"Touch my body!" Taehyung and I sang at the top of our lungs along with our favorite SISTAR song. The two of us sat in the back of Seokjin's car, he and Hoseok sat in the driver and passenger seats. They laughed and joined in singing from time to time.
Within ten minutes, we pulled up to the guys' moderately sized apartment. It never ceased to amaze me how far they had come since 2013. I remember visiting their dorm back in their first days as idols; they'd shared one room then. Though it was hard at the time, in the end it helped them bond more.
All of these thoughts ran through my mind as we walked into the building. I slipped my shoes off at the front door and put on a pair of soft slippers before walking across the threshold.
Taehyung followed close behind me, Seokjin and Hoseok having gone ahead of us. "It feels like it's been ages since you last came here," Tae said.
"You guys have barely been home this past year." I looked back at him, smiling sadly. When his face fell, I quickly shook my head. "Tae, don't look so sad. You guys are living your dreams and I am so proud of you. Sure it's hard not being able to see you often, but that's what makes our reunions so much sweeter."
His lips turned up slightly. "You're right, Eun-hee." He stroked my hair, dark eyes locking with mine. His hand moved down to cup my cheek and my breath hitched in my throat. "You look really pretty today." His eyes traveled up and down my bare face, the small smile fading as his gaze rested on my lips.
I covered his hand with my own. "Taehyung..." I trailed off, a bit confused by his actions and my own reaction to them. Are those butterflies in my stomach? Caused by my best friend?!
Tae's expression changed in a millisecond when the door opened and the other half of the boys walked in loudly. He dropped his hand and gave me a quick smile before walking into the kitchen hurriedly.
Namjoon came over to me first, slinging an arm around my shoulders. "Why was Taehyung in such a hurry?" He asked, motioning toward the kitchen door.
I shook my head and stared at the door in confusion. "I have no idea."
"Don't worry about it too much, Eun. You know how he can be sometimes." Namjoon squeezed my shoulder comfortingly.
Jimin and Jungkook slid over to us after taking off their shoes. "Did Namjoon tell you we're moving into a new apartment at the beginning of next month?" Jimin's question was random and caught me off guard.
I stepped away from Namjoon and looked up at him curiously. "No he didn't. Where will this new place be?"
Namjoon's smile was sheepish as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "PDnim is moving us into the apartments in Hannam."
"Hannam?!" I asked incredulously. "Those are super fancy!" I knew their producer, Bang Si-Hyuk, always tried to give the boys the best that he could afford. Though I never expected them to move into one of the highest tier apartment buildings in Seoul.
Jungkook grinned. "But it'll be a lot more private. The security is going to be super tight."
"Plus more space," Jimin chimed in.
I raised an eyebrow at Namjoon. "And when were you planning on telling me this, Mr. Kim?"
The two younger members snickered quietly at their leader and hurried into the kitchen to avoid his icy glare. I cleared my throat expectantly, causing Namjoon to look back at me guiltily. "Eun-hee, I'm sorry. I was just waiting for the right time."
Before I could reply, Yoongi shuffled up to us. "In his defense, he was planning on telling you some time today."
I sighed. "I'm happy for you guys. I really am." I smiled at both of them and saw Namjoon breathe in relief. "The extra security will be good for you."
