"Hopie-yah! (y/n)'s here!" I hear Suga yell.
Then, the door opens to reveal J-Hope jumping up and down.
"You're here!" He gives me a tight hug.
"I missed you too, oppa!" I return his squeeze.
"Oh look, there's two rays of sunshine now!" V smiles.
"Aww, that's sweet of you to say." I put a hand over my heart and laugh.
"What about me?" Jimin fumes and starts chasing V.
I giggle at the boys acting childish. They've always been like this, and I kind of enjoy them being here. Especially Hoseok. He cheers me up when I'm sad, and he's just fun to be around.
"Who's there?" Jungkook asks.
"Kookie~ Long time no see~!" I grin fondly at him. He was the first friend I made in high school. If it weren't for him, I never would've met my best friend, Hopie, and I would've never survived that dreaded school.
"(y/n)! I missed you!" He puts his arms around me. "Are you coming to the tour with us?"
"What tour?" I brush something off of his hair.
"You haven't told her yet, hyung?" Jungkook turns to J-Hope.
"I was gonna tell her today." He rubs his eyes. "So, do you want to?"
"I'd love to! Can I actually go with you guys? Really? No joke?" I jump up and down, unable to hide my excitement.
Chuckling, Suga pats my head. "Yes, really. Last time we left you, you were like a sad little puppy. So after lots of discussions, we decided to take you with us."
"Thank you!" I hug everyone. I just like hugs. Makes me feel a bubbly, you know.
Four weeks later....
"Hello?" I hear Jin's worn out voice.
"O-oppa?" I tighten my grip on the phone, swallowing my tears. "Sorry if I woke you."
"It's okay." He yawns. "Why'd you call?" He doesn't notice me sobbing softly. Good.
"Err, do you know who has the spare key to my room?" I ask.
"Well, I gave it to Suga. Why?"
"I'm sorta in a situation here..." I bite my lip. "It's a long story. Anyways, thanks oppa. Good night!"
"G'night." He groggily replies and hangs up.
Sighing, I call Suga. No answer. I dial once more.
"Yah, why aren't you asleep?" He sounds ticked off.
"Sorry. Do you happen to have my spare key?"
A groan. "No, I don't. And if your calling for that, you should ask Jimin. I gave it to him. And if you call me again this late, you're dead, alright?"
"Got it."
"Good night, princess."
"Good night."
He hangs up, and I dial Jimin.
"Hello?"
"Oppa! I need my keys."
"I don't have them. Hoseok hyung does."
An agitated groan from me. "Okay, sorry. Good night!"
"Bye!"
Wiping my eyes, I call J-Hope.
"Hello?" He answers, yawning.
"O-oppa~," I'm in full tears now, not even hiding it.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
"I locked myself out of my room. I went out because I remembered that Taehyung has my phone charger in the middle of the night. A-and I forgot my keys, and this gang of drunk men were near me, and they started touching me so I ran as fast I could. Now I don't know where I am! And I'm too scared to go back to the elevator because that's where they are.
"Ok, I'll be right there. Can you describe where you are?" His voice sounds tense.
"Um, i-it's near the pool on the first floor. Far away from the lobby. I'm hiding in the dark hallway that is next to the exit right now. I'm scared, oppa! Come quick!" I shiver and hide myself farther into my thin sweater.
"Alright. Stay there. Don't move. I'll be right there." He hangs up.
I wait for five minutes before I see him running to me. He huffs and looks at me.
"Did I take too long?" He asks, handing me the key. His lower lip looks bloody and swollen.
"Gwaenchanha (Are you okay)?" I put a hand on his face, a worried look sculpting my face.
Nodding, he wraps his arms around me, enclosing me in a comforting hug.
"You must have been so scared. I'm sorry I couldn't come sooner. I should have protected you. Those boys shouldn't have laid their eyes on you. 'Cause you're mine. Mine only. I don't care about our age gap. It's love that matters, right?"
I hesitate for a moment. Then, I slowly return his hug. The warmth spreads all over my body, and I lean in closer.
"I love you, (y/n). You know that? Ever since I started knowing you, it just seemed right. Me and you."
"I'm glad you feel that way." I bury my face in his chest.
"Let's go back to our room. You must be tired!" J-Hope pats my head. "Today's been a tough day, hmm?"
I manage a laugh and walk hand in hand back to my room.
