Snow White & the 7 Idols

Chapter 31

We finally finished filming the show. It took being on set for the next two weeks, but it was finally over. I'd become really good friends with everyone on set, and I was glad it was different than the way Bo Ra treated me. After the drama filming, I had a ton of commercials, the preview filming, the press release and PD Eum had me training in other areas as he played with the idea of putting me in a girls' group. Two months flew by.

I waited at the house anxiously as I placed the last plate on the table. I decided to make the guys a 'welcome back' dinner. I heard the lock system disengage and smiled. I rushed to the door to see the guys dragging their bags through the door. They smiled tiredly when they saw me. Namjoon stepped forward and pulled me into a tight hug.

"I've missed you so much," he breathed near my hair. The guys laughed at us, but I didn't care. I pulled away from him to smile at everyone.

"Let's go to the dining room," I smiled. Namjoon held my hand in his as we all walked in a group to where the buffet was laid out on the table.

"Wah, Daebak! Laine, did you cook all of this?" Taehyung asked. I nodded.

"I wanted to welcome you home properly," I smiled at them. They all took a seat and dig in hungrily.

"This is delicious, Laine. Thank you," Hoseok said with a mouth full of food. After we finished eating, the guys told me all about their tour and I caught them up with what had been going on with me lately. After we had all worn ourselves out thoroughly, we retired to our rooms. It felt good to have the house full again. I was especially glad to be able to fall asleep with Namjoon laying next to me.

"I was thinking we should do something special for our one year anniversary," Namjoon said as he dried his hair with a towel. I sighed before looking at him as I sat on the bed.

"Before that, I need to figure out where I'll be in a month. Our abroad program is supposed to end next month. I'm supposed to be going back to the States to graduate," I admitted. Namjoon froze as he stared at me wide eyed. I could tell he'd completely forgotten what actually brought me to South Korea. He dropped the towel over his shoulder as he came to sit next to me on the bed.

"What are you going to do? Are you leaving?" He asked anxiously. I shrugged.

"I told PD Eum about it and he's looking into officially transferring me to Seoul National so I can walk the stage here, but my credits aren't exactly lining up so they're running into some conflicts. The other option would be to go home briefly and walk the stage. We already asked the University and they won't let me walk with them for a different college," I explained.

"That's unfair," he pouted. I chuckled and touched his cheek gently.

"I'm sure they'll figure something out," I said optimistically. Truthfully, I had no idea what was going to happen.

"Then you may not be here for our anniversary," he remembered.

"It's 50/50 right now," I confirmed. He groaned.

"Ah, this is giving me a headache. For now, let's go to sleep," he said before turning off the lamp. The moonlight filtered into the room, making Namjoon look even more unreal as the soft light highlighted his bone structure. Almost as if I was in a daze, my hand touched his cheek gently as he laid next to me. I inched closer to him before bringing my lips to his. His arm wrapped around my waist as he deepened our kiss, parting my lips slightly with his own. As the heat increased, I was flipped on to my back. I was hyper aware of the fact that I was pants-less and wearing his shirt. He broke our kiss before he just smiled at me lovingly.

"Let's try to keep anyone else from hearing this time," he said softly. I felt my face go red but my desire increased on its own. He pushed up to take his shirt off before hovering over me again. My hand touched his chest as I smiled gently.

"I'll do my best," I joked before his lips covered mine again.

The next morning, all of the guys were passed out. Even Namjoon didn't stir when my alarm went off. After making breakfast for the guys, I headed to the company. My schedule had been cleared for the next few days to try and figure out my graduation. After getting PD Eum from the company, we headed to the university. We talked with them for what seemed like hours, but eventually we came to a conclusion. PD Eum didn't want to send me back home and disrupt my schedule, but we also had my Visa to consider. The university finally agreed to let me graduate with the class they had. We also made a plan to request for an extended work Visa. Since I had all the documents I needed, it would be a simple matter of submitting them. By lunchtime, we already had a plan in motion and I got the next few days off.

I went straight back to the house and up to Namjoon's room. He was still sleeping. In fact, the whole house was quiet. They must have been exhausted from their tour. They weren't the type to sleep this much... well everyone except Yoongi. I changed out of my clothes before pulling Namjoon's shirt over my head and crawling back into the bed. Even in his sleep, his arms went around me protectively. I couldn't help the smile that made its way to my face as I rested my head against his chest. I really hoped I could stay.
