Namjoon's pov

Last night

We laugh for the better part of the night, she getting drunker by the minute, getting more careless by the minute, more ridiculous by the minute.

Drunk Ayanna doesn't really give a fuck about anything, I think, laughing, she joins in with me.
She blabbers incoherent sentences,

"Did you know I have a really bad temper!? My friends say I look like im about to kill someone and they say I have an aura of 'don't mess with me' wherever I go. Is that true? What possessed YOU to talk to me then?"

"Have you watched the drama 'Encounter'? Well I've wanted to randomly dance like that too, unexpectedly, in a random place ,but to Airplane pt. 2! Wouldn't that be perfect?!"

"I may not look like it, but I've been a romantic all my life! Why can't lavish balls and parties be a thing again?! And frilly dresses?"

"You? In a frilly dress? I don't see that happening." I say staring at her with mock surprise

"Yah! You've only known me for two days! Just because I wear navy and black hoodies all the time doesn't mean I don't like dresses!"

"What are your views on democracy? I don't really think it's practical to take everyone's opinion into account. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't try. We should try to reach an optimum solution-" she starts again, without missing a beat.
"And... thats ENOUGH wine for today." I say as I take her wine glass and wash up, only to find her passed out on the sofa, hair covering her face as she's mumbling something about quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity.

Is it so bad to fall?

I think you've already fallen for her, Namjoon.

I kneel and can't help but stare at her, sleeping, a faint blush on her face from all that alcohol.

I guess I can't go back to my apartment tonight. I can't leave her here like this.

I sigh before I lift her, supporting her by her back and knees,  carrying her up the stairs.
I place her on her bed and tuck her in, placing a glass of water and aspirin on the side table.

I enter the spare room and close the door, glancing at my watch.
It was 1:40am. Morning in Korea.
I enter my room and call Jin hyung.

"Hello hyung!"

"Heya Namjoon! Wait- Why are you calling me? Why haven't you slept yet? We just spoke yesterday!"

"Well... I wanted to tell you something"

"What?"

"I think I'm falling in love. With Ayanna"

"I told you we shouldn't have let him go alone!" I hear Yoongi hyung yell in the background "Namjoon, it's been like two days since you've met her! And now you're in love? Are you naive?"

"Hyung why do you put the damn call on speaker all the time! Aish why do I even call you-"

"Yah yah yah! That's not important now. What do you mean you're falling in love with her? Like Yoongi said, it's been three days"

"I don't know hyung... It's- I- I can't really put it in words. Not right now. I feel like I know her. Like it's perfect."

"There he goes, being a romantic again..." I hear Hoseok sigh

"Shush!" I hear Jin

"What about her? Do you think she feels the same way?" Asks Yoongi

"I don't know. She's kind of hard to read, but not really at the same time. At the moment, I don't think she feels the same way..."

"Are you sure about yourself though? Are you sure it's not something else?" Jin enquires in all seriousness

"Yes. I'm sure. I'm sure...."

"Well then there's nothing to it! I'm so happy for you Namjoon-ah! I hope she reciprocates your feelings!" I hear Jin get all giggly and smiley

I can't help but smile too

"You're the eldest here! You're supposed to discourage all this!" I hear Yoongi tell Jin

"Ahh Yoongi-ah don't be jealous. You'll find someone too! Let Namjoonie be happy!"

"Namjoon! You told that she was an ARMY, who is her bias then? She must be having bias." Hoseok asks

"Ahhh here's the funny part, her bias is....wait for it... Yoongi hyung!" I laugh when answering

I hear Jin and Hobi laugh with Hobi asking "Really? Really?"

"Namjoon! You should see Yoongi's face right about now! It's hilarious! He's doing that blushing but angry face!"

"She has excellent choice. I approve. " I hear Yoongi say

I laugh along with the three of them

"Well, do you have a plan? To ask her out?" Hobi asks

"Yeah. Now that you know her bias,you know that she's gotta have something in common with Yoongi!" Jin adds "Yoongi, how would you want someone to ask you out?"

WHAT KIND OF A QUESTION IS THAT? It doesn't work that way, you know." I can hear Yoongi rolling his eyes

"Well I'm thinking of something. I'll let y'all know if this goes anywhere."

"I NEED REGULAR UPDATES" Jin declares

"And I'll try to give them to you but I swear to god hyung, if you put my calls on speaker again I'm gonna lose it and never call you again"

"Okay okay Namjoon! You have my word"

"Where are the maknaes now? And why are the three of you still together?"

"Well all of them went back home. We had some work and meetings pending so we're currently in Yoongi's studio. I'm gonna leave tomorrow and Hobi is gonna leave the day after. I don't know about Yoongi. He's being very secretive, like always."

"I TOLD YOU I'M GOING HOME TOO. TOMORROW. WITH YOU. WE'RE LITERALLY LEAVING IN THE SAME CAR"

"Ahh apparently Yoongi's leaving tomorrow too"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN APPARENTLY. Oh my god why do I even know y'all. I can't-"

I hear Jin laughing

"Ahh hyung stop annoying Yoongi hyung! Seriously, when will you grow up!"
"Didnt something like this happen the last time too?" I hear Hoseok say as he takes the phone

"You're the only mature one sometimes" I say as I sigh

"Take care Namjoon! Don't do anything stupid." I hear Yoongi drawl

"Yeah Namjoon. Go get that girl!" Hoseok cheers

I laugh as we say our goodbyes and hang up.

I stare at the ceiling, smiling before I turn off the light and let exhaustion take over.

...

I wake up to the sound of plates clinking on the side table. Opening my eyes, I find Ayanna smiling at me. I smile back.

"It's 9:30 already. Wake up!" She says and she gets ready to leave when I grab her hand. She looks back in surprise, eyes widening

"How's your head?" I say as I sit up, trying to shake off the sleep

She just stands there, staring at me, her face growing redder by the minute. I look down and realise I am shirtless.

"Like what you see?" I say, trying to come off as cool when in reality there's just one thing going on in my head

Shitshitshitshitshitshitshitshit-

"I- um-I" I see her shake her head and compose herself

"I swear to god Namjoon, that was a new low in cringe." she says, evidently trying to cover up with her facade.

"You didn't answer the question"

"I don't think I want to and I don't think I'm going to. Eat your breakfast and come down. We have a dinner planned today. Do you want to do anything else before?"

"Don't you have to rest your foot?"

"Good point. I'm gonna go now" she answers, as I see her getting flustered by the second. I let her hand go and ruffle my hair as I say "Yeah okay"

She exits the room, closing the door softly behind her.

How do I get the girl? How do I get this girl?
