Boy{s} With Luv

Namjoon

Hobi, Yoongi and I walk into the hotel and check in at the counter. We take the keys for the three hotel rooms and sit on the lobby couch to decide room arrangements while waiting for the others to come. 

"I call rooming with Yoongi!!" Hobi exclaims enthusiastically. I guess opposites attract.

"Tae, Jimin, and Jungkook said they wanted to room together, so I guess that leaves you and Jin together," Yoongi says with a sympathetic smile. 

"Is something wrong?" Hobi asks. I guess I never told him about my crush. Yoongi glances at me and I give an approving smile. He sighs, and starts off:

"Namjoon may or may not have had a massive unrequited crush on Jin since we were trainees."

20 minutes later, after telling the whole story, Jin texted me back.

anything is fine. as long as you don't steal my towel again.

Ha. Ha. Ha.  At least he was taking it lightly. Admittedly, I was nervous telling Hobi about this. I didn't doubt he would be supportive, but he's always been so happy and supportive. It seemed as if nothing could faze him. No matter what, he's always been so unconditionally uplifting. His smile was so contagious. This was in contrast to Yoongi, who always seemed to brooding. He has  always been so observant, even when others aren't. I admire this about everyone in our group- everyone brought something to the table, apart from the talent. I was supposed to be the one to connect everyone, and instead, I'm forced to rely on them because of my inability to control my emotions. 

I hear a ringing sound and see that Hitman Bang is ringing me. He had left after we checked in to confirm the venue were were performing at and sort out details. Engrossed in conversation, I notice Yoongi and Hobi starting to go to the elevators. Once we get to our rooms, I take our room key and put my luggage in the corner of our room, still on the phone. I plop onto the chair and start jotting down notes. There was so much work to be done in preparation for our first US show of our North American leg of the tour- even thinking about it is nerve wracking. I mean, we've grown so much in the past few years, and we have even bigger shows, which means more work. That's okay though- I'd rather do more for our group than risk losing momentum. Our conversation comes to a close, and I hang up and get unpacked. 

I hear a small click outside, and the door creaks open. My- Our 'worldwide handsome' comes in with his bags. 

"Let me help you with that, it looks heavy."

He smiles and looks down, murmuring a soft 'thank you'. 

"Oh, I brought food for you! You should eat, it's getting late," Jin says unexpectedly. Leave it to Jin to always think of food. Not that I'm complaining, I wouldn't have eaten otherwise. I inhale my food in five minutes.

He plopped down on the bed and sighed.

"Ahhh, my favourite part of traveling is sleeping in the hotels. This bed is so much more comfortable than our beds at home! Come here, it's so comfortable!"

I plop  into bed with him and stretch. He wasn't kidding- this bed is so nice! I didn't realize how tense my neck and shoulders were until now. I lie down on my stomach and hug my pillow. What? That's not weird.

I feel a warm hand on my back, as we both turn toward each other at the same time. We were so close to each other suddenly... and it feels so good. I feel his breath on me and our noses are almost touching. Can we stay like this forever? His hands make their way up back, slowly massaging where I'm tense. He's always been good at making me less stressed. 

"Turn around," he whispers. "You're so tense."

His fingers caress my back, and I once again remember our trainee days when we would practice for hours after everyone else left. Back then, we did everything we could to lift each other up, because if not us, who else? We would give each other massages, and comfort each other. I loved everything about our friendship, but I couldn't help but want more....

I eventually fall asleep in his arms, turning to face him at some point. This was the second time this week that I ended up sleeping in his arms.
