It had been a few weeks since Lee and Min-Young had returned from fighting the Red Queen and everybody was aware of the air between Namjoon and Min-Young except the two of them.

Lee hummed gently in approval with the boys plan. "So how exactly are we going to get Namjoon to confess to her?" He asked Taehyung and Jimin as they gathered in the kitchen to 'get snacks' whilst they were all in the living room.

"That's the part we hadn't thought of yet." Jimin grinned.

"But if we get Namjoon to confess, at least they won't be so tense all the time." Taehyung grinned. Lee's eyes widened and they darted to behind Taehyung. "We just need to force him-"

"Force?" A voice squeaked from behind Taehyung, stood in the doorway. Taehyung's eyes widened suddenly realising why Lee's eyes were glued over his shoulder.

"W-We didn't mean it like that-" Taehyung stuttered, raising his hands in defence as he saw Min-Young's eyes fill and pool with hurt and sadness. "I-I... Guys help me explain!"

"It's okay." She smiled sadly. "I... I don't need an explanation." She set her glass down on the side before opening the back door and walking out. Jimin and Lee simply glared at Taehyung before Lee followed her.

"Min-Young! Wait! Come back!" He yelled out which gathered the attention of everybody else. But Min-Young simply ran.

She ran deep into the forest, tears slipping down her cheeks.

"Why am I even upset?" She spoke to herself as she sat down in a patch of flowers and long grass at the base of a tree. "I knew he didn't see me in that way anyway and-" She shook her head and hugged her knees to her chest.

"Min-Young?" A voice startled her and she turned and saw Namjoon stood there, the sun setting behind him which gave him a glow that wasn't from him running to come and find her. "Min-Young why are you crying?" He asked softly, coming over and sitting beside her. She shook her head, feeling her heart shatter. "Is it because of what Taehyung said?"

She hesitated before nodding and he sighed, turning and bringing her towards his chest and she latched on immediately. Her arms wrapped around his middle as she rested her head on his chest and he smiled softly, stroking her hair.

"They didn't mean force as in they would make me say it even if I didn't house those feelings." He spoke quietly. "They meant force as in make me tell you I do, because I do."

She froze at this, her eyes widening.

"I was going to tell you... But then the whole being taken to execution thing happened and I was upset that I never got to tell you. But by then I had accepted the fact I was going to die, so I was relieved that I didn't tell you. Because then maybe you'd accept my death easier." He spoke quietly, noticing how her sobs stopped. "But I do... I do love you and I was so afraid to tell you just in case you didn't feel the same-"

"I love you too." She whispered out. Her voice quiet and broken into his chest, but he heard it and he was sure that she could hear his heart rate increase.

"Wait what?"

"I love you too." She laughed softly, lifting her head from his chest, hugging him gently and he let out a sigh of relief. They sat on the floor together, staring into eachothers eyes before Namjoon managed to mumbled out and break the silence.

"Can I kiss you?" His voice was soft and gentle and she nodded and they both leaned in, both gentle and both of them in awe at how soft eachothers lips were against their own.

They spent until the sky turned dark just talking, kissing occasionally and looking at the stars that were appearing in the night sky.

Namjoon turned to speak to her and noticed that she had fallen asleep against his shoulder and he smiled softly. He positioned her before picking her up on his back in a piggy back and he walked slightly hunched so she could rest her head still. Her arms dangled over his shoulders and he couldn't help the happiness that radiated from him as he walked back to the house.

"I'm still going to have some stern words with those three." He spoke gently to no one in particular, holding her up by her thighs.
