Thursday after Alex had finished meeting with Ji-Hoon, she grabbed her computer and a book she had been wanting to read and headed for Yoongi's room. When he answered the door he had a scowl on his face and his headphones were hanging around his neck. He backed up so she could come in?

"Problems?" She set her bag on the bed.

"Not exactly, I'm just stuck on this song, it's missing something and I don't know what it is."

"Hm." Alex grabbed her book and made herself comfortable on the bed.

Yoongi looked at her, "That's it?"

"What?" She held her hands out. "You said I couldn't pester you, so I'm reading." She pointed to his desk, "Go, work."

He eyed her suspiciously as he went back to the desk. He sat down and put his headphones on and went back to his music. They stayed like that for several hours. Every so often Yoongi would look back at her, surprised she seemed content to just be in the same room as him as she read her book, not talking. She was the freaking bomb.

He worked a little bit longer till finally he took his head phones off and turned around. "What are you reading?"

She looked up at him, "A smutty romance novel."

"A smutty romance novel?" He got up and went to lay on the bed next to her, "Let me see." She turned the book towards him so he could read the page she was on. His eyes suddenly got huge, "Alexis Lynn! You naughty girl." His cheeks had gone red as she laughed at him.

"Hey, I don't judge you for your hobbies, don't judge me for mine."

"No wonder you get hot and bothered so easily," he pointed to her book, "you have that swimming around in your head."

"I know," she closed her eyes, "it's delicious."

Yoongi suddenly found himself hot and bothered. He wondered if she would ever try any of that on him.

"Yoongi?"

"Huh?" His thoughts had traveled elsewhere.

"I said, you're pestering me. Get back to work." She went back to reading her smut.

Yoongi shook his head and went to sit back down at the desk. He had lost his concentration, and it was his own fault. He turned back around in his chair, "Do you want to hear what I'm working on?"

She set her book down, "Sure." She got up to go over and listen.

He disconnected the headphones and played the music for her. They were nodding their heads to the beat as they listened. He stopped the music and pointed to the mixer, "That part right there. That's where I feel like something's missing."

Alex's eyebrows drew down, "Play it again." She listened for the part he pointed out. "Again." He played it again. "Pull up those sounds you were showing me the other day." He played them for her. "OK, that second one. What if you put that in there and then followed it up with a second or so of the rising flute sound?"

Yoongi tried hearing it in his head first, then threw in the two sounds she picked. He played it back, then a second time, then a third time. "Huh, I wouldn't have picked those two together. I think if I play around with it some more it might work. Nice job, Lex." He gave her a high five.

She went back to the bed and resumed her reading. She stopped and looked up at him, "So if you release that do I get any royalties?" She gave him a sly grin.

He rolled his eyes, "How bout an honorable mention?"

She nodded her head, "I'll take it." She went back to reading.

They spent the rest of the afternoon like that. Him with his music and her with her book. It was a shocking realization to Yoongi that they could spend time like that together. He always thought if he had a girlfriend, he would constantly have to choose between time with her and focusing on his music. With Alex, it didn't have to be a choice. She liked compromise, something he struggled with. The more time he spent with her, the more he realized that she was truly the most amazing woman he had ever met.

Yoongi's stomach suddenly growled and he looked at his phone to see what time it was. "Lex, you wanna order something to eat?" He looked over at her on the bed and saw that she had switched to working on her computer. She had a frustrated look on her face and was holding her pen between her teeth. Damn, if she wasn't the most beautiful thing he had ever laid eyes on. He got up and walked over to the bed and jumped on it.

Alex suddenly looked up as her computer tilted off her lap and her notebook bounced in the air. She pulled the pen out of her mouth, "Shit, you scared me. I didn't hear you. What?"

Yoongi chuckled at her, "I said, do you want to order something to eat?"

"Oh, yeah. Now that you mention it, I'm starving."

"OK, what do you want?"

She looked up at the ceiling while trying to decide, "Everything sounds good. You pick and surprise me."

"Oh God." He grabbed the menu next to the bed and looked through their options. "On a scale of one to ten, how hungry are you?"

"Eleven."

"Ok." He called room service while she went to the bathroom. When she came out he tossed the menu back on the nightstand, "You better be hungry."

"Oh, I am." She slid onto the bed and leaned in to nip at his neck.

He put his hand on her forehead and pushed her head back, "I knew that book was going to get me in trouble." She laughed as she cuddled up next to him and laid her head on his chest.

She put her fingers through his and lifted their hands in the air, twisting them back and forth, "You know, I really love your hands. They're so sexy."

"So I've heard."

"Yeah, every Yoongi stan dreams of these hands." She lifted her head to look up at him, "But I'm the lucky one that actually gets to have them on her." She wiggled her eyebrows at him before she laid her head back on his chest. Yoongi's heart rate had started to accelerate.

There was a knock at the door, "Save that thought, the food's here." He got up to answer the door when Alex suddenly rolled off the bed onto the floor.

Yoongi stopped and looked back at her, "The hell are you doing?"

She answered from the side of the bed, "I don't want them to see me!"

He was laughing while he answered the door and the food was rolled in. She heard the door shut and popped up off the floor. "You know, I'll be really glad one day when I don't have to worry about that anymore."

Yoongi gave her a soft smile, "When you're ready to tell the world, I'll be waiting." He lifted the lids off the trays.

Alex scoffed, "Good grief dude, are the guys coming over to eat with us?"

"I told you you better be hungry. I didn't know what you wanted to so I ordered pretty much everything." There was steak, a burger, burritos, and Asian food.

"I'm not picky, you could have stopped at the burger." She walked over and popped a french fry in her mouth, "MM, these are good." She picked another one up and held it to his mouth. He opened up and she popped it in. "OK, let's split it all."

They started with a little bit of everything, but quickly realized their eyes were too big for their stomachs. They lay on the bed unable to move staring at the wall. "There's still a lot left." Yoongi moved his leg and that was about it.

"Call the guys, they'll have it gone in thirty seconds flat." Alex took her phone and handed it to him. She was pretty sure his was over on the desk.

He turned her screen on and the selfie of them from the game the other night was her screensaver. He smiled to himself. He pulled up the group chat.

Left overs

Need help

Yoongi's room

He handed her back her phone, "I give it five minutes."

"Three says you have to answer the door when they get here."

He held his hand out to her, "You're on." They shook on it.

Three minutes later there was knocking at the door. Yoongi groaned as he rolled himself out of the bed.

"Victory!" Alex shot her fist in the air.

Yoongi opened the door. Jungkook and Jin walked in searching for the food. "Sup?"

"Have at it, Yoongi lost his mind when he placed the order." Alex sat up in the bed.

"Wow, hyung, you ordered the whole menu!" Jungkook tossed some fries in his mouth while he cut up the last of the steak. He handed a forkful to Jin, then grabbed the chopsticks to eat what was left of the spicy chicken.

Alex watched as they polished everything off in under five minutes. Were their stomachs bottomless pits?

Jin wiped his mouth with his sleeve, "What have you guys been up to all day?"

Yoongi grabbed a bottle of water and sat down in one of the chairs, "She read all day while I worked on some music. She actually helped me out with a song."

Jungkook looked over at Alex, "Nuna did? I can't believe he let you help."

"I've been showing her stuff on the mixer for a while now. She picked out a couple of things to throw in and it actually worked out. I may make her my little assistant from now on." He sent her a charming smile.

Jin slapped his hand over his mouth to hide his laugh. "Little assistant?" Alex shook her head, "More like your manager, you couldn't even stay focused today. I had to keep telling you to get back to work."

"You were distracting me." Yoongi was laughing at the lies coming out of his mouth.

"I was reading, you were distracting yourself." Jungkook and Jin looked back and forth between them like they were watching a tennis match.

"OK, fine, you win." He looked over at the guys, "She actually did leave me alone the entire time. It was me that pestered her." He looked back over at Alex, "You and that book." He shook his head and looked down at the floor when his cheeks started turning pink.

Alex gave him a feline grin, "You asked to read it."

"What book?" Jungkook leaned forward in his seat.

Alex looked over at Yoongi and shook her head vigorously. He ignored her, "Her frisky romance novel."

"Hey, that book is a well written piece of literature."

Yoongi scoffed, "Oh, don't try to put lipstick on a pig, it was smut!" Alex's face turned bright red as she tried to hide her grin.

"Can I see it?" Jungkook stood up from his chair.

"NO!" Yoongi and Alex answered simultaneously. "You're too young." Alex slid the book under the pillow next to her when she realized it was still on the bed.

Jungkook sulked and sat back down in his chair. "Young, psht, I'm twenty eight now."

"Yes, but you'll always be our little maknae." Yoongi went over to ruffle Jungkook's hair with his hand.

"Well," Jin slapped his hand on his stomach and rubbed it, "we came, we ate, we conquered. Let's go Jungkook." They waved goodbye then disappeared as quickly as they came.

Yoongi rolled the empty food cart out to the hallway and shut the door. He walked over to the bed and collapsed on it next to Alex. He turned his head to her, "You staying tonight?"

She looked down at her clothes, "I need to go back and change real quick first."

"No you don't." He hopped off the bed and pulled open one of his drawers. He grabbed a t-shirt and some joggers and tossed them to her.

She looked at the joggers then up at Yoongi, "You do realize I have an ass right?"

He leaned against the wall and slid his hands into his pockets, "Yes, I'm very well aware. Or . . . . you could always skip the pants and just wear the shirt." He gave her a wicked grin.

Alex's heart skipped a beat at the thought of it, "I'll take my chances with the pants." She went in the bathroom to change then came back out. The pants weren't as baggy on her as they were him, but they would do. Yoongi snapped his fingers when he saw her come back out with the pants on. She gave him a sardonic look, "Nice try buddy."

They got into bed and assumed their spooning position. Yoongi pulled the covers over them, "Come here, let me get these sexy hands on you."

Alex laughed as he pulled her in close. As they fell asleep, Alex looked back over the day they had spent together. Is this what it would be like to live with him? There were still a lot of hurdles to jump before she could even consider that possibility, but she was starting to feel more confident that they would get through whatever came at them. She linked their fingers together as she scooted her butt closer to him, then stopped when she remembered what happened the last time. "I felt that," Yoongi mumbled half asleep. Alex quietly giggled then drifted off to sleep.
