"Is the water boiling yet?" Taehyung shouted from the couch.

I put away my phone and checked the water. As I lifted the pot lid it steamed.

"It is." I shouted back.

"Then put the ramen in."

"I know how to make ramen, I'm not dumb." I huffed loud enough so he could hear.

"Yes you are."

How am I going to live with Tae?
He's like an annoying younger brother, yet I'm the younger one?

"Jimiin!?" I shouted at the black haired man, sitting on the couch next to Taehyung, both of them playing a video game on the playstation.

"Stop mocking her Tae, she's vulnerable, she can't handle it." Jimin laughed, nudging Tae

I rolled my eyes, "That's not what I meant."

I turned around to Jin, who was fully engaged in cutting some onions, "Jin, I'll set the table." I said, not wanting to make ramen anymore.

"Sure, but only six. Yoongi and Jungkookie won't be home until tomorrow." He spoke, leaving his onions and opened the ramen to pour them in the steaming pot.

"Okay sure. Wait, why not?" I asked curiously.

"They're in Busan, recording some-"

"Haruuu!!" A loud voice interrupted Jin and I turned around, only to be welcomed into a hug.

"Ho-b-bi." I managed to say as he squeezed the living shit out of me.

"Are you eating dinner with us today?" Namjoon entered the kitchen too after closing the front door.

I exhaled deeply as Hoseok let go of me and panted, "I-I am."

And I'm gonna stay here for a while too...

"Oh my, who's this little guy?" My attention switched to the dog jumping up my legs. I bended down to pet the small very fluffy pup.

"That's Rap Mon, my dog." Namjoon said.

He named his dog after himself?
This guy seriously never fails to surprise me with his adorable childlike soul

The white fluff ball licked my face, making me giggle.

"Monnie, stop it!" Namjoon called and the dog immediately ran to his owner attacking him with kisses instead.

"Why didn't I know you had a dog." I laughed.

Namjoon laughed, "I don't know. I don't post that much about him as he stays with my parents most of the time. Now that they're going on a holiday, don't ask me where to, he's gonna stay here for the next few days."

Rhetorical question Joon, but okay

"Makes sense." I said and smiled to be polite.

"You just got home from practice?" I asked.

Dumb question as I had been home all day and they obviously just arrived.

"Hmm." Namjoon nodded his head with a smile, getting up from the floor.

Jimin's face showed up behind Namjoon's rock solid body. The slightly shorter man put his hands on his older brother's shoulder, moving him aside.

Oh yeah cause it would be terrible to take a step to the left and walk past him...?

"Actually..." Jimin started but was cut off by Jin, "Haru's gonna stay here for a while!"

"Wait, really!?" Hoseok exclaimed, his voice rising sweetly at the end. His eyes flickered from Jimin to me and back to Jimin again.

Jimin and I both nodded with a smile.

"Exciting right?" Jin said and looked at Namjoon.

Namjoon used to scare me. I mean, the first time I met him he seemed as if he didn't want me to join them on tour. This was kind of the same situation. But I had gotten to know that Joon was just as big of a fluff ball as his dog and even softer than most of the other boys.

His lips curled up into a big, soft, close-mouthed smile.*

"Right." He smiled at me and turned to Jin, who was doing the cooking all alone now, "Do you need help with anything?"

"I'm the chef, I'll finish it myself!" Jin puffed out his chest and went to stir the ramen.

"Joon, you can help me set the table." I smiled.

"I'll help!" Hoseok said and grabbed the bowls I had just picked up out of my hands. I laughed.

"What did you give him?" Jimin whispered to Namjoon, referring to Hoseok being even more energetic than he normally was.

"He slept the whole ride home. He's recharged."

"Is the food done soon?" Taehyung wailed from the couch, making us turn to him.

"Ya! I'm the chef, I'll tell you when dinner is ready!" Jin spoke and Taehyung threw his head back in impatience.

Since when did Jin turn into Gordon Ramsay?

"Jiminah, come play with me again." Tae whined.

Jimin jumped to the couch, grabbing the controller again and they started another game.

The next day I woke up to my always annoying alarm clock. The room was empty, but I heard ruffling outside the door.

I sat up in the bed, rubbing my eyes and stretching my body before getting up and heading to the bathroom across Jimin's room.

Firstly I washed my face, then did the rest of my bathroom routine and went back to Jimin's room to get dressed.

"Good morning, Princess." Jimin said with a smile, wrapping his arm around my waist and giving me a kiss quickly before he left the room again, "I have to go, have a great day."

"You too." I said, mostly to myself as Jimin had already exited the room.

I got dressed in my uniform, noticing I only had brought a sweater and two pair of pants besides that.

Well I'm not gonna stay here for long anyway
I can maybe drop by on my way home from school.. My parents shouldn't be home by that time, as long as I don't get detention

I caught myself standing still and doing nothing for way too long and made my way to the kitchen.

Glancing at my phone I noticed that I was going to be late... I was about an hour bus ride away from school and the class started in exactly one hour.

And even five seconds late for me was probably gonna be one hour detention, considering my teacher's thrill for making me stay extra.

I grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl on the kitchen counter. I heard heavy footsteps behind me and turned around to meet Namjoon's face and morning hair.

"Oh, Joon, good morning."

"What?" He looked up, rubbing his sleepy eyes which met my face, "Oh, good morning." A smile made its way to his lips.

"What are you doooing?" I asked crossing my fingers he would say nothing.

"I just woke up. Right now I think I'll grab some breakfast and the go read-"

"Great! Can you pleeeease drive me to school before eating?" I begged with big eyes.

He gave me a wry smile, shrugging.

"Please Joon, I'm gonna be late and my teacher is always after me." I continued.

"Haru, I would love to help you-"

"Thank you!! Please now, my class starts in.." I glanced at my phone again to check the time, "55 minutes. We have to hurry." I got up from the chair.

"Haru let me finish... I would love to help you, but I can't drive." He spoke, rubbing the back of his head.

"That's okay, I can!"

I rushed to my room and grabbed my bag.

Shit. The books. Some of the books are still in my room at home...
Guess I'll HAVE to drop by my house today..

I shook my head and ran out the room again to the front door.

"Wait Haru, how will I get back home?" Namjoon said, still standing on the exact same spot.

"I uh... uhmm.." I spent a lot of energy, trying to figure out what to do.

I mean, I couldn't just take their car. Or could I...?

"Who's running through the house sounding like an elephant? I had planned to sleep in today." Taehyung showed up from the corner of a hallway.

"Tae! You'll go with me!" I exclaimed and went to grab his wrist and pull him with me.

"Hyung?" Tae's voice sounded behind me.

"Just go with her." Namjoon answered and finally I was on my way to school.
