Chapter 98: A House Built in Love

Start from the beginning
                                        

Hobi walked in like it was holy ground.

"Oh, this is magic," he whispered.

Tae followed close behind, brushing shoulders with him. "You'd paint here, right?"

Hobi nodded, too soft to speak.

I locked eyes with Jungkook, who looked the way he always did when he watched Hobi fall in love with something-like he was home just by seeing it.

I leaned in and whispered, "You should see the next room."

Yoongi opened the music studio door with a flourish.

"This one's mine."

It was a temple of acoustics.

Soundproofed walls, exposed concrete and walnut slats. A massive mixing desk.

Instruments hanging like weapons on display. The lighting was soft, moody, gold-glow over black matte. A leather couch at the side.

Jungkook whistled. "Damn. This is a full-on studio-studio."

"We added an isolation booth for vocals," Joon said, pointing toward the glass cube.

"Tae insisted on LED mood lighting for it."

"You're welcome," Tae added.

Hobi wandered in, ran a hand over a synth. "I'd record here. Easy."

Yoongi just raised an eyebrow and patted the space beside him on the couch. "Stay a while."

I sat beside them both, resting my head on Hobi's shoulder, and Yoongi laced our fingers on the other side.

"Next stop?" I said softly.

Yoongi grinned. "Time to get steamy."

The steam bath was misty and elegant.

The sauna next door was pure cedarwood, golden and hot, with towels rolled in neat little pyramids.

"This feels like a spa," Jungkook whispered, pulling his damp curls into a bun. "A rich spa."

Tae fanned himself dramatically. "I plan to come here to cry after writing bad poetry."

"Don't forget our skincare nights," Jin oppa added.

Yoongi nodded. "Once a week. Non-negotiable."

Hobi was still smiling when he stepped out. "You guys really made space for everything."

Joon looped an arm around his waist. "Especially for you."

We walked into the gym next, and Jungkook actually lit up.
