Chapter 77

I'm parched so I get a drink, and head towards Namjoon who is still looking over the railing. "Who were they?" He enquires pointing out the girls who haven't taken their eyes off of me yet.  He waves at them and flashes his million dollar smile and they instantly drop their grimaces and wave back at him with gusto then fully gush at each other! 

"I think we should leave soon, Jin is in a mess and we need to get him home. Also it won't look good being the last to leave, not to mention we have work tomorrow afternoon" Namjoon says ever the sensible one! I check my phone to see what the time is, it's a little after 1am. How has that gone so fast! I only feel like I have been here for a little while. "I suppose you are right, but can we just stay for the rest of Steve's set?" I ask, secretly not wanting to leave at all because I am really enjoying the songs that he is playing.

The rest of the group, obviously not sleeping beauty on the sofa come and stand with us, using up the last of their stored energy to dance to the last few songs Steve plays. He started with a BTS track and he finishes with them too. Well it's one of his and features them. It's a dance remix of waste it on me, mainly sung by Jungkook and rapped by my hubby. The mass of people in here all go mad for it and the dance floor is rammed.

The room is hot and humid, finally the heat from everyone's bodies making the air feel sticky. I have had a great night, and all I want now is to go home, get these heels off and treat Joonie to his punishment promised earlier. I'm looking forward to exerting my bossy sexual side, adding another facet to my growing list of personalities.

Ji-Ho and Min-Jun lift Jin up and try to get him down the stairs in the most inconspicuous way possible as being passed out drunk is not a good look for these boys. We follow behind and as we get to the last step the 2 girls from earlier are there waiting to get a closer look at everyone. "Aimee, please introduce us to the friends you made earlier" Namjoon says stopping and holding out his hand to shake theirs knowing full well if he didn't make the effort now they would follow us all the way out to the cars. "Well, everyone this is Chiyoko and Keiko, girls this is everyone!"

They both shake Namjoons hand and move along doing the same to the others and then ask if they can have a picture with us. "I will take it", I announce and they scuttle in front of the band and Lori and pose. I snap a few pictures before handing back the phone and saying goodbye. Keiko announces that she loves Tae and he smiles a boxy grin at her and shows her a finger heart. She swoons, and Chiyoko tells me I am married to her favourite. I chuckle and tell her I am sorry about that and her words back to me are "now I have seen them all in real life I think i'm switching to Jungkook so it's all good". Funny how looks can easily sway people, sometimes though you can be the most attractive person in the room but have nothing interesting to say.

I wave at the girls and we follow the hulks out to the waiting cars. There are photographers out there still and a few journalists too, obviously waiting for anything juicy to happen so they can plaster it all over the internet. As quickly as they can they bundle Jin into the car, and are closely followed by Hobi, Jimin, JK and Tae who will travel home together.

Our car pulls forward and Yoongi opens the door for Lori who climbs in. I am just about too do the same when I hear someone call my name. I turn around to try and find where the voice is coming from as a body walks towards me. I have had a fair bit to drink and i'm nicely tipsy but my eyes are a little blurry in the bright lights outside. I shield them to get a good look and see that it is my ex boss Mr Nickel. "Wow, what are you doing in Japan?" I ask him, being a little more over friendly than I ever have with him before and throwing my arms around him.

"We have started to get requests from artists all over the world to come and use our facility since you left, especially with the small boutique studio vibe being the 'in' thing at the moment. We were invited to this opening by Teichiku Records as we were in the country to meet some of their artists anyway. I have been trying to get an opportunity to say hello all night but you are so very well guarded!" he says a slight chuckle at the tail end of his words.

"It's really nice to see you, you look good. Namjoon you remember my boss Mr Nickel don't you?" I ask him as he extends his hand and they shake. "Hi, nice to see you again sir" Namjoon says so very politely. "You too. Congratulations on the wedding and the baby, she looks very cute. I was so sorry to see you had it tough for a while there, but so very pleased when she was brought home. My wife and children are in the country too, we actually tried to get tickets for the concert but it was sold out, the girls were very disappointed" he remarks.

"Where are you staying?" Namjoon asks. "We are at Miyako City in Osaka" he replies. Namjoon shakes his hand again and says "I will get some VIP tickets sent over to you with backstage access. How many children do you have?" Mr Nickel looks surprised by this generosity and says "wow, thank you, that's amazing. I have 2 Daughters". Yoongs tells us we need to leave so we exchange platitudes and get in the car.

"Fancy seeing him here!" I say. I am happy they are more successful, the album Jimin released did really well and sold over 2 million copies and got the name of Nickels Notes out there. I still swap messages with Nancy every now and then on Facebook and she says they have had many more big artists in from the UK and from Europe but were focusing on trying to bring in the Americans and Japanese too.

I tuck my body up beside Namjoon and put my head in the crook of his shoulder and take his hand in mine. He places his other hand on top of it and strokes gently with his thumb. "Thank you for a great night bubs, and for being so relaxed" I say to him and continue with "I had so much fun!"

"Your welcome. I'm glad you had a good time, it was nice to see you smiling. Have you decided if you are you going to sleep in with me tonight?" He asks. I look up at him and smile, I have missed his warmth and those strong arms around me, and what harm can come of sleeping in the same bed? "Ok, I will sleep in our bed tonight, but you do remember that you can't go straight to sleep when we get home don't you? I have plans for you".
