The ride to Evelyn's villa was quite wild. Namjoon was the only one who enjoyed the ride with Angel. It wasn't his first time to see her jealous, but it still piqued his interest to see it more.

Angel overtook over twenty cars, ignored seven red lights, and had the police follow her twice. All because Evelyn was trying to have a conversation with Namjoon, she did everything she could to interrupt them.

Evelyn on the other hand wad so annoyed, she wondered if Angel even had a driving license. "Namjoon can you take over? Angel seems to be too tired-"

"Miss scott" Angel cut her off immediately.

"What?" Evelyn asked confused.

"Call me Miss Scott, Miss lady" Angel was as expressionless as ever.

"But Namjoon calls you Angel-"

"That's only for Namjoon" Angel cut her off again making the woman raise an eyebrow. Evelyn nodded anyways and stayed shut. As if she is starting to suspect something.

"Don't misunderstand Evelyn, Angel likes to be called by her nick name from the people she loves the most" Namjoon looked back at Evelyn and smiled, "Don't take it the wrong way"

"Yes" Angel agreed and rolled her eyes. Why is he caring if she is offended or not?

"Whatever, I have to be home by now, my papa must be worried" Evelyn mentions making Namjoon nod.

"Angel, please drive carefully, we have to drop her before it's midnight" Namjoon Said making Angel scoff internally.

"All right boss" she muttered under her breath and sped up. Namjoon snickered at the small pout on her lips, what was she so upset about? This woman was always filled with mystery.

Not long after they reached Evelyn's villa, Namjoon got off the car to help Evelyn out.

"What is she, a royal princess?"  Angel rolled her eyes for nth time for the day. She got off the car and watched as Namjoon walked the girl to the front door.

"It was such a lovely day tonight right Namjoon?" She uttered with heartful of joy, "only the last bit of the day was ruined because of your friend" she side eyes Angel who was kicking around the pebbles on the ground.

"Yes it was a nice day, and I'm sorry for what happened tonight. You must've had such a fright" he apologized sincerely making her heart swoon. "I'll make sure that nothing like that happens again" his smile was so cute that she Melted.

"Be safe when you're going back home" Evelyn stood on her toes and attempted to press her lips on his cheeks, had he not stepped back he would've gotten a red lipstick mark on his cheek.

Namjoon glanced to look at Angel who was staring blankly at them, his heart skipped a beat and and was swallowed by a burn.

This brief glance was enough for Evelyn to notice the look on their eyes. She stepped back and smiled. "Go home safe Namjoon" she bid him bye and stepped into her house and closed the door behind her.

Namjoon immediately headed towards Angel who started walking towards the car.

"Hey! Hey! I'm driving" Namjoon called out to her but she acted as if she was deaf. As she was about to open the door of the car, she was held by Namjoon.

"I said I'm driving" he repeated.

"But I'm your driver for the day...boss" she replied in a tone that was a little stern.

"You're tired, and you drove enough for today, get in" he motioned her to sit on the passenger seat and proceeded to sit on the drivers seat.

"He can help the girl out of the car, but can't open the door for me" Angel scoffed under her breath and got in the car.

The ride was silent. Angel was staring out the window, her mind was a haze. She was tired that was no lie. She had alot to deal with tomorrow, alot.....

Namjoon peeked at her and realized she had fallen asleep. A soft smile came upon his face. His eyes went to her hand which laid on her lap. Should he hold it? No right.

He has no right to do it. Sighing he just focused on his driving. Honestly Evelyn is such a nice woman, but thinking about marriage with her didn't set right with him. It was hard for him to deny his father but, marrying her knowing that he doesn't love her and won't be able to provide the love she need would be unfair for her.

What was he supposed to do?

If only Witch would kidnap him again. He let out a soft laugh and glanced back at Angel who looked really tired.

The dryness of her lips shined under the moonlight, her skin was freckled and her hair was a mess.

Perfection. He fell all over again.

"No.." Angel mumbled under her breath. Namjoon heard it and realized she was sleep talking.

"Please.." she started sniffling, her hands grasped her dress tightly.

Worried, namjoon quickly slowed down the car and parked it at the side of the road.

"Angel?" He held her hand and tried to wake her up. Fir a few minutes she didn't let out any word until she started to breath harder.

"Fire!" She whispered, "no....please" she started crying harder and Namjoon panicked. He started shaking her violently, trying to wake her up.

"Angel!! It's just a dream...wake up!" He screamed at her.

Her eyes fluttered open and met his. For a moment, her mind was blank. And then she realized she was in a car, and later she realized namjoon was infront of her.

"Why, what happened?" She asked Namjoon who looked panicked.

"You were crying while sleeping" he answered and she immediately touched her wet cheeks.

"Oh" she removed his hands off her, "I must've seen a nightmare" she stared out the window again.

"Are you okay?" He asked and she nodded.

"I wanna go home" she answered softly. "I'm really tired and I miss my home" she said under her breath and he heard it all.

"I'll get you home" he answered and started driving.

"You're taking me to my house, not my home"
