Love of My Life

Home

Rose and I ended up eating and drinking some wine with the rest of the guys.  I'm blown away by how Rose is so at ease with the rest of us.  Her conversations with Hyung Namjoon and Hyung Yoon-gi that I happened to overhear sounded organic and natural.   Her playful interactions with the maknae line  is even more astounding. 

I could tell that she's having fun hanging out with my second family.  She didn't realize that she already consumed two glasses of wine in a short period of time.  I'm a lightweight, but I didn't realize that Rose has even less tolerance with alcohol .  

Hyung Yoon-gi convinced everyone to watch the scary movie IT.  I'm not one for scary movies, but to my dismay, Rose wanted to see it, too.  Hyung Hoseok, Jimin and Jungkook decided to watch it with us.  We put the lights out to make the ambience spookier.

In the beginning, Rose was sitting next to me on the sofa, keeping a respective distance in front of my hyungs. As the movie gets scarier, I felt her head on my chest and her right arm on top of my abs.  I didn't mind at all.  I feel very protective of Rose even if it is just from something as silly as a scary movie.

In the middle of the film, I felt Rose's breathing becoming rhythmical.  She  completely fell asleep! 

Hyung Hoseok, who is sitting on the sofa to my left,  gave me a knowing smile while trying to also let me know that Rose had fallen asleep on me. I smiled back at him to convey that I'm thankful for him always looking out for me.

I carefully got up not to wake Rose from her sweet slumber.  I said a short good night to everyone and carried Rose to my room.  

I took off her boots which required for me to have a lot of self-control.  I put a light cover on top of her and I sat myself at the edge of the bed.  I studied her angelic face and her luscious lips,   her lush body rising and falling with the rhythm of her breathing. I felt hot all of a sudden, so I decided to take a quick cold shower and put on white cotton pajamas. 

I got out of the bathroom and saw Rose was still sound asleep.  While I'm preparing the sofa next to the bed for me to sleep on, I heard a knock on the door.

"Dangseonhada."

Hyung Hoseok, Jimin and Jungkook came in to check up on us. 

"Good. You're sleeping on the sofa.  Do you need more blankets and pillows? Is Rose okay?" I've always thought that Hyung Hoseok is the maternal side of BTS. It's easy to assume that he is the most fun, vibing person of our group who happens to be a  great rapper and a killer dancer.  He is more than that for us.  His honesty, fairness, organization, and big heart  keep us all in line. 

"She might freak out when she wakes up and sees herself in my room.  Do you think I should sleep in the living room?"

Before Hyung Hoseok could answer, I heard Rose.

"Stop you clown! Don't come near meeeee!" Rose is having a nightmare and screaming . I saw beads of sweats coming from her forehead.

I sat next to her side and heard the door closing. 

"SShh, I'm right here.  No one can hurt you." I whispered to her.  With her eyes closed, she turned to her side and put her arm around my waist.  I couldn't and didn't want to move. I stayed in the same position comfortably beside her until I also fell asleep.
