The drive back to the hotel was uncomfortably quiet. Even though there was much to talk about, what could any of the guys say at the moment? Each of them exchanged glances with throats full of words that never made it off the tip of their tongues.

In just under thirty minutes the guys had arrived through the private entrance of the Westin. All of them aching for more coffee but happily satiated from breakfast with the girls. Staying with them didn't feel like anything extraordinary and maybe that's what made it so special.

Ru Day and Alexis Nava felt normal. As if they'd been hanging with long time friends all night. Friends they just so happened to get into trouble with. Did the boys bring danger to them? Or did the girls put them in danger? How could Edgar be the reason they met? Whatever fate's reason for weaving the girls into their lives, it was for better or worse. Something they'd figure out soon.

Returning to the hotel room exhausted each of the guys took turns cleaning up and getting ready for the days' interviews. For Taehyung the shower was piping hot but not as hot as he was when he took his time bringing himself to pleasure thinking about Ru. From their first heated exchange in the hallway to the closeness in the storage closet. From making her his grandmother's favorite sandwich in her business loft to coaxing her orgasm out in the very bathroom he was in. Every time his body was close to hers be it the club, the loft, or their home Tae found himself envious of any ex-boyfriend she had. Someone before him had touched her skin, kissed her lips, held her hand, and even grazed their fingertips across her flesh. When he cuddled her in bed he wondered if another man had shared that space with her. So when he woke in the morning he made it his mission to tease her to make her forget any other man but him. However judging by his state now the teasing served only to drive Taehyung further into his desire.

As for Jimin he'd spent some time talking to his manager about getting an international cell phone added to his plan. He asked his manager to run a background check on Joon-seo's family and school life in addition to creating a dossier to include his medical records. This request brought concern to his manager's face but where Jimin expected protest his manager only nodded in agreement. He knew what he was asking was illegal however, Jimin needed more information before he could let the guys know what his plan was.

Jin spoke to Jungkook briefly about Alexis before letting Jungkook sit with Alexis's book which he'd accidentally taken from their home. Not that he'd meant to but he felt like the book was his now. Knowing how Jungkook is affected by similar issues of nervousness and anxiety as Jin, he thought his younger friend might want to know another side to the girl he's fallen for. How helpful her words were.

Jin imagined spending time with Alexis enjoying coffee by the coast, and talking about what inspires her to write. Maybe they could even talk about the things they liked on opposites sides of a cozy couch. Maybe he could have a female friend his age to share his concerns with. As the eldest of six Korean men, Jin holds more weight than he can bare sometimes.
