Chaewon's POV

Since all of the boys were finally home, PD-nim wanted to have a formal meeting to discuss the timeline of the new album rollout. For ease of travel for the boys, PD-nim decided to have the meeting at my place, in my office room. 

I vacuumed the area, making sure it was clean, got some water bottles, and placed them on the table and some cut-up fruit. Finally satisfied, I went to my room to change. 

I haven't really had to dress up in a while, and have become accustomed to the regular sweats and hoodies, but this time, since PD-nim would be there, I decided to look at least a little more presentable. 

I changed into a dusty orange sweater and threw on some mom jeans. I decided to leave my hair down and just brushed it out neatly. While I was applying some perfume, there was a knock at my door.

"Annyeong~" Jimin strolled in. He was about twenty minutes early.

"You're early?" I asked.

"Yeah, I got back from the gym earlier than expected so I came over to see if you needed help with anything." He shot me a charming smile. No wonder everyone loves him, he was too charming for his own good. 

"It's okay, I already set up the office, but there are some snacks in the kitchen if you want, help yourself." I motioned towards the kitchen, and Jimin headed in that direction. 

"Noona!" Jungkook shouted as he walked in without knocking. 

"Snack. In there." I said pointedly, motioning towards where Jimin had just gone. Jungkook smiled and went to the kitchen. Boy did it become easy to deal with the boys. If you just brought them snacks, they'd shut up and eat peacefully. 

After about ten minutes, the rest of the boys knocked and entered the apartment, Namjoon following in last. Suddenly, my phone buzzed.

text from Olivia

Olivia: Heyy, I'm boarding my flight, see you soon! :)

I did a double take and checked the date. I forgot. It was the 20th already? Thankfully, it would be fine, because she would only be arriving here tonight.

"Who is Olivia?" I turned around to see Taehyung's face peering over my shoulder, curiously reading my messages. 

"Yah! Do you know what privacy is?" I asked him. He just nodded. 

"So, when you're done being dramatic, can you tell me who Olivia is or...?" He gave me a smug look. I sighed. 

"She's my best friend from America. The one who took me to your show in Anaheim." I explained. Hobi perked up, paying close attention to our conversation. 

"You mean the one in the picture you showed us? The girl with the brown hair and green eyes?" Hobi asked. I giggled lightly. 

"Yes Hobi, that one."

PD-nim softly knocked on the door before entering the house. We all bowed, greeting him. 

"Nice to see you all, Namjoon-ah, how are you feeling?" He searched the room before making eye contact with Namjoon.

"Yes, feeling a lot better, PD-nim." Namjoon gave him a wide smile, showing his dimples. I melted. 

- 

"So, as far as the album is concerned, I don't want to rush anything, you all need to recover well before we do that. But, music may take some time especially since we decided on making it a whole series of albums, so it's best we start on it and focus while you all have the time to."

Everyone was sitting in my office room discussing the plans for the album. I was really excited to get back to writing music. 

"Have you been able to write?" PD-nim asked. It took me a moment to realize the question was for me, and all the boys turned to look at me. I noticed Namjoon the most because he was sitting next to PD-nim.

"I-I have. I've written a couple and have some demo ideas." PD-nim nodded. "But I could have done more, I apologize." I said, suddenly feeling bad that I didn't really do what I was hired to do. 

"No no, you don't need to apologize. Actually, we need to thank you for being there for the boys. Jungkook and Taehyung had mentioned to me about how caring and supportive you were all these months!" PD-nim sent me a reassuring smile. I bowed my head, smiling softly, not really sure what to respond with. 

"Namjoon, Hobi, and I are going to the studio after this, if you wanted to join us, I'm curious about what kind of songs you wrote." Yoongi said. I nodded. "Sure, I will join." I replied.

The meeting lasted another hour where we talked about the specifics of the concept as well ass assessing a realistic timeline for the boys' return. 

-

"Show us what you got." Hobi said, plopping down on one of the beanbags in the studio. Namjoon sat next to him, watching intently, as I plugged in my laptop. Yoongi on the chair right next to me. 

He could tell I was nervous, so he brought his hand up to my shoulder, patting it softly. "It's just us, don't worry. If I told you half of the embarassing things that have happened in this studio you'd be shocked." Yoongi said. I chuckled, feeling the weight on my shoulders lift slightly. I hovered over one of the tracks, which was unnamed, and was just the instrumentals. I clicked play, turning the volume up on the studio speakers.

It started with some slow piano, which transitioned to a faster piano chord progression. After the piano intro, the drums and bass were added. The track was only about two minutes long, but that was without a second verse and bridge, both of which I was still working on. 

"That was... really good." Yoongi stated, his eyes still burning through my computer screen. Hobi stood up and started clapping. 

"Yah~ that was awesome! I loved the beat!" Hobi exclaimed. Namjoon just nodded along, not saying anything. 

"Thank you." I said looking down shyly. "I actually created this beat back in America, but I got the inspirations for the piano intro and all from some things I've heard even in your guys' music." I said, still not making eye contact with anyone. 

"You said you had one more?" Yoongi asked. I nodded. "Well... yes, I do. But it's not nearly anywhere ready tot be played for you guys. And also... I'm afraid it won't fit the theme properly so I don't think I'll submit it for the album." I explained. 

"Well now you just got us more curious." Namjoon said. I looked back at my computer screen, debating on whether or not I should just show them what I have so far. 

"You know... maybe I'll just show you guys in a bit when it's slightly more polished. I promise." I stuck my pinky finger out. Yoongi caught it with his pinky. "You promised. Deadline is tomorrow. No excuses." He gave me his gummy smile and got up. 

"I have to be somewhere soon, so I'll be leaving. Great work, Chaewon." Yoongi said, leaving the studio. Hobi watched as Yoongi left, and then looked at me and the Namjoon.

"Yeah, I-I will also be leaving, my sister is in town and I promised I'd go shopping with her." Hobi exclaimed, rushing out of the studio. 

Not knowing what to do now that I was alone in the studio with Namjoon, I started clicking random things on my laptop screen. 

Realizing that it had been silent for five minutes, I decided I would get up and find an excuse to leave. I turned my chair around and was about to get up when I saw a pair of shoes right in front of me. I tilted my head up to see Namjoon's face just inches away from mine. He placed his hands on the arm's of the chair, trapping me in. 

"I want to hear it." He stated, staring me in the eyes. I nervously gulped. But realizing that I hated the effect he had on me, I decided to be bold. "And if I don't let you?" I challenged, still internally nervous. 

He laughed. "You're so adorable." My face flushed red. I stood my ground, staring him back in the face. His eyes moved between my eyes and lips. "If you don't, I'll do this."

Before I could even react, he closed the gap between us. 
"I want to hear it." He repeated. I shook my head no, still trying to stand my ground. 

He smirked before kissing me again. 

"Yah! You-" He cut me off by kissing me again. I gave up.

I turned my chair around, huffing. "I-It's not finished yet, but here.." I clicked play. 

The sound of the sea found its way through the speakers.
