The Definition Of Forever (Inked Hearts 1)

Forty-two, (part 1)

Diana first person pov:

"Diana!"

I stop walking down the hall in Big Hit and turn to see Bang Si-hyuk. I bow and he smiles. "I wanted to thank you for what you did with Mr. Lefebre the other day."

"Oh, there's no need."

"I think there is. After having Seo-Yun translate everything you said, I believe thanks are in fact needed."

"It was the least I could do, after all the kindness I've been shown here." I smile politely.

"Needless to say, I thank you. It was something that you chose to do out of the goodness of your heart and I won't forget it." We trade smiles and then go our separate ways: him- turning into another hallway, me- continuing down this one.

I was finished for the day. And was pleased to know that Cheol announced to us that we'd start learning the choreography soon. It sure took long enough!

I was planning on getting in some shopping this afternoon, but simple-minded me forgot my book in one of the many practice rooms. So here I am: going back to fetch it. I open the door to what I think is the right one, and a loud creak fills the room. Inside sits Namjoon, who looks up and greets me. "Hello, Diana."

"Hello Namjoon Oppa, sorry I didn't mean to disturb you."

"No that's fine." He says, and I make my way over to the couch where I think I left my book, but I don't see it. "Can I help you with something?" he asks.

"I thought I left my book in here," I say, rummaging around the cushions.

"What's the book?"

"It's a small, dark blue leather book of poetry."

"It wouldn't happen to be this one?" he says and holds up the book he was just reading, and it happens to be mine.

"Yes, that's it." I smile and he hands me the book.

"I saw it sitting in here and thought to give it a try since my phone died," he admits shyly.

"I didn't know you could read English poetry."

"I don't understand everything but it helps me learn." he shrugs.

"Well, you can borrow it if you want." I say and his face lights up, revealing his dimples "Really?"

"Sure, just give it back whenever."

"Thanks!"

"Don't mention it. I'm just surprised to meet someone who likes poetry too."

"Well I'm actually a huge fan of poetry, but this is very good!" he says and holds up the book, I just gave back to him. "Who's the poet?"

"His names Robert Frost, and he's one of my favorite poets. So let me know what you think once you've read a bit more, ok?"

"I would love too! If I start talking about this sort of thing with the boys, they'll start groaning and whacking me."

"What about us?" Tae asks as he and Jin enter the room.

"You don't like it when I talk about poetry." Namjoon starts and they both pretend to fall asleep immediately.

After a good three minutes, they stop laughing at their own joke. "Want to come to the boutique with us? Kate said she's closing down early today so we can have the place to ourselves." Jin says.

"I can't. Yoongi Oppa wants to work on some new rap."

"Want to come Noona?" Tae turns to me, with a small plead in his eye.

"Sure, I was already planning on shopping today anyways," I say and we head out the room into the hall.

"How'd you like the movie last night?" I ask Jin.

"Good, but next we have Frozen and I'm really looking forward to that!"

"Oh yeah? When are you watching it?"

"Not sure, soon hopefully."

"And will you be watching too?" I ask Tae.

"Hyung makes all of us watch frozen, so you can count on all seven of us being there." He teases and Jin playfully shoves him. "You should come!"

"Oh, I wouldn't want to intrude!" I start but get cut off.

"Never!"

"We'd be happy to have you!"

"Alright, text me when!" I say and they both smile, as we head down through the building into the basement, and into a black car all ready for us. Jin takes the wheel and Tae holds the passenger door open for me. "Thanks." He nods and hops into the back.

As we start to drive, I soon realize that we're going through an underground tunnel, and pop up again far away from the Bit Hit building. "So we can get in and out more easily," Tae says catching me gawking out the window. I quickly shut my open mouth and nod.

"So," Jin says after a moment. "I'm sorry you got cut yesterday."

"Oh don't be. Jungkook helped."

"Wait. You got cut?!" Tae leans closer.

"Yeah, on a piece of glass when I was cleaning up the broken plate."

"Which plate? Hyung broke two!" Tae giggles.

"Respect your elders!" Jin scolds him.

"So Kookie helped?" Tae asks.

"Yeah, he wiped, and bandaged it."

"That's nice of him," Tae said and turned away to face the window, hiding whatever emotion that was no doubt written all over his face. Jin let's out a cough, and a silence settles over the car.
