House of Cards {Taehyung x Reader}

Chapter 35

The room was dark except or the sliver of light coming from the bathroom. My hand slid across the empty space next to me, Yoongi was already up. His warmth from last night already left me.

I wonder what time it was.

Propping myself up on my elbows scanning the room for a clock.

"Thanks for understanding." I heard a quiet voice come from the bathroom. "Yeah." He paused. "I'll see you tomorrow."

By that point I had completely sat up and my eyes were able to stay fully open. He didn't seemed surprised when he saw me awake, in fact he smiled.

"Good morning, (y/n). I already ordered you room service, it should be here soon." He began digging through his bag. It was weird for Yoongi, of all people, to take care of me. We had always been close. Id go to him in my times of need and he'd listen to whatever I had to say, sometimes he'd do the same with me. But never have I imagined him trying to nurse me back to health.

"Who were you talking to?" My voice was low and gravily from just waking up.

"The rapper I'm working with. I told him I couldn't meet with him today." His eyes were now focused on his laptop that was sprawled out along the small desk along with the mini keyboard he brought with him when ever he travelled.

"Why would you do that? Isn't that the whole point of you coming here?"

"Yes, but I refuse to let you leave my side while I'm here." A smile crept on my face.

"That's sweet of you but it's Friday, I have 2 exams today that I can't miss."

"Then I'm coming with you." He took no time to respond and his voice was completely monotone meaning he was serious.

"Sug-"

"I told you I'm not letting you leave my side. Even if that means I have to spend a day at school with you."

I refused to argue with him. He's stubborn and once he sets his mind to something he won't change it.

His manager agreed I had to go to school, it was the whole point I was in California in the first place. After he told Yoongi he couldn't go they have a half an hour argument, Bang PD even got involved. He refused to say why he wouldn't let me go to school without him which made the matters a lot worse. But inevitably it ended with Yoongi winning.

When we pulled up to school people immediately turned their attention to the 2 large black vans that pulled into the parking lot. One had Yoongi and I, the other was full of body guards that would be following us the entire day. He didn't seem nervous at all to go to a highschool full of fangirls that only speak english.

The 6 guards from the van behind us had already formed a two lines to surround us as we went through the crowd. He was wearing all black, including a mask and a hat, making it extremely easy to tell who he was. When we stepped out of the car the crowd had started to grow. Girls were screaming, people were crying, and photos were being taken at every angle. He simply placed his hand on my back as he lightly pushed me into the building.

He proudly walked next to me in the halls, a visitors pass dangled around his neck. People inside the school were a lot more calm than when we were outside. They still took photos and whispered about us but they no longer formed a crowd and let us walk the halls freely.

We sat in the back of my math class. Suga immediately pulled out his laptop and began working on something. The girls that sat in front of me would glance back at us and push out their chest in attempt to catch Yoongi's attention. He remained unaware of everything going on during the class.

"You got that wrong." He pointed at my paper.

"What? No." I took a second look double checking my work. He grabbed the pencil out of my hand and circled the 2 squared that I accidently neglected at the beginning of the problem. "Well shit." I slumped in my chair, he let out a small laugh. I grumpily ran my fingers through my hair and was met with the growling of my stomach. Yoongi's smile dropped and he turned to his bag.

"Are you okay? You need something to eat? Here." He didn't let me speak. He placed 2 cookies and juice box in front of me. I gave him a strange look as he opened the juice box for me, perfectly placing the straw in the carton.

"Thanks mom."

"You're wel- Hey! I'm not Jin." He playfully hit me. "Do your work." He put his head phones back on.

I continued working silently. I was completely engrossed in my work until I heard the slight hum from a certain man.

"Yoongi. Are you humming cypher?"

"Ms. (l/n) and Mr. Min if you're going to continue to disrupt the class by talking I'll have to ask you to leave." The teacher quickly said before turning back to her lesson. We simply looked at eachother and tried not to laugh.

...

After being yelled at multiple times and most of my classes it was finally time to go back to the hotel. Luckily during the day we didn't run into Alex, Yoongi might be small but he has the rage of an elephant. If he saw him I'm afraid he would be arrested for homicide.

I spent the rest of the day next to Yoongi, never leaving my side. He took me to a fancy shopping center downtown and walked with me into each other the store. I'm pretty sure the only reason he took me there was so he could continue to force feed me food.

I was determined for him to have a good time as well, instead of just following me around. I pushed him into stores and made him try on outfits. We would pick clothes out for each other and have mini fashion shows. The only thing we ended up buying was matching shirts which I bought as a joke. On the front in gross green font said "two peas in a pod" and had a cartoon photo of a pod of peas sprawled over both the shirts kind of like a puzzle.

It was nice to finally smile. All of this reminded me what it was like to live in Seoul and it caused my heart to ache more. I'd do anything to go back.

Tomorrow I will be going to with him to the studio to record. I tried to convince him to let me stay at the hotel but I was met with one of his 'don't try me' faces.

I'm glad I have him. I'm glad I have all of them. The thought of going back to them was the only thing that kept me going.

A/N: This was sort of a filler chapter but some spicy stuff is brewing up next chapter. What do you guys think so far? -M
