4 months later-

Y/N was driving her car towards the airport. She was going to pick up Saanvi from the airport. Finally, their holiday had arrived and Saanvi was coming to Korea for her trip

Over the past four months, not much had changed. Y/N and Saanvi continued with their duties, while BTS kept busy with their songs, concerts, and tours. Despite their hectic schedules, they still found time to spend with Y/N.

Meanwhile, in Japan, Saanvi's life was going well. She had developed a close friendship with Ye-Joon. Whenever they had free time, they would go out and explore together.

Whenever Jungkook found out about Saanvi and Ye-Joon's outings, his jealousy would skyrocket. He couldn't bear their closeness, but there wasn't much he could do about it. He was running away from the truth that he actually liked Saanvi. He convinced himself that she was just a good friend, nothing more. On the other hand, Saanvi was always eager to talk to Jungkook, and they would chat or call each other almost daily. There was a point when Jungkook's jealousy reached such a peak that he even bought a ticket to Japan, but the company didn't allow him to go.

As for Y/N, whenever there was free time, everyone would spend it together, going camping, and on picnics, and they even visited Jeju Island once. After four long months, diplomats Saanvi and Y/N finally got their first holiday. They decided that Saanvi would come to visit and spend some time exploring here, and then both of them would go to India together.

A little while later, Saanvi exited the airport, her eyes scanning the crowd eagerly. The moment she spotted Y/N, her face lit up with joy. Dropping her bags, she sprinted towards her friend, her excitement evident in every step.

"Cherry, cherry, cherry... I missed you so much. I love you!" Saanvi exclaimed as she reached Y/N, enveloping her in a tight, enthusiastic hug. Her voice was filled with genuine affection and happiness.

Y/N barely had time to react before she found herself lifted off the ground, Saanvi's arms wrapped around her like a vice. She could feel Saanvi's heartbeat against her own, and the warmth of the hug made all the months apart melt away in an instant.

"B-berry, put me down or I'll fall," Y/N managed to say, her voice muffled against Saanvi's shoulder as she struggled to speak through the overwhelming embrace. She could hardly breathe, but the joy in Saanvi's hug made it all worthwhile.

Saanvi laughed, finally setting Y/N back on her feet but keeping her hands on her shoulders. "I can't believe you're actually here," she said, her eyes shining with tears of happiness. "It's been way too long."

Y/N smiled, her heart swelling with the same sentiment. "I know. I've missed you so much. Let's get your bags and head home. Everyone is waiting for you there."

"What... everyone is waiting for me?" Saanvi asked, surprised.

"Yes, why are you so surprised? They all wanted to come and pick you up, but I told them not to come because of the crowd. And of course, you're their friend, so they'll be waiting," Y/N explained to Saanvi.

"No-no-no... I can't go there like this. Look at me! How can I show up in front of them like this? What kind of impression will that make?" Saanvi said, panicking.

"Oh come on, girl, seeing you like this isn't going to make Bunny run away," Y/N said with a laugh, patting her shoulder.

Then they started heading home. Despite being in the car, Saanvi kept checking herself in the mirror, fixing her hair, and adjusting her dress. Y/N couldn't help but laugh at her friend's nervousness.

A little while later, they arrived home, and Saanvi was greeted with a warm welcome by everyone.

As they entered the house, the door swung open to reveal a living room filled with smiling faces and festive decorations. Balloons and streamers adorned the space, creating a cheerful atmosphere.

"Surprise!" everyone shouted in unison, their faces lighting up with joy.

Saanvi's eyes widened with delight as she looked around at her friends. "Oh my God, you guys! This is amazing!" she exclaimed, her earlier nervousness melting away in the warmth of their reception.

Jungkook stepped forward, grinning from ear to ear. "Welcome back, Saanvi! We've all missed you."

"We couldn't wait to see you," Jin said, handing her a bouquet of flowers. "Now, let's get this celebration started!"

The room buzzed with excitement as they all gathered around, chatting and laughing. Saanvi's heart felt full as she realized how much she had been looking forward to this moment. The love and warmth from her friends made her feel right at home.

Jin spoke up, "Okay, Saanvi, let's go have dinner. We've all cooked for you."

"Yeah, we didn't know your exact preferences, but Y/N helped us out," Jimin chimed in, smiling brightly.

"Come on, let's eat. We worked really hard," RM said, stepping forward with enthusiasm.

"Yeah, yeah, you worked really hard... especially breaking three or four of Y/N's kitchen utensils," J-Hope sighed dramatically. As he spoke, everyone turned to look at him with mock disapproval.

"What?!?" Y/N shrieked in genuine surprise. "JOONIE, this time I won't let you get away with it!" She then started chasing him around the room.

Everyone burst into laughter, the room filled with the joyful sound of their camaraderie. Saanvi found herself laughing too, feeling completely at home. Just then, Jungkook came up to Saanvi, his presence suddenly making everything else fade into the background.

He leaned in close, his breath warm against her ear. "This is their daily drama. You should go change and then we can have dinner," he whispered.

The sudden closeness of Jungkook, the feel of his warm breath against her ear, sent shivers down Saanvi's spine. His low, husky voice felt like an electric current running through her. She turned to face Jungkook, their eyes locking in an intense gaze. The laughter and noise around them seemed to blur into nothingness as they were lost in each other's eyes.

Saanvi felt a flutter in her stomach, the intensity of Jungkook's gaze making her heart race. She could see the same intensity in his eyes, a mix of emotions that made her breath catch. For a moment, it was just the two of them, the rest of the world fading away.

When the commotion around them settled down, everyone noticed the two of them standing there, staring deeply into each other's souls. They exchanged glances, silently wondering how long this staring game would last.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, and with no end in sight, Jimin walked over and let out a fake cough. Both Saanvi and Jungkook snapped out of their trance, startled and suddenly aware of their surroundings. Saanvi realized how close they had been, her face just inches from his.

She was so startled by Jimin's fake cough that she lost her balance. Instinctively, Jungkook reached out and grabbed her hand, pulling her towards him. Saanvi didn't fall but instead collapsed against Jungkook's chest. The sudden closeness made her heart skip a beat. Now, she could clearly hear his heartbeat, pounding abnormally fast.

She felt his warmth enveloping her, his strong arms steadying her. But it wasn't just his heart that was racing; her own heart was pounding in her chest, and she felt the heat rising to her cheeks, making them blush. Jungkook's heartbeat echoed her own, their shared moment of vulnerability creating an unspoken connection.

As they stood there, Jungkook's arms around her, Saanvi could feel the rise and fall of his chest, his breath warm against her hair. She felt safe and incredibly aware of every small detail-the way his hand rested gently on her back, the subtle scent of his cologne, the softness of his shirt against her cheek.

"Are you okay?" Jungkook asked softly, his voice tinged with concern.

Saanvi looked up into his eyes, her face still close to his. "Yeah, I'm fine," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.

As she broke the hug and then Saanvi went to change.

A little while later, everyone gathered around the dinner table, enjoying the meal and lively conversation.

"The food is amazing. This is my first time trying Korean dishes, and it's really delicious," Saanvi said with a mouthful of food, clearly savouring every bite.

Jin let out a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness you like it. I was worried you might not."

"So, how was your experience in Japan?" RM asked, genuinely curious.

Saanvi's face lit up with excitement. "It was fantastic. Japan is truly a marvel of development. I'd heard people say Japan lives in the future, and after seeing it firsthand, I believe it."

"By the way, how's Ye-Joon doing?" Y/N asked with a mischievous chuckle, fully aware that mentioning Ye-Joon's name would ruffle Jungkook's feathers.

As expected, the moment Ye-Joon's name was mentioned, Jungkook's attention zeroed in on Saanvi, his curiosity piqued.

"Oh, he got transferred to the company's Korea branch. So, he moved here about a month ago," Saanvi explained.

"That's great," Jungkook said, his relief palpable.

"Since you're here now, are you planning to meet him?" Y/N asked, barely able to suppress her laughter, knowing she was throwing a wrench into Jungkook's fleeting moment of happiness.

"Yeah, I was thinking of meeting him one day," Saanvi replied, thoughtfully chewing her food.

Jungkook lost in thought for a moment, then spoke up. "Sure, let me know when you want to go. I'll take you. You don't know the area very well, so I can help."

For Saanvi, this was a golden opportunity to spend time with Jungkook, and she wasn't about to pass it up. She agreed eagerly, her heart racing at the prospect.

As dinner continued, the room was filled with laughter and stories, everyone enjoying the rare moment of togetherness. She couldn't help but steal glances at Jungkook, her excitement bubbling just beneath the surface.

The next day, Saanvi was getting ready to go out, but Y/N wasn't feeling well.

"Saanvi, I'm not feeling well. I don't think I can go out today. My head feels heavy, probably because my period is due," Y/N said, sitting lazily on the couch.

Saanvi's excitement dampened, and her face filled with concern for her friend. "Okay, we won't go out today. Let me change, and then I'll bring you a chocolate lava cake. I know you're craving it," she said, heading towards her room to change.

"No, no, you don't need to take care of me. I just want to rest for a bit. Wait, I'll ask Kook if he's free. Maybe he can show you around," Y/N reassured Saanvi with a smile and then called Jungkook.

"But Y/N, I can't just leave you like this. Listen-" Saanvi started to protest, but Y/N interrupted her, "Shhh," just as Jungkook answered the call.

"Jungkook, are you free? Saanvi wants to go out, but I'm not feeling well. If you're free, can you show her around?"

Jungkook was actually busy writing a song, but the thought of spending time with Saanvi made him respond, "Yeah, I'm free. In fact, I was getting bored. Tell her to be ready; I'm on my way." He tried to hide his excitement.

"She's ready. Come over," Y/N said, smiling at Saanvi.

"Are you sure you're okay? Do you need any medicine? I can bring some on my way," Jungkook asked, concerned.

"I'm fine, but if possible, could you bring a chocolate lava cake?" Y/N asked hesitantly, not wanting to trouble him.

"Are you on your period? Are you okay?" Jungkook's concern deepened, remembering how she had once cried a lot during her period and always craved lava cake at that time.

"No, I'm not on my period yet. It might come today or tomorrow, but I'm just craving it," Y/N laughed, feeling grateful for having such caring friends.

Jungkook arrived soon after, carrying a small bag from the bakery. He handed the chocolate lava cake to Y/N. "Here you go. And remember, if you need anything, just call."

"Thanks, Jungkook. You're the best," Y/N said, taking the cake and giving him a grateful smile.

"No problem. Ready to go, Saanvi?" Jungkook asked, turning to her with a smile.

"Yes, let's go," Saanvi replied, her excitement returning.

As they headed out, Y/N watched them, feeling content. She was lucky to have such wonderful friends who cared so much for her and each other.

"Distance gives us a reason to love harder."
