The sun seeping through the curtains, Taekwoon got up and opened the blind only to blinded by the bright sun. With eyes still half close, he walk ahead the bathroom, to wash his face and brush his teeth. He changed his sleeping pajamas into white loose shirt and strip trousers. He put some his favorite Versace Eros's perfume before he went out to meet the others for breakfast.
As he stepped inside the dining room, he saw Naeun and Yoongi were already sitting next to each other—no gaps between them. The male left hand was all around his girlfriend slim waist, while the other hand was on her cheek, caressing the soft thing carefully, afraid to make a scratch on it. The female was almost doing the same thing, resting her head on the not-so-wide her boyfriend shoulder. She hid her face inside the crane of the male's neck; Naeun could bet she really loves the scent of her lovely boyfriend. Taekwoon could not see the female hands since the table covered them. He then decides to clear his throat, to make the couple recognize his presence.
And he is succeeded. Naeun was being the first that move her attention to him. And Yoongi, needs some split of second to fix his shirt, and in Taekwoon's sight, he fixed his pants too, before let his gaze meet him.
"Oppa, finally. We've been waiting for you. Come and join us here," Naeun greets, showing her smile. Taekwoon replies with the same wide smile as he scanned the table in front of them. There was only 10 empty plates and 10 glass of milks. Seems like the chef hasn't finish preparing the breakfast for them.
Taekwoon took a seat in front of Yoongi. His eyes leered to the room located near the main door. It's Eunji and Jungkook's room. It's still closed as he is wondering the owner of the room are still inside since they aren't around right now.
"Eunji is preparing breakfast for us and Jungkook helps him," like an answer to his question, Naeun spoke up, causing Taekwoon's gaze back at her.
"Eunji?" he raised an eyebrow.
"Yes. Beside a professional perfumer, she is also a great chef. You will love her cooks!" Naeun beamed, proud of her friend.
"Don't forget Jin hyung. He also gives a help and he is pro at cooking too," Yoongi finally let out a voice, an excitement expressed clearly in his tone.
"Really? That's good," another smile formed on Taekwoon's face as he started to peek inside the kitchen. He only sees Jungkook and Jin that seemed busy preparing some vegetables near the refrigerator, and he didn't see Eunji. Taekwoon suddenly got up from his seat, inviting a question from his friend.
"Where are you going?" Naeun asked.
"I wanted to offer a help," he casually said before headed to inside the kitchen.
Just less than 10 steps, he finally could see her. She stands in front of the cooker, back facing him. Everyone might saying she looks small around other girl with her 1,63 m height, but for Taekwoon, it fits her face well. Naeun was right, the petite girl directly caught his attention at their very first met. He wanted to know her more.
And without his notice, the female suddenly turned around, she was taken aback to found him was already standing behind her.
"T-Taekwoon-ssi?" Eunji couldn't help but stuttering.
"Oh, hi! I'm sorry for surprising you. I heard from Yoongi that you are preparing breakfast for us. So let me help you," Taekwoon comes closer and see some of delicious meals are already served on the cabinet table.
"Um, a-actually there's only soup left. And I guess i-it will be ready soon," Eunji didn't know why the awkward atmosphere come across her. She actually didn't know how to react with his sudden appearance.
"Oh okay, let me check it for you," Taekwoon was about to reach the stove, but he jumped in surprise when suddenly Eunji grabbed his hand, wincing as he held and rubbed it. She whimpered as he pulled her to the sink, running cold water through over her hand. He had gotten too close to the fire and had almost burned his hand but was saved when Eunji pulled his back.
"You should've watch out," Eunji argued as she sat down. "You're almost in danger."
"I'm sorry. You got hurt because of me," Taekwoon looks worry while he quickly grabs the first aid kit inside the cabinet. He took a seat next to her, before he's rubbing an ointment on her burning arm.
"It's okay," Eunji said.
"I'm really sorry," Taekwoon lifted his chin to found the girl face was just some inches away from him. He bravely lets his gaze staring at the pair of Eunji's eyes. She has a pair of double eyelids that looks so attractive. And for his surprise, the girl didn't pull her face away instead she was staring back at him.
But a sudden sound of clearing throat echoed. Causing both of Eunji and Taekwoon are immediately adjusting their gaze to the source of the voice. Then they found Jungkook already standing just 2 meters away from them, with bowl of salad on his hand.
"What's going on here?" he asked, putting a question look on his face.
"Eunji got a burn on her right hand, and—" before Taekwoon could finish his words, in a speed of light, Jungkook ran closer beside her, making Taekwoon stepped back to let the slightly slender man take his previous position. He places the salad bowl randomly. He didn't care it can fall to the floor, luckily Taekwoon catch it in a right time. His one and only concern now is none other than to Jung Eunji.
"Are you alright? Let me check it," he grab Eunji's right arm in a rush, checking the burn spot that already covered with ointment.
"I'm okay. This is not the first time though," Eunji giggled, seeing Jungkook started to blow her wound.
"But still, you should've watched out next time. You makes me worry, you know," still held the girl hand, Jungkook raised his other hand to stroke the crown of her head softly.
"Yah, don't exaggerating. Go check the soup for me. I guess it's ready," she said. Jungkook chuckled and nodded before reached out to stir the soup and motioned her to come closer. The latter leaned in and pointed at her mouth. "Let me taste it first."
"I guess this isn't ready yet," Jungkook doubted.
"Trust me," Eunji sent a confident look to the male.
"Don't started to nag if it tasted not good," Jungkook warned.
Eunji nodded and opened up her mouth. Jungkook scooped a spoonful of soup and blew on it before feeding it to her. She carefully chew it inside her mouth. Instead of protesting, her eyes widened before gasped in amazement. "It's delicious. Come on, we should serve it quickly. They must be waiting for us!"
She grab the empty bowl and Jungkook started to pour the soup inside of it carefully. They exchanges smile and totally ignoring Taekwoon's presence that still watching them from behind.
He finally decides to leave the best friends, when Naeun calls him from the dining room.

"So, shall we start the game now?" Namjoon asked as he was about to spin an empty bottle on the table. They were just finishing their breakfast and Namjoon initiated to play 'Truth or Dare' to kill their boredom.
"Spin it already!" Hoseok said in full of excitement and the bottle started to spin. Everyone attentions were fully on the white rounded table, waiting the glass bottle will stop and choose one of them to take the challenge.
"Yup, Jung Eunji, you're the first!" Jin laughed when the tip of the bottle had stopped leads to her.
"Okay, never mind," Eunji shrugged as she waited someone to ask her.
"Truth or dare?" Hoseok asked.
"I'll let you guys to know me more. So, drop the Truth!" she challenged them with enthusiasm.
Taehyung and Jimin are started to make a brief discussion, while Jungkook and Taekwoon that sit on the right and left side of her, were waiting too.
"Okay then," Taehyung cleared his throat. "You two got everyone curious about your relationship," he told them while pointing his finger at both of Eunji and Jungkook alternately.
"Us?" Eunji raising an eyebrow, so did Jungkook. They were staring at each other before they're laughing in unison.
"What's with the laughter?" Naeun that sit across her asked.
"Never mind," Jungkook smiles, showing his bunny teeth.
"Be honest, guys. Exactly how close are the two of you?" Jimin asked.
"So, that's the question? I thought it will be more than that," Eunji smirked. "Umm... Let's just say, we always sleep in one bed. We even hug each other but not feel any scheme about it."
"Oh really??" the entire chorused and their question earns a nod from the two.
"We can drink from the same glass too," Eunji added. "Although it's usually Kookie drinks from my glass or my cup."
"Yeah, we even sharing food in one plate. Using the same utensils," Jungkook beamed while staring at Eunji's eyes.
"He even sometimes kisses me, just to tease me" Eunji was glancing at him, before widening her smile. "We're that close."
All of them, especially Taekwoon have just to regain their self-control before they continued the game.
"It's my turn to spins the bottle," Eunji said as she finishing her 'truth'. "Please... please... let it be Son Naeun," she wished and the bottle started to spin.
"Yah, Jung Eunji! Don't you dare!" Naeun sent a glare to her former school-mate that sit across her.
Then they found out the tip of the bottle pointed toward Jungkook.
"Truth or dare?" Yoongi asked, ignoring his girlfriend that started to stick her tongue to the person in front of her.
"I'm playing safe so I'll go with the 'truth'," Jungkook said, while Jimin and Taehyung started to discuss again about what question they will ask to him.
"Okay, we've got the question," Taehyung clicked his fingers. "In case, Eunji isn't your best friend. Will you marry her?" he asked the question carefully.
"Yah, Kim Taehyung! What kind of question was that?" Jungkook protested.
"Yah, I'm your hyung, don't yell at me!" Taehyung barged back. "And I said IN CASE!"
Jungkook stunned for a second. He didn't notice his friend will shoot him with that question. Fortunately he recovered fast and still putting his calm face, he nodded his head. "Sure. I'll choose her from the start to be my wife. I love foods and everything she cooks is always be my favorite," he playfully smiles as he threw his gaze to Eunji who sat beside him.
"Oh well..." Eunji couldn't help but shyly smile; she cupped her face to hide her blushing cheeks. The others except Taekwoon, suddenly burst into laughter.
"Oh God! People might be misunderstanding if they aren't close with you two," Jin shook his head while still chuckles, so did everybody.
"Slow guys, the question was just IN CASE, right? Don't take it seriously," Taekwoon tried to calm the atmosphere. He took the bottle and gives it to Jungkook, motioning him to spin it.
"Hopefully it will be your turn, babe," Naeun patted Yoongi's shoulder and sending a mischievous smile.
"With my pleasure, honey," the latter leaned in to give a soft peck on his girlfriend cheek, that was when the tip of the bottle stop. And they began to groaned when it pointed to Eunji again. "Yah! What is this?!" Yoongi scoffed and he put dissatisfaction expression on his face.
"I guess we're gonna know her shocking information more!" Hoseok laughed again. "So, ask her again guys!"
Before either Jimin or Taehyung opened their mouths, Taekwoon suddenly raised his hand on the air. "I'm gonna ask a question," he said, making the attention went on him. "Who is your number 1 speed dial?"
"Ahhh," Eunji said, she raised her pointer finger then pointing at the person that sit on her right side. "It's Kookie."
Once again, her answer had successfully made all of them gasped in disbelief. "R-really? Didn't it suppose to belong to your boyfriend?" Taekwoon almost cried out.
"I don't have boyfriend and Kookie is my close friend, so yeah..." Eunji and Jungkook laughed loud and long.
"Oh goodness, they're driving us crazy, really," Naeun started to massage her own forehead.
"Seriously guys, just go ahead and date each other!" Namjoon blurted out, causing Jungkook startled with his remark. "Did that ever cross your minds, ever?"
"It did," it was Jungkook who answered. "It crossed my mind to make the possibility come true. Is that right, Ji?"
Eunji hit him in the arm. "Yah!"
"What?" Jungkook rubbed his arm, smiling. "It is true. I did ask her out a number of times and I got rejected so many times as well."
"Oh! This is interesting!" Taehyung chirped, while the others already propped their hands on the table, ready to listen of the truth more.
Eunji face palmed.
"She said, we're only best of friend," Jungkook went on.
"He was taken that time," Eunji chuckled. "He had a girlfriend."
"Wait... Did you two were already friends since child? And did you ask her out after you move into her house?" Namjoon clarified.
"Didn't you feel awkward toward each other?" Jin investigated.
"Yes and no...," Jungkook shrugged.
"He wanted to ruin our friendship," Eunji nudged Jungkook's ribs slightly.
"But, really you guys? Didn't you have something— like a special feeling toward each other?" Hoseok still confused.
"I love Kookie too much to lose him," Eunji answered. "We were too close actually. He is the starlight in my dark night. He's part of my family, my life. I cannot and will not lose him by dating him," she seriously confessed.
Jungkook was mute, but he used the time to glance at the precious girl beside him. He deeply stares at her meaningfully although the girl didn't know it.
"That's sweet," Taehyung frowned. "You guys have a good relationship together."
Eunji and Jungkook now were staring at each other, before exchanging smiles.
"So, if Eunji will get married someday..." by out of the blue, Taekwoon spoke out again. "What will you do, Jungkook?"
