Under the Stars {Hani x RM}

Oct 13, 2016: The Plan

Thursday (October 13th, 2016) - 6:30 PM

Namjoon couldn't take his eyes away. He wanted to stare at this text forever.

"Can't wait to see you perform today! You've worked really hard, so do your best! Fighting!"

Hani had sent the text that morning with an attached selca she took with Hyerin, both of them holding their own BTS light-sticks. Hani was winking and sticking out her tongue playfully while wearing a snapback that had "Rap Monster" printed on it.

Seeing this picture made Namjoon want to giggle with glee, but he managed to restrain his excitement to just a big smile.

"Hyung, you've been smiley all day, and it's starting to creep me out," said Jimin, who was hovering over him.

"Yeah," agreed Hoseok, "what's up with you?"

"I bet it has to do with someone whose name rhymes with 'Bani,'" cooed Jungkook as he made little bunny ears with his hands.

It didn't take long for the guys to figure out Namjoon had a crush. After he got Hani's number at the beginning of the year, they texted each other almost everyday. They would share the books they were reading, the songs they were obsessed with, the crazy things their members did, etc. Namjoon would always grab his phone excitedly whenever he heard a text message alert and would look disappointed when the message wasn't from her.

It was almost impossible for them to see each other. They didn't promote at the same time, and their schedules conflicted too often. There were a couple rare occasions where they were able to facetime, but Hani had to cut it short every time.

"I'm sorry Namjoon-ah," she would say with a pouty face, "but I really need to help LE-unnie. She's been overworking herself to make our album, and I want to take care of her."

Although he was disappointed, he couldn't help but feel more attracted to how caring she was. He supplemented not being able to hear her voice by watching her host episodes of Weekly Idol. He was really jealous that her co-host, Heechul, got to be with her so often but was happy to see her enjoying herself. Whenever EXID's full-length album came out, he found himself listening to Hani's solo song, "Hello," on repeat, and he couldn't even remember how many times he watched the "L.I.E." music video.

"You know, I heard that Hani and Xia Junsu broke up last month," Yoongi said obnoxiously loud towards Namjoon.

"Wow!" Hoseok placed his palms on his cheeks in fake shock, "I did not know that. Did you know that, Namjoon?"

He brought his bright eye smile right next to Namjoon's face. Not even phased, the leader just rolled his eyes.

Of course he knew. The second the news came out, he knew. He was glad he wouldn't have to see them on news sites anymore. Hani had told him it was all for publicity, but it still angered him to see them going on fake dates.

"Well surely someone is going to have to steal her heart now. Let's see..." Jimin tapped his chin and looked up thoughtfully before pointing at Seokjin, "what about you, hyung?"

The eldest member looked up in surprise but quickly played along, "I could picture us dating."

He turned to face Namjoon and smirked, "I mean, we are the same age; a woman like her deserves a real man after all."

"OK, that's enough. Do you guys really want to test me right before we debut our new song?" asked Namjoon with his arms crossed.

Hoseok went to stand behind his leader and wrapped his arms around him.

"Come on, you know we're just teasing."

Namjoon sighed as he pushed Hoseok's arms away, but he grinned after looking around at his members. He really did love and appreciate them, even if they liked pushing his buttons. They had been through a lot this year and were about to perform their new song, "Blood, Sweat, and Tears," on stage for the first time. All of the members were quite nervous, but teasing Namjoon seemed to take their minds off of things.

"Hyung," Jungkook began sheepishly, "are you really not going to do anything about her?"

"What do you mean?" the rapper responded.

"I mean, shouldn't you ask her out if you like her so much? She's single now anyway..." he trailed off, seeming unconfident in his suggestion.

Namjoon smiled at the maknae and walked over to pat his head, "You're right, Jungkook. That's why I have a plan."

The other members looked at him in shock.

"Y-you do?" asked Taehyung.

The rapper nodded, "I'm going to confess to her at the JYP New Year's Eve party."

Silence.

Namjoon looked around at the confused stares, "What?"

"That's in such a long time," said Jungkook.

"And how are you going to confess to her at a party? Won't it be too loud?" added Taehyung.

"Or too crowded?" continued Yoongi.

Namjoon shook his head, "Do you guys not know your leader? I am always prepared."

He turned to face Jungkook, "First of all, I know it's a couple months away, but we're having a comeback right now. We're going to be extremely busy for a while, and it's my job to put BTS first."

"As for privacy," Namjoon pointed at Taehyung and Yoongi, "you guys don't need to worry because the party will be in JYP's mansion, and I already asked Jackson if he could hook me up with one of the private balcony rooms. I'll confess to her on the balcony as we look up at the stars, and we can watch the fireworks together."

Namjoon clapped his hands together, "See? I've got it all figured out."

All the boys nodded and clapped for their leader.

"It sounds good, Namjoon," said Seokjin with a thumbs up, "let's just hope you don't screw things up."

"Yeah, remember how he managed to break our ceiling fan just by closing a door?" asked Jimin.

"Or that time he fell down so hard in the practice room that he left a dent in the floor?" laughed Hoseok.

"Or that time-"

"OK, I get it. I'll be careful," Namjoon interrupted, "You guys never give me a break."

"Hyung! Hyung!" Jungkook waved his hand in the air like he was trying to get a teacher to call on him.

"Yes, Jungkook?" Namjoon said while pointing at him.

"Are you going to kiss her when it hits midnight? It always looks so romantic in movies," the young boy's eyes sparkled.

Namjoon grinned at his cuteness, "I guess if everything goes well, it's possible."

Just then, there was a knock on the boys' dressing room door.

"BTS! You're on in 5 minutes!"

The members quickly went up to the mirrors to make sure they looked OK before heading out the door. Namjoon took one last glance at his morning text from Hani and beamed at the thought of her watching him on TV. With a boost of confidence, he ran to catch up with his members.

He could be lovestruck Namjoon later.

Right now, he was BTS's fearless leader: Rap Monster.
