"Namjoon," you whispered, closing the book. He only hummed in response as he placed soft kisses on the back of your neck. "What is it, baby?" The sudden nickname caused your eyes to widen, and your face turned red. "U-uh, we need to get back on campus," you whispered, and he frowned.

"Why? The cafe isn't closing until half-past six. We still have three hours," he mumbled against your neck. You were beginning to feel hot. You weren't sure if it was because of the cup of tea you just finished or if it was because of Namjoon.

"Jin said he'd drop off some desserts at the sculpture hall on his way to his class. His class is starting in an hour, and he could stop by anytime from now. I don't want him to go there, and I'm not there."

As if on cue, your phone began to ring, and Jin's name appeared on the screen. "Oh no, I hope he's not there already," you mumbled before answering the call.

The screen was black, and you heard some noise before Jin's face popped up. His hair was messy, and he seemed to have flour all over his face. "Tae, I think that's enou- oh, y/n!" he happily exclaimed, seeing your face. His eyes squinted as he examined the screen before gasping. "And, Joonie? You met each other?" "Who met who now?" You could hear Jimin's voice.

"Are we on speaker?" You asked, and Jin nodded. "Someone, please take the sprinkles away from Tae," you could hear him mutter before the phone was taken from his grasp, and a happy Jungkook appeared on the screen.

"Oh my gosh. Joon's with y/n! Are you guys cuddling?" You winced at the sudden loudness in his voice, and Namjoon chuckled behind you. Although there weren't any customers around you, you lowered the volume, bringing your finger to your lips, indicating to him to speak in a softer tone.

"Yes, we're cuddling, Kookie. We're cuddling in a bookstore slash cafe," Namjoon said. "Give me back my phone, you brat," You could hear Jin smack the back of Jungkook's head, causing him to wince and send his soulmate a glare.

"You could've asked nicely," he grumbled, and Jin rolled his eyes, taking the phone in his hands. "And you could've helped me get a hyper Taehyung under control."

You and Namjoon couldn't help but laugh. "What's going on there, Jin? There seems to be a lot of chaos."

"There is a lot of chaos. That's the reason I called you as well." Jin sent a glare to whoever was in front of him, throwing a few curse words at him.

"I was hoping to work on that treat I promised you, but these three decided they wanted to take over my kitchen. Jimin, Tae and Jungkook wanted to help, and my stupid as fell for their puppy eyes and allowed them to. Which, by the way, was a big mistake because when the three of them are put together, there's always a disaster waiting to follow."

You could hear the giggles of the three boys in the back. "So, unfortunately, instead of making the desserts for you, these three made a mess in my kitchen. It's too late for me to start again, and I have to clean this up before I go, so I'll come by on another day."

You could hear Namjoon whisper a soft 'yes,' causing you to turn and send him a glare. You wanted to spend more time with him, but you also wanted to try Jin's baking.

"Although I was looking forward to trying your sweet treat, it's okay. I can always try your baking another day." "Get those three to help you clean up, Jinnie," Namjoon said.

"Oh, there's no way I'm cleaning without these three. They should be glad that I'm helping them clean up the mess they created." You could hear the three males cackle in the back.

"Anyway, let me leave you two to continue having quality time together. Namjoon, my love, we want details when you get home." Namjoon's cheeks turned red, and he whined, causing Jin to chuckle.

"I love you, Joon," Jin said in a teasing tone, and he mumbled an 'I love you,' back. You giggled at their cute interaction. "Bye y/n, I'll talk to you later." You nodded and gave him a big smile as you waved.

The call ended, and Namjoon immediately let out a sigh of content and buried his face into the crook of your neck. "Let's get back to the book. It was getting interesting."

.

Namjoon happily skipped into their apartment with a big smile on his face, putting his dimples on full display. "I'm home," he sang, closing the door behind him as he took off his shoes.

"I swear if you devoured the poor girl, I'm going to something you," Jimin said, and Namjoon rolled his eyes. "Wow, no: "Hi, babe, I'm glad you're home safe. How was your day? Did you have fun with y/n?" The first thing a get is a useless threat."

"How was your day with y/n?" Jungkook asked, wrapping his arms around his soulmate's waist as he made his way to the living room. "Everything I could've ever wanted."

A smile grew on Jungkook's face. "I'm glad you had a good day," Taehyung said, resting his head on Namjoon's lap as he got comfortable on the couch.

"Where's Hobi and Yoon?" "Yoon's sleeping, and Hobi is on campus, helping some juniours with their upcoming assessment," Jimin said, taking a seat next to Jungkook. He didn't need to ask about Jin. He was working at the bakery.

Namjoon hummed in response and began to run his fingers through Taehyung's hair. "Did the three of you enjoy troubling, Jinnie?" Taehyung nodded. "We had fun making the mess and cleaning it up." "Did you, now?"

Jimin hummed in response as he rested his head on Jungkook's lap. "Yup. We were powering when trying to bake and wet at the end of cleaning. Jungkook wouldn't stop splashing water at us as he did the dishes."

Namjoon smiled. "You three are quite the handful." "And we're going to more of a handful now that we have another maknae joining our line." Jungkook chuckled. He lifted his head off Namjoon's shoulder to place a kiss on his cheek.

"What was that for?" "Do I have to have a reason to kiss my soulmate, hm?" Namjoon shook his head and smiled, leaning in to kiss the younger male. "No, of course, you don't."

"So, do you think we'll be able to be together as the eight of us soon? I wanna add y/n to our group chat." Taehyung asked, and they shrugged. "Hopefully. She met Joonie today, meaning it's just Hobi left. I'm sure once they've met, she'll be comfortable to be with all of us."

"Don't worry, Tae. I know we'll all be together very soon." Jungkook raised a brow. "Why do you say that, Joon?" A smile grew on Namjoon's face as he remembered you mentioning how you were looking for him.

"Turns out, Y/n is as eager as we are. She came to the library hoping to find me, which, as you tell, she did." He chuckled. "I know that she's probably going to look for Hobi tomorrow. She's not going to make him wait," he explained.

"How'd you guys meet?" Jimin asked. "Well, I was looking for a book, and I happened to see a girl struggling to reach for the book she wanted. So I decided to help her. When she turned around to thank me for getting the book, I realised she looked familiar. And surprise, surprise, it was y/n."

"How could you have not recognised her?" Taehyung asked. "Well, the day she stayed the night, I didn't get to properly take in her features, and the following morning I was out before I got to see her."

"But I showed you pictures of her yesterday," he giggled, and Namjoon rolled his eyes. "I don't know, Tae. I just didn't recognise it was her."

"Namjoon," Jimin asked, and he hummed in response. "You didn't attack the poor girl's lips, did you?" Jungkook and Taehyung burst out laughing, causing Namjoon to groan.

"Really, Jimin!?"
