The Most Beautiful Moments In Our Lives - I Need U

Assurance

I took it upon myself not to go to any of the social media sites. It's not that I'm afraid of the reactions, but I just wanted the peace of mind and enjoy this vacation before going back to the daily grind. 

However the rest of the boys had different ideas. After the live and dinner, we were in the living room, the rest were focused on what the fans were talking about. So every now and then, I'd hear one of them quip a tweet. Although mostly they were reading the positive feedbacks, I knew that there were negative ones as well. It's funny how these boys spare my feelings and my love for them only grew even bigger.

"You know that I'm a big girl and can take the negative comments right?" I said out loud to no one in particular.

"We know that noona." Hobi said as he scrolls through his phone.

"Then why are you all just reading the positive ones?" I asked even though I said that I'm not going to check, I'm now curious as to what the fans' reactions are.

"Because all I'm seeing are positive ones." Joonie replied, not looking at me, his focus on his phone. I looked around me and saw Tae and Jimin nod their head and gave me a smile.

I couldn't help but be surprised at what they said and reached for my phone that was on the center table. Yoongi whose head was on my lap started to get up when I moved, he didn't say anything but settled beside me and was watching what I was doing with his head on my shoulder. 

As I opened my social media, I could feel stares on me but didn't meet the eyes of the boys. I started reading the feed and I almost burst in tears at the overwhelming messages that the fans were sending to Yoongi and I. 

"Lex?" Yoongi asked quietly. Looking at him, he saw my unshed tears and he pulled me into a hug. "Baby." He cooed.

"You were right. Oh God. I can't believe this." I said to him, muffled by his shoulder as I snuggled closer to him.

"Of course I'm right." He said, I could hear the smugness in his voice and I couldn't help but pinch his side. He chuckled at my response. And then I felt it, another pair of arms went around me and then another and then a kiss on the back of my head.

"Group hug!" Tae shouted and when I looked up, I saw him jump and join the fray. The weight of all the boys wasn't heavy instead it uplifted me. 

"Thank you boys. You guys are truly the best." I said to them.

"Who wouldn't love our noona?" Kookie asked, his grin was so big that I had to smile back to him.

As they slowly dispersed and went back to their places, Jimin then exclaimed, "This calls for a celebration! I'll get drinks." He then rushed to the kitchen with Hobi following him.

"Does this mean that it's okay for our fans if we ever are in a relationship?" Joonie asked solemnly. We've been drinking for hours and the rest of the guys were truly drunk. Tae and Hobi were passed out on one of the couches, cuddled into each other. Kookie was on the floor and quietly snoring. 

Jimin reached for my glass and poured another shot of soju and handed it to me. I drank it and gave it back to him, I was about to say my answer but Yoongi beat me to it. "I think so. I guess Lexie and I are the guinea pigs here huh? With all the messages that the fans are saying, in my opinion, it's all good."

I touched his arm and gave him a smile, then turning to Joonie, "I may not agree completely, it's still early to say that it's all good. Although I'm hoping that it's going to be like this, we just don't know what will happen tomorrow. I'm not being pessimistic about this, but the unforeseeable future is a gamble." I said.

"Why are you asking this?" Jin asked, "Are you in a relationship Joonie?"

I watched Namjoon's reaction and I could see that his ears turned red, curious now, I waited for his response. "Not really hyung. It's just a question, it doesn't particularly pertain to me, it's just a general question." I didn't quite believe what he said but I'll let this pass for now.

"Well, I'm speaking for myself and there's no way that I would ever be in a relationship." Jimin announced. I giggled at this and shook my head. "What noona?" He asked me.

"Nothing. Don't say anything like that Chim, you might eat your words." I warned him.

He shrugged his shoulders at me and gave me a cheeky grin. "All the ladies love me being single and there's just too many of them for me to settle like you and Yoongi hyung."

Yoongi being closer to him smacked him and grumbled, "You brat." We all laughed at Jimin's pained expression but still managed to stick his tongue out.

As we got back at the office after our vacation, the atmosphere was abuzz. I headed to Bang's office since he asked to meet with me when we get back. I was nervous but I know that he is not angry or disappointed. From our conversations, it seemed that everything was fine.

I stood in front of his door, the absence of Yuna from her seat was taken into account. I exhaled and knocked on the door. "Come in." I heard him say, I went inside and saw that he was sitting on his chair by his desk. I looked around thinking that Yuna was here.

"Where's Yuna?" I asked.

"She's at home, she wasn't feeling well and I told her to stay at home instead." He explained, I quickly nodded my head and sat down on the chair in front of him. "Now that you're here, I would like to talk to you about what happened."

I gauged his facial expression and his voice, but Bang was using his poker face, on me! I frowned at this, thinking of the worst. "Is something the matter?" I asked, clearly not wanting the way this feels.

He shook his head and looked at me in the eye, "None. I just wanted to check on you. There's a difference when it comes to how the fans are online and offline. Although I am glad that the turn out was very good, great actually, I would still want to know that no problems would arise for the both of you." He said seriously, a hint of concern on his tone.

"I understand that Dad, and believe me, I was actually afraid of what would happen. But then, this is not the first idol group that they're following, not the first time that an idol would be in a relationship. I think the fans are more understanding and trusting now compared to before." I said to him, he was nodding at what I'm saying.

"That is true. I'm not trying to be negative here, it's just that, not all fans think the same. Majority may say that they are okay with it, that they've accepted it, but there may be some who may take it badly that problems may happen. I just want you to be prepared." He said, looking at me.

"Thank you so much that you are very concerned about me and also with the career of the boys. But, I think for now, things are good. Why don't we just let things flow and we'll see, although I am really hoping that things would go fine from here on out. I really have a good feeling about this." I said, trying to convince him with how sure I am with this.

He put his hands up as if in mock surrender, "Okay, okay. I get it." He smiles at me and shook his head. "Look at you, I can't believe how you've grown."

"Dad! Stop with any cheesy statements or whatever." I said, cringing at the possible topic.

"What? I can't be sentimental? Is Yoongi the only one allowed to do so?" He asked, pouting a little.

"I'm not even going to answer that." I said, standing up, I looked at him, "Thanks dad. I really appreciate this talk."

"Ah, just get out of here since you don't want to be cute with me." He said dismissively. I gave him a flying kiss and went out of his office. Reaching for my phone, I quickly dialed Yuna's number.

"Alexandra, is there something wrong?" She asked as soon as she answered, not even a hello.

"I was wondering the same thing. You're sick?" I countered.

"It's not really a big deal. I was just feeling a bit under the weather, but I'm mostly fine now." She said.

"Are you sure? Have you eaten?" 

"Yes, I ate just a while ago. I'm not drinking tea. I'm on the mend, don't worry, I'll be in by tomorrow." She assured me.

"If you are sure. Okay. I'll see you tomorrow then." I said. "Take care of yourself. Bye." I hung up and went back to my office to start with the schedule of the boys.
