(Concept: this is a continuation of the previous Know You chapter ! Jin and Nayeon are now openly dating in front of their friends and they couldn't be happier)

(Jin POV)

Every time I go out with Nayeon or we're together when we're with our friends, they always have to remind us.

"I knew you two would make a good couple."

"See? They are cute together!"

"Still can't believe you kept that from us for so long."

It doesn't bother us anymore though. We've gotten used to it by now.

When we're with our friends, it's like they expect us to be all lovey-dovey with each other. At least that meant they were happy for us, but we weren't like that all the time. Nayeon gets flustered easily, especially with this kind of stuff.

When I'm affectionate towards her around our friends, I try to make it subtle.

Like casually holding her hand while we walk, or putting my arm around her, sometimes even whispering "I love you" in her ear, but even that makes her blush. She's adorable.

I like that we don't have to hide it anymore, though. It was hard trying to act like I wasn't attracted to her before. I kind of forgot what that was like.

Even if we can openly date in front of our friends, we still like our privacy. We have little dates at my place sometimes, somewhere we can be completely alone. She rarely got embarrassed when we were alone like this.

"I love the color of your eyes." I told her, looking into her eyes.

"Do you like staring into my eyes like this?" She asks, leaning in.

"I do."

She laughs softly, "Well, I like it more when our eyes are closed..."

She leans farther to close the gap, kissing my lips. My eyes shut on their own. It doesn't matter how many times we kissed, it always felt just as amazing as the first time.

That seemed to be our favorite thing to do. The situation didn't matter. After a long, difficult day, that was all I needed. Even if we didn't speak a word to each other, we knew exactly how the other was feeling.

She came over one night after a rough day. I knew she wasn't doing so well today, as she'd been texting me about it. I was there to hug her as soon as she stepped through the door.

We had the perfect height difference for me to rest my chin on top of her head. I held her, feeling all of the stress leave her system already.

"Do you wanna talk about it?" I ask.

She sighs, "Kiss me first, please."

I chuckle at how cute she was before kissing her gently.

We had this kind of relationship where either of us could tell when something was bothering the other. We always talked things out, it didn't matter what it was. Even if she didn't have any advice for me, it still meant the world that she listened.

We adored each other. We've been dating for a while but that's one thing that never changed, and I hope it never does. People say that the intense feelings of love and attraction die down after a while, but I don't think that's the case for us.

Before we started dating, I had always admired her, just from afar. She was always making us laugh and cheering us up. I cared about her like I cared about all my friends. It was when I started caring a bit more that I realized I had feelings for her.

I wasn't strong enough to suppress those feelings for long. Eventually, I was honest with her and I told her how I felt. I didn't know what I was expecting back then, but it definitely wasn't this. She told me she had similar feelings, but back then, she wasn't too sure yet. Nonetheless, we decided to try things out and went from there.

Our friends always teased us, saying that we'd make a cute couple or whatever. The guys tried to get me to confess my feelings for her, but I never gave in to them. That was my own decision and they didn't need to know about it.

But now that they know, we don't have to hide it anymore. Nayeon likes to dress up in matching or similar outfits when we go out sometimes. At first, I thought it was kind of embarrassing, but since she liked it, I wasn't embarrassed.

We've only had a serious argument once. She didn't talk to me for a while, but it didn't stay like that forever. It's a normal thing to have disagreements with your partner, you just have to know how to stick through them.

We didn't let our friends know that we had an argument, so they though everything was fine between us.

I was worried it was going to be like that for a while, but I had nothing to worry about.

I had resolved the conflict with myself and I assumed she did the same. When we finally spoke to each other again, everything was fixed when she said those few words.

"I'm sorry, Nayeon-ah." I had said.

"Just kiss me, Seokjin."

Maybe it was better we spent some time away from each other then.

I truly love her. I've never been in a relationship like this before, but we're both learning as we go.

At the end of the day, Nayeon is like my best friend. We were friends before we were lovers, but I'll never forget those days. I never would've imagined getting to do this with her.
