Meant To Be - Jungkook

Chapter 10

JK POV:

It was interesting finding out Paige's nationality.  Even being Asian myself, I don't think I could have guessed what her nationality was.  She doesn't look Asian at all.  I love that she comes from a mixed background.  I like finding out more about her.  It makes me feel closer to her.  

I am not sure what to do now.  We have rehearsals tomorrow so I can't really do much and I can't stay up too late.  I need my rest for tomorrow and the rest of the week will be busy too, leading up to the concerts.  There is always a lot to do.  Hopefully, Paige won't be too bored by herself.

I feel a little guilty now bringing her on tour with us.  I thought it would be a good test for whether or not we could have a relationship.  I still think it will, but if we barely see each other because I am so busy then how will we know anything?  I think it's more of a test for her to see if she could handle being with someone with my lifestyle.  

It seems like she can.  She doesn't seem like the clingy type but it's hard to know yet.  She doesn't seem like the jealous type either.  I don't plan on doing anything to betray her trust so that shouldn't be an issue.  I need to stop overthinking everything and just let it be.  What is meant to be will be.  

Paige POV:

I should probably try to get out and explore the city a little bit.  JK will be really busy this week and I won't be able to see him much during the day, if at all.  Maybe I should check out Fishermans Wharf.  I heard its a pretty cool place to visit.  I think I will look it up and be a real tourist.  I should talk to JK about it to make sure he is ok with me venturing out.  

"What do you think about me doing a little sightseeing tomorrow?" I ask.  

"I don't mind if you go but maybe you should take one of the bodyguards with you,"  he says.

"I think it will only draw attention to me and that's not what I want," I tell him.  "I am just a nobody and people won't know the difference."

"I guess you are right,"  he says.  "I am so used to having to do that, that I didn't even think about it."

"I should be fine,"  I say.  "I want to check out Fishermans Wharf.  I can just call a cab and go be a tourist for a little while."

"Suga will be jealous,"  he says.  "He wanted to check it out while we are here but I don't think that will be possible.  Too many people."

"I will pick him up a souvenir then," I say.  

"I'm sure he would appreciate that,"  he says.  "I wanted to see Alcatraz.  Maybe our managers can arrange a private tour after the concerts are over."

"That sounds like fun,"  I tell him.

"We have a little time,"  he says.  "Would you like a glass of wine?"

"Sure," I tell him.  "Wine sounds good."

"I will call room service and have some brought up,"  he says.  "Want your favorite?"

"That would be great if they have it,"  I say.  "If not, just pick what you like."

I call room service and they do in fact have Paige's favorite wine.  I really like it too.  It only takes about 10 minutes before it arrives.  I pour the wine for both of us and we go sit on the balcony to drink it.  Paige grabs a throw blanket from the chair in our room and puts it over us when we sit down.  It is definitely more chilly here at night.  

It's nice just to sit and relax with her and have a glass of wine.  It's so normal.  I don't have a normal life so times like this are really nice.  I pull her close to me and we just sit and drink our wine and enjoy each other's company.  

Paige POV: 

This is really nice just to sit outside and enjoy a glass of wine with JK.  It's a beautiful night.  Oh no...  I am feeling sick all of a sudden.  I think the food mixed with the wine isn't agreeing with me.  I think I am going to be sick.  I get up without warning and run to the bathroom.  I barely make it before I throw up in the toilet.  What the hell?  My stomach is not usually this sensitive.  

I clean myself up in the sink and brush my teeth.  This is embarrassing.  I can't believe I just puked!  I can hear JK knocking on the bathroom door.  I didn't realize that I shut it when I ran in.

"Are you okay?"  he asks.  "Can I come in?"

"I am okay,"  I say.  "I guess between the food and the wine, something did not agree with me.  I am coming out."

I open the door to a worried-looking JK.  "Are you sure you are ok?"  he asks.  "I was a little worried when you ran off and didn't say anything."

"Trust me," I say. "I would not have made it if I had stopped to explain.  We would have had a gross mess on our hands."

"In that case," he says.  "I'm glad you just ran for it."

"Me too,"  I say.  "Do you mind if we go to bed a little early tonight?  I still feel a little queasy."

"Of course,"  he says.  "Go get ready for bed and I will tuck you in.  I am going to go over the itinerary for tomorrow before I come to bed."

"Thank you," I say.  I go change and climb into bed.  JK pulls the covers over me and gives me a kiss on the forehead.  I hope I am not getting sick because that would not be good for JK or the others.  Maybe it's just the change in the weather.  Hopefully, I will feel better tomorrow....
