"Noons, I'm hungry." Jungkook complained. I tossed him my phone and directed him to a food delivery app. He smiled, content that he was going to be able to eat again. Mind you, this was after he demolished four cups of fire ramen.

Namjoon walked out of the bathroom, his head dripping tiny water droplets on his black shirt. He looked in my direction and then looked knowingly towards Jungkook.

"I want some breadsticks." He said. Jungkook nodded.

I still hadn't decided how I wanted to address Namjoon. First, he called me his 'girl' even though he never officially asked me, and second, he shamelessly let the flight attendant flirt with him. At the same time, he was so incredibly charismatic that it was hard not to want to talk to him or be around him.

He sat on the foot of my bed, facing away from me.

"Okay, I ordered. For you too, Noona." Jungkook announced. "I'm gonna go see what the other rooms are up to."

I was dead tired from all the traveling so I decided that maybe I should take a nap.
I yawned and fell backwards on my bed and reached out to cuddle one of the pillows.

Just as I was drifting off to sleep, I heard a soft, low, voice speak.

"Chae, baby, please don't be mad at me." Namjoon said. My eyes shot open, but I didn't move, because he probably thinks I'm asleep.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I haven't been as direct with communication as I should be. I'm not so good with the whole relationship thing. And now look, I'm talking to myself." He chuckled.

"Anyway, sleep well baby. I'll be back when the food is here." He walked over to my side of the bed. I quickly shut my eyes, not wanting him to know that I heard everything. He brought the blanket up to cover me fully and tucked it in slowly. He bent closer to my face and paused for a few seconds, but stood back up, shut the light off, and left the room.

I let out a deep breath and sat up in my bed. I couldn't take this for much longer. I wanted to be with him, I wanted to be able to call him mine.

I put my glasses on and pulled out my thought journal.

"8:29"

So far, only Namjoon, Jungkook, Jin, and Hoseok were with me in the lobby.

"One more minute, and we are leaving." I said.

"Yah- lighten up, this is the first time you've traveled with us, don't expect us to be on time." Jimin said as he joined us.

"Fine, i'll give a two minute grace period." I smiled widely.

As if on cue, a sleepy Yoongi emerged from the elevator with a stylish Taehyung.

"Ah the two ends of the spectrum. One that took too long because they were sleeping till the last minute, and another that took too long because they were playing dress up." Hoseok laughed.

"All right, we have to go. Same seating arrangement for the cars." I said, ushering everyone outside.

The drive took around 30 mins, which was perfect for my calculation because we parked exactly at 9am.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Taehyung commented.

"It really is, isn't it? Though part of it is missing, that adds to its beauty." I commented.

"Many times, erosion and destruction of historical pieces just makes it that much more interesting and valuable. You realize just how much it's been through yet it's still standing." Namjoon said. We all looked at him. That man always had a way with his words.
