Namjoon’s POV

I laid there in bed, not wanting to get up. I knew that we would have to leave soon, but I couldn’t bear the thought of leaving Maryanna behind. Sure, she had Lexi and Kylie, but I would miss her too much. I know I am being a little selfish, but it is moments like these, where the sun is barely creeping through the curtains to dance across the floor as I hold her to my chest under the blankets, that make me sad for the moments ahead. Where she won’t be here, and I won’t be there. Nothing to connect us except a screen, unless I would be too busy. I hated the very thought.

I couldn’t keep thinking like this. I don’t want to ruin what time I have left, so I sat up on my elbow to get a better look at Maryanna. She looked so peaceful, with her eyes softly closed and her hair sprayed on the pillow.

I remembered the first time that she stayed the night. She was scared that we would get too hot, or too cold, or her hair would end up in my mouth, and make us both uncomfortable. None of these things happened, and it helped to calm her nerves about if she should ever come over again, which gladly she did.

“You look like a creep smiling at her like that. Just peering over her like, HeLLo LitTle GirLy!”

Shocked I turned around to see Jungkook leaning against the doorframe that led to his and Taehyung’s part of the cabin. That little brat. I grabbed my pillow and threw it at Jungkook, but missed and knocked something over from one of the dressers. He immediately ran into his room and shut the door, and presumably locked it.

“Shit..” I mumbled, and turned over to see if the sound woke her up.

She started to roll over so I quickly lied back down and closed my eyes. I probably would have been more convincing if I was laying on an actual pillow instead of my elbow awkwardly stuck underneath my head.

“Joonie?” I knew she was facing me and tried to slow my breathing to make it seem like I was asleep.

“Come on. It’s time to get up sleepy head...” I felt her hand on my shoulder as she placed a gentle kiss on my forehead. I couldn’t help but smile, and when I heard her soft giggle, my smile grew even more. She then poked my dimple that must have been showing, and I carefully opened my eyes.

The sun shone on her face and added a lighter hue to her hair, a tanner hint to her skin, and if you looked close enough, a few golden specs would shine in her eyes. God, she was beautiful. My smile was a full open-mouthed one now, but I couldn’t help it.

“What is it?” She said, soft enough that I could hear it but quiet enough to not wake up Tae and Jungkook, who she probably thought was still asleep.

“It’s nothing.” I reached up to cup her cheek with my palm and kissed her nose. She closed her eyes, she must be too tired right now.

“We need to get up.” Her words contradicted her expressions, but it was cute, you had to admit. I chuckled softly and pulled her back down into bed and she didn’t argue. She curled up into my chest and I rubbed circles on her back with my finger.

“I doubt everyone else packed up yesterday, so we have some time. Just relax.” She mumbled a small ‘mmmkay’ into my shirt and I’m sure she felt the vibrations of my laughter through my chest. She didn’t seem to mind as much as we just laid there.

Soon enough my alarm went off and I unwrapped my arms from around her in order to get out of bed. I started to get dressed in the bathroom and brush my teeth. When I came out she was sitting upright in bed. I walked over and knelt on top of the bed to be on her level and tucked some stray hairs behind her ear. She looked at me with those beautiful eyes that I love.
