Chapter 5

"At the dorm?!" 2Seoks and Agust D yelled in the highest reach of their voices.

"Yes" Namjoon sighed, "I'm worried about the same thing. That's what she told me that day- she'll stay with us in our dorm. She even knows the room where she's supposed to stay in. She told me very coolly that I have to find a reason as to why is she the personal staff because she might show up at the back ground of our vlives and bombs."

"That's a brainy task, you know" Jhope muttered, "What sort of reason would convince armys?"

"Maybe that she's highly skilled in all kinds of jobs?" Suga spat out the question.

Namjoon knitted his brows, "What kinds of jobs?"

"Uh... you know, make up, cooking, care-taking?"

"The last one just made me feel like a baby you know" Jhope said and laughed, his small dot-dimples beeped cutely in his cheeks.

"Maybe we can say that she has been a senior staff and she's like a family?" Jin smiled as he spoke, "Convincing armys is no cake walk."

Namjoon strolled across the room and suddenly said after a thoughtful silence, "I got it." Three pairs of ears lined up for his voice, "Lets declare it like, she is a trusted staff who shares some family relations with few of our members. She joined BigHit recently but is great at work as in- all the in-house jobs and management. BTS needed an all-time assistant at the dorm, hence we chose her. How does this sound?"

Jin nodded willingly and Suga sported his thumbs up.

Jhope asked, "Armys will doubt everything, Joon. What family relations shall we specify?"

"you tell me."

"As long as I can recall her, after how you described, she was tall and cold, but had a sweet face. I don't mind explaining armys that she's like my little sister. I have a noona already, I'm glad to have a donsaeng."

Namjoon smiled for the first time in a while, "That's pretty nice" he said, "I can say that she used to be my colleague at work in the old days."

"That sounds nostalgic." Suga murmured from his blanket.

"Ah, its fine. Armys know very little about where I worked and who my friends were. But guys, she isn't married. And I'm afraid we have to fake that she's married at least around the staff. Jhope, that way she's like your noona even though she doesn't look older."

"Ah yes."

"Are we going to tweet about this?" Jin asked.

"No. Let's inform it to the BigHit staff only. Later on, if needed, we will explain. Let's keep the dorm in's and out's private."

"I wonder" Jin lowered his gaze to the letter again, "Should we really try to defend her? We don't even know her that well, Namjoon. And I've felt strange this week. I saw her around and that really concerned me. Do you think we can suddenly trust her?"

Namjoon took a deep breath and smiled, "Bang PD-nim has personally told me to blindly trust on her. Though I'm not fully satisfied by her sudden introduction, I am sure that whatever is happening is for our welfare. Everything will be alright. And Hyung, don't you think that the time when she'll come at the dorm, we'll be able to keep an eye on her too?"

Jin nodded. Namjoon wished everyone goodnight and locked himself in his room. He flopped on his bed. His gaze pierced the darkness in the ceiling and his mind flowed back to the sea of doubts and worries again. Tomorrow... his inner voice echoed, tomorrow she will come.

His eye lids blanketed his tired eyes and he was instantly swept away by the thick wave of deep slumber. The week was tiring, he babbled with his eyes shut. His thoughts faded as his brain ceased to think anymore and his eyes embraced the dark.

The moon shone brightly on the Seoul skyline and the clouds were hollow and airy.

In two different buildings, Helena and Taehyung silently gazed at the moon in their windows, while the moon gazed at Namjoon who slept with his arms wrapped around the Pokémon toy.
