BELIEVE ME, I DO

(NAMJOON'S POV)

We met Taehyung and Jungkook on our way back. It wasn't too bad for the first day, but my body's exhausted. I've never thought I would clean half of a ship in one day. Once again, I let my excitement took the best and worse of me.

Seokjin and Yoongi were the last ones to leave this morning and, also, the first ones to arrive. It doesn't make sense to me, even less if nobody can tell me what is all that about.

"Why are you here so early?" I ask, sitting next to Hoseok on the sofa.

"We never left." Yoongi shrugs.

"You didn't?" I raise an eyebrow. I look at Seokjin, waiting for an explanation.

"We work at night." He simply says, looking at his nails

I let out a long sigh.

"Won't you tell us what is it all about?" Hoseok groans, supporting his arms on his thighs.

"We can't." Yoongi says, admiring the ceiling.

I clear my throat. "Well, when do you leave?"

"In a few hours, we've already eaten dinner. The king sent a man to bring us soup and chicken." Seokjin finally looks at me. "Can I talk to you for a second?"

I nod and we make our way upstairs in silence. It doesn't feel uncomfortable, though.

Seokjin hugs me when I close the door and moans in relief. "How was your day, Joonie?"

I smile. "Good, but my back and ass are killing me."

"Do you want me to give you a massage before I leave?"

Instead of answering, I cup his face and kiss him gently. "When are you coming back? I don't want to sleep alone. Tell me you're not going to spend all night out there, doing the king knows what."

He chuckles. "Actually, it only lasts a few hours. I'm coming back at midnight. You don't have to worry about me, nor Yoongi. We know how to take care of ourselves."

"I know," I sigh. "But it scares me not knowing where you'll be and what you'll be doing."

He pecks my lips. "Trust me, I know what I'm doing."

"Believe me, I do."
