Living with BTS

Chapter 30

I hid my body around the doorframe, careful not to expose myself to him. He looked down the entire time he spoke, rubbing his hands together. Is he nervous? Where are the boys, do they know he's here? "Alex." He whispered, walking toward the door. "I'm sorry I just showed up like this, please let's talk." Talk? He wants to talk? What is it with the men around me? "Rocky we have nothing to talk about. We can text it out, do the boys know you're here?" I asked out loud, tying the robe around me. "No, and i'm not scared if they were to find out." He stated, straightening his back. I walked out of the bathroom and straight to my closet. It was silent between us the whole time, but our eye contact was strong. "Listen, there's so much going on and I think i've come to the conclusion that I don't really belong here. Come with me. We'll be back in a month, I would like to leave with you. If anything comes up, we have access to whatever we'll need to get home." Rocky said, unraveling papers. "Go with you where?" I asked. "Anywhere. As long as you're with me, we can go anywhere." He said. "Rocky you're right, there is a lot going on but don't you think this is sudden? Given our history, it's a hard pass. We're not even counted as friends at the moment, much less me pack up and dip off for a month with you." I said, folding my arms against my chest. This is insane. I can't lie and say i've never thought about it, but now? Now? "Alex!" V yells, running up the stairs. Rocky makes his way towards the door, and I shove him into the bathroom. "One sec!" I yell out. V makes his way to the top step and I hear him shuffling outside my door. "Hurry, the plate's hot!" He shouts. I open the door and see him gripping the sides of the plate carefully, trying not to touch the middle part. "Aw, you're the best, thanks!" I say, grabbing it out of his hands and walking backwards. "Oh thank goodness, feel my fingers! Never again!" He said, rubbing the tips of his hands. "Next time call me? Appreciate the thought, i'll catch you downstairs!" I say, closing the door. "Alex, wait!" He called out, slipping his foot in the entry. "Do you want to go with us to the arcade? We're filming a video for our fans." He asked. "Mm, let me get dressed and we can finish this convo in a bit." I say, looking towards the bathroom. I closed the door, why is the door open? Who opened the door? Is he asking to be killed today? "Are you okay, you look scared." V asks. "It's the plate burning my hands, gotta go!" I say, finally getting the door closed. "You know, we wouldn't have this issue if you'd just leave with me." Rocky says, appearing from behind the door. "Are you trying to get yourself killed? Not literally of course, but with everything going on a fight is the last thing that needs to happen right now." I stated, setting the plate on my desk. "Will you think about it?" He asks. "No." I said, throwing my head back. "Alex just think about it. Really weigh out the pros and cons. The plane leaves Monday morning." He said, placing his hand on mine. He picks my hands up, playing with my fingers. He was intertwining his hand with mine until we looked at each other. "I missed you. I really hope you say yes. We have a lot to catch up on." He says, dropping my hand and making his way towards the window. Once he safely makes his way out of my view, I get dressed and head downstairs. I could see the camera flashes from the top of the stairway. Great, another front for the camera I suppose. In no way am I ready for cameras right now. Last time they shooed me out of the way, but sometimes they like to be nosey and get the latest tea on the boys. I turn around to head back up when Jenny makes her way around the kitchen. "Pretty bold of you to be down here when i'm here." She says, filling her cup with more wine. "Pretty bold of you to assume i'd give a fuck." I say, walking up the stairs. "Trouble in paradise?" Jimin asks. He looks different today, more soft if that makes sense. "Not yet." Jenny says, walking out of the kitchen doors. I'll never understand their dynamic. Is it fake? Is it real? Why would you want that kind of setup? Anyway, let's get ourselves a little more presentable.

~Two hours later~

Deans Pov

"Lyla just give me 20 minutes and i'll be there. Please have the boys ready, and tell them to use the back door! Our lawn is filled with camera crews, Jeremy is getting back up on security as we speak. See you in a few." I say, hanging up my headset. "Are the boys making a comeback for their careers or their lovers? Let's ask Jimi-" I'm so tired of this. I leave for an x amount of time and they still can't keep it together? I hope Alex is taking the heat well. Once my surroundings start getting familiar, I turn the radio up once more just to be hit with suspicions from the media. "BTS's secrets just keep getting better and better! Tune into our segment at 6 for the juicy details starring Jimin and Jenny!" The man spoke. What the hell is actually going on? "Call Alex." I spoke into my phone. "Calling Alex." Siri said back. It rang for three good rings, then went dead. I have seven more minutes, i'll figure it out then.

~Back at the house~

"Alex! It's time!" Suga called out. I really don't want to be involved with this little tv show. I can't find my phone, or my watch, maybe even my head, i'm so out of it right now. How do you make this a normality? The press don't care for my presence, and I get being supportive. I'm all for it, but when it's not wanted, then what? My attention turns towards my bed when I hear my phone going off. Bingo. You ever been running late and then your phone is in the crack of your bed? Only me? I can't reach this damn thing, it's gonna have to stay here. Between the press and rocky's offer, my head has been a mess. "Alex!" Dean calls out. Finally, some adult supervision! If anyone knows how to clear things up, it's my uncle. "Coming!" I yell back. Once my belongings are gathered, I head for the bedroom door ignoring every single beep coming from my phone. "Took you long enough." Jimin says, buttoning his shirt. I give him a little nod, and walk past him. "Alex you can't avoid me forever." He says, following behind. "Watch me." I say, making my way towards Loretta's house. On top of today's little jabs being thrown at me, Jimin is the last person I need to be speaking to. "Hello! Breakfast is outside on the balcony, i'm heading to the boys house to make sure they're ready. Help yourself!" Loretta says, untying her apron. "Thank you! It smells so good in here, I can't wait!" I say, making my way out of the kitchen. "How's my favorite little niece?" Dean asks. "I'm your only niece!" I say, reaching out for a hug.  "Now that i'm back, I only have two days to get these camera crews under control. Mind telling me what happened?" He asks. My attention immediately lands on the frame behind him. "She can't, but I can." Jimin says, fixing his hair in the window reflection. "Oh, my apologies. Do continue." Dean says, leaning against the counter. "It all started when two people fell in love." He starts, opening the fridge. I felt my heart drop. Love? Where? How? Why? He loves her?
