To the Good Days

Chapter 10: You know I don't speak French

The boys finished performing all the songs in the set list and it was an amazing performance, I left the cheering crowd and headed back to the dressing room. I walked in and zigzagged through all the stuff on the floor and found the boys. I pulled my sweaty boyfriend into a hug and then did the same to the rest of the boys.

*That performance was awesome! You guys did fantastic! 세상에! (sesang-e)* I exclaim after hugging them.

They laugh and thank me for the praise. They joke around after for a while as I sit on the couch again. They get their makeup and hair touched up so they can do a interview/skit thing about the new album. Joon falls sleep next to me while the maknae line dance around, causing mayhem. I chuckle at the ridiculous dancing and bad singing. I take out my phone and start browsing my various social media apps. I see a few posts and re-tweets from the show and some with me, saying nice things about the encounter. I smile at them, every so often I meet fans that know me just from YouTube and not for being Rap Monster's girlfriend or the girl that works with BTS.

The make up and hair people say that its Rap Monster's turn for touch ups, so I shake his shoulder and tell him, *Hey they need you at hair and make up now.*

He huffs and stands up and shuffles to the seat, bleary-eyed, *Dude you were asleep for like 20 minutes, are you really acting like a child?* I laugh. He just sticks his tongue out at me. Soon all the boys are ready for the interview/skit/Q&A thing, so I grab a camera from M Countdown and start the procession down a hallway. Each boy doing something goofy towards the camera. Jin got overly excited when he started to sing his solo from BS&T and danced around. Yoongi ended the fiasco when he pushed Jin to keep walking forward. I silently laughed behind the camera.

While shooting the Q&A thing, I was cracking up. They were reacting scenes from the music video and making fun of each other. Like Hobi was mimicking the jacket-off-the-shoulder shimmy Jimin did, and then did the floor dance bit from the choreo. V kept making derpy faces when reenacting his bits which caused a lot of laughs, and then Rap Monster had to kiss the statue like Jin did. Jungkook said, *Just pretend that its Emily, Namjoon-hyung.* I did my best to not crack up and saw my boyfriend blush slightly. Eventually, he kissed the bust, and Jimin cringed so hard. 

The boys had to dance to BS&T while the staff kept changing the audio from the song to other popular songs. They did their best to confuse the boys, and they were trying their best to keep in time with the dance as if the original track was being played. When 'Pick Me' by 101 played, Suga gave in and started dancing to that in the background, while the other boys struggled resist. I found it hilarious but had to keep my composure behind the camera. 

This nonsense carried on for a while after, until finally it was time to wrap the set up. After the guys changed, we all head out for well deserved dinner. We went out to bulgolgi, ramyeon, and other various meats that you can get at any typical restaurant. Since it was into the late evening, around 9:15, the place wasn't very crowded, but we still asked for secluded seating. They guys had on hats, masks, and glasses, or whatever they could wear to make them unrecognizable at first glance. The food was delicious because it was like the only solid meal any of us had all day. After eating, we paid, well Namjoon paid for me because he said ' I'm your boyfriend, it is what I do.' I just smile and go out to my car. I can take 4 other passengers in my car, but then the backseat gets cramped as hell. I ended up with Namjoon in the front seat, Yoongi behind him, Jin behind me and Jimin stuck between them. They say its more fun to ride in my car than the van, which is where the rest of the boys are. We all sing awfully to the songs on the radio and joke around as we head home. 

Once back at the dorms, it was pretty late so we all decided to go to bed. I changed, took off my makeup and crawled into bed. Namjoon soon followed after me. We laid in bed for a while before I realized I was still not tired enough to sleep, so I grabbed my phone and opened a e-book that I had saved a while back. The book was pretty good, it was a romance/mystery plot line so it was interesting to say the least. Namjoon rolled over and wrapped his arms around my waist as nuzzled into neck. *what are you reading, Em?* He asks. I was so entranced with the book that I didn't hear him until he asked again a little louder this time. 

"Quelle? Ne pas interrompre. je lis." I say back absentmindedly. He just lays there with a confused look on his face. *You know I don't speak French baby.* 

I look up. *미안해 (mianhae) The book I'm reading is in French. I was so captivated that I kept going with French. I said not to interrupt and that i was reading.* I giggle. 

He softly chuckles and says its fine and asks if I could read to him for a bit as he exhales.  He loves listening to it even though he doesn't understand a lick of it. He has asked me on a few occasions to teach him, but we don't have any spare time. One day, I'd like to teach him the basics, if we ever have a long enough break. I inhale before reading the page I am on to him in a soft, lullaby like voice which comes easy whenever I speak French. The beautiful words lulling through the air. Words rolling off my tongue. Soon enough, Joonie fell asleep, I'm sure he'll say something about how fascinating French is or something about how sexy it sounds.

After a few more chapters, my eyelids fight back sweet slumber just as I get to a cliffhanger. Oh the inner turmoil! to stay up and read or go to sleep? I know from experience that I should just go to sleep. I look and see Joon's peaceful state of slumber with the soft light from my phone screen. What a tempting sight. So I put my phone down and snuggle into his grasp while planting a kiss on his forehead. I close my eyes and drift off to sleep after a long day. 

there is chapter 10. hopefully I got the  countdown stuff right. I haven't watched it since it aired so I did my best to remember it. Also, i hope it makes sense. sorry this chapter isn't as long as the others, im tied up with school work. Any way, Enjoy! ^.^
