When the moonrise,
it's your time
C'mon yo

Namjoon pov

On the fourth floor of the studio, the Bangtan Boys relax in their private lounge. Following a gruelling dance rehearsal schedule, the Maknae-line likes to spend time with the Hyungs.

Yoongi lay stretch out on the sofa with his head on Jhope's lap. Jhope was texting his soulmate on his phone. Jungkook and Taehyung were wrestling on the floor over the remote control. Both of them wanted to watch something else on TV, and Jimin smirked as he tackled both of the younger maknae-line and took the remote from them.

" Hey, you two, stop it! Or, no Kimchi for you both." Jin-Hyung said in a scolding tone.

Jin was preparing the dishes they ordered from their favourite restaurant.

As Namjoon fell back on the couch, he rubbed his legs with the edge of his elbow, "Wow... my legs are killing me... I can never get used to the rigorous dancing rehearsals. Jhope is the energised bunny."

Jungkook stood up from the floor when Jimin got a hold of the remote, "You must go to the gym more." He glanced at Hyung. Namjoon just rolled his eyes.

Taehyung chuckles teasingly, "Look at the size of our golden Maknae's arms and thighs, and he looks too masculine now.".

A dry smirk brushed across Yoongi's hooded face. "Don't bother me...I'll look strange with thick stubby legs...my legs would even put girl bands to shame. So, take the pink princess."

He gestured to Jin, who was singing the song, Fake love, as he prepared the dinner by himself. That makes the boys snicker.

"Jin-Hyung is well built...look at that shoulders...no wonder Samiya cannot get enough of him," Jungkook smiled. He mimicked her soulmate's kisses, trying to imitate them.

When Jin hears that they are talking about him, he frowns: "Don't talk about beautiful people like that... I can hear you?"

"Is the food ready pretty, Jin?" Jimin snickers and licks his lips.

A dish spoon waved threateningly at the young maknae by Jin, "Watch it, or you'll go on forced fasting? "

A chuckle was heard from the group. The maknae help set up a table for the Hyungs.
The lounge is a great place to relax. It's an open plan, so they will be able to talk to each other while they eat.

As they set up the table, Bang Pd-nim, CEO, called Namjoon

While doing their activities, the entire group studied their leaders face until elation emerged. He puts the phone on speaker and excuses himself.

You've been nominated for not only one but four Radio Disney Awards! Congratulations, my boys! We are making waves in the US music market...!

There were squeals of excitement at that awesome news. The BangPD told them that they could access the nomination lists online.
Their beloved ARMY was also nominated for an award for fiercest fans, alongside big names like Selena, Justin Bieber, and others.

To be recognised and counted globally, they were overwhelmed with joy.

They hang up after thanking BangPD. As they jumped, they were cheering.

Taehyung frowns. "What categories are we nominated in?"

"Favorite group/duo, the best song that makes you smile: DNA, and best dance track: Mic drop," Namjoon said with a charming smile and deep dimples set in his cheeks.

Yoongi smiled a gummy smile. "Oh whoa...that's awesome!". His favourite diss track was that one. It was a hit in America."

Best song that makes you smile.

From their respective countries, the Bangtan Bells called them to congratulate their favourite boys. When they meet again in a few weeks, they will celebrate.

They were so excited to receive the recognition. Social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook congratulated them. As a result of being nominated again, the ARMY fandom was super pleased.

Some radio stations in the USA invited them for an interview. Additionally, they will discuss their newest single.

Namjoon, who looked very satisfied, caused the older boys to smirk. He will meet with his 'bestfriend Jia'. Nevertheless, all his friends know she is his "girlfriend." They adopted a cute little dog together as well.

Bangtan even attended a radio interview. Namjoon saves the day once again with his extraordinary language skills.

During Radio Disney's weekday morning show, the hosts asked the band to talk about their award-winning song "Fake Love." and to explain its meaning.

In the interview, the maknae-line seemed awkward as ever.

In addition, they discussed their fandom Army, which was also nominated. Also mentioned was their Love-Yourself tour.

As the group had two free days to explore the sights around the city, they relaxed at their hotel. The managers and bodyguards accompanied them. There was a lot of phones and Skype communication between them. Namjoon asked for permission to go to his "best friend", who he hadn't seen for a long time, during his free days.

Smirking at Jia's unofficial "girlfriend" status, the Hyungs knew Jia wasn't Namjoons' best friend. Only the Hyungs knew about it, but because Jia has been in Namjoon's life since 2015-16, they accepted her as his bestfriend even though they don't hold hands in public or display affection by hugging or kissing. Jia is madly in love with Bangtan's charismatic leader.

Every day, she prays for Namjoon to meet his soulmate and for their strings to be both yellow so that they can continue their relationship. As long as he loves her, she will wait for him no matter how long it takes.

Together they purchased a stunning mansion in Bel Air's most exclusive neighbourhood. Namjoon's bodyguard accompanied him to Jia with the assurance he wouldn't be found with another celebrity in public places. Namjoon readily agreed.

As soon as he entered the house, Jia was elated.
"Oh my gosh...Joonie. you here." She screamed with joy and almost pulled him down as she jumped onto him. She was lifted high by him.

Namjoon grinned as he embraced her tightly. As she hugged him back full of happiness, he lightly kissed her lips.

The handsome Joon caresses her cheeks with his thumbs and gazes deeply into her beautiful, expressive eyes as he says, "I missed you too. I'm here now.".

"I missed you so much, Joonie; I've made you a delicious dish that I hope you'll enjoy, Jjajangmyeon; my version of Korean black bean noodle.'
She took his hand and led him further into the house. He took his overnight bag to the guestroom and joined her in the kitchen as she heated their food.
Standing there, she looked so content.

Silently, he came to stand behind her, hugging her from behind. It was so hard for him to be apart from her. He kissed her softly in the soft folds of her neck as she prepared the noodles. Jia giggled softly as Namjoon rubbed his face against her neck.

She closed the lid of the dish and turned around, caged by his muscular arms at the counter. He adores her, and they've known each other for almost three years. He doesn't know how to tell her about his soulmark acting out. He had an intense stinging sensation on the back of his shoulder last night.

She looked deeply into his eyes as she smiled. The love she has for him is so strong that she snakes her arms around his neck and kisses him slowly on the lips. With their lips still locked on each other, Namjoon suddenly lifts her in a single movement and places her on the kitchen counter. When they kissed with unbridled passion, her lips smelled like strawberries.

While removing her lips from his, she looked up at him, "I love you, Joonie.".

"I love you too, Ji...I do not want to give you up just yet." He breathed next to her lips. Pecking her lips several times. He can feel it in the air, but he has mixed feelings about his future soulmate. In his gut, he knows that his soulmate will show up someday.

It is impossible to imagine the pain Jia will feel when he meets his destiny. All he knows is that he will find it hard to leave his soulmate if the strings are blue. Jia is not a jealous girl, but she truly loves him, and it would be heartbreaking to dump her after she filled such a void in his life. As his encourager, motivator, and sweetheart, she has always been there for him.

He never triggers the intimacy ritual since he knew the moral code watches would hunt them down, and she is still pursuing her career and cannot afford more than half of the fines. 

"Then, Joonie...don't leave me...I know I sound selfish, but it is my dream for you to choose me as your soulmate. I want you to choose me...please". She looked at him sadly, her lips trembling because she had the feeling that her time with him was coming to an end. The look on his face was like his goodbye to her.

"Baby, I am sorry that my soul mark started acting out again...I don't want to lie to you, but the burning is quite severe. There is a chance of me being blue stringed..but I am not sure how severe it can be since the acting up just began. Are you still interested in continuing this relationship? The fact that you could lose me at any time...FATE knows my heart...I don't want to hurt you any further." His eyes seem moist as Jia's are wide in shock. No, she can't lose him now. He is her "it".

"I'm not ready to lose you...I wish she wouldn't show up now..she would take you away from me...oh my gawd, please don't do that." Jia threw herself against him, crying loudly.

Namjoon held her tightly in his strong arms. The problem can't be wished away. What FATE decides is the law. It will give Jia peace of mind if their string is yellow.

"Jia ...Jia baby listen...I haven't met her yet. What are your plans?" He looked at her as she wiped her eyes, but her tears never stopped.

"I won't break up with you...not now, not ever! Just love me, please!" She pleads with an almost desperate tone.

"Jia, I love you. But I'm afraid I'll lose my love for you when I meet my soulmate. She could be anywhere. At home or even here in America." He looks so sad that this might be their last time together.

In defeat, she smiled a little, "Then let's have the best two days together. No crying or soulmates talk. Let me love you."

Namjoon grins and gives her one last lingering kiss, " Ok. Where is my little boy?... He hasn't greeted his Appa yet. I hope he is growing fast and strong."

As Jia laughed softly, the atmosphere became lighter.
"He's in his playpen. The last time I checked, he was sleeping. I bought him new chew toys because he ruined my morning slippers," Joonie laughed, glad Jia looked calm.

"I'll go greet him and hang out with him while you prepare our food." She went back to the counter as Joonie left her side to take the steps down to the backyard.

As expected, his little husky was enjoying himself with all of his chew toys. He was filled with excitement when he saw Joonie. He barked and jumped and waved his tail. Joonie grinned and lifted him out of the playpen to play with his dog.

The food was delicious. His whole day was filled with enjoyment.

"How is the upcoming album?" Namjoon asks while sipping white wine from his glass.

"Nicki is so fantastic... we prayed it would be a hit. It will be released in a few weeks. I still need to polish two tracks. I have two more offers for collaborations Demi Lovato and Drake. " She giggled. She looks so excited about her upcoming album. This will be her third full-length album. Jia is one of the few Korean artists to break through in America.

"Wow...good for you. I'm so proud of you?" Namjoon gently stroked her knuckles.

"I have an interview lined up with Billboard and "I heart" radio. I have some nervousness, but my agent is so professional that I'll receive the questions they'll ask. They're going to ask me about our friendship." In response, she scrunched up her nose. Everybody hates the dating questions and the disregard for their privacy. Bangtan has all those stupid interviewers who are only interested in their love lives, not their work.

The two days that he and Jia spent together were memorable. The two watched Netflix movies together in front of the television. Eaten takeout. They spent time with their dog, wrote lyrics and spent time in their private home studio. It was also warm enough to take a refreshing swim.

Namjoon wrote her a song, and she immediately informed her producers. As a result of their mutual love and music, their relationship grew stronger. They even plan to include the track on the album.

Jia was so reluctant to let him go when it was time to say goodbye. He spent an extra hour just kissing her. It felt as if those fiery hot kisses were part of the breakup kisses. Namjoon sighs deeply, knowing Jia isn't ready for the inevitable.

FATE has robbed them both. He feels like a jerk, knowing he loves her, but he lied to himself deep down. His feelings for Vicky aren't entirely over, and he wishes he could see her and find closure so that he could move on.

Bangtan returned to South Korea a day later. They were so thrilled to learn they had won the four awards they had been nominated for.

Namjoon received an unexpected call from his idol friend, Jackson, "Hey, my bro, Joonie, and I got some information about your girl  Vicky?"
