Almost six months later
I sat on the floor in my rehearsal studio. Justin was out getting food and I was in the room alone. I had a lunch to eat but I didn't feel like eating it.
Namjoon had been gone on tour for three months now. He called me when he could but with travel time, jet lag, and his rehearsal and performance schedule, it wasn't often. When we did talk, it was only for a few minutes before he would either get tired or he would have to leave to go rehearse.
I hadn't been doing well in my rehearsals. I kept getting more off balance and more sloppy. Justin noticed it but tried not to point it out too much. I missed Namjoon like crazy and I wasn't sure if I could take another two months of this.
Though I missed him, I was proud of him. All of the boys were slowly becoming more popular and their music was doing very well. They were winning awards for their albums and MVs. They were selling out entire stadiums.
The door to the rehearsal room opened, breaking me out of my thoughts. Justin walked back into the room. Another person walked in with him. It was PD-nim. My heart started to race. He closed the door behind him, walked over to me and extended his hand to me. I took it and stood up. Once I was on my feet, I quickly bowed.
"How are you doing?" Bang PD asked.
"I'm good." I responded.
"Good. Do you have a moment to chat?" He asked.
"Yes." I responded.
"I know that it's been hard on you being away from the boys for this long. I also know that your one year anniversary with Namjoon is tomorrow." PD-nim said.
My eyes widened a little bit.
"You are also doing very well in your training so Justin and I agreed that you should have a break." PD-nim said.
He paused. I was anxious. My hands were shaking.
"That is why I am sending you to their next show location tomorrow." PD-nim said with a smile.
My breath caught in my throat.
"You're joking." I said, still in disbelief.
"Not about this." He said.
I bowed and thanked him.
"Wait, who else knows?" I asked.
"Just me, you, a couple security guards, and Justin." He responded.
I nodded.
"I'm sending you with one security guard. He will be picking you up at nine in the morning and he'll go through all the details then. He will be staying in a hotel room connected to yours that way you can still have your privacy but he'll still be there to protect you." He explained.
"Thank you so much." I said, bowing quickly again.
"For now, I want you to practice for a couple more hours before you go home and pack." He said.
"Yes sir." I said.
PD-nim smiled at me before walking out of the room. As soon as the door closed, Justin and I made eye contact.
"You heard the man." Justin laughed.
I laughed.
I practiced for two more hours, just like PD-nim asked. When I was done, I grabbed my things and went to my car. I put my stuff in my car, got in and drove home. Once I got, I grabbed my things and went into the house. I locked the door behind me. I took my shoes off, placing them by the door before going upstairs. I walked up to my bedroom and set my dance bag in its place. I pulled out my suitcase and set it on the bed. I unzipped it and opened it up.
I started with my clothes. I put together about twelve outfits and put them neatly in the suitcase. I walked out of the bedroom and down to the front door. I opened my shoe cabinet and grabbed a few pairs of shoes. I headed back up to my room and packed the shoes carefully into the suitcase.
I felt my pocket start to buzz. I quickly pulled out my phone and looked at it. Namjoon was calling me. I answered the call as I walked into the bathroom to pack my toiletries. The FaceTime call connected and I saw Namjoon sitting on a couch, there was lots of noise behind him.
"Hey Joon. How are you?" I answered.
"I'm good. I finished getting ready early so I could talk to you for a few minutes." He said.
I smiled and continued to pack.
"Hey, I'm sorry I haven't called in a while. We've been really busy lately and I-" Namjoon said.
"It's okay. I understand. Don't worry about it." I said, cutting him off.
"Is that Emma?" A familiar voice said.
Jimin appeared next to Namjoon. He smiled at me and waved. I smiled and waved back.
"Let's go!" A voice shouted.
Namjoon looked at me.
"It's time to perform." Jimin said.
"Have fun guys!" I said enthusiastically.
Jimin left the screen.
"I will call you later. I love you." Namjoon said.
"I love you too." I said before blowing a kiss to the camera.
Namjoon smiled and waved at me before ending the call. I focused again on packing. I packed all of my makeup into my makeup bag and zipped it closed. I pulled out another bag and put my spare hairbrush, combs, hair ties, and hair pins in it. I zipped it closed and pulled out all of the hair products that I would need and set them on the counter. I grabbed my makeup bag, hair bag and some of the hair products on the counter and went back into my room. I packed everything in my arms in my suitcase. Then, I went back and grabbed the rest of the hair products, packing those carefully in my suitcase. I walked back into the bathroom and grabbed any other toiletries I would need and packed them in the suitcase as well.
I zipped up the suitcase and set it on the floor. I rolled it over to the door before going back over to my closet. I pulled out my backpack and set it on the bed. I packed my spare phone chargers, my laptop, laptop cords, laptop mouse, portable chargers, my keys, and my wallet. Once everything was neatly in my backpack, I zipped it up and placed it beside my suitcase. I walked back over to my closet and picked out an outfit. I chose a pair of dark blue denim shorts, white short-sleeved shirt with grey pinstripes, and white vans. I hung my clothes over the foot of my bed and closed my closet.
Tomorrow is going to be a very eventful day.
