New York Dreams

Chapter 10: "You're Leaving?"

The laughter had begun to settle down slowly.

Namjoon watched the boys ask Luke and the girls different questions, slightly amused by the strange interaction.

He felt his phone in his pocket and knew he was avoiding the inevitable conversation.

"Boys, we're going to have to go back to the room soon," he hesitantly said watching the boy's faces fall one by one.

"You're leaving?" Amanda sighed. It had been fun whilst it had lasted.

"I'm sorry, but management is going to be very angry that we've been missing for hours," Namjoon said apologetically, he didn't want to leave, especially with Becky still not talking to him.

The boys looked around sombre. There was a good chance that this could be the last time they saw everyone here.

Namjoon looked around at the room, there must be a way he can keep them together for at least a bit longer.

He looked at Becky. She was sat on the sofa, participating with the conversation but slightly aloof.

She hadn't looked at him since Amanda's outburst.

He needed to explain.

"Becky, you should come with us?" he asked moving closer to her.

She paused for a moment and then looked at him, an almost cold expression behind her eyes.

"Why?" She asked inquisitively. Not only did she not want to be with Namjoon alone right now, she was curious how she could help.

Namjoon came and sat back down to explain the plan still forming in his head.

"So, if we say you helped us, they will be so grateful and this won't be the last time we get to see you all hopefully," Namjoon finished confidently after explaining to the boys who all believed it was a solid plan.

"So, I just have to sit there? Cause you know what I'm like in pressure situations," Becky sighed reminiscing about the train.

"Yes, don't worry I will be there as-well," Namjoon smiled and for the first time since the incident she returned the smile.

How could she resist that beautiful face?

"Okay, if you think it will help," She said collecting her bag to make it look authentic.

"See you soon hopefully, good luck!" Amanda said giving Becky an awkward hug.

She never was very good at hugging.

Jimin walked over to her. "See you soon?" he asked, hoping for one response.

She felt her hurt heart.

What had just happened could make her cry instantly yet she couldn't stay mad at him.

"Hopefully," she said softly half smiling at him. His face beamed.

He was so worried they wouldn't be able to come back from this, this gave him hope.

He moved closer to her and she froze.

She didn't know if she could handle a hug from him right now. He sensed her tense up and he grabbed her hand and touched her gently giving her a soft smile but he turned towards the door.

His touch left her tingling.

Soon they were alone in the hallway waiting for the lift.

It became apparent in this moment that this was the first time she had been alone with all of them by herself.
