It's been about a week since you and six of the boys decided to surprise Namjoon for his birthday. You've been in contact with the boys every day leading up to your flight.

Today is the day. The airport is a rush of activity as you get ready to board your twelve hour flight to Seoul. You find your seat on the plane and settle in before sending a text to the group chat you created.

You: I just boarded the plane! See you guys in a few hours!!

SJ: Have a safe flight!

JK: Please text us when you land~

JM: Praying for a fast and safe flight 🙏🏼🙏🏼

The flight isn't too bad. Maybe it's because you're so excited to see everyone when you land. In fact, you're so excited, you only get about three hours of sleep the whole flight.

As soon as you land, you text the boys. Jin gives you directions to BigHit's main building, and you call a cab.

Soon enough, you're dropped off in front of BigHit Entertainment headquarters. You take a deep breath and hoist your bag up on your shoulders. As you step into the building, you take in the clean and sleek look of the space. You head over to the reception desk and shoot a text to Jin. The receptionist smiles at you, but she looks thoroughly confused at the sight of a foreigner just strolling into the building.

You: Jinnie~ I'm here! I'm in the reception area. The receptionist keeps staring at me 😂😂

SJ: Lololol practice just finished up. I'll be right there.

A few minutes later, Jin steps off the elevator across the room. He grins when he sees you, spreading his arms wide for a hug. You run to him and he laughs. "Y/N," he smiles. "Let's hurry!" He takes your hand and steps back into the elevator. "Hobi's stalling by singing happy birthday in all the languages he can think of."

Once you reach the practice floor, you can hear the distant shouts of some version of happy birthday that you can't understand. "Ready?" Jin asks as you hesitate outside the door of the practice room. Your heart skips a beat. You nod, squeezing Jin's hand. "Wait here for a moment."

Jin slips into the room as the current version of happy birthday dies down. "We have a surprise for you, our amazing leader. But, you have to close your eyes."

You hear Namjoon whine, and the boys laugh. After a moment, Jin quietly comes to fetch you. He puts a finger to his lips, and you clap a hand over your mouth.

When the boys see you, they bite down on their grins. Jimin swats at Yoongi, and Yoongi raises a hand to retaliate.

"Okay," Jin claps his hands. "This gift had to be flown in, so it's very special. Please take care of it."

Namjoon turns around, and when his eyes meet yours, he blinks a few times. "No," he laughs, covering his face. "You didn't!"

You hurry over to him, leaping into his arms. He laughs again, hugging you tightly and spinning you around. The boys cheer. "Happy birthday, Namjoon," you murmur, clinging to his neck. He smiles, setting you down.

The boys grin, standing off to the side. Namjoon puts an arm around you and addresses them. "What're you guys looking so smug for?" His eyes widen as he comes to a realization. "Wait... You all knew?! And you kept it from me?! What the hell..."

"It was really hard," Hobi laughs. "I almost told you so many times because I was so excited about Y/N coming."

"Yeah," Jimin nods. "We kept it a secret for a whole week."

"A whole week..." Namjoon shakes his head, as if he can't believe you pulled it off. "You guys are good."

"Do you like your surprise?" Jungkook murmurs, grinning.

Namjoon presses his lips to your temple. "This is the best gift I've ever gotten. Thank you, guys."

Later that night, you and the boys are hanging around the dorm. You're sitting in Namjoon's studio. He carefully places a pair of headphones over your ears and presses a button. Instantly, your head is flooded with Namjoon's voice. He's singing. You smile at him as he sits next to you, gauging your reaction.

The sample of the song fades out and you remove the headphones, running a hand through your hair. "That was great, Joonie. You have to send it to me when it's finished okay?"

Namjoon smiles. "I will, I promise."

You open your mouth to speak when you catch sight of a shadow pressed against the door of the studio. "Is that Jimin?" you giggle, nodding towards the door.

Namjoon sighs, hanging his head for a moment. "He's being like this because he knows you're in here."

You hear someone else come down the hall and shoo Jimin away from the door. "Don't worry, I got him!" Yoongi's voice calls through the door. "We'll make sure he leaves you alone."

"I'm really happy you came," Namjoon murmurs, reaching for your hand. "I can't believe you kept this from me."

You beam with pride. "I'm happy I surprised you." A yawn suddenly overtakes you. "Ah... excuse me."

"Are you tired? Come on," Namjoon stands, drawing you up. He leads you down the hall, toward the living room. The other boys perk up when they see you. Namjoon holds up a hand. "Y/N is sleepy, so I'm taking her to my room. Please don't bother her." He shoots a meaningful look at Jimin.

A short time later, you're laying in Namjoon's bed. The room is dark and cool. "Lay with me," you murmur, giggling.

Namjoon chuckles as he slips under the covers beside you. He pulls you close, nestling you into the crook of his arm. He presses his lips to your forehead, and you bury your face in his chest, wrapping your arms around him.

The next few days are a whirlwind of activity as you attend the boys' practices and rehearsals. You've grown extremely close with all the boys. You know it will be difficult to leave.

But when the day actually comes, it's more like a funeral. The boys ride with you to the airport, and escort you to the boarding area. Namjoon and Jimin hold your hands, while Jin and Taehyung carry your bags. "You have all the clothes we bought you, right?" Jungkook asks, looking over at you.

"Yup," you smile.

It's time to leave now. You and the boys stand in silence for a moment before you break away from them. You turn to face them and your eyes fill with tears. "Thanks for everything." You laugh to hide a sob. You cover your face with your hands and in an instant, the boys have you wrapped up in a warm hug.

"Please don't cry, Y/N," Taehyung murmurs, holding you close.

"We'll see you again," Hoseok smiles. His smile is so warm that it lifts your spirits momentarily.

"Will we still be friends when I go back home?" You wipe at your eyes.

"Of course!" The boys respond so loudly that people glance over at your group.

"We'll always be your friends, Y/N," Jin murmurs. "We'll always be there when you need us, so please don't worry."

Namjoon holds you close, and the other boys step away. You feel tears slip down your cheeks. "I'm gonna miss you." Namjoon's voice is thick with emotion. You look up to find him crying.

You rub his back, trying to soothe him. "I'll call you every day. We will see each other again."

"Right," Namjoon clears his throat, releasing you. "We will. You'll definitely come back to Korea."
