We On

Why'd you do it?
I just wanted to...

"Is she alright?" Sora asked as she and Soo-Ah helped a very sleepy Mishil down the hallway into the makeup rooms. "Yeah, just sleep-deprived." Soo-Ah nodded, letting out a breathy laugh.
"Glad you clarified that. Otherwise, I was thinking whatnot," Sora grimaced as she shook her head at the absurd thoughts she had.

It was a little past 4 o clock in the morning, and one thing you must know about Mishil is that; she is NOT a morning person!

She might have to wake up really early given the fact that TXT started their days at 6 sharp and as their assistant manager, she had to be at the Big Hit building by 5:30 and get everything ready for the boys to have a smooth day.
And when does she wake up? 5 am on the dot. 30 minutes might not be enough time but to Mishil, that's more than enough.

The wake-up time being  90 minutes before she usually woke up did not help with the fact that she was up tossing and turning half the night.
She was gonna make her first public appearance with her boyfriend, so her getting a good night's sleep would be helpful, it wasn't expected since it's Mishil.

The night was spent pretty much sleepless, all thanks to the nerves and when finally she got a lick of sleep, she was awakened by Soo-Ah gently shaking her shoulders.
And she would at least grumble at her, had she not noticed the extremely apologetic look etched on Soo-Ah's face.
And while Mishil loved her sleep, she loved her best friend more. So, she just dragged herself to the bathroom to take a shower, while praying that a shower would miraculously wipe the sleepiness off.

But it didn't. She could barely walk straight which led Sora and Soo-Ah to help her to the makeup rooms to get ready. 
Sora pushed the door open while steadying Mishil with one hand, walking inside the brightly lit room where Mi Eun and the other staff were laying out their makeup brushes and other tools while the stylists were doing last checks on the clothes for the boys. Everyone had their sleepy eyes and half-awake stances which somehow comforted Mishil. It was nice to know that you aren't the only one on the verge of falling asleep everywhere and anywhere,

Airport entrances weren't a big deal for Bangtan; most of the time the members walk down the airport in their clothes.
But this one was special and needed preparations, which explained the early start.

"Do you want coffee?" Soo-Ah bent down to her level, speaking softly. It hurt to watch her usually cheery best friend now dragging herself, eyes barely open.
"That would help," Mishil said, leaning back on the chair, as Mi Eun got ready for her. Soo-Ah 
passed a soft smile before walking towards the door. Just as she reached for the door, it swung open revealing Namjoon with dark bags under his eyes with Jimin and Hoseok in tow.

"Sorry, did I hurt you?" Namjoon looked up, offering a weak, apologetic smile to Soo-Ah.
"No, you didn't but-" He knew what Soo-Ah was going to ask. 
"No, I couldn't sleep last night..." He said, suppressing a yawn.

"Well, that makes the two of them," Sora remarked, shaking her head. "Mishil too?" Hoseok as he took a seat in front of the mirror.
Sora just tilted her head towards Mishil sitting on the couch, feeling rather sorry for the younger. She looked up to offer the boys a weak smile, but anyone with a pulse could see how nervous she was. The poor girl looked like she was being weighed down with stress. 

Namjoon exhaled rather loudly before trudging towards his girlfriend, seating himself beside her.
As though an automatic response, Mishil reached for his hand, lacing their fingers together. 
Their eyes opened a little more like they were finally getting around to waking up. The golden soulmate energy coursed through their bodies, which felt like getting sunlight after being indoors for way too long.
"Feel better?" Namjoon asked, his deep morning voice sending shivers down Mishil's body. It felt like the blazing ray of sunlight illuminating a dark, cold room for the first time in a while.
Keeping her eyes didn't feel like a struggle anymore for Mishil, as she turned to offer him a tiny smile and a nod.
"Finally!" Mi Eun cheered, earning collective chuckles from everyone around the room. "Yay soulmate energy!"

"I know right," Soo-Ah smiled, endeared by the sight of the soulmates. "Which reminds me, I better get coffee 'cause we could really use some caffeine." She grabbed her wallet before reaching for the door. 
"I'll come with you," Jimin jumped up, speaking a bit too loudly. "Jimin-ah, shush!" Namjoon drawled, the sleepiness still evident in their voice.

"You sure?" Soo-Ah asked, looking at Jimin, somewhat puzzled. "Yeah! I can wait for my turn. And you can't carry all the coffee yourself anyway." Jimin flashed Soo-Ah a dazzling smile that he usually saved for Mi Eun and Armys.
"Thanks, Jimin," Soo-Ah smiled as they walked out of the makeup room.

"What is he doing?" Sora asked, looking at Mi Eun who seemed overly interested in straightening the outfits.
"Whatever he is, as long as they don't cause trouble," Hoseok commented, not looking up from his phone as the stylist worked on his hair. Namjoon turned to his soulmate, who also had a knowing smile on her face, as she exchanged looks with Mi Eun, who didn't seem the slightest bit concerned about the fact that her soulmate was flirting with someone else.

What in the-

"Are you sure you're up for it?" Namjoon spoke into Mishil's hair, the other residents of the room ignoring the soulmates. "You can always walk with Sora Noona and the others."
"I want to show you off. I want everyone to know that I'm yours and I am not afraid to show that." She spoke softly, her dark hair concealing the blush that erupted on her cheeks. "That is if you want me to."

"Namjoon-ssi, I'm ready for you," His makeup artist called for him.  "Eunnie, get here." Mi Eun said, finally done with setting Mishil's outfit.

He looked up and offered her a small smile before looking back at Mishil. "Glad that you said that, baby." He patted her head. "Because all I want to do is show you off to the world."
Her eyes fell to the ground in an attempt to hide the rising colour on her cheeks.

"Ah, you both!" Mi Eun whined. "Flirt all you want at the airport, I'm pretty sure the reporters would love it. Now get here! Those dark circles aren't gonna hide magically. and the flight is in less than two hours." 

"Mi Eun, you're impossible!" Sora laughed, slapping the back of the younger girl's head. 

They smiled at each other, clearly endeared at the younger's bossiness before their fingers slipped separated and they got into preparations for the upcoming day.

A pretty busy one at that.

AND I HAVE OFFICIALLY MADE MY COMEBACK!!!

Hey, my dew drops! The last 4 months have sucked the absolute life out of me and I apologize for the unannounced break.
