Us & Them| OT7

5. Drake was Wrong

The couple lazed about the following day. Partying for three days straight took its toll on their bodies. Neither was in her twenties anymore. The early afternoon sun shone through the curtains of the hotel room as they cuddled together in the cozy bed, one reading while the other listened to music. Amber woke up with a headache, so she put on her over-ears and let the melodic piano notes subdue her. Janiya was in the final quarter of a book she'd started a week before they left home.

Both women were comfortable in the silence, having been together for 7 years they've learned that silence can be just as stimulating and appreciated as good conversation. Another hour ticks by when Amber's phone rings, the vibrations on the table prompt her to remove her headphones. An unknown and strange looking number scrolls across the screen.

"Who is it?" Janiya asked, pulling her nose from the book

"No clue" she frowned in confusion

"Are you going to answer it?"

"Nope! If it's important they'll leave a message" she declined the call

"How's the headache?"

"Gone, thank goodness" Amber replied just as her phone chimed alerting her of a text "Oh, I think that was someone from the BTS team calling. Oops."

"Try calling back, to see what they want" With a nod, Amber redialed they number from seconds earlier

"Yeoboseyo"

"Um, hello this is Amber Tyson, someone just called me from this number"

"Amber? Oh! Yes, hang on" the woman exclaimed, shuffling followed and some distant shouting "It's her, she called back!"

"Okay!" more shuffling and heavy breathing passed through the receiver before a male voice sang "Hello, Amber?"

"Hi, yes, who is this?"

"It's J-hope, sorry"

"Oh, hi, wow" an involuntary smile took over her lips

"Hi, so we were wondering if you and your girlfriend have any plans for today, we'd like for both of you to hang out with us" he explained, shocking the woman which in turn made Janiya curious of the conversation

"Umm, no, we were just, um, lazing around in our hotel. What did you have in mind?" Amber pulled the phone from her ear and whisper shouted who it was

"What! Really?" Janiya's hushed tone matched her partner's "What does he want?"

"To hang out"

"With you?"

"Yeah, with us"

"Hellooooo?" Hoseok's upbeat voice cooed

"I'm still here, sorry. You were saying you want to hang out with me, erm us?"

"Yeah, if that's alright with you. We can grab lunch and get drinks then see where the day takes us"

"Is this really j-hope? This is a joke, right?"

"It really is me, I'll prove it" he said before hanging up. Her phone rang again except this time it was a video call and sure enough it was the Jung Hoseok, smiling from ear to ear, staring back at her "Believe me now?"

"Ye-yeah," she cleared her throat "Wow, I can't believe you really called me"

"Believe it because I did" he chuckled "So, are you down? We'll pick you up"

Amber looked at Janiya with wide, unsure eyes only earning an equally unsure shrug from the younger woman. They looked at the phone and back at each other
