Inked

Chapter 15 - Double identity

We reached a door at the far end of the floor and I heard music blasting inside. She smiled and left me to do the rest. I waved her goodbye and she left with a huge grin. I knocked on the door but it was useless since I was sure that he was unable to hear me. I slowely opened the door and found him in his production chair writing down some lines. Right next to him was Tae who was on his phone. He was the first one to notice me and me being here confused him completly. He poked Namjoon who turned off the music after Tae pointed at me behind him.

" You look like you have seen a...", Namjoon mocked the younger one but he stopped in his tracks as he saw me in his studio.

" What are you doing here?", Tae asked rather cold.

Namjoon looked at the younger one and scolded him for being impolite.

" Whatever", Tae said and left while slamming the door behind him.

"Sorry about him. Why are you on crutches? Do not tell me that those girls found you", Namjoon asked me concerned and helped me to sit down.

" Oh no that happened before that. Just forgot it when I was walking around earlier. I forgot the mask and your cap. I will return them to you next time", I said to him.

He raised his hand and shook his head: "I have alot. Keep them".

"How come I get to meet you twice a day?", he asked me curiously.

" I want to work with you. Hitman said that it is your choice", I said honest.

He seemed suprised about my explaination. After seeing Tae react like this to me ealier I was sure that he knew some things about me that I was not proud of at all.

" Look Namjoon I understand it if you do not want to work with me...", I said and was about to get up but he stopped me as he grabbed my hand in an instinct and let go after he realised what he did.

"I want to understand what you want to make. I trust my gut feeling over what others say", he said smiling.

Did that mean that he did not believe the things he heard. I was unsure if I could believe him.

"I want to see what is inside the Pandoras Box that you opened earlier. I hid it under my bed for so long and somehow you lines made me realise that in order to create me and fix me I need to let go of the content. Somehow I believe that you are the only one who could make me let go of it", I rammbled.

"Ok then it is settled. We are a team", he said satisfied and texted his CEO.

"Two conditions though Noona", he said rather serious.

I looked at him questioning and nodded.

"No more double faced behaviour with me. I see through it. Second: Now we are friends so no more secrets", he said offering me a pinky promise.

"Ok but you have to keep all the things that I say to you. Outside this here you are not entitled to interfere in any business with any other person. I am a cold bitch outside the studio. I have my reasons for this", I said and he locked the promise without any hesitation.

We talked about some ideas that I had but we were stuck.

" Ok we need a break. Let me introduce you to the rest of BTS and have a coffee with them", he said helping me up.

I hesitated and he smiled at me.

"They will not eat you", he said laughing.

"Whatever happens out there remember your promise", I said and walked out.

Namjoon closed the door behind us and we walked side by side towards a big training room.

"They are training right now so excuse the smell", he said chuckling and opened the doors.

The boys were focused so they did not even notice us come in. Hobbi was leading the training and he was very serious about each move. Namjoon turned off the music and said: " We have a guest and Hobbi do not kill the others. Jungkook and Tae could you grab some coffees and cake for us all?".

Tae and Jungkook did as they were told and vanished. Tae did not even look at me before he left. Jungkook greeted me smiling and left to catch up with Tae.

I could not even blame him at all.

" Guys introduce yourself", Namjoon ordered and the boys came over and greeted me formally.

"It is nice to meet you all. I am NJ", I said and all the smiles on their faces were wipped off. They looked rather shook at their leader who was suprised by the reaction of the others.

"Behave", Namjoon scolded them and they smiled fakely.

"What brings you here?", Yoongi asked me laying down on the ground and closing his eyes.

"Well we are collaboration on a special project. It is a secret and falls under the NDA", Namjoon reminded them.

Absent mindedly they nodded but seemed suspicous of my motives. Namjoons' phone was ringing and he excused himself to answer it. As he glided outside the rest of the team came back with coffee and cake. The mood changed as soon as Namjoon vanished outside. I could feel them all stare at me. Jin handed me a cup with freshly made coffee and a plate with cake.

"Here you go. I hope it is not too hot", Jin said as I took a carful sip from the mug and nodded.

" So you are NJ. You are famous you know", Jimin said with a cold face.

I looked at the rest and they just sat there not saying anything.

" Well I guess I am", I said smirking.

" Oh yes. You make great music but you hurt a friend of ours. That is why you are famous", he said harshly.

" Jimin you should not judge someone by the stories you hear. This also is not your concern", I said back calmely.

On the inside all the pain that I had buried was bubbling up again and I did not like it. I was not good at holding my temper.

" If you say so Miss Liar", he said mocking and my grip on that cup became so tight that the steaming coffee poured on my hand. I held in the scream of pain that was building up in me and looked at Jimin death serious.

"Grow up honey", I said as I wipped my hand and stood up.

Namjoon was back and must have seen the scene since he took a look at my hand.

"Let us go to the infirmary", he said worried and was about to go but the held in. He was raging and before he was going off at Jimin I held onto his arm making him look at me. Afterall he made a promise not to interfere and he seemed to rememeber that.

" Clean the mess up Jimin", he ordered as we left. The nurse treated my hand and was suprised that I was not crying in pain since the burn was pretty bad. After being treated Namjoon and I went back to his studio. He did not say anything until the door closed behind us.

" Namjoon why do you treat me different to others. You know what has happened with GOT7", I asked him as I rubbed the back of my hand.

The anger he felt was blown away and he breathed in and spoke: " I heard some stories about you but I believe what I see. You know I am good friends with Jackson and he said to me that you put up a wall between you and them. If he tells me that you are a good person then I believe him. As far as I can judge I am sharing his view. Even as you were accussed wrongly you still remain calm or at least did not start a fight".

I laughed at his words. How could Jackson think that I am good? Maybe he was smarter then most of the others. He saw through my play.

" Enough of talking. Let us start making music. Honesty and rawness makes the best song out there", Namjoon said as he picked up his guitar and started to stroke some strings.

I sat there listening to the randome chords he played and hummed  a melody. In a bliss we had put together a beat with a melody. All that was left were lyrics. I randomely started to sing about me. The pain that  I felt for letting the one that I loved go. The setting of the song was me at the Han River a few hours ago. It was a monolouge put in a song. Namjoon was a genuine artist and his words gave the song more meaning. At the end of the night we had the first track done. Listening back to it made me cry and Namjoon as well.

" True magic", he whispered as the song ended.
