In Another Lifetime

Strawberries

It was finally lunch time, and it turned out Kyung Mi had ordered, and had lunch delivered. The boys ended up sitting on the floor in the practice room, while we sat at the table in what I had decided to call the radio room. Needless to say, lunch was delicious.

~♡~

After lunch, the boys continued practicing, while Mi Ok and I went to our hair/make up room, so she could help me pack my bag to take to the show. It wasn't too difficult, because everything I would be using for Tae was all together. The make up for his skin tone, and the lip tint he preferred, anything I would need for him, were all already in my area, so all I had to do was transfer it to the bag.

Once that was done, we went to the dressing room and Mi Ok checked on their outfits, which were all bagged up and ready to be taken to the venue. She explained that they would be picked up and delivered by a courier service that was regularly used.

We headed back to the practice room and walked in to see all the boys leaning, hands on their knees, catching their breath. They looked exhausted. Tae and Jimin each had a small towel hanging around their neck.

"Guys, lets take a 15 minute break." RM said, straightening up and stretching his arms over his head.

Tae walked towards me, pulling the towel off, and when he stopped in front of me, I took the towel from his hand, and wiped the sweat from his face and neck. It still made me slightly dizzy being this close to him, and having this responsibility.

"You look worn out."

"A little. It helps knowing that we get to be done by 6, though," he said, still breathing hard. " I was thinking later we could get something for dinner, maybe eat at your place."

"Yeah, sure. That would be nice." My heart sped up at the mention of having dinner at my place. Spending time together, just the two of us, was something I didn't think I'd ever get enough of, and since I didn't have all that much time, I was going to take all I could get.

" Okay, I'll order closer to when we'll be finished, there's a place a couple buildings down that has amazing kimchi fried rice. We can just grab it when we leave here, and take it to your apartment. I don't feel like dealing with the public today."

"Sounds great."

RM had indicated that break was over, and Taehyung took a breath, and headed back to the dance floor.

I went into the radio room, and sat at the table with the other girls.

"Hey Laney, how has it been, working with Taehyung?" Sang Hee asked, smiling at me.

I hesitated for a second, not sure what I wanted to say. I was sure all these girls realized how drop dead gorgeous all these men were, but they were also all married. I also wasn't mentioning that he had asked me to be his girlfriend, because I didn't know if he wanted them, or anyone, to know. I knew he wasn't supposed to get involved with his stylist, he'd told me that himself.

"Uh, he's great. He's super nice, and he's made me feel comfortable enough. I like working with him."

They all looked at me, then at each other, and giggled. I looked at each of them, and they all had goofy  grins on their faces.

"Silly girl," Mi Ok said,  the single dimple appearing as she smiled at me. "Don't you know he likes you?"

"Yeah, it's as plain as the nose on my face. Girl, he's got it bad for you." Soo Yun chimed in.

I looked from one to the other of them, and Hei Ran laughed. "It's not a bad thing. At least you have a chance. You're the only one of us that isn't married."
