Secrets

11. Are You Sleeping

I woke up to the phone in my room ringing. Untangling myself from my boyfriend with a groan, my whole body felt like I'd been through a workout, I went to answer it.

"Hello?" The sleepy English slipping out before I considered what language I might need.

"Oh good, you're up there. Your phone has been off for a few hours and you didn't answer when we knocked. We we're hoping you were just asleep."

I blinked at the phone for a minute while I processed the language change. "Jimin, I haven't left the...the...the building of borrowed rooms...no."

Jimin laughed as I struggled to remember the word. "Now we just have to find Yoongi."

"Did you check his bed?"

"Yes."

"Well that's not good. Is his phone dead?"

"Yeah, we were hoping he'd be with you. The hotel staff says he never left."

"I haven't seen him all day. Maybe he's just having some alone time. You know how he is. Let me know okay?"

"I will. Have a nice nap."

I hung up the phone and crawled back onto bed, back into Yoongi's arms, and closed my eyes. I knew I wouldn't be able to fall back asleep, but I wanted to enjoy being there with him a little longer.

After a few moments I felt him stretch and start playing with my hair again.

"If only you knew how much I love you. I will stay with you forever. I'd tell everyone, I just want to protect you."

I felt his lips on my forehead. Then he gently shook my shoulder. "Yah, Sleeping Beauty, wake up."

I groaned and pretended to wake up. I tildted my head back to look at him, earning a kiss.

"Round two?"

I smiled. "I'd love too, but Jimin called up here while you were sleeping. I didn't have it in me to wake you up. But BTS seems to be missing someone."

"In that case, I'll go be found and comeback when they're asleep."

"You better," I murmured, watching him dress. I got up and rapped myself in a sheet to walk him to the door.

He opened it and peaked outside to see if the coast was clear before stepping out.

"Yah!" I stepped out to the doorway and turned my face up.

Yoongi smirked and kissed me softly. "I'll see you later, flirt."

Later that evening I received a text saying everyone was going down for dinner in the hotel resturant. I found myself sitting across from Yoongi next to Hoseok.

"You may not value your life, but I'm not going to risk it."

Jimin laughed as Hoseok was trying to get me to agree to dance lessons.

"You can't be any more life threatening than Namjoon."

"Wanna bet?" I started as Namjoon yelled "Yah!" Both of us gesturing too wildly and kocking over glasses.

The rest of the table was near tears with laughter, except Yoongi who didn't find it as funny. I raised an eyebrow at him and he just shook his head slightly.

"Yah, Stormie?"

I turned to Taehyung.

"When does school start back up for you?"

Yoongi dropped his fork.

"Oh... I almost forgot about that. Um..." I pulled out my phone. "I'll have to be back at the begining of September. So I'll be with you guys up though Hong Kong."

"What are we going to do without our little sister?"

"I'm two years older thank you, Jungkook!"

"Oh yeah. I forgot. You're smaller than Jimin."

"Why are you picking on me now?!"

"Why are you all picking on me to begin with?!"

The entire dance line looked at me with eyebrows raised. "Because you like it."

"Surround sound rudeness."

Hanging out was always a loud affair. And, as fun as it was, I couldn't wait for it to be over. Tae had reminded me how limited my time seeing the boys daily was. How limited my time with Yoongi was.

So, late that night when he kocked on my door, I pulled his lips straight to mine. He grabbed my hips, holding me tightly. When he kicked the door closed, I felt sure he was thinking the same thing I was. We had about a month to fill ourselves of each other as much as possible. Starting now.
