The 7th Year | Kim SeokJin

20

-*-*-*
Rachel hummed and tapped along to the melody Jin played in the main entrance, as she sat in the living room.
Tidbits started a week ago, and now she realized he was creating something.
The next week, more was added. He was creating a song.
It took a while. Months really, but when sat at the piano he was a man on a mission.
Rachel learned: Jin can read, write, produce musical notes. He never sang words, just hummed loudly sometimes. Sometimes he'd bang on the piano out of frustration. He never gave up though, always going again.
Rachel flinched quickly as he misplayed a note towards the end, but sat up quickly because... this was the end. He couldn't see her at all, the doorframe and wall was blocking his view and as she leant up to catch a peek she watched until their eyes caught. It was just a glance, but his eyes shifted towards that wall and she saw half a smile pop up on his face before he looked away. She sat back.
The song ended and she counted to 3 to peek at him again. She leant up, and he was writing on his book - hands a fury and his tongue making an appearance in the corner of his mouth for extra concentration. She sat back.
Minutes later, the song began again and she sat back and listened to it for the millionth time. She knew the parts by then, doing her own dances and mouthing the music out of view. He finished the song for a second time and there was no hesitation as she leant up.
She grinned bouncing into view once he was staring into space.
"Did I just write a song?" Jin asked, looking at her in disbelief.
Rachel grinned so big she thought her teeth were going to fly out.
"I think you did." She smiled, her hands now covering up her excited mouth.
"I did it." He said in disbelief again, standing up suddenly. The piano bench fell backwards, hitting the floor with a loud thud. "I really wrote the song." He laughed, making his way towards Rachel for a hug.
"Now, just slap some words about love yourself, itll be a hit." She laughed as he scooped her up, literally, for a hug.
"I have to submit it first...shhh." He laughed, cupping her head in his hand and pulling her close to quiet her.
"Drink's for Jin, he wrote music!" Her hands shot into the air and she ran towards the kitchen.
-*-**-
 
Maybe she brainwashed him." Jimin observed quietly to Hoseok, who glanced over at Jin.
"Possible." Hoseok noted, going back to his phone.
"Look at him." RM shook his head with narrowed eyes.
"Are you guys jealous?" Hoseok asked with curious eyes glancing up from his phone.
"Nahh." They all laughed, going back to their business. They were ALL jealous but eventually their times would come. Rachel would in a way teach them a lot.
They were all trying to get used to this new side of Jin they got tiny peeks at. Of course he maintained himself at all times, all the guys did, never mentioning her - but at home or if one of them did hang out with her; they'd see it.
The smiles to eachother, the stares, looks and frowns, the moments that were special between just the two. The lovey dovey side he tries to hide.
Jin could handle it without her - but with her - he was jelly. They were figuring out who wore the pants in their relationship.
-*-*-
"It's hot." Marcia complained.
"Is it?" Rachel moaned. "I miss the heat." She laughed. "I only say that now that I am gone, but yes." She smiled.
"Is it cold there?" Marcia asked in such a hopeful voice Rachel wanted to lie and say yes.
"22 degrees Celsius."
"I just heard 22 degrees." She laughed into the phone. "Is it tomorrow yet?"
"Not yet girl." She laughed. "You are not ready either."
"I know you keep telling me that, but like I promised Jin..."
"No girl." Rachel laughed. It was nighttime in Korea and Rachel had consumed 3 drinks and called Marcia. She was coming tomorrow and would be here the following day. "Okay." Rachel actually glanced around her empty living room in paranoia before her next words. "Go to Google." She whispered, covering the phone in her ear.
"What?" Marcia asked, totally confused.
"Go to Google if you want to see Jin's bandmates." She whispered like a sly secret agent trying to give information. Her accent sounde robotic and Marcia took the phone away from her ear to make sure she was talking to Rachel.
"I don't wanna see his stupid bandmates, telling me I can't meet them because I taught you how to give head." Marcia laughed with haste.
"Marcia." Rachel said lowly. "You want to see them trust me. You will meet them, trust me. You can not have them so you must familiarize yourself with their attractiveness."
"Girl you crazy." Marcia said. "Alright, hang on."
Rachel rolled her eyes at the idea of waiting, rolling them again when she had no wine.
"Google is up, Googling jin."
"No." Rachel laughed. "Google BTS."
"GTS?"
"NO B." She yelled, then stopped. "B as in boy, t and is Tango and S as in sexy."
"Jesus Christ youve had sex and now look at you." Marcia tisked her friend on the phone. "B and is Boy Rachel is weird. T as in Thank god I can see her in 2 days and S as in ..." she paused and Rachel smiled. "Search." She laughed.
Rachel waited.
"Okay." She said excitedly. "Hi Jin." She giggled.
"Don't be looking at my husband!" Rachel yelled with her finger in the air. "Marcia!"
"Im not ..I want to meet them all." She whispered and Rachel laughed. "Why did you do this to me?"
"Because I need you to be ready Marcia!" Rachel laughed. "You are not ready." She sighed.
"Rach, I know the rules. All of you twos rules blah." She complained.
"Follow them." Rachel asked.
"I will." Marcia assured. "Don't worry."
-*-*-*-
"I wonder what they are talking about over there." Jungkook wondered aloud as Jin shook his head. "They are just gabbing and laughing away over there, it's like we are invisible." Jin smiled to himself.
"If I've learned anything from those two, it's that you don't want to know." Jin laughed from behind his sunglasses. Jungkook watched the pair feom behind his own sunglasses. "Girls are weird Jungkook. Just need to leave them alone and they will come to us."
Jungkook crinkled his forehead and huffed loudly. "That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard." He got comfortable and gazed back at the ocean around him.

"Rachel!" Marcia yelled in her house, pausing for a moment. "No." She yelled back.
More static from the speakers in the ceiling, and Marcia's eyes watched waiting for a human voice.
"Dammit!" Rachel yelled from her station downstairs at the intercom base, the cover open and wires hanging out.
"No!" Marcia yelled again from upstairs and Rachel laughed alone, pressing the button with such force she thought she could break it.
"That's because IT'S BROKEN." She screamed, a frustrated cry as she grabbed the book yet again and turned back a few pages. She was determined to get it to work.
"Can't we just buy a whole new one?" Marcia appeared by her side asking sweetly.
"Would you like to remove the box from the wall?" Rachel asked as she flung the screwdriver tip towards the box, in an exhausted effort. "Hence." She held the book up to show they would figure it out.
"Okay, read it again then." Marcia said with a sigh.
*
"Two more days and you leave." Rachel frowned at her friend.
"I know, don't remind me." Marcia cooed.
"Hurry up Thursday." Jin excitedly bobbed from beside Rachel and Marcia rolled her eyes.
"Hurry up 15 hours." Marcia said, and Jin dropped his smile and replaced it with a frown.
"Hey." Rachel warned with a playful tone.
"I can't wait, I'm just saying." Jin said in Korean and Marcia huffed at the table.
"It's been fun, thank you for having me in your home." Marcia smiled at Jin, trying to be a good houseguest.
"She just said we have a home!" Rachel clutched Jin excitedly who did not move as she bounced up and down beside him.
"You do have a home silly. And soon youll have babies, and babies on boats, and maybe dogs and cats, and whatever else married couples have." Marcia laughed.
"My baby is not going on his boat." Rachel pointed at Jin who rolled his eyes.
"My baby will go on my boat." Jin challenged with a smile, and Rachel gasped.
"The boat will sink before we have children, guarentee it." Rachel said to Marcia, with a hand covering her mouth shielding Jin's eyes from her whispers.
"I don't doubt it." Marcia whispered back and Jin stood up.
"No one is sinking my boat, you keep forgetting it is a classic!" He laughed walking towards the kitchen. "An expensive classic!" He finished with a reminder.
"Maybe it has a plug." Marcia wondered aloud, and Rachel burst into a fit of laughter.
"We will see who sets your sails later today! Dissing my boat!" Jin yelled from the kitchen and Rachel laughed.
"I will set my own sail then!" Rachel laughed.
"In her bikini!" Marcia added and Jin's head popped into view.
"Absolutely not." He said seriously. "No bikini's."
-*-*-
"Okay I have to ask because its my last day." Marcia whispered to Rachel and Rachel glanced at her friend while keeping an eye on the sails actually being set. "What are the chances the life jackets could come off? This would be so much better if they were shirtless, and without the dumb vests."
"Jin will die with it on." Rachel laughed. "Don't know about the others." She pointed out. "Trust me, Ive tried." She laughed. "I have seen Jimin and Hoseok without theirs on before."
"Damn too late." Marcia pouted as they raised their arms, their back muscles hidden from their hideous shirts and life vests. "BOO." Marcia disagreed, then closed her mouth with her hand embarrassed. "Sorry."
"No need." Rachel laughed back quickly, she could see that at least 2 of the boys were smiling at her noise.
"Why are they booing?" Jimin asked Jin.
"Because they are evil, now pay attention!" He pointed at the stick he was supposed to be watching that was unraveling rope to weight and pully system the cloth on the boat. "Slowly." He reminded gently and quietly.
"Why are you booing?" Jimin called back and Jin had the look of murder on his face.
"She wants you to take your shirt off Jimin!" Rachel yelled in Korean cupping her hands against her mouth. Jimin grinned turning around to face the girls, eyes catching Jin's in the process as he grinned proudly.
"Rachel!" Jin scolded. "Marcia!" He scolded as well.
"What?!" Marcia yelled. "What did I do? What did I do?" She asked Rachel then Taehyung the other closest possible person to her.
"Don't you dare." Jin threatened Jimin lowly when his arms moved to unbutton the vest.
Click.
"Rachel!" Jin yelled.
"We are allowed to look SeokJin!" She yelled again in Korean. "Agree." She instructed Marcia.
"Yeah!" She yelled loudly in support of her friend. Really, in support of herself but she didn't know.
Click.
"Wait..." Marcia said quickly, sitting up straight to be closer to Rachel.
Click.
"SeokJin, I'm waiting." Rachel smiled and Jin rolled his eyes. "Told you." She told Marcia, who was completely involved in the impromptu half of a strip show she was recieving.
"Tag me in, tag me in!" Jungkook ran up and held his hand out for Jin to slap, instead received a hard push.
"Get out of here."
"Take your shirt off." Marcia instructed Rachel, already tearing at her life jacket buttons.
"What?" She laughed. "No."
"Girl, when I tell you to take your damn shirt off, you take your damn shirt off." She whispered hysterically. "Something just told me to take my shirt off too, look at them."
"Jin is going to flip. You can never tell him that is how we met."
"I know, just do it." Marcia said removing her jacket with a flash, almost throwing it overboard, then her shirt in under 2 seconds, sitting back with her arms crossed like nothing on Earth had happened.

"Hyung, look at your wife." Jimin said seriously. Jin turned to see his bathing suit clad wife, and her bathing suit clad friend and he actually felt his blood boil.
"I see." He said through his teeth, turning his back to the girls. "I can't do anything about it and neither can you."
"Marcia has her nipples pierced." Jimin announced, and Yoongi, Taehyung, and Jungkook's heads all turned to look at the girls.
"What?" Jin huffed, dropping his tool.
"And I can't ever see them, COME ON HYUNG!"
