It was seven thirty in the evening when Yoongi knocked gently on Bella’s hotel door.
“I’m surprised it’s you, JK. You’re usually the hardest person to wake.” Yoongi teased.
Jake rubbed the back of his neck. “No one more than me, Suga-hyung.”
“I wanted to get coffee. Knowing that an Iced Americano is just across the street from me is almost like a siren call.” Yoongi said. “Let me wake Namjoon up. You stay with Bella.”
“What about Hobi-hyung?”
“Namjoon’s the official translator remember?”
Jake nodded and crawled back into bed, placing Bella’s left arm around him again.
Namjoon got up fairly quickly and went to find a shirt to put on.
It did not take long for them to come back with coffee for everyone including Hobi’s Pistachio dome and some other desserts. Save for Yoongi’s Iced Americano, which he was already drinking, they placed all of it in the mini refrigerator.
The duo also picked up two orders of the Family Lauriat from Chowking for dinner.
Namjoon went about waking everyone up and gathering them all in Bella’s room to eat.
Bella woke up to Yoongi sitting in the orange chair in her room sipping his coffee. Her arm was still draped around Jake. He was already awake and playing with her hair.
Jin was arranging the food on the table. There were two buckets of fried chicken, two orders of pancit and two orders of veggies.
Namjoon and Hobi had just walked in, carrying some plates and cutlery.
“Am I the last one up?” Bella asked Jake.
“Pretty much, baby.” Jake kissed her forehead. “Good morning, even if it’s already seven pm.”
“Oh wow, we slept for a while, didn’t we?”
“You were exhausted, P.” Yoongi pointed out.
“Long distance trips take a lot out of me.” Bella agreed.
“How do you cope by yourself when you travel alone, Chichi?” Jin asked, handing her some wanton soup that Namjoon and Yoongi had bought for her.
Bella gladly received the soup and started drinking it. “Kamsamnida, Jin-oppa! (Thank you, Jin!) I just deal with however I feel at the time. Mostly, I wait til my head clears which is anywhere from thirty minutes to an hour. The motion sickness happens anywhere anyway. Even if I’m just in a Grabcar, having it drop me off at home from the office, I have to nap or close my eyes at least. Some drivers trigger the motion sickness more than others.”
She offered the soup to Jake, who was sitting up beside her. He took a sip and handed it back to her. “That’s yummy.” He said, nodding his head.
"You look like you’re feeling better, Corgi.” Hobi chirped.
“I am, Hobi-oppa. Nothing a good nap can’t fix.” She drank some more of the soup.
“Are you well enough to practice Black Swan later?” Hobi continued.
Bella chuckled. “I’ve had worse cases of this when we practiced Idol, Hobi-oppa.”
“Ah Jinjja? (Really)” Hobi’s face showed his surprise. “Color me surprised.”
“Jungkookie." Namjoon called. "Help me push the beds together. Let’s have dinner now."
Bella got up to help Jin distribute the plates.
