Everlasting Summer (BTS)

Chapter 31: Call her

     It's been about a week since Stella's stalker incident. Leaving her a little freaked out. All the boys were very kind and reassuring about what happened but she was still a little worried about all of it. She decided to spend the week with her mom. Not wanting to bother the other boys and they haven't heard from her since.

                         Boys group chat:
Joon:
Has anyone heard from Stella?

Hobi:
I haven't. Sadly..

Tae:
I haven't either. Not sure why tho. I texted her a few days ago. 😒

Jimin:
I don't even have her number. 🙃

Jin:
Me neither. 😒

Yoongi:
I do but when I texted her last she seemed a little off. . But I didn't ask her about it.
Joon:
Should I try calling her?

Jimin:
If she'll answer anyone, it would be you.

Tae:
Jimin's right. Try giving her a call.

Yoongi:
Yeah, I think that's a good idea. I'm a little worried about her.

Jungkook:
Since it's obvious that Joon is her favorite. 👀

Jimin
He is not!😠

Jin:
You're right, he's not. I am. 😏

Hobi
Oh, Hyung you freaking wish. 😂

Joon:
Stop it. Anyway, I'm gonna call her. See y'all when I get home.

        I was in my room, laying on my bed while writing in my diary. It was about 2:30pm. I was trying to keep as much distance from the boys. I just don't want to bother or worry them with all of this. I shouldn't put them through all of that. I close my diary and roll over on my back. I hear my favorite song "let's not fall in love" coming from my phone as a call came in.

       I pick it up and see that it's Namjoon calling. I look down at it and choose not to pick it up. "I don't need him worrying about me." I think to myself. A minute passes after the call ends and I get another one. It's Namjoon... again... I stare down at my phone for a few seconds. Take in a small breath and reluctantly, I answer. "Hello?" "

   "Hey, Stella. Is everything okay?" Joon asked over the phone. "I.. I'm fine.." I said quietly. "Well that's not true," he said softly. "Tell me the truth, Stella." He paused then sighed a little. "Why haven't you been responding to me and the boys?" He asked sweetly with a little compassion in his tone.

     I started to feel my throat tighten. I don't know why I feel so emotional. I could feel myself trying to hold back tears. Namjoon could tell there was something was up. "Stella.. what's wrong.?" Namjoon asked kindly and softly. "I just.. I.. I don't want to bother y'all with all my drama." "Y'all barely know me and.. y'all.. are just..so." I said trying to hold it together, tears still pooling in my eyes.

      "Is your mom home?" Namjoon asked. "What?.. I asked a little confused. " Well no." She's left yesterday to the states for a business trip.. "So you're alone?" Namjoon asked again. "Yes," I answered softly. "Okay." Then the line cut. I stared down at my phone blankly a little confused. I crawled out of bed and slipped on my house shoes and walked down stair. When I made it to my kitchen I heard a knock at my front door. I turn around and I see Namjoon and the rest of the boys waiting outside.

      I couldn't walk over fast enough to open the door. I flung the door open and I couldn't help but throw myself into Namjoons arms. He just wraps his arms me tight. I nuzzled into him. Enjoying the feeling of his warm body. "Hey, where's my hug?" Jimin asked smuggling next to me. I open my left arm to him and pull him in. "Group hug," Tae called out which made me smile. "We missed you." Jimin said sweetly in my ear. "I miss you guys too," I said into Namjoons chest.

        I brake away from the boys who were now smooshing me. "let's head inside." I said happily. "Hey, Stell we have Chinese food heading this way." Hobi explained. "Really, I love Chinese!" I said with excitement. "Great, We hoped you would." Jin said with a smile. " I hope you don't mind, Stella. Joon told us we're home alone and we. . well we missed you so.." Taehyung explained sweetly. "Thanks, guys. Y'all are the sweetest really." I cooed shyly.

    We all gathered into the living room and got comfortable with each other. "So Stell, why didn't talk to us this past week? We were all worried about you.." Hobi asked kind of giving me sad eyes. "Well. I - I just felt bad.. about everything.. The texts.. all of y'all being out in the storm.." I said softly, looking down. Taehyung then scooped me up into his lap.

    " Don't be sorry, Kitten. We want to be here for you." He whispered into my ear. Causing me to blush softly.
