Spend a night out
"Okay, That's enough!" Sam yelled and separated Tiara from Joy harshly. He held Tiara's arm to make her stand straight and glared at Joy to remind him that what he did was wrong. He shouldn't have kissed her back when he knew she wasn't in her senses and doing everything because of alcohol. He dragged Tiara to one of the nearest seats, made her sit properly, and then kneeled in front of her.
"Let's talk tomorrow. Sleep and rest." said Sam, softly. He was looking at her with pitiful eyes but with some anger hidden in them. He wasn't angry because she was acting like a child, he was angry because she was doing stupid things and the members were cooperating with her as well like fools. "Let's not talk about it and forget it. Act like it never happened." Sam ordered with a strict tone in their mother language and stood before her like a shield, hiding her sleeping figure behind him. They cleared their throats but didn't budge from their spots, still looking at her.
Sam glared at them and sighed at their dumbfoundedness. "YAH! Take your seats." Sam scoffed at them, dragging them out of their thoughts. They didn't say anything and moved away to take their seats, Sam silently returned the silent treatment and took a seat beside her, holding her hand tightly to make sure that she didn't do any stupid thing. Tiara's eyes were getting heavy because of the sleep due to exhaustion after a long eventful day. Her head was falling in different directions whenever she fell asleep which was stopping her from falling asleep. Sam noticed it and put her head on his shoulders by softly pulling her by her neck letting her drift into sleep peacefully.
They reached the hotel soon enough but the driver parked the bus near the back exit to avoid public. TR-X gathered around TIara who was asleep on Sam's shoulder again, fixing their gazes on her little sleeping figure again. "Should we wake her up?" Joy questioned. "She looks cute…" JJ complimented lost in her cuteness. "Tiiara, wake up." Sam moved her a little as he called out to her but she didn't wake up as she was too tired and sleepy to respond to him. 'I can hear him… but why can't I respond? It's like my body isn't listening to me.' She thought as she failed to open her eyes to see everyone around her. "She isn't waking up." Vin said the fact in their mother tongue. 'What are they talking about now?' She was confused by their conversation as she couldn't understand their language.
"Yes, but we can't leave her here like this. We have to put her in bed to have a good sleep." said KR with concern in his voice. "Then should we carry her to one of our rooms?" Joy asked for clarification. "I think so…" KR wasn't sure if they should do it without her consent and what if someone recognized them and took pictures? It could ruin their whole image in front of their fans. "Who will carry her then?" Vin asked out of curiosity as he trailed his eyes to the other members individually. 'Should I? It's not like I want to but I just…' Vin was intense as he wondered what would happen next, he wanted to lift her up from the little corner of his heart but he was denying, denying that he wanted to touch her and don't want anyone else to lift her as he wasn't comfortable with it. "Uhmm, I don't think we should lift her without her consent." said JJ, hesitantly while Sam was still holding her head carefully not letting it fall from his shoulders.
"Yes, We understand that but we can't leave her here." KR exclaimed and told his point of view. "Correct, And I don't think she will wake up in this state." Sam sighed agreeing with KR to lift her up to one of the rooms. "Right." JJ finally agreed with their suggestion to lift her up. "But who?" Vin repeated his question again.
"Sh-" Vin was going to say something but Joy cut him before he could even say his first word. "I think JJ should. He is stronger than any of us." Joy pointed to JJ who was standing beside Vin with no emotions as if he was processing what Joy just said. "I agree. He can lift her very easily." KR agreed with Joy's suggestion. "Of course, He is our muscle baby." Sam exclaimed and cheered for the youngest member.
Vin had an urge to say something, but he was holding himself back, which made his throat dry and chest heavy. He was uncomfortable with other members' suggestions but chose silence and let them go with their suggestions. "Are you sure?" JJ asked being self-conscious. "Yes, you can carry her and we will ensure that no one catches us or takes pictures of us." KR permitted him to take her into his embrace and told him his whole plan was to take her inside safely. "Okay…" JJ agreed with their plan and took a step forward to her.
Sam let go of his grip around her head slowly to let JJ lift her up while JJ bent down a little to reach her sleeping figure. He looked at her face which had no emotions on it like her face usually doesn't, Her face always used to have lots of emotions on it, happiness, confusion, anger, sadness, Everything! Anyone could see what was going on in her pretty little mind almost every time but right now, her face was just neutral but still beautiful like ever, redness on her face due to alcohol was adding the final touch to her well-sculptured face. JJ brought his shaky hands near her to take her into his embrace, He hesitated to touch her, lift her, hold her, moreover, he hesitated to wake her up. It was like a slow-motion for him where he could hear his heartbeats, could feel his movement, and the tension in his mind was growing. He could only see her not noticing his friends around him who were watching his every action too carefully.
Slowly and carefully, he wrapped his arms around her knees and waist to lift her up while Sam put his hand below her head to take care of her head. JJ stood up with her under his arms while Sam stood up and fixed her head on JJ's chest softly. "Let's go." KR ordered and turned to jump out of the bus. JJ wasn't looking at her at all as he was making sure that he wouldn't stumble or bump into things on the way, Everyone followed him silently ignoring Vin who was speechlessly standing still in his spot as if someone tapped the paused button for him. 'What is this feeling? Why do I feel pain in my chest all of a sudden, too hard to take a proper breath? Do I have a fever? Am I ill?' Vin stood there for a couple of minutes and then cleared his throat before following the other members.
'I will see a doctor tomorrow before we depart from here.' Vin sighed and fixed his gaze on JJ's back as he was carrying Tiara in the bridal style while Sam was making sure that her head didn't fall from his chest. Soon, They got inside the lift and waited for their respective floor. 'What is going on? Shouldn't I go home now? My mother will eat me alive or I will be homeless from tomorrow onwards if I am not already. I shouldn't have drunk alcohol, stupid stupid stupid girl!' Tiara cursed herself while being under JJ's embrace but she didn't move or show any worry symbol on her face. She was still, comfortable, and carefree from the tension that he may drop her by accident. JJ started to move his legs carefully like she was a feather that could slip through his hand too easily anytime as soon as the liftgate opened again to reveal the floor's hallway in which they were staying,
"You can take her to my room." said Vin in concern with the hint of bitterness in his voice, bitterness which was representing his jealousy over JJ and Tiara. Jealousy is such a sinful feeling that every human feels at least once in their lifetime, A feeling that can only cause wars, destroy the world, destroy humanity, and turn friends or family into enemies. "But my room is closer than yours." JJ whispered in their mother language, too afraid to steal her sleep from her. "I know, but my room will be comfortable for her as it has more bright colors than yours. Your room is grey and black, I don't think she will be comfortable with deep colors when she wakes up in an unknown place." Vin explained his side in an aggressive yet low voice so as to not wake her up.
JJ didn't want to argue with him after noticing the aggressiveness in his tone and took her towards Vin's room. Joy opened the room's gate for JJ to take Tiara inside the room to place her on the bed carefully.
He took his steps toward the soft bed which had beige covers and white big pillows. JJ placed her on the soft fluffy and silky mattress while Sam helped him fix her head properly so as not to let her lay uncomfortably which would leave pain in her neck in the morning when she woke up. KR turned on the air conditioner while Vin wrapped the blanket around her to let her melt into the warmth and sleep peacefully.
"We should go to our room now." Sam said and looked at others who were looking at each other and then shifting their gazes on the little sleeping figure on the bed. "Uhmm, I don't think we should leave her alone in this room." said KR, thinking of the possibilities when she opened her eyes. "I agree, Imagine waking up in an unknown place without any similar faces nearby." said JJ, who was fixing his clothes after placing her on the bed. "Yes… Then I can stay here with her and you all can go to your rooms." Vin said, forcing words to make them go away. Others looked at him with curiosity, not trusting him. They raised their eyebrows at him showing that they disagreed with him. "I think I should stay with her." Sam cleared his throat to ignore the awkwardness growing between them and raised his voice. "Says who? If she can't trust anyone among us then that's you." JJ opened his venomous mouth without thinking twice to remind him what he did when they were catching their helicopters.
Everyone went speechless after his statement, no word came out of anyone's lips. Sam was filled with guilt all over again, A heavy feeling on his chest like someone just stabbed right into his chest but the only difference was he was stabbed by the words rather than a knife. The silence was so strong that they could hear each other breaths and the ticking sound of the clock. "Ahhmm, I-I mean we all should stay here…" JJ broke the silence as he realized he attacked a painful vein. They were looking at JJ with done expressions, very done with their youngest member who says anything without having much thought. "Yes, I think you are right." said KR who started to laugh fakely to avoid the awkward silence a moment back.
"I…I am going to arrange mattresses to lay it over the floor to sleep." Joy said cutting the tension in the air and hurriedly moving his foot toward the door without meeting anyone's eyes. "I am going to bring blankets!" JJ said in a low voice, awkward with his own earlier statement.
They silently settled the mattresses and blanket on the floor to spend the night on an uncomfortable floor. It had been a long time since they had slept on the silky bubbly bed but there they were, lying on the floor and staring at the rooftop to let their body get used to the hardness of the floor. Soon, They drifted to sleep due to the exhaustion of the concert and then the chaos they created with Tiara. Too exhausted to even care about the hard and uncomfortable floor.
Tiara opened her eyes when the bright rays of the sun reached her eyes from between the little gap in the curtains. She opened her eyes slowly to let her eyes get adjusted to the light and then her gaze fell on the roof. 'I never realized that I had such a clean roof in my room.' She thought in her sleepy state, not noticing her surroundings. She moved her body to sit straight but then she noticed that she wasn't in her room, she was just looking around with a confused and scared face to remember where is she and what happened yesterday. She was so lost in her thoughts and the room's environment that she didn't notice 5 large figures on the floor.
'I don't believe that I have been kidnapped as my hand nor my legs have been tied and to support this thought, This room seems comfortable and better than being a kidnapper's place.' She calmed down like a brave person she was to make herself think clearly. 'Ahh, I need to use the restroom.' She was moving her gaze everywhere in the room to find a door to lead herself to the washroom which she found in two seconds. Tiara removed her blanket to get off of the bed and put her foot on the floor just to notice the figures on the floor that were all over the floor.
'What the-' Tiara looked at a hand which was coming out of a blanket near her foot and then moved her gaze to the figure next to it. 'Vin?' She recognized the figure as his face was out of the blanket, sleeping peacefully with his flawless facial features. She pressured her brain to remember what happened yesterday after they went to the club but she couldn't control her need to go to the washroom as it was an urgent nature call. She made her way to the washroom carefully so as not to put her foot on the peacefully sleeping men on the floor.
Tiara did her needful but she kept forcing her brain to function. 'It never happened to me! Why can't I remember after we went to the club? Why can't I remember!?' She moved towards the mirror and looked at her reflection. She looked carefully at her own reflection to find any traces of the incident that took place with her.
'The club…washroom…call. Yes, the call! And then… I went back, right? Oh my gosh! Did I drink alcohol? Am I stupid? I am sinful! Wait, I got the call again… A video call. H-He made a new girlfriend-' She took a deep breath to ignore the pain inside her chest and closed her eyes to stop the tears from escaping the cage of her eyes. 'KR- He introduced himself as my boyfriend? But why?... Never mind, He did right. And then…what happened?' Tiara opened her eyes once again and then looked at her reflection carefully to force her brain to remember. 'They dragged me out… God, It's embaricing! Why was I acting like a stupid dumb broken person and whinned like a child in front of them!' She looked up, at the roof as if she was looking at God to beg them for providing her with mercy. 'Bus…and then? I slept?' She tightly closed her eyes to remember what happened next but nothing worked. She didn't remember what she did or how she ended up in the room on their bed. 'I guess I fell asleep on the bus.' She shrugged and moved to exit the washroom. 'But… then how I came here?' She stopped her foot on the way and thought. 'Maybe one of them took me here while I was on sleep.' She shrugged and opened the door to go out of the washroom.
'Should I wake them up?' Tiara scanned the bodies on the floor. "Well, I can't just go without informing them. It will be rude. But, To be honest- They aren't bad at all, It will be good living with them, looking at how they treated me yesterday and above that they slept on the floor in the same room as mine to make sure that I don't need anything… maybe or maybe, to not to make me freak out when I wake up? Or… to not to leave me alone. The reason shouldn't matter, They slept on the floor showing that they care for me… I mean they have proved it in a lot of ways.' She smiled as she repeated the incidents from yesterday till now. 'Should I accept their offer? They will take good care of me, right?' She thought again to accept their offer.
She grinned at them senselessly, not noticing that one of them had woken up already and was staring at her without saying anything. She was startled as she noticed him from the corner of her eyes and held the left side of her chest in shock as if she was trying to slow down her heartbeats after catching the sudden gaze on her. "You scared me! How do you always wake up whenever I am lost in my thoughts." Tiara questioned him because she remembered that he was the only one who woke up when she was in Aglos' agency room at night and was staring at the roof of the room, lost in her thoughts. "Sorry, You need anything?" JJ was confused because his brain wasn't working in the morning to pronounce good English to talk to her.
"No, I am good. Thank you for taking care of me after I fell asleep." Tiara thanked him and started to think of something to say because she felt the situation awkward. "I think I should go now. My family may be worried as I didn't reach home last night." She excused herself because she was thinking of her family's reaction when she reached home after spending the whole night outside without giving any updates to them. "B-but-" JJ stood up instantly after listening to her. "It means a lot to me that you guys looked after me even when I was acting stupid as I was drunk. I don't want to bother you all any longer now that's why I should go." She stopped him before he could say anything, She knew he was going to try to stop her from going and she didn't want that. "My family might be worried for me as I didn't reach home yesterday." She said hurriedly while fixing her hair and dress to go out. "Thank you for everything." She thanked him one last time as her feet started to move towards the gate.
"What you decided?" He asked in a desperate tone as if his life depended on his question. She turned to him again and looked at him for a few seconds to guess what was going on in his mind. "I will call Vin. KR saved his number in my phone yesterday." She replied to him in a plain tone as if she wasn't interested in speaking with him but she was only in a hurry and too disturbed by her own thoughts that were filled with the worry of the possibilities when she reached home.
She opened the gate and hurriedly walked out of the room to reach her home as soon as possible. She took a cab from outside of the hotel directly to her home.
Tiara jumped out of the cab as soon as the cab driver stopped the cab near her house and ran to her place. Her hands were shaking while knocking on the gate, she could feel her ears getting warm due to the tension brimming in her brain, and her forehead was covered with sweat. "Where were you?" She heard her mother's voice but her mother didn't open the gate for her, Tiara could only hear her mother's voice through the gate. "I fell asleep after I had a meeting with them regarding their offer. Can you please open the gate now?" She requested her mother politely to open the gate for her. "No, You can go and sleep wherever you were sleeping before." The old lady refused to accept her request and didn't open the gate.
