Times change,
Ways change,
Opinions change,
Faces do too,
Hearts don't.

"Hmm" Taru let out a sigh, standing with Y/N on Taehyung and hers' room balcony. "Start" she rubbed her eyes, her hair scattering, loosely tied in a messy bun. You shut your eyes, arms folded while looking at the city.

"Where do I start?" You asked, shaking your head. "No matter where I start, you'll call me a lunatic in the end anyway." You said, letting the chilly air hit you. "Speak. Maybe that'll make it easier to start?" She said anyway, looking alive and awake even though you knew she was tired and wanted to get a good sleep before the award show. She had to do the boys' makeup, no matter what.

"Remember that day when I called you when I was in Busan?" you asked and she hmmed. "How crazily I was after your life to get a hold of my journal. That had a reason. You see," you took in a deep breath. "A few days before I had left Seoul for Busan, I wasn't in this life." You said and her face scrunched. "What?" she softly asked.

"Hear me out." You said, suddenly being active to make her believe what you were saying was real. "A few hours before I woke up in Jungkook's bed on 27th November, 2024" you sighed. "I had been sleeping on my couch inside our apartment in Australia, in 2019." You said, trying to make it look sane.

"What did you just say?" Taru's eyes narrowed. "I am saying that before I woke up half-naked in Jungkook's arms, I was living in 2019. In my normal world. The world where I was a part-time café waitress and a college student, living with you who was still just an arts major." You frantically replied. "Wait" Taru chuckled. "Are you saying that you jumped five years in a night?" She asked again and with wholesome seriousness, you nodded.

And as expected, she laughed. "Ok wait wait wait. Y/N, that's the lamest excuse for not accepting Jungkook's proposal. If you had to make a story, at least make it real. You're not a kindergarten kid, are you?" she kept chuckling with amusement in her voice when she spoke, bur receiving null reactions from you.

"I knew it. That's why I didn't want to talk to you anyway." Your eyes glistened before you turned away, hitting the ceiling and looking in the air. You didn't even bother to turn around even when the other girl's chuckles had died. "Y/N..." she came closer to you, holding your hand which was on the ceiling. "Are you serious?" She asked and you looked at her, no amusement in you but just simple pity for yourself.

"I'm still concerned if this is true or not but you look do serious right now. And you don't joke about these things" she was almost talking to herself. "Is it true? Are you saying that you're not the same Y/N I moved to Korea with or made memories with like meeting BTS for the first time?" she sadly voiced and you shook your head.

"I am Y/N." you said firmly. "Just not the one that should be here in the moment. I don't have a single idea about whatever the mess I am in but..." you broke down. "But it's just perfect. I want to be here, with you, with them. With him. But this is all crazy. This is not real for me, it never will be. How am I supposed to try to adapt to the place which is not really real for me?" you asked and Taru stood like a frozen rock, her mind running at a million kilometer per hour speed.

"Y/N..." she softly voiced. "If what you're saying is true then I don't think I have a say in this. I can help you understand things but... this is beyond my understanding. For me, this fact is unbelievable that the girl I've been with almost my whole life is saying that she just time travelled in my life a month ago. It's too much for me to believe." She apologetically said.

"But what I can say right now, is..." she said in a much lighter tone, making you look at her face. "I think you should live in the moment. Jeon Jungkook, who happened to waltz in our lives while we were just two simple fangirls of this boy band before, now we have two very handsome men, with us, supporting us. Isn't this what every ARMY dreams?" she asked and you nodded.

"Then I think you should reconsider your decision. Live in the moment. I know you and I know it that you're dying to put that diamond on your finger. And if I'm right," she smiled. "Then let him put it." She hopefully hugged you, positive vibes radiating from her. "Wait until tonight, and do what's right in your eyes when you feel it's the right time." She completed, pulling your hand back in the room where Taehyung slept soundly on the mattress.

"And about your little time-travel thingy? We'll see about it later. Until everything's normal, fuck the time." She whispered and silently chuckled. "Okay" you smiled. "And yeah, now I need to cuddle this fluffball. Let's talk later, hmm?" Taru grinned and you smiled back. "Hey Taru" you said before leaving the room, turning around to hug her once more. "Thanks. I really needed that. I love you" you grinned quickly and she heartily smiled, nodding. "I love me too"

You then rushed out, going back to the opposite room and rushing in. You took off your slippers and moved towards the bed, only to find another huge sized man curled up with his own self as if he were cold. You quickly slipped in the sheets, feeling comfortable around him again probably because he was asleep and there was no awkwardness or guilty in you when he wasn't looking at you.

You tried to snuggle in, pushing his legs to naturally climb on his feet and place your arms around his back. Your head then went under his chin, trying to plan how to stop being a jerk for this amazing guy who was giving his best to you since forever. "Where were you" you heard the raspy voice causing your eyes to open wide, only to be met by darkness as your face was muffled deep in his neck.

"Taru..." you softly mumbled and he hmmed, the morning voice giving you soft shivers. "Come here" he pulled you to himself, hands wrapping around your waist and lips softly leaving a kiss on your head. At this moment, it was almost as if the two of you were drunk, so sleepy that nothing mattered and the affection shown was normal.

While when you'd be sound awake, it would all turn to sadness and guilt, the two of you recklessly showed all your affection to each other while sleepy because no one was there to say that the two of were being too close for a couple who just failed a marriage proposal, no one to judge the two of you, not even your own selves.
