why they hate you or the group. Like, they don't even know what is it like so just ignore them. You guys are gonna have more haters in the future because I believe BTS would be very famous. You know, your haters are your biggest fans. "
Wow. I didn't know I had this inspiring side of me in me. I looked at Namjoon and clearly he was awestruck.
"W-wow thanks." He said, flashing me a smile worth a million dollars. There was even a light blush on his cheeks.
KYAAAAA WHY IS HE SO CUTE!!
"Is there something on my face?" Shit, I've been staring at his face again. Damn it, why are you so good-looking.
"Oh no, there's nothing on your face. I just kinda daydreamed a little. Well, have you found your inspiration yet? I mean you came out for inspiration." I asked, trying my best to not sound awkward.
" Yea. Talking to you was an inspiration!" Namjoon then gave a smile, which again revealed his FREAKING CUTE DIMPLES!!!
" I'm glad then. One question, can we exchange numbers? You're the first person I'm truly comfortable with and I don't want to end this friendship here." I was expecting him to reject because of his agency, but deep down, I really wanted him to just take my phone and key in his number.
" Of course! I was about to ask the same. I guess great minds do think alike." Namjoon took my phone and typed in his number and some other stuff. I keyed my number into his phone and saved it into his contacts when he said.
" Hey Athena, can you save your birthday in too? Thanks."
I typed my birthday in and passed his phone back to him. I got my phone back too and I looked at the time.
" NAMJOON! IT'S LIKE 3AM! GO HURRY BACK!" I exclaimed in urgency, but Mr Dimples looked as calm as ever.
" Nah, I'll walk you back. It's not safe for you to be walking back by yourself."
Is he serious? WHY IS HE SUCH A GENTLEMAN!! I MAY FALL FOR HIM YOU KNOW!!
"A-alright." I replied, stuttering a little. The journey from the Han River to my rented apartment took around 10 minutes by foot. We talked a little more during the journey and when I reached my apartment, I stopped and wanted to wave Namjoon goodbye, when he interrupted me.
"Athena, we're friends right?" Namjoon asked as he looked at me for confirmation.
Why was he even asking this though? Am I not his friend yet? " Yea, of course."
" Okay. Then you should take this. Unless you don't treat me as your friend." After saying his piece, Namjoon stuffed some notes in my hand. I look down, and saw there were 2 green notes lying in my hand. THIS IS TOO MUCH!
" HEY JOON! THIS IS A LITTLE TOO MUCH!" I kind of screamed at Namjoon. I tried to give him back one of the notes when he said solemnly, " Unless you don't treat me as your friend."
" Fine. I admit defeat. But I'm gonna return you back once I earn it and you can't refuse it either."
Namjoon flashed me another smile and waved me goodbye, then he started to walk back to his dorm. I watched him as his figure got smaller and smaller. It was until I couldn't see him anymore then I strolled into my rented apartment. " It's such a long day…" I muttered as I plopped myself down in bed, and slowly drifted away to sleep
