As the morning sun began to bathe the mansion in its golden light, Hazel made her way downstairs, freshly dressed in a pretty outfit she and her mother had worn before moving in. They had been so caught up in the whirlwind of settling into their new home that they hadn't had the chance to retrieve their luggage the day before. But now, with everything in place, the house felt even more like home.


"Good morning, guys!" Hazel's voice was a cheerful melody that filled the grand foyer.


Her greeting was met with smiles from everyone gathered around the breakfast table. The family had come together for the first meal of the day, their faces bright with the promise of new beginnings.


Jeong-ho, his eyes twinkling with paternal pride, addressed the group. "So children, your mom and I have decided that we should have some family time. How about we plan to hang out together this evening?"

Yoongi, always the pragmatic one, tilted his head in curiosity. "Sounds good, Dad. But where should we go?"

Jeong-ho considered this for a moment before responding. "We'll start from the mansion at four o'clock. You all can decide on the destinations, as long as we stick together as a family."

Yoon-ha, ever the thoughtful mother, suggested, "How about starting with the beach?"

Hazel's eyes lit up at the idea. "Sure, Mom. It's actually been a long time since I went to the beach."

"Alright then," Jeong-ho agreed with a nod. "What should we do after that?"

Jungkook, brimming with youthful excitement, proposed, "How about we hit the arcade?"

Hoseok, always keen on practicality, interjected gently, "Jungkook, remember that we're planning for family time, which means our parents will be with us. Maybe we should choose a different activity for now."

Taehyung, with a thoughtful expression, suggested, "What about a park? It's a nice place where we can all relax and enjoy nature."

Namjoon, who had been quietly considering the options, nodded in approval. "That sounds nice."

Jimin, never one to shy away from making plans, added, "Then we can go shopping, catch a movie at the theater, and end the day with dinner at a restaurant."

Yoongi chimed in with a grin, "And dinner at a restaurant sounds perfect."


With the plans set, the family finished their delicious breakfast. Jeong-ho and Yoon-ha had to head to the company but promised to return by four o'clock. The Bangtan boys, having been granted a month off to relax and bond, had the entire day free.


As Jeong-ho and Yoon-ha left, the boys decided to spend some time with Hazel. They gathered in the living room, settling on the plush sofas. They saw Hazel heading back upstairs and called out to her.


"Hazel!" Taehyung called out. "Do you have any plans? If you're free, would you like to spend some time with us?"

Hazel's face brightened at the invitation. "Sure, oppa. Let me just take a quick shower, change into something more comfortable, and I'll join you."

Taehyung smiled and nodded. "Alright, come down soon."


With a spring in her step, Hazel rushed upstairs. She took a quick but refreshing shower, changed into a comfortable outfit, and brushed her hair into a neat ponytail. Feeling invigorated, she made her way back downstairs.


When she reappeared, the boys were seated on the couch, their eyes sparkling with anticipation. Hazel chose a spot between Namjoon and Yoongi, the two older brothers who had quickly become her confidants.


Yoongi looked at Hazel with a friendly curiosity. "Tell us something about yourself, Hazel."

Hazel settled comfortably between them and began, "Alright, I'm Hazel, seventeen years old, and I have one year left to finish high school. My hobbies include dancing and drawing. I really love nature, so I enjoy going to places that let me experience the outdoors."

Namjoon nodded in agreement. "Me too, Hazel. I love nature because it keeps me calm and connected."

Hazel's enthusiasm was infectious. "That's great to hear! What about the rest of you? Tell me something about yourselves too."


The room filled with chatter as the boys took turns sharing stories and details about their lives. They talked about their interests, dreams, and experiences, gradually building a deeper connection with Hazel. The time spent together was rich with laughter and shared understanding, strengthening the bonds between them.


As the conversation flowed, Hazel's eyes sparkled with genuine interest and affection. She felt a growing sense of trust and camaraderie with her new siblings. By the time they had finished talking, they all felt a profound sense of unity and protection toward one another, ready to face any challenge together.


After some time, Hazel's curiosity was piqued. "Oppa, this mansion is really big. Can I get a tour of it?"

Seokjin's eyes lit up with excitement. "Sure, princess. Follow us."


Seokjin took Hazel's soft, delicate hand in his, guiding her gently. The other boys followed, eager to show her around their home. As they walked through the mansion, Hazel's doe eyes remained wide with awe. She marveled at the opulence of the various rooms, the elegant furniture, and the expansive spaces.


Throughout the tour, the boys couldn't help but coo at Hazel's cuteness. They frequently ruffled her hair or planted gentle kisses on her cheeks, expressing their affection in a pure, sibling-like manner. Each corner of the mansion seemed to come alive with their shared laughter and joy.


From the grand living areas to the cozy nooks, from the state-of-the-art kitchen to the serene gardens, Hazel was enchanted. The boys proudly showcased their favorite spots and shared anecdotes about the house's history and their experiences living there.


As they concluded the tour, the mansion seemed to feel more like home to Hazel. She had not only seen the physical beauty of the house but had also felt the warmth of the family that inhabited it. The sense of belonging she experienced was deeply comforting.


The afternoon wore on, and with the plans for the evening still fresh in everyone's minds, the boys and Hazel continued to enjoy each other's company. The anticipation for their family outing grew, and they relished the moments of togetherness that had brought them closer.


By the time Jeong-ho and Yoon-ha returned, the mansion was filled with the buzz of excitement. The family gathered at the entrance, ready to embark on their planned evening together. With hearts full of joy and spirits high, they stepped out into the world, looking forward to a day of shared experiences and cherished memories.


As they drove away from the mansion, the sprawling estate stood as a testament to their new beginning—a place where love and connection would continue to grow. And at the heart of it all was Hazel, whose presence had already made a lasting impact on her new family.
