"Wakie Wakie..." I imitated Felix's iconic line in Y/n's ears as her pilot gave an alert on the landing time.

Honestly, I have been a stay since 2018 and Felix's Aussie accent and that heavy voice, gives me chills. I had some what of a hollow sounding voice. I wouldn't call it exactly deep but quite airy and heavy.

Y/n turned her head and yawned. She scrunched her eyes below that kawai sleep mask thingy.

"Yah, don't sleep now. Wake up. You can rest at the hotel." I said.

"You have it really nice when you go to India, don't you? You don't have to check into any hotels." She pulled her sleep mask off and looked like a 'mandeuki'.

"Hehe, the same goes with you. You also sleep the whole day." I faked a laugh.

We had been in West Bengal, at my parents' place. March is some what like our annual get together when my niece gets promoted to the next class and has a rough 1 month vacation.

Juni takes a leave from work for atleast half a month to visit mum and dad. And Baban is bound to take the leave. My niece won't rest if she doesn't meet her, "thamm".

And since I have adopted Y/n many years back already, she tagged along with me almost every year.

And now we're heading to her birth place.

I had a talk with Namjoon over call and he said that this could be a great opportunity for them to work on their new song.

"Oh, that's a good plan." I squeaked at his plan from the window pavement of my room.

"I know right. I heard her history during that sun set. And I don't think her mother's husband will mind if they find out who she is."

"I mean, I hope so. You see, Korea is modern enough to have knowledge on who is and who isn't on the charts.

So... I have never seen her mum. Just heard her once when she rejected Y/n wanting to wish her half brother a birthday.

What if they know?"

"Does that matter? Maybe they do and she's just afraid." Namjoon never fails to prove himself right, and that's one of the many reasons why I can't get enough of him.

"You know what? We'll go there nevertheless. I don't care about the consequences. I know she misses her family life." I didn't know if I should smile at the feeling of my stomach being an enclosure to a million butterflies, or sigh for my adopted kid.

"We will. Everything's gonna be great. I'm the leader of the 7 pride of the nation." I chuckled at his boldness.

"It should be midnight there, right?" I said, checking the time on my screen. It was 9:00 PM IST and if my timing is correct, Doctor-nim should be waving at me from her gate in around 10 minutes.

It should be half past midnight in Korea and I wouldn't mind to be up as late as dawn id I needed to listen to Namjoon.

"It is. I am in the car, heading back to the dorm. I prepared for our meeting."

I couldn't keep the smile to myself. It was 9:10 and as always, Doctor-nim was waving at me from her gate. I waved back at her but he had captivated my attention, only for himself.

" I can't wait to meet you..." I whispered in a mellow tone.

"Hmm?"

"I... I can't wait to meet you all." I quickly changed my sentence to not make my longings for him, look obvious.

He laughed through the phone. My cheeks burnt at the second hand embarrassment they felt.

"Honestly... I can't wait to see you as well. Good night." He hung the call.

"Hey!" Y/n shook my conscience back in my head while locking my seat belt. The plane was hovering over the runaway. I was so excited.

It's not my first time here. But it's my first time coming here for Bangtan, for Namjoon.

"Seoul... I haven't seen this place in a while. I can't wait to get down." Said Y/n, stargazing the night sky and the city lights.

"I can't wait to get down as well." Our jet made its land and I took in a deep breath. I had so many reasons to come here today.

We waited for the signals to turn green and gathered our stuff, before boarding off.

We walked out of the airport and took a privately booked car to reach Hotel Insomnia. I promise, I don't need a hotel, be it in Seoul, Kolkata, California, for my work, Y/n or even Namjoon; to be insomniac.

"Arch, this hotel is like you: Insomniac." And here goes the new topic to mock me in our tiny conversations.

"It's also like you: Boring." The hotel was huge, expensive and of course, decorated like a royal palace. But things so dressy, make me feel like I'm tied up to some strictness. I prefer being in a mess.

"Yah! That hits hard!" She punched my shoulder. I giggled at her tiny actions.

We checked into our pre-booked room and I settled down on the bed. I stayed awake through half of the flight just so I can manage my sleep routine with KST, which was already messed up because of staying up late in West Bengal.

I want to wake up early.

"You sleeping already? It's 10:00." She said.

"Mhm! I have a huge work when I wake up tomorrow."

"Hmm... Okay!" She layed down on her bed and scrolled through her phone. No wonder I wanted to go through the regular loop of YT shorts but I gotta wake up, so I need to sacrifice it.

★★«★»★★

"Wake up!" I wonder how Y/n sleeps through the flight and then again the whole night as if she's a new born and then there's me, who tried sleeping at 10:00 but slept only after it was half past 1:00.

I pulled her duvet off her body and switched off the AC. I also opened the shutters of th window. Let's see how long she can sleep.

"Why are you so annoying?" She groaned and covered her eyes with her hands, protecting them from the harsh sun.

"Ebar chokhe flashlight marbo! (I'll point the flashlight over your eyes now!)"

"You know, I seriously hate you after this. I'll change managers!" She woke up with a huff and I snorted at her expression. She looked nothing less of a hippo.

"I'll kick you out of the house. Now go! I am desperate to see them again." I jumped on my place, trying to hold my patience.

An hour had past and here we are standing infront of the huge HYBE building.

I was looking for anyone to take us in or if I'm supposed to knock Y/n's presence in their mind.

"Is it Archi Sen- Se-" The man stumbled at reciting my surname, and I'm used to it. It's a hard name for many.

"Sengupta. Yeah it's me."

"Oh! Yeah... Umm... Please go through the security deposit." Hesitancy was speaking through his physic.

"Sure."

After a hefty half an hour or a quarter more, we were finally able to get through the million checks and were now standing in the main lobby.

It's good to see how packed their security is, they obviously need a little more protection.

"Archi..." Y/n pulled my hand. I turned to see her pointing at a tall figure, probably exiting the building.

"Soobin right?" I said.

"Yeeh!" She was so excited to see them.

"I'm excited to see somebody else." I mumbled. Before I could notice, she was already talking to Soobin, who was flustered.

I marched to her and faked a cough, gaining both their attentions. Y/n gave me an awkward look but Soobin looked completely fine.

He's seeing me for the first time right?

"You must be Archi." He said.

"Yeah. You know me?" I asked.

"Yes I do. We all do. I mean who would not? You got shot while protecting few of the most renowned artists. I saw both of you fighting alongside Bangtan Sonnyeondan Sunbaenim. And Namjoon Sunbaenim, often speaks of you both, especially you." He smiled.

"Oh! Nice to meet you too. We are here to meet with him. But we don't know where to head and nobody directed as well." I said.

"Yeah, you can keep waiting in the Lobby. I'm sure they'll be there soon. Don't take a stroll here. Everyone loses track of their directions." He bowed and left soon after asking us to wait.

We followed him and sat down, waiting for them. Y/n had already recorded the song and I remember emailing it to Hybe too. I was just wondering what she wrote because I didn't listen to it, when that familiar voice pulled my attraction.

"Hey! How have you been?" The members hugged Y/n and I smiled at their interaction.

"I'm good. How about you all? You're doing a come back next month. Shooting right now?" Y/n and the rest spoke of work stuff and I sat there like a grain of salt in a box of sugar.

"Not exactly. We're preparing for it. Meanwhile being able to feature you in the album, in the title track, would be a massive hit just how it was with Halsey and Cold Play." Said Jimin.

"Wait that's the title track? It would be my honor, to be honest." Said Y/n.

I was listening to them but my eyes, they were only looking at him. My eyes have a habit of seeing his face once a week, and if some how we couldn't manage a preferable time, they would complain to my brain for keeping me away from my phone.

He looked at he and I quickly lowered my gaze. He didn't catch me right?

"Okay, so when is the shooting starting?" Said Yoongi.

"I'm so excited for it. My crew will arive on Sunday, we can start from Monday." Said Y/n.

"Done! I'll convey it to the agency." Said Namjoon.

Jimin and Hoseok took Y/n to their practice room and I was useless for the while. I'm not the celebrity.

I decided to keep sitting and play random games on my phone, which I honestly suck at.

"Hey..." I looked over my shoulder and spotted Namjoon, standing tall above me.

"Oh hey!" I responded.

"How's your arm?" He sat next to me, trying to catch a glimpse of my kinda unfit hand.

"It's good." I rubbed the spot.

"Hmm... I didn't get to wish you a good farewell before leaving. You needed rest then."

"Yeah, it's okay. I understand." I couldn't face his eyes.

"I wanna redeem myself for that. You think you wanna catch up later tonight for a dinner?" He was looking at the album covers on the wall.

Does his heart beat the same race as mine? Or does his stomach also have a cluster of butterflies? Or is it just me that fangirls so hard?

"I would love to. I mean who wouldn't love to go on a dinner with the Kim Namjoon. But..." I paused in between my sentences, remembering how the people still hated on Chen for having a wife and a toddler.

"But?"

"But... I don't want you to get into any scandals. And now that you're collaborating with the artist, I'm in charge of, it can get overboard.

I don't want you to apologise like Baekhyun and Taeyeon for falling in a love you haven't fallen for."

"It'll be okay. Just say yes." He held my hands in his and I had a new feeling, I never felt before.

"If you say, then... Yes!"
