You give them time to collect themselves by first introducing yourself to Jin and Jhope. You're not able to exchange a lot of words but you get the feeling that they anticipated meeting you at some point. Especially Jin. V is shy, as you expected. Surprisingly, Jimin is a little awkward too - maybe because you caught him at an embarrassing moment. Jungkook instantly reminds you of your younger brother back home - the nervous energy is the same.
"We've heard a lot about you!" he says enthusiastically while shaking your hand.
"Aww, really? From who?" you ask.
Silence.
Jimin giggles and turns away when you catch his eye. You look at him and then everyone - the question is genuine on your part - who on earth would talk "a lot" about you to them?
"Er - our CEO - he was talking about you the other day," RM explains quickly.
"Ah!" you nod, your eyebrows raised in disbelief. Did you really impress Bang PD that much in one meeting?
The door opens right then, distracting everyone from the awkward moment.
"Ah, the food is here!" RM exclaims.
Everyone sits down in a circle with a variety of dishes in the center. You grab an omelet and toast, along with a tiny amount of black bean rice. RM and Jhope who are sitting on either side of you keep offering you more and more dishes.
"I swear I'm not shy when it comes to food - I'll take what I need," you laugh.
"Me too," says Jungkook. You both do a high five.
"How do you like Seoul so far, Y/N?" RM asks.
"I've literally only been to my Airbnb, the airport, and this building. So far it's pretty amazing."
"She needs a tour!" Jin exclaims, glancing at Suga for a split second longer than necessary.
"I sure do," you reply, your full attention on your toast.
"Are you going to buy a house here?" Jhope asks.
"I'm not sure - I'm here often these days, but then I don't know where I'll be later..."
"Do you want to buy my house?" Jungkook asks suddenly, making everyone giggle.
"Why? Is there something wrong with it?"
"Yes - NO!" he stammers.
Everyone bursts into laughter at that.
"Aniyo! I misunderstood!" Jungkook is red.
"Nope, she got you," Suga adds, laughing.
"Yah! Eat some more, no," Jin says. You almost respond until you realize he's talking to Suga, not you. Even you noticed that he took too little on his plate. Jin exchanges a look with Jhope, who adds, "Why aren't you eating, Yoongi-ah?"
Suga doesn't respond.
"Have some galbi..." RM takes some grilled ribs and puts them on Suga's plate.
He scowls and says, "I don't like it."
You, who's been watching the exchange with some interest, snap without thinking, "Don't like it? What are you - twelve?"
Everyone stares at you. Suga simply blinks. Someone from the macknae line is stifling a giggle. Nobody - nobody ever - dares to scold Suga.
"I mean," you try to repair the situation, "you eat some things 'cus you need to, irrespective of likes and dislikes. A good breakfast means a good day, and a bad one - or not having one - means a bad day. It's basic knowledge..." you mutter.
"She's right," Jhope says then adds to you, "he doesn't listen to anyone."
"I can imagine," you nod.
Suga's eyebrows are high enough to disappear into his beanie at this point. He eats the ribs without a word. V and Jimin, you notice, are the ones giggling.
You blush slightly. You didn't intend to reprimand him - definitely not in a way that showed concern. You weren't concerned about him, were you?
"So Y/N shii," V addresses you in a dramatic tone, "to what do we owe the pleasure of your company?" He enunciates each English word carefully - and combined with his accent - the effect is quite grandiose. You giggle.
"I'd say - RM's good manners and-," you glance at Suga who's busy with his plate, "-dumb luck."
Suga clunks down a fork.
"What?" you ask him. "We both know you didn't want me here."
You know you can tease him among them. This is his safe space.
"When did I -!" he protests.
"I'm just surprised RM found him with an actual human being," Jin laughs.
"I thought he'd be in his recording studio as usual," RM replies.
"I'm not always there..." Suga growls.
"You live in that room, Suga," you say, "no don't deny it, I've been seeing you in the same sweatshirt ever since you returned -" you stop because you end up giggling so hard at his exasperated expression.
"He's going to kill us later," Jungkook whispers.
"So, what are you working on, Y/N?" RM asks, changing the topic before they incur any more of Suga's wrath.
"My next album," you reply. Ugh, you had forgotten that you had to send the demos to Seyeon.
"Nice!" V says.
"Cool!" Jimin quips in.
The automatic responses make you laugh. "Yeah it would be except it's a mess right now- " you regret saying that instantly. It's true, but seriously. Why did you reveal that, Y/N?
"Why?" Jimin asks.
"Well - because - for one, I just can't write, and when I do - I don't like it. I'm in a slump," you frown into your food.
"Aigoo - you'll get out of it," Jhope gives a reassuring smile.
"I do this thing - I don't know if it'll help," RM begins, "I go back to the old songs that I never released. Really old ones."
"My old songs suck," you say.
He laughs. "Mine too. But they get my mind working sometimes."
"Well, it's worth a shot," you chuckle.
It's a strange morning, you think. You woke up stressed about work - it felt like you had reached the end of something. You were so scared that that something was your ability to write music. And yet here, with these people, you felt reassured. It wasn't something you couldn't conquer. And while at it, you could still enjoy breakfast with a group of seven people you hardly knew. Perhaps your emotions were fickle, or perhaps these boys had a way of making people comfortable. Maybe it was a bit of both.
Your phone rings, interrupting your reverie. It's an alarm for your next meeting of the day. Luckily, it's a fun one. You finish the rest of your breakfast quickly and say your goodbyes.
"See you all around!" The smile you give them comes straight from your heart.
You leave the room feeling energetic. The breakfast was good, the conversation even better. That thing about Bang PD talking about you was still hard to believe though.
"Y/N!"
You spin around with a palm on your heart on hearing Suga yell your name.
