Puppies and Heartaches

After visiting two radio stations and People magazine to do a few quick interviews, the last stop of the day is Buzzfeed. I follow the boys inside, awestruck by the bright modern building as we're led to the filming studio for the interview.

"I'll have you guys all sit here," one of the staff members tells them while motioning towards the floor. The boys all exchange a confused look, but they take a seat on the floor together nonetheless.

"Oh my god!" Hoseok squeals happily. I follow his gaze to the door, where two people are walking in with puppies in their arms. Almost immediately, the rest of the boys are cooing over the puppies as they're placed on the floor with them.

Jungkook scoops one of the puppies up immediately, and Taehyung talks to the one closest to him to coax the pup closer. Jin giggles like a little girl when one of the other puppies runs up to him and the last one slowly wanders up to Jimin. It takes every ounce of self-control I have not to completely melt at how cute Jimin looks while holding onto that puppy.

For this particular interview, the boys are left alone with the puppies while Namjoon reads each question aloud, first in English and then Korean. He and Hoseok do most of the talking, seeing as the rest of the boys are completely engrossed in the puppies.

"Your album is called Love Yourself, but who else do you love?" Namjoon reads out, and the boys all think for a minute. "I love my mom."

"I love ARMY!" Hoseok says while moving his puppy's paws, just before said puppy escapes his grasp and runs to Yoongi.

"I love you," Jin says to Namjoon, and Namjoon blushes.

"I love you too," he smiles back at him.

"I love puppy," Yoongi mumbles while his attention is fixed on the small dog in his arms, making Jimin laugh.

"I love my family." Jungkook looks up at me as I try to keep from crying like an idiot in front of them, but Jimin still notices and smiles. I walk away when my cheeks burn against my own hand, trying to get it together after what Jungkook just said.

"That was so sweet," Charlotte whispers once I get to the back corner where she's standing.

"He's a royal pain, but he's the sweetest guy I've ever known." I watch fondly as the puppy gives Jungkook kisses. He looks like he's on cloud 9.

"My brother is the same way," she giggles. "I think that's just how they're built."

"I think you're right." I look back over to the boys, who seem to be wrapping up the interview. Poor Namjoon is trying desperately to be able to play with one of the puppies, but it keeps running away from him. The sight of it makes me and Charlotte silently die of laughter in our corner, watching as he pouts at the small dog with his hands outstretched.

"That dog knows Namjoon will break him," Charlotte whispers. "He breaks everything he touches."

"My apologies to your bed," I snicker, and her eyes get wide as saucers.

"Jungk— I mean Jungsoon!" She looks at the floor in embarrassment. "That's something your brother would say."

"Are we wrong?" I tease, and she just shakes her head.

"I don't use a bed frame anymore," she admits, and I almost scream at her confession.

"You know, if our names confuse you, you can just call me Jenny," I offer. "That's what everyone called me back in England."

"But that's not your name." Charlotte pouts. "Isn't there a word like 'Oppa'? But for girls?"

"'Unnie' means 'big sister' for girls," I tell her, and she smiles.
