You picked up the backpacks and tucked your phone away and headed back to the talent area. You saw another actor was there, so instead of sitting in the chair, you decided to camp out sort of behind it.
The actor glanced up as you entered the area but saw your lanyard and relaxed a bit. You nodded hello to each other and you set your backpack down on the cement behind Yoongi's chair and got out your phone to check on some other things while you waited. You had some new subreddit threads to read and a few Wattpad notifications so plenty to keep you busy while Yoongi did his thing.
The actor looked a bit taken aback at you sitting on the cement, but you quickly glanced back down at your phone and huddled into Yoongi's jacket. You opened a new search window to start to investigate how much a jacket of your own was going to cost you before you saw the shoes at your feet.
Your heart leaped as you saw Yoongi bend down to talk to you.
"Everything ok Miss (Y/N)?" He asked you knew he'd reverted back to formalities for the ears of the talent nearby.
You smiled as you pushed him back a bit and made to stand up. Yoongi reached down a hand to pull you up, but this time you were onto his sneak attacks and let go before he could tug you into an embrace. You giggled a bit as you watched Yoongi's mouth form a pout, but you hurried to shrug out of the coat and get it back to Yoongi. It was freezing in here. I wonder if the other talent has already complained to Jason about the temps, you thought as you watched Yoongi pull on the down coat and sit down in his chair. He frowned at you when he saw you were sitting on the cold cement on your backpack, but you knew this was the way of assistants. You dug out your phone and sent Yoongi a LINE message.
"It's only for today and only for a few more hours. And we'll get to have a dinner break shortly, so we can go back to where we were sitting before." You pressed send and looked up at Yoongi who had dug his own phone out.
When he read the message, you saw the smile on his face before he responded, fingers flying over his phone. What do you know, Yoongi Min was a one handed typer too. You watched his hands wrap around his phone, the long pianist fingers making swift work of his message.
He looked down at you and you checked your phone.
"I hope they still have hot chocolate. We'll need other ideas for keeping warm soon." You smiled at the emojis Yoongi had added to your text and sent back two of your own.
The other talent cleared his throat and struck up a conversation with Yoongi and you paid attention for a few moments before realizing Yoongi had it covered.
It sounded like they had met previously at some award ceremony, so you went back to your search for the jacket. The price wasn't terrible but you weren't sure about a size. Since Yoongis was so big it fit you over top of your own coat, you thought you probably wanted a size smaller, but the length was fantastic. You just hoped it wasn't a LV or Hermes coat. That would definitely dent your bank account.
In the middle of pondering exactly how much a Chanel puffy coat was going to cost you, you got a LINE notification from Yoongi.
"Any idea whats up next or just hang out until 9?" he asked.
"I don't know, I should find that PA and see if he knows," You answered back. "Maybe we can sneak in some dinner too. Yoongi, I called the hotel and there seems like there was another problem there too but they did confirm four suitcases and the silver case for your keyboard, so after they let us go here, we can take my car and head up to the hotel."
Yoongi's whole body seemed to sigh when he read the part about staying until 9. And you sent back another message.
"Were you able to sleep on the plane at all? You haven't been up since you got on the plane in Seoul have you?" you typed.
Yoongi looked down at you and shook his head no as soon as he read the message, but then started typing again, apparently thinking better of answering in front of the other talent. Your phone vibrated a moment later and you read the message.
"No I slept a bit over the Pacific, but LA to Chicago I didn't sleep at all. I was thinking I would get a nap once we got here, but that hasn't happened yet." You look at each other and make a face.
"Ok then I'm going to find that PA, see if we can break for dinner now and if we REALLY have to be here until 9. That's more than 12 hours on set for a talent and that doesn't seem right." You sent back.
Yoongi read the message and nodded.
"Why don't you leave the packs with me to watch Miss (Y/N) and go find that PA?" He asked aloud and you agreed. Standing up was slow because your butt was so cold, and Yoongi mouthed, "Ok?" at you.
You smiled and nodded.
"Just in need of some warmth," you replied. The smile on Yoongi's face probably matched your own. You nudged his pack with your foot closer under Yoongi's chair, and moved you pack to behind his feet.
"Mr. Min, please text me if you need to return to the stage before I get back and I will hurry back." You say and bow a bit before leaving. As you leave you hear the other talent question Yoongi about the lack of trailer and Yoongi explain the lack away by saying it was a scheduling issue.
You walked towards the stage and stood off to one side while you kept your eye out for the PA. You texted Derek to see if he knew the kids name, but Derek wasn't responding. You fidgeted in place for a few minutes, and finally gave up. If they wanted Yoongi, the PA knew he didn't have a trailer, but you were both cold tired and hungry again.
You went back to Yoongi and grabbed your pack and he said goodbye to the other talent. Yoongi looked towards you as you shouldered your pack and followed you out from the warmth of the heaters towards the back set area.
"Didn't find him did you?" Yoongi teased.
"No I did not. What I did find was my freezing feet and my hungry stomach again. Should we look for dinner now?" you asked.
Once again Yoongi offered his arm as though he was escorting you into a grand gala and you happily took it to go find more comfort than just the cold cement and uncomfortable chair offered.
A few hours of warm food, warmer drinks and conversation you and Yoongi had both started to flag. It was rounding up on 8 o'clock and you hadn't seen the PA for hours, and no one had come to claim Yoongi. At a break in your conversation, you dug out your phone and sent a text off to Jason Avercedes.
"Jason, no one has called Mr. Min to the set in hours and we're both exhausted and freezing. Do you have any idea if he's really needed again tonight, otherwise I would love to get him settled into his hotel." You sent off the text and turned to Yoongi.
"Hopefully we're almost done for today." You smiled with hope on your face as you said it, but Yoongi just grimaced.
"I am sorry Babygirl that you got dragged into all this. I want to say Thank you for everything you've done today, even if you didn't have to." Yoongi traded the cup in his hand for the other, and reached for your hand again and gave it a squeeze. As you looked down at the Harbor Freight gloves on the hands of a man who consistently wore Vuitton and Dior you gave your own grimace. Hopefully you could get him settled into the hotel and he would have his own, warmer gloves, tomorrow.
"Yoongi even as crazy as it was, I am very glad I got to spend even this time with you," You replied.
Yoongi straightened up a bit
"Babygirl, it doesn't end with today," he said forcefully. "This...us... goes past tomorrow. You know that right? We need to have more conversations to have and more meals to eat, I need to see your bookcases and you need to hear more of my music."
He turned towards you entirely on the bench seat of the little table and put his cup down to take both your hands in his.
"I was trying to figure out how to talk to you and your friend this morning before you approached me. I heard her talking and I saw you checking me out. I was just glad you didn't seem to notice that I was checking you just as hard." He said more quietly.
You were shocked and delighted all at once. Min Yoongi, in the terrible light of the back stage and the standing heaters...seemed to have his own blush on his cheeks.
You couldn't seem to help it, so you gave in to your feeling and leaned towards him a little more. You let your forehead rest against his before whispering a simple "I know."
You stayed like that a few seconds before you realized you were still in public, on set and visible to anyone interested so you very reluctantly pulled back. And looked up to see Jason Avercedes himself approaching. Jason nodded to you and Yoongi and then sat down at the other side of the table.
"Hey (Y/N), Mr. Min. Sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner, this whole production has been screwy all damn day." Jason paused to chug his coffee before continuing. "I can't figure out how they were working the call schedule, so it'll probably be a bit screwy tomorrow too but I did manage to confirm we would have a new trailer hooked up and installed by 6am tomorrow and I think you'll need to be on set by 7, so if you'd like to swing by a bit earlier we can get that walk through completed. (Y/N) Kyle should have left your new credentials with Gary so you're clear to hand yours back to their owner," Jason smirked.
You knew your cheeks were red, but Yoongi held Jason's gaze until Jason looked away and reached for his coffee again. Yoongi squeezed your hand under the table.
"Mr. Avercedes, are you saying I am done for today?" Yoongi asked cautiously, certainly not daring to hope after the day you'd all had.
Jason finished his gulp of coffee and nodded.
"Yea, I can't figure out their schedule and you've been here nearly as long as I have Mr. Min. If they ask, I'll tell them you had another appointment and we'll deal with it in the morning." Jason paused to look at his watch, winced, and started to stand up from the table.
"I've got to keep moving, Derek and I will probably be here another hour or two but then I think we're going to shut down. Derek finally got a hold of someone who can explain how the heating system in this damn building works, so hopefully it won't be a frozen iceberg tomorrow."
You all three agreed that would be most welcome and then Jason waved and took off. You and Yoongi stared at each other in relief and started to stand up as well. You glanced at your phone and saw it was just coming up on 8:15pm, so not quite the 9PM originally guessed, but darn close. It would be midnight before you got home and you weren't terribly excited about being back at six something.
Yoongi shouldered his pack and you reached in yours to grab your keys. You walked together towards the security shack and poked your head in for a second to talk to Gary and grab your new credentials. As you started walking towards the parking lot again, you showed them to Yoongi.
"(Y/N) (L/N), First Assistant to Min Yunki," read Yoongi. "I like the sound of that."
You nodded.
"Me too."
