Nights in the Studio - Taejoon

2

Namjoon's POV

The sound of fried bacon awakens my senses as soon as I step out of my room. It's probably Jin: he always cooks us before a busy day, and boy is it today. Not only do we have a recording of Run in the morning as well as a meeting with the designers of the new album cover, but I also have a recording for the comeback trailer and finish with Yoongi the song from his mixtape.

Yes, a busy day. But there is something else on my mind.

"Good morning Namjoonie." Jin greets me as he serves the dishes to two of the maknaes who look like they haven't slept all night. "Good morning, Jin hyung," I respond kindly to the only member that keeps a smiling face on the dining table "and to you too."

Jimin and Jungkook look at me annoyed and I sit down. "We're not in the mood Hyung." Jimin tells me and I raise an eyebrow. "Why? What happened to you now?"

"It's Jimin," says Jungkook "he kept us awake all night, as always" I nod slowly.

Jimin has a bad habit of staying up at night looking at, well, interesting things from time to time. It is an old habit that he used to have with Hobi and me, but that he has maintained solely because of his loneliness and daily complaints about the army noses that have already ruined several attempts at conquest. "It's not my fault" replies the thick-lipped "I told you to sleep with Tae."

The mention of the name makes me gulp.

"I already told you I couldn't!" Jungkook yelled and I clear my throat. 

"Why's that? I slept most of the night with Jin. You would have used my bed." I mention, gaining an uncomfortable stare from both of the younger ones.

"It's not that, Tae was very strange..." The maknae mumbles.

"Really?...." Jin intervenes with a cup of tea in hand and sitting down like an old lady. 

"Yes, it was" I conclude, seeing that the others want to ask more but being silenced by the sound of two pairs of heavy footsteps on the way.

Hobi and Yoongi Hyung arrive with unfriendly faces to give the others a bow, serve themselves coffee and a bread and jam respectively. I watch them as I almost finish my breakfast until they sit down: Yoongi Hyung in the middle of the two maknaes to stop the discussion; and Hobi at the other end of the header, opposite Jin. 

"And you don't know how to say good morning?" Jin said feigning annoyance and the newcomers looked at him "you only know how to eat."

"Of course." Yoongi Hyung replied and Jin threatened with his gaze but without daring to do anything because of course, we all fear him  even if no one admits it.

"I said good morning to you, Jin Hyung, earlier" I look at him questionably and he realizes "I went for a walk" I nod.

"I know, but it wouldn't t kill you to say it twice" Jin mentions and the rest of us laugh a bit. I stay in my place staring at the empty plate in front of me. I finished very quickly, and he has not arrived. I wonder why....Has he fallen asleep? I would not be surprised. Yesterday he didn't sleep at all... or so I think.

He didn't sleep because he was too bussy staring at you.

"What?" I say out loud without realizing it and everyone looks at me, but before someone can say something a voice interrupts.

"Good morning!" Taehyung. He comes behind me. I don't look at him. I can't.

Everyone starts to greet him and then he gets even closer. He puts his hand on the back of my chair. I hear him laugh. What are they saying? No idea, I just think of his hand, brushing my back.
