"Um..."

Hyun Ae, Jin, and Jungkook were standing at Namjoon's doorway, as they watched him in his deep sleep.

It was almost midnight, and the rest of the BTS had already come home from work. While the other members were having their late dinner and cleaning themselves, Jin and Jungkook got another discussion with Hyun Ae.

"I still think you should sleep next to him," Jin hummed, tapping his chin with his fingers.

And Hyun Ae immediately shook her head. "N-No. I mean..."

"Noona, you've slept with him before!" Jungkook sighed in annoyance, his hands on his hips as he rolled his eyes at her.

"Sh-Shut up! That was... because of thunders-"

"Well, now you're his girlfriend, and you're taking care of him. Plus, we are not allowing you to sleep on the floor!" Jin nagged, glancing over at Namjoon just to make sure that he was still in his sleep.

"It's totally fine! I'm okay with it!" Hyun Ae whimpered, now with her hands clasping together. She stepped closer to Jin and pleaded, "Please, I beg you. Seokjin oppa? Please?"

Jin couldn't help but sigh in defeat. "Urgh... Fine. But we'll prepare it for you. Now, go to the kitchen and grab your dinner. Ask Yoongi for it," he huffed, urging her to go to the kitchen.

"Thank you," she finally smiled and immediately made her way straight to the kitchen.

"Hey," she greeted Yoongi, after taking the spot next to him who was still having his dinner.

He grabbed a plastic package in front of him and passed it to her.

"Here's your dinner. So, how's Namjoon?" he asked, as he watched her begin to unpack her dinner.

"He's fine. He had been sleeping for hours," Hyun Ae explained, and she was amazed when she realized her dinner was a luxurious one.

Far from what she had told them to get for her.

"I got you some meat too because only the salad won't be enough for you. I don't want to see you fall sick too," Yoongi mumbled, taking another bite of his meat.

"Really? Thank you for the care, Yoongi oppa," she giggled before she took a sip of mineral water.

She picked up a pair of disposable chopsticks and began to eat.

It was a silent, awkward moment for both of them since no one started a conversation. And because of this, Hyun Ae began to speed up eating her dinner and a piece of the grilled meat accidentally touched her chin, smearing it with the oil grease.

"Oh-"

Suddenly a hand reached out to her chin. She turned to Yoongi as he wiped her chin clean.

"Slowly, dear. The food won't run," he chuckled, throwing away the used tissue on his finished food.

While Hyun Ae expected him to leave the dining table, he laughed and propped his head on one side with his arm, and smirked at her.

"I'm making sure that you eat all of it SLOWLY, and making sure you're full. You've been taking care of him the whole day," he snickered, flashing his cute smile at her.

Sending her heart to a speedy beat.

Is this my ARMY mode... or my true feeling for this cute, caring guy?

"We tried to make it as fluffy as we could for your comfort-"

"THIS IS SO COMFY!" Hyun Ae squealed, wrapping herself in the warmest, thickest blanket she ever had in her life. She rolled around the fluffy 'floor-bed' that Jin and Jungkook had made for her to sleep in.

Big, soft pink pillows on top of the thick, warm mattress. No doubt that she would feel comfortable later during her sleep.

"Thank you," she breathed out as she sat up, still wrapped in the warm blanket.

"Um... to make sure that you'll sleep well..." Jin paused before he picked up his RJ plushie from the chair behind him. 

"RJ? Are you serious? It's yours-"

"It's okay. RJ can accompany you," Jin smiled, patting both RJ and Hyun Ae's heads. "Well now, Jungkook, let's go now. She needs to take a break."

The maknae then knelt down beside her, smiling as he patted her head as if she was younger than him.

"Have a sweet dream, Hyun noona!" he wished with a kiss on her forehead.

"Thank you, Kookie," she smiled before he motioned her to lie down and placed the blanket over her.

Jin and Jungkook made a last glance at her before they left the room after dimming down the light a bit.

It was two in the morning when Hyun Ae woke up by Namjoon's hard, dry cough. She shot up from the floor and immediately grabbed the nearby bucket and placed it in front of him, in case he wanted to throw up.

Namjoon held onto the bucket, but he only let out dry coughs. Hyun Ae sat on the edge of the bed beside him as she began to rub his back.

"Joonie? You're okay? You need water?" she asked, rubbing the back of his neck when he nodded slowly.

Hyun Ae turned to the bedside table and grabbed an empty glass, before pouring water into it. She passed it to him and helped him to drink it slowly and carefully.

"Why... are you down there? Why are you sleeping on the floor?" he asked, gasping for air after he drank the whole glass of water.

"I-I don't want to disturb you-"

"No, no, no, no," he mumbled, shaking his head as he placed his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him. "Sleep next to me, please. I... had a dream," he halted and buried his face onto her shoulder. "You're leaving me..."

"No, no. I won't do that," she whispered, leaning her cheek against his head.

I'm afraid that it's you who is going to leave me.

"Please... be next to me..." he muttered.

"Yes, yes. I will," she finally said.

Namjoon moved back a bit and guided her to sit next to him and pulled the blanket over her.

"Jin hyung made your... 'bed'?" he asked, pointing to the floor where she was sleeping earlier.

"Uh... yeah. Haha, cute, right?" she giggled, as she helped and laid him back onto the bed.

"That hyung..." he chortled, slipping his long arms under the blanket and gently grabbing her body, pulling her closer to him. 

"Oh?" Hyun Ae placed her hand on his cheek and then on his forehead. "Your body temperature... It feels like..."

"That's because you've taken care of me so well," he smiled, snuggling in close to her. "I'm so glad that you're here."

"I'm glad that you're okay now. After this, are you sure you will be okay?"

"I will. I will take care of myself more so I won't have to worry you anymore," he whispered, placing a quick kiss on her head. "Let's just... sleep. We'll talk later. Now I just wanna hold you tight in my sleep."

Hyun Ae was just finished making the eggroll and transferred it onto a plate when she heard footsteps coming towards her in the kitchen.

"Hey," she greeted Namjoon, who walked towards her and gave her a kiss on her head in the early morning. "Why didn't you call out for me?"

"I don't want to burden you..." he said, sitting by the dining table where breakfast was served by her.

"No, you're not," she chuckled, placing down the plate before him. "Here's your breakfast. Coffee, or tea? Or orange juice?"

"Coffee, my dear," he giggled before he began to take a small bite of his eggroll.

Hyun Ae took the coffee pot and glanced over her shoulder to look at him.

White shirt, blue short pants, messy hair, his spectacles resting on his nose.

She smiled at the view that she had never seen before, not even in the fansites' photos.

But something was off.

She brought the pot and a mug to his side and poured the coffee.

"You seem bothered," she muttered, slowly sliding the mug towards him as she leaned towards the table.

"Well, about the thing that happened..." he started, taking a sip of his morning coffee. "I really need to focus on settling it."

"Well, yeah, I think you should."

"So... for the time being... I might not be seeing you," he nervously said, looking into her eyes nervously. "T-Tha-That's why I was stressed out. I... I don't want to say it to you, but-"

"It's okay. I understand," Hyun Ae softly chuckled, as she approached him and hugged him from behind. She placed a kiss on his cheek, inhaling his sweet scent as she continued.

"Settle it, and give yourself a long break. You need some time alone. I will wait for you. You know I will."

"Really? Are you sure?" he asked, glancing over at her.

"Kim Namjoon, I always believe in you. So, just believe in me," she whispered and smiled at him. "Because you're RM, the BTS leader. I know you can do this. I know, because ARMY always knows. Fighting."
