Secret Coach (A BTS Fanfic)

Chapter 32: The Ride Back

The rest of the night, you enjoy yourself, staying by Rosie's side watching the playful performances. Rosie sings a soft ballad, and you clap your hands loudly after she finishes her song. The group enjoys snacks and drinks, and Jungkook kindly offers you another bottle of soju, which you take willingly as you are enjoying the tipsy feeling. However, you knew that you were testing your drinking limits, as you do not drink very often.

Near the end of the night, you end up singing another English song with Rosie, and you mumble your words. You hug Rosie as you finish the song, leaning into her as you lose your balance slightly. The world seems to tilt a little, and you put your hands out to try to keep yourself upright. You spot an empty spot between Namjoon and Jin on one of the couches, and you walk back to sit between the two boys.

You flop onto the couch, and your shoulder touches Namjoon's softly. You stretch your arms out as you let out a large yawn.

"Are you tired, Y/N?" Namjoon turns to ask you, his cheeks slightly blushed from the alcohol. 

"No," you say but then yawn again. "Okay, maybe," Namjoon chuckles as he pulls out his phone from his pocket.

"Let me get you a car to drive you home," he says, but you suddenly grab his arm nervously.

"It's okay, I'll take the bus," you insist, still slightly traumatized from earlier, and you don't trust any car service, especially in your current state. You get up to collect your things, but you must have gotten up too quickly as you start to feel dizzy and fall back onto the couch, Namjoon catching you as you had somehow fallen into his lap.

"Don't worry, I'll ride with you," he says, looking at you laying in his lap for a moment before snapping out of it and helping you sit back up.

"Noona!" Taeghyung notices you standing back up and looks at you with concern. "Are you leaving?" he pouts with his bottom lip at you, trying to convince you to stay longer.

"It's late," Namjoon puts his hand out and talks more to Taehyung in Korean. You look around at the group having fun, and Jungkook walks over to you as he had just finished his turn with a song. 

"Bye, Y/N," he says, giving you a hug as Jin, Hoseok and Jimin also get up when they notice what is going on. They hug you quickly in turn to say goodbye, and Taehyung looks at you sadly after Namjoon finishes talking with him. Taehyung holds his arms out, squeezing his hands cutely encouraging you to walk into a big hug. He gives you a little squeeze and kisses the top of your head before letting you go.

"We need to do this again," he says with a smile before pulling Jungwon off the couch to sing one last song since there are a few minutes left on the karaoke machine.

"I think he certainly likes you, Y/N," Namjoon chuckles as you put your hand on the spot that Taehyung kissed. "He treats you like the older sister he never had,"

"Y/N," Yoongi whines your name, slightly drunk from his own drinking habits over the night. You see him swagger over to where you and Namjoon are standing, and he wraps his arms around you in a hug to say goodbye. "Please be careful, okay?" he says to you, leaning back to look you in the eyes while keeping his arms around you. Yoongi smirks as you nod your head, and he puts his head over your shoulder to give one more light hug. He abrutly takes his hands off of you and steps backwards, clearing his throat with a cough and looking away, suddenly finding interest in the snacks set on the table as he walks away. 

"Wow," Namjoon says, putting a hand behind his neck in confusion. "That was weird. " You furrow your brow in confusion, but you are too tired to ask what he meant.

"Ah, the car is here," Namjoon says after he checks his phone, and you wave goodbye to Rosie. She rushes over to you to give you a hug as well, her head resting on your shoulder as she reminds you to drink water when you get home. Everyone says goodbye one last time as you follow Namjoon out of the noraebang, and you can't help but smile at the warmth and love that they give you.

"Thank you for coming, even after everything that happened," Namjoon says once you both are in the car to your apartment building. You nod, too tired to really say anything. Before long, you end up falling asleep in the car, your head leaning on Namjoon's shoulder as the car only fits two people in the back. Namjoon lets you sleep, trying to ignore his nervous heartbeat until the car arrives in front of your building.

The car stops, and Namjoon uses his hand to softly shift your head to lean on your passenger side door as he unbuckles his seatbelt. Noticing you were still asleep, he gets out of the car and opens the door on your side. Your body sleepily starts to lean out of the car by itself, and he quickly puts his hands out as you suddenly wake up. You look around you for a moment, not sure where you were, but Namjoon just smirks at you.

"We're at your apartment building," he says as you look out the car door at him. You unbuckle your seatbelt and swing your legs over the seat to get out, letting out a large yawn. Before you can step out of the car, Namjoon scoops you up in his arms and you are too tired to protest. Thanking the driver, he closes the car door and starts walking up to the front of your building cradling you in his arms.

"Namjoon....." you sleepily mumble in an attempt to get him to put you down. He ignores you, only putting you back on your feet when he arrives in front of the main door.
