Chapter 11

He sits up on the sofa bringing Louis up to his face and kissing his nose, all the while my little cherub is purring away. "I like him too" he says in an excited child like voice. He boops his nose and and says a word in Korean. I don't quite catch it so I ask him what he said. "Gwiyeobda" he repeats, "it means cute".

"How would you like to go to London Zoo today?" I ask. He looks at me with wide eyes and I see excitement bubbling in him. "Oh yes please, I love animals" he says leaping up from the sofa. He does a little dance whilst manoeuvring over to me and i'm taken aback again at how easily he moves.

I grab my purse and phone and shove them into my hand bag and grab my leather jacket and give Louis a tickle on the head. "After you I say" and point towards the door and he goes to move and stops. He looks at me and puts his head to one side. "Your hair looks nice up. I can see more of your face and your neck" he says. I haven't made the effort I wanted too, but he is obviously happy so that puts me at ease. I'm starting to get excited now. I haven't been to the zoo in years.

We head downstairs and into the waiting car, Ji-Ho and Min-Jun in the front, Ji-Ho is the driver. Jimin speaks in Korean to him and I know he is directing him to drive to London Zoo. We are sat so close our thighs are touching. He too is in ripped denim jeans and a white t-shirt but has a navy blazer on over it, he is wearing black Fila trainers and has on some really lovely jewellery. Silver rings of different widths and designs are on his fingers, he has a bracelet on his left arm and a Chanel necklace, but what strikes me is the silver feather earrings he's wearing. They hang from his lobes and adorn his slender neck. He isn't wearing sunglasses today and I can see his eyes are still a little puffy.

"How did you sleep last night?" I ask inquisitively. "Not very well" he replies but continues swiftly with "I found myself very distracted and began trying to write lyrics". I ask if that comes easy to him usually and he tells me no, it doesn't. It's usually the melody he finds easier.

I ask him if he wants to take a selca mimicking his slip yesterday and he says yes, but takes it on his phone. I lean in and he makes a v sign around his eye and pokes his tongue out, I can't think of anything other than to smile, he takes much more of these I suppose so posing becomes natural but not in a narcissistic way with him. He seems so genuine and sweet with a slight dark side too.

Before we realise we are pulling in to a car parking space on the outskirts of Regents Park, it's just a short walk from here to the zoo. Min-Jun exits the vehicle to arrange a pay and display ticket and whilst we wait he asks if we can take another picture. I tell him of course and lean in again but this time he kisses my cheek as he takes the picture. It's a hilarious one. My reaction. Caught clearly on camera. My eyes wide with shock but a seductive looking gasp on my lips.

Min-Jun returns and we all exit the vehicle. We start our walk over to the main entrance and he picks up my hand, swinging it as we walk. To the passers by we look just like a normal couple out on a date, well that is until they see the huge men following us at a close pace. I can't help but laugh at how by them being there it actually makes him more obvious. I hope he doesn't get recognised as i'm sure that will make us staying out in public difficult. I cross my fingers and pray for a fun filled but quiet day where he can relax and unwind.
