《Pied Piper | {K.NJ}》Chapter 14

You listened to your brother talk about the past. About how he adopted you and raised you. The past you never knew. It did make sense since you've never seen your parents or his childhood photos. But you never really expected him to be an angel.

"I was actually shocked when I noticed that you could hear the sound of the flute. I thought it couldn't be possible. It was only supposed to be for targeted people so it confused me. I'm still trying to figure it out so do give me some time."

You nodded your head but there were a few questions that you needed answers. You had not known anything at all and since you ended up getting involved in this unknown mess, you wanted to at least know more about Namjoon.

"So Namjoon is your gift? How does it work?"

"Well, me and Min always perform the best at our work so we received Namjoon and Jungkook as a gift from the Gods. It's like they are our kids but that they grow up pretty fast unlike normal humans. We are like a family to each other. We live together, eat together and share memories together. Humans are the most precious gifts that we can ever receive. We gain warmth and love from them. Namjoon to me is like my son, my little brother and my entire world just like how you are to me, (Y/N)."

You nodded your head as you listened to him, storing every single detail inside your brain.

"But what happened to Namjoon and Jungkook?"

You noticed that he stiffened a bit. He wet his lips nervously and smiled at you.

"I believe it's better for Namjoon to tell you that."

You nodded your head. You could tell that Seokjin wanted to avoid answering the question and also probably because it was better to hear it from the person himself.

"So...how?"

"What do you mean how?"

"Like... you know I'm not human and.."

"Whether you are an angel or a human, you are still my brother to me and no one can change that fact."

You smiled at him.

He looked at you straight in the eye and soon became teary. You were shocked when he started sniffing and wiping his tears. You ran to his side and asked him if he was okay. He giggled and nodded.

"I'm just so happy that you accept me for who I am."

"Oppa..." you pulled him into a hug and grinned. "I love you!"

"I love you too, (Y/N)."

••••••••••••••••••<>••••••••••••••••••

You couldn't sleep. Not only because Namjoon was playing the flute but also because you were thinking of what Seokjin told you.

Everything was becoming too complicated and you couldn't arrange it properly. You wanted to also do something for Namjoon but this meant that you would need to know the cause of it.

True Min was the one responsible but there was something more behind it. Something that Namjoon did and also that boy. Min's gift. It seemed that the very problem revolved around those three.

You furrowed your eyebrows together as you concentrated but nothing came out in your head. You groaned and fell back onto your bed. You closed your eyes and let the music sink into your ears.

For some reason, you felt calm when listening to it. The usual intense heart beating was still there but you just enjoyed listening to it.

Your eyes flapped open when the flute sound stopped and you heard a knock on your window. You got up and went to it. You tied the curtain to the side so that it wouldn't get in the way and unlocked the window. You were shocked to see who was there.

"Yo little kitten."

Namjoon appeared with a grin and you backed away so that he could enter. He jumped inside and patted his clothes.

"W-what are you doing here?"

"Since little kitten is always visiting, I decided to pay you a visit in return."

You looked at him amusingly.

"Seems like I don't need a flute to target you."

"Yes yes little kitten. I'm a poor target that belongs to you."

You cleared your throat and tried to hide the smile that was about to form on your lips.

"So, did hyung tell you everything?" he asked as he scanned your room. It was the first time he's been to your room so it was natural.

"Yes except for your side of story. He said to ask you myself."

He nodded his head and went quiet for a while.

"I'm still going to need a bit more time."

"It's okay. I'm not going to force you to say anything you don't feel comfortable."

A huge grin formed on his face and he cupped your face with both of his hand.

"Little kitten is so cute and understanding!"

You felt your face burning hot when he said that. You pressed your lips tightly so that you could at least pretend a bit that you didn't enjoy hearing it.

He let go of your face and ruffled your head which earned him a glare from you. Despite that he didn't stop and continued smiling which soon made you give in and smile back.

He stopped and looked at you in the eyes. You noticed that he seemed to be thinking of something but you couldn't tell. You tilted your head in confusion as he continued studying you.

And all of a sudden, he leaned in and give you a peck on your cheek. It happened too quickly that you didn't know how to react.

He smiled in satisfaction and messed your hair up one last time before heading back to the window.

"Good night, little kitten. Sweet dreams."

••••••••••••••••••<>••••••••••••••••••

It was a Sunday and Sunday meant working at Hoseok's cafe. Hoseok nervously brewed coffee as you intensely stared at him.

"(Y/N)... you will end up burning holes in me if you keep staring at me."

You leaned in closer to him which made him step a few steps back. You looked at him from head to toe and shook your head.

"How is this possible? You are literally a shiny bright Sun."

"My appearance and personality has nothing to do with my job."

"But still..."

He laughed and patted your shoulder.

"You would be even more shocked to see Min-hyung in his true form. He literally looks like an adorable marshmallow."

"No I do not look like a marshmallow."

You and Hoseok jumped backwards and stared at Min who was sitting on the counter top like he owns the place.

"W-when did you arrive, hyung?"

"When you were saying that your job does not concern your appearance."

The two of you formed an 'o' with your lips.

"Hoseokie hyung! Customers are here."

Jimin popped up after guiding the customers to their seat. Jimin decided to help out because he wanted to spend the day with you which you really appreciate.

Jimin always try to make time for you despite being busy with school work and family matters. He's also part of the school's Football team so he had to attend practices. There were barely any days he was free so whenever he did it would often be Sunday and he would join you to help out at the cafe.

His eyes landed on the certain cat that was seated on the table. You noticed his eyes lit up and he ran towards it.

"Min! When did you come?"

He held him in his arms and stroked the cat's head gently. You looked in between the two. Min just meowed back like a normal cat would and you bit your lip to surpass the laughter that was about to roll off your tongue. You glanced at Hoseok who was also struggling to prevent himself from laughing.

Min glared at the two of you and you guys quickly turned away.

••••••••••••••••••<>••••••••••••••••••

It was break and Hoseok made coffee and cookies for you and Jimin. The two of you sat at the window seat as always and just appreciated the presence of each other.

You took a sip of the coffee while Jimin reached for your hand and intertwined his fingers with yours as he looked at you fondly. You smiled at him and placed your chin on your curled fingers of your other free hand.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Because you are beautiful."

You giggled shyly and playfully hit him which made him laugh.

You heard the door creaked open, meaning new customer. You glanced at the door and saw Namjoon and your brother coming in. You watched them head over to Hoseok and Min.

You saw that they were discussing about something but you couldn't hear them since you were seated too far from the counter.

You felt that they were being pretty serious and the atmosphere was getting tensed.

Namjoon nodded his head as he listened to his hyungs and realised that someone was looking at them. He glanced to the side and saw you.

You waved at him and smiled which he did the same. His eyes landed on your hand and you noticed his smile dropped for a bit. You looked at where he was looking and you forgot the fact that Jimin was still holding your hands. You pulled back your hand on instinct.

Jimin looked at you confused.

"Is something wrong?"

"Umm..." you bit your lips and glanced at Namjoon who was staring at you dumbly before turning back to his hyungs. You shook your head and smiled at him. "It's nothing."

"If you say so."

You nodded your head and looked down to stare at your cup as you felt bad to look at Jimin in the eyes. Guilt was rising in you. You couldn't believe that you actually felt weird holding Jimin's hand in front of Namjoon.

'Jimin is your boyfriend not Namjoon,' you reminded yourself.
