Nora & the Boys | BTS AU | OT7

Chapter 17

*

It took only a minute or two for the elevator doors to slid open, but for Nora, it felt like an eternity and more. 

She was ready to face the noise, ready to face the surprised gasps from staff members who happen to see them. She was even ready for the paparazzi to show up (although it was physically impossible for them to get through the hotel security).

Still, Nora's mind worked differently then an average human, and she had somehow decided on a plausible excuse for all such circumstances.

What she wasn't ready for, was Kim Namjoon, pacing back and forth in front of the door.

"Oh-" he was busy nibbling at his thumbnail, and stopped when he saw Taehyung and her in the elevator.

"Finally!" he whispered and stepped back, allowing Taehyung to walked past him, with Nora leaning at his side. "I was worried Mr. Lee had found out about us."

Taehyung shook his head. "No. I don't think Mr. Lee knows about us or Nora-ssi...yet."

"W-Where is the staff and security?" Nora looked to her right, at the lit hallway, with multiple closed doors to the side, and then to her left, where a black curtain restricted her view.

"I told them, I'm working on an important project, and needed complete silence." Namjoon said, with a wink. "They won't be bothering us, unless we call in for room service."

"Oh-" Nora wasn't exactly surprised, but she hadn't thought Namjoon would kick out the staff so quickly.

"Let's go." Namjoon turned towards the side with the black curtain, and lifted it, revealing another long hallway, and closed doors to the side.

Nora didn't like the idea of getting rid of security when there could be a possible Furie attack tonight, but she went along with it because... desperate times called for desperate measures.

In her current state, if any staff member or security personnel saw her, she wouldn't be able to explain herself. Even if Taehyung and Namjoon managed to hold off the questioning, they wouldn't be much help in front of Mr. Lee.

No matter the circumstances, the members followed Mr. Lee's instructions. They always have, and Nora's condition wasn't going to change it...at least she hoped not.

She knew Namjoon would back her up, but Nora didn't want to create discord between Mr. Lee and the boys. It was the last thing she needed, in this situation.

She secretly prayed it wouldn't come to that...ever. Because in her state, with her injuries, she needed Mr. Lee to keep the boys safe, if something were to happen to her.

She needed the boys to keep their trust in Mr. Lee.

Nora sighed and tried to focus on Namjoon's retreating back, and Taehyung's presence beside her.

She hadn't sensed any danger while coming upstairs. There were no signs of a hidden Furie.

For now, she would have to rely on her remaining strength and hope the night didn't hold any more surprises.

"Get in."

Nora looked up to see Namjoon holding the third door to their side open, keys dangling in one hand.

She had never been inside the boys room before.

The day Nora became a part of the BTS security team, Mr. Lee had given them instructions on what was allowed and what wasn't.

They had to maintain their distance from the boys, and only seek to get physical, if the members needed help. If the boys were being mobbed, the security had the right to do everything in their power to keep the members safe. But beyond their business relationship, there could be nothing.
