An Armful Of Hope

CHAPTER ONE: They Fell Into Love

During a rehearsal for the filming of a music video, one of the other dancers bumped you and you start falling back and reach out for the closest thing to grab a hold of.

Landing flat on your back you are staring up into the most gorgeous happy eyes you have ever seen staring back at you.

He is over you pushed up on his arms to keep from crushing you beneath him.

"Are you ok?"

Wind knocked from your lungs you try to breath. You both are still staring into each others eyes.

You smile and he smiles back then helps you sit up as you both begin laughing together.

"Are you alright?" he asks again.

You smile as you adjust your clothes and knock off any dirt. "Yes, I'm doing great. Sorry, I didn't mean to take you with me when I fell."

Just then the other dancer comes over, "Are you ok?"

You give him a hug "I'm alright Rey." he smiles and then looks at J Hope.

"My apologies Mr. Jung. I'm so sorry to have caused you two to fall like that."

J Hope says "We both are fine, no worries."

Rey sighs with relief "Thank goodness, I'm so glad you're both alright."

The dancers are called to run through the choreography again. J Hope's rehearsal is done but he stays because he wanted to watch you dance.

He has been crushing on you for months now and he spends as much time in your company as he can.

He thinks you're cute, but none of them have time for things like that. He thought to himself that maybe he should make time . . . for you.

Jimin walks up to him and stands besides him watching him watching you.

"You have a crush on her don't you Hyung?"

Caught by surprise watching you he suddenly looks at Jimin "Oh, uh no, of course not. I just like watching her, uh them dance."

Jimin says "Don't lie to me, it wont work."

He grins and then J Hope grins back. "Yes, Jimin I do."

He smiles at J Hope "She is crushing on you too."

Shocked yet hopeful he faces Jimin "How do you know?"

Jimin still smiling says "She is always talking to me about you and stealing glances at you while you're dancing."

J Hope sighs, "Jiminshii, I think I'm falling in love."

Noticing the far away dreaming look in his hyungs eyes he smiles and takes him by the arm "You ready to go?" he nods and they leave the staging area.

You notice J Hope was gone by the time you finished rehearsal, you quickly looked around for him but he was no where to be found. Grabbing your towel you dry off your face disappointed.

Rey comes over to you "I'm really sorry about earlier."

You smile at him, "No worries, no one was hurt." you grin "Except maybe my pride."

He laughs with you. "Hey, do you want to grab some dinner with me tonight?"

You drape the towel over your shoulder, "No, I can't tonight. I'm working on a new dance routine for my advanced hip hop glass." you grin at him "It's time to teach them all about isolation."

He laughs "Oh now that is going to be fun, record it for me."

You laugh back, "I always record the classes so they can study them."

He smiles "We should get together some time and go over them together, critique their progress."

He steps closer about to run his hand down your arm, you step away with the pretense of putting your towel away.

Slightly exasperated you tell him "I appreciate the offer to help, but I do it so they can critique themselves. Believe me they are hard enough on each other they don't need our help."

You softly smile hoping he has gotten the point. You have been trying to be nice when brushing off his unwanted advances. But it seems lately he is taking more and more liberties.

He has been trying to spend time alone with you for months now. He has become more advanced in his moves towards you.

An accidently touch here, a slight brush of a hand there. You wonder if todays 'accidental' bump was on purpose. Maybe he hoped it would be him you fell with legs and arms entangled.

You shake that thought off, surely that is not the case.

You liked Rey as a friend, you didn't have romantic feelings for him. You already have a crush, your heart only has room for one.

You head to the ladies changing room and take a shower then dress in fresh clothes for your trainee class at Bangtan Music. You have just enough time to grab a snack out of the vending machine before leaving.

CHAPTER TWO: Damn, Girl You're Good

You head out to Bangtan Music where you teach those in training for debut specific areas of dance, hip hop, break dance, pop n lock and your favorite isolation.

Two hours later class is over and you now have free time in the dance studio just for you.

You turn the lights down to a more normal setting, start music and begin isolation, to you it is like ballet. You are so into the music and your body that you didn't know you were being watched. When the music ended you grabbed your towel just as the door opened.

You were startled and jump "Oh!"

Then you see it's J Hope and you smile laughing "You scared me."

He smiles "I didn't mean to scare you. I'm sorry."

Laughing you say "It's ok. I'm just so use to being alone after I teach my class."

He steps closer, "I was watching you dance just now. You're good, I mean really good."

You smile at him "Thank you."

He steps a little closer, "I came by to check on you. I wanted to make sure you weren't hurt from earlier when we fell."

You slightly blush, "I'm sorry about that."

He says "Don't be, I'm just glad you're not hurt." You smile holding out your arms "See, I'm good, no lasting effects."

He grins as he goes to start up music, "Good, then dance with me."

Surprised you say "What?"

He says "Hip hop, isolation, lets dance." He walks back to you waiting to see what you would do.

You both start grinning at each other and he starts dancing. You quickly join in. Next thing you know hours have gone by. You were having so much fun.

He drops to the floor trying to catch his breath, "Damn girl, you're good!"

You plop down beside him, "Thank you. You aren't so bad yourself."

He starts laughing and says "Call me J."

You smile, "I like it . . J."

He says "I keep telling people to call me J but only a rare few do. I mean, I like J Hope but sometimes I just like being J."

He looks intently at you, "Can I be honest with you?"

"Of course, always."

He looks down at his lap, "Sometimes it's just hard to keep the Hope persona up all the time."

You reach out and take his hand in yours he slowly raises his face. You look at him sweetly.

"J, we can't be happy all the time, or be the sun for everyone, we . . you and I are only human."

His mood seems to have lightened up and he says "How long have you been dancing?"

You giggle "My mom will tell you I was dancing before I was born."

He laughs. "So you had a head start on me."

You grin at him "I guess so." You had fun dancing with J Hope, he is such a fantastic dancer.

You start to stand and he jumps up and takes your hand helping you.

"Well, I need to head home and get dinner, I'm hungry. I had so much fun dancing with you tonight J."

He hasn't let go of your hand yet, "I'm hungry too. We can go out and grab a bite."

You lift your sweaty shirt from sticking to you and then grimace, "I can't go out like this."

He looks at you as he eyes slowly travel down your body he says "We can stop by my place, take showers then head out to eat."

Startled you look at him frowning "Seriously? You want me to take a shower with you?!"

He blushes "No, no that's not what I meant. I just meant there are 8 bedrooms and bathrooms at my place. You can use the spare room and bath. The guys wont mind."

You raise your brows, "The 'guys wont mind', what do you mean the guys?"

"The others and I share a large house and you are more than welcome to come shower and change there."
He looks around "You do have a change of clothes with you don't you?"

You heave a little sigh, "Yeah, I do. How far is your house?" he smiles happy you are considering coming over.

You tell him where you live and he says "I'm a lot closer, come on lets go."

You grab your bag and he takes your hand as you leave. You can't believe you are doing this.

CHAPTER THREE: Girl In The House!

Upon entering the house he loudly yells out "GIRL IN THE HOUSE!"

You start laughing. He says "Just to make sure they are um, well you know."

You nod "I understand" and start to giggle.

You look around the house. It has an open floor concept and you love it. "This is a beautiful house J."

He smiles at you "We like it. Though it did take compromising, bickering and such till we were all in agreement on it."

You say "I bet."

He says "There had to be a 'Genius Lab' of course."

Laughing you say "but of course and is there a dance studio?"

He smiles "But of course." and you both laugh.

He starts to take your jacket to hang it up when you stop him. Wrinkling up your nose you say "Um let me keep it on for now. You know sweat and all."

Remembering how shear your shirt had become after dancing and sweating he blushes slightly, "Oh, yeah." and helps you put it back on recalling the memory of it etched in his mind.

Jin comes out from the kitchen area "Hi. Have you eaten yet?"

You giggle at him, he is so cute in his apron with "World Wide Handsome Chef" on it and him holding a wooden spoon.

Grinning up at him you say, "I'm starving."

He smiles broadly "Then you're in luck I am making dinner tonight."

You heard rumors of his cooking and are excited to actually try something he makes. You smile back at him.

"Thanks. I can't wait to eat."

J Hope says "We were going to shower then change to go out to eat."

Jin looks shocked at him "Excuse me?!"

Realizing what Jin must be thinking you say, "J Hope . . ."

You pause as you see him giving you a playful glare, so you correct yourself, "J offered me to use the spare room since here was closer than going to my home to change."

Jimin comes around the corner running his hand through his still damp hair from the shower followed by Jungkook.

Jimin says "Oh Hyung brought a girl home." he looks at you with his flirty smile.

"Hi beautiful, it's good to see you here." He quickly glances at J Hope.

"Hi Jimin, it's good to see you again."

He gives you a wink that no one else seemed to notice and you slightly blush.

Jungkook looks around smiling so cutely, "So we can bring girls back here now?"

Namjoon comes from the living room laying his book down, "No, YOU can't." he grins at Jungkook.

Namjoon takes your hand "It's good to see you."

You say "Its good to see you too. Have you been practicing?"

He looks at the guys, "She has been helping me improve my dance moves."

You smile up at him "And you are doing great. I'm very impressed."

J Hope says "So that is why."

Namjoon smiles at J Hope, "So you did notice."

He pats his shoulder and proudly says, " Yes, I did."

J Hope turns to you "Come on, I will take you to the spare room so you can shower and change."

You follow him to a room down the hall. He thinks to himself, 'I can't believe my crush is actually here'. It feels like my heart is about to beat from my chest.'

He opens the door and lets you enter while he stays standing at the threshold. "Everything you should need is in the bathroom, towels, soap, shampoo and stuff."

"Thank you J."

He goes to close the door, "Oh, and lock the door. I don't know if Taehyung or Yoongi know you're here yet. Don't want any surprises."

You lightly laugh and once the door is closed you lock it.

Sitting your bag on the bed you get out your change of clothes then head to the bathroom and start the water for the shower.

You can't believe you're here and with your crush. You place your hand over your rapidly beating heart and smile.

CHAPTER FOUR: Yeah, I'm Thirsty

J Hope finished getting ready first and heads to the kitchen. On his way he passes Yoongi's Genius Lab and hears him working. He figures they wont be seeing him at dinner tonight as he loses himself in his work.

When he enters the kitchen Jin turns to him "Dinner is almost ready, Tae is setting the table."

J Hope says "I was hoping to take her out for dinner, alone."

"No worries, I have been dying to try Jin's cooking" you smile as you enter the kitchen.

Looking at J you tell him "Maybe we can go out to dinner another time?"

He smiles brightly thinking to himself, 'she wants to go out with me!'

J Hope looks at you, "Can I call you later in the week to discuss dinner plans for a future date, um I mean time?"

Smiling at him you say "Yes, I would like that."

Tae comes into the kitchen, "Table is set. Oh hi Noona."

Smiling his boxy smile at you. "Hi Taetae."

Jungkook comes in "Hey, is dinner ready I'm hungry." everyone laughs.

Tae says "You're always hungry."

Jungkook grins at Tae "and thirsty."

Jin and J Hope grin at each other and roll their eyes, you giggle at Tae and Jungkook.

Jungkook blushes "I'm thirsty for banana milk, geesh get your minds out of the gutter people!"

He goes to the fridge to get a container of banana milk. "Hey, Noona do you want one?"

He is reaching in for a second container "Sure, I love banana milk."

You take it after he opened it for you and take a few swallows, "Mmm nice and cold. Thank you Jungkook."

He smiles proudly, "You are very welcome. There is more if you want any later."

The others look at him, Jin says "You're offering up your banana milk?"

He grins at Jin "Only for Noona." he gives you a cute bunny smile.

During dinner, J Hope suddenly remembers "Oh, save some dinner for Yoongi, he's in his lab."

After dinner Jin has set aside a plate for Yoongi. They hadn't seen him most of the day. He was busy working on a new track for their next album.

The guys ask if you want to do karaoke.

"Sure!"

J Hope takes your hand and smiles as he leads you into the game room. After a couple of laughter filled rounds of karaoke the rap line (minus Yoongi) wants a turn.

You, Jimin and Jungkook are pop locking and having a blast when Jungkook's arm suddenly comes directly towards your face. You jerk back to avoid getting hit in the face and fall backwards.

The only thing close enough to grab a hold of is J Hope. You both fall to the floor tangled in arms and legs, eyes locked on each other.

The room suddenly goes quite and the spell breaks when you hear a door close. You both look around and everyone has left the room. Embarrassed you go to sit up and he helps you.

He is smiling "So here we are once again in each others arms."

You blush, "It seems like destiny is determined to bring us together."

He looks longingly into your eyes and gently caresses your cheek, his eyes wondering to your lips.

You both slowly start to lean towards each other.

"UGH! love! A guy can't get any sleep around here."

You both jump apart surprised any one was still in the room. A sleepy Yoongi gets up from the back couch where no one knew he was and starts to leave the room.

He stops at the door his hand on the knob. He turns from the door and rubs his sleeve over his eyes. He looks at you and sleepily says "Hi, it's about time he asked you over."

He yawns as he turns back to the door. You're trying not to laugh as you see J blushing deeply.

"Good night Yoongi."

J says, "Night Hyung."

He grumbles a sleepy goodnight then leaves closing the door behind him.

You both laugh then J Hope says "Should we?"

You ask "Should we what?"

He says "Should we let destiny bring us together?"

Closing the distance you fill your arms full of Hope and whisper "Yes" and kiss him.

He moans softly as he kisses you passionately back.

After closing the door Yoongi stops to stretch, Jimin sees him.

"Hyung were you in there the whole time?"

"Yeah, I was trying to take a cat nap." He places a hand on Jimin's shoulder as he passes and quickly looking back at the door he says, "It's about damn time those two got together."

Jimin nods in agreement.
