"He really missed you a lot, Taehyung-oppa," Jennie said seriously after a long pause. "He cried a lot - almost everyday, and even on our wedding day."
"Mm, I know."
"He was crying and laughing, it was such a mess-" Jennie stopped abruptly, as she looked up at Taehyung in surprise. "Wait, what did you say?"
Taehyung smiled a little. "I said I know."
"How do you know?" Jimin asked, then he froze and sat up straight abruptly, letting go of Taehyung's hand at once to hold him by his shoulders. "Wait- No, wait- Kim Taehyung, did you- Were you-"
"Mm-" Taehyung smiled. "I was there, Jimin-ah. I saw you crying a waterfall."
Jimin let out a delighted squeal as he pulled his best friend close to him and hugged him tight. "I knew it... You never make promises easily, so I knew you always fulfil them..."
"So... what?" Taehyung grinned. "One year of meals? My servant for a day? Am I right?"
"Yes, yes, anything!" Jimin hugged Taehyung tight, wiping away a stray tear from his eye. "Anything you want, Kim Taehyung, I'm glad you're back."

"Have some decorum, oppa-" Jennie pried Jimin away from Taehyung, cautiously glancing at Jisoo whose facial expression looked like it had become darker at the mention of this specific topic. "Give people some space."
"Right-" Jimin pursed his lips as he stole a careful glance at Jisoo, who now had tears welled up in her eyes. "Jisoo-ya, Jennie told me you said you saw him, didn't you? How do you feel now, knowing that he was actually there? Do you feel-"
"I-" Jisoo got up abruptly, as tears streamed down her cheeks. "I'm going up to get some air. You guys carry on-"
Taehyung raised his eyebrows, as Jisoo stormed up the staircase, covering her face with the back of her arm.
"What are you waiting for, Kim Taehyung?" Jennie nudged Taehyung in the ribcage. "Go! Go chase after her!"
"Oh-"
Taehyung ran after Jisoo up the stairs. Every single inch of the walls he passed, he knew. He knew the house layout inside out - that was how it was, since he had spent so much time perfecting it to be the way Jisoo liked it. Upon reaching the top of the stairs, he went straight, directly into the room in front of him - Jisoo's room.
