Chapter 07

Yoongi POV

"Jimin, can I talk to you for a second?" I asked Jimin.

"Sure, what's up?" He said as he took small sips of the Starbucks latte macchiato he got at the airport before we boarded the plane.

"So, there's this friend of mine that does contemporary dance. She, ehh, she needs some help from someone who is really good and I immediately thought of you." I said trying to sound as casual as I could.

"Oh, that sounds like fun. I'd love to! Who is this dancer? Do I know her?" Jimin asked. He smiled brightly at me. Ah, so he didn't know. Or didn't immediately assume it was Sun-Hi.

"It's the leader of D2G, Hwang Sun-Hi," I said, avoiding Jimin's eyes.

"Ah, the pretty girl Namjoon told you not to talk to." I could hear the humor in his voice.

I took a sip of my already lukewarm coffee.

"She's just my friend. Nobody can decide who I can and can't be friends with." I mumbled as I looked outside the window at the clouds flying by.

"It's ok. I don't think Namjoon meant it like that anyway, he's just looking out for the best interest of the group. But sure man, I'd love to help out." He smiled at me.

"Thanks, Jimin."

After we landed and were back at home I grabbed my phone and started texting Sun-Hi to let her know that Jimin wanted to help her out. I knew Jimin would've said yes, he was genuinely one of the nicest and most helpful people I had ever met in my life.

Jimin said yes. We could meet after our practice tomorrow? I texted her.

Thanks, you're the best!!!! :D I'll be sure to be there, just text me when I can come in. She texted me back.

I had this goofy smile on my face. I was still amazed at how quickly this girl had become so important in my life. It all just started with me wanting to help her and her wanting to help me, but she was honestly my best friend now. Tae was wrong though; I didn't have a crush on her. I just appreciated her a lot, I just wanted to be near her all the time because I craved her friendship. Not because I liked her like that, not at all.

"Hyung. Can I come in?" I saw Taehyung's head peek around the corner into my room. Speak about the devil.

"Yeah, of course." I scooted back on my bed so that Taehyung could sit down next to me.

"I couldn't help but overhear you and Jimin talking in the plane and I just want to say I'm jealous." He pouted.

My brows furrowed. I hope no one else heard it. "Why jealous?" I asked him, confused.

"I want to meet her too, Hyung. It's unfair Jimin gets to meet her first." He said, still pouting.

I couldn't help but laugh. "That's what you're jealous of? You want to meet her? Why?"

"I just want to meet the girl that makes our Yoongi smile at his phone the whole time. It's so unlike you to let someone get this close, so she must be pretty amazing." Taehyung said.

I thought about it for a moment. I wanted all of the guys to meet her, of course. I feel like she would get along with them so well, but I also didn't have the luxury of having female friends. Not with this life. It would be so much harder to keep our friendship hidden from the public eye if the guys met her. Me meeting her was already a risk, that was why we mostly talked through the phone.

"Just let me ask if she's okay with it. Meeting Jimin is probably already difficult for her, let alone if she has to meet Jimin and you. It can be a lot." I said. The last thing I wanted was to overwhelm her.

Sun-Hi POV

I was insanely nervous. All I could think about this whole day was that I was going to meet both Jimin and Taehyung and on top of that I was finally going to see Yoongi again after weeks. We talked every day, sure, but I missed his calm presence. I had been getting more and more panic attacks, mostly small ones, but they were still there. It almost felt like I was an addict and I had withdrawal symptoms from not seeing Yoongi. Every time we did see each other the anxiety almost faded to just a soft buzzing in my head instead of the loud screaming.

I stood in front of their practice room. He had texted me that everyone but the three of them left and it was safe for me to come in.

I wiped my clammy hands on my pants and knocked on the door. I felt my heart pounding aggressively against my chest. If I had a panic attack in front of Jimin and Taehyung I could never face them again. I would be so ashamed.

The door opened and Yoongi stood in the opening, smiling at me. A wave of peacefulness washed over me, I could finally breathe again.

Without giving it a second thought, I took a step forward, wrapped my arms around his waist and let my head rest on his chest. I let out a content sigh. His whole body tensed up and I swear that I heard a gasp coming from him.

"I missed you," I whispered.

Those words seemed to relax him and he wrapped his arms around me, hugging me close to him.

"I missed you too." He whispered into my hair.

All I wanted was to stay like this for a little bit. To just let the calm that always surrounded him wash over me. But our little bubble popped as soon as I heard a voice coming from behind him.

"Oh my god, that's so cute!"

Yoongi quickly let go of me and cleared his throat.

"Uhm, this is Sun-Hi. Sun-Hi, these are Taehyung and Jimin." He said as he guided me in the room with his hand on my back.

His hand on my back felt like an anchor, it kept my mind from starting to go a thousand miles a minute. He knew I was nervous and he also knew that a small touch from someone I fully trusted helped me calm down. I had told him before how Soojin usually did that for me when we were out.

I bowed a little. "Hello."

Taehyung was the first one to walk towards me and shake my hand. "It's great to meet you finally!"

"It's great to meet you too," I said softly.

From behind him, Jimin walked towards me with the biggest smirk on his face.

"Hi, Sun-Hi. It's nice to meet someone who is such good friends with our Hyung." He said as he shook my hand.

"Thank you," I said and leaned back a little more into Yoongi's hand, searching for that feeling of safety.

"I really like D2G! Your music is so badass, I love it." Taehyung said all of a sudden.

If the rest of the girls could hear this, they would have freaked out. Especially Haru. BTS was a role model for most rookie groups, so hearing him say something like that meant a lot.

"Thank you so much. We work hard every day, so that means a lot." I thanked Taehyung.

"Yes, your performances are always really good. But you needed help with something." Jimin said.

"Ah yes, uhm. Let me put my stuff away." I said and smiled at Jimin. I walked over to the corner of the room and put my bag on the table. I grabbed a bottle of water out of it and took a large sip.

Yoongi walked over to me. "You mind if I and Taehyung watch? We can leave if that makes you feel more comfortable." He whispered to me so that the others couldn't hear it.

"No, no. Stay, please." I didn't care if he and Taehyung watched, I wanted to spend as much time as I could with Yoongi.

"Good, then let's get this started." He said.
