Chapter 10 - 잠자기 (JAM-JA-GI)[Sleepover]

Jungkook P.O.V

Roxi is really nice. No wonder I am more open around her, it isn't often I can call someone 'noona' without them becoming flustered or flattered. This must be how the others feel towards girls, this bubbly feeling that just makes someone even happier than they were before. I put on the clothes she lended me, it surprised me that they could fit. But the shirt was a bit tight I'll admit. I towel dried my hair and looked at the mirror while I brushed my teeth with a few toiletries I found in the drawers.

'I hope she won't judge my bare face.'

 I head out of the bathroom after cleaning it up and walked through her room, resisting the urge to snoop just like any other curious person.

"So what do you want to do noo-"I start, shutting up when I saw her laying on the couch.

'Was she sleeping?'

The brown hair that covered her face made it difficult to tell. I sat a few feet away from her on the couch, wondering if I should wake her up or let her sleep.

'What would we do if I woke her up? What would I do if I didn't?'

A soft groan left her lips just as her phone vibrated on the table. Roxi's head turned just enough to show her closed eyes and relaxed expression. My eyes shifted from her face to her phone a few times. Before finally deciding to check her phone.

'It might be important.'

I turned it on, she didn't even have a password.

'Well isn't this convenient.'

I only looked at her recent messages, a bad feeling sinking into my gut as I tried to force myself to think this wasn't snooping. I was just worried, yeah, that was all. Her latest messages were from Suga-hyung or her manager. But as I looked through her unread messages there were some from people I do not know of. Of course that wouldn't be much of a surprise. There was one from 'Unnie <3'.

I turned off her phone and placed it back on the coffee table. Roxi's eyes opened just as I settled back into my seat and she rubbed her eyes before sitting straight up.

"Sorry, I just dozed off for a second there."she whispers."So want to watch a drama or something?"

"I'm not into dramas as much as Tae-hyung..."

"So what'cha wanna do?"

Roxi P.O.V

Now he decides to be quiet. I check through the notifications on my phone and text Yoongi back with a response.

In just  few seconds he texted back with chill response.

I put my phone back down and looked to Jungkook who seemed a bit uneasy.

"Do you just want to talk?"I ask, smiling slightly when I see him nod."So, do you have any tips for someone who's about to debut?"

"Well, you have to stick to your concept for a while. Then you just have to do whatever your manager says for a while too. Trust me BigHit's managers know how to get people interested."he chuckles."What are you going to do after your debut?"

"My friend just asked me if I wanted to go on tour with her...but...I don't think I'll go. I won't be as known and I would rather focus on my own music for a while and have my own tour."I say, seeing his eyes widen in surprise."What? Do you think I did the wrong thing?"

"No do whatever you want. I...just didn't take you for being the ambitious type of person."he blushes."No offense."

"None taken."I smile meekly."You guys are heading on your 'Wings' tour soon right? How's that going?"

"We haven't thought about that for a while since we still have some thoughts on where to go."he mumbles."If your debut goes well I hope you'll be able to join us..."

"Really? You'd want me to come with you guys on tour?"I ask, smirking at his reddened face."I'll think about it Kookie."

"Cool. I forgot to ask, what's your concept anyway?"he switches subjects less smoothly than he would've liked, considering his bright red ears.

"My manager told me to go for a four dimensional concept, where I can be cute and sexy depending on some parts."I sigh, remembering I was supposed to shoot my first MV tomorrow."I have no idea what they're planning for my MV though. I bet it's something insane."

"I can't wait to see it."

"So what do you want to do?"I ask, wondering if we should just go to bed and get some sleep like any other normal person who suffered from sleep deprivation.

"...Can we talk about something?"he asks, suddenly creating a somber mood.

"Depends, what do you want to talk about?"I say cheekily, quickly returning to a serious expression once I saw his own.

"You and Lim-noona..."he starts."Do you know each other well?"

"I've known her for a while yeah. Well...I mean longer than I've known you guys. Why do you ask?"

"I just wanted to clarify something. She moved to JYP a few months ago right?"he adds, I nod knowingly as a response."You aren't planning on leaving BigHit too are you?"

I look straight at him, trying to find even a single hint of a joke. Everything about Jungkook at the moment only showed utmost seriousness. His furrowed eyebrows, straight face, and sudden eye contact surprised me. If anything, I would've laughed and called him an idiot for thinking I would leave this company, instead I blended with the atmosphere and gave him a straight answer.

"No, I'm not planning on leaving this company any time soon."seeing him relax as I went on."I'm grateful for even making it into entertainment in the first place. I'm planning to make the best of it and the most of it. Unless I get caught in some sort of scandal, I'll be fighting for my career here in BigHit. No need to worry."

"Thank god."he gasps, rubbing his face and covering his eyes."I don't plan on leaving either."

A moment of silence came right after, but this time the silence of comfortable. I could hear the other member's muffled yelling through the thin walls and the two of us tried to contain our childhood snickering whenever we heard something funny.

Kai lept onto my lap and cuddled into my shirt, much to my dismay.

"Did you adopt them?"asked Jungkook, running his hand through Kai's fur as the tired puppy fell asleep right there on my lap.

'The other four must already be in bed.'

"No they were farewell gifts from my uncle. I won't be able to visit him, because of our schedules. So, he gave me these five rascals to keep me company."I chuckle.

"Does your uncle live here in Seoul?"

"Yeah...I should be glad that I'm so near him but it just hurts sometimes...knowing that he's so close but so far away from me each day."

"..."

His arm smoothly wrapped over my shoulders, pulling me into a friendly side hug. I small giggle left my mouth as my inner ARMY started to show, but I held in my outbursts with a small blush.

"I thought you were shy around girls."I pout."You seem so awkward on camera whenever you're around female idols."

"It's because they're my noonas. I won't get shy if I'm older than the girl."he explains."But you're a cool noona, so I need to try being just as cool."

"Alrighty. So...Kookie, since we're here, tell me more about you."

The clock ticked by and we got to know about each other more and more. I found out about his interests and ambitions, and he found out about mine. As we opened up to each other there was so much we could talk about. But sooner enough, fatigue started to persuade me to get some rest. I could tell by the way both our eyelids drooped every few seconds that it was time to get to bed. I clock struck two, if I go to sleep I would be able to get at least an hour of sleep before going out and helping Soba-san. I told Jungkook about that and gave him some blankets and a pillow so he could get comfortable on the couch, saying he would leave at around six to go to his dance practice room before breakfast. So I laid my head down on my bunk and got some shut eye before I needed to go through another hardworking and tough day.
