Fate part 2

Chapter 220

Mina's P.O.V.
Don't be nervous. It's not like he could get mad or something. He clearly could. We're not LITERALLY about to film our dance challenge with Byul eonni and Hobi oppa..
I grabbed his sleeve.
"Can we talk outside for a minute?"

"Now?"
He looked around, our friend duo practicing. Our other friends in duos or not sitting by the mirror.
"Sure."
We closed the door behind us.
"What's up?"

"I have terrible timing."
I took my earpieces out so as not to hear the music.
"But I have to tell you something because I wasn't truthful."

"Don't waste your breath."
I didn't dare look him in the eyes now. My pulse ran wild. He'd be so angry. I'm sure of it-
I felt a light pressure on my forehead.. his lips, and the warmth of his arms around me.
"Who'd tell bad news to a sad person?"
The smile on his face deeply confused me.
"I've known about it for a while."
And you're looking at me as if I were the sunset.
"Min, when I said don't waste your breath I meant that you didn't need to explain in lengths. Please speak to me."

My mouth went from agape to my lips compressing, thinking. I didn't know what to say.
"What gave it away?"

"Everything?" The tinniest chuckle.
"This situation happened quite a lot."
His fingers blocked my left ear for a few seconds before the caressed my hair.
"Even before I went to the audiologist with you."

I thought of two days ago..
"I'm sorry."

My boyfriend almost seemed offended.
"Nope, that's not gonna fly with me."
What? I'm apologizing.
"Don't you dare be sorry. Also, you don't have to wear either one of these at home if you don't want to."

I had been wearing my stage set around the house yesterday, just to get used to it. The one for daily wear.. I didn't want to take off, to reduce the probability of Thursday evening happening again.
"But they make things easier."

"For you or for me?"
My eyes went wide.
"Oh my goodness I might have to repeat myself or speak slowly at times. It's not too much to ask, Beautiful."
His pronunciation was a bit clearer too... It was for me?
He grabbed me by the shoulders and pecked my lips.
"Wait here for a second."

"What in the world is going on?"
Joonie got back inside, flipping the pages of some book.

"Let's see if I do this right."
He placed it in his back pocket.
His arms slowly crossed, fists closed and his palms opened as they separated. Everything.
His right hand moved forward, fingers together, palm facing his temple. Will.
There was a lot of hesitation, but he kept going. His right hand, fingers still together, palm opened made two forward motions into his left palm. Alright.
"Give me a second, I'll start again. I think I made a mistake-"
He hadn't kept his thumb close to his index, but I couldn't care less. I understood the sign in the context just fine.. He moved his lips while he did it.

"No need."
I stopped him from starting over.
"It's gonna be okay, right?"

The smile on his face. He was so happy. "I did do it right! This is a lot more difficult than French."

Oh, really?
"You don't even speak French."

"Ce n'est pas vrai. But don't expect a long conversation with me. We can watch The Masked Singer from Quebec just fine though."

I had to laugh.
"Pardon me, Handsome. I don't expect you to become an expert. I still make mistakes."

The gasp! "The great Yoon Mina makes mistakes? Scandalous."

"Oh, please.." I nudged him.
"Don't mock me."

"Think we can go film, now?"

"Sure thing."

Namjoon's P.O.V.
We didn't leave any detail unplanned.
Hobi hyung and I had white shirts. We did ask the stylist noonas to borrow the pants we used for the AMAs performance.
Moonbyul noona wore pants too, shocking I know, same color as her fiance, but in satin.
Min did the same with me, but with a skirt.

A little Easter egg for her outfit tomorrow. We were already flying out tonight, huh?

They even had a small heel on.
Min came back, her professional set back in her bag.
"Everyone ready?~"

"Look who's excited!"
Jake being her best cheerleader.

Meg and Kookie wouldn't be quiet, Jimin either. "I think we're going to have to film one with them out of here. Right, hyung?"

He laughed. "I agree."
Hobi turned to his fiancee.
"Still good?"

My noona was nervous. We could tell. "I mean.. Yeah. We're doing this. I'm not changing my mind."

He made sure. "Everything?"
She nodded. "Alright. Roll the music!"

We did a few takes and I have to say, it was nice to have an excuse to professionally touch my partner's backside. It's the choreography! What can I say?
Each time it ended, both duos had an arm around eachother as we waved at the camera. Our noona smiled, hand on his torso.
"I should dance with you more often."

Our main dancer stood proudly.
"Really? I know what we're doing when we come back from MAMA."

"Wait.." Jake looked so confused.
"You're dating, sunbaes?"

Everyone yelled. "YOU DIDN'T KNOW?!"

Mina gave him a disapproving look. "What did you think they were when I said Byul eonni slept at his?"

"Like friends? I don't know!"
He paused. "You're announcing it like this? That's pretty cool!"

"I mean, we're engaged after all." He didn't expect these words out of my hyung's mouth.

"What?" Noona showed her ring.
"I really need to pay attention when noona sunbaenim speaks to me, dear God!"
.
.
.
We posted multiple versions, just them, just us and both. The comments were WILD. People were so happy for them.. My girlfriend first.
"And she who was scared people would be upset! The fans ship it!"

I closed her small suitcase.
"You ship it."

"I do! Honestly, look at them. It just works! To think they believed the media would crucify them."
Well.. they haven't seen a positive outcome in those situations.

"Talking about the media-"

Min placed a finger over her mouth.
"Not a word."

"Delusion until we're at the hotel?"
A nod.
"Fine with me. Let's go to Japan."

Honestly, leaving her at the company building to go with the guys bothered me, but we were flying for the job.
"Namjoon, stop looking behind you. You can't see through blinds."

I know Suga hyung, but she's somewhere back there! "It's just an hour before we land, right?"

"You're such a child, yes."
That gave me some time to think.
"Don't be so nervous, you're here to watch. That's it! Enjoy it."

I would, after I made my first social media post in weeks that isn't a performance.
