The song I've linked above inspired this little imagine! I hope you guys like it ❤️

Your phone rings, startling you awake. You sit up and brush your hair away from your eyes. It's Namjoon. He's away on tour right now, so you're surprised he's calling you. You answer the call and settle back down into your comforter. "Hey, Namjoon. Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I just can't sleep," he sighs. "Usually concerts wear me out, but for some reason, I can't wind down."

"What's on your mind?" you ask, drawing your knees up.

"It's..." Namjoon chuckles, almost as if he's embarrassed. "I just... I guess I realized something while I've been out here."

"What's that? Are you nervous or something?" You giggle. You're only teasing, of course.

"No," Namjoon laughs. "Ah... I don't even know how to say it." He takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly.

For some reason, your heart skips a beat. You keep quiet; rolling onto your side. It seems like an eternity before Namjoon speaks again.

"I... I guess being on tour made me realize some things. Things I've never even noticed before."

"What do you mean?" Your heart quickens its tempo. "I'm getting a little nervous here, Joonie." You let out a laugh that trembles a little with anxiety. "Just tell me what's on your mind."

"That's just it," Namjoon replies. "I don't know how to say it. I should've thought this through." He shifts in his bed, and you hear something hit the floor although the sound is muffled.

"Hey, how was the concert, anyway?" You decide to spare Namjoon and change the subject. Besides, he'll end up telling you when he's ready. So you'll fill the air with chatter until then.

"The concert? It was fun. ARMY always goes crazy when Jungkook Shoots." Namjoon chuckles. "I have to bring you out to a show sometime."

"I'd like that," you murmur, biting back a smile. "I bet it's fun to see you guys onstage. I've been wanting to see Jin anyway." You press your hand against your mouth to stifle a laugh.

"Jin?" A subtle note of confusion slips into Namjoon's tone, but he pauses for a moment and keeps his tone light. "I'm sure he'd be really happy to see you. I mean, not just him; everyone would be happy to see you. M—"

"Would you be happy to see me, Namjoon?" As soon as the words leave your mouth, you roll over and press your face into your pillow. You're having far too much fun teasing him. You've never heard him sound so flustered. He's usually quite calm and cool.

"... okay if you don't." You tune back in at the end of whatever Namjoon is saying.

"I'm sorry," you shake your head, completely focusing on Namjoon. "What'd you say, Joonie?"

"Wait," Namjoon laughs. "You didn't hear any of what I said?"

"Nope. I'm sorry," you reply. "But I'm listening now, though. You have my full attention."

"Ah," Namjoon sighs. "I don't know whether I should be relieved that you didn't hear all of that or not."

He's quiet for a moment, and when he speaks again, you find yourself holding your breath.

"Alright," he says. "I'll just spit it out this time. We've known each other for a while now, and being on this tour—away from you—made me realize that I may have some feelings for you. You're who I want to see when I finally come home. You're who I lie awake thinking about when I can't sleep at night. I think it'll always be you." Once he's done, Namjoon heaves a deep sigh, as if a heavy weight has been lifted from his shoulders.

You're silent for a moment, and Namjoon's voice sounds hesitantly in your ear. "Y/N? Are you still there?"

You start, a small gasp leaping from your lips as you grasp your phone tighter. "Y-yeah, I'm here." You pause for a moment. "Did you really mean that?"

"I do," Namjoon murmurs. "It's okay if you don't feel the same way about me; I just had to get my feelings out."

You think about your current relationship with Namjoon. You're good friends, yes. But that's just it. You can't imagine yourself being anything other than a friend to him. You've always told yourself that getting into a relationship with a close friend would be something you could never imagine doing. What if you break up, and the friendship is ruined?

"Namjoon," you begin, your voice slipping into a gentle tone. "You're a great friend, and I love you. But I don't want anything to end up ruining our friendship. I'm sorry, but I can't return your feelings." You bite your lip as you wait for him to speak.

"Hey," you can hear the warmth of a smile in Namjoon's voice. "You don't have to apologize. I have to admit, this does sting a little, but I can't hold it against you." He pauses for a moment, and chuckles. "Can we still be friends?"

You feel a lightness in your chest that causes a happy flush to break out across your cheeks. "Of course, Namjoon."

Just a little something that's short and sweet! I hope you guys enjoyed it! ❤️
