Tear (Love Yourself Tour - Book 2)

Chapter 12

Adeline's POV:

A whirlwind! That is what I would use to describe the last two weeks. Unlike the previous weeks of the tour things had markedly shifted now that Joon and I were together.

After letting the guys know about us, the next day we went to Youngchul. Of course, he was rightfully confused when I had asked to speak to him privately only to show up with Joon alongside me. His confusion inevitably gave way to happiness when I explained the reason for him being present. He, like Bang Si Hyuk, told us that we should keep our relationship to only those we trusted which was something Joon and I had agreed with them on. Even with all the staff having signed NDA's we still wanted to err on the side of caution. So, for the time being the only ones that knew of our relationship were our parents, Bang Si Hyuk, Youngchul, the guys, and Torrie. And, well, Ella.

Telling Ella about Joon and I had been what I could only describe as an experience. Even thinking about it right now I couldn't help but giggle to myself. When I first told her that her and I needed to go have lunch together so we could talk she was just happy to have, as she put it, a girl's only, lunch since we all usually ate together as a group or with others working the tour. When I told her that I actually invited her to lunch because I had something that I needed to tell her she was curious especially when I swore her to secrecy. Explaining to her that the utmost discretion was needed because it was to put it lightly a very serious situation, I was going to be letting her in on because I trusted her as I considered her a friend despite only knowing her for a little over a month. She perked up assuring me that her lips were sealed. When I told her that I was seeing Joon romantically she literally just stared at me. So long that I thought maybe I might have broken her. Then she let out a resounding scream followed by a series of 'oh my gods' interspersed with more screaming which Torrie herself wouldn't even be able to rival. Mind you we were in the middle of a restaurant so to say that I shrunk in on myself sinking into my chair covering my face and pretending not to know the banshee that was standing opposite of me would be accurate. Ella's screaming eventually stopped only when the manager of the restaurant came to tell us that Ella was scaring the other diners of the restaurant with her outburst. Of course, what happened next was such an Ella thing. She literally swung an arm around the manager's shoulders and explained that the pizza was so good she just couldn't contain herself. I burst into laughter at the look on the manager's face, so yeah, telling Ella had been an experience to say the least.

As far as Jihun, Soojin, and Minkyu go, I plan on telling them when I get back to South Korea for our mini break later this month. The plan was that I was just going to introduce Joon to them since they have known about him since the beginning. Surprisingly it was Joon's suggestion to just meet them. He suggested dinner at Soojin's since I was going to be staying there with her anyhow. It made sense to do it that way when I really thought about it. I wasn't sure how each of them was going to react to meeting Joon only to realize he is Namjoon of BTS. I had my theories but I hadn't expected Ella to react the way she did so there was that.

Beep, beep, beep.

I reached over and hit the snooze button for my alarm once more as I settled back into my thoughts. After another ten minutes my alarm went off again. Begrudgingly I got out of bed still somewhat sleep deprived. Nonetheless, I was excited for the day because as of 2 AM this morning, we were in New York having flown directly here after the last show in Chicago last night. 

Today I was finally going to see my parents and Torrie in person after four months. We were only going to be in New York from October 4th - 6th which meant my time with them was limited, but I was going to make the most of it regardless.

With that in mind I perked up and skipped over to my luggage and grabbed some clothes. I settled on my black jeans, black spaghetti strapped tank top, and my off the shoulder dark grey sweater I bought in Chicago that came down to the tops of my thighs. It wasn't exactly cold, but it wasn't warm either. It was that weird in between state that we always had before it truly got cold. Having settled on my outfit I went to the bathroom to finish getting ready.
