Alexis was pinned between the wall and Yoongi's body. His hand splayed on the wall above her head while his other hand pressed against her lower back. He rested his forehead against hers. In a low husky voice he said, "Set me free" . . . .
In the wo...
The following day, Alex was once again pulled out of her sleep by knocking on her door. Except this time, it was a mix of three or four different knocks. She rolled out of bed and hurried into a pair of shorts and a t-shirt as the knocking continued. "Yeah, yeah, I'm coming!" She walked to the door and flung it open.
All of the guys stood outside of her doorway, smiles frozen on their faces as they took in the sight of her. Her mascara was running under her eyes, her hair was knotted on one side and sticking out, and she had put her shirt on backwards.
Jungkook pasted a fake smile on his face, "Oh. . . . Nuna . . . . you look so pretty in the morning."
She glared daggers in Jungkook's direction. "I told you all this was a bad idea." Alex peered over Tae's shoulder when she heard Yoongi's voice from the back of the group. He leaned around Tae, "I promise I told them not to wake you up, but they wouldn't listen."
Alex walked back into her room and went into the bathroom. She looked in the mirror and cringed at her reflection. She grabbed a makeup remover cloth to clean her face up, then hurriedly switched her shirt around. When she came out, the guys were all still huddled in the doorway. "So what exactly are you all doing here this early in the morning . . . . awake?"
Jimin cleared his throat then proceeded with caution, he had the feeling he was dealing with a grumpy bear, "We wanted to take you out to eat with us. It's actually not that early, it's already the afternoon, and we just got done with practice."
"Oh." She smiled sheepishly at them. "Give me a few minutes and I'll be right out."
They waited in the hallway after she had closed the door on them. RM looked over at Yoongi, "Bro, I'm not going to lie, but that was a little scary."
Yoongi's shoulders were shaking from laughter. He knew she could get testy when she didn't get enough sleep. He replayed the image of her flinging the door open with only one eye open, her hair and clothes a mess. "I know. Isn't she great?"
A few minutes later Alex came back out. Any remanence of her former scary self had disappeared. Her hair was pulled up and she wore a long maxi dress with sandals. She crossed her purse over her shoulder then looked up at the guys with a bright smile, "OK! I'm ready."
They headed out on foot to a nearby street with food and shop vendors. The food tents were beckoning to Alex, she was starving. They found several things they wanted to try, so they bought 5 of everything and shared. Mortadella sandwiches, Brazilian hot dogs topped with cheese and mashed potatoes, pizza pastels, and churros. It sounded like a lot, but when you had seven grown men tagging along, nothing was left in the end.
They headed down to the shop vendors to see what kind of goodies they could find. Alex was perusing a jewelry stand while Jin had stopped at a table with wooden carvings of different statues and figurines. One of them caught his eye and he picked it up to look at it closer. He looked to the older woman who was running the stand, "What is this?"
