Elixir

Chapter 31

1st December, 2017

Everyone exhibited their grief anticipation when the leader pronounced the word 'MAMA'

"They've caused so much trouble to the armys" Jin grimaced, "I've read about how they faced voting problems."

RM simply nodded and walked out of the dorm, followed by the members to a black sleek limo that drove to the awards venue.

It was a tense environment, with eagerness and anxiety seeping in. The international armys tried to show their affection by flooding their wishes and support on the social sites and streaming the live broadcast. It was worth all the efforts the armys took, and BTS won 'Artist of the year', 'Best music video of the year' and 'Best Asian style' and that was enough to engrave some satisfaction amongst them.

There were uncountable hate comments from the armys for Mnet, the boys only sighed and smiled at their overflowing love and defensive nature for them.

The ceremony ended soon enough and they had only 5 hours of sleep to get ready for the MMA ceremony.

It was a huge shock for the armys when BTS suddenly performed an emotional explanation with a dance percussion at the starting of 'Spring Day'. Theories of BTS depicting the Sewol tragedy came up. Their performance was better than ever, the maknae literally broke his limbs dancing, and they all tweeted their thankfulness later that night.

The boys slumped in their beds, it was all too exhausting. Jin arched his back on a hot pack, Namjoon applied layers of balm on his forehead, Jimin and Jungkook together massaged each other's backs, Suga gulped three mugs of coffee, Jhope dipped his feet in a hot water bucket and Taehyung spread himself on his bed, lying lifelessly staring at the ceiling.

Helena softly knocked on his door. He couldn't get up, and merely voiced for her to enter.

"You all did so well" she said and sat beside him on the bed, placing her hand on his white smooth sheets. Her ring finger glimmered in the dim mellow light of the room.

"Thanks" he replied, eyes closed.

"So, you really did wear the ring in your middle finger" she said in an amused tone.

He managed to get up and looked at her, taking her adorned hand in his. "I had already mentioned that I would. I don't falter when it comes to fashion"

"Ohhhhhh" she teasingly extended the sound, "Fashion..."

"And neither do I hesitate in love" his voice sounded low and his face came closer to hers. She flipped her head away and stopped him.

"You are tired" she said firmly

"So?"

"So, you should rest, I'll get you hot chocolate."

"Ah, no wait- "

She ignored him tugging her sleeve or his baby attempts to grab her hand and paced out of his room. He kept tapping his feet on the carpet until she appeared again, with a steaming mug in her hand. He gasped and happily took it in his grasp.

"It's so soothing" he said after a sip, "I love how it works away my fatigue every time"

Helena smiled and looked at him with affection as he emptied the whole mug with an appreciable speed and licked his lips in satisfaction.

"I'm all fresh now" he spoke with endeavoured surety, "Please sleep here, I need you." She was lost for a moment in his genuine eyes.

"Alright" she answered, "But I'll only sleep, we are not going to do anything."
