His Butterfly

Chapter 37

 "Come on we are going to be late! We have to get to practice, J-Hope is going to kill us if we are late!" I yelled to Taehyung as he was taking forever to brush his teeth. He opened the bathroom door and his hair was a mess still. "What have you been doing?!?!" I questioned frantically. He had toothpaste on the edge of his mouth and his eyes were slowly closing. I pulled him to the sink and wiped his face free of toothpaste and started to comb down his hair. It was decent enough, I'll mess with it later if I need to. 

"We'll get you to practice and then I'll get you something to wake you up. For now we gotta go." I said to him and pulled him downstairs and to my front door. He fell asleep on the bus but I made sure his mask stayed stationed on his face. When we got to the practice room everyone was still stretching. "Here, someone help him stretch. I'm going on a run to the convenience store, what does everyone want?" I asked as I sat him on floor and Jimin helped him stretch. They all shouted their orders at me, "So waters, shrimp chips, soda?" I repeated but I didn't quite catch what was said last. "Yes!" Jin yelled back. "Okay, I'll be back." I said and left to hunt down a store. 

I found one around a couple corners so I ran in and I left spending around $30 in snacks. I hauled the heavy bags back to the practice room. They were just getting started on J-Hope's special choreography for the MAMA awards. They had this special light routine and it was looking cool already and they don't even have the lights. 

They started to slow down and I prepared the snacks on a little table so they can just grab them. After about thirty more minutes they fell to the floor in exhaustion, crawling over to the snacks. They were practicing the routine for about three hours so I can see how they were getting tired. They have around three more hours until the next group gets the room. 

"Come on guys, don't you want to give the fans a good show! Let's go, come on!" I yelled at them when they got back to practicing. They smiled and started doing better, I really think the fans will like the dance they have planned. I mean I don't think it will top what Jimin did before but it will still excite the crowd. 

Speaking of Jimin, he took off his shirt followed by J-Hope. My face was slowly turned bright and I proceeded to curl into a ball on the floor, preferably in the corner of the room. I heard laughing and I knew they were toying with me. 

"Yah!" I heard someone yell and some people get smacked. I was scared to lift my head but I did to find the two rubbing the back of their heads with their shirts back on. Namjoon and Taehyung were both shaking their heads and fist bumped each other. They continued dancing and eventually I got bored of watching them dance. 

I wandered the streets and walked into a couple shops not too far from the building. Finally I found and Etude House and had to run in. I grabbed a basket and started to fill it with some things I was running out of, some of it the company pays for but if it's for my personal collection I pay for it. 

I grabbed a few more eyeliners just for emergencies at the mama's, some more neutral colored eyeshadows, foundations, and then some random lip colors I really liked. Big Hit gave me an charge account number to use at the checkout of any makeup store and then I just have to keep the receipts for the purchase. 

I do my purchases in a separate transaction just to avoid confusion and suspicion. I hadn't realised how long I had been in the store until I walked out and it was dark....I checked my phone, it was on silent. I had six missed calls from Taehyung, five from Namjoon, and fifteen unread messages. 

I cringed and started to walk back to the building calling Taehyung in the process. "Ren?!? Where are you?! Are you okay?!?" He answered frantically. "Yeah, yeah. I'm okay, I'm sorry. I decided to go shopping and forgot my phone was on silent. Are you all still at the practice building?" I questioned him. "No, we split up to go find you. Meet me at the building, okay?" He told me and I could hear him start running. "Okay, bye." I said and hung up the phone. 

I walked up to the building and stood under the entryway waiting for him to come. I was looking the opposite way for a minute and I was then tackled in a hug. "I'm so glad you're safe, I was so worried." I told me as he tried to catch his breathe. "I'm sorry, really. I won't do it again." I said and hugged him back. "Good, now let's call the others." He let go of me and called the boys.
