"I don't care about whose DNA has recombined with whose. When everything goes to hell, the people who stand by you without flinching, they are your family"  

~Jim Butcher

My life is going smoothly...smooth like butter. It's been two weeks after I joined 'Dance and style ballet academy' and got to know that Jungkook has also joined the same academy at the same time. We have been regular to our classes; didn't miss even  a single class. It is fun to dance with Kookie...he is very free and doesn't feels awkward at all while dancing with me. We have learnt more of ballet...more steps, more moves, more grace, more perfection....more of everything. I have to say that dance is bringing us closer; even more than we already were before. Now, we are always full of gossips to share with each other. Whenever we meet we burst our bubble of stories. It is not that hard to concentrate on ballet while staring deep in his eyes; in fact it makes the movements easier. But I am still not used to his touch which is becoming more and more frequent as we proceed towards the competition since, it's couple ballet, his touch still sends an electric charge in my body...spreads warmth inside me through that little touch; I love that little intimacy of ours. A smile touches my lips whenever I think of that, like now....  There are a few girls who don't like me and the reason is obvious; thankfully Kookie doesn't pays any attention to them. But there are some other girls who like me and talk nicely to me. They are very friendly and help me a lot. Our music teacher has also been very nice to us since the beginning. She keeps on encouraging us even when we don't do a few moves perfectly. She once said that we have a big chance to go for the WBC... that is the greatest compliment for me and Kookie till date....

"What are you thinking so much about?" Jungkook asked me pulling me out of my reverie. 

"Nothing" 

"Daydreaming about this handsome man?" he raised his eyebrows pointing at himself. He was flirting openly with me...so unfair...

"No... and you are not allowed to flirt with me like that" 

"Oh no!!!" he said dramatically putting his hand on his chest like he's having a heart attack. I laughed to that... sometimes he is just so extra....

"Keep your eyes on the road Kookie" 

We are going to BTS' dorm after our ballet classes, since, I didn't meet the hyungs for a long time. They called me over and I was literally dancing after hearing that. So, here we sit inside the car while Jungkook is driving to their dorm. It's already late...I don't know how I'll return back home... let's leave it for now. I want to enjoy with the hyungs. I've been missing them a lot...

As we reached the dorm after an almost peaceful ride. I entered their living room and saw six men sitting on the couches filling the whole room just with their presence... their faces were pale... they looked sad...almost like someone close of their's has died. I took my jacket off since, it was warm inside.

"Hyungs...why are you all so sad?" I asked to all of them sitting next to Hobi hyung. They looked at me and all of a sudden their faces lit up...like it's Christmas. Woah~ sudden change in mood... but I like it...it's depressing to see them like that...

"Noor!!!" All of them shouted at once, that resulted in me, covering my ears from getting damaged. 

"Finally our dear Noor is here" Jin hyung gave me a warm hug while saying that.

"Ah~ we missed you so much Noor" Taehyung said.

"I too missed all of you so badly" 

"Where's our Jungkookie?" RM hyung asked me looking around.

"Oh~ he just went to his room" 

"Now that Noor is here, let's have fun" Jimin said almost in a mood for party.

"Jiminie we are not partying" Sugar hyung said in a no-emotion tone. All of us laughed to his comment. Jungkook joined us on the couch soon after changing into a white button-down shirt; his sleeves were rolled up to his elbow. Jungkook looked fresh like the morning dew in that white shirt, the veins on his hands were on full show. Ah~ how can someone be perfect like him...from the beginning I've heard there's no man in the universe who's perfect, everyone has some flaws...that proves that he's not a human..Ha!...right! that proves, he's an angel. Wow~ you are a genius Noor!!! 

"How are your ballet classes going? It seems Kookie is concentrating hard..." Jimin started... "What could be the reason... Jungkookie?" he had a evil smirk on his face... I couldn't understand what he wanted to say..it's normal for Kookie to concentrate on ballet...why would he not know the reason? And what's with that smirk? Ah~ I have no idea.

"Hyung... I just like ballet... you know that" Jungkook said in a stern voice like giving a warning to Jiminie. What's just going on here? I can't understand even a bit of it....

"Jimin stop it...!!!" RM hyung said.

"We are doing just fine. I hope we can make it to World Ballet Championship. Our teacher is really very supportive" I told them, finally getting a chance.

"I believe both of you will make it" Sugar hyung encouraged us, I smiled to him fondly. 

"When is the competition?" Jin hyungie asked us.

"After 2 months.. we need to practice a lot" Kookie told them. I just nodded at the last part. We actually need to practice a lot because the teacher expects us for the competition...we want to stand up to her expectations.

"Why don't you show us some basics of ballet; of whatever you have learnt till now" Jiminie said. I was left speechless, it would be embarrassing for me to dance in front of the hyungs with such a short distance between me and Kookie.

"Right. Go for it..." Tae supported Jimin as well. 

"Uh...I..." before I could refuse, Hobi hyung pulled my hand and dragged me to the center of the room. Jungkook was also pulled by Hobi hyung to stand beside me. We just stood there beside each other not knowing what to do. I kept staring at the floor. Suddenly staring at the floor became an interesting thing.

"What? We haven't told both of you to just stand there...come on...show us. We can't wait to  watch or kids dance together" it was Jin hyung. I don't know when did I become his 'Kid' but I was touched with that little word. It showed how much they exactly think of me as their own family.

I saw someone's palm extending towards me... a pale palm with a soft pink touch. I looked up at Kookie only to notice him smiling down at me...asking me to have a dance with him. I let my hand get tangled with his, looking straight into his eyes...almost forgetting that we are in a room full of 6 pairs of eyes focused on us.

He folded me in his embrace and we started moving with the soft-melodic music playing in the background. His warm hands were resting comfortably on my waist, the warmth of his soft hands spreading in my body...making me forget the world...that we are so close...in front of the hyungs...

Our bodies kept moving with the rhythm of the song... we danced to the song and I was quite enjoying it. It was like we were practicing ballet in the studio, it didn't felt anything different from that. He lifted me in the air, holding my waist firmly to ensure that I don't fall down...we have gained expertise in this...after practicing so much. While he made a curve with my body in the air, I artfully moved with his moves. There are a few other times he has to lift me in the air, I quite enjoy the air-ride provided to me by Kookie. I completely forgot that the hyungs are also here...staring at us in awe. After we finished our little performance, we bowed to them and stood straight. As I came back to reality, all of a sudden I was feeling shy....heat creeping to my cheeks as well as my neck... I am sure I've turned into a cherry...and that reminds me of Nishi...it's been a long time....I miss my family...my little crazy family. 

"Woah~ that was so good" Jimin appreciated our dance and started clapping his hands in joy as if he is amazed to see the animals pull out stunts in a circus and he's a little boy watching that.

"Really Amazing" Tae and Jin hyung said almost together. All of them were clapping and cheering for us.

"I am sure both of you are going to win the competition as far as you are together" Sugar hyung said....that's a much greater compliment. I pray that his words can turn into reality.

"Thank you" Both of us bowed and thanked the hyungs. Kookie looked at me and gave me a satisfied and proud smile. I returned back his smile.

We returned back to our respective seats which felt like we were sitting at north pole and south pole respectively. It was such a long distance for me.

We started talking through things...making jokes and sharing how our time was...and of course how we missed each other. By their words...they missed me very much...and that, I knew when I saw their faces after first entering this room. It was difficult for me too...to stay away from this lovely and sweet family. But Kookie was with me..so he made it easier for me. He took good care of me all this while. Everyday he dropped me to my house....not missed even a single day.

Me and Jin hyung cooked dinner while the others were chattering loudly. The dinner was tasty, I have to say Jin hyung is really good at this. All of us enjoyed the dinner and of course they were teasing, playing and bickering each  other...they are never going to grow up....even after becoming such idols....even I don't want them to grow up...they are better this way. 

"I think I should get going" I brought their attention to me... "It's already so late"

"What are you talking about? Aren't you going to stay with us tonight?" Jin hyung asked me...he looked shocked....for some reason.

"Well...I am not. Who told you so?" 

"Ah~ please don't do this. It's just for a night. After such a long time we spent some time together. You can't leave us just yet" Hobi hyung said making a sad face.

"Hyung,  try to understand....I have my library shifts tomorrow"

"So...you can leave for your shifts from here" Tae said still trying to convince me.

"I could've done that..but I don't have my uniform here...I promise I'll come back here soon... Just let me go for today. I'll stay the next time" even I didn't want to go...but I had shifts and I can't miss them...since, I have to depend on the library for earning a living.

"She's right... she has a responsibility. Jungkook drop her home" Rapmon hyung...thank god ....someone at least understood me and my responsibilities. 

I bid good bye to the hyungs and bowed to them. I was feeling really bad to leave them like that...in despair....their faces showed so much disappointment... it hurts to see them like that but I have no choice. I'll try coming here more frequently.

In the car both of us were silent. No words were exchanged. I felt as if I am empty... I don't want to go back home...I'll be alone there...no hyungs...no Jungkook...no friends...no one...just me and my creeping silence.

"Noor...." I looked at the driver's seat after the soft voice brought me back to this wold but I didn't find Kookie, instead I found him holding the door open for me, leaning towards me. We are here already? Why? I don't want to go.

"Umm... sorry...I didn't notice" I said bowing down my head...I felt like crying loudly....

"It's okay...I know it's melancholic for you and believe me...even I don't feel good about that...even when I know we'll meet tomorrow at the studio" I nodded and moved out of the car. We walked to my door... I invited him in...he was thirsty and wanted to grab a glass of water...so, he accepted my invitation and settled on the couch as I went to the kitchen to grab two glasses of water.

I was looking through the shelves to take something as a snack....it's rude to just give a simple glass of water... Ah~ found it...these cookies will do...I made these recently but didn't get enough time to eat them...perfect for now...I took out a few cookies on a plate and took both the glasses of water with me. I walked in and found Kookie smiling sheepishly at me.... suddenly I noticed something.... blood??? 

"Jungkook...." I looked at him asking for an explanation....I was just so shocked to say anything else. His right hand was full of blood...it makes me sick....seeing so much blood from his hand...it's unbearable...

"Uh actually....I broke your flower vase accidentally and was picking up the little pieces of glass. While I was picking the other pieces the big piece of glass which I previously kept on the table fell on my hand and... well, it's nothing...just a little wound....it doesn't hurts much...." that boy is still smiling....how dare he? A tear welled up in my eyes. 

"Are you crazy? You could've just told me...I would've cleaned it...why were you doing that?" I was so mad at him for being careless that I started scolding him.... "This seems so deep... You are so gone...Jeon Jungkook. Come with me" I took him to the basin to wash his hand... I felt so angry on him...how can someone be so careless??? I brought my first aid box and after cleaning his cut...which was long enough, I covered it neatly after applying an antiseptic with a bandage. 

"Are you still mad at me? I am sorry" Jungkook tried looking at me as I was kneeling down before him and he sat on the couch. 

"I am sorry Kookie...I didn't want to yell at you like that...I was just frightened....I was worried about you...there was so much blood" I said apologetically...I really didn't mean to yell at the person I love the most...

"Hey~ you don't have to say sorry for that...I know you did that because you care for me. Well, I don't mind you yelling at me and the fact that it made me feel like a careless little child which is rare since, it's my hyungs who keep doing childish things, it is a new feeling and a new experience. It shows how much you care for me and actually I was amazed" he lifted my chin up with his safe-and-sound hand and his words just melted in my ears...Just his words calmed me down and I felt better.

"Thanks Kookie..it makes me feel better. Are you feeling better too...?" I pointed at his wound.

"Yes...it's better now. Thank you for taking care of me. I know the blood was making you uncomfortable...even then you did so much for me" 

"Hmm...it makes me uncomfortable....I hate blood and violence...that's the reason....I can't bear seeing blood and wounds...I don't know how I managed to do it now. You should've been careful... seeing you like that...I just lost my mind..."

"I don't need to take care of myself when you are with me....isn't it?" his statement caused me to look at him in his brown eyes...they are so sincere....so truthful....

"Right....I'll take better care of you from now on" I finally smiled at him....and that made his grin even bigger.

"I should leave now...the hyungs will be worrying" 

"You can't drive like that....Kookie you should stay here with me tonight. I can't let you go with such serious wound" 

"Noor... it's fine...I feel better. I can drive. Don't worry so much"

"No Kookie I am not letting you drive with that wound. I know you are very strong and you have the strength of thousands of lions but for once in your life...just listen to me and stay with me tonight...you may leave tomorrow. I'll talk to the hyungs"

Saying that I grabbed my phone and called Jimin. I told him what happened here. He was worried about Kookie. I told him not to worry and that he's fine now...at least better than before. He talked to the other hyungs and all of them agreed that he should stay with me tonight. Jungkook couldn't deny their words and had to oblige them. I smiled in victory after hanging up.

"You gotta stay here. No more options; no negotiations" 

"Okay Ma'am" I felt so powerful all of a sudden. It's because he is listening to me...silly me is back....welcome back silly me...I was kinda missing you.

I prepared cups of hot chocolate for Kookie as well as me and joined him on the couch. Both of us have showered and were feeling fresh now.... don't get your imagination on fire yet...we didn't shower together but separately...'one by one'...

"Here...drink this. You'll feel good" I said handing him the cup.

"I am already feeling good" I glared at him and he silently sipped on hot chocolate. 

"Is this a revenge?" he asked me all of a sudden and I was just going to spill my precious hot chocolate but fortunately I stopped myself in time.

"Revenge? Why would I take a revenge on you?" 

"You remember that day..we went on a date...after I dropped you home you invited me for hot chocolate but I couldn't join you??? So, today you would've made me stay to take a revenge for that" after processing what he said, I started laughing out loud...it was too funny. A revenge for hot chocolate? Ah~ my tummy...it hurts....I think I've never laughed so hard in my life.

"What's so funny?" he faked a frown at me. I think he was amused to see me laugh so hard. But it couldn't control my laugh.

"You're so childish" I said between my chuckles.... "Do you really think I am taking a revenge on you for not joining me for hot chocolate? Well....if you are thinking so then the answer is 'No'. Happy now?" I was finally able to control my laughter. 

"I just thought" he said pouting cutely like a little boy...the boy who used to come in my dreams...who didn't visit me since long....in those lavender fields....I am missing that boy all of a sudden. It was like he's playing peek-a-boo with me.... 'Peek-a-boo....I see you'.....

"Mmm....it was tasty. Thank you" Kookie said after finishing his cup which brought me back to reality. 

I took the cup from his hands and was about to go to the kitchen but Kookie held my wrist causing me to stop and look back at him. My heart beat took up a faster pace. I gave him a questioning look. He took the cups from me and placed them on the table. He faced me again and came closer to me.... I just stood dumbfounded there...feeling every little graceful movement of his. My skin felt something warm...oh~ it was his hand which was resting on my waist... spreading warmth and maybe a bit of love? His hands slowly moved a little towards my upper back....just a bit above my waist...near my spine...during the whole process I was getting goosebumps, feeling every little trace of the touch he left over that little area. He looked at my eyes.... his pupils were strange today...I've never seen them like that....the light brown color of his eyes were not the way they were usually.... I know this phenomenon...I've read about this....I can't just put my finger on it.

"Noor....thanks for being such a caring friend. I...."......

"Don't ever want to loose you" Kookie finally said after all that while of giving me a hard time...I was thinking so hard. 

While I had my head low...smiling at the floor.... His warm and soft lips...full of moisture...came in contact with my forehead. When I realized that...I closed my eyes to feel the moment with every fine detail... but unfortunately it didn't last long.....not at least for me. Anyway....I am happy...these moments come once in a million times.

He removed his hand from my waist letting the coldness set to my skin again. We got into the bed with a huge pillow in between us....since, the couch was too small to sleep even for me let alone Kookie. We wished each other good night and slept soundly.

I met the boy of my dreams again today, the sun was shining bright, so were his eyes...his light brown eyes full of love and warmth. He was running in the fields in between the violet fresh lavenders with the touch of morning dew. I caught him and he stopped after seeing me and gave me a bright smile....brighter than the sun shining high above us. He put his hands around my neck and gave me a warm hug. His small hands on my back. I hugged him tighter not to let him go this time... he smelt like fresh lavenders...even better than them...he had his own scent mixed with those of the sweet lavenders....

Author's Note:

Hello dear readers....how are you doing? So, here we are, I don't know at which chapter...but after 2 weeks....yeah....a long skip...it could've got boring...and my story is long way from ending... so, I thought of skipping some time because It'll be too long if I keep on describing her everyday life. It's better like this. 

Hmm...Noor and Jungkook danced in front of the hyungs...we can call it a performance. I believe if they could pull it in front of the hyungs then they can also do it in front of the huge crowd of World Ballet Championship. Are you excited for it? What do you think, will they win it...ah~ wait will they be chosen to be sent for World Ballet Championship even? 

Our little Kookie is so careless about himself and that caused Noor to freak out and he got scolded from Noor. That was really funny for me. It's funny even to imagine it. Our Muscle Kook being scolded by a girl....uh..not any other girl....by Noor who is Kookie's best friend.

Well, I don't watch Kdrama but I am sure my friends will call it a Kdrama moment...so yes...there comes a Kdrama moment and I am quite satisfied with it. Hope you too like that part.

I hope you liked this update .

Happy Reading.
