"Hey, so someone wanted to say hi!"
It's Namjoon, and Jin.
'What's going on?'
Automatically, you walk over and say hello, bowing slightly. All customs and politeness protocol activated. "Hi, these are my friends," you introduce the girls, "this is Kim Seokjin, known as Jin, and this is Kim Namjoon, known as RM"
They all shake hands and say hello. The girls' lowkey fan girl said that they have seen the guys perform and think they were amazing.
Nam explains that, as there are seven of them, he wanted to break up the formal meeting into stages. So it wouldn't be overwhelming for either his brothers or the girls. He is a great leader and brother, always looking out for ways to make sure they are happy and relaxed.
Sure, that sounds reasonable, you think.
Nam compliments your outfits, and Jin says, "Yes, Nuna, you look pretty, but you're not yet worldwide pretty." he laughs, and you all join in. At least he's not feeling uneasy. Jin is introverted and only really tells jokes or tries to tease others when he's feeling comfortable. This is a good thing. You think back to how he was with you earlier. He was relaxed and happy then, too.
"So, Nuna?" Nam talks directly to you. "Have you thought about that date yet? If you didn't like the one I had just pulled out of thin air, then we could talk it over and make plans?"
'Ffffuuuuuuccccckkkkkkk'
"Oh, Nam, you're too sweet. You know you're too busy, and idols don't date."
You take out your phone and start snapping pictures. With a conscious effort, you don't make eye contact with Nam until he offers to snap a few pics for you. He's beautiful, his dragon eyes piercing into yours. The way he smiles at you.
>kitty, if he keeps this up, I may just need to think about that date.
>heart, no, that would hurt Hoseok. He was there for us when we needed him.
>brain, look, it's flattering. He is educated and interesting.
"Right, we should head if we are going to see the others. We can't deprive them of this." Nicole waves her hands all around you. "You're looking hot. The guys at the club are gonna be losing their shit, especially if you are being your wild self. "
She looks to the girls and says, "Wild child is out tonight. Maybe she will find a guy or 3, but please look after her. " they all titter and giggle. Jin, not understanding fully what has just been said, just smiles. Nam, on the other hand, his smile has faded.
Keeping in mind not to give full attitude, just in case you end up on the floor. You walk with Lee, arm in arm.
"Eh, do they always look so handsome, and what about the way RM was looking at you. Like a meal. "
"Hush, he's just being nice." Once in the elevator, Nam keeps his distance, Nicole is admiring your makeup and talking animatedly with the girls. Jin is closest to you. You ask him if he completed the video game from earlier, "No, Nuna, but the night is young," he states.
The doors open, and the floor is now like a nightclub. They have put up coloured lights, and there is music coming from an open door halfway down the hall.
"Bangtan bullshit!" You say to Nicole. Everyone laughs.
As the seven of you enter the main room, the remaining guys all cheer. It's chaos. They have party poppers and their phones have the flashlight on. There's hollering and whooping. The guys are in a fun party mood.
Everyone says hi and introduces themselves. It's now Nicole, Nam, and you that are working two languages. So that everyone can communicate. Those champagne bubbles long gone.
Jin stays for the introductions but then leaves, "Too many new people for me, I hope you understand!" he addresses you directly
"Of course, please, I don't want you to feel uncomfortable. It was really sweet of you to come see us in our suite. Maybe we can have a coffee when you're not on schedule. That way, you can teach me the rules of an easier game. " You reach out your hand, and he gives it a shake.
The room is loud and filled with smiles. The maknaes (Jimin, Tae, and JK) come over as a group. They stick together and stay by Nicole and Nam.
Hoseok hasn't tried to talk to you on his own. He's being quiet. This is unlike him.
You ping him a message.
"Hey, handsome, I've missed you."
You wait for him to read the message.
When he does, that smirk plays across his mouth. He doesn't send you a reply but walks across to you. "Hey, wifeu, you look really beautiful tonight." The girls don't hear your nickname, but they hear the compliment. "Will you have something to drink?" He asks the group. "Some champagne or maybe something else?"
"Soju"
"Soju"
Both Yoongi and you say in unison.
You explain a little about Korean drinking culture. How it's usually the youngest that pours, you always use two hands and turn to away from your elders when drinking alcohol. Nicole takes the lead and pours the drinks.
"Cheers"
건배 Geon bae "
Hoseok has made his way towards you again, now standing just behind you, he speaks into your ear "I can't wait to take this dress off you" he then moves over to stand with Nam. He wants to see the look on your face as you struggle to hide the smile and blush he's created.
There's no awkwardness between the guys, Nam doesn't try flirting with you again, and Yoongi just looks like his social battery is about drained. He's not rude or unsocial. He just wants the peace to return.
The conversation has been about the girls and their carers, how they have been working for a few years and now are making their name known in the US. Lee's phone goes off.
"OK ladies, the car is downstairs, we should head,"
As you walk towards the elevator, the guys are saying goodnight and wishing you all a good time.
"Hwaiting," they say to the girls.
"Fuck, I've left my phone, wait for me"
You realise before you walk down the hall, and double back.
You see Yoongi and Hoseok looking at each other, Hoseok is smiling and Yoongi just nods and walks away.
"Are you OK?" He asks, when you enter the room, "Yeah, just forgot my phone" you say when you locate it and give it a wiggle to show him.
He wraps his arms around your waist, "I really want to smudge your lip stick" he says as he nuzzles your neck.
"What the fuck" your panicking, looking over your shoulder "Yoongi's, not there!"
"No he's not," he's kissing your neck and ear and fuck your melting.
Groaning, "I want you" he steps back "but I can't have you right now. Come, let's go, you shouldn't keep everyone waiting" he walks you, almost marching you, to the elevator.
