Ronnie ; 런니

"Noona... are you 100% sure?" The uncertainty laced in his voice made me want to wrap my arms around this innocent little bunny's broad shoulder. "Yes, Koo. We've been through this. Just follow your gut. I'll be here." I reassured him, squeezing his already clammy hands.

Jungkook had been visiting our studio for the past two days now— without his hyungs knowing. He had come up to me all shy and fidgety on a Wednesday, asking if I could help him with writing a song. And now we were here, side by side on the couch while I look over his work from time to time. Although he had made it clear that he only needed guidance on lyrics, he had hinted that he wanted to make this one a little on the upbeat side. Making follow up remarks that he was challenging himself to do better which I don't even know if it's possible.

The boy excelled in everything. It just amazes me how passionate he truly is with his job. And I'm not sure if he considers this as one. But one thing I know is that he enjoyed every bit of it—being an idol.

I've noticed the sudden shift in his character; more carefree and open to me compared to how I've met him the first time. Jungkook was naturally a silent person but looking at him now, I couldn't help but observe that he acted a lot more child-like to me and shifts to a mature demeanour when he faced his older brothers.

I didn't even notice the silence that engulfed us when JK decided to break the silence.

"You promised you'd visit us at home and play games with me... noona are you just getting my hopes up?" I stilled when the younger boy decided to strike a conversation after focusing on his notebook for a couple of minutes. It had been a nice light atmosphere before he looked up from his lap and settled his expressive doe eyes at me.

I wracked my brain for the said promise. Did I mention anything..? I smiled sheepishly at him when I only finally remembered now that he reminded me.

I have said this a couple of weeks ago when the maknaes learnt that I had a knack for video games. The hyung line too, when they discovered that I was good at cooking. "How about today at dinner. I'll stop by at your place. Does that sound good or are you all busy? Actually nevermind that! Of course you all ar—" A hand stopped me before I could even facepalm myself. Jungkook chuckled on my side, eyes swimming in amusement as he finally smiled from ear to ear. It seems like he was satisfied with what he heard. "I'll call Jin-hyung now." He got up from his seat and took at least five steps away from our spot to dial his hyung's number.

While he was busy, I suddenly had the urge to open his lyric book. My hands couldn't help it and the next thing I know, my fingers were already skimming word by word. The first few pages looked like it was written long before they had debuted. The ink blotting the fibers of the pages indicating how long it endured time.

I hummed in amazement when the recent ones which were on the very last part of the almost full notebook had been very impressively written, though scribbled harsh in black ink. The words he had used were leaning to mostly on imagery. Subtly putting few slangs but— gosh, it was sooo good. How did he do this? And why was he still uneasy in getting help from Joonie? He was so good!

"Noona!" I looked up and ended up laughing when I see him sporting a pout. He had caught me snooping. It was so adorable. It almost looked like he was whining. Wait. I'm pretty sure he is. He stomped his way over to me but still managed to gently tug the notebook from my grasp. "They're good, Koo! We could work on this! I swear, it has a lot of potential. Or better yet, show this to Joon and Yoongi! They'll know what to do!" I told him excitedly, my hands gripping his shoulders to shake him.

He sighed deeply. His large hands had reached out to lightly scratch his neck— a little thing he did when he was in deep thought.

"Whatever, noona... Let's just go. Hobi hyung had already ordered me to get you there sooner." JK stood up and dusted his pants.

"Yeah, sure. Let me just get my bag." I also stood up, brushing past him to retrieve my shoulder bag on my office chair.

"Ronnie!!!" My eyes widened when series of shouts and whoops resonated through the whole apartment. I haven't even taken a single step away from the door when the boys came bouncing their way to me, all excited to greet me. "They've been bugging me throughout the car ride, noona." JK whispered in my ear. He linked his arm on my left and tugged me further to their flat. I couldn't help but marvel each time I shifted my eyes in every direction. The walls were painted a light shade of gray and was that a chandelier I see?!

I got pulled back to reality when Hobi giggled in front of me. His hands were placed in front of my face as if he was waving them back and forth to awake me from my thoughts.

"Woah... Your place is very nice." I told them sincerely.

I caught myself smiling too when they proudly pointed at things they decorated themselves. My head whipping from one to another, desperately trying to keep up with what they were pointing to when Jimin paused mid-sentence. His eyes zoned out from mine to something behind me. I didn't miss the smirk on his lips though, it held mischief and another thing that I couldn't quite distinguish. It disappeared quickly but I was sure I saw something.

I scrunched my brows in confusion. The others too had stopped talking. They simultaneously stepped back when arms wounded around my midsection, pulling me to a very warm chest. I melted the second lips had found its way to my nape, sniffing and inhaling. "You smell so good." The voice gruffed out deeply.

I flushed when the others began rolling their eyes. Excitement no longer there and they all dejectedly began filing to the direction of the couch. "Hi." I greeted once I turned around.

"I was in the shower and no one even bothered to call me." Tae sulkily told on his brothers. He wrapped his arms around my shoulders again and tucked my head further to his chest with his chin.

"Why are you clinging so hard to me today?" I teasingly narrowed my eyes at him.

Actually, it all started the other day. I noticed that after we finished our date, he had become extra touchy and cuddly even.

"I just like you soooo much." His voice was slightly muffled but it didn't hinder the warm feeling I got when he said it. My stomach churned and twisted, mimicking that of a butterfly's.

"I like y—"

"Alright. Both of you, shut up and get your asses here in the living room." Yoongi's snarl shattered the bubble me and Tae was in. Instead of getting irritated, I found myself laughing at his disgusted face.

"Whatever, Yoongs." I nudged him when I got closer.
