VIII

          In all honesty, I had no idea how long I had been sleeping before I started hearing murmurs coming from behind the sofa.

I slowly opened my eyes, looking around the area letting my eyes adapt to the brightness. I turned my body quietly, popping my head up to see who it was talking so loudly.

The hushed whispers continued from Hoseok, Jimin and Jungkook. I tried listening to what they were saying but the more I concentrated on what was being said, the more it sounded softer, as if they were getting quieter.

Hoseok glanced over at me before doing a quick double-take noticing me looking at them. A small shriek left his lips when we made eye contact making the other guys look at me and stiffen up.

"What ya whispering about?", I smiled resting my elbows on the back of the sofa letting my hand hold my head up as I looked at all of them, "you sharing secrets?"

They simultaneously shook their heads but none of them spoke up, just staring at me like deer caught in headlights.

I stood up from the couch and started stretching my limbs causing the boys to come back to their senses.

Jungkook spoke up right away, "we only came down because we were hungry and we saw you sleeping, and we didn't know if we should have woken you up or not, noona."

"Oh food? I can go for some food." We started making our way to the kitchen / dining area, "I fell asleep waiting for someone to come down so I could ask for food, but no one did."  I jokingly pouted, trying to get a reaction out of them.

"We're so sorry! We forgot you were here until we saw you sleeping." Jimin said, trying to make the situation better.

"Ouch, I was joking, but that lowkey actually hurt coming from you, Jimin."

I pouted for real this time, "you forgot about me? After everything that happened back at the club?"

I pointed to my chest, "that hurts, man." I looked down and pretended to softly sniffle.

Jungkook slapped Jimin's back in comfort, "It's okay, 'man', you'll need this after being friendzoned like that." he said as he set a bowl of instant ramen down in front of each of us.

I giggled as I dug into my noodles, "I love food," I continued eating as the rest of the boys all came down the stairs looking freshened up.

"Ah! Hello again, come eat!" I mentally facepalmed as I realized I just invited them to eat their own food in their own house.

I let out a big sigh, "Of course you don't need my permission to eat your own food, forget I said that." I rubbed my face with my hands.

"It's oka—"

"Are those real?" Namjoon was interrupted by a very interested looking Taehyung.

"Umm, what?" I asked in bewilderment

Yoongi smacked the back of Taehyung's head, "you can't just go around asking girls if 'they're real', that's just rude, apologize."

"Ow, hyung! No, I meant her tattoos," Tae quickly rubbed his head, "are your tattoos real?"

"Oh!" I stuck my left hand out and started waving it around, "yes, they're real!"

The boys all looked at my hand in amazement.

"Wow!"

"They look so cool!"

"Did they hurt?"

"You're so cool!"

"Wow, I never thought I'd ever live to hear BTS call me cool." I started wiping at my eyes.
