SEVENTEEN

When we got to the studio all four of the members were huffing, puffing, sweaty, and simply exhausted. The music had started over from one of the songs I actually recognized. Hoseok stood first, from his position on the ground, grabbing a remote and turning off the music.

"Alright, that was really, really good guys. I didn't see anything to make note of. Taehyung, your hard work is paying off."

"Thanks." He said, as he looked up. He happened to be looking in Jin and I's direction, his sweet smile coming across his face. "Noona and Jin are here."

They all turned to see us, all of them giving us a big smile.

"Noona!" Jimin called, but did not move from his laying position on the floor.

I giggled walking over to them before stood near my brother. "You look exhausted."

"Yeah, but it's so worth it. This tour is going to be amazing."

"Well I think we just came to say hi." I said, waving at Jungkook and Taehyung. I then stood from my crouched position, Hoseok coming to stand by me.

"I think she just wanted to see me dance." He teased, giving me a wink.

"You wish." Jimin said, out of breath still.

I chuckled and Jin walked over to me. "We got her squared away for the tour." He said, making them all give small cheers of joy.

"Did you book her a joining room to Tae and Is?" Jimin asked.

"Actually no. Most of the hotels that we booked don't offer joining rooms, so she is going to be in the room between us. Hoseok, I had to move you across the hall, but it's literally across the hall, so you're not far."

"Works for me." He smiled.

"Your blue hair looks awesome in that dress." Jungkook laughed.

"Oh, speaking of my blue hair, I don't think I want to try to maintain it while on tour. I think I'm going to have Sonny change it back to my natural hair color."

"I'll make that appointment for you." Jin said, bringing out his phone and sending a text.

I then looked over to Hoseok, who happened to be staring at the mirror. When I looked at the mirror, my eyes locked with his.

Ahh. He was staring at me.

I winked at his reflection, which made him smirk before I heard Jimin talk again.

"Noona, tomorrow is my day off. We can spend the day together."

"That sounds great Jiminie. And now I'm allowed out of the penthouse!"

"Great, we can go site seeing."

"Does that mean Wonho will be going?" I asked, turning to him. He smiled and nodded.

"Why?"

"He's my body guard." I laughed. "For the tour."

Hoseok looked directly at Wonho and then back at me. "Don't worry, they are very courteous about privacy, so even though you will be followed the whole time, you wont really notice them there."

"Hobi is right." Jungkook said, now standing. "Plus, you get used to them. I don't even notice TOP anymore."

"TOP?" I asked.

"That's Jungkookie's personal body guard." Tae said. "We all have them."

"Well don't I feel special." I laughed.

"Yours should just be temporary." Jin said. "Once the tour is over and the fans have gotten used to the idea that you're around, the hype will dissipate. You may get recognized from time to time, but nothing too serious."

"Well then, with that said, I look forward to spending the day with you Jimin." I smiled.

"I will probably sleep in, but then we will go."

I laughed. "That sounds good to me. You all have a good rest of your practice."

"I will be sure there is food in the fridge when you come back." Jin added.

On our way back to the penthouse I realized that I didn't actually feel bad for keeping my pending relationship with Hoseok from Jimin, because there really wasn't anything to tell yet. I decided to not allow it to bother me, and just go with the flow.

Jin and I picked up some food for the guys on the way home, and once again Wonho had to escort me from the SUV to the front door. I thanked him and he bowed in response.

It was crazy. The fans all making a big deal about me being around, it seemed a little silly. But I guess it is what it is. Jin and I got plates out and serving dishes putting everything on the table.

"I swear if you are not here in 20 minutes you will regret it." Jin said, hanging up the phone with Yoongi.

"Uh...so is he coming?"

"Oh he'll be here in about 15 minutes."

It made me laugh, and sure enough he was right. Both Yoongi and Namjoon walked in, Namjoon laughing to himself and Yoongi looking annoyed. He walked up to his boyfriend, his hand tucked into the strap of his backpack and let out a huff. Jin simply smiled and gave him a quick kiss on his lips before Yoongi turned and made his way up the stairs. Namjoon grinning as he followed.

"I feel like there was a lot of unspoken words in that exchange."

"There was. He will be down once he puts all his stuff away."

No sooner had we finished setting the table, four extremely tired dancers walked through the front door.

"Foooooood." Jungkook groaned out, letting his duffle bag hang from a hook by the door.

It was quieter than usual when everyone was at the table eating. Jimin sat next to me and between bites he would rest his head on me. Taehyung did the same to Hoseok, who looked like he needed to rest as well.

"Jimin why don't you go to bed early tonight." I said, quietly. "You all seem so exhausted I want you to get some good rest before we make plans."

"I plan on it." He said, letting out a breath. "We aren't always like this Noona, its just we want to be sure that we put on a great show. It may just be 5 cities and 10 shows, but we want it to be good."

"I'm sure it will be fantastic."

The meal after that was very quiet, and one by one the members started to make their way to their rooms to sleep.

"It's everyone's day off tomorrow." Jin said, as Taehyung finally broke down and went to his bedroom. "So we might all just be lazy here."

"That's okay. I hope Jimin doesn't feel obligated to site seeing when he wants to rest."

"No, he wants to go spend some one-on-one time with you." Hoseok said getting up to grab a water bottle from the fridge. "Usually, he wont go to bed until late, late, like one or two am, but he's going to bed now so that he gets enough sleep to feel refresh for a day with you."

"He's so sweet." I said. "What are you going to do with your day off?"

"Oh, probably go shopping." He smiled. "But probably mostly sleep."

As he passed me he as very smooth with not getting caught, but his hand and slipped over the very bottom of my back and over my hips.

It gave me chills, but I took another bite of the ice cream I was enjoying to hide my smile.

"Goodnight everyone." He said, all of us wishing him a good night in return.

"Are you excited to spend the day with Jimin tomorrow?" Namjoon asked, then scooping ice cream into his mouth.

"Actually I am. It will be the first time since I got here."

"Really? You've been here for over a month now."

"I know but the first weekend Jimin had that thing for his friend, and then I wasn't allowed to leave for almost a month."

"Glad to be out of your fishbowl?" He joked.

"Yes, very much so." I said. "I feel like maybe I don't quite understand the extent of the hype yet, but it seems rather bizarre my presence is making people crazy the way they are."

"It will die down." He responded. "Did Jimin tell you where he was taking you?"

"No, I figured I'd just go along for the ride."

"Sounds like fun. I hope you enjoy yourself."

I also went to bed early that night because I wanted to be as rested as possible. I was very excited to spend the day with Jimin. It had been a very long time since the two of us were able to hang out together, and I didn't want to be tired for it.

When I woke up the next morning, Jimin was still sleeping. I wanted him to wake up on his own, and I saw that there was no one in the shower yet. I took the opportunity to get my own shower in.

I took my time, letting the water relax me and ready me for a good day. I scrubbed my whole body with my exfoliating gloves after I had already gotten sugar scrubs all over me. It felt great. I shaved my legs, slowly, sure not to nick myself with the razor. Finally it was time to wash my hair, and as soon as my locks were lathered up in soap, the bathroom door opened.

"Oh shit! Sorry Noona!" I heard Tae say.

"It's okay, I'm covered. You can come in."

"You sure?"

"Yeah." I laughed. "I just am washing my hair, I'm almost done anyway. He smiled and was sure to get into the shower stall that was two away from me, as I was at the far end.

"Jimin is really excited about today."

"Is he awake?"

"No. Not yet. We just talked about it a lot yesterday."

"It will be the first time in years."

"That's what he was saying. He missed you."

"I missed him." I laughed.

"Are you excited about touring with us?"

"Very! I think its going to be a lot of fun. Very different than the life I use to have."

"Before the world new of your famous sibling."

"I hear your siblings done normally get recognized."

"They are too young, their features are still changing."

"That makes sense." I said finishing rinsing my hair of the conditioner. "Glad I remembered a towel this time."

He chuckled. "Yeah, I would just walk and grab one if that happened to me, but if you started walking around naked, I think Jimin would have a heart attack. Or worse even, Hoseok."

I wrapped the towel around me after running it over my head a bit. "Hoseok? Why him?"

"It's been a while for Hobi." His voice teasing. "I think he'd cum in his pants if you were to walk around naked."

I smirked. "You're not giving your friend much credit. You're saying hes a two stroke bloke?"

He gave our a heartly laugh at that, and I placed my hands on my hips now that the towel was in place. "No." He responded. "I don't know what I'm saying."

"I'm sure he would survive a naked woman."

"Oh, I'm sure he'd thrive in one." He replied, but his tone a little serious.

I turned over to him as he was rinsing his hair. When I raised an eye brow at him, he let out a sigh, "Sorry. Hoseok is the only single one here and he's lonely. The problem is though he doesn't just date."

"Being an idol and all?"

"Not even that, he just doesn't date around. He told me once that he has to find a spark."

"Spark?"

"Not the stereotypical spark, a spark within him. He says that when he finds a woman he actually wants to put effort in he'll know. He said that it wont happen by dating. It will be her energy, her attitude. To be honest I kind thought that maybe he'd find it within you after everything Jimin has told us about you. But I know how against it Jimin is."

"Yeah, why is that?"

"Jimin and I will have to hide our relationship until our carreer is over. That might be along time from now. And because we are in the same group its possible, same for the rest of them. Hoseok will be hard pressed to find a woman who will accept keeping their relationship a secret. Unless you are in this lifestyle you just don't understand the importance of keeping it hidden. No one can blame them either, because I want so badly to tell all our minties how their theories are true. But I cant. It would do more damage and until the world changes, we will have to kiss behind closed doors. Jimin doesn't want you to have to go through that."

"Isnt it my choice?"

"Maybe, but I don't think you understand what would be asked of you and what you would sacrifice for it."

"You are less than romantic."

"On the contrary Noona, I am very romantic. I think if he found the right woman, as long as they were both happy, they could achieve anything. Even secrets. Because it wont be forever. Just a long, long time."

He finished up and wrapped a towel around his waist smiling at me.

"I like the way you think Taehyung."

Author's Note

I feel like this story is going really slowly, but I wanted to demonstrate the different opinions of the characters about love and relationships. 

It will pick up within the next chapter or so. 

Thank you for being patient with me!
