Recalling Affection

Chapter 17

Saga playfully showing her annoyness which overcomes by her happiness showing in her smile,"You’re just loud and shameless," Jungkook quipped, shaking his head. "At least I have some dignity left."

Saga, finally reaching her limit, turned to both of them with a stern glare, though the corners of her lips twitched in amusement. "Alright, enough! If you two are done comparing egos, can someone help me finish cleaning this mess? Or do I have to do everything myself?"

Both men froze at her tone, their banter coming to a halt. Taehyung raised his hands in mock surrender, his expression sheepish. "Alright, alright, I’ll help. No need to bring out the scary voice, Saga."

Jungkook snorted, crossing his arms. "She’s not scary. She’s cute when she’s angry."

Saga shot him a look that could melt steel. "Jeon Jungkook, if you don’t stop talking and pick up a broom, I swear—"

He immediately grabbed a broom, grinning like a child caught sneaking cookies. "Yes, ma’am. Cleaning now. No more talking. Promise."

Vianna leaned against the doorway, watching the scene unfold with a fond smile. "You know," she said, glancing at Saga, "it’s kind of amazing how you manage to keep them in line. Do you offer lessons?"

Saga chuckled, shaking her head as she returned to scrubbing. "Years of practice, of tackling Jiminahhh..." she replied, her voice light.

As the group worked together to tidy up, the playful teasing continued, but now with an undertone of camaraderie. The tension from earlier dissolved into laughter and shared glances, a sense of warmth filling the kitchen despite the chaos.

Vianna nudged Taehyung, her voice soft enough that only he could hear. "You’re really enjoying this, aren’t you?"

Taehyung smirked, leaning down to whisper in her ear. "Of course. Watching Jungkook get flustered is the highlight of my morning."

Vianna rolled her eyes, but her smile betrayed her amusement. "You’re impossible," she murmured, her gaze softening as it lingered on him.

Taehyung straightened, his expression playful but his voice sincere. "And you love it."

Vianna’s cheeks flushed, but she didn’t argue, her heart fluttering as they exchanged a glance filled with unspoken affection.

Meanwhile, Saga and Jungkook worked side by side, their hands occasionally brushing as they cleaned. Each time it happened, Jungkook would glance at her with a small, knowing smile, while Saga pretended not to notice, though the warmth in her cheeks gave her away.

By the time the kitchen was back to its original state, the group was exhausted but smiling, the air filled with a sense of accomplishment and newfound closeness.

Taehyung clapped Jungkook on the back, his grin wide. "Well, Jungkook, I’ll give you credit for one thing. You definitely know how to make mornings interesting."

Jungkook shrugged, his expression smug. "What can I say? It’s a talent."

Saga rolled her eyes, but her lips twitched with amusement. "Let’s just hope your talents don’t involve breaking more eggs next time."

Jungkook turned to her, his grin softening into something more genuine. "I’ll do my best, Sparkle. But no promises."

As the sun climbed higher, the group settled down for breakfast, their laughter echoing through the house as they shared stories, jokes, and a sense of belonging that made the morning chaos worth every second.

When suddenly the bell rang. Saga was going but Vianna gestured her to sit she can open it. Aa she opened the door she met with a furiously red in anger Jimin. This made her confused but the moment she was going to ask anything, he barged inside banging the door.
