#vlive+

The notification pinged across Weverse: “BTS Live — Namjoon & Y/N.” Within seconds, hundreds of thousands of fans were piling into the stream, comment bubbles flying up the screen faster than anyone could possibly read.

You adjusted the phone on the little tripod between you and Namjoon, leaning forward to check the frame. “Okay, we’re good,” you said, giving the camera a small wave. “Hi, ARMY!”

Namjoon tilted his head toward you, his dimple already showing. “You sound like a YouTuber.” “That’s literally how you start every live,” you shot back, smirking.

The chat exploded.

“NAMJOON OPPA 😭😭” “Y/N LOOKS SO PRETTY” “OMG FIRST TIME SEEING THEM LIVE TOGETHER” “The way he’s already looking at her?? hello??”

Namjoon leaned closer to the phone to read the comments, his shoulder brushing against yours. He didn’t move back. “'First time seeing us live together,’” he read aloud, his deep voice mimicking a dramatic announcer. Then, quieter, he added, “Guess they’re about to find out how chaotic you are when there’s no editing.”

You scoffed, nudging him with your elbow. “You’re the chaotic one. I’m just here to keep things calm.”

“Calm?” He arched a brow, eyes glinting. “You? No, you’re dangerous. You act all sweet and then—” He broke off with a laugh, shaking his head like he’d said too much.

The comments picked up on it instantly.

“DANGEROUS??? What does he mean by that 👀👀👀” “Namjoon pls elaborate.” “Y/N is blushing STOPPPP”

You pressed your lips together, trying not to smile at the way your cheeks warmed. “Don’t listen to him. He’s exaggerating.”

Namjoon rested his chin on his hand, deliberately leaning in closer to your side so the camera framed both of you in a snug shot. “I never exaggerate.”

That earned him a roll of your eyes, though you couldn’t help noticing how his knee brushed yours under the low table.

For a while, the two of you answered questions from the chat. Namjoon’s baritone carried most of the conversation, and every so often he’d add little asides—“Tell them about what you did in practice yesterday” or “Show them your bracelet, it’s cute”—in a way that made you hyperaware of how close he was sitting.

Then came the moment that sent the chat spiraling.

“Namjoon, Y/N, what are you both listening to lately?” one fan asked.

You were about to answer when Namjoon interrupted smoothly, “I’ve been listening to her playlist.” He tilted his head toward you, smiling as if it was the most natural thing in the world. “She has good taste.”

Your jaw dropped a little. “You—wait, since when have you been stealing my playlist?”

He gave a small shrug, casual. “Since you left your speaker connected to the dorm Wi-Fi.”

“NAMJOON LISTENS TO HER PLAYLIST?? 😳” “That’s boyfriend behavior, idc.” “We see the way he looks at her rn 😭😭😭”

You covered your face with your hands, groaning dramatically. “I can’t believe you admitted that on live.”

He chuckled low in his throat, and when you peeked through your fingers, you caught the mischievous glint in his eyes. “What? You should be proud. I only steal from people I admire.”

There was a beat of silence where you weren’t sure if he was teasing or serious. The comments filled it in for you.

“ADMIRE??? HELLO??” “he’s not even subtle anymore 😭” “y/n say somethingggg she’s just giggling”

You smacked his arm lightly, trying to cover your flustered laugh. “Stop making it sound weird.”

Namjoon only smiled wider, clearly satisfied that he’d thrown you off balance. His hand lingered for a moment where you’d smacked him, then slowly dropped back to his lap—but not before brushing against yours.

As the live rolled on, Namjoon got more comfortable leaning toward you, shoulders bumping whenever he shifted. The chat kept calling it out, spamming rows of “👀👀👀” and “they’re so close???”

At one point, while you were talking about your upcoming schedule, a strand of hair slipped loose near your cheek. Without hesitation, Namjoon reached over and tucked it gently behind your ear. His fingertips brushed your skin, light enough to make you shiver.

The entire comment section went feral.

“DID HE JUST—??” “THE HAIR TUCK 🫠🫠🫠” “Namjoon, we see youuuuuu”

You blinked at him, caught off guard, your words stumbling for a moment. “…Uh, yeah, so… I guess we’ll be rehearsing a lot this week.”

Namjoon gave you a knowing look, like he could see right through your attempt at composure. “Don’t be nervous,” he murmured just loud enough for the mic to pick up.

And with that, Part 1 ended—with the comments still flooding in, the tension simmering just below the surface, and the unmistakable feeling that Namjoon wasn’t about to let up anytime soon.

The live had been going for less than half an hour, and already the comments were filled with chaotic theories.

“is this a vlive or a DATE??” “Namjoon, stop touching her 😭😭😭” “Y/N IS BLUSHING SO BAD RN” “We need subtitles bc the tension is unreal.”

You tried to ignore them, focusing instead on reading questions off the screen. “Okay, let’s see… Ah, someone asked what our favorite comfort foods are.”

“Easy,” Namjoon said without hesitation. “Her banana bread.”

You whipped your head toward him, incredulous. “Excuse me? That’s not even a comfort food, that’s just something I bake sometimes.”

“Exactly,” he countered, that smug grin creeping onto his face. “Which makes it comforting. You bake it when the dorm feels too quiet. You bake it when one of us looks stressed. Tell me I’m wrong.”

Your lips parted, caught between laughing and protesting, but the comments erupted before you could speak.

“he pays ATTENTION to her habits 🥺” “This man is so whipped it’s embarrassing (for me)” “bananabread supremacy”

Namjoon leaned in, shoulder pressing to yours again. “What’s yours, then?”

You were still flustered, trying to mask it with a shrug. “Ramyeon, I guess. Simple.”

He nodded, thoughtful, and then smirked. “Figures. You like things that heat up fast.”

Your head snapped toward him, scandalized, but he was already laughing at his own double meaning. “Namjoon!”

“HE DID NOT JUST SAY THAT 😭😭😭” “This live is rated 18+ for the tension alone.” “They’re not even hiding it anymore.”

You shoved at his arm, but he only leaned closer, lowering his voice like he was letting you in on a secret. “What? I meant cooking-wise.”

The gleam in his eyes said otherwise.

A little later, you reached for your water bottle, only to find Namjoon’s hand already gripping it. You froze, your fingers brushing against his as he passed it to you.

“Sorry,” he said smoothly, though he didn’t pull away immediately. His thumb grazed your knuckles before he finally let go.

“Thanks,” you mumbled, hoping your voice didn’t sound as shaky as it felt.

The chat had no mercy.

“THE HAND TOUCH” “his thumb lingered. HIS THUMB LINGERED.” “idc what anyone says, this is flirting”

You took a sip, avoiding Namjoon’s gaze, but he was watching you with that maddening half-smile. When you set the bottle down, he leaned toward the camera. “She always forgets to drink water, so I’m just making sure she stays hydrated.”

“Don’t make it sound like you’re my babysitter,” you muttered.

“Not babysitter.” His voice dipped lower, warm and steady. “More like… reminder.”

Something about the way he said it sent goosebumps down your arms. You had to glance back at the comments just to distract yourself.

Another question popped up on screen: “Who’s the most competitive in games?”

You laughed, grateful for the shift. “Oh, that’s easy. Me.”

Namjoon made a noise of disbelief. “You? No way. I’ve seen you lose Mario Kart and sulk for three days.”

“That’s called being passionate,” you argued.

He shook his head, chuckling. “No, that’s called being a sore loser.”

You gasped dramatically, smacking his thigh without thinking. “Take that back!”

The sound was soft, but the way his muscles tensed under your hand sent heat rushing to your face. You started to pull your hand back, but Namjoon casually rested his palm over yours, trapping it there for just a second too long.

The chat exploded.

“HER HAND IS ON HIS LEG. HIS HAND IS ON HERS. BYE.” “they’re touching like we can’t SEE 😭” “Namjoon, ur mic is on, we can hear ur heart beating, bro.”

You yanked your hand back quickly, eyes wide. “You’re insufferable.”

“And yet,” he murmured, leaning closer until his shoulder pressed firmly into yours, “you keep sitting next to me.”

As the minutes passed, you realized Namjoon had no intention of easing up. He laughed louder at your jokes than necessary, clapped his hand over yours when you tried to scroll through questions, and leaned so close that at times you swore his breath brushed your temple.

The chat started begging for answers.

“Are they dating???” “pls blink twice if ur secretly in love.” “Namjoon, stop or I will literally pass out.”

“Look at this,” you said, pointing at the comments to deflect. “ARMY thinks you’re being suspicious.”

“Suspicious?” Namjoon repeated, feigning innocence. He leaned toward the camera, dimple deepening. “I’m just being friendly.”

“Friendly?” You arched a brow, unable to hide your disbelief.

He looked back at you, gaze steady. “Very friendly.”

Something in your chest stuttered at the way he said it. The chat noticed too.

“VERY FRIENDLY IS CRAZY 😭😭😭” “he’s actually doing this on purpose and i love him for it” “someone stop them before i combust”

Then came the final straw for the fans.

You were laughing at something silly Namjoon said when he suddenly reached out and brushed a crumb from the corner of your lips. His thumb lingered for half a heartbeat too long before he pulled back casually, like it was nothing.

Your breath caught, eyes locking on his. For a moment, the room felt too quiet, the only sound the faint buzz of comments flying past.

“THE CRUMB. THE CRUMB.” “nah he’s GONE this is boyfriend energy 100%” “why is no one talking abt the way she froze?? they both froze???”

You scrambled for composure, laughing awkwardly. “Thanks… I guess.”

Namjoon smiled like he knew exactly what he was doing. “Anytime.”

By the time the live hit the hour mark, the chat was spiraling into chaos, and you could barely focus on answering questions without feeling the weight of Namjoon’s presence pressed against your side.

It was impossible to tell if he was doing it all intentionally or if this was just… him. But judging by the sly curve of his mouth every time you stumbled over your words, you had a sinking suspicion he knew exactly the effect he was having on you.

And the worst part? The fans knew it too.

The live had been running for over an hour, but neither of you seemed ready to stop. The comments were flying faster than ever, the stream buzzing with speculation.

“we’re witnessing HISTORY” “namjoon’s flirting is off the charts rn” “y/n you are STRONG for not combusting” “pls i can’t breathe they’re so close”

You leaned back against the couch, stretching your arms overhead. “Okay, we’ve answered like fifty questions. Maybe we should—”

“Not yet,” Namjoon interrupted smoothly, tugging at your sleeve to keep you close to the camera. “They’re still asking things. Don’t you want to give ARMY what they want?”

Your mouth opened to argue, but the way his fingers lingered around your wrist silenced you. He didn’t let go right away, his thumb brushing over your pulse like he was absentmindedly tracing it.

The chat exploded.

“HE’S HOLDING HER WRIST” “that’s so intimate wtf” “they think we’re blind???”

Finally, he released you with a little grin, settling back as if nothing had happened. “See? They’re enjoying this.”

You crossed your arms, trying to act unaffected. “You’re enjoying this.”

Namjoon tilted his head, eyes glinting. “Maybe I am.”

Another question popped up: “What’s the most embarrassing thing that’s happened to you on stage?”

You laughed, immediately recalling a memory. “Oh, that time I tripped during ‘Mic Drop’ rehearsal and dragged Hoseok down with me.”

Namjoon chuckled, his hand instinctively reaching out to squeeze your knee as you spoke. “I remember that. You were so flustered you couldn’t stop apologizing for an hour.”

The warmth of his palm burned through the fabric of your jeans. He left it there casually, like it belonged, like fans weren’t currently spamming the chat with all caps.

“HIS HAND IS ON HER KNEE I REPEAT” “bro is TOUCHY AF” “is this allowed?? be honest”

You glanced at his hand, then back at him, raising an eyebrow. “You’re very… tactile today.”

“Am I?” he asked innocently, but the way his thumb tapped lightly against your knee betrayed him.

“Yes,” you said firmly, though your voice betrayed a waver.

He leaned closer, his smirk subtle but devastating. “Maybe I just like having you near me.”

The room felt too hot. You tried to laugh it off, but it came out awkward, thin.

At one point, Namjoon shifted closer to grab his phone charger. The movement brought him so near that his thigh pressed flush against yours, no space left between.

You stiffened, hyperaware of every point of contact. He noticed, of course, he noticed, and his lips curved into that infuriating smirk.

“You’re so jumpy,” he murmured, voice low.

“I’m not,” you whispered back, though the tremor in your tone betrayed you.

The comments were screaming.

“I FEEL LIKE I SHOULDN’T BE HERE” “is this a live or a fanfic happening in real time???” “namjoon pls keep it PG”

He leaned back slightly, only enough to give you a breath of space, though his arm draped casually along the back of the couch—close enough that his fingertips brushed your shoulder whenever he moved.

The live rolled on with more questions, though half of ARMY seemed to have abandoned curiosity in favor of spamming theories.

“Namjoon hyung is so whipped 😭” “he’s soft for her, i can tell” “i ship it idc”

Then a bold question appeared: “Who in BTS gives the best hugs?”

Namjoon read it aloud, then glanced at you, a challenge in his eyes. “What do you think?”

You hesitated. “Honestly? Jungkook. He hugs like he means it.”

Namjoon gasped dramatically, clutching his chest. “Betrayal!”

You laughed, but he wasn’t done. Leaning closer, he wrapped one arm briefly around your shoulders and pulled you in, just enough to make your breath hitch.

“Tell me this isn’t better,” he teased.

Your face burned as you froze against his side, the smell of his cologne dizzying. He let you go after only a second, but the memory lingered on your skin.

The chat combusted.

“HE JUST HUGGED HER ON LIVE” “did y’all see her face omg” “namjoon u sly fox”

You cleared your throat, trying to focus. “It’s… fine, I guess.”

“Fine?” His eyebrow lifted, feigning offense. “You wound me.”

You avoided his gaze, hoping the camera wasn’t catching how red your cheeks had gotten.

As the night wore on, Namjoon’s antics grew subtler but no less intense: brushing invisible lint from your sleeve, adjusting the mic near your collar, leaning so close that his voice rumbled low beside your ear.

Every time, the chat noticed.

“THE WHISPERS” “this is insane, why are we witnessing this” “can’t breathe help”

Then came the moment that nearly tipped everything over the edge.

You were reading a fan comment aloud when Namjoon shifted beside you, his hand coming up to rest lightly against the back of your neck. The touch was casual, almost protective, but the heat of it sent your words stumbling.

You blinked at the screen, forgetting entirely what you were about to say.

Namjoon leaned closer, his lips near your ear, and murmured, “You okay?”

The chat collectively lost their minds.

“HAND ON HER NECK BYE” “This is officially too much.” “NAMJOON STOP WHISPERING”

You nodded quickly, your throat dry. “Y-Yeah. Just… lost my train of thought.”

His thumb brushed lightly against your skin before he pulled back, expression unreadable.

By now, the air in the room felt charged, thick with everything unspoken. Fans were begging for answers, demanding clarity, but you could barely form words under the weight of Namjoon’s steady presence beside you.

And he seemed to know it. Every smile, every lingering touch, every murmur felt deliberate—like he was daring you, and everyone watching, to acknowledge the spark crackling between you.

You weren’t sure how much longer you could hold out.

The clock on the wall ticked past ninety minutes, but neither of you moved to end the live. ARMY, if anything, seemed even more energized.

“pls don’t end this ever.” “I canceled my plans for this live idc” “We’re literally intruding on a date rn” “i’ve never felt like such a third wheel before”

Namjoon stretched his long legs out in front of him, settling deeper into the couch. His arm was still draped along the back, dangerously close to your shoulder.

“Y/N gets tired before I do,” he told the chat casually, though his eyes flicked toward you. “I’ll know when it’s time to stop.”

You shot him a look. “Stop acting like you can read me.”

“I can,” he said simply. “Better than anyone.”

The weight of his words made your stomach flip. You covered it quickly with a teasing scoff. “You think so?”

He leaned just close enough that the camera probably caught the proximity. “I know so.”

The chat screamed.

“What does he MEAN better than anyone 😭😭😭” “this is CONFESSION behavior” “they’re testing my blood pressure fr”

Someone asked in the comments: “What do you two do when you hang out off camera?”

You blinked, caught off guard. “Um… practice? Eat? Sometimes we just sit in the studio and do nothing.”

Namjoon hummed like he was considering. “She doesn’t tell you the real stuff,” he teased the camera. “Like how she falls asleep with her head on my shoulder when we watch movies.”

Your jaw dropped. “Namjoon!”

He only grinned wider. “What? It’s cute. You even snore sometimes.”

“I do not!”

“You do.” His chuckle was low, warm, and entirely too self-satisfied.

The comments flooded in.

“HE EXPOSED HER SLEEP HABITS” “head on his shoulder??????” “do y’all realize what he just admitted”

You groaned, hiding your face in your hands. “Why are you like this?”

Namjoon leaned down, voice softening. “Because it makes you smile like that.”

Your heart stuttered. You dropped your hands quickly, trying to move on before the chat combusted again.

Later, you read aloud another question: “What’s one thing you admire about each other?”

You hesitated. “Do we have to answer that?”

“Yes,” Namjoon said firmly, grinning at the comments. “They asked.”

You bit your lip, thinking. “Fine. I admire… the way he’s always honest. Even when it’s not easy.”

The chat spammed hearts.

Namjoon’s smile softened, genuine for a moment. “Thanks.” Then he looked at you, gaze steady. “I admire the way you make people feel comfortable. Even me.”

The sincerity in his tone caught you off guard. Your chest tightened, warmth spreading, and you had to look away before the camera betrayed too much.

The comments were ruthless.

“NO CUZ THAT WAS REAL” “why did the whole room shift just now” “namjoon say sike right now”

The tension only grew worse when a fan asked for aegyo.

“Show them, Y/N,” Namjoon teased, nudging you.

“No way.”

“Yes way. They’re begging.” He tilted the phone so the comments were visible. Indeed, fans were spamming demands for aegyo.

You groaned. “I’m not doing it alone.”

“Fine,” he said smoothly. “Then we’ll do it together.”

Before you could protest, he leaned closer, his cheek brushing yours as he posed exaggeratedly for the camera. The sudden contact made your body go rigid, a flush rising to your skin.

The chat lost it.

“CHEEK TO CHEEK????” “this live should be illegal” “i just screamed into my pillow”

You burst out laughing, shoving him lightly. “You’re insufferable.”

Namjoon’s dimple deepened. “But you’re smiling.”

The live stretched toward two hours, and the fans showed no sign of leaving.

“ARMY has stamina,” Namjoon remarked, scanning the flood of hearts and emojis. “Almost as much as you.”

You frowned. “As much as me?”

He chuckled softly. “You’ve been sitting here with me all this time, haven’t you?”

The implication made your heart thump. You glanced at him, trying to decipher the playful tone in his voice. “You’re acting like that’s hard.”

“Isn’t it?” he asked quietly, eyes locking with yours.

The comments blurred into a wall of screaming emojis.

You opened your mouth, then closed it, unable to answer. The silence stretched too long before you finally laughed it off, waving at the screen. “ARMY, he’s being weird again.”

Then came the almost.

You were leaning toward the camera to read a question when Namjoon shifted beside you. His hand came up, fingers brushing your jaw as he turned your face back toward him—gently, deliberately.

The world seemed to narrow to just that touch. His gaze dipped briefly, almost imperceptibly, toward your lips before rising again to meet your eyes.

Your breath caught.

So did the chat.

“HE ALMOST KISSED HER” “NO WAY NO WAY NO WAY” “i need oxygen someone help”

Namjoon’s thumb grazed your cheekbone before he pulled back, smiling as if nothing had happened. “Sorry, you had something on your face.”

You blinked rapidly, your pulse racing. “R-right. Thanks.”

The comments were unhinged.

“SOMETHING ON HER FACE, MY ASS” “he’s doing this ON PURPOSE” “ARMY are you breathing bc i’m not”

By the time the clock ticked past two hours, the room felt thick with everything unsaid. Namjoon leaned back at last, giving the camera a lazy smile.

“They’re still watching,” he said softly, almost to himself.

“They always watch,” you replied, your voice quieter than intended.

The unspoken words between you were louder than the comments filling the screen.

Two hours and twenty minutes. That was how long the live had been running, yet the comments still scrolled so fast they blurred into a wall of emojis and all caps.

“I HAVE WORK TOMORROW, BUT I CAN’T LEAVE” “we’re witnessing something historic fr” “The tension is so thick u could cut it with a knife.” “Namjoon’s gonna break the internet at this rate.”

Namjoon stretched, rolling his shoulders, then glanced at you with a sly smile. “They’re still here. Guess we have to give them a show.”

You laughed nervously, trying to play it off. “You’re acting like this is a concert.”

“In a way, it is,” he replied smoothly. His gaze lingered on you longer than the camera. “Just… a private one.”

The chat combusted.

“PRIVATE ONE?? NAMJOON???” “do u hear yourself rn” “he is TOO BOLD”

You decided to steer the conversation back to safer ground. “Okay, how about we answer something simple—like favorite colors or—”

“Favorite person,” Namjoon interrupted.

Your jaw dropped. “That’s not—no one asked that!”

“They should have.” He leaned closer, dimples flashing. “Mine’s obvious anyway.”

The room tilted. You scrambled for words, but he didn’t clarify, leaving it dangling in the air for both you and ARMY to interpret.

The chat went feral.

“FAVORITE PERSON??????????” “he didn’t deny it was her omg” “y/n blink twice if you need help rn”

A little later, you were scrolling through questions when Namjoon suddenly caught your wrist, holding it steady so the phone tilted back toward him.

“You’re hogging the screen,” he teased, his thumb brushing your pulse again. “They want to see both of us.”

“They’re literally seeing both of us,” you argued, tugging lightly.

But he didn’t let go. Not right away. Instead, he traced a circle against your skin, his touch feather-light but deliberate.

The chat shrieked.

“WHY IS HE HOLDING HER WRIST AGAIN?” “sir this is so intimate” “y/n is literally frozen rn help”

Finally, he released you, chuckling at your expression. “See? Now they’re happy.”

You tried to breathe evenly, ignoring the way your pulse hammered where his thumb had been.

The peak came when a fan asked: “Can you two sing something together?”

Namjoon grinned at you. “ARMY wants a duet.”

You hesitated. “I don’t know if—”

“C’mon,” he coaxed, voice warm and low. “Just a little.”

He started humming the chorus of a BTS ballad, his deep tone filling the room. Reluctantly, you joined in, your voice softer but weaving naturally with his.

The harmony hung in the air, achingly beautiful, almost too intimate for a livestream. When you faltered halfway through, embarrassed, Namjoon leaned in, his forehead nearly touching yours as he kept singing.

Your breath caught.

The chat exploded.

“THE WAY THEIR FACES ALMOST TOUCHED” “I CAN’T DO THIS ANYMORE” “namjoon is trying to kill us live on camera”

When the song ended, the silence that followed felt charged, the both of you staring at each other for a second too long.

Namjoon broke it with a chuckle, though his eyes were still locked on yours. “Not bad.”

“Not bad yourself,” you murmured, your voice weaker than intended.

Minutes later, as the live crept toward three hours, Namjoon shifted behind you, stretching his arm across the back of the couch until his hand rested against the back of your neck again. The weight was light, familiar by now, but no less electrifying.

“Still comfortable?” he asked softly, almost just for you.

You nodded, though your throat was dry. “Y-Yeah.”

“Good.” His thumb stroked once, absentmindedly, before he pulled back.

The chat lost it.

“STOP STROKING HER NECK NAMJOON” “idk how y/n is alive rn” “this is not even subtle anymore”

The final straw for ARMY came when you leaned forward to fix the phone’s angle. Namjoon steadied it with you, his hand sliding over yours on the tripod. Neither of you moved for a beat too long, fingers tangled briefly before you snatched your hand back.

Namjoon smiled knowingly. “Clumsy.”

“You did that on purpose,” you accused, flustered.

“Did I?” he asked, all innocence, though the glint in his eyes betrayed him.

The comments blurred into chaos.

“HAND OVER HAND MOMENT” “ARMY are u breathing bc I’m not” “they’re toeing the line SO hard”

The live had gone on so long that both of you were visibly tired, though neither seemed ready to end it. The air felt too thick, every small touch amplified, every word charged.

Namjoon finally glanced at the time, sighing. “We should… probably stop before they stage an intervention.”

The chat spammed desperate pleas.

“NO DON’T LEAVE” “pls just one more hour 😭” “if u end this live now, i will cry”

You exhaled, relieved and disappointed all at once. “Guess so.”

Namjoon leaned toward the camera, dimples flashing. “Thanks for staying with us, ARMY. Sleep well.”

Then, almost as an afterthought, he glanced at you, his voice dropping lower. “You too.”

The warmth in his tone left you speechless. You could only smile awkwardly at the screen, heart racing as the live finally clicked off.

But even as the phone went dark, the tension lingered—unspoken, undeniable, and impossible to forget.

The quiet was deafening. No hearts, no comments, no emojis—just your own pulse hammering in your ears.

You tried to laugh it off. “Well… ARMY’s never letting us live this down.”

Namjoon didn’t laugh. He leaned back against the couch, dark eyes fixed on you, lips tugged into a smirk that was all teeth and danger.

“You were shaking,” he said softly, like a fact, not an accusation. “Every time I touched you. Think I didn’t notice?”

Your breath caught. “We were live.”

“That’s the only thing that kept me from doing this sooner.”

Namjoon's hand gripped your wrist, tugging you forward until you toppled onto his lap. You gasped, thighs straddling one of his, his other hand already sliding across your lower back, keeping you there. 

The friction of your body against his thigh sent sparks of pleasure through you, making you squirm.

"Joon—" Your protest was swallowed as his mouth crashed onto yours. His tongue slid against yours, hungry and wet, his teeth tugging your bottom lip until you moaned into him. He groaned back, low and rough, his thigh flexing deliberately beneath you.

The friction stole your breath. Without thinking, you rocked against him, fabric dragging, pressure sparking heat low in your belly. Namjoon stilled—then let out a dark chuckle against your lips. "That's it. Knew you'd move for me."

His hand gripped your waist tight, guiding your hips into another slow grind against his thigh. You gasped, clutching his shirt, the muscles in his leg shifting perfectly under you. "Fuck," he muttered when you whined, his mouth dropping to your neck, kissing hot and open-mouthed down your throat. "You sound so good."

Your nails dug into his shoulders as he kissed higher, sucking just below your ear, making you shiver. His free hand slid boldly beneath your shirt, splayed over the heat of your skin. His thumb stroked teasing circles under the swell of your breast, just shy of more.

"You're so fucking sexy," he growled, his voice rough with desire. "Imagine the live was still on and all of ARMY was here to see you grind your pussy on my thigh like a slut."

His words sent a wave of heat through you, making you whimper and tilt your hips harder against him. He groaned in response, hips rolling up into yours, the unmistakable press of his arousal grinding against your thigh.

"Joon," you gasped, half warning, half plea.

"Say it again," he growled, kissing you hard, messy, wet. Between kisses, his words came rough, strained. "Say my name while you move on me."

Heat pooled in your stomach, the friction sharper now as he pressed you harder against his thigh, his own hips snapping up to meet yours. The sound that tore from your throat was muffled by his mouth, but he swallowed it greedily, his groan echoing yours.

His hand under your shirt slipped higher, brushing the underside of your bra before he stopped himself with a strangled curse. His forehead dropped to yours, both of you panting, his thumb still stroking your bare ribs like he couldn't let go.

"Imagine they could see how wet you are for me," he rasped, his voice thick with lust. "How you're riding my thigh like you can't get enough."

You swallowed, trembling, your body aching with need. "Then don't stop," you whispered, your voice breathless.

He groaned, dragging you into another bruising kiss, hips grinding up once, twice, enough to make your whole body jolt. His control was hanging by a thread—you could feel it in the way his hands clutched you, the way his kisses turned frantic, almost desperate.

Finally, he ripped his mouth from yours, chest heaving, lips swollen and wet. His smirk was shaky now, his voice raw when he rasped, "Guess ARMY was right about the tension. They just had no idea how close we were to snapping."

You collapsed against him, your body trembling with the aftermath of your pleasure, your breath coming in short, sharp gasps. Namjoon held you close, his arms wrapped around you, his heart beating against yours. You snuggled into his embrace, a contented sigh escaping your lips.

"Was that okay?" he asked softly, his voice filled with tenderness. "Did I push too far?"

You shook your head, a small smile playing on your lips. "It was perfect," you murmured. "You were perfect."

They lay there for a while, basking in the afterglow, their bodies entwined, their hearts full. Namjoon traced lazy patterns on your skin, his touch soothing, comforting. You snuggled closer, your eyes fluttering closed, a contented sigh escaping your lips.

"I could stay like this forever," you murmured, your voice drowsy.

Namjoon chuckled, a low, rumbling sound. "Me too," he said, his voice filled with warmth. "But for now, let's just enjoy the moment."
