5:30AM

Zahara: *quickly wakes up as she has the same dream again, tries to sit up but then realizes that there is an arm wrapped around her waist. Looks around to see she is in her bedroom and on her bed. Looks to her side and realizes Taehyung is asleep beside her. Softly and quietly, take his arm off and gets off her bed. Walks into the kitchen to get a glass of water*

Kookie: what are you doing awake at this time?

Zahara: *jumps* omo..*turns around and looks at him* I could ask you the same thing..

Kookie: I came to use the bathroom but I sort of saw you go into the kitchen

Zahara: I came to get a glass of water

Kookie: can't sleep?

Zahara: I was asleep until I woke up

Kookie: okay..

Zahara: I think I'll go for a walk

Kookie: alright *leaves then comes back with his sneakers on* i'm ready

Zahara: where are you going?

Kookie: Walking with you

Zahara: you don't ha-

Kookie: I want to. I don't feel like sleeping. Ah wait for me, I'm going to use the bathroom. *enters the bathroom*

Zahara: *goes back into her bedroom quietly, puts on her UGG chestnut boots, looks at Tae with a warm smile then walks out of her bedroom shutting the door quietly. Walks to the front door and waits for Jungkook*

Kookie: *washing his hands then goes down to the front door with a smile* let's go

Zahara: *opens the door and waits for him to go out*

Kookie: ladies first

Zahara: alright *slightly smiles and walks out*

Kookie: *follows while shutting the door*

Zahara: so have you liked your stay so far?

Kookie: I've loved it so far. I've been having fun.

Zahara: I'm glad you have been

Kookie: you haven't gotten annoyed with our company have you?

Zahara: no I haven't

Kookie: you can be honest

Zahara: no I really haven't, I'm not kidding.

Kookie: I'm surprised

Zahara: what why?

Kookie: because we can get annoying

Zahara: and I wouldn't doubt it but so far you haven't. I grew up with a lot of cousins that were far more annoying-

Kookie: it's just the start

Zahara: *laughs a bit* same with me

Kookie: you aren't annoying

Zahara: for now. As I get more comfortable with you guys I'll become more energetic, weird, and funny..or at least I like to think of myself as a funny person.

Kookie: well you've already seen that we are energetic, weird, and funny. It'll only grow more though. *chuckles* you either love us or hate us.

Zahara: well then that means I love you guys. *smiles* I think that's for everyone, you either love em or hate em.

Kookie: well I know the boys and I love you girls. You all have awesome personalities.

Zahara: aw thanks, the girls would appreciate that too.

Kookie: *smiles* do you always take a walk in the morning?

Zahara: no, I usually dance to wake me up but today I just felt like it. It's a nice day. *smile fades away* I should make breakfast for everyone. We could eat out in the backyard since the table is bigger there.

Kookie: oh you don't have to do th-

Zahara: Don't even say that!

Kookie: *eyes slightly widen, raises his hands* okay okay I won't

Zahara: *smiles innocently* anyway, agh maybe this walk shouldn't be long because I want to dance

Kookie: can I join you?

Zahara: yeah sure, all I was going to do was freestyle anyway.

Kookie: great!

Zahara: I'll want to get changed though.

Kookie: *looks down to look at what he's wearing, a white tank top and grey sweats* I think I'm fine

Zahara: yeah you're fine I mean I'm fine too but these are my pajamas so yeah I'll change into something else.

Tae: *stirs around in his sleep, arm stretches out toward where Zahara was sleeping to feel nothing there, places his hand down and feels around. Wakes up and quickly sits up, looking to her side. Grabs his phone to text her then realizes her phone is on the nightstand still. Sighs, shrugs and lays back down, falls back to sleep.*

Kookie: want to go back now so we have more time to dance?

Zahara: mmm if you don't mind..

Kookie: I don't...I'll race you back!

Zahara: alright, I'll warn you I'm a fast runner

Kookie: alright, if I lose then I will be you personal slave for however long we stay here today and if you lose then you will be my personal slave.

Zahara: deal *shake hands* ready 1 2 3 *they both start running, Zahara is ahead of him*

Kookie: *smiling, pushes to go a little quicker and passes Zahara*

Zahara: *smiling, catches up to him and is side to side with him then goes ahead of him once again*

Kookie: *runs a bit faster and catches up to her, passes her*

Zahara: *catches up with him once again, passing him, slows down a bit so no one has to be anyone's slave, she doesn't want to treat him like that since they aren't too close yet* ah it was a tied

Kookie: *panting* you slowed down that's why

Zahara: *catching her breath but isn't panting* did I? *smiles and looks at him*

Kookie: *smiles back and shakes his head realizing what she did*

Zahara: you're a fast runner though

Kookie: you're faster

Zahara: I use to run a lot. I never did track in school since it was in season at the same time as soccer but I always ran the field after practice until it became night time and I always went jogging everyday.

Kookie: that's impressive. Weren't you in pain?

Zahara: yeah..I was but I always put up with it..

Kookie: why?

Zahara: *stays quiet as she looks down*

Kookie: *doesn't want to force her* come on, let's go back inside. You go change and I'll be waiting in the dance studio.

Zahara: *nods as they both go inside. Goes up to her bedroom as Jungkook goes up to the dance studio, opens the door quietly to see Taehyung asleep but without the blanket over him. Covers him with the blanket, then grabs a pair of grey joggers, a black belly shirt, and all black roshes. Goes into her bathroom and changes in case Taehyung wakes up but she leaves her sneakers by the door. As she's changing, the huge mirror in her bathroom begins to fall, Zahara notices it falling right before it falls on the ground and shatters, jumps out of the bathroom with a screech but not trying to wake up Taehyung. Has her joggers on and she was just about to put on her shirt when the mirror fell. Eyes sightly widen at the mess* omo..

Kookie: *hears the loud crash*

Everyone else: *still sleeping*

Kookie: *starts walking in a rush to Zahara's bedroom and knocks on the door, just walks in. Sees Zahara in her bra, joggers, socks on* oh uhm..*looks down, blushing*

Zahara: *realizes she has no shirt on then shrugs and puts on her shirt*

Kookie: what happened?

Zahara: the mirror just fell while I was changing in the bathroom

Kookie: are you hurt?! *walks over to her and checks her*

Zahara: no no I'm fine. I got out right before it fell.

Kookie: *looks to see Taehyung still asleep* how is he still asleep?

Zahara: he was probably really tired

Kookie: true..anyway what do we do?

Zahara: I can't do anything about this, I'll call Hobeom oppa and let him know, later.

Kookie: alright, where are your shoes?

Zahara: fortunatley  I didn't bring them in the bathroom. *puts on her sneakers* alright let's go.

Zahkook: *both leave to the dance studio and freestyle for an hour and a half*

Kookie: Hoseok and Jimin hyung are both going to be jealous of me

Zahara: why?

Kookie: because they want to dance with you and I got to first *smiles*

Zahara: alright well I'm going to go to the kitchen to make breakfast. Get a drink of water and go shower. I'll shower right after I make breakfast and set up the table for everyone.

Kookie: alright *taking a sip of water* i'll see you in a bit. *leaves to shower*

Zahara: *goes to the kitchen and begins to start making breakfast*

Tae: *wakes up, rubbing his right eye, confused, looking around, begins to walk toward Zahara's bathroom to brush his teeth when he sees the shattered mirror on the ground*

*What the hell happened..? Wait! Where's Zahara?! Omo..is she hurt?!*

Tae: *quickly walks runs out of the room and into the kitchen to see Zahara cooking away*

Zahara: *has music playing quietly, right now Save Me is on, she's singing along* geu soneul naemireojwo save me save me I need your love before I fall, fall

Tae: *smiles and with his gorgeous morning voice* I wouldn't mind to see and hear this every morning

Zahara: *jumps a bit and turns around to see him* omo.. *begins to blush and turns back around* I'm surprised you are awake now

Tae: what do you mean?

Zahara: I thought you would wake up to the sound of the mirror shattering

Tae: yeah I saw the bathroom..what happened?

Zahara: I honestly don't know. I think maybe it was loose but I was in there changing when it happened.

Tae: oh yeah I woke up early at like 6 something and you weren't there..where were you?

Zahara: I went for a walk with Jungkook

Tae: you were with Jungkook?

Zahara: yeah and then we danced

Tae: you guys danced..?

Zahara: yeah hey, while you're here you mind helping me se-

Tae: *wraps his arms around her waist from behind, pulling her close to his body, resting his chin on her shoulder*

Zahara: what are you doing..?

Tae: sh..

Zahara: but I'm disgusting right now-

Tae: shhh

Zahara: *sighs* as I was saying, can you help me set up the table?

Tae: I'll help but finish cooking

Zahara: are you going to let okay of me?

Tae: no

Zahara: *under her breath* okay.. *continues cooking and then she finishes* uhm..I sort of need to put the food on plates..

Tae: *sighs, not wanting let go but does so*

Zahara: *stays quiet not really knowing what to say as she's takes out plates, placing food on it*

Tae: *just watching her*

*Maybe I shouldn't have done that..but it felt so right..but..why? I should speak up and say something but I don't know what to say*

Zahara: *finishes putting all the food on the plates* alright, *turns around and faces him* so we've got to set up the table. All the food is ready so let's go set up the table.

Tae: *smiles and nods* okay

Zahara: *starts grabbing things to set up the table, handing him items as well, walks down and out to the backyard placing these items where they belong*

Tae: *waits to be told what to do*

Zahara: *as she's walking back in to grab the food she's telling him what to do. Goes up to the kitchen, grabs two plates of food*

Kookie: *walks into the kitchen* hey *smiles*

Zahara: *recognizes the voice and smiles while turning around* hey Kookie! Mind helping me out?

Kookie: *grabs two plates as well* where to?

Zahara: the backyard

Kookie: alright let's go

Zahkook: *both walk back down to the backyard*

Kookie: *sees Tae* hey TaeTae! You're up!

Tae: *eyes slightly widen as he didn't realize he wasn't alone anymore, turns around and smiles* Good morning Kookie! Yeah, yeah I'm awake now.

Kookie: I'm surprised you didn't wake up to the mirror falling and shattering into a million pieces.

Tae: yeah..I guess I was really tired. I mean I woke up at about 6 something but then I went back to sleep.

Kookie: what time did you even fall asleep last night?

Tae: I don't remember but it wasn't too late...I don't think. All my energy was just sucked out of me from yesterday.

Zahara: *smiling while putting down food on the table as the two maknaes continue their conversation. Takes the plates from Jungkook and places them on the table. Goes back in the kitchen to take more plates back down onto the table*

Kookie: ahh I understand what you mean. Yesterday was really fun!

Tae: yeah it really was, *looking around* this place is awesome, I mean we also have a big house but they have more gadgets here to have fun with and have so many more pathways that lead to beautiful sceneries.

Kookie: not only that but all the girls have awesome personalities. They aren't conceited or anything like that. They are all down to earth.

Zahara: *she finishes bringing all the places and is currently in the kitchen, thinking about what she should put out on the table as a beverage*

Tae: yeah, all of them have a similar personality to one of us.

Kookie: Zahara is basically all of our personalities in one.

Tae: she hasn't really let it out though

Kookie: trust me, from the things I've heard. Once she's comfortable with us, it'll be leashed out.

Tae: alright, she hasn't seen how bad we all can get.

Zahara: *walks out with orange juice and hears them* yeah but I'm pretty sure I have an idea of it.

Vkook: *both look at Zahara with innocent smiles*

Zahara: *shakes her head with a smile* alright, well I'm going to go shower. I'll see you guys in a bit.

Vkook: *wave*

Kookie: see you! *looks at the table* mm everything looks good.

Zahara: go wake everyone else up if you'd like. Don't wait for me. *leaves to her bedroom*

45 minutes later

Zahara: *is wearing a thin periwinkle sweatshirt dress with white shorts under, and slippers. Her hair is in a ponytail and she has no makeup whatsoever on. There's not much of a difference though since Zahara doesn't like to wear TOO much makeup. Is about to walk back downstairs to the backyard when her phone begins to ring, answers it without looking at who's calling* hello? *as she hears the voice her eyes widen and gasps* oh my god! How have you been?!

Everyone: *all sitting at the table out in the backyard still, they are all done eating*

Yari: *looking back toward the house* what is taking Zahara so long?

Everyone: *looks toward the house, then at Yari*

Yari: *looks back at everyone* who's going to go check up on her?

Everyone: *looks around at each other*

Namjoon: *opens his mouth to say something*

Yoongi: *stands up and walks back to the house. Walking up the stairs as can hear Zahara speaking*

Zahara: wait what?....you're joking right? If you are joking, please tell me right now because this isn't funny.

Yoongi: *the door to her bedroom is open but he still knocks before walking in*

Zahara: you fucking asshole. Just fucking tell me, is this true or not?....she doesn't answer me either way her boyfriend doesn't want her talking to me....we both know the answer to that question.

Yoongi: *just listening, doesn't interrupt*

Zahara: may you please at least tell me if this is true or not? You are really making me not feel well..aish! Cabrón..I started having a fucking panic attack! *shakes your head* yeah yeah, I know, I know, when I go back to New York you will be the first to know. Stop! Wait..you are just joking right?..she can't be close to her deathbed..I spoke to her only a week ago though to tell her happy birthday...*makes a face* yes I remembered...ugh that's terrible to hear. Damn..that's something that's not going to be getting out of my head until I know she's okay. I'll talk to you another time. Bye. *hangs up and is staring at the floor, blankly*

Yoongi: what happened?

Zahara: I was on the phone with one of my most best guy friends, I've collab made YouTube videos with him, he has a younger brother that looks similar to him, agh anyway, he called me telling me that a mutual friend of ours has become pregnant by her very...psychotic boyfriend and has been kicked out of her parents' home. It's false, that didn't happen, she's not pregnant or anything like that. What he actually wanted to tell me is that his cousin's girlfriend, really sweet person, was in a car accident, an hour later from when I called her to tell her happy birthday and that she is in a coma. I didn't really know her well but it's still very sad. Just think about it, your life can change in just a matter of a second. It could be good and it could be bad...*sighs* she's only 23, she still has so much ahead of her..this can't be the end for her, this won't and isn't. *shakes her head as she teared up while saying that*

Yoongi: *sits next to her, rubs circles on her back*

Zahara: *sticks hands outward and looks at it shaking, takes a deep breath and it's shaky, shakes her head again. She isn't tearing up anymore* I hate having anxiety, it always just fucks up my whole day.

Yoongi: everything will be alright, don't think too hard on it. It's not good for you, okay?

Zahara: *nods knowing he's right but can't seem to take her mind off of it*

Yoongi: you need to eat something. The food's waiting for you to eat, outside. Come on.

Zahara: you guys didn't wait for me, right?

Yoongi: did you want us to..? *stops rubbing circles on her back*

Zahara: no no that's what I specifically told Jungkook and Taehyung.

Yoongi: oh okay then yeah, we didn't wait.

Zahara: *slightly smiles*

Yoongi: alright *stands up* let's go

Yoonra: *both walk down and out to the backyard. Both with a serious expression*

Zahara: *in between Lulu and Yari. In front of Namjoon and Hoseok. Not saying anything*

Yoongi: *sits back down next to Hoseok and Jungkook, not saying anything*

Huri: good morning..?

Zahara: *not saying anything as she puts some food on her plate and begins to eat. She's busy thinking about what she was told. She doesn't grab that much food but is barely eating it*

Luma: *watching Zahara with a blank expression, studying her trying to figure out what's wrong*

Tae: *looking at Yoongi*

Yoongi: *watching Zahara but feels someone staring at him so he turns around and looks at Taehyung*

Tae: *gives him a 'what happened?' expression*

Yoongi: *doesn't say anything and turns back around*

Zahara: *stops eating as she lost her appetite and is feeling uncomfortable as she feels all eyes on her*

Luma: *stands up, grabs Zahara's arm pulling her up, drags her through the path behind their house and to the lake* what happened? Did Yoongi do something?

Everyone: *dumbfounded*

Zahara: *shakes her head* no he didn't. Just be caring.

Luma: then what happened? I don't like seeing you like this, Zahara. The girls don't either. In fact, we hate seeing you like this.

Zahara: I know..just sometimes it's harder to hide it..

Luma: no, don't do that. Don't hide it from us. That makes it worse on yourself. Why don't you ever want anyone worrying about you?

Zahara: you already know the answer to that..

Luma: *sighs* no matter what you say, there are people that love and care about me. Including the girls and I.

Zahara: *looks down to her hands which are on her lap as she is teary and explains to her what happened as well as tells her only a few things that are bugging her. At this point she is now crying*

Luma: *hugs her rubbing circles on her back. After being there for what felt like forever, pulls away. Zahara is still crying but not as much.* should I tell the girls?

Zahara: *nods slowly*

Luma: *nods as she stands up and walks back to where everyone is*

Everyone: *watching Luma come back by herself*

Hoseok: where's Zahara?

Luma: *whispers in Huri's ear, who then whispers into Yari's ear who then whispers in Lulu's ear*

Cai Lu: *eyes widen slightly and stands up. Begins to walk to where Zahara is but Luma grabs her wrist. Looks back at Luma*

Luma: *shakes her head* don't. It's best for her to have some time alone. She needs it.

Tae: is she okay?

Luma: *shakes her head* but she will be fine.

Tae: *stands up and quickly walks to the end of the backyard through the pathway*

Luma: Taehyung-ah!!

Zahara: *sitting with her legs crisscrossed or sitting Indian style by the edge of the lake, looking down at her reflection on the water as she is just thinking, letting her tears roll down her cheeks*

Namjoon: believe it or not we care about Zahara, even if it only has been one day that we've all gotten to really know each other.

Jin: but we would like to know what's wrong with Zahara

Jimin: because we care

Kookie: and we want to become closer well with all of you really

Hoseok: you all are amazing people and we see and feel the love and care that you have for each other

Yoongi: *practically knows what really triggered it so he isn't saying anything*

Jimin: think about it like this, if you were in our positions, you would want to know what's wrong too.

Tae: *spots Zahara, walks over to her and sits next to her, with a sigh looking at the scenery*

Zahara: *takes her a few seconds to realize someone is next to her, looks next to her to see Taehyung sitting next to her*

Tae: *looks at her. Wipes her tears*

Zahara: *not saying anything, just examining his facial features*

Tae: *smiling knowing what she's doing. As he finishes wiping away her tears* what's wrong? Why were you cryjng?

Zahara: *still studying his facial features for a couple more seconds then looks away toward the scenery*

Tae: you can trust me you know?

Zahara: *slightly nods*

Tae: so tell me. TaeTae oppa wants to know. *trying to cheer her up*

Zahara: *explains to him only what happened on the phone this morning*

Tae: ahh, everything will be okay, Zahara. Don't stress about it tooo much. It's not good to stress like that. So just cry it out. Crying is good..sometimes.

Zahara: I think I'm done crying

Tae: do you want a hug?

Zahara: *shakes her head* I don't I-

Tae: *hugs her*

Zahara: *slightly smiles. After a couple seconds* alright.. *tries to pull away*

Tae: *doesn't let go*

Zahara: Tae

Tae: *still doesn't let go*

Zahara: Taehyung

Tae: *doesn't let go*

Zahara: *sighs* oppa

Tae: *still doesn't let go*

Zahara: *tickles him*

Tae: *giggles as he lets go*

Zahara: *with a small smile, looks back toward the scenery*

Tae: *looks back at the scenery as well* what are you going to be doing today?

Zahara: the exams. I'm going to take all 3 today. I still don't know what time though. I have to call and find out.

Tae: ooh I wish you luck

Zahara: thank you *lays her head on his shoulder* what are you going to be doing today?

Tae: I honestly have no idea

Zahara: *her phone starts ringing, checks it and it's their manager. Answers and she is told that her finals have been moved to tomorrow. After speaking to him* nevermind, my exams are tomorrow.

Tae: more time to study

Zahara: yeah sure...

Tae: you haven't studied

Zahara: no

Tae: *sighs*

Zahara: I don't need to. I remember everything.

Tae: oh okay that's go-*phone vibrates as he gets a text message, reads it, sends back an okay, stands up while pulling Zahara up, drags her toward the house*

Zahara: *notices that everything off the table is cleaned off* wait who cleaned I was going to do that? Wait! Where are you going with me?

Tae: *doesn't answer, just keeps walking, walks in the house and up to Zahara's bedroom* get changed

Zahara: changed? For what? Where is everyone else?

Tae: just get changed

Zahara: into?

Tae: something nice but-aish let me choose it *walks into her closet*

Zahara: *follows him in*

Tae: *searching through all her clothing choosing out a different pieces of clothing and laying them out on the bed. Making outfits but then finally chooses one* I'll search for a pair of heels. I think heels will go best.

Zahara: *sits down on her bed, waiting for him*

Tae: *chooses a pair and hands them to her* go change into the outfit. I'll be right back. *walks out of her bedroom*

Zahara: *confused but does as told. Walks into her bathroom, locks the door, and begins to change into the outfit Taehyung picked out for her which is

She applies light makeup, sprays perfume on herself, and puts on the bracelet that Taehyung bought for her. Smiles as she looks at the bracelet and it gives her an idea. She quickly writes it down in her phone so she doesn't forget. She looks at herself in the mirror, and nods in satisfaction. She unlocks the door, and walks out of the bathroom to see Taehyung is a different outfit. Looking fine*

Taehyung: *smiles as he checks her outfit he chose* you look great. Now the car is waiting for us. Let's go.

Taera: *walk out of the bedroom, down the stairs and out the front door*

Tae: *opens the door for Zahara*

Zahara: *gets in with Taehyung following her in, shutting the door* so where are we going and where is everyone else?

Tae: *smiles as the driver begins to drive away, looking out the window* you'll see.
