Noona

Questions

"You guys, I'm excited to have our guest for today's show back." Ellen tells the audience from the front of the stage. "Please welcome BTS!"

One by one, the boys walk on stage with Namjoon leading them out. Each of them gives Ellen a hug before taking a seat on the couch and stools set for them. I cheer extra loud for Jungkook as he sits down in the back row beside Jin.

"Now, I feel like you guys don't require an introduction anymore, but let's go ahead and do a quick roll call, you know, just for fun." Ellen motions towards Namjoon to start the introductions.

"Hi, my name is RM, and I'm kind of like the spokesperson for the group so..." he trails off as the audiences roars into cheers.

"Hi guys, I'm V," Taehyung holds up his hands in a cute little wave, followed by more screaming.

"Good to see you guys again!" Hoseok waves his arms over his head at the crowd. "I'm your hope. You're my hope. I'm J-Hope."

Oh my god, did he really just say that?

I snicker into my palm at Hoseok's self-introduction, making a couple of girl sitting next to me sneer in disapproval. I mouth 'sorry' to them, but they're attention is already on Yoongi, whose soft voice can't even be heard over the screaming crowd.

"Hi!" Jungkook waves at the crowd, making my heart swell with pride. He looks so stinking cute up there with his friends, so I sneak a few pictures on my phone to send to our parents.

"So," Ellen starts once the boys finish introducing themselves, "you guys are starting your world tour here in Los Angeles. How does it feel to be back?"

Namjoon tells her how much they love Los Angeles and getting to see their international fans, and Taehyung and Hoseok add in when they can find the words. I force myself not to laugh at how lost the rest of them look, but Jin isn't even pretending to listen, which cracks me up.

"Now, you call your fans ARMY, and they certainly are dedicated like an army, but are you dating any of your armies?" Ellen looks to Namjoon to translate, but he just laughs and shakes his head.

"We spend so much time traveling and working, so it's hard to have a relationship with how busy we all are." He looks around at the group, but none of the boys have anything to add to that question.

"Okay... except I don't believe you for a second." She presses, making Namjoon laugh even more. He must be trying to protect Charlotte by not talking about her. "You guys are some of the most eligible bachelors in the world. In fact from the looks of it—"

The screen behind her flashes on with a picture from the LAX airport yesterday with me and Jungkook walking towards the cars. His arm is wrapped securely around my shoulders, pulling me into his side.

Oh dear

"—it seems like one of you brought your girlfriend with you." Ellen smirks as she waits for the boys' reactions.

"Noona!" Taehyung cheers, and Namjoon and Hoseok echo him while the rest of the boys laugh.

"Ahhhhh so this 'Noona', it's hard to tell from the picture but is that you, V?" Ellen looks between Taehyung and the screen, but he doesn't seem to understand what's going on.

"No no no, that's Jungkook and his big sister." Namjoon clarifies for her. "In Korean, we call older girls 'Noona' like 'big sister', so she is our noona."

"Hi Noona!" Taehyung spots me in the front row and waves happily, and I shyly raise my hand back.

"Wait, she's here? You brought her to the show?" Ellen looks around excitedly and follows their eyes to me. "Is this your um— your noona?"
