The Assistant

Chapter Seven

Namjoon made it home just as Yoongi was unlocking the door to the dorm. They walked in and closed it before talking.

"How did lunch go?" Yoongi asked.

"It actually went well. She said something though and now I'm wondering something."

"You want to know if she likes you as much as you're questioning your feelings for her?"

Namjoon sensed Yoongi knew more than he ever let on. But Yoongi just shrugged.

"Hyung?" Namjoon asked.

Namjoon tried pushing Yoongi to spill his knowledge, but he wasn't budging.

"Hyung, I never asked about you and Dae?"

"What is there to know?"

Namjoon internally sighed, some days Yoongi was a clam shell.

"I mean, do you like them?"

"I picked them didn't I?"

Again with the clam shell. Namjoon gave up and started towards his room. He plopped down on his bed, face in the mattress.

"Actually," Yoongi said, suddenly sitting on the foot of Namjoon's bed. "I seem to be in the same situation as you."

Namjoon raised his eyebrows, waiting for his hyung to continue.

"Dae and I are very close."

"How close?"

"Well they are a smaller version of Jimin."

As if Namjoon's eyebrows weren't high enough, it seemed they raised more. Namjoon wanted to ask more but wasn't sure if Yoongi would answer.

"Ask your question." Yoongi said, snapping him out of his thoughts.

"What do you mean, they are like Jimin?"

"Clingy." Yoongi laughed.

Namjoon thought again.

"Namjoon-ah use your brain." He said as he got up and walked away.

Namjoon was left more confused, but Yoongi wasn't giving anymore information. Yoongi was good about following the contracts just like he was but this time Yoongi didn't seem to care. What was it about these siblings that made the pair of idols so drawn to them? Namjoon wanted to spend the rest of the night thinking things over. He sealed the door to his room and turned out the lights.

Returning to his bed, he drifted off into his thoughts.

Morrigan walked into the apartment and found Dae watching Lion King in Korean with the English subtitles on. Morrigan got a bowl of chips and sat with her sibling.

The rest of the night was spent like this, while downstairs in the lobby, the plot was thickening.

***

Tae rushed around Yoongi, who was still preparing his coffee. He was never this late to meet Suk-Chin. He sent a text,

Meet me at the studio I'm running late

Namjoon entered the dorm's kitchen.

"I'm going to pick up Morrigan from her apartment, do either of you want to come?" He asked.

Tae and Yoongi both nodded. Yoongi gave a smirk to Namjoon as he walked by, but Namjoon either ignored it or didn't seem to notice. He thought it was weird for Namjoon to pick Morrigan up. From what Dae told him, they always met at the studio.
