"It's about damn time you got this damn song finished!" Manager Nim chirps as the eight of us sit in the sound booth with my lyrics sprawled in front of them.
"You really know how to take your time to make something good, don't you, hyung?" Jungkook chuckles with a grin as he shoots me a wink.
"This hyung always waits till the last second. Have you forgotten he just likes to take his time and move slow with everything?" Taehyung jokes lightly as he looks around at the others, eliciting laughs from all of them with the exception of Manager Nim who simply smiles at his words.
I just smile at the seven of them, just happy it's done. Just knowing that it'll all be over soon. No longer worried about what the fans are gonna think or what they're going to say when any of the songs I've written drop. Not worried about how Manager Nim would want to flip shit on me if any one of the songs are a flop. No longer worried about a damn thing. The boys are content with it, the lyrics and music is finished, Manager Nim seems to be accepting of it. My work is nearly done. All that's left is for us to record it, and then the album gets dropped tomorrow night. I've already booked some shitty motel room for tomorrow night.
No, I won't be celebrating with sleep tomorrow night when the album is getting released. No, I won't be celebrating quite the same thing tomorrow night when the seven of us go out for dinner to celebrate the release of the album that'll be to come. No, it'll be none of that.
"Maybe you'll even be able to sleep without any nightmares tomorrow night, hyung." Jimin jokes lightly, nudging me arm as he says it just loud enough for me to hear. I can see the lightness of how he means for it to come off, though I try not to take it as the way majority of myself wants to take it. I struggle to believe that it's simply a joke, that I'm not actually a nuisance for him by snuggling up and sleeping with him like I have been for the past few nights. It's the first he's mentioned of it since I started, but I just fake a smile and shrug.
"Maybe. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how tomorrow night goes." I tell him softly, a small earnest smile on my lips as I enjoy the simply fact of how close I am to being able to leave this damned hell. Jimin's the only one who's ever really made all of this worth it, but it's just not enough anymore. He's better than me, and he deserves better anyways. Besides, he's got all of the other boys. He certainly seems much closer with Jungkook and Tae anyways, which would make sense considering they're much closer to his age and his mentality than myself.
"Alright, boys. Let's get to recording this thing so that we can get this album dropped tomorrow night! Yoongi, I expect you to stay here and work through all of the parts with the others so that this song can come off the album as clean as possible." Manager Nim informs us before leaving.
With his instructions, everyone calms down a bit, seeming to settle at the fact that we've got just a little more work to do. And so, I force myself to focus for just a little longer, just needing to get through the next thirty six hours. Just need to make it to tomorrow night and all will be good.
Though, as we draw closer and closer to being finished with recording the song, the more choked up and closer to crying I grow. I'm not entirely sure if it's because I'll have to leave them in order to leave, or if it's out of happiness, or over the fact that I'll certainly miss Jimin, but whatever the reason, it frustrates me. I don't need to be over here crying while we're loading up the last song for the album.
So, I bite my lip and try to force myself to get my act together. Of course, I can never win in this damn life, Jimin having to notice my choked up state.
"Hyung? Aww, what's wrong?" Jimin asks with a small frown as he jogs over to where I'm sat alone by the controls. I swallow hard, smiling up at the younger boy. He ignores it though, coming over and wrapping his arms around me.
"Aww, is it because of the album almost being finished and because of the song, hyung?" Jimin asks with a small smile as he looks down to me. Forcing the smile to stay, I merely nod my head.
"Yeah, Jiminie. That's what it is."
