After dinner Everyone was back in the living area, it was time for some Christmas movies before going to bed and that was what they were to do.
The projector was put on and The Polar Express was playing on it.
All the kids were huddled in the front with their pillows and blankets. all the elder Mins had returned home to take some rest for the day. Only a few workers along with Hoseok, yoongi and Jimin were staying to look after the kids.
Jungkook and Taehyung were also there as they were waiting for Mr. Lee to come and get them.
Jimin and Hoseok were helping the other worker to get the snacks for everyone while Yoongi was going around to check if everything was locked.
The snowstorm was still going on with no signs to stop. Yoongi noticed.

After some while, when everyone had settled down and was very much engrossed in the movie, Jungkook's phone rang. It was Mr. Lee. (TMI: Jimin had ended up sitting beside Jungkook somehow.)
He immediately excused himself, not wanting to disturb the kids and the others watching the movie.
●○●●○●○●●○●
On call.
"Yes Mr. Lee, are you here?" Jungkook ask,
"Hello Young Master Jeon, that is the reason why I called up. There is a problem, " Mr. Lee hesitates to say.
"Why? What happened?" Jungkook insists.
"Well you see the storm is still going on with no signs of stopping, the trains are all cancelled."
"Oh, that means we can't leave today?" Jungkook asks just to confirm if that is it.
"kinda yeah but there are few flights still going which means we can have a private jet ready for you both if you want." Mr. Lee says about the other option.
"Oh is that possible?" Jungkook asks knowing it won't be easy to do either as Mr. Lee says.
"Yeah it is, just some roads are blocked due to snow, so we will need some time more to get everything ready and come pick you guys up. But if you say we will get on it right away."
"No Mr. Lee, I think it is too risky to depart in this storm. It is better if we just stay back for today till the storm goes down. Plus I don't want to make you work in such weather so don't worry about it ok? We are fine staying some more." Jungkook denies immediately not wanting to trouble anyone in such weather.
"If that is what you say Young Master Jeon. Do you want me to come pick you up and drop you at the hotel?" Mr. Lee asks,
"No Mr. Lee again as you said the roads are blocked at places so don't trouble yourself this much for us. We are okay with spending the night here at the orphanage. The kids are lovely here and I would like to spend more time with them too. so we are perfectly fine with it okay? don't worry so much about us Mr. Lee." Jungkook replies, genuinely wanting to spend more time at the orphanage.
"Okay young master Jeon if you say so but is there anything else I can do for you?" Mr. Lee asks wanting to know if he can do anything to make their stay comfortable.
"Yeah, can you get us our bags tomorrow in the morning? we will need a change of clothes. Also, let me know if there are any more changes in the weather." Jungkook says after having some thoughts.
"OK will do young master. if that is all then have a good rest young master Jeon, I'll see you in the morning." Mr. Lee agrees.
"You too Mr. Lee, Good night."
and with that, they end the call.

Jungkook turns around to go back inside where everyone is, only to find Jimin standing behind him.
"Oh, I just came out to check on you, since it has been quite some while that you were gone." Jimin says seeing the confused look on Jungkook's face.
"ahh ok, it was just Mr. Lee, the one who was helping us around here." Jungkook replies understandingly.
"Oh, did something happen? Is he here already?" Jimin asks.
"No, that's the thing, he won't be able to come at least for tonight... our train got cancelled due to the storm and I personally don't think it would be safe to take a flight in such weather."
"Yeah, the storm is still going on full speed so I would also say that it is better if you stay the night. You can even stay the night here if you are ok with it, I'll talk to Yoongi and ask him to prepare something for you... that is only if you are comfortable with it... and if you have any other plans then it is ok too..." Jimin offers, being the considerate self he is.
"Actually that is what I wanted to ask yoongi. if it is ok that we stay the night here. The roads are blocked in some places so we won't be able to go back to the hotel... thank you for already offering it chim" Jungkook replies honestly being amazed at how kind the latter was to him.
"Oh of course you can stay the night, don't worry about it. I'll talk to Yoongi, Let's just go enjoy the movie for now... they must be wondering where we are" Jimin said realizing how long it had been that they both were out in the lobby.
Jungkook nodes with a smile asking him to lead the way...
The both of them went back inside and settled back down in their previous places without being noticed by anyone as everyone was too immersed in the movie.
There was only one person though who noticed them, smiling evilly noticing them coming back together... taking a note to ask his friend about it later on.
it was none other than Jung Hoseok.

Soon enough the movie was over, some of the kids were already fast asleep while the others were either already yawning or about to sleep.
The workers helped all the kids to get in bed while Jimin, Yoongi, and Hoseok with the help of Taehyung and Jungkook were cleaning the living area where they all were watching the movies.
Soon it was all clear, all the kids were sleeping and the workers had also retrieved to their given room to rest for the day.
Jimin has somehow found time in between the cleaning to talk with Yoongi about Jungkook and Taehyung staying for the night and even though Yoongi was not a fan of the idea before as there was no extra room for even one person to stay the night, he agreed cause of two reasons.
One it is not safe to let them go at this hour and in such weather and the other reason is Jimin himself who kept whining and showing puppy eyes until Yoongi agreed,
And so they set up some extra mattresses in the room where Yoongi and Jimin were to sleep, for them to sleep on.
Both Taehyung and Jungkook agreed with the setup, taehyung being the first to agree as he was excited to sleep beside Yoongi. well, that was the first thing he had in his mind when he heard about where they would sleep for the night.
and that is how they ended up sleeping, Yoongi, then Taehyung then Jungkook and then Jimin. Of course on separate mattresses though.
I definitely don't need to say how nervous two out of the four of them were... you know being who two....
