Power Style - Chapter Eight : The collisions
I groan as bright light hits my face. I feel my body slowly waking up from what feels like a coma. I struggle to open my eyes before I realize I'm not in my bed, but on my couch. I must've passed out here last night. I look for my phone around me to check the time. It's no use, the battery is dead. I lift myself up from the couch and yawn as I head to my room to charge my phone. I glance at the clock on the wall. It's 6 am. Great.
I know myself, I'll never go back to sleep. I decide to go for a run. I'm out the door after throwing on my gym clothes. The cold air whips my skin as I exit the building. This is exactly what I needed before today. We're shooting Jimin, and it's going to take all the patience in the world to not blow up.
I keep going for probably an hour, stopping on my way back for coffee. As I open my front door, I hear my phone ringing. I rush to my room and see Yoongi on the screen. (Yes, I finally saved their numbers).
« Hi Yoongi! What's up? » I ask as I pick up
« Hey Gina, I'm just calling to say that I switched with Jimin, he was up all night with the others guys so they're all passed out in the living room right now. »
« Oh okay! » I have to say I feel relieved for a second. « I'll just have to make a few changes, but it shouldn't be a problem! »
« Okay, I'll see you later then »
As soon as the call ends, I send a text to my team telling them about the change so that the settings can be reasy for Yoongi's shoot. Thank God we had prepared everything beforehand, it will only be a minor adjustment. The clothes are all at the shoot, so that won't be an issue.
I get out of my sweaty gear after everything is settled, and hop in the shower. I get ready rather quickly, wanting to get to the set earlier.
It's Saturday today, and I would love for the shoot to go faster than the other days, so my team can rest.
I get to the set and to my surprise Yoongi is already at the makeup station.
« Hey! I figured you would want to start earlier given the situation »
Yeah, we're definitely alike. « Thanks Yoongi »
While he's getting ready, I head to my team and ask them about the settings. Everything is already in place. They're the best, they know their jobs for sure.
We start shooting, and Yoongi is absolutely amazing. We don't have to give him any directions. He knows exactly what he needs to do, and what poses work for him.
He puts on his second outfit while he prepare the background. His face lights up when he sees I used on of his ideas. He stands in front of the stary background. This looks perfect.
Thanks to him, we were able to finish before noon. My team and I clean everything up, even more than the other days, since the set will be closed until Monday.
I wish the set a good weekend and lots of rest.
I step outside and closed the door behind me. As I start walking towards my house, Yoongi catches up with me.
« Hey Gina, I wanted to thank you for taking my input » He's looking down while he talks. « It really means a lot. »
« Your ideas are great Yoongi, I wish I could've used more of them. »
He blushes lightly, still looking at the ground.
« I would invite you over, but the guys are probably still lying in their drool on my couches. »
« Haha that's okay, I have work to do anyway »
« On a Saturday? » He finally looks up at me.
« Well, yeah, I want your campaign to be perfect. »
He's looking back down to his feet now. « Thanks for your work, Gina. »
« It's what I do! » I feel so much more relaxed around him.
« I'll tell you what » he continues « Come over tonight. Since we're not working tomorrow, we can have some food and a drink. »
« I'll send a car at 8, so you have time to work »
« Thanks Yoongi, I'll see you tonight »
The day goes by, and I just sit in front of my computer, focused on the visuals we already have. I start editing the clips we have for the video. Everything looks exactly how I imagined. I hope next week will go as smoothly as these last few days.
By the time the clock strikes 8, I'm downstairs waiting for the car.
The car roams through the city as I look out through the window. I walk into the building that I know now.
The door is already open as I walk out of the elevator. I walk into Tae and Yoongi's place.
As I walk along the hallway, I hear some noise coming from the guest bathroom in the corridor. I keep walking, looking at my phone. I bump into someone coming out of the bathroom. I feel someone tall, muscular.
« The fuck are you doing here? »
« Excuse me? » I look up at him. « Can you move ? »
He's blocking the way to the living room where I hear Yoongi and Tae's voices.
« Did you hear me? » I shoot at him
« I did. But you didn't seem to hear me. I asked what you were doing here. »
« I'm pretty sure that's none of your fucking business. » I really can't help it around him. He's the most arrogant person I've ever met.
« TAE! YOONGI! CAN YOU GUYS TELL ME WHY THE FUCK IS THE HELP IN YOUR HOUSE? »
« Are you for real!? » I'm really getting mad at him. « Who the fuck do you think you are?! » I'm almost screaming at him right now. The thing I hate most in the world is disrespect.
He starts laughing at me, which only makes me fill with more anger.
« I'm Kim Namjoon. You know that by now though. And I'm obligated to remind you that you work for me. » He spits his words at me, his face a few centimeters away from mine. He's leaning down so he's almost the same height as me. I lock my eyes with his, filling them with anger. He doesn't move and keeps looking at me with the utmost disdain. Our foreheads are almost touching at this point, but neither of us breaks the stare.
I hear someone shout from the end of the hallway. « NAMJOON! » As soon as his name is spoken, he's pulled away from me and pushed to the wall by Yoongi. We still haven't broken the stare, even though he's being scolded by his Hyung.
Tae appears at the end of the hall, a worried look on his face. He gestures me to come to him. I do so, passing by Namjoon and Yoongi.
« Are you ok? » He brings me into his arms as he speaks.
I look back to Namjoon, who still has his eyes locked on me. There's pure hatred in them.
« Yeah, whatever » I answer, walking into the living room.
Tae brings me a glass of water while I sit down on the couch, still shaken by what just happened. Soon enough, I hear the front door slam. A few seconds later, Yoongi appears from the hallway. His jaw and fists are clenched, his brows are frowned, his black eyes seem even darker than before. He comes towards us and sits down beside me, taking my glass of water and downing it in one go.
« Fuck, I'm sorry about that Gina. »
« It's not your fault Yoongi, thanks for stepping in though. »
« What the fuck was all that noise? » I turn around to the sound of Jin's voice. I didn't know he was here too. It seems like he's just woken up, his hair is all messed up and his eyes are still puffy. He realizes that I'm here, and immediately blushes. He's only wearing a t-shirt and boxers, but that was the first thing I noticed.
« Dude get dressed! » Tae throws him a paur of trousers that was lying on the couch.
Tae starts explaning to Jin what just happened while he puts on the trousers.
Jin doesn't say anything, and is just looking at me with concern. Tae and Yoongi start talking about Namjoon and his reactions, Jin simply sitting beside me wanting to comfort me but not knowing how.
The guys are interrupted by a knock on the door. Tae goes to open it and comes back with Jungkook.
He rushes to me as soon as he sees me. We've only met once, but it's like we've known each other for years.
« Why the long faces guys? » He looks confused.
« I'm gonna go guys, sorry but I kinda want to be in my bed. » I answer, knowing that the boys will update him.
« Are you sure? » Yoongi and Tae both speak at the same time.
I nod back as I stand up.
« We'll organize something soon, I promise. »
I hug each of them and head to Jin last.
« Please let me drive you home. »
I smile back at him as an answer.
We walk out of the apartment and into the elevator. He stands very close to me during the ride down as is he was asking for my permission. I lean towards him and lay my head on his arm.
He holds me by the shoulder as we cross the lobby.
Just as before, we sit in the car in silence, but this time our hands are touching in the middle seat.
I ask the driver the stop a few streets away from my building. I need to walk.
Jin follows me out of the car and we start walking side by side. Our hands seem to be looking for each other, barely brushing against each other as they follow the rythm of our steps. When we arrive at the main entrance, our fingers are intertwined.
I stop and look up to him. He looks stunning like this. He managed to tame his hair, which is now brushed back, showing his whole face. He's wearing glasses that give his face a different look. He's very sexy right now, with the street lights gently hitting the side of his cheek.
"Are you sure you'll be okay by yourself?" His voice is so soft that I barely hear him.
"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine." I smile at him.
He brings me closer to him and kisses my forehead. The tingling in my stomach starts again. I have to go now before my face turns bright red. I turn around, letting our hands separate as I move. Just as they're about to let go completely, I feel a pull. Jin has brought me back to him swiftly, catching me against his torso. I barely have time to understand what has happened that his lips are on mine.
