"She seems nice!" Jungkook said as the door shut leaving the four of them in the house. "French Macarons, huh? Let's try!" Seokjin proposed grabbing the bag from my hand. 

"It was supposed to be mine, remember?" I said, snatching the bag from Seokjin. "After all, it's my house, and she's my neighbour!"

"Claiming her already, Namjoon?" Jimin smirked. 

"Shut it!" I snapped, opening the paper bag. The three of them were giving me their puppy eyes, waiting for me to give them the macarons. "Here, try some, it's nice!" I assured them. "Do we need to save some for Hoseok, Taehyung and Yoongi?" Jungkook suggested. 

"Yeah, sure. But certainly not to Hoseok! You remember when we brought a chocolate lava for him before?" I said.

"Yes, yes! He was praising the taste of that chocolate lava! Haebum was overly jealous of that chocolate lava! Since then, she tried to invent her own version of chocolate lava!" Jimin said as we laughed all together, enjoying the macarons and tea.  

"What's for dinner tonight?" I asked as my stomach grumbled. 

"That, my friend, you need to figure out by yourself!" Seokjin mused, while patting my shoulder. 

"I can't even cook! Why were you guys filling up the kitchen, if you guys aren't planning to cook tonight?" I roared. 

"That is of course for tomorrow!" Seokjin retorted. 

"Come on! It's Saturday night! Time to party!" Jimin squealed, looking at us. 

"You guys aren't staying here tonight?" I asked the three of them. 

"No, we were planning to watch movie at the cinema tonight, maybe crashing the clubs after. We knew you weren't eager to join us. Yoongi too is joining. Watch movie, drinking, maybe pick up some chicks in the club, swaying our bodies." Seokjin said, as he pulled the other, to join him swaying their hips in my living area. 

"Yes! It's been a long time, since we last went to the club!" Jungkook said. 

"Okay, you guys guessed it correctly, I don't plan on joining you guys. You guys go ahead and enjoy!" I assured them. 

"We thought so!" Jimin said, pulling me to join them swaying their hips. I shook my head at them. 

"But, you aren't supposed to pick up girls in the club Seokjin!" I continued as I realised the fact that he is getting married soon.

"Nah, Chaerin wouldn't mind! I am a free man! Treat it just a party, for me to mingle with my friends. It's our agreement too, not to interfere with each others' business!" He said, placing his arm on Jimin's shoulder, joined by Jungkook, still swaying, left to right. 

"So you both are playing some kind of love maze? Don't come back to us, if you did fell for her, okay?" I said smirking as my thought wandered to Taehyung and his agreement with Jiyeon. 

"Just let me enjoy my bachelor life okay, Namjoon?" Seokjin nagged, giving me a tight smile, rolling his eyes. "Chill, live your life a little." He continued, raising his eyebrow. 

"Just go, will you?" I said, dismissing them, by pushing them out of the house. As the three of them were outside of the door, I yelled, "Thank you for giving me an alone time, tonight!"

They were on their way to the elevator when I heard Seokjin yelled from afar. "Don't even think to drink at home, all alone, especially we aren not at home!" 

"Just go enjoy and go back to your own house!" I yelled from the door, before shutting it. 

Two hours passed since the three of them went out. I drowned myself with work, watching the latest news. I ate some leftover sandwiches from breakfast I saw in the refrigerator, though the sandwich was labelled with Seokjin's name on the cling wrap, but who cares? He is not even at home. Rather than wasting, so why not indulge on it, without heating it up, paired it with coke. 

I was concentrating on reading the manuscript when my door bell rings. I went out of my study to the door.

"Hi. Sorry to disturb." 

I was greeted by Kang Jaehi who was carrying a storage bag. 

"Oh, hi! What brings you here?" 

"May I come in?" 

"Sorry." I bobbed my head lightly, widened the door, for her to enter. 

"I bring some food. I have a lot of food at home, that I cooked, but I know no one, and I don't think I wanted to go out, especially at this time around." She was placing the storage bag on the dining table, before opening up the storage bag. 

"So, you are alone here? Where are your friends?" Jaehi asked, as she began to take out the container before arranging them on the table. 

"They are out partying." I answered, standing like a log, watching her arranging the containers. 

"May I raid your kitchen?" I placed my hand behind my neck before rubbing it. "Uh, go ahead. But make sure not to mess it up, or else I would hear a high pitch, non-stop, nag from one and only chef." I said, smiling sheepishly at her.

"Okay. No problem!" She said, while making a beeline to the kitchen, before opening up the drawers and cabinets, looking for utensils and plates. 

"Let me help too. Since, it's my kitchen too." I said shyly, before picking up the glass and filled it with orange juice. 

Placing the plates and utensils on the table, she told me sit and have dinner. "I cooked a lot, and I thought of you guys, I did know that you are all alone in the house. Hopefully you are hungry." 

"Oh thank you, I was planning to call for some delivery sometime later, once I finished my work, but you came at the right timing. I am famished!" I said, picking up the fork and spoon before digging into the food. 

"How was it?" 

"It's delicious! But for an honest review, you need to ask the experts. Well, unfortunately, he's out there, clubbing with the other two!" 

"How come, you are staying here alone?" 

"Nah, I don't feel like joining them, and I preferred to be at home tonight." 

For the rest of the night, we were talking about food, hobby, places to go, while in Korea, how to enjoy life in Korea and my work. We did exchange our numbers later. I praised Jaehi for being a great listener. She make a good friend. 

"Anyways, I can't we've talked for two hours. I hope I did not took much of your time."

"Oh, absolutely no! It was great, having you as a company! Plus, you bring me food while I am starving! You are indeed a life saver." 

"I must go not, I will take the food storage from you, it is all piled up in your refrigerator, just tell them to heat it up, tomorrow maybe." She shrugged. 

"Will do. Thanks again. Good night!" I said, while she was smiling at me, before walking off. 

I hummed a song, sauntering to the dining table. Picking up the dirty dishes, I went and placed them in the dishwasher. I looked around the kitchen making sure, the kitchen is clean enough. Opening up the refrigerator, I picked up a cold bottled water, before drinking it. 

The door bell rings for the second time, as I was gulping the cold water. Placing the bottle on the kitchen island, I went to open the door. 

"Are you forget--" 

To say, I was shock, it was an understatement. 

"What are you doing here, Lynnia?"
