I stand in shock hearing the news, but all I can do is smile and nod and wish I didn't have such a big flat with a guest room. Yoongi has already warned me that he is not going to make this easy for us. I know deep down that he doesn't want to hurt Tae, but he's playing a dangerous game. None of this makes any sense and I have no one to confide in without getting someone in trouble.
My phone buzzes and I see Soo Yun's contact come up. I step into the hallway to speak to her.
"Alexa, how is everyone this morning?" she asks.
"Good, we just had coffee and they're playing video games, but I think Jin is still asleep," I tell her.
"It's all set for you, Tae and Yoongi to fly to London at 3pm," she says and I realize she must have already known Yoongi was coming with us. When?! When did he decide this? When did Tae know? I listen as she continues with instructions. "I'll send a car to get you and it can bring Jin and Jungkook back into town after dropping you off. It will be there around 2pm."
I'm confused. "Won't that be too little time for an International flight?" I ask.
"It's a private jet. The car will have their bags. Tae packed one yesterday, and I will make sure Yoongi has one too." She has everything arranged, once again. "Are you OK to stay put until then?"
"Yes, sure. I will probably go out to get them something to eat, but we will stay put," I tell her. She hangs up and I riffle through the drawer in the front entryway and find a stash of menus. I recognize the name of a good Thai place nearby that they may like. I carry the menus into the living room, interrupting their game.
"If anyone is hungry, I can go pick up food and bring it back. There's a big table out on the patio out back where we can eat." Jin appears behind me.
"Did you say food?" He takes a menu. He sits with his brothers to look over their choices. I get out my phone to place the order for pick up. Their requests are very lengthy, these are definitely hungry men.
Tae turns to me. "How will you get the order?"
"I'll just walk over, it's not far. I won't be long."
"I will go with you." Tae says.
"No, you should send someone else, in case there are any photographers around," Jin says wisely. Tae nods.
"I'll go. I can help carry the food." Now how did I know it would be Yoongi to offer...Well, it gives me a chance to speak to him alone, yet again. He won't dare touch me in public, not if there could be photographers around.
I get my wallet and sunglasses and kiss Taehyung good bye. I open the door and Yoongi sets down the controller and runs after me. He rushes to catch up to me on the quiet street. He walks along side me for a long time saying nothing. I am quiet.
"It's very different here, doesn't even feel like New York. It's more like a little town," he says looking around at the brownstones and the colorful trees. "Why did you want to leave?" I think about all the reasons, and the main reason. I stop walking. He turns to me.
"To be honest, I had a boyfriend, we lived here, together. I thought he was the one, maybe." I start walking again, passing Yoongi. He watches me and then walks up beside me.
"How long were you together?" he asks, seeming genuinely interested.
"Two years. We lived right around the corner. He still does, I think," I tell him.
"What happened?" he asks.
"Typical story. Boy meets girl- they love each other for a while- then boy meets other girls- heartbreak- move on/move away. I just had to leave." I look down the street toward the area where our apartment was. "That's what I do, when it gets bad, I disappear." I don't know why I'm telling him this, I haven't even told Taehyung about my Ex. Yoongi nods as though he understands.
