Her POV
A month passed in a flurry of activity and it was December. December fourth to be precise.
We had driven Jin out of the dorm.
Well not exactly drove him out since we asked Namjoon to make him record something and keep him away from the dorms. So it was me and five other men, furiously cooking for Jin.
After all those days of him cooking for us, I had been planning this for a while. And considering Namjoon is pretty useless in the kitchen even though I've started teaching him things, it was the only natural thing to do.
We set about making a grand meal, Yoongi and I being incharge, instructing everyone around us, Jungkook furiously chopping, Hobi stirring various pots and slapping Taehyung's hands whenever he went to close to the chocolate cake and frosting I had made.
We were soon at our wits end though, Yoongi and I, and we decided for the sake of our sanity that it would be better if we worked alone. So, we sent the guys out to decorate instead.
We worked in silence, like a well oiled machine, finishing the cooking pretty quickly.
"We make a good team!" He says as he flashes me a gummy smile, raising his hand for a high five
"Yes. Yes we do!" I say while grinning.
We collapse on the couch while Jungkook, Hoseok and Jimin set the table under Taehyung's watchful eyes.
It's comfortable. The silence between us. Even though there's a ruckus in the background.
"You're pretty amazing, you know that right?" Yoongi says with a smile, breaking the silence
What-
What what what
How do I react to this
I feel my cheeks heat up as I stutter out a thank you which makes him laugh
"Yah! Why are you nervous? I'm just stating facts. You can do basically everything and you're competent at your job. Beyond competent in fact. That stage was beautiful."
"Thank you Yoongi- I- umm... Where is this coming from---Wait did I say that out loud- oh my god" I give up and drop my head in my hands, which makes him laugh even harder
"Ahh I just felt like letting you know. I haven't told you this before so I just thought I might as well let you know, lest it remains unsaid" he says with a smile
"Well... If it's that, I um thank you. Thank you for that... And I would like to tell you something too-"
He leans forward on his seat
"Um- thank you. Thank you for what you do and who you are. You're pretty fricking amazing, and I hope you know that and remember that every single day"
It's his turn to get flustered as he smiles and says a "what are you even talking about I'm nothing special-" as he waves his hand and sits back in his chair
"Oh Min Yoongi, I bet at least a couple million people would say otherwise" I say with a smile on my face.
"Oh what is going on here???" Hobi says as he comes and sits next to me
"Nothing much... Are y'all done with the setting up??"
"Taehyung said my job was done so I'm here. Oh! Namjoon messaged me and told me they're on their way back-" he says as he gets up and announces this to Tae in the dining room.
Yoongi gets up and brings us cans of cola, Hobi yelling after him about spoiling his appetite before dinner.
"I know I was your bias, you know?"
I choke on my drink, nearly spitting it out, which leads to a coughing fit so bad, he has to get up and pat my back, all while laughing uncontrollably.
"What makes you think that?" I say once I am done, hoping my cheeks aren't as red as they feel
"Oh come on Ayanna! After that reaction??!!" He says as he laughs again pointing at my face. Having no response I take another sip of my drink
"I must say, your portraits of me are beautiful"
This time the coughing gets so bad that Hobi comes from the kitchen and pats my back too, Jungkook getting me a glass of water.
"Oh Ayanna I was just teasing but I wish I had this on tape!" Yoongi says as he wiped tears from his eyes
"What did you do now, hyung??" Jungkook
"Oh I- I confronted her about me being her bias and-" he starts laughing again, unable to continue
"Aish hyung! Why would you do that?" Jimin says with a laugh.
All of them seem to be holding in their laughter
"Yah! This isn't funny!!" I insist, wiping the tears from my eyes.
But before anybody can say anything, Hobi's phone rings and we scramble to hide in various spots around the entrance and behind furniture with confetti.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" we yell as Seokjin enters the house, who pretends to be surprised, claiming he knew something was up the entire time, his ears turning a bright shade of scarlet as he talked.
.....
"She was coughing so hard all of you had to help her??" Jin says as he's laughing , Namjoon trying very hard to not laugh under my glare
"I wish I had got it on tape!" Yoongi says, banging the table with his fist. "What a wasted opportunity!"
We're all at the dining table, Jin constantly thanking us and complimenting the food.
Namjoon breaks and starts to giggle and I shove him slightly which stops him from laughing.
"Hyung! Why would you do that to her!?" He says as he dramatically pulls me closer, which makes me laugh
"I had to do it one day or the other-" he says with a shrug
"NO YOU DIDN'T" I say, trying to be serious but failing miserably
It oddly felt good that it was finally put out in the open. And that nobody seemed phased by it, not even Yoongi.
Maybe this wasn't so bad after all.
Jin cuts into the chocolate cake amidst cheers and everyone loves it
Mwahahahahahahahaha
"So this is the famous chocolate cake? I get why Namjoon fell for you" Jin says between bites
I elbow Namjoon this time. "You don't have to tell them everything!"
He laughs it off as he assures me that he hasn't told them everything to which I just narrow my eyes at him, making everyone laugh harder.
When it comes to gifts, I give Jin a couple of outfits for RJ I sewed that match with outfits he has.
"Now the both of us can match! Ahh Ayanna these are perfect! Thank you!" He says as he pulls me in for a hug
......
"We're going to New York again this year, for new year's..." Namjoon says as I wrap up my day's work on my laptop
My heart dropped. But I steeled myself before saying
"Oh that's so cool! Have fun!" I say as I close my laptop, giving him an encouraging grin, because he seemed reluctant
I didn't want to come in the way of his life in any way.
"But I wanted to spend New year's with you! And we won't be here for Taehyung's birthday too and I don't think that has hit him just yet but I'm pretty sure he wants to celebrate it with you there too!"
"Ahh Joonie ,we will have plenty more New Years with each other anyway, it's not that big of a deal" I say as I wave it off
"No! It's a big deal! And so, I have decided, you're coming."
"What?! No! Namjoon you know what we had decided about not being seen together when you go around for work. It's unprofessional and-"
"I don't care about unprofessional. I want to spend my days with you and if someone has a problem with that, so be it! People always have problems with anything we do anyway-" he says as he comes closer and wraps an arm around me, his face inches away from mine.
"Ahh but these people are going to be your fans-"
"My true fans will have no problem. So don't worry about it... We're gonna watch the ball drop in Times Square, together and that's final"
"Oh no no no Namjoon, no no, I can't be on live television with you, no no no"
"Why not?"
"I don't know. But I don't think anything good is going to come out of this-"
"Hush Jagiya- we're going to be just fine. I've spoken to all the required people and since it's already public, why can't I spend New year's with my girlfriend?? Plus we'll be touring shortly after and I can't be with you then...so you're coming along, okay?"
"Joonie I-"
"Shush. Is there anything else bothering you, other than the fact that we will be on live television?"
"What in the world am I going to wear to be presentable to be seen with you?"
"Oh my god woman! We could always ask the stylists to style you for the day! And to be honest you could walk with me in pajamas and you'd still look too good for me-"
I roll my eyes at that "you're biased at this point, you're not allowed to have an opinion-"
"Oh! You want to go there with your reasoning? A bias? Is that so bad? Does it affect your judgement??"
"Oh my god Namjoon don't do that please. Don't remind me.... FINE! Okay! I'll go! Sure! Okay! Just- let's forget about that."
"Never~ ahh I wish I could've seen that" he says as he laughs
I hit his head with a pillow.
"Yah!" He yells before grabbing his own, me jumping off the bed before he actually has a chance to return the blow.
He chases me around the room as the both of us laugh our heads off, listing out all the stupid things we've done, me jumping from the bed to the sofa lithely and him taking long strides to catch up.
"Wait! Time out!!" I say as I lean against the wall, out of breath from all the laughing and running
"Good call.." he says as he sits near me on the floor.
The both of us give up trying to sit up and lie down on the floor instead, hearts beating ridiculously fast, faces flushed red, breathing rapid.
We look at each other and grin like complete idiots, trying to catch our breaths.
Fucking hell I loved this man so much, my heart hurt.
.....
"You guys were loud last night" Jin says as he pours himself a cup of coffee, raising an eyebrow at Namjoon and I as we eat our breakfast.
"Judging by the various curses and stories we heard, I'm guess it was a pillow fight" Yoongi says as he sips his coffee, causing me to look at him with wide eyes
"That, and the fact that this morning when I opened the door slightly there was a considerable amount of feathers. Unless the both of you skinned a goose in there, I don't see any other explanation- please don't tell me you have a goose in there somewhere" he continues.
"Hyung you had a pillow fight?! Who won???" Jimin asks
"To be honest, the both of us lost-" he says while laughing, which makes me laugh too
"Oh Ayanna! Are you coming with us to New York?" Taehyung asks as he sits next to me
"Looks like it"
He gives me a high five with a grin "yay!"
.....
I hand manager-nim all my documents for the processing and Namjoon and I go to the stylist noonas to break the news. The squeal at the prospect of dressing me up, which makes me slightly worried.
"Oh don't worry about it... We won't dress you up on anything uncomfortable." They assure me when they spot the doubt on my face.
....
That evening, I come home to my apartment alone and begin to work on Taehyung's present. I was planning on painting one of his photographs he had shown me , along the style of Vincent Van Gogh.
I was being ambitious but It wouldn't hurt to try would it?
But I realized I wouldn't be able to hide it from him since we would be travelling.
And it didn't really make sense to carry it all the way to America and bring it back.
So I decide to give it to him on 29th instead. He won't expect it either!
Perfect
Namjoon's POV
"Hyung... When is Ayanna's birthday?" Jungkook asks as we sit down on a break, his hand reaching to touch the painting on his camera bag that Ayanna had gifted shortly after Jin's birthday.
"Its in late May. So it'll be after our tour too"
"We have to do something for her, since she always manages to do something special for us." Jimin says from the couch "do you have any ideas? Anything she has mentioned before
Anything she has mentioned before huh?
My mind wanders to that drunken rant she went on in Malmö
"Well there's one thing we could do..." I say with a smirk "How well do y'all remember Airplane PT 2?"
They all look at me in confusion.
