Chapter 70

I ran for a solid hour, once I got going it was hard to stop. The music pushing me, my brain working over time. I have definitely sweated out last nights alcohol and burned of the pizza calories. Jungkook had finished his set workout but stayed behind to help Namjoon work on his obliques. I tried not to watch them getting sweaty together, and for the most part I managed it, but seeing anyone with a good body, topless and sweating is a distraction let alone these two who definitely have the best bodies out of the whole group.

I decide to spend another 20 minutes or so stretching, I forgot to warm up my body so a warm down is essential. I work through some yoga stretches and catch Namjoon watching me. Jungkook has purposely put his back to me. I enjoy bending myself into provocative poses, teasing him. I'm going to show him just how sexy I am, just how lucky he is to have me, what I can do to turn him on and that he never has to go elsewhere to get what he needs.

When i'm finished and feeling suitably supple I head back upstairs to have a shower and get dressed so I can head to Lori's room and join in on the pamper session. I grab the dress I am now planning to wear, my nail polishes and the face mask I was going to do last night but didn't and knock on the door. "Come in" she calls. When I go in she is laying on her bed, face mask on with a very studious Yoongi at the end of the bed painting her toe nails.

"Wow, she has you well trained" I laugh. He gives me side eye and tries not to laugh but fails miserably. "What can I say, I was put on this earth to take care of her and I love it" he says. "God you two are so cute, you make me sick" I laugh again.

Lori really looks like a Queen being looked after by her man servant. She is laying in a purple silk dressing gown, propped up with fluffy pillows, chill out music playing, a glass of champagne on the bed side table next to her and the bottle in a bucket of ice. All she needs now is someone feeding her grapes.

I hang my dress up on the wardrobe, I plan to steal a pair of her heels later as they are always better than mine but before we start getting ready properly I will go back to my room and get the rest of what I need. I decide to ask Yoongi now about his chat with Namjoon, it would be good for Lori to hear it now too rather than me have to fill her in later.

"Yoongs, can you tell me what Namjoon said to you yesterday when he apologised to you?" I ask in a pretend whiny voice, trying to keep the conversation light and not bum us all out. "I wondered how long it would be before you asked" he laughs. He has just finished Lori's last toe and tells her to stay still whilst they dry. "Do you want me to do yours too?" He asks.

I jump on the bed next to my bestie and get comfortable and then wiggling my toes I say "hell yeah! Black please". He rummages through Lori's nail polishes and can't find a black one, so I point to my bag and tell him there is one in there. He finds it and gives it a shake before starting on my little toe first.

"It wasn't a very involved conversation to be honest. First of all he thanked me for looking after you. He appreciated that I had stepped up to make sure you had someone with you and that I got you home safe. Then he said he was sorry for getting aggressive with me and he knows I had your best interests at heart but he got so angry because he wanted to tell you he fucked up and say sorry. He told me that as soon as he realised what was happening he wanted to stop, but that you saw before he could do that. I know this might be a little graphic, and I am sorry, but, she had basically just sat on him as you walked in. They were not at it for ages. As soon as you left he pushed her off of him". He explains.

"Did Lori not tell you he pocket dialled me by accident and I heard the whole thing on a voicemail?" I say looking down at my feet and him. He looks shocked. "No she didn't!" he says slapping her leg in condemnation that she left him out of gossip. We all laugh. I pull out my phone and play it to him.

"Well it certainly sounds like his version of events is truthful. I have got to say I have been a little worried about him mentally since the abduction. I've been noticing subtle things. It might not seem like much but he has been nervous talking in front of the cameras, usually he is confident, he forgot a few English words which is unusual, forgot choreography and I saw him reading through comments on some posts too which he never used to do. I am inclined to believe him when he says it's an out of character mistake because he is cloudy headed. I think we should get him some counselling when we get back to Korea and work on the route cause of his troubles. It could be a lot of things, it could be one thing, until he starts talking we won't know. It may even help if you go with him to some of them, that way you will get to see what he is struggling with and be a support. That could strengthen your bond massively".

I can't say this enough about this man. He is so smart, so understanding and wise and he is only 30. "Thanks Yoongs, I think you are right. I want to be there for him, I do love him and I want us to repair this relationship, i'm just going to do it slowly and my only issue at the moment is being with him physically. I want him to have a health check first, I don't trust girls like that. I just hope she hasn't given him anything". He nods and then presents my toes to me in a move reminiscent of a magicians assistant "ta dah!"
