Forty Four : Concert Canceled

Kim Sora POV,

March 20, 2020,

*pipipipip

I rolled and stretched my hands looking for where my cellphone was. There was a long sigh beside me. I opened my eyes and found Namjoon's face, who was fast asleep, right in front of me.

* pipipipip

I turned my gaze to my bedside table and took out my cell phone.

"Yeobosseyo?", I replied

"Yeobosseyo, Oenni. Are you coming to Minerva today?", Asked Aeri from across the phone

"Aah ye ... what time is it now?", I asked, rubbing my eyes

"It's 12 noon now, Oenni. Officers from the Korea Center for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) will arrive at 1 o'clock, you didn't forget, did you?", Aeri asked

"Aigoo! Sorry I forgot, they will come today huh? OK, I'll be ready. Gomawo Aeri ssi", I replied

"Nee ..", said Aeri, hung up the phone

I completely forgot that this afternoon the KCDC officers would come to check on Minerva's condition whether it was feasible to continue operating or not during this pandemic. And now I must prepare immediately so that it is not too late.

I turned my gaze to Namjoon who was fast asleep beside me. A soft snore could be heard coming from his half-open mouth.

"Kyeopta! (Cute!)", I muttered with a small smile

He looks very peaceful in this situation. A blanket covered his lower body, while his bare chest gave a tantalizing view. I sat down and put the blanket around my body. We must have been so exhausted after making love that we fell asleep without wearing our clothes anymore. I feel my face hot remembering the night we spent together.

—————————————— 11 hours earlier

I observed the wound on my head in the bathroom mirror. It is almost healed, but sometimes I still feel dizzy when I think too much about something. According to the doctor, it was very reasonable, considering the injuries I suffered at that time were quite severe. I even had a moderate concussion afterwards. I had to spend 4 days in the hospital recovering. But now my condition has improved.

One day after the attack, the police came to see me to inquire about the incident. They found a rock the size of a golf ball, which was used by the perpetrator to attack me, lying on the ground next to my car.

Of course, as was to be expected, none of the perpetrator's fingerprints were left there. Fortunately, the camera footage from Ray Lim's car helped the police to identify the perpetrator's profile more clearly. And the other hand it is very unfortunate at that time the CCTV in the Minerva parking lot was damaged, so the details of the incident could not be recorded.

Even though until now the perpetrator has not been found either, at least they already have his profile. Police said that the perpetrator could be a man or woman in his mid-twenties who had a slim body and a fairly feminine way of walking and running. He/she is about 165-173 cm tall. On the black hoodie of the perpetrator there is something red, stuck to the lower left. They weren't sure if it was a clothing tag or something else.

According to the car camera footage, the perpetrator ran into Park Minwoo while running away. But when questioned by the police, Minwoo said that he did not look at the perpetrator carefully so he could not provide further information about the characteristics of the perpetrator.

* dingdong

I was shocked when I heard my apartment doorbell ring. I walked into the living room and turned on the intercom.

"Jagiya~ ??", I asked in disbelief seeing Namjoon's face appear on the intercom screen

I immediately opened the door and asked him to come in.

"What's wrong? Why did you come in the middle of the night like this?", I asked anxiously

He didn't say anything but hugged me tightly.

"Jagiya~? Has something happened?", I asked softly while stroking his back

"I'm sad, jagiya~ ... I want to be like this for a while. I really need my charger", he replied in a weak voice

"Arasso ..", I replied

MNamjoon is breathing heavily, like holding back tears. I don't know what happened so I can only hug his body tightly. I gently stroked his back, trying to calm him down. Almost 5 minutes we stood in front of the door hugging, until finally Namjoon let go of his arms and wiped his wet eyes.

I took him to sit on the living room and then I rushed into the kitchen to bring him a glass of water.

"Are you okay, Jagiya~?" I asked, giving the glass to his hand

" Aniyo, ani. I'm not okay, Jagi", he said in a choked voice

"Wae yo? What's wrong?", I asked, looking at him

He was silent looking at the Camellia flower on the table, didn't answer my question. Then he put down the glass of water which he had only drank a little. He rubbed his face and took a deep breath.

I was so nervous, I could feel that something big and bad had happened. Namjoon has never acted like this before, he always looks tough and strong. But now I feel that he is sad and down.

"Jagiya~ ...please say something ..", I said, holding his hand

"Our tour has canceled, Sora. I'm very sad and frustrated right now," said RM in a trembling voice

"canceled ?? All of your concerts?", I asked trying to stay calm

"Ye. Bang PD nim has just announced that our world concert this year is canceled. All of them. There will be no world tour, we can't perform in front of ARMY", he said hoarsely while covering his face

"Oh my God ...", I said as I pulled his body into my arms

"We tried to stay strong when late last month Bighit announced that our concert in Seoul had to be canceled because the current situation in Korea was not possible. Then ... then, our world concert had to be postponed until next month. And then ... hhh... then Bang PD said that our world concert was officially canceled entirely ... I ... I never felt disappointed and .. and sad like this Jagi ... ", said Namjoon stammering in my arms

"Ssshhh ... calm down Jagi..ssshhh ... calm yourself", I said gently stroking his head

"What should we do? When we heard this news, Taehyung, Jungkook and Jimin cried. While the others were silent with blank stares trying to digest this news. And I ... I ... I tried my best to strengthen them, although honestly I also felt the same as they feel ", said Namjoon again I could feel a deep sadness from those words

I wiped the tears that fell down my cheeks. I felt Namjoon's hand wrapped around my waist tighter. He leaned his head against my chest.

"I know this is very hard for you. You have worked really hard for this album and practiced so hard for the concerts. But you have to know, ARMY also felt the same way when they found out that the opportunity to meet you and watch your performances had to be canceled. But even so, we , ARMY, wherever we are, we will always support you ", I said trying to calm him down

" The Conditions around the world are currently facing a very dangerous and contagious disease. You definitely don't want ARMYs to get sick after watching your concerts, right? And we don't want you to get sick too. Too much risk and sacrifice to take if you keep doing the concert ", I said again still stroking his hair

"Everywhere, in every parts of the world, time seems to run slower,m. There are no activities to do outside the house. No festivals, no concerts, no seminars etc. We have already felt how things can be very frustrating for us, just confined in our room, unable to get together with friends or family", I continued

"But, surely in every situation there is always a lesson we can take, Jagi. Maybe this is the right time for us to reflect on ourselves again. We can have quality time with family or loved ones. And do you remember? When your concert canceled last month? We were disappointed, of course, but we got up right away and made it something positive ", I said again

"Ye ... We are very lucky to have ARMYs on our side. You choose to donate your ticket refund money to help the government cope with this virus", said Namjoon quietly

"We are inspired by you, BTS, you always make us want to be better", I replied with a small smile

"Jinjja?", He asked

"Ne! Why don't you use this time to get closer to ARMY? You can do a vlive and invite ARMY to spend time during this quarantine period with useful things. Because as you know, many people today feel bored and lonely at home", I suggested

"Like what?", He asked again

"I don't know ... you can try to do things you've never done before, maybe it can inspire us to do the same things at home ..", I said, moving my shoulders

"You are amazing, jagiya ~ ...", he said, burying his face in my neck

"Will Bighit announce the cancellation tomorrow?", I asked, playing with his hair with my fingers

"No. Maybe it will be announced in this week", he said, sending a warm breath in my ear

"Jagiya~...", I said trying to get away from him

"Wae?", He asked again, burying his face back in my neck

"Ani ..", I said softly, I felt a tingling sensation all over my body

"Mianhae.. I came here in the middle of the night. I couldn't think after hearing the news. I just wanted to be near you. Gomawo yo ... your words have made me feel better right now. Indeed, life is always filled with all uncertainty. I am disappointed because things did not go according to what I had planned, but nevertheless, life goes on even if we don't like it ", he said wisely

"Ye, you're right", I replied

"How's Minerva, Jagiya~?", He asked

"Mmmhhh ... not good enough. But I think it's not just Minerva who is having a hard time right now, almost all places, restaurants, shops, malls, and others have decreased revenue. However, I could say, the decline in Minerva's income was very drastic in these 2 months", I said with a sigh

"You know, our biggest income comes from selling food and drinks. Before the pandemic, Minerva was always crowded because many people gathered to spend their time reading, chatting and eating or drinking coffees there. But now gathering outside is prohibited, so it has a huge impact, "I continued grimly

"Do you need my help, Jagi? I'll be happy to help you ...", said Namjoon looking at me

"Gomawo ... I really appreciate your offer. But for now we can still survive, we still have spare funds and also I still have some money that I will use to rent a building in Incheon. So don't worry .... I think we can survive ", I replied smiling at him

"Too bad you have to cancel the construction of your new book cafe, Jagi ..." he said, stroking my hair

"Gwaenchana ... when the situation getting better I will definitely build it again", I said smiling at him

"Btw, Is there any progress from your investigation?", Asked Namjoon while playing with the hem of my nightgown

"Not yet... the profile of the perpetrator is still very general, so the police have difficulty finding him", I replied

"You always wear your bracelet, don't you, Jagi?", He asked again

"Ye, I always wear it when I go outside", I said

When I was in the hospital, the police gave me a bracelet for emergency calls. The bracelet is like a digital watch and has a touch screen that can be used if I feel myself in danger. It is equipped with GPS and will be connected to the nearest police station to my current location.

"I see Ray ssi is still watching me these days", I said

"Mmmm ye .. I still ask him to take care of you. Mian", he replied softly

"I feel uncomfortable, Jagi. Since I found out that all this time he was always watching me I feel awkward when I was around him", I said stroking his hair

"I'm just afraid something worse will happen, Jagi. At least, I wasn't worried because I knew he take care of you," he said, kissing me

"Jinjja?", I asked

"Ye ... I'll keep hiring him until the culprit is caught. I hope you don't mind", he replied while changing his position

He rested his head on my lap.

"Aah..so comfortable", he muttered. "Can I stay with you tonight, Jagiya~?", He asked while entwined our fingers

"Huh? You want to stay?", I asked in disbelief

"Ye .. I don't want to be alone tonight", he replied, kissing my hand

"But you live with 7 men in your house, how can you feel alone?", I asked, chuckling

"Ah, I mean... I don't want to sleep alone tonight", he replied with a smile

I just smiled looking at his face. Then he pulled my face closer to him and I felt his lips gently brushed mine. And everything is confusing.

I don't know how we can move to the bedroom. All I remember is the bliss that exploded when our bodies become one. Then when it was over, fatigue and drowsiness immediately took over our bodies.

—————————————————- 12.10 KST

I turned my gaze to the clothes scattered around the bed. My eyes are busy looking for where my nightgown is. I moved slowly and grabbed the panties and a T-shirt lying at my feet. Without checking it, I immediately put it on and crept towards the door.

I washed my face and started cooking lunch for us, kimci fried rice with sunny side eggs. I hummed while preparing lunch. Until I didn't realize Namjoon had awakened.

"Jagiyaa~", he called in a low voice while hugging me from behind

"Omo!", I replied surprised

"I was looking for my clothes and you were wearing it," he said hoarsely

I turned my body towards him and laughed.

"Mian .. I didn't find my pajamas so I wear what I found", I chuckled

"Gwaenchana ... I forgive you because you look hot in my clothes", he said, giving small kisses all over my face.

"Jagiya~...I'm cooking", I said trying to get away from his kisses

Namjoon looked at the frying pan beside me.

"It's done", he muttered then started attacking my neck

"Jagi~ ... I have to go to Minerva. There will be an inspection this afternoon ... I ... ah! I have to ... hurry ... oh ... I ... ah... get ready", I stammered

"Mmmhh", replied Namjoon

He sat me down on the kitchen table. His kiss turned into suctions and bites along my neck. I can't react, my brain feels stuck. I just sighed and moaned enjoying what his mouth was doing to my body.

"Jagi..I have to take a shower and ah ... get ready to go..plea ..", he kissed my lips so passionately that I couldn't finish my words

"You want to take a shower? I have to take a shower too.... how about we shower together?", He whispered softly between our kisses

I felt my blood pump faster and my heart was about to jump out when he carried me to the bathroom. I instinctively wrapped my legs around his waist. My hands gripped his hair.

Namjoon easily took off the clothes I was wearing and started squeezing my butt. Everything felt exciting and wild. As if all the kisses, sighs, and squeals of pleasure weren't enough anymore. The need to immediately unite our desires seemed unstoppable.

Well, I guess I'll be a little late arriving in Minerva ....
