Love You Too Much

Chapter 10

There is a whirlwind of movement as soon as the plane lands in Shanghai airport. The flight had been delayed due to problems on the runway. You had been in the air for two hours longer than planned, meaning everyone was now two hours behind on concert prep. You are rushed through immigration. A confusing blur of Mandarin and Korean being yelled around you as people try to figure out the best way to get you all through in time. In the confusion you lose Namjoon. You jump to the next nearest familiarity. Jungkook looks very surprised as you grab onto his arm, immediately searching around for your missing boyfriend.

When he comes up empty, he links his arm through yours and signals for you to use your hood to cover your face as best as possible.

"Okay... uh how..? hold on to me." You do as you are told, better securing your facemask with your free hand. He pulls you through the throng of people. Trying to avoid sasaeng fans and paparazzi as you made your way to the front of the building. You almost make it through without incident. Jungkook tried coaching you to make it seem like maybe you were a stylist. You might've gotten away with it, if it weren't for the girl who managed to run through the security team. She wasn't passed the barrier for long, but it was enough time to rip the hood from your head exposing you as a foreigner to all the prying eyes around.

Mutters start to rumble through the onlookers. Rumours already spreading amongst them as they try to work out the identity of the mystery girl clinging to the youngest member like her life depended on it. You pull the hood back up, knowing its useless but not wanting them to take any more photos. You keep your eyes on the floor and keep moving forward. You've loosened your grip on JK knowing it's futile but still wanting to come away without too much speculation. He doesn't let go of you though. His grip tightens as he keeps moving, unwilling to lose you.

As soon as you are out of the main doors Namjoon is at your side. He puts an arm around your waist, peeling you away from your previous protector and ushers you straight into a waiting car. You don't see the look he gives Jungkook. A look that suggests he is lucky to still be alive. You don't get a chance to thank your protector as Joon slams the door in his face.

"Are you okay? Did she hurt you? I'm so sorry I didn't mean to leave you, they dragged me away. I'll never let that happen again." He cradles you into his chest, not giving you a moment to reassure him. "I'm going to get you your own security team. Maybe it would be best if for Shanghai you didn't start working. No one else is ever going to lay a hand on you." He keeps rambling on petting your hair as if you are the one that needs calming down. You let him. It's clear he fills guilty for disappearing but there is nothing you can do to assuage that guilt when he won't even take a breath.

You barely get to see any of the city rushing past the window on the way to the hotel. Its not a long journey, 30 minutes at most from Pudong airport. You are let out of the cars in an underground parking lot, far away from anyone that might've been waiting for the band's arrival. There isn't a lot of time between now and when everyone had to be at soundcheck. Luckily the tour manager had collected all the boy's passports in order to check them in and the hotel staff had allowed them to head straight to their rooms to set up. You follow Namjoon into the ornate elevator and he presses the button for the right floor. All this time your hand has been firmly clasped in his. You glance down at where you are joined to see his knuckles turning white.

"Joon, it's okay, I'm okay. You need to calm down." He refuses, holding firm. "Namjoon look at me." He reluctantly meets your gaze. "If you are going to be this worried about me, maybe I shouldn't have come, after this concert... I should just go home."

"NO!" the sudden volume scares you a little, he sees you flinch and immediately his usual cheery demeaner is back. "Come on, it's been one day, it'll be okay. I was just scared because I didn't want to leave you and I didn't want you to be afraid. You'll be alright, I'm just being protective. Please stay, you have to stay." The elevator dings before you get a chance to address the sudden shift in personality. It's a short walk down the hallway to your room. Another gorgeous five-star accommodation. The bed was huge, the view spectacular, and there was even a balcony complete with a small garden. There was only one problem.

"Joon, there isn't a door on the bathroom..." he places his backpack on the bed and looks in your direction.

"Oh yeah... I completely forgot about that. It's a common feature in Chinese hotels unfortunately. It's alright though, I'm going to be so busy for the next 48 hours you won't have to worry about privacy." He comes back to kiss you on the forehead and slide your own carryon off your shoulder onto his. "Let's relax for a little while. I have some time before we need to go." He sets your stuff down and slides on to the bed, patting the empty space next to him. For the next hour you sit in near silence, catching up on social media with a movie playing in the background. Just being able to sit with him is so oddly comforting. For someone you idolised for so long, it feels like it should have been harder to slip into routine, but he made it so easy. It was almost like he thought of you in the same light, something unobtainable.

The band's deadline came around all too quick. Namjoon packed all of his concert necessities into a bag and kissed you goodbye. It had been decided it was best for you to distance from the band for tonight. Start fresh the next day. This left you with over 9 hours to yourself. First you skimmed through films on the TV, but it was hard to tell which were in English. Next you read through a book on your kindle, it kept you busy for a little while, but it was getting harder and harder to focus. You kept thinking about the stern voice Namjoon had used when you suggested leaving. So deep. So authoritative. Just the memory was proving a very powerful aphrodisiac.

Running a bath and taking care of yourself seemed like the best option, especially if Namjoon wasn't going to be back for a long time. It's not like you could ask him to help you anyway, not yet. You fill the large tub with scalding water and find some bath salts amongst the toiletries. You swirl them in before carefully dipping your feet into the water. The bath could easily be big enough for two. The heat and space help you to unwind from the long flight, helping to soothe all of the post flight ick.

Its not long before your fingers trail in between your legs working on the other tension you had been feeling. Luckily for Namjoon, this is when he decided to check the room's cameras.
