Mystery Girl

The Tour Bus 10

Y/n's POV

Sleeping on the second night was easier, especially when I had something good to dream about. In the dream, Hobi holds his arms out to me and I run into them happily, shortly after the arms surrounding me dissolve into Jimin's. 

Although I am still happy, I am slightly confused and wonder where Hobi went. Jimin smiles down at me warmly and my worries melt away, quite literally as I sit up on the bed in the dark of the early morning.

I sigh quietly into the silence, only filled by faint snores and the rustle of sheets as people turn over in their sleep. I'm slightly stressed by the dream, but the effects of it are wearing off and I lie back down on my side, staring at the wall of the bus. All my thoughts have gone, my mind is blank and so I lie there listening to the breathing of the members. 

Namjoon's POV

I know that y/n went out with Jimin yesterday and when they came back, Jimin had an extra air of cockiness surrounding him. This obviously suggests that any attempts he made to get closer to y/n had worked. This jealousy consuming me slowly is so irritating to have to fight against. I sigh as I stretch in bed. Although still quiet, there is now movement in the bus. 

On my way to brush my teeth, I bump into y/n who seems to still be half asleep like me. I apologise and she nods at me, smiling softly. She turns to leave but I grab her arm gently to bring her attention back to me. "I was thinking that before we left, it might be nice to walk around the area a little bit, look at nature?" 

My fears of rejection are masked by the confident persona I try my best to portray in front of her. It is not that I am uncomfortable or feel I can't show my real self around her but that I want to be able to impress her. So, although the risk of my mask faltering is greater, I decide to tuck her hair behind her ear. 

Her hand moves to push me away instinctively, but she stops it halfway and instead just blushes and looks at the floor. Slowly, I move my hand away, already missing the feeling of her under my touch. She finally looks back up to make eye contact with me and smiles blindingly. "I would love to!"

Jungkook's POV

I'm going to ask y/n out tonight. I have decided this. We are going to be travelling more today and we will arrive at our destination. I want to show her around the city. She seems to know a little bit of the culture, but I want to properly introduce her to South Korea myself. 

I have always hated doing things like this. My nerves act up and my stutter will cause me trouble. I just have to remember how understanding she is and that she would never judge me. Besides, she did seem a little starstruck when we first met, even when I was zoned out I could sense that. 

I just have to build up my courage and earn that "International Playboy" title. I smirk at the thought. What kind of person would that make me? I'm not the cocky type. However, I am not the reserved teenage boy I used to be. 

Y/n's POV

After breakfast, Namjoon and I leave to explore the area. Subconsciously, my hand goes to the place where he had touched me. I take a glance at him out of the corner of my eye and then put my hand down. The feeling of his touch still lingers on my skin as I continue to ponder on it and I internally fight to keep calm. 

He looks at me suddenly and I smile nervously. Suddenly he starts to talk. "So," he shoves his hands into his pockets, "I was thinking that we would be able to get to know each other more?" he seems to trail off at the end and I giggle to make it less awkward. "What do you want to know?"

We talk for an hour or two about nothing and everything, occasionally stopping to look at a pretty flower or admire an animal. I find out that he has had an interest in nature for quite a while and that he would love to have a girlfriend who would come on occasional walks with him to admire the scenery. Apparently Tae fills that gap at the moment because he is even more enthusiastic about nature than Joon is. 

I tell him about the children I teach back at home. How there is a variety of character within each class and how I love to nurture and watch the children grow and develop their personalities. I tell him all about how I organise class schedules and seating plans and how I understand that the social life of children often sets them up for their future relationships.

Namjoon is so great to talk about children with. He obviously has a passion for them and he tells me all about how he would love to teach and the techniques he would use. He explains how his school life was and a lot of it I relate to other than the genius part of course. He is smarter and wiser than I could ever be and that is why he has been a role model for me for so long.

Eventually, we return to the tour bus and settle down to get ready for another long journey.
