Ep.16 Realizations

Taehyung woke slowly, the soft rays of the morning sun filtering through the curtains and warming his skin. His eyes fluttered open, and he blinked a few times, still groggy. As he shifted slightly, he realized that Jimin was curled up against his chest, his soft breaths brushing against Taehyung’s neck. Jimin’s arms were loosely draped around him, a peaceful expression on his face.

Taehyung’s heart seemed to skip a beat. Why do I feel like this? He stared at Jimin’s face, his heart swelling with warmth. The closeness, the gentle rise and fall of Jimin’s chest—there was something that felt so right about it, yet so overwhelming at the same time.

Just as he was about to move, a loud noises came from downstairs followed by Jin’s voice calling out, “Boys! Get up and come downstairs! Breakfast is ready, and your appa and I need to talk to you.”

Taehyung groaned, rubbing his face. “Emma and his timing…” he muttered under his breath. Carefully, he untangled himself from Jimin’s embrace, trying not to wake him.

By the time Jimin stumbled into the dining room, still rubbing the sleep from his eyes, Taehyung was already seated with a steaming cup of coffee in front of him. Jin stood at the head of the table, a warm smile on his face, while Namjoon sat across from him, sipping his tea.

“Good morning, Mochi,” Jin greeted as Jimin plopped into the chair next to Taehyung, still half-asleep.

Jimin yawned and stretched. “Morning, Emma. Morning, Appa.”

Namjoon smiled at him. “Morning, Jiminie. You look like you could use a nap.”

Jimin ignored the comment and turned to Jin. “What’s the big news? You woke me up for this.”

Jin chuckled, his tone warm but firm. “Your appa and I need to leave for America tomorrow. There’s a business party we can’t skip, and since it’s a couple’s event, we both have to attend.”

Taehyung raised an eyebrow, his interest piqued. “How long will you be gone this time?”

“About a week,” Namjoon answered. “Maybe ten days if the meetings after the party take longer.”

Jimin’s eyes widened in surprise. “A week? Emma, take me with you! I’ll behave, I promise!”

Jin shook his head with a soft laugh. “I know you’ll behave, Mochi, but you’ve got school and your dance class to focus on. You need to stay here and stick to your routine.”

Jimin pouted, crossing his arms. “But I never get to go anywhere fun! You always leave me behind.”

“We’re not leaving you behind,” Jin said gently, pulling him into a hug. “We’re trusting you and Taehyung to take care of each other. And we’ll call you every day. Promise.”

Taehyung smirked, leaning back in his chair. “Don’t worry, Jimin. I’ll keep you company while Emma and Appa are gone.”

Jimin shot him a glare, the usual mischief in his eyes. “You better, hyung. Or I’ll swap your shampoo with glue.”

Namjoon laughed at their playful banter, his deep voice echoing through the room. “You two will be fine. Just don’t turn the house upside down while we’re gone.”

Jin added with a knowing smile, “And no sneaking midnight snacks, Jimin.”

Jimin rolled his eyes dramatically but couldn’t suppress a smile. “Fine. I’ll be good. Maybe.”

At School:

The classroom buzzed with energy as Taehyung, Jungkook, and Hoseok exchanged jokes before class started. Their laughter was interrupted by the sound of a knock. The door opened, and in walked a confident girl with a warm smile and an air of ease.
