"Get inside! What took you so long?!" Omma shouted at us as soon as we arrived home.

"Mianhae... th-there are a lot of people at the store."

"Yeah," Jimin nodded at Yoongi's excuse.

"Go straight to the backyard now, everyone's already there."

We did as we were told and headed straight to the backyard, pretending to act normally as if nothing happened earlier. We'll talk about this some other time and the most important goal is to not get suspicious. Whatever happens. And one more thing, we've got to inform Taehyung about our encounter with Lilac and Mason.

We spent the remaining time waiting for twelve am until we had a count down from ten to zero. We took a lot of pictures too. Actually it's a lot more fun right now since Hoseok's family is also here with us, their family is really fun to be with which made us forget our problems for the mean time. We celebrated new year just as planned.

I took my phone from my pocket as it began to ring. Taehyung?

Oh god.

I almost forgot. The video call!

Looking around, I found Jimin and Seokjin chatting with each other while Yoongi and Hoseok are also talking. I signalled for Yoongi to go near me as I accept the video call from Taehyung. I smiled at the camera and waved at him.

"Hey!" I nervously muttered before breaking into a smile.

[Noona! Huh? Gwaenchana? Why do you look uneasy?] Taehyung immediately asked.

"I'm just not sure if this plan will work and also, we have to tell you something. Tonight's not the right time though, let's meet tomorrow?"

[Oh sure.]

"Happy new year!" Yoongi poked his head in front of the phone.

[Happy new year hyung! So, what's up? Are you ready?" He asked us two. I sighed and smiled at them.

"We should not waste anymore time."

"I'm gonna call him then." Yoongi turned around and walked towards Jimin. Taehyung began to wander around the mansion too, looking for Da Hee.

"First step is you will go to the comfort room and ask Da Hee to hold the phone for you,"

[While Yoongi hyung will pretend to ask you to go near him, and ask for Jimin to hold your phone for a minute.]

"Great." I answered. We already talked about this, and I hope everything will go well. We don't want to get caught or else it's game over.

[Found her.] Taehyung made an awed face and fastened his pace towards Da Hee. Seconds later, she's already on the screen.

There was a moment of awkward silence as I just stared at the camera while she blinked because of confusion. I broke into a small smile.

"A-Annyeong..."

My hands began to sweat just by the thought of her ignoring me, but I was taken aback when she slowly took the phone from Taehyung's hand and placed it in front of her face.

[Unnie,] She smiled at me. That sweet, angelic smile that we all missed. And I know, Jimin missed her the most.

[Happy new year!] Taehyung shouted from behind her and jumped excitedly. Meanwhile, I saw Jimin walking towards us with a bright smile on his face. Clueless about what's about to happen.

"Is that Taehyung?" He asked and my heart just skipped a beat. I looked through the phone and luckily, Da Hee is eyeing another direction which made it easier to signal Taehyung. I gave him a look and in just a split second he stole the phone from Da Hee.

"Yep. He's here." I handed him my phone. Now is the start of the plan. Anytime from now Yoongi should be-

"Jangmi! I need your help here."

That's what I thought.

I turned to Jimin and pretended to excuse myself from the two of them. "Taehyung-ah, I'll be back. Happy new year!" I greeted and he just gave me a wide smile.

Daebak. I can't believe we're cornering our two friends right now just for this. I hope everything turns out right. It's for the two of them anyways.

"Okay. The good news is that Da Hee isn't angry at all, she just talked to me." I whispered at Yoongi while pretending to help him make some iced tea.

"What about the bad news?"

"Nothing..." I trailed off. "...for now."

He nodded and silently continued what we were doing.

I'm getting a bit paranoid right now. My hands are lowkey trembling because of mixed emotions. Nervousness, excitement, happiness. I don't know. Oh my gosh please make this work, I want to see the both of them happy again. I know Da Hee's been having a hard time too just like Jimin. That's what Taehyung always said. He said that Da Hee wasn't a negative girl, she always smiles, but then she changed because she misses someone so bad.

Hoseok walked towards us with a questioning look on his face.

"Who is he talking to?" He asked, referring to Jimin. Yoongi and I exchanged looks before shifting our gaze to Hoseok.

"Is it a girl?"

"U-huh. I walked past him and saw her face..."

"What did you saw?" Yoongi asked.

"She was crying and smiling at the same time..."

I glanced at Jimin for a while and saw in his eyes how amazed he was. I saw sadness too, and also joy. Oh my god they're literally talking to each other? So the plan worked??

"That's all?" Yoongi continued.

"Nope. I heard Jimin say 'I miss you' and she said the same."

With that said, I immediately covered my mouth with both of my hands and screamed like a teenager. Yoongi who is smiling widely and Hoseok who is completely baffled watched me jumping out of joy.

Suddenly, Hoseok's face brightened as he gave me a surprised look. "Is that Taehyung's sister??"

"Yes!! How did you know?"

"We talked about her last christmas. Jimin even made a letter for her."

"Kyaaaah!"

"Wait where is he?" Yoongi asked. I stopped fangirling on my place and looked at the direction where Jimin was standing earlier, but he's not there anymore.

Wow. He's literally gone that fast.

Jimin

((Now playing: Scenery by Kim Taehyung))

I headed outside the house while still carrying the phone and searched for a place to sit.

Damn. My hands are trembling.

[So...] she smiled and wiped the tear from her left cheek.

"Happy new year." I greeted. She giggled and greeted back at me. I missed her, I missed everything about her. I badly missed her giggle, her smile, her voice, her eyes, everything. And it's killing me.

I have so much to say but no words came out of my mouth. I don't know where to start, I don't know what to say. I'm not ready for this. And all I know is that I want to go near her and hug her tightly.

My right hand made its way to my chest as I clutch my shirt hard, my heart hurts so bad right now.

She looked up at the sky and smiled while bits of snow swiftly falls on the ground, some are stuck on her hair, and I just watched her enjoy the view from their balcony.

[Aren't you excited about the spring season?] She beamed. [I miss our colorful garden.]

"I love spring, especially the cherry blossoms."

[They're beautiful. But I'll miss the snow too.]

"Of course." I agreed. "Have you received any presents already?"

She pursed her lips and looked down. I was taken aback when she removed her scarf and showed me a familiar necklace. She smiled at the camera while lifting the ring to show it to me.

[I wore it.]

Oh... yes she did. And here I am thinking that she shut it in a drawer right after receiving it.

[Thank you.] I couldn't help but to grin widely at her. I tilted my head to the side and showed the same necklace I am wearing. Her mouth formed an 'o' as her eyes sparkled.

[It's a matching necklace! Daebak~]

I watched her reaction towards our necklaces. It amuses me to see this kind of reaction from her when all I thought is that I won't get to experience any of these anymore. I thought I'll never have a chance to talk to her again, I thought she's still angry, I thought she already forgot me. She's always in my mind right after waking up until the moment I go to sleep, and I thought it'll stay like that forever. But here we are, talking to each other on new year.

I've never been so dramatic in my life but she has a way to make me do things I've never done before and she has a way to make me feel things I've never felt before.

[Where are you?] She asked and tried to look behind me. I stood up and showed her noona's house.

"We're currently living in noona's place."

Her smile slowly faded and sadness was painted over her face. I sat back down and frowned. "What's wrong?"

[Nothing,] She scoffed. [I remember the times you guys were here and I miss all of that. But I don't have the right to feel sad because I was the one who kicked you out. Weird, right?]

"It's not your fault. Don't blame yourself."

[Mianhae. If only I listened to your explanatio-]

"We miss you too." I cut her off.

We know that you are angry at us and we understand that, and we all miss you, halmeoni and harabeoji, Taehyung. We even wanted to say thank you because you are the ones who became our family when we're all alone. But we don't know how to.

"We really do... especially me." I looked away. "I missed you a lot."

[Me too.]

I looked back at her and was taken aback by what she said. She seemed surprised as well.

[Oh uh, I mean, you should come by some time... b-because actually halmeoni and harabeoji are searching for you.]

"Mianhae. S-Sure, we will visit."

No one talked after that. She continued to watch the view in front of her then catch the snowfall while I did the same. I stared at the beautiful view. I stared at her.

"Anyway, how's your studies?" I broke the silence.

[Well, still learning.] She shrugged then placed her palm on her cheek and batted her eyes cutely. [Annyeonghaseyo, Kim Da Hee imnida! Your future pediatrician!]

Future pediatrician. Daebak. She suits that kind of work. I'm sure she'll be able to interact with kids easily because of her soft and friendly image. I could even imagine her wearing a-

[Jiminie?]

I blinked twice and looked at the screen in front of me. Da Hee's trying to call my attention. My smile also disappeared. Wait. No shit. Don't tell me I'm smiling like a pabo while watching her the whole time?

[Say something.] She let out a laugh. [What do you think?]

"You know you have my support ever since before." I raised my eyebrows. "You'll look good in your own lab coat."

[I'll be the pediatrician of your future child.] She saluted.

"My future child?" I repeated.

[U-huh.]

"Then who's the mother?"

[I don't know. It's up to you.]

"Welp, I already know who she is."

She was taken aback by what I said and her eyes widened a bit. I just smirked at her cute response.

I bit my lip and looked away for the second time. "Actually...I'm talking to her right now."

I looked back at the screen and expected to see a shy or flustered Da Hee but she was already gone. She tilted her phone away from her face! Oh great. I want to see her reaction though...

[Ehem.] I heard her clear her throat after a minute as she face her phone again. I just shook my head while smiling like an idiot. I'm literally smiling like a crazy boy. I don't know, talking to her makes me happy.

I missed her...

I miss her so much.

And I need to talk to her everyday just like this.

And if only I could run towards her right now and hold her close.

"Hey..."

[Hmm?]

I don't know what just came in my mind right now but please, I hope it goes well. If I want to see her, I can't just sit here and do nothing. I don't want to regret again anymore. From now on, I'll take every chance I have whenever I'm with her. Just like trying to ask her out. Phew.

"About the upcoming spring. I-I was wondering if... you want to go see the cherry blossom park with me at the city?"

I know we just got to talk again earlier, we haven't even talked in person, things aren't that clear yet. But still, I want to try.

My heart began to beat faster when I saw the different look in her eyes. It's as if she doesn't know what to say. Maybe she still doesn't trust us after all... And I can't blame her.

"I-It's okay if you don't want to. I'm not forcing you." I pursed my lips and faked a smile. "Mianhae."

[I... I'll think about it.]

My breath hitched and quickly looked at her with wide eyes. "Huh?"

[If we will go... can you bring oppa and unnie with you? A-And I'll bring Taehyungie too.]

"Sure!"

Fuck I over reacted. I immediately composed myself and cleared my throat. "Sure, as long as you'll be there."

[Yeah?] She giggled in excitement.

Phew. I hope she'll go. I badly wanted to see her. Please please I hope she accepts...

After talking about that cherry blossom trip, we continued chatting about random things and I almost lost track of time. I spent an hour sitting here outside the house while she decided to enter her room since it's really cold. I didn't even cared about the people who walked pass by while staring at me because I was smiling like a teenager. We talked a lot about things that don't even matter, topics that doesn't make sense at all. But still, I loved every second of it.

[Hey, halmeoni and harabeoji must be searching for me now.] She said. That's when I realized we've been talking for too long already- not really long for me though. I want to talk to her all night.

"Oh, right." I stood up and rubbed the back of my neck. "I forgot, it's new year. And I'm holding noona's phone!" What if she's searching for it??

[Oof. We spent an hour talking. But I should be going now.]

"...Yeah, of course. Happy new year."

This one hour felt like a minute for me. Am I being selfish if I say I don't want to end the call?

[Jiminie. Don't frown.] She pouted then giggled cutely. [We will talk again.]

"I'm frowning?"

Shit.

"We'll talk again?" I continued asking.

[Nae~ good night and happy new year!]

"Happy new year." I answered while trying my best to contain my smile. "Sweet dreams."

And I hope you'll dream about me just like how I dream about you.

[Annyeong.] She whispered softly and brought her phone close to her face. I did the same and now I felt like we're in front of each other. I want it to be real, but I'm fine with how we are now.

"Annyeong." I answered. She ended the call. As soon as it's over, I closed my eyes and whispered to myself.

"Saranghae."

God knows that I miss her so much. God knows how I love her. And I wish to see her again, I'm wishing at the stars just like how I did ever since the day I met her. I wish to see her again. Jebal.

After a couple of minutes I decided to enter the house and ran to the backyard excitedly. I searched for them and found Yoongi hyung and noona talking to each other. I ran towards them like a child and hugged them both.

Jangmi

"Noona! Hyung!"

"Where's my phone? Thief!" I shouted at him.

"Here you go. Hehehe." Jimin happily returned the phone. I stared at him for a while and saw the bright look on his face. That itself is a sign that our plan was a success.

"Wow. You look... cheerful. Did something happen?" Yoongi pretended to ask. Jimin answered with an eye-smile.

"I know that guys don't talk that much but seeing the way you act right now, you've got to tell us everything. What happened?" I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Pfft. Arasso." He ran his fingers through his hair while trying to hide his smile. Look how happy he is! Kyeoptaaa!

"Okay. Let's have a seat first." Yoongi chuckled. Jimin nodded at us and immediately made his way towards the chairs. As soon as Jimin turned around from us, Yoongi and I exchanged looks.

"Happy new year." He shrugged and wrapped his arms around me before planting a soft kiss on my forehead.

"Happy new year!" I proudly greeted back then we walked towards the tables where Jimin is.

It felt very nice to see him smiling like this. Compared to how he was before, it's really different. He seemed sad, gloomy, and we can feel the emptiness in his heart. But now, look at his baby smile. His happiness is back. The happiness that only Da Hee can give. And I hope it continues.

🌸🔪🌸
