V+O; in the Alternate Universe **Completed**

Chapter 19

O stood up in surprise, and V stepped toward her; she buried her face in his chest inhaling him, salt, blueberries, and metal.

"You're just in time," JK said; "go order some food and come sit."

"Ah ordered already," he said, doing a funny little handshake with JungKook then swinging down to sit next to O. "Hope I'm not intruding."

"Of course not mate. You're family, could never be. Everything went okay?"

"Yep was easy-peasy, literally nothing to find." Just at that moment, 5 other young men walked over.

"JungKookie kookie kookie," the shortest one said, embracing JK from behind. To which JungKook just laughed and hugged his friend back awkwardly. "Hi, little miss, the name's JiMin." He too had dark brown almost black hair, his skin delicate and pale. JiMin was just as beautiful as the other three she'd already met.

O gave her hand with the intention of shaking his, instead he kissed it looking her in the eyes as he did so. She blushed looking at V for help, and JiMin laughed.

JungKook cracked up at the site; "V can't save himself from JiMin, so don't ask him for help."

RM swung the chair around and sat on it backwards, "Hey O, how's the training going?" She'd noticed he was easily the tallest.

"It's going."

"She lies!" exclaimed JungKook. "O is exceptional."

V put his arm around her and gave her a squeeze. "I've got a good teacher," she said.

To which JK broke into an ear to ear grin, his eyes glowing.

"I mean it is as we always say isn't it? Kookie is good at everything... Hi I'm Jin, Mr. Worldwide Handsome." Making a double clicking sound from the side of his mouth, doing a funny twist of his wrist to adjust his glasses, then waved at her.

O couldn't help but laugh. "I see it, definitely," she said to Jin. It was strange how at first glance he looked so much like JungKook they could've been siblings. Although Jin easily had the broadest shoulders of the young men that surrounded the table now.

"Look's like JungKook's finally got girl," one of the guys chimed in. O recognized him for his ginger orange hair. At first she thought he looked stern, but the more he greeted his friends she knew that wasn't the case at all.

"Yea over TaeHyungies dead body." Laughed another.

"Hii, I'm Hobi! I've heard more about you in the last four hours, than I've heard about anyone in my life time. I feel like I already know you." He spoke to O excited and quick drowning out the other out-roar of laughter from the others. Blushing, O shook his hand and looked up at V who was also blushing. And refusing to look at her, all of a sudden very quiet, attempting to be expressionless and fixated on something in the distance.

"Hello O, I'm Agust." He said politely and squeezed her hand, his orange hair made him seem ever paler than his porcelain skin already was. "So we're going up there right?!" He pointed to the stage, which had the lights on now.

JK tapped his guitar; "Yea we are," punching his own fist into his palm.

"Can kick some different type of ass for once." Jin said, and they all laughed at his weird version of a dad joke.

O looked around now counting and realized this was The 7. All of them together. Feeding off each other's energy it was a wonder they ever got anything done besides kicksin. They had pulled up more chairs; the buzz and laughter around the table made her heart full. For the first time in maybe ever she felt whole, like she was exactly where she was supposed to be.

"O!" shouted JiMin, "You sing?" He said, nodding his head toward her in a kind of what's up gesture.

"I've got the musical ability of a teaspoon unfortunately, and that's on a good day." The boys laughed.

"That's alright TaeHyung's got enough for the both of you." Agust laughed, then he turned to JungKook and said as an after thought "we gotta find you a girl that can sing you know."

O pretended like she didn't hear Agust's comment, but surprisingly it hadn't bothered her in the slightest. She knew it wasn't directed at her. "I'm a good groupie though, very good at clapping and screaming." She joked.

"That's got to count for something," Laughed RM.

She was leaning back into V, his hard chest surprisingly comfortable. They were so close she could feel his light breathing touch her skin.

JiMin was animatedly talking to Hobi and rocking back on his chair when its leg gave out and he went toppling over. He sat on the ground, legs folded, chin on his elbows looking up innocently.

"JiMinshii!" JK shouted.

"How do you always end up breaking chairs?" The group was in stitches laughing at him as he attempted to fix it, finally giving up and going to get another.

"Your girlfriend's here," Said JungKook to V before anyone could stop him. They all went silent for a moment, looking from O to V. It was clear JK realized his mistake before anyone could elbow him. Although RM went for the elbow anyway. JiMin scratched his forehead looking at Agust. Hobi stretched his neck, then idly examined the table and turned to Jin who had oh shit written all over his face.

"Kook-ah sometimes I just." Jin said, face palming and shaking his head in a disappointed older brother kind of way.

They all watched the red headed girl with the long braids walk through the tables towards some other girls who were seated across the room from them.

"I'm sorry," JK whispered. V either didn't hear or chose to ignore him. Then JK looked at O with a it was a bad joke I didn't mean it guilty face.

V turned to O; "Give me a moment." He didn't wait for her answer, just got up. Her mouth slightly opened, and she turned to look at the others then back at V walking away. Slightly nervous. As he got up Hobi pulled V's chair over to RM stealing it.

"This is going to be fun," said JiMin but it was clear he knew it'd be anything but that.
