The Assistant

Chapter Six

Namjoon woke up that morning before Morrigan, remembering the event that led up to their sleep. Did he have feelings for her? He looked down at the woman sleeping on his chest.

No. We're just good friends. She's just comfortable with me.

He smiled at her. Good friends sounded good to him for now. He traveled through his thoughts of the contracts all the assistants signed. He was there and agreed at first, for the rest of the group's sake. Maybe his thoughts were changing.

Never mind that.

He sighed a little too loudly, waking Morrigan slightly. She looked up at him with sleepy eyes. Realization struck and her eyes widened.

"Oppa!" She yelled, trying to throw herself onto the floor.

He acted quickly and wrapped his arms around her. She squirmed and wiggled, even whined for him to let her go. Eventually she gave up and he loosened his wrap around her.

The door was thrown open and this time Morrigan made it to the ground, before the intruder saw them. Dae stormed through the door with Yoongi following. Dae bolted across the floor, launching at their older sister. Yoongi gave a confused look to Namjoon.

"Noona! Tell me everything." She screamed.

Namjoon and Yoongi stood outside in the hallway to give them some space. Yoongi was waiting for Namjoon to explain why they both looked guilty this early in the morning.

Namjoon sighed. "Hyung it's not what you think."

Silence filled the void between the two. Yoongi knew if he waited long enough Namjoon would spill everything even more than he wanted to. Namjoon was constantly spilling things, by accident of course. In situations like this, Yoongi took advantage of that flaw. It was only when Namjoon felt like he had to carry the conversation, it was when he spilled things, so Yoongi waited.

Minutes passed.

"She was tired and sleeping in her chair, there's not enough room on the couch for us both. She slept on my chest last night instead of her desk chair." Namjoon took a breath before continuing. "She told me she wasn't leaving the studio without me so she stayed. I shouldn't have let her stay."

Namjoon's head dropped and his face turned red. Yoongi internally smirked.

"There's more though, isn't there?" Yoongi asked.

"Yeah but it's mostly internal and I don't think you want to hear about it." Namjoon said.

"You can talk to me about it, but I understand if you don't."

Morrigan sat in Namjoon's chair, while Dae sat in Morrigan's. Morrigan was explaining the dream she had to Dae and Dae nodded along.

"Anyways, enough about that human, let's talk about a better one." Morrigan said.
Dae raised her eyebrows.

"We had a moment last night. But I think it was just me because of our contracts, he wrote them."

"How do you know it was just you?" Dae asked.

"He wouldn't have feelings for me."

"You think nobody has feelings for you!"

"Because have you seen me?"

Morrigan was frustrated. Dae looked her older sister up and down. Dae would never understand the mental toll it took on Morrigan to be constantly told that she wasn't pretty and she needed to change herself to fit her husband's needs for her. Morrigan was constantly repressing the things she loved, so she wouldn't be completely torn down about it. Now years later, her brain is still struggling to bring itself back to life again. Morrigan wasn't the same person she used to be.
Yoongi peaked his head in. "Who's hungry?"
