"Come on pleaseeee." Geongmin begged.
"No." I said.
She was begging me to go shopping with her but I was not feeling it, especially since I was going to be with Precious and her no.
"Pleassseeeeeeee." Precious added with puppy dog eyes.
I rolled my eyes.
"Ok fine." I said.
"Yay." Precious clapped.
We went to a near by shopping center. It was barely anyone here which was good for me.
"Namjoon, this look cute?" Geongmin asked holding a graphic tee.
"I guess." I shrugged.
She smacked her lips and asked Precious.
"It would go nice with some baggy jeans." She said.
"Genius." Geongmin said.
I rolled my eyes and played on my phone. As they continued shopping, my phone began to ring it was a FaceTime from Jin. I answer and he looked like he just woke up.
"Hello." He said.
"Hey what's up?" I asked.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
"Geongmin and Precious dragged me to go shopping with them." I groaned.
"Oh you're in Korea?" He asked.
"Yeah just a few hours from Seoul." I said.
"You're coming back early?" He asked.
"Yeah, we should be back in about two days." I said.
"So you introduced her to your parents?" He asked.
"Yeah." I said.
"Do they like her?" He asked.
"Yeah they do, it was awkward at first but of course Precious grew on them." I said smiling.
"Precious grows on everyone." He said.
"Which is a good thing and bad thing." I said rolling my eyes.
"Why you say that?" He asked laughing.
"A good thing because it made my parents accept her a bad thing because other people will like her." I said.
He laughed.
"True true." He said.
"Anyways did you spend this whole time in Korea?" I asked.
"Yeah, I caught up on some sleep." He said.
We talked for a few more minutes before disconnecting the call. Once Precious and Geongmin were done shopping we went to get some food.
"Can I have your autograph?"
We all looked towards the voice and it was a lady holding an album. I smiled and signed it for her.
"Thank you so much, I love your music." She said.
I smiled and nodded.
"Thank you for your support." I said.
"Enjoy." She said bowing and walking away.
"Thank you for your support." Geongmin mocked.
"You're so annoying." I said as I continued eating.
Precious laughed.
"So Precious please tell me more about you." Geongmin said.
"Well, what do you want to know?" She asked.
"Well did you go to university?" She asked.
"Yeah I did actually, I went for marketing." She said.
"Oh wow, what can you do like talent wise?" She asked.
"She can sing." I said.
"What really?" Geongmin asked.
"No." Precious said.
I pulled out a video of Precious singing in Italy and showed Geongmin.
"Oh wow, you have such a beautiful voice." She complimented.
"It's just a hobby but let's not disclose that information I don't want people to get the wrong idea." Precious said.
"What do you mean?" Geongmin asked.
"Well I don't want people to find out I can sing because they would assume that's why Namjoon and I are together." Precious shrugged.
"Yeah I get it." Geongmin nodded.
I smiled at how they were getting to know one another. Precious finally relaxed and was opening up. We finished eating and went back home. Geongmin dragged Precious to her room and I went to talk to my dad.

"Your mother told me about the dream you had, are you ok?" He asked.
"Yeah, even if it was just a dream I'm still going to move with caution." I said.
He nodded.
"Yeah, that's the best way to go about it. How's work?" He asked.
"Work is work." I said.
He looked at me.
"Be honest." He said.
I sighed and rubbed my hands through my hair.
"Work is hard but that's the life of an idol." I said.
"You guys work hard and it has paid off so far right?" He asked.
"Yeah, but now I'm pretty sure we're going to have a world tour soon." I said.
"Are you ready for that?" He asked.
"Yeah, I personally love touring." I said.
"That's good, how come Precious doesn't know where she's from?" He asked.
"Well from what I was told her mother sent her here when she was just two. She doesn't talk to her dad much, but when she do I'm sure she'll ask a lot of questions." I said.
"So her mother just abandon her, that's so sad." He said.
"Yeah, and her dad's been drinking and lying to her. She's been going through a lot these past couple of days. Dealing with fans and her own things." I said.
"And yet she hides it so well." He said.
"That's what's making me afraid." I said.
"Has she opened up at all?" He asked.
"Yeah she's been working on it, change can't happen overnight." I said.
"That's true, how is she dealing with the fans?" He asked.
"Surprisingly well, she seems to not let it bother her anymore." I shrugged.
"Does it bother you?" He asked.
I thought for a second.
"If it doesn't bother her anymore it doesn't bother me." I said.
"That's good." He said.
"Hey dad, I want to ask you something." I said.
"Go ahead." He said.
"I want you to be honest also, do you have a problem with Precious and I relationship?" I asked.
"No, it's different it's not everyday you see an interracial couple but she keeps a smile on your face so that's all fine with me. Your mother and I just want you to be happy." He said patting my shoulder.
I smiled.
"I am happy especially with Precious, she's made my life and my work so comfortable." I said.
He smiled and we talked for a few more minutes before I decided to go back inside. I went to Geongmin room and heard music playing. I walked in on them doing a TikTok and immediately turned around.
"No Namjoon come on." Geongmin said pulling me into her room.
"No I am not doing a tik tok." I said.
They both begged and pleaded before I gave in.
"What is this?" I asked.
"Ok you know that new twice song feels?" Geongmin asked.
"Yeah." I nodded.
"We're doing that dance, it's really simple let's practice." Geongmin said.
She played the music and her and Precious began dancing in sync. I rolled my eyes and groaned.
"You guys know I hate dancing." I said.
"Give it a try." Precious said.
I sigh and they played the music and I began following there steps. After few tries I got it memorized.
"Ok I'll be in the middle Joonie on the right and P on the left." She said.
I rolled my eyes as we got into formation. She swear she's Beyoncé and I'm destiny's child. She started the video and we danced, we rewatched it and it came out nice.

"Ok let's do another one." She said.
I groaned and countless of hours later we had over a dozen tiktoks made. Even though it was annoying, I enjoyed spending time with my sister and my girlfriend. We sat in the living room when Geongmin put on KOREAN Entertainment.
"Rapper of the famous group BTS has officially landed in Korea as of yesterday. He stands alongside his African American girlfriend,Precious love. If you don't know the couple recently went public as BTS were accepting there Artist of the Year award. Fans have took it to themselves to express how they feel with calling into the station."
"Why they had to use that picture?" Precious asked.
It was a picture of her and I at the airport. She just woken up and had bed hair.
"It's cute." I laughed.
"Shh." Geongmin said.
I rolled my eyes and continued watching the show.
"I feel like army needs to stop babying BTS, Namjoon coming out about his relationship was so heartfelt."
I smiled and continued to listen to the next callers.
"I don't care who Namjoon dates, just continue making music."
"Rm seems like the type to go for a black girl."
"Why her? Is it a fetish?"
Geongmin scuffed and turned the tv off.
"How dare they? A fetish? So rude." She said throwing the remote down.
Precious and I looked at each other and laughed.
"What is so funny?" Geongmin asked.
"You're so mad, it's ok." Precious said giggling.
Geongmin rolled her eyes and scuffed.
"Geongmin, those people are always going to have something to say. It's okay words don't hurt." I said shrugging.
She sigh.
"But they're talking bad about Precious." She said.
"Who cares, they're just mad because I'm living there dream." Precious shrugged.
I smiled, I love this new confidence.
"I love you." I said.
She blushed and touched her cheeks.
"I love you to." She said.
Geongmin gagged and we laughed. The next few days was a bliss we spent so much time together we forgot about Seoul. We didn't even go anywhere but spending time with my family and Precious was all I needed. My mom even warmed up to her and showed her some of her recipes but we needed to get back to reality and face the music in Korea.
"Do you really have to go so soon?" My mom asked.
"Yes, but we will be back for the holidays I promise." I said.
I hugged her and she sighed.
"It's been a pleasure meeting you precious, take care of him will you." My mom said hugging Precious.
"I will Ma'am." Precious bowed.
"Don't let it be another year until you visit us." My dad said patting my shoulder.
I nodded and gave him a hug. Precious and I walked over to a teary eyed Geongmin.
"I'm going to miss you guys." She said.
Precious smiled and wiped her eyes.
"It's okay, we will be back in a few months." She said.
"Yeah, I promise." I said.
"I don't care about you joon, I'm talking bout Precious." She said straight facing me.
I gasped and touched my heart.
"I'm just playing." She giggled and we gave her a hug.
It was fun being away from the spotlight, but now it was time for Precious and I to face the music. As soon as we got to the train station fans immediately noticed us.
"Kim Namjoon."
"Don't let my hand go, ok." I said to Precious.
We had no security and I didn't want Precious to get hurt.
"I won't." She said squeezing my hand.
I smiled as we continued walking through the crowd of people. We made it onto our train safely, thank god.
"That was intense." Precious said.
"Yeah, it was and we not even in Seoul." I said.
I pulled my phone out and called Hyunsoo to arrange for transportation. After I talked to him for a few minutes Precious laid her head on my shoulder.
"I had fun with your family." She mumbled.
"That's good, I can't wait until you call your dad." I said.
"Yeah, I'm curious also." She said.
I patted her head and enjoyed the rest of the ride. Once we reached the train station in Seoul, I was right fans everywhere.
"Are you ready?" I asked.
Precious grabbed my hand and nodded.
"I'm ready." She said.
We walked through the station getting dirty looks. Some even had there mouths dropped, I pulled Precious closer to me as we continued walking. We made it outside and there were paparazzi at the door.
"How does it feel to be back home?"
"Great, thank you." I said as we continued walking.
They continued to ask more questions, especially about Precious as we entered the car. As the car pulled up to our house, we stepped out and went inside.
"WE'RE HOME!" I yelled.
I heard a crash and heavy footsteps and looked at Precious.
"NAMJOON!" Jin yelled.
I laughed as he gave me a hug.
"Woah, have you been working out?" He asked placing his hand under his chin.
I laughed.
"Precious." He said smiling and hugging her.
"Hi Jin." She said as he let her go.
"How was Italy?" He asked.
"It was beautiful." I said.
"And Bora Bora don't get me started, Namjoon had to carry me to the plane I didn't want to leave." Precious said.
Jin laughed.
"PRECIOUS!" Jungkook yelled.
She held her arms out and I was confused to why until he jumped in them. I rolled my eyes, he definitely acting like a child.
"I missed you." He said scrunching her hair up.
"Hey." She said smacking his hand.
I laughed and he hugged me and patted my back.
"Woah have you been working out?" He asked.
"Same thing I said." Jin added.
I rolled my eyes, they already started and we've only been here for two minutes.
"Where's Jimin?" Precious asked.
"Sleeping, let's scare him." Jin said.
"Good idea." Jungkook added.
"How would we do that?" Precious asked.
Jin smirked and told us his 'devious' plan. This could either make him cry or make him mad, but it would be fun. We all got into our places and Precious knocked on Jimins door, after a few knocks her answered scratching his head.
"Oh you're back, I missed you." He said hugging Precious.
"I missed you to, let's have some tea." She said.
He nodded and they went to the kitchen. They began catching up and Jin came around the corner with Tae's grim reaper costume.
"Park Jimin." He said in a scary voice.
Jimin quickly turned around and jumped in fear dropping the tea. He hid behind Precious and Jin grabbed Precious and began to fake choke her. Thank god this wasn't real because Jimin was not helping.
"Im sorry Precious I'll get help." He said.
He began running to the door but was immediately cut off by plastic causing him to fall. Jin let go of Precious and began laughing taking off the mask.
"Oh my god." Jungkook said coming out the closet.
Jimin got up with tears in his eyes.
"That's not funny." He said folding his arms.
"No, what's funny is the fact Precious was getting attacked and you ran, taekwondo my ass." Jungkook said.
We laughed even harder.
"I was going to get help, and plus I was shocked." He explained.
Precious rolled her eyes.
"Yeah yeah whatever." She said.
"We should get Taehyung." Jimin said.
"We should do something different." Jungkook said.
"I got an idea." I said.
They all looked at me, and I began explaining my plan. Once we got an understanding of what was going to happen, we waited for V to wake up.
We were watching tv when we heard his door open and close. Jimin smiled at me and nodded.
"Precious, I missed you." Taehyung said giving Precious a hug.
She faked flinch and he looked at her worried. The prank was to make it look like she got beat up, and no one seemed to care. Just to see his reaction would be funny enough.
"Are you ok?" He asked.
She nodded and he sat by her and we all started talking to one another while Precious stayed quiet.
"Precious, you haven't said anything. Are you sure you're ok? And why are you wearing sunglasses in the house?" He asked.
Precious didn't say anything and Taehyung removed her sunglasses and gasp.
"What happen to your face? Who did this to you?" He asked.
Precious didn't respond, everyone got on there phones and Taehyung stood up.
"HELLO! Do you guys see this?" He asked.
"So?" Jimin asked.
"What about it?" I asked.
"What!" He yelled looking around.
Jin turned his head trying not to laugh and Jimin closed his eyes.
"Namjoon, how can you not care. Come on Precious let's go to the doctor." He said grabbing her hand.
"What about paparazzi?" Jungkook asked.
"FUCK PAPARAZZI!" He yelled.
Precious bust out laughing and Taehyung looked at her. We all continued laughing at a confused V, Precious wiped her eye revealing the make up.
"That was not funny." He said slapping Jungkooks arm.
"Did you see his face? WHAT!" Jimin said mocking V.
We laughed even harder.
"Who's idea was this?" He asked.
"Namjoons." Precious said.
Snitch.
"I'm GOING TO MURDER YOU!" He yelled as he charged toward me.
I got up and started running from him. Everyone began to laugh as he threw insults at me. I missed these guys.
