Seventeen: One Day With Her (2)

Kim Namjoon POV

After a nice lunch in the park, we decided to go visit another museum. Lotte Museum of Art is our next destination , because it is located in the center of the city. We drove there in Sora's car. It takes about 20 minutes to get there. During the trip we talked and laughed.

"Are you planning to release an album soon, oppa?", She asked

"Mmm ... we are still in the process of working. Some songs are ready. But my songs are still unfinished. Hopefully we can release a new album as soon as possible", I said smiling looking at her

"Did you write all the songs yourself?", she asked again

"Nee ... even the vocal lines write their own songs," I said proudly

"Waah daebak ya!", She said admiringly. "look! That's the tower," Sora said, pointing to the tallest building in Seoul

The museum that we will visit is indeed located on the 7th floor of Lotte World Tower. In addition to the museum, there are also Aquariums, concert halls, observatory decks, playgrounds and, of course, shopping center.

"I remember shooting Run BTS there. We had to film at night and play games around the shopping area," I explained

"Ah ne! I remember you guys also did Run BTS in indoor amusement park, right?", she replied nodding

"Do you watch Run BTS too?", I asked in disbelief

"ye ... the program was very entertaining. You look very competitive when there are prizes or penalty waited for you", she said laughing

"I'm so embarrassed", I said, covering my face. "Have you ever visited the amusement park too? ", I said looking at her

"Mmm ne, maybe only once about 2 years ago," she recalled

"It must be fun to go to that place with your friends," I said

"Actually, I went there when I was on a date", she said, laughing and blushing

"Wow, that's even more exiting," I said, looking at her

For some reason, there was a strange feeling in my heart when she said a date with someone else.

"No. It's not fun at all. We broke up the next day, because he was caught cheating behind me," Sora said, shaking her head

"What???jinjja??", I said in disbelief. "Mianhae (sorry)", I said again

"Gwaenchana", Sora laughed. "Do you have a girlfriend, oppa?", She asked suddenly

I coughed at the question, and we laughed again.

"Well, this is a secret. Please don't tell anyone", I asked, looking at her

"Yup", she said as she demonstrated her hand to lock her mouth

"One year after we debuted, I once dated my middle school friends. We met again when I visited my family in Ilsan and we get closer. But the relationship did not last long, only 2 months. I was very busy at the time. Our performance schedule is crowded, not to mention the mental pressure that I have to experience because of the many negative comments about BTS. So our relationship didn't work ", I replied with a bitter smile

"Ooh, it's a pity ...", she replied sympathetically

"Therefore, I chose to focus on my career than have a relationship. If I had to choose between dating and career, I would definitely choose my career. 1000 percent," I said, smiling at her

Kim Sora nodded her head at my words. "Ah we arrived", she said smiling as she parked her car on the ground floor

We got out of the car and headed straight for the elevator that would take us to the seventh floor. This time the museum is visited more by tourists. Many interesting exhibits here. Several times I asked Sora to take my picture in front of paintings or other unique objects. We also had a selca taken in front of a beautiful painting.

"Are you a couple?", Asked a foreign tourist woman standing beside us

"Oh no! We are not dating", Sora answered in fluent English.

"But you look so cute together", said the woman again

"Thank you. But we are just friends", She replied smiling, looking at Me

"Really? Okay..I'm just curious", replied the woman nodding

Sora and I looked at each other in disbelief. We laugh silently.

"Your English's good ", I say earnestly

"Ah, it's nothing compared to your speech at the UN, oppa," she said teasing me

"Aishh, you..," I said

We toured this museum for 2 hours. Then we headed to the duty free shopping center on the floor below. We went in and out of the shop to look around. We arrived at the accessories shop and started walking around. I saw a beautiful silver necklace with a crescent-shaped pendant. I remembered Sora's necklace that I broke yesterday. Yes, this necklace is very beautiful. I will buy it, I told myself. I went to the cashier and paid for the necklace. I saw Kim Sora was walking around in a far corner.

"Is there something you like?", I asked her

"No. Let's go somewhere else", she said as she walked out of the store

I looked at my watch, it's already 6 o'clock in the evening. And this mall is getting more and more crowded.

"Are you hungry?", I asked walking beside her

"Mmm a little. Are you hungry?", She asked me

"A little", I replied smiling

She stopped her steps and laughed at me.

"What are we going to do now oppa? ", She asked

"What if we eat grilled meat at a restaurant that I used to visit?", I said, giving an idea

"Okay ... grilled meat saunds good", she replied

We walked to the elevator to get down to the parking lot. In the car, Sora was writing the name of the restaurant we were going to go to on her car's GPS.

"Oh, this restaurant is close to where I live", she said after knowing the restaurant's address

I took out a small paperbag and gave it to her.

"Here! For you ... a gift from me for replacing your broken necklace yesterday and a thank you for accompanying me for two days," I said a little nervously

"Uh?? Oppa! You don't need to do this", she said in surprise while trying to return the paperbag to my hand

"Please... I sincerely bought it for you", I said giving the paperbag into her hand

"Jinjja?", she asked in disbelief

"Ne ... Open it! I hope you like it," I said while rubbing the back of my neck

"Gomawoyo", she said smiling and opened the paperbag that I gave. "Omo !! This is so beautiful! Oppa, this is too good and expensive, I don't think I can accept it", she said, surprised when she opened the gift box.

"Ani ... this is not expensive. As soon as I saw it I felt it would suit you," I said with a nervous smile

"Are you sure, it's for me? It is too beautiful oppa !?", she said

"Yes. Please accept it ... I will be very happy if you want to accept and wear it," I said insistently

"Kamsahamnida. I will definitely look after it well," said Kim Sora grateful

"Do you want to wear it? Here, let me help you," I said, taking the box from her hand

"Uh?Yes please", she said, slightly blushed

She sat with her back to me and raised her loose hair. I tried to put this crescent moon necklace around her neck. My heart is beating really fast. I can smell the scent of flowers from her long hair. A soft strand of hair fell on the back of my hand, which made my hand tremble uncontrollably. Damn! Why am I so nervous, I swear to myself.

"Okay! It's done ... ", I said as I wiped the sweat from my forehead

"Waah... it's so beautiful!", Said Kim Sora while looking in the mirror in the middle of the car. "Gumawo", she said with a happy smile

"Ne..aahh kyeopta (cute)", I replied, I felt my heart pounding seeing her smile so happy

"Okay, let's go now," she said, still smiling

"Ne... kajja", I replied

As soon as we left the ground floor of the Lotte World Tower, heavy rain welcomed us.

"No, it's raining, but this afternoon the weather was so bright," Sora murmured while turning on the windshield wiper

"Ne, it's a heavy rain," I replied looking at the streets around us

During the trip we didn't talk too much. I was more silent while occasionally glancing at her. What's going on, why is my heart still pounding?, I thought.

"What is your favorite food, oppa?", Sora asked, breaking the silence

"I really like eating samgyeopsal (grilled pork). At the place that we will visit later, the samgyeopsal and bulgogi are very delicious. I used to go to this place with other members", I explained excitedly

"Wow, I'm so impatient," Sora answered

"What about you? What's your favorite food?", I asked her

"Mmm I love kimchi. All food when eaten with kimchi is my favorite hahaha", she replied with a laugh

"You are unbelievable...", I said with laugh too

GPS tells us that we have arrived at the destination. Sora parked her car as close as possible to the restaurant entrance.

"Looks like there is an umbrella in the back seat," said Sora, trying to look for an umbrella under the back seat. "Ah here it is ", she answered happily

"There's only one?", I asked her

"Ye, too bad I only have one in the car," answered Sora a little sadly

"Gwaenchana, we can use it, give me the umbrella," I said, asking for the umbrella she was holding

When the umbrella was in my hand, I got out of the car and opened it, then walked to the driver's door to pick up Sora.

"Gomawo", she said after standing beside me

We walked slowly under an umbrella. Our arms rub against each other because there aren't enough space available under this umbrella.

"Omo !! Is this closed ??", I asked confused to see the restaurant door closed

"Ne, it seems so", Sora answered while reading the announcement posted at the entrance

"This restaurant is closed for a week because there is a little improvement," she said

"Ottoke? We can't eat grilled meat," I said, looking disappointed

"It's raining too, it's a bit hard to find another place when walking," she replied looking around

The rain was getting heavier, even we could not see the surroundings clearly.

"Mmm this is rather embarrassing, actually, but please don't misunderstand me," said Sora suddenly

"Huh?What do you mean?", I asked confused

"My apartment is near here, only 2 buildings to the left from here. Do you want to eat at my place? I can cook pork kimchi jjigae (pork kimchi stew) for you. I have no other intention, it's just that it's raining now, it's hard to find another place to eat. Besides, it's already night too, we might starve and get cold if we have to go around in this weather. But if you don't want it, it's okay, oppa. I'm just offering...", said Sora

She talked long and fast. Her face became redder with embarrassment and during speaking she did not dare look me in the eye.

"Omoo! Kim Sora ssi, kiyowo (cute). You're so cute like this", I said chuckling at her

"Alright, let's go to your place. I'm very hungry. Aftar all, it's also very cold here. I hope your kimchi jjigae is very delicious. Kajja!", I said smiling and took her back to the car

"Eh? Jinjja ??", she asked, not believing that I would agree with her idea
