'Are you sure, Mr. Kim?' She asked him.

'Why?'

'I hope there won't be any security issue, you really want to go out?'

'I do it all the time!'

It was a Sunday and if no emergency case comes up, Naina had all of the day to herself.
Namjoon had asked her to show him around the town after breakfast.

'It's such a dead town, I tell you! What are you even doing here?' She asked him again as she locked the gate. Namjoon had his cap, mask and sunglasses on, basically he did his best to hide his identity.

He looked at her, he had some specific answers to all her questions, 'I'll let you know exactly why when the time comes!'

'Told you! Wanted some quiet!'

Naina avoided taking her two wheeler as how possibly she could have sat so near to him! She shuddered at the idea! Besides he had wanted to walk.

It was really a dead town as Naina had expressed, until Namjoon's eyes caught something interesting! His eyes brightened.

'Let's go in there!' It was a nursery! Naina was surprised at what he possibly could want from a nursery!

However, she got her answer as they came out sometime later with several saplings in their hands, some packets of manure, some gardening tools and what nots! She had no idea what was happening! She had earlier heard him having the most boring conversation with the person over there!

She was not a gardening person! She just did not know what to do with a plant except water it! That's the most she felt about plants and she looked up at the man walking besides her, she could visualize the dimples on his cheeks even though they were hidden beneath his mask!

Namjoon sat down to work as soon as they were back, they were sitting there on the side walk, Namjoon had mixed up various types of the manures and was putting it in the sunflower's bed while Naina was just watching him do all this!

He was dead serious at his task! She smiled, looking at him engrossed in his work. 'This man has facets to him which I have no idea about! ' She looked at his gleaming eyes, he seemed like an enthusiastic child!

'Stop staring!' He said softly and she came out of her thoughts, slightly embarrassed!

She bit her lower lip, even blushing a little!

'Where did you learn all this?' She watched him dig up tiny flower beds all across the lawn after he was done with the sunflowers, while she sat in the patio. He was planting the saplings and the seeds that they had gotten from the nursery.

'This needs no learning!' he wiped his brow and as he did so some mud that was stuck on his hand fell into his eyes and he blinked, he wiped it from his other muddy hand, hence making an addition to the mud already sitting into his eye!

She had softly laughed watching him do all this and got up to get the water tumbler for him to wash his face.

'Hey!' She cried after he splashed some water on her face!

'Why did you laugh at me?'

'Because you're so clumsy, Mr. Kim!' She laughed again!

He looked at her, stopping himself from reaching out and wiping the water droplets off her cheeks.
She seemed so lovely!

She looked at him and smiled, the thought of reaching out and wiping the water droplets off his brows crossed her mind.
He seemed so charming!

But both did neither of it!

After dinner, they were sitting on the couch. She didn't sit on the chair this time, she was sitting besides him leaving much space between them.

'They are ignoring me since you're here!' She indicated towards Mishky and Monty who were sitting on his lap and besides him respectively. The animosity between Namjoon and Monty being on a low today!

'This is because they care about me!'

'Hey! I also care about you!', pat came the reply!

'Really? In what way?'

'I can't exactly pin point, but.. I do!'

'Really? Even when I don't need any medical attention?'

'hmm..?' She looked at him, confusedly.

'What do you feel when you say you care about me?'

'Like saving you if you would be in a difficult situation!'

'I've been in a very difficult situation these last three years of my life!'

'Really? Wanna talk about it?' He read sincerity in her eyes as she said so.

'I will!' He reached out for her hand, 'When you will be ready!' His eyes silently told her.

'Are you okay, Mr. Kim?'

She noticed that she didn't feel uncomfortable at his touch.
He felt the warmth of her hand against his.
His metacarpus is broad, she noted to herself!

'When will you stop calling me Mr. Kim?' He looked down at her wrist at the heart shaped mole.

'What else should I call you?'

'I have a first name too!' He brought her wrist nearer to his eyes, they were actually three moles so close to each other that together they appeared heart shaped!

'Umm..' She just nodded tugging a strand of her hair behind her ear with her other hand, somehow she could never bring herself to call him by his first name. (just Asian/Indian things!)

'Good night!' She pulled her hand out of his.

'Good night!' He smiled at her. 'Please don't leave yet!' He wanted to add but did not. He knew about her having an early morning shift tomorrow.

He had not forgotten how this girl used to argue for their sleep, at some point of time.
