Taehyung stood in front of the door. Clutching the brush and toothpaste he had gotten for her, he used his other hand to open the doorknob slightly. He expected Nana to be awake but he was greeted by slight snores which echoed through the whole room. He walked in so her sprawled across the bed, a leg hanging from the edge while her blanket was flung all over the place. She was one messy sleeper.

He carefully placed the products by the table before taking a moment to take a look at her. He picked up the blanket and covered her with it while lifting her up slightly and placing her towards the center so her legs were no longer awkwardly hanging mid air.

As he put her down, he took a moment to look at her. This was the calmest the both of them had ever been around each other and it was only because Nana was sleeping. Seeing her upclose, he realized how beautiful she actually was. Those features, the hair it reminded him of someone precious he had lost years ago.

He extended a hand as he grazed her cheek and a smile formed on his face. Tucking the hair that had fallen on her face, he stood up before walking away and closing the door behind him.

I woke up the next morning feeling groggy and tired. As I opened my eyes, for a moment I was taken aback by my unfamiliar surroundings until the events from last night played in my mind.

I stretched my arms and yawned as my eyes fell on a new toothbrush and toothpaste lying on the table. How did this come here? Probably Hobi must have gotten it. I smiled as I picked it up and went into the bathroom to refresh myself. After carefully folding the blankets and returning them to the cupboard, I stepped out.

It was empty until I heard a loud thud in the kitchen. I ran to see their friend who had been hurt earlier doing something. He saw me and paused.

"Oh you must be Nana", he said with a cheeky grin and I nodded. "I am Jungkook", he replied.

"Oh Jungkook-ssi, how are you feeling now? I heard from Hoseok and Taehyung that you had an accident"

"Accident? Oh yeah- yeah right. I had an accident. I am fine now"

Strange - I thought to myself. Why did he stutter?

"Uh, do you need anything? Can I do something for you. You must rest", I offered.

"I just wanted some breakfast", he said shyly. "Pancakes, but I don't know how to make them"

I giggled. "I know how to, I can make them for you"

"You can? But, I.. I mean, I don't want to make you do something for me. You are a guest here and you should first have your breakfast.."

"Jungkook-ssi", I cut him off. "It's okay. I don't mind. Plus I really like cooking things for people. I would love to make pancakes for you"

"Really?"

"Yes really"

"Ah Nana-ssi you are the sweetest. I can help you out", he said enthusiastically. "You don't have to help me. You can just sit here and guide me where the ingredients and pans are"

He nodded and propelled himself on the kitchen counter. Taehyung had a huge kitchen and it was beautiful. Lined with white marble and stainless steel, I was having a moment working here. The pans and pots he used were all top Michelin restaurant quality and don't even get me started on the knife set.

"Hyung also cooks very well", Jungkook chimed in, munching on chocolate chips. "He does?", I asked. "Then why doesn't he cook at home and keep annoying me by coming to our restaurant?"

Jungkook paused and so did I. I shouldn't have said that in front of him. I mean they are friends after all. We stared at each other before Jungkook burst into a laugh. "I see you don't like Hyung"

"What's to like in him anyway?", I muttered under my breath.

"Aye, don't say that. He is nice", he nudged me slightly.

"He is not. HE IS ABSOLUTELY NOT. Do you know what he has done to me? He is hell bent on ruining my academics. He gave me C for a report and for the same report he gave a stupid girl who plagiarized it from buyer's reviews on Amazon an A. He keeps targeting me in class and always insults me. He uses his personal dislike as a weapon and..."

Before I could speak further, Jungkook slammed a hand on my mouth. "He is here. He just parked his car. Shh, you don't want to let him hear about you bitching about him in his own house now, do you?"

I shook my head and he let go of me. "How did you know. I mean.. he is not going to able to hear us from 60 floors below"

He placed a finger on his lips and I shut up instantly.

"So Nana-ssi.. pancakes.. hmm, so do you add flour first or you add milk first or the order doesn't matter?", he asked and I narrowed my eyes. He shook my hand to answer him and I spoke.

"Uh flour.. flour first.. and then mix the chocolate chips and the cocoa.."

He gave me a thumbs up and I was so confused at this point. Just then the main door opened and both of us peeped out of the kitchen to see Taehyung. I was shook. Was this Jungkook guy psychic? How did he sense Taehyung's presence like that?

Taehyung walked into the kitchen where we were. For a moment, I was stunned at how good he looked. He was wearing a simple white blouse with wide leg black pants. His hair was a little messy - a complete contrast to his usual black coats and suits look. I felt a lump in my throat admitting it, but he looked like - Boyfriend material?

He saw me staring and I immediately looked away, staring intently at the pancake in front of me.

"What are you both doing?", he asked as he stepped closer.

"Making Pancakes", Jungkook said enthusiastically. "I wanted pancakes and Nana volunteered since I don't know how to cook"

"I am going to be outside", Jungkook said as he got down from the counter. "Let me know when they are done"

I nodded and he left, leaving the both of us alone. I flipped the pancake as Taehyung came and stood beside me. I felt his eyes on me which made me twitch uncomfortably.

"What?", I asked confused. "Nothing", he shrugged his shoulders. "Don't stare then, you creep"

"I am still your professor", he said leaning his body against the fridge. "What are you so rude for?"

"No you are not", I said. "We are off campus firstly. Second, even if we are in campus, I still don't consider you my professor. You are.. you are just someone whose class I am forced to sit in"

Taehyung chuckled. "Awww, you have so much anger in you, it's adorable"

"I will smack this pan in your face and then I won't be that adorable", I said through gritted teeth. "Really?", he stepped closer. "Try it", he said taking one more step closer. I panicked and stepped back. He took one more towards me. Lastly my back hit the counter and I had no space. He kept leaning closer until there was literally a couple of fingers worth of distance between us. I held my breath in, my eyes wide as he stared at me. It was like he was staring deep into my soul.

I was sure I was fire truck red right now - a phenomena which had given me away every time I talked to my crushes back in high school. He stepped even closer and the panic was evident in my face. He leaned in and I closed my eyes. Taehyung had to suppress a smile as he looked at the girl in front of him.

"You are cute when you get flustered", he whispered in my ears as he stepped away before popping in a strawberry in his mouth and walking back to the living room with an evil smirk on his face. I was still standing still, a hand on my heart which was beating crazy.

———•••———

Hoseok walked towards the cafe, as he raised his scarf to cover his face. Opening the door to the cafe, he walked to a secluded table at the end of the room. He sat himself in front of a person wearing a powder pink sweater.

The man smiled at him as he removed the scarf.

"How are you?"

"I am fine. What about you?", he asked to which the elder replied "Things have been tough but I am doing okay. So did you finally get in ?"

"I have managed to live with them and I keep an eye on her all the time"

The other man nodded as he took a sip of his scalding hot coffee. "Have the symptoms started?"

Hoseok nodded, a guilty look on his face. "They have and it's getting severe pretty fast. Usually the first month would only be an occasional nose bleed or mild migraine pain. But for her, it's severe. She has nose bleeds very frequently, sometimes even in her sleep. We have had two incidents so far when I have found her screaming in pain because of how much her head hurts. It..", he said a knot forming in his throat. "It is not supposed to be this bad. Even I find myself straining when healing her"

The other man looked down, guilt and heartbreak taking over him. "Do whatever you can, keep her safe these 6 months. Make sure she passes through it well"

Hoseok nodded. "There is something else too. Lucifer is around ". The one opposite to him raised an eyebrow. "Is he not required to go back to hell? He has been around for so long. People are not going to be happy knowing he isn't taking care of his hell"

Hoseok shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know about that. But funny thing is that he teaches Nana's class in university. They both don't get along at all. They are always bickering"

The man chuckled before his phone rang. He looked at the caller and his smile disappeared. "I need to leave Hoseok. I will contact you again. Take care of her for me", he said with pleading eyes.

"Don't worry Jin Hyung. Nothing is going to happen. I will take care of your daughter"
