M Countdown Pt. 1

I Dream Of Running Man

The following week Ivy found herself standing outside of her hotel waiting for the car Yoongi was sending to pick her up. She looked down at her phone trying to distract herself from getting nervous. She knew that it was stupid for her to be so anxious about this, she was just seeing the boys perform, but she couldn't help but be a little bit concerned. She was worried that she would somehow do something wrong while they were backstage waiting for the soundcheck and performance. Yoongi hadn't bothered to explain to her what she was going to be doing, just that she needed to be dressed nicely so if the press got pictures of her they would be nice.

As Ivy huffed out a sigh and looked up, a black van turned into the front lot of the hotel. It came to a stop in front of her and the back door opened to show Namjoon waving for her to get in. After a moment of pause to process what was happening, Ivy hustled into the van. All of the boys waved and said their greetings as she took the open seat next to the leader. She could actually hear Yoongi's huff when she settled in.

“He lost at rock-paper-scissors and didn't get to sit next to you,” Namjoon whispered in Ivy's ear, leaning in far more than was necessary just to irritate the older rapper.

“Yah! Just because you won doesn't mean that you get to make a pass at my yeoja!” Yoongi yelled from two rows behind them.

“Hyung, it wouldn't be like this if you weren't so bad at rock-paper-scissors,” Taehyung said in a matter of fact tone from beside him.

“Yeah Yoongi! Why are you so bad at that game?” Ivy said turning to pout at Yoongi.

“It's not that I'm bad! It's that they all cheated just to make it so I can't sit next to you!” Yoongi huffed again and crossed his arms.

“We can't help it when you always try to take all of Noona's attention,” Jungkook said a bit sheepishly from his spot behind Ivy.

“Yeah Yoongi. You can't have my attention all the time! I have to give the precious baby bunny love too!” All of the guys chuckled as Ivy sided with them in their jabs at the now sulky rapper.

Ivy's nerves calmed as the ride to MNET wore on. The boys kept making jabs at Suga as he sulked and pouted the rest of the way, making Ivy laugh and giggle at him as he kept sending her looks. Suga had spent the entire week looking forward to getting to see Ivy during the time that he could spend with her backstage. He had always wanted to be able to have the person that he cared the most for be with him for his comeback stage. He was a little perturbed that the guys had made it so difficult for him to enjoy his time with Ivy but he could kind of understand.

When the van came to the back lot of the MNET building, the boys and Ivy were led out of the van by Manager Sejin and into the greenroom. The greenroom they were in wasn't necessarily small but with all of the coordi Noona's and their cases for the make up and the racks with the clothes. They were performing a couple of songs but they also had to have outfits for their “official” arrival where they would do a small interview in the lobby with Key and BamBam in front of the fans. Ivy couldn't help but feel a little bit overwhelmed as she watched twenty-one outfits being brought in with all the staff. It was far more than she had imagined was necessary for a simple show but she didn't have a hard time believing that the boys put this much work into it.

“Sejin-ssi? Where do you want me to stand so that I'm out of the way? I don't want to bother anyone,” Ivy asked the older man who simply smiled down at her a bit.

“Ah, just go take a seat on the couch. You won't be in the way nearly as much as the boys honestly and Suga might kill me if I tell you to keep standing,” Sejin chuckled but Ivy saw the tiny bit of nervousness in his eyes and understood that his last comment wasn't really a joke like she might have thought it was.

“Kamsamnida. I called your name correctly right? I don't want to offend you,” Ivy realized that by having simply called his given name she might have crossed a line but in all honesty she didn't really know what else to call the man and was really hoping that she hadn't done anything wrong. It would be a lot of bad juju to get on the manager's bad side.

“Ah, ye, you called my name very nicely, but as much as you're around the boys if it's easier you can simply call me Oppa. I know that Korean isn't your first language so it might be a bit simpler for you,” Sejin smiled again at Ivy and she bowed her head a bit to him in thanks.

“Kamsamnida, I have a hard time with how I should call people honestly. I'm considered fluent but numbers and calling people are the two things that I still mix up a bit,” Ivy received a simple pat on the top of her shoulder and a wide smile from the man before he gestured for her to head over to the couch where she sat down to wait for the boys to get ready.

It didn't take very long for Jin and Yoongi to join her on the couch after getting their make up done and changing into their first outfits. They simply sat on either side of her, Yoongi putting his arm around her shoulders, making some of the coordi Noona's giggle or whisper excitedly. Ivy blushed a bit, uncomfortable with the idea of them possibly spreading rumors that could hurt Yoongi, and tried to move his arm but he was having none of it.

“Don't worry so much, Jagiya. They might whisper but they're not saying anything bad. Honestly they're probably talking about how they didn't expect me to be the first one to have a girlfriend since I don't do anything,” Yoongi said as he pulled her a little closer.

“But isn't having this much skin ship in public out of the ordinary? Especially considering that you haven't known me for very long?” Ivy said still trying to get out of his grip.

“Noona, you really don't worry about that here. I mean, if a group comes to greet us then the skin ship will stop,” Jin looked directly into Yoongi's eyes as he said the last bit, making sure he understood that it was a direct order from his hyung. “Other than that, everyone here knew you were coming and why and what you are to Yoongi. No one will spread rumors, no one is going to harass you, and it's probably one of the safest places, besides the dorms, that you two could have this amount of skin ship.”

Ivy simply nodded at Jin, she was still nervous but his seriousness on the matter had helped to calm her down a little bit. She sat back a little more comfortable in Yoongi's arm and he nuzzled into her shoulder a bit. While the rest of the room seemed to be in full chaos with clothes flying off the rack and behind the changing screen, makeup cases opening and closing so fast that Ivy couldn't keep track, and coordi Noona's running around doing the other boys's hair and make up, the couch seemed to be almost unnervingly tranquil. That is until a coordi Noona caught sight of Yoongi's nuzzling.

“Yah! Min Yoongi! Hajima! If you mess up your makeup we'll be off schedule and running late! And don't you dare mess up your girlfriend's gorgeous dress!” The coordi Noona's voice seemed to shock Yoongi back to his right mind and his head shot off of Ivy's shoulder and into a bow of apology.

“Mianhae Noona. I didn't realize I was doing that,” Yoongi lightly scratched the back of his neck, making sure not to disturb his hair, while a light pink blush grew on his face out of embarrassment.

“Arrasseo. Just be careful. Agassi you look beautiful today,” The Noona looked over at Ivy who immediately bowed deeply in her seat and thanked her. “She seems like a keeper Min Yoongi, don't you hurt her.”

“Ne, Noona, I will be careful not to hurt her,” Yoongi replied giving Ivy's shoulder a squeeze and looking over to smile sweetly at her.

The Noona gave a smile at the sweet act before going about her business to make sure the boys were ready. As she left, Yoongi moved to bring his other arm around Ivy and pull her into a hug. Jin chuckled at the surprise on Ivy's face before picking up a magazine that one of the coordi Noonas had left on the table. They were shortly joined by Jungkook, who came to sit on the floor across from Ivy and pulled out a sketchbook.

“Are you going to draw something baby bunny?” Ivy asked.

“I'm going to draw something for you,” Jungkook replied without looking at her.

“For me?” Ivy questioned whether she had heard the boy correctly since he had kind of mumbled. Jungkook simply nodded at her while he started to draw.

“I think Jungkookie has started to accept you more. The first time that I knew we were close was when he drew something for me,” Yoongi said with a little smile at the Maknae who was grinning as he started drawing.

Ivy felt a warm fuzzy feeling in her chest and she couldn't help the tears that were starting to well up in her eyes. She watched as Jungkook drew and kept his focus on the paper. It was the most adorable thing that she could imagine. She loved all of the boys but she felt like Jungkook was the only one that rivaled Yoongi for drawing her attention, though it was entirely in a motherly way. Ivy knew that Kookie wasn't that much younger than her but it didn't stop her from wanting to take care of the poor baby. It might be that he seemed so innocent and it might also be his fear of girls.

Kookie kept sketching up until the other boys were done getting ready and that was when they had to go for their interview in the lobby. When the boys were called to leave the greenroom, Jungkook closed his sketchbook and stood. Yoongi and Jin followed to go towards the door where they were going to be led out the back again. Jungkook paused before he left the greenroom and looked over to Ivy.

“Don't look at it yet, Noona. I'm not done yet,” Jungkook said without making eye contact.

“Okay baby bunny. I won't look at it,” Ivy said with a smile at the baby as he left.

As the boys left, the coordi Noona that had complimented her came over to sit next to Ivy. She plopped onto the couch and threw her head back to rest on the couch. She looked really worn out even though they had only been there for about forty-five minutes. Ivy felt bad sitting on the couch while the other coordi Noonas were still walking around and trying to get everything ready for the next outfit change.

“So what's your name?” The Noona next to her asked.

“Jung Ivy-ibnida,” Ivy said with a bow towards the Noona.

“Ah. Park Tae Hee-ibnida. How old are you?” Ivy couldn't help but feel a bit like she was being interrogated by the Noona but she kept answering out of respect.

“I was born September 25th1991,” Ivy was feeling a bit uncomfortable but she knew that Tae Hee was probably only asking these questions to figure out if she could approve of her. She did seem to be the oldest of the coordi Noonas.

“Yeah, you're just about 10 years younger than me, but you are only a couple years older than Yoongi. How long have you been learning Korean?” Tae Hee continued her questioning.

“I've been learning for about six years now. I'm considered fluent but I still have some trouble with a few things,” Ivy smiled as she answered.

“Well that's good. You're the first girl I've seen this close to the boys in a really long time. It seems like even Jungkook is getting close to you,” Tae Hee stretched out her arms above her head before standing and turning to look at Ivy. “You must be a pretty great person if they're already so close to you. So far I have no complaints, just keep in mind that while I don't want them to hurt you, I also don't want to see them hurt either. So please don't hurt them.”

“I will do my best Tae Hee-ssi,” Ivy said with a bow that Tae Hee simply waved away as she went back to organizing the outfits for the boys.

It had already been a long day and the boys hadn't even performed yet. Ivy couldn't wait to see their performance but she was also a bit worried. Everything backstage seemed to have been going very well but she knew something had to happen. It always seemed like something went wrong when everything was going so well in Ivy's life.
