Namjoon and I take on the night while Jungkook has his consultation with the sultan, along with Jimin and Hoseok.

It's been hours.

I wonder what they're talking about.

So it seems I've mistranslated Namjoon's true intentions when he said he wanted to go out in the evening.

We hit the library and he's sucked in.

I'm obviously not a big reader so I drag him into something more exciting.

Which I managed to do at some point.

A road full of late night stuff we could do.

The woman are gorgeous and the men are shirtless. What more could a girl ask for?

Unfortunately, I read the vibe too quickly that I'm unwanted and Namjoon is very much wanted.

Besides, I think his social battery has died.

I was about to throw the towel in. I ran out of ideas of what to do.

"Should we just go home?" I ask as we aimlessly walk through an empty street.
"Already? I thought you were the one who suggested we go out" he says with a raised eyebrow.

"That was before someone tried to throw a bottle at me" I sourly say.
"Or that girl trying to rub the green off you" he continues, obviously trying to not laugh.

"That was funny at least. I think she thought she threw up on me and felt terrible about it" I say, almost laughing at how gross that sounds.

"Anyway, tell me about yourself" Namjoon starts off.
"What do you want to know?"

"I don't know-anything. What's your favourite colour?" he asks.
"You're so smart, yet you ask such questions" I judge.
"I'm not that smart" he quietly says.

"Oh please-what was your job before all this started?" I ask, not buying it.
"Well, my father is an inventor and I help him out" he says.
"Oh right-your father is building something for your curse right? Can I ask, how did you really get the curse?" I ask and Namjoon seems a bit embarrassed to say as his eyes wander around.

"Well-you see-I met this beast. She said the curse brings what's inside to the outside and she's not the greatest, but she was a princess so her staff was also cursed for some reason" Namjoon says, not knowing where to start, but got there.

"How'd you end up with her curse?" I ask, furrowing my eyebrows as his story sets off alarms in my head.

Where have I heard this before?

"Apparently the curse can be transferred and I decided to take it. Couldn't be worse than how I was before" he gets quieter in the end. It almost sounds like he didn't mean to say the end part.

It stays quiet on his end while I try to recall the memory of where I heard that story before.

Ah-hah! How could I forget?

It has to be father's beauty and the beast story.

"You-you wanna talk about it?" I ask after I notice his prolonged silence.
"I don't want to sound lame-especially to you" he says, mumbling the last part, looking away from me.

"It's not like I'm some god. You can rant. I'll listen" I say, finally able to pat his back like a normal person since no one was looking at me.

This confuses Namjoon a bit as he looks around, but quickly puts it together that it was me when he looks at me.

He quickly looks straight ahead again.

"It's just-you've done all these amazing things. You're a literal hero with magic and stuff. I'm just a small town boy who basically knows nothing" he says.
