Iris POV
Iris has been in Korea for a few days now. And she's adjusting, but slowly.
Everyone has been extremely welcoming to her, especially Skye. After talking to her some more, she realized that the two of them actually have quite a lot in common. They're both originally from New York and they both are soulmates to members of the biggest boy group in the world.
Not to mention that she runs all-female tattoo shop. Iris thinks that's pretty badass.
Besides her, Iris has been talking to Jimin the most. Not only is he very friendly and super sweet, he has been helping her put together a present for Namjoon. And although they do have their struggles communicating sometimes, they make it work.
"Iris, come." Jimin beckons her over from where he is sitting in the living room.
Iris looks up from her phone, getting up from her spot next to Namjoon. It's awkward for them to heal since they aren't talking to one another. They sit next to one another wordlessly, just close enough that they can establish the physical contact that they need. The tension is so thick that you can cut it with a knife.
It's painful, but Iris reasons with herself that it will be over soon. After all, Namjoon's birthday is in just a few days and she has almost everything prepared.
Just thinking about it, an excited smile forms on Iris' lips. She plops down on the couch next to Jimin, peering over his shoulder at his phone screen.
"That's so pretty.." She gasps, looking at the picture of the succulent he has pulled up. Iris is not much of a plant person herself, but she knows Namjoon is obsessed with them. According to Jimin, they're like his kids.
"You think he would like it?" She raises an eyebrow at Jimin.
The man nods enthusiastically. "I will order it for you if you want."
"Thank you so much." She grins. Without thinking too much about it due to her excitement, she pulls Jimin into a hug.
He chuckles, clearly startled by the action. But he hugs her back nonetheless. "You're welcome."
"Iris." The woman jumps when she hears Namjoon's booming voice calling her name. Quickly letting go of Jimin, she turns around to look at him.
He's sitting forward in the chair now, his elbows resting on his knees. The man's jaw is clenched tightly and his dark eyes are trained on her and Jimin.
"Yes?" She gulps, taking in his stern demeanor. He's definitely pissed about something.
"Can I talk to you for a second?" He asks, his voice more gruff than usual. From his tone, she can tell it's not much of a question.
Iris glances at Jimin out of the corner of her eye and she sees him doing the same. He looks confused, almost worried. She's never seen Namjoon this angry before and she can assume Jimin is thinking something similar.
