Noona

Cheerio

"Who exactly are we meeting again?" Jin asks skeptically.

"My friend from medical school," I tell him for the third time today. When I told the boys that I was going to hang out with a friend today, Jin and Jungkook insisted that they come along to 'ensure they I was safe'.

And somehow, my rendezvous with Michael has turned into a Bangtan field trip through London. Taehyung has already wandered off twice, and Hoseok had to stop for 5 minutes to mess with the Buckingham Palace guards. Namjoon somehow knows more about London than I do and has taken over as tour guide, but the weirdest part of it all is that Yoongi hasn't glared at me even once today.

"Is she hot?" Yoongi asks me, not seemingly to actually care about the answer.

"He is very attractive," I reply, "but he's also a total playboy. I'm sure he and Jimin would get along very well."

Jungkook scrunches his nose. "Noona, I don't know if it's a good idea for you to go off with this dude."

"I assure you, Kookie, Michael is totally harmless towards me." I take the boys into the cafe, and just as soon as we all walk in, the quiet little shop is disturbed by a tall man rushing through the other customers.

"Jenny!" A mop of curly brown hair comes barreling towards me, earning confused stares from Jungkook and his friends.

"Michael, would you calm down?" I giggle at my bombastic friend once he gets closer. "You're freaking out the other customers."

"That's fine by me!" Michael scoops me up in his arms and lifts me high in the air. "I've missed you, my little flower!"

"I've missed you too," I tell him, though he shows no signs of setting me down.

Michael gives me a kiss on the cheek, his standard greeting. I smile at the affection, but the boys are shell-shocked by Michael's behavior.

"I don't like him," Jin says from behind me.

"Is this your brother?" Michael chirps while setting me back on the ground. He gives Jin a warm smile and holds out his arms for a hug. "It's nice to meet you, mate!"

"No, this is Jin." I shake my head and lookup to Seokjin. "Oppa, this is Michael, my best friend. Please be nice to him."

"Fine, but only for you," Seokjin mumbles back.

"They don't speak English, eh?" Michael slowly lowers his hands and waves instead.

"They understand the basics, but don't expect to have very lengthy conversations with them." I tell him, just as Jin steps forward with his hand outstretched.

"Nice to meet you," he says in his best English.

"You too," Michael smiles awkwardly and shakes his hand. His eyes wander the group for a moment until he spots Jungkook. "Wait, your brother is the dark-haired one, isn't he?"

"You guessed it," I turn over my shoulder and wave at the boy in question, "Jungkook, come say hi."

Jungkook walks up from the back of the group and smiles at Michael. "Hi, I'm Jungkook."

"I see 'J' names are quite popular in South Korea." Michael chuckles and shakes my brother's hand. "Good to finally meet you, mate."

"Yeah," Jungkook forces a shy smile before subconsciously shrinking behind me.

"Soooo..." Michael holds his hand out to me, "shall we get going then?"

"Definitely," I nod and take his hand with a wave to Bangtan as Michael and I slip out of the cafe.
