I stopped paying attention again when Namjoon's finger tailed down the nape of my neck and down my back, knowing how sensitive my skin is back there. My body shivered slightly, making me squirm. And he had such a smug fucking look on his face.

Namjoon: *whispering* You know you look good in red right?

Me: You think?

Namjoon: Mhm. It's your color.

Me: *smiling* Thanks.

Jungkook: She's so beautiful.

Me: Me?

Jungkook: Yeah you.

Nala: Whoa. Jungkook.

Hoseok: Behave, over there.

Jungkook: It was just a complement.

Me: Well, thanks.

Jimin: Let's give her that. She's much hotter than Minseo.

Naomi: She's also a child.

Yoongi: *laughing* True.

Naomi: What school did you go to, Nari?

Me: LJU.

Naomi: Oh. Major?

Me: um...cosmetology.

Yoongi: *laughing* You can't make this up.

Seokjin: *laughing* Are you working?

Me: I am working.

Naomi: Where? Macy's makeup counter?

Me: I'm a nail technician. I work in a salon.

Naomi: Oh! You own it?

Me: No...no I just work there.

Namjoon: Can you all shut the fuck up?

Naomi: Relax. We're just making conversation.

Me: Well, I'm happy with what I do.

Naomi: So, what attracts you to my brother?

Me: Excuse me?

Naomi: I'm just curious. Is it his money? His car?

Namjoon: Naomi are you fucking kidding me?

Naomi: Shut up. I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to Nari. What do you really know about him?

Me: What the hell?

Naomi: What's his favorite color?!

Me: Black!

Naomi: Movie?

Namjoon: Naomi! Stop!

Me: Casino and The Breakfast Club!

Naomi: Book?

Me: 1984! What the fuck? Why are you quizzing me?

Naomi: Why is it a big deal? If you love him so much.

Me: It's a big deal because this isn't a game! I don't care about money! I can get my down damn check!

Naomi: Then prove it! One thing. One memory. I want something because to me, you look like a superficial bitch.

I peeled myself out of Namjoon's arms and walked out of the hot tub. My wet hands grabbed my phone and popped off the case and unfolded the sheet of paper behind it. I handed it to Naomi and watched her eyes walk across the paper in Namjoon's handwriting.

"It was raining. It was snowing. But all unhappiness stopped. You brought heaven to me. Don't speak so easily, because without you, there's no me. You're the best of me. The best of me."
