Chapter four – surprise
I stood under the steady warm fall of water and I tried to recollect my thoughts and emotions I had encountered from yesterday.
A pang of hurt hit me deeply and I just stood there almost lifeless as I gently fell to sit down on the floor as the water devoured me whole.
I felt as if I was floating through space, just getting by and it felt like infinite bliss had come to me and stayed with my until my ringtone startled me and I had shrieked, resembling the sound of a bird.
I quickly sprung to my feet as I shut off the water and drained the tub while running to my towel and drying up my hands.
“Hello?” I didn’t bother checking the name of the caller id because if I had waited any longer they would have hung up by now.
“Hey Melissa guess what?!” Yoongi yelled from the other side of the line and I smiled to myself because this was the first time he had called me first and would talk to me, the other members especially Jimin and Taehyung would call me whenever they were bored except for Jungkook, he would never call or text or even reply back, so I decided to just never call.
“What happened??” My mood had instantly been lifted up just by hearing how excited and happy he was.
“Well you know how it’s going to be a New Year right? Plus we have a surprise for you, well it’s good for us mostly but you’d be so proud.”
“Well, not everything has to be about me anyways.” I laughed, joking around with Yoongi.
“Yeah well anyways, Namjoon wanted me to tell you since he’s too busy running around the studio screaming right now.” In the background there was faint yelling obvious in the background noise and I could distinctly hear Namjoon’s.
“Hahaha, tell me what?”
“There’s a party tonight and we want to invite you since you’re Namjoon’s soul mate of course!”
“Oh! I would love too!” I did a little hop and my eyes lit up as I felt my energy regain itself and I quickly said goodbye to Yoongi.
There was an added spring to my step as I happily skipped along to my bedroom quickly preparing clothes I would wear later on and the clothes I would have to wear to my psychology classes in a bit.

I set my belongings down gently such as my tablet along with my coffee and a small notebook and a pen and took a seat in the spot I had chosen to be mine for a while until this class would end and the rest of my peers and I would have to move on to the next step in our training.
Time slowed down for me because I had been too busy anticipating for the party and I was so ready to meet Namjoon and have him tell me his surprise.
Luckily about after two hours our lecture had stopped because our professor was already tired by then and I had basically sprinted out of the class to go grab another crepe and an iced coffee for lunch.
The duration of the time waiting for my crepes was spent on reviewing my notes to make sure I understand every prospect of the lecture.
The fresh smell of the outside air rejuvenated my tired state and I quickly jumped to continue writing my story.
The green iridescent spiky grass poked me uncomfortably through my thin clothing. The warm summer breeze flowed through the pores of my dress and the all too relaxing smell of freshly cut grass invaded my nostrils.
I looked up to the cyan sky and I was instantly reminded of the crystal clear water of the beaches I would visit with my parents when I was younger. I just smiled at the memory and closed my eyes shut because I had suddenly felt footsteps coming towards me.
“Hey.” The tall man smiled at me, half of his body hidden by the colossal sunflowers.
I didn’t bother to reply, if I did, my head would only fill with more evil and bad thoughts that I could not afford to have.
His existence, I can feel it in my bones, it won’t leave me alone.
Soon enough, I was too engrossed in my writing that I had not even noticed that it were almost time for the party.
I sprinted to my car after speedily cleaning up after myself and drove home. I didn’t waste any time trying to put my belongings where they belonged and grabbing the items I did need.
I finished right on time to find the same dark sleek car waiting right in my driveway. I climbed inside the passenger seat to find three members, none of which were Namjoon.
Yoongi was driving yet he had not bothered to make eye contact so I looked at the backseat to find a radiating Hoseok and a calm happy Jin.
I found myself a little disappointed, not at the fact Namjoon did not pick me up, I understand that he’s the leader so he’s busy a lot, but I was more disappointed at the fact Yoongi is behind cold and distant to me all of a sudden. Was that really him?
“Hi Melissa!” Hoseok greeted me in his bubbling voice and I smiled brightly at him, his kind aura overpowered mine and I could help but to match his happiness.
“Melissa, Namjoon had to do some things for the party and since he trusts us, he wanted us to pick you up from the party.”
“Well, not really the other members can’t drive yet.” Yoongi made a snide remark from next to me and I just rolled my eyes and I sat back down properly in my seat before he would say anything else.
A few moments of silence passed by included with Hoseok’s talking and we decided to turn on the car stereo. The music blasted loudly and we all just smiled, singing along, laughing hard at stupid immature jokes made by all of us, except for Yoongi who just kept his eyes peeled on the road ahead.
We all arrived to the venue and Jin escorted me inside while Hoseok went to park the car with Yoongi. “Melissa?” Jin mumbled my name next to me and I looked at him.
“How is it, to, like, you know, see in color?” He stuttered asking me the question and hung his head low. “Aw Jin, Can I tell you a secret?” I begged him inaudibly but he still managed to catch me words.
He shook his head looking deep into my eyes and I stared back at him. Yet the words were stuck on the tip of my tongue and I forced my head to look down.
“It’s still-well-I don’t know how to say this- but- I’m trying- I really am- the colors come and go but I feel it, I can truly feel it.”
Jin just simple shook his head, smiled, and we continued to walk on as if nothing had ever happened. When I first met Jin, I was able to tell he was a nice guy and he has proven it to be true.
I sat down at a table quietly as I was too scared to walk around and be lost since someone else had called Jin to assist them.
The air was a refreshing cold and suddenly my sight was gone for it were covered by chilly hands. I sat stiff when there was a sudden feel of sultry lips against mine.
The hands pulled away to reveal Namjoon and I immediately lit up. “Hi baby,” his deep voice whispered into my neck and I giggled, pushing him off of me. “Let’s get a drink.” I offered and his hand took mine, we snaked through the crowd of people until we suddenly stopped.
I had slightly bumped into Namjoon and was pulled right next to him and I stood short in front of a bigger man. “Manager, I would like to introduce you to my soul mate, Melissa.”
“Hello, I am Melissa, I am eighteen, and my career is a writer.” I bowed respectfully and shook his hand and he also did the same.
We went our separate ways after the manager suggested that I would be a good song writer for Namjoon and how we were all so young and that I needed to care deeply for him.
Namjoon offered me a bottle of beer and I blatantly refused and instead, I took a cup of soda and walked to the dance floor with my love.
They all called the members up on the stage and with a quick peck to my cheek and handing me his almost empty beer, he left me and I was just left there standing, wondering what the heck was going on.
The same manager I met earlier stood on the stage, “Thank you everyone for coming, I am honestly so happy to announce that these boys are ready to debut as an official boy group!”
Clapping and cheering erupted from all over the crowd and I joined them also, having a tiny hop and clapping loudly staring right up at him.
He looked down on me and smiled, his deep dimples shined prominently even though it was somewhat dark.
“Hi baby girl, did you like my surprise?” He hugged me from behind as he wrapped his long arms around my lower waist.
“Yes, I’m so proud of you!” I smiled brightly at him and Namjoon laughed, pushing my hair to the side and breathed into my ear.
My body erupted and I felt extremely hot and sensitive to his touch; I turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck trying to bring him down to my height and we danced accordingly to the slow song that was playing.
The song ended all too quickly as we were interrupted by a woman around my age. The vibe she was giving off didn’t feel all too well to me.
“Oh Melissa, this is the girl that does my hair and makeup or will do though soon, Kristen.” I shook her cool hands and did the formal greeting and she did the same.
“Hi, I’m Melissa, I am eighteen years old and I am a writer.”
“Kristen, nineteen, makeup artist.”
~~~
Two hours crept by painfully slow.
We all sat down at a table talking about trivial agendas while eating our dinner when Jimin suddenly proposed an idea.
“Namjoon, since it’s a special night, plus I’ve been dying to go, can we please, you know, go to the place?”
“What is this place Jimin is talking about?” I glared at Namjoon asking him suspiciously, what’s going on?
“Melissa, it’s hard to explain, but ‘this place’ is where we’ve went, Jin, Hoseok, Yoongi, and I go to whenever there was a big event happening and wanted to celebrate. I don’t think you want to go though.”
“Rude, that’s not fair I want to go also.” I pouted at Namjoon as there were some uncomfortable coughs made by the people around us when he suddenly kissed me.
~~~
*Drugs are mentioned in this part so*
I wore a pair of shorts and a large flannel Namjoon gave to me as we walked on the sand. All the members including Kristen who happened to overhear our conversation went with.
We made a bonfire and formed another circle, sitting in-between Yoongi and Namjoon while Jungkook sat across from me.
Namjoon passed me the pipe and tried to explain to me how to use it after he coughed and I just waved him off.
I took the lighter, with my left hand covering the hole of the piece with my thumb and placing it into my mouth, the weed burned cherry red, I let go of the hole and took a hit, the smoked lingered in my lungs for a while and I breathed out, feeling my heart rate go down.
“Oh shit, how do you know how to take a hit like that?” Taehyung looked so confused and I just smiled at him staying silent as I passed it along to Yoongi, he did the same but coughed also and I just laid against Namjoon staring at the fire.
Kristen took the piece forcefully from Yoongi as she tried to take a hit, we all laughed at first because she failed and she didn’t even inhale, all she did was keep the smoke in her mouth and blew it out.
We all joked around with each other laughing at our own stupidity. I took a couple of more hits and two bottles of beer to calm myself.
I listened intently to the sound of the waves violently crash against the sandy shore while the beer and bonfire kept me warm under the moon’s icy glare.
I was in a deep trance-like daze under the control of weed and alcohol in my system. “Melissa,” a voice called out to me in my ear.
I was laid down in a soft bed and hugged Namjoon. “Are you sure you want to do this?” I looked deep into his eyes and nodded.
