Early Thursday morning, Alex and Ji-Hoon were back at HYBE having a meeting with the filming staff. Alex had put together a presentation to show how she wanted the layout to look and feel based on her notes and the footage Ji-Hoon had taken. The documentary would be presented in ten "episodes" once they had concluded the tour. Alex told the translator team that she wanted to go over their portion before final edits were made. She wanted to double check the translations before they were put into other languages.

They had a lot to get through, and every day was spent going over hours of footage. Luckily, Alex stayed organized and was able to cut to the right parts based on the notes she kept when Ji-Hoon was filming. She even gave instructions on what to do with footage they didn't use for the final edits. She had an idea come to her the day before, and decided to make a special video just for the guys from out takes she had picked specifically for them. It would be a surprise she would give them when the tour was over.

Alex was busily typing on her computer when her stomach suddenly rumbled. Ji-Hoon looked up at her when he heard it then looked at his watch. "Wow, we've been working all day and haven't stopped to eat anything, it's already five o'clock."

Alex Leaned back in her chair to stretch, "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse."

Just then there was knock on the conference room door. One of the staff members went to answer it, and three delivery men walked in with bags of food. They set everything out on the buffet tables along the wall then left. Alex looked over at Ji-Hoon, "Did you order all of that?"

He shook his head while he headed over to the tables, "No, but I'll kiss whoever did."

"That won't be necessary, just a thank you will suffice." Yoongi stood in the doorway leaning against the door jam. "We heard you guys had been in here all day without taking a break, so we decided to order in for you."

Ji-Hoon gave him a deep bow as he grabbed a plate and started loading it with everything he laid his eyes on. Alex looked over at Yoongi with a huge smile. "Thank you, and tell the others thank you as well. You're heroes today." Yoongi gave her a wink before he backed out of the doorway to leave.

Alex stared at the empty space where he had just stood. That was the first time they had seen each other since she had been at his house. They hadn't spoken since then with their schedules being so hectic. She headed over to the food to make herself a plate. She counted down the days in her head. Ten more days until they left for Europe. Ten more days until they could be around each other without worrying if someone would see them. No one questioned her presence on the tour because she was there to work, but if people saw her hanging out with Yoongi outside of that, it would draw too much attention. It was a good thing she had plenty of work to keep her busy. Otherwise, she might go crazy.

Yoongi had just arrived home after leaving HYBE. He was glad he had finally found an excuse to see Alex. It was strange not seeing her every day. The more he got to know her, the more he wanted to be around her. That wasn't like him, he liked his alone time outside of work. He had always been an introvert unless one of the team pulled him out of his shell.

He set his bag on the counter and went to let Holly out of his kennel. Yoongi had never been much of a dog person before, but when he saw Holly for the first time, he knew he had to have him. Holly wagged his tail and patiently waited for Yoongi to pet him in greeting. Yoongi picked him up and took him back to the bedroom. He set him on the bed while he changed. Holly lay there following Yoongi with his eyes as he walked to the bathroom, then back to the bed. Yoongi looked down at him and ruffled his head.

"You know Holly, you're the only one I share my secrets with. Because I know you can't tell anyone." Yoongi got under the covers and Holly came up to lay next to him. "I have a new secret to tell you." Holly wagged his tail and flopped his tongue out. He looked at Yoongi with stars in his eyes, the way pets do when they adore you. "I think I've fallen for someone." Holly tilted his head to the side as if he understood what Yoongi was saying.

"I know, I know. It's not like me, but you have to meet her to understand. I think you'd like her." Yoongi was petting Holly then stopped. "I don't even know if she likes dogs. I never thought to ask her." Yoongi looked down at Holly, "We'll have to take care of that and find out, won't we?"

Yoongi took out his phone and pulled Holly up to his chest. He turned his camera to face the both of them and took a selfie.

Say hello to my little friend

Well, aren't you the cutest thing ever!

Oh, hi Yoongi

🤨 Very funny, I'll let that go since he is pretty cute

So, do you like dogs?

LOL, yes I do. My mom wasn't a fan so I never had any growing up.

But, I've always wanted one

You'll have to come over and meet Holly.

I think he'll like you

Well if he's anything like his owner, I'm sure I'll like him too.

Oh, so you like me?

What do you like? 😁

Hmmm

You make great music

Uh huh

Were you expecting something else?

I see how it is, you just want me for my dashing good looks

💯

LOL, Goodnight Yoongi

Night Lex

Yoongi placed his phone on the charger next to the bed. He didn't know what had come over him. He wasn't really the type to flirt in texts. He closed his eyes and smiled as he felt Holly cuddle up next to his side. As he drifted off to sleep, he couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to have Lex laying next to him instead.
