Once they reached the private dining room where they once sat on their first meeting, she was rolled into a spot between Yoongi, and Taehyung took his spot on the right side of her. She thanked Jungkook and Taehyung for helping her.
"Uhm, I really hope you like the food." She softly spoke, playing with the fabric of her clothes, looking down shyly.
Each of them noticed they had different bowls and plates of food set out in front of them, each possibly similar to one another but at the same time not.
"I did a lot of research and I really do hope I got it right." She shyly chuckled to herself nervously.
"Hana, I'm sure anything you make would be delicious." Jin was kind enough to speak up, the others just far too amazed by their spread.
"Are these, specific to our hometowns?" Namjoon was curiously smelling the closed lids of the dishes in front of him.
Hana hummed, agreeing with Namjoons statement. "Please dig in." She offered.
"What about you? Aren't you eating?" Yoongi asked, seeing as she had no dishes in front of her.
"Ah I ate beforehand, don't worry about me." She nervously said. It was true, she didn't want to eat in front of them because she couldn't even lift her hands, she had to be fed by Sena everyday and it would have been too embarrassing for her.
From across the table Jungkook looked at her with sad eyes, probably guessing why she couldn't eat with them.
"Alright well, let's dig in." Namjoon smiled graciously at Hana, "thank you again for this!" The others followed with thank you's after and proceeded to eat.
Lifting up the lid of the bowl, Taehyung instantly knew what it was. He quickly turned his head to Hana, surprise and tears beading up in his eyes.
"Hana, where did you learn how to make this." He spoke softly in his husky voice.
Once the others had unveiled their dishes, a few of them gasped at the familiarity of the smells and visuals of the dishes in front of them.
Nervously biting her lip she met Tae's eyes and smiled sweetly at all of them. "I had manager Sejin help me. This was something I've always wanted to do for all of you, so I had prepared this for a few weeks prior." She paused a little analyzing their expressions, "since I wasn't able to actually make them myself today, I just helped with the taste testing and just hope I got them right." She chuckled.
"I got Manager Sejin to help me contact each your families to get a childhood recipe that all of you would remember from each of your hometowns." She looked down again, unable to meet their gazes.
"Taehyung," she looked up at him, "yours was the hardest to make but, I hope I at least did your grandmothers cooking some justice."
Taehyung finally broke into tears and reached out for the fragile girl, kneeling down on the floor and hugging her as gently as he could but buried his face into her neck. His grandmother had sadly passed away so he thought he'd never taste her cooking again.
"Tae it's okay," she cooed "Please don't cry, I wanted all of you to be happy. Plus I don't even know whether I got it right." She tried to calm him down, she too had tears in her eyes because she always felt like crying whenever any one of them did.
"I am happy Hana, this means so much to me. Thank you." Taehyung sobbed into her shirt.
All the boys were so touched by her, they never expected something so sentimental and nostalgic. Slowly, Jin helped pull Taehyung off her because she was starting to feel his weight on her and it was too much for her frail body. She silently thanked Jin.
"Tae, I'm sorry I can't hug you back right now, nor can I hug anyone here because I'm too weak but I do hope all of you know that I do care a lot about all of you." She voiced to the room.
Taehyung just nodded and sat obediently in his seat looking down at the food.
"Thank you Hana." He mumbled again through his tears.
They all finally tucked in, some of them squealed in amazement on how familiar and how close the flavors were to the ones at home, the others were ecstatic at how nostalgic it felt to finally eat their homes food and it really made them miss their families.
"I was hoping this would help all of you feel a bit closer to home. Just like how I feel when I'm around all of you." She smiled widely at all of them, her cheeks flushed from the embarrassment but she tried her best to stay confident in her confession.
It was too much for the boys, some of them on the verge of tears as they all got up and took turns to hug her, thanking her endlessly.
"Hana, you are a part of our family now. Nothing will change that." Jin spoke sweetly, the others nodding in agreement.
"Hyungs right, being with you feels like home." Jimin smiled sweetly at her.
Taehyung was still a crying mess, missing his grandmother dearly, and his grandfather too, the dish reminded him so much about his childhood and the times they spent together.
Once they all sat back down to continue to eat, Yoongi decided it wasn't nice to just eat while she just sat and watched, so he offered her a spoonful of his dish.
"I'm not taking no as an answer, I can see you're still hungry and that's a good sign of recovery."
Shyly adjusting in her seat, she leaned in slightly while he brought the spoonful to her lips, careful to not have it drip. She slowly chewed and swallowed the rice and stew, happy with it.
"Thank you Yoongi Oppa." She softly spoke.
"Anytime princess." He winked at her back, she flushed until someone cleared their throat next to her, seeing Taehyung offer a spoonful of his food too.
Judging from his expression she couldn't say no to the boy either and took a bite. This was like any girls dream to be fed by the BTS boys, her thoughts were all over the place as each of them now offered a taste of their meal throughout. By the end of it she was so full while the boys finished up their dishes til no grain or drop was left.
"Hana, that was perfect." Jin huffed sitting back, obviously full and satisfied from the meal.
"Thank you again Hana."
"Noona, it was delicious!"
She giggled feeling their positive energy. "If I could do more I would." As they started to get up she finally remembered, "oh! Wait I forgot about the cake I made!" She quickly said in surprise.
"Already on it Hana." She heard a voice behind her, Sena walked in with a cake and candles lit, much like a birthday cake.
"Oh right our celebratory cake to commemorate us meeting each other!" Hobi beamed as they all gathered around Hana and the cake. It was beautifully decorated, the lilac icing with white flowers surrounding it.
"Let's countdown and blow together shall we?" Namjoon announced as they all agreed in response.
"Oh wait! Noona, can you use my phone to take a picture?" Jungkook offered his phone to the nurse which she gladly took.
"Ready?" Sena called, set to snap a shot of all of them. "Alright smile!" She took a picture and they all counted down and blew the candles together, Sena took multiple photos of them, as they started laughing and smudging the icing on each of their noses till all of them had some form of icing on their faces.
It was a joyous moment all of them would never forget and another unforgettable memory captured and saved in a photo frame.
There was nothing more that Hana wanted more than moments like this.
I hope these moments last forever.
She wished and continued to giggle along with the boys.
