the strong woman he fell for

"You are a fairly unexpected person to receive me", I couldn't help but smile. There was something about his aura that always made me show more than what I feel. And because I feel so empty, my smile was normal.

"A fairly unexpected reaction from you, I thought you'd hug your sweet oppa", I chuckled lightly and locked my arms with his as he grabbed onto my trolley.

"What are you doing here, at this hour? Aren't you scared of the...paparazzi?"

He shook his head no and smiled from behind his bucket hat while pulling it lower to cover half his face. I laughed at his contradicting actions, and continued to follow his steps.

"I was the only one who could stay awake, so I came", he opened the door of a car, the same one where Taehyung and I were. The driver had the fixed the partition, so I couldn't see anything in the front.

After boarding in, we were seated across each other as he removed his hat.

"Ah! New hair colour...I love it. You look handsome, Oppa!"
It was now him who chuckled, and looked down with slightly reddened cheeks. His gums on full display when he looked up to give me a heart sign.

"How are you, Nia?"
Shouldn't have asked that. My wide smile immediately fell, as I squirmed in my seat uncomfortably.

"Hoseok told me about it. It's only the young ones who haven't been told yet, they're too attached to you, they'll feel bad..."
"You aren't attached to me? Ah, I'm sad now", failed at trying to be cute and okay. He saw through my fake acts, and leaned closer. His elbows above his knees, the veins showing through his white skin after he'd rolled his sleeves up.

"He won't disturb you anymore, I promise you that. We were waiting for you to come back."
"What do you mean?"
"We'll talk to the boys tomorrow, it's a Sunday and I'm hoping you're free..."
"I got three days off."
"Yes well, from tomorrow Ma will have infinite days off."

I smiled at how very serious and solemn he sounded. His sleepy deep voice adding to the effect. I nodded slowly, not bothering to ask what exactly they were going to do, because I trust them.

"You're sleeping in the building tonight. Jihyuk had arrived two hours ago, he told me, so chill, okay?"

"Yes, oppa." I simply said, the way I addressed him casually slipping out. Yoongi is the only one I've been able to call oppa without feeling weird.

"Tired?"
"A lot. Where are the boys?"

"Where can they be?"

If the practise room would have mattresses, I think they'd never leave. And there they were; mattresses.

The entire floor was covered with them, endlessly. Not even an inch of tile showing.

"We had our day off, and well...we played a lot..." Yoongi Oppa scratched the back of his neck and smiled sheepishly, clearly embarrassed of using their free day to play and make mattress floors.

"Idiots! Wake up!"

They all suddenly got alerted and started to fumble and stumble unconsciously.

"Is it time already? When does she reach?"
"Exactly thirty minutes ago." I said, and they all rubbed and opened their eyes to find me in full view.

Jungkook being the first one to jump on the soft floor and run to me. He hugged me tightly as Yoongi Oppa laughed softly and walked towards the others. I was picked up by him and dragged to where everyone was tiredly sitting.
