A few hours later, once we finished the delicious meal JooHyun cooked for us, we made our way to the living room to watch a movie. It had been a while since both of us saw any movie so we selected the most recent one which had become a huge hit.

However, it proved to be quite useless as both us basically ignored the movie and were talking about everything and anything. She was telling me how her music show recordings were going on and how drama proposals were coming in but she wasn't quite sure if she will take it up. I told her about our album and the songs but din't give her any spoilers. She was quite upset about it.

My back had started aching after sitting for long so we soon retired to my bedroom. She was quite hesitant but then slowly became comfortable. We both were huddled on the bed with her sitting upright against the bed, her legs stretched out, and I had conveniently made her lap my pillow. Her fingers were slowly combing my hair, making goosebumps appear all over my body.

There were many romance drama's I have seen in my youth but to be experiencing it with my own eyes is just another bliss. The sun had set long ago and the room had became dark. The only sounds that could be heard was of our breaths and the crickets outside. I had sent Odeng and Omuk to my parents house as due to my schedule I was not home much to look after them. Therefore, even their presence was quite missing in the house. Soon, JooHyun had fell asleep and I slowly tucked her in, making sure not to wake her up.

This is exactly how the boys found us the moment they came home. 

Yoongi had walked into the room but was startled to see us. I silenced him before he could make any noise and he silently made his way around the room collecting some clothes for a shower. Once making sure that she is comfortable and fast asleep, I followed Yoongi out of the room. 

In the living room, Jungkook and hobi are lying on the sofa probably waiting for their turn to shower while Jimin and Taehyung hit the showers. Namjoon came through the main door the same time I came out of the room. I look at the clock in the room and am surprised to see the time. It's past midnight now.

"Hyung, how are you doing?" Namjoon asks, the moment he dumps his bags near the door. 

"I'm fine now." I say, taking a seat next to a nearly-knocked out Jungkook. He is quick to make my leg his pillow as he stretches himself on the sofa. "The medicines helped. How was practice? Is there anything I missed?"

He shakes his head and ruffles his bangs. "Not much, Hyung. We din't go ahead with the choreography. Just perfected what we did today. You just missed one vocal class but Sejin Hyung told me that he will talk to your trainer."

 I nod and slightly nudge Jungkook to wake up when I see Taehyung coming out of the bathroom. He lazily gets up and drags his feet towards the bathroom. Taehyung makes a bee-line to the kitchen.

"Did you eat dinner?" I ask them and Hobi nods his head. "We did, hyung. But that was long ago. I am so hungry!"

Before I can respond, Taehyung shouts from the kitchen. "Wahhh Hyung! Did you cook today?"

Hobi perks up at the sound of food and runs to the kitchen. 

"I din't. JooHyun did." I say, making my way towards the kitchen. "She thought we all would appreciate a home-cooked food after practice so made extra for all of you."

"Wow! She is an angel!" 

Taehyung and Hobi quickly fill up plates and take a seat near at the dinning table. Jimin walks out with a towel wrapped around his head and makes way to me.

"Hyung! How are you now?" He asks.

"I'm good now. Don't worry too much." I say, placing my hands on his shoulder and steering him towards the dining table. "Eat something and then sleep. I'll send in the others as soon as they are done with their showers."

"Hyung, did you eat?"

"Yeah I ate. We had dinner together."

 "Guys, don't eat everything. Leave something for the rest."

"Okay, Hyung." The three of them say as I make my way out of the kitchen.

I slump down on the sofa again and look at Namjoon. "Namjoon-ah. There is food in the kitchen. Go eat some."

He shakes his head and looks up from his phone. "I'm full, hyung. I ate later than them." I nod and lean my head back and close my eyes.

I hear Yoongi coming out of the shower and Namjoon steers him towards the kitchen. I keep my eyes close as the boys make weird noises as they eat the food and appreciate how good the food is.

"Hyung, I got called in today."

Namjoon's words wake me up and I sit up straight. I just stare at him, waiting for him to continue. Yoongi walks back into the room with a plate and quickly takes a seat as soon as he hears what Namjoon said.

"They are up to something, Hyung. They told me that it doesn't have anything to do with the group and not to worry but I could see a file named Jin and Irene." He says, confusion written all over his face. "I couldn't ask anything because manager hyung called me but I don't have a good feeling about this hyung."

I frown and look at the carpet blankly. Anything could be inside that file. From our simple profiles to the future plans the company has for us. I let out a deep sigh and rub my face.

"We can't do anything because we don't know what is inside it. It can be something good for us or something bad for us." Yoongi says, mouthful of food.

We fall silent again after that, the only sound being Yoongi quietly eating his food and the rest in the kitchen eating noisily as they argue about which idol has the best dancing skills.

That night we all slept soundly. Yoongi had chosen to sleep on the sofa as JooHyun was in the room and din't want to alarm her once she wakes up. The rest had crashed as soon as they finished eating. All of us were very tired and no one had any difficulty to fall asleep.

While one part of me was tempted to take up the empty side of my bed, I decided otherwise and crashed on Yoongi's bed. Possibly the hardest decision ever.

The next morning, I woke up to a loud scream and with sleep still in my eyes, I kicked off the blanket and ran outside. There I saw the same sight I had seen last night. JooHyun was behind the counter again cutting up some fruits. I immediately noticed my hoodie she probably borrowed. But this time her expression was of shock and embarrassment.

I spin to look at where she is looking and there stands Jimin and Jungkook; both of them shirtless as they cover themselves behind Jimin's bedroom door and peek from behind it.

Hearing the scream that probably came from Jimin, Namjoon and Hoseok also stumbled out of their room and froze as they noticed JooHyun in the kitchen. All of us stared at each other before all of them stared at me with a questioning stare did I realize that last night apart from Yoongi, no one knew that JooHyun had crashed in my room.

"Ah...well...guys...sorry." I say, embarrassed and guilty as they stared at me in disbelief.

-----***----

It was almost noon when JooHyun's manager came to pick he up for her schedule. The boys who were at home as our practice started in late afternoon, spent the whole morning spending time with JooHyun. After asking for multiple signatures and pictures for their friends and family, they spent the time getting to know her.

I was sentenced to silence the moment I tried to hog her time in offense of not telling them that my girlfriend was staying over. I sulked in the living room as the boys hogged her time, asking all about her, praising her stages and songs and thanking her for making delicious dinner and breakfast for them and how she din't have to but she still did.

"Yah! Even I helped her make breakfast to you pigs." I said, "Thank me too."

"Ah Hyung. We all know why you helped her." Jungkook taunted. "And besides, Noona cooks way better than you!"

Aish, this ungrateful bunny!

"Nae, Hyung. You are no where near close to her." Teased Taehyung.

I glare at them and open my mouth to say something when Joohyun places her hand on my knee, efficiently shutting me up. 

"I am so glad that all of you liked my food." She says, smiling wide at them. This diverts their attention in a minute and I scoff at their favoritism. To think they would side with their hyung who practically raised them.

Her phone beeped and I nod my head when she looks at me. We both get up and I pick up her bag. "I have to go now. My manager is down." She says, bowing slightly. 

The boys immediately get up and bow back to her.

"Thank you for everything you have done for us." Says Yoongi, who was the quietest of all. "Thank you for keeping our hyung happy."

All of stood there in shock looking at Yoongi. This was probably the only thing he must have spoken to her after the signatures festival they had. While my mind was unable to comprehend what he just said, Hoseok and jimin clutched their chest in mock-pain and fell on the ground being all dramatic. Taehyung and Jungkook curled their fingers cringing and Namjoon just nodded sympathetically at the now embarrassed Yoongi.

I laughed at their overacting selves and patted Yoongi on the back and wasted no time steering JooHyun out of the door.

We took the elevator down and I noticed JooHyun being very quite. I turned towards her and titled her head up, my eyebrows raising. 

Her eyes are moist with some tears and immediately I understand. I bring her close to me and hug her. She wraps her arms around me and buries her head in my chest. We stand there for a while till the elevator dings. 

We step out hand in hand and are immediately blinded with the flashlights. My body works in reflex and I hide JooHyun behind me, shielding her from the view of at least seven reporters who were shouting questions that I couldn't even bother decoding.

Thankfully, My manager walks around the corner and seeing the situation and barges himself through the crowd. He makes way for us as we rush our way to the parking lot where the security stops them. 

As soon as JooHyun climbs the car, I quickly check if her manager is in the car and lean in to place a kiss her cheek. "Let me know when you reach home, okay?" She nods and I close the door. We both wait till the car leaves the compound before we make our way to the now empty lobby. 

We enter the elevators and stay in tense silence before hyung asks me. 

"You recognized them din't you?"

I nod. "Yes hyung. They were not reporters."

He nods back and sighs. 

"Sasaeng fans."
