I looked at him with a still-obviously surprised expression. Namjoon's eyes were big for a moment but then they changed to crescent shapes once he beamed with a smile, showing off his dimples while at it. He nodded animatedly. moonwritesfics

"Oh my god! It really is you!" I exclaimed while jumping with joy and ran towards the guy. Without thinking, I engulfed him into a big bear hug and he wrapped his arms around me and tightened his grasp securely.

"I can't believe it!" I could feel tears were building up in my eyes. "It's been so long, huh?" he chuckled and caressed my back.

Namjoon was actually one of my closest friends back then when we were in college, pursuing our degree. He's the definition of the saying 'a friend in need is a friend indeed'. He was there with me through thick and thin, trying our best to survive college years. moonwritesfics

However, he was offered a job overseas right after our finals so I haven't seen him ever since. We could only keep up with each other on social media, but that too wasn't really much of a help since the both of us are the kinds who would rarely share things online.

"Why are you here?" I asked and broke off the hug. "I finally got transferred to Seoul!" he revealed, with utter excitement. "No, what I meant was-," I was trying to clarify but my words were being cut off by someone.

"Babe, you could've at least waited for me until I parked the car properly," a woman's voice was heard which made my eyes widen instantly once I could recognize it. "Jisoo?!" I shrieked.

"Oh my god! Y/n?!" she exclaimed and ran towards me. We hugged like there's no tomorrow. Jisoo was my then roommate, whom Namjoon had asked me to set him up with during our final year.

"Glad to know that you two are still going strong!" I chuckled looking at the both of them. Jisoo looked at Namjoon with a wide smile and he nodded to her as if he was granting her permission. moonwritesfics

Jisoo immediately grabbed both of my hands in hers and brought them upwards. She then pointed to them with her lips. I frowned, not getting it but she winked at me and shook her hands a little which made my eyes unknowingly look towards the back of her hands.

My mouth went agape once I saw the big stone on her ring finger. "You're engaged?!" My face snapped up to hers. She was still grinning ear to ear. "He finally puts a ring on it! Literally yesterday before our flight back home," Jisoo admitted with a smile.

"Ahem," Mrs. Kim faked a cough. "Aunty!" Namjoon nervously chuckled and walked towards the elder lady and gave her a hug. "So good to see you!" He expressed and broke off the hug. moonwritesfics

"We're actually in the middle of a discussion here," Mrs. Kim raised an eyebrow at me which made me realize that the serious discussion wasn't done yet.

"Sorry," I apologized with sheer embarrassment and quickly took my seat once again.

"What discussion?" Namjoon frowned. "Your cousins are getting married as well, remember?" Mrs. Kim reminded him which made him nod. He observed the room and gasped loudly when he came to the realization.

"Y/n-ah! We're going to be cousins?!" He exaggeratingly placed both his hands on his cheeks which made me bite my lip trying not to react to his playful over reaction.

"Why don't you and Jisoo take your seats and join us then," Mr. Kim suggested and the couple followed through. Jin and Taehyung both stood up to greet their cousin. Namjoon greeted them by exchanging brotherly hugs. Irene was being introduced to him and Jisoo as well. moonwritesfics

"So, the initial plan was Jin to marry Irene, and Taehyung with y/n," Mrs. Kim clarified once again in order for Namjoon and Jisoo to understand the whole situation after the both of them had sat down.

"What? Taehyung and y/n?!" Namjoon exclaimed. I could tell that his tone was enveloped with a little disbelief. "Yah! Don't interrupt me, boy," Mrs. Kim shot him a glare. "Sorry," he mumbled shyly.

"Anyway, we finally know that Taehyung and Irene is actually together, so they're going to get married instead," Mrs. Kim continued.

"So... Jin and y/n..." She said and every eye in the room shifted to us. "What is your plan?" Mrs. Kim asked with genuine curiosity. "We actually..." Jin started and he grabbed my hand in front of everyone which made Mr. and Mrs. Kim's eyes widened and gasps left their mouths in the process. "Well, we decided to give us a try," Jin stated. moonwritesfics

"Really?!" Mrs. Kim almost shouted which made me and Jin chuckled, looking at her surprised facial expression. "I mean... Are you sure? Won't it be... I don't know... Weird for you? To be switching partners like this?" Mrs. Kim added with a frown.

I looked at Jin and he was already looking at me, giving me a loving smile filled with confidence. I coyly smiled back and looked down to the empty plate in front of me. I felt my face was turning red.

"We're sure mom. Plus... I mean, we kind of have actually met before the engagement," Jin revealed, which made my eyes widen with panic. We didn't have any discussion on revealing our secret. Well, at least not just yet.

"What?!" everyone exclaimed in unison. "I actually met y/n a few weeks prior to the meeting with Irene and her parents," Jin continued. I gripped his hand tighter, hinting that he should stop because it was a little too embarrassing. moonwritesfics

"Where did you two meet?" Namjoon asked, being the busybody that he was. "At the supermarket," Jin replied. "Y/n's go-to place," Namjoon laughed and I glared at him.

"What? You love the snacks aisle and that's a fact," he stuck a tongue out at me. I wanted to laugh at his silliness but I had to hold it in.

"Honestly, I didn't think I would be able to see her again. I mean, I didn't even get the chance to ask for her name that day," Jin revealed more.

"Well... Everything happens for a reason," Mrs. Kim pointed out. "And you know what? I'm really happy that everything is finally falling into place now," she smiled at me and Jin.

"And I'm glad y/n ended up with Jin," Namjoon blurted out which made every person look at him. "Would be weird if y/n ended up with Tae... I don't think they-," he couldn't even finish his sentence because Jisoo already hit his upper arm to ensure that he won't be able to do so. moonwritesfics

"Anyways..." Mr. Kim suddenly opened his mouth to stop any further discussions. "Let's eat!" he exclaimed and everyone suddenly burst into happy chatter as they started to focus on getting food on their plates.

I finally was able to catch up with Jisoo and Namjoon during dinner. It turns out that the Kims were the relatives that he would always go visit during semester break when we were studying.

"Hyung, remember that time when I visited you guys during my break... And I kinda want to set you up with my friend and you said 'no'?" Namjoon said to Jin and made his older cousin chuckle. moonwritesfics

"You didn't even want to see her picture too," Namjoon added. "I've told you I wasn't interested at that time," Jin reminded the younger lad. "Nor am I interested now," Jin said and let out a chuckle afterwards.

"Well... I think the latter because that friend of mine is sitting next to you," Namjoon casually said without even looking at the guy and continued stuffing his mouth with more food. Jin's eyes instantly met mine.

He held my hand and caressed my knuckles with his thumb. "Huh... If only I knew," he smiled at me and the butterflies in my stomach went wild once again.

But then I realized something. "Wait, Namjoon-ah," I frowned and the guy looked at me. "You wanted to secretly set me up with someone when we were in college?!" I raised my voice a little. moonwritesfics

"Hey! You always complained that you wanted to escape going on blind dates with your parent's choice," Namjoon snapped. "And you helped me get her," he added while pointing at Jisoo. "So I thought I could help you too," he added.

"Umm... Everyone... I think it's getting late," Taehyung suddenly voiced out loud which made everyone turn silent. "Oh my... it is!" Mrs. Kim said after she took a glance at the clock.

"Irene has a photoshoot tomorrow so I have to send her back," Taehyung added and Irene got up from her chair. moonwritesfics

"I'll send you back too," Jin suddenly suggested to me.

"Oh, but my car is at Tae's apartment, though," I looked at Jin rather apologetically. "Don't worry. I can send you there since Tae has to send Irene first," he insisted.

"Why is your car at Tae's apartment?" Jisoo asked.

"Kind of a long story," I said, not really wanting to elaborate. "Shorten it then!" She giggled. "Maybe next time when we hang out," I smiled at her. moonwritesfics

We all thanked Mr. and Mrs. Kim and all of us parted ways after saying our goodbyes.

Jin drove me to Taehyung's apartment and dropped me off at my car. He went down from his car with me and made sure I entered my car safely. I revved up the engine to warm it up. Jin knocked on my window and gestured to me to roll it down and I did. moonwritesfics

"Umm... y/n... I know everything was so sudden," Jin said as he rubbed the back of his neck. "I hope you're not overwhelmed with everything that's going on," he added quite nervously. "No... I'm actually happy with how everything turned out to be," I smiled at him, giving some assurance.

"Umm... So... Since it's going to be the weekend soon..." he said and paused which made me raise my eyebrows at him. "Do you... By any chance..." he paused some more and made me anxious by the silences in between. "Umm... Well," he bit his bottom lip. "Yes, Jin?" I asked him as I wanted him to finish what he wanted to say. moonwritesfics

"Would you like to go on a date with me?" Jin blurted out the question.

"I would love to."
