( the same morning)

"Yaaah... it must be really weird to see ARMYs on a small screen..." Hobi growled after drinking his orange juice.
Namjoon laughed and took a deep breath
"At least this is what we can do. I think it's better than nothing .." He grabbed a slice of bread in front of him and took a quick bite. The seven of them just finished discussing about 'Bang Bang con the live', an online concert that they will soon hold.
"What time do we start the choreo training?" Jungkook interrupted while leaning his body against the back of the chair.
"After lunch..." jin answered quickly with his mouth full of rice. He's the only one who hasn't finished his breakfast this morning.
I glanced at the dining table where all of them were talking and enjoying the breakfast I had just made. I didn't think that they would all be able to gather for breakfast at the same table considering on the weekend they all scattered to their respective homes. I think however, they did find their own comfort in this apartment where they have always been together since 7 years ago.
I stretched my arms out to grab the bowl on top of the cupboard, I thought I'd cut some fruits in the fridge for them. I smiled for a moment because my body felt very refreshed after exercising at the gym this morning. Right now I'm wearing an oversized crewneck combined with my favorite tight jeans. Ah yes, It reminds me... I have to return Taehyung's jeans jacket.
"So how's your weekend, guys?" Yoongi suddenly snorted, interrupting my thoughts .
"Hhh...at home, spending time with my mom... I guess because of the situation we can't go anywhere right?" Jimin answered with a sigh. I could tell a bit of annoyance in his tone.
"Well.. hopefully everything will get better soon. Because I'm also just staying at home but my mind is instead full of unfinished song arrangements, I feel like I want to hurry back to the studio .." namjoon grimaced as he rubbed his mullet-style hair back with his hands.
Everyone just chuckled amused at Namjoon's words. They know very well that their leader is always in ‘work mode’.
"Aah but yesterday there was something quite exciting. I watched Taehyung's live!" Hobi exclaimed enthusiastically.
"Wow hyung, Jinjja (really)?" Tae who had been silent for a while finally spoke while raising his eyebrows. Hobi nodded enthusiastically.
"Ah yes... I saw it too! You looked really happy..." Jimin chuckled teasing Tae
Tae grimaced softly while brushing a lock of hair that blocked his eyes
"Hah... really funny. I was wearing a mask, how did you know I was happy?" Tae asked before sipping the grape juice in his glass.
"Yeah I know! Cause you did that happy dance! Show it, hyung..." Jimin said confidently while signaling hobi.
Hobi who seemed to understand then stood up from his chair and began to imitate tae dance moves while 'live' on Justin Bieber's song Intention.
"Ahaa...you do this..... yeah...yeah..and this..." hobi danced enthusiastically. Most of the boys laughed amusedly, including Tae who cupped his face while shaking his head.
"Wehh! Do I look like that?" Tae said pouting his lips in protest.
"Even worse!" Jimin laughed so hard he almost fell off his chair.
I tried hard to hold back my laughter as I stepped up to them with a large bowl of fruit pieces. Jimin and Hobi are now sitting more calmly, although the mischievous smile is still clearly visible on their faces.
As I approached I could feel Tae's gaze combing my direction without blinking. His lips seemed preoccupied with grape juice which he finally gulped down.
I put the fruit bowl in the center of the table slowly, inviting another shout from the others.
"Dessert, guys...." I said smiling sweetly
"Aaarrg....nice..." hobi growled happily followed by murmurs from the others. they quickly took their forks and began to eat the sweet juicy fruit.
"Um Lily..... do I look like that?" Tae suddenly asked me after swallowing his first piece of melon.
"Uhm?" I raise my eyebrows.
Tae leaned back, his white crewneck shirt rolled up to his elbows revealing his protruding veins, The sight that really caught my attention.
"Did I dance like that yesterday?" Tae asked me again casually.
I was stunned because I wasn't sure what to say.
"Oh, lily...You watched Tae's live too?" asked Jin after placing his chopsticks beside the bowl.
"Well...yes, I..."
"She was with me at the live yesterday..." Tae interrupts me suddenly, making all eyes in the room widened at me.
"Wow?" Jimin widened his eyes. I can only gulp while glancing at tae who even looks relaxed sipping his drink.
"Wait.. you mean you were in tae's room all along? Till it finished?" Namjoon asked me without hiding his surprise tones.
"Umm..Yes...Lee-hyung asked me to help tae with his Vlive.." I explained. How come they don't know about this at all?
"Wow, you're so brave, tae... what if army (*bangtan's fandom) realized there was a woman in your room at that time... aisssh, it could be a big news..." said Hobi while grinning, reminding me of a similar concern that had crossed my mind earlier.
"Well, did you guys notice anyone else when I was doing live?" Tae asked calmly.
They all looked at each other and finally shook their heads causing Tae to show a death grin.
"Woah...how come lily doesn't make a sound at all ?" Jimin looks at me with a cute look of surprise.
I just chuckled while signaling to lock my mouth quickly. Yoongi smiled widely at my behavior
"Well, that means only Lily is allowed to enter my studio while I'm working, I'm sure she won't interfere.
it's not like you guys suddenly came in just to ask where the toothpaste was.." yoongi glanced at jungkook while sneering.
"Yaaah hyung, how can i brush my teeth without tooth paste? It was a crutial thing.." jungkook tried to defend himself.
Seriously, this scene made me chuckle to myself.
"Anyway, I thought you didn't work on the weekends?" Namjoon brings the topic back to the table.
"Oh I didn't actually... unless there is one of you who needs my help and I have free time then I would be glad to help .." I explained.
"But tae, why did you say you don't need help when I offered you one?" jin suddenly snapped at tae.
Tae glanced at me for a moment before answering
"Um..well, because I just realized that I need help after you all left.." he answered with reason.
"Well next time, just tell us if you need help. Poor Lily, you wasted her family time..." jin wisely continued.
I laughed softly
"It's ok... I'm often free on weekends. My sister is my only family, and she's always busy..." I replied casually while clearing the plates on the dining table.
"Ooh...then time for your boyfriend?" Jimin squeaked while shoving a piece of melon into his mouth. A faint smile appeared on the corners of his lips.
"Boyfriend?" I widened my eyes
"Lily doesn't have a boyfriend..." Tae bluntly answered while dipping his fork into the fruit bowl. I glanced at him quickly while the others exclaimed in disbelief.
Why... Why does he keep cutting off my answer?
"Oh really? Hmm.. Good to know..." jungkook suddenly squeaked while raising an eyebrow, inviting Tae's gaze instantly towards him.
I glanced at the two of them who were sitting opposite each other. Jungkook was smiling while Tae seemed to be pressing his jaw hard. I don't know what's on their mind.
"Okay, time to wash the dishes..." I said with a short sigh as I piled the plates trying not to prolong the topic of this conversation.
"Wait lily, then you can freely spend your weekend here with us if u want..." jimin suddenly burst out with a big grin
"Ah...yeah, if we don't go back to our respective homes..." Jin chimed in.
I smiled widely accepting their hospitality
"Thanks, guys... i would love to do that.." I said happily.
Everyone went back to talking while busy eating fruits in front of them, except for Tae who was looking at me without blinking, as if I had a big annoying stain on my face. Our eyes met briefly before I returned to the kitchen with the dirty dishes.
I noticed that he seemed more quiet this morning than the other members.
is he okay? Is he still mad at me because of what happened at the gym this morning? Or something unpleasant happened while he was at home?
I took a deep breath and opened the dishwasher rack
Hhh...what the heck Lily...why should you care, I mumbled in my heart.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJay6nvD2A
I put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher and got up again. Suddenly I felt a soft touch on my waist followed by a distinctive fragrance that caressed my nose. Oh, this scent...
"Need my help?" Said the man with the deep voice. He brushed his fingertips gently, almost touching my waistline, making my heart beat faster
I turned slowly towards him. He is now standing right next to me with a smile on his handsome face.
"It's fine, Tae...thankyou..." I said trying to hide my surprise at his sudden presence.
"Hmm...I like to see you like this....a loose shirt really looks good on you.." His gaze slowly creeps down on me making me smile awkwardly
"Ah, this? It's just my old crewneck shirt, but...my fav one..." I smiled at him and then busied myself again with the dishwasher button in front of me.
"I see...
Um...i can definitely imagine you in one of mine..." he mumbled while licking his lips slowly.
"Huh?" I spontaneously turned around at the same time as my heart was experiencing a sudden spike.
Our gazes met inescapably.
Him with His freakin unexpected words!
"I...I mean...the shirt you're wearing now is the exact size as mine..." he cleared his throat and corrected his words slightly awkwardly.
Dishwasher suddenly beeped distracting us both.
"Aiish, I forgot to put the fruit bowl..." I muttered glancing at the dishwasher and breaking my gaze from his brown eyes.
"Oh..Don't worry, I'll wash it later.." Tae replied casually without taking his eyes off. I gave him a faint smile while trying to put my mind on its place because his words earlier still ringing in my ears.

"So...are you coming to our rehearsal today?" he asked again. Now he turned around to face me.
"Hm... I don't know.... if you guys need my help there, I'll definitely come..." I said smiling sweetly.
"Of course we need you.... well, I do.
So, yeah...you should come" suddenly jungkook appeared from my right with an empty fruit bowl in his hand. I was surprised because I didn't notice his presence at all
"Oh?? What do you need her for...?" Tae replied as he folded his arms across his chest.
"Well... for a lot of things. Of course if she’s around, I feel more excited.." he answered smiling broadly at me. He did not share his gaze at all towards Tae.
I widened my eyes at him while Tae snorted quickly.
"Yaaah.. I didn't think I could make you more enthusiastic, jeykey.." I said chuckling softly
"Now can I have that?" I continued while grabbing the fruit bowl in his hand and placing it in the sink. Jungkook smiled sweetly at me.
" iish, He's obviously being flirty.." Tae muttered while rolling his eyes. I glanced at his face that looked a little annoyed.
Why is his reaction like that?
is he jealous?
" I’m serious ....in fact I want to ask for your help, lily..." jungkook continued focusing on me while ignoring tae's expression
"Oh? Ok .. what is it..?" I replied glaring at him.
He brought his face closer without hesitation.
"Would you mind helping me out on my vlive?" he asked bluntly.
Hearing this, Tae suddenly straightened up.
"Yaaah...! why all of a sudden..?" said tae while facing jungkook quickly
Jungkook followed his gesture
"What’s wrong, hyung? You also asked Lily for help right?" He asked raising an eyebrow
"Yeah... but... ...that's risky, what if Lily makes a sound and army finds out?" Tae dismisses quickly
Jungkook laughs
"Don't be silly, you're the one who proved that she's really quite.." he argued
"Yes..but.."
"But what?"
"Hey...hey...hello, I'm here remember...?" I quickly interrupted the two of them who sounded like schoolchildren fighting over soccer ball.
they stared at each other while I let out a small sigh.
"Alright jeykey... When will you have your vlive? I would be happy to help but you have to talk about it first with brother Lee.. if he agrees then it won't be a problem for me.." I continued quickly towards jungkook.
My answer made Jungkook rise his pierced eyebrows and smile widely.
"Great, I'll let you know soon.. and I'll make sure to talk to Lee-hyung about this.." he said confidently while glancing at Tae who was now bending his face.
"Cmone, hyung... don't you want to get ready for rehearsal ?" he asked quickly.
"Not yet... just go ahead, I'm gonna help her first.." Tae answered quickly without sharing his eyes with jk.
I quickly turned to my side. Tae leaned closer while turning on the faucet in the sink. With certainty he took the fruit bowl from my hand without looking at me at all.
"Alright..." jungkook raised his eyebrows then smiled at me before leaving the kitchen. I stared at his back before finally refocusing my attention on the wavy haired man beside me.
Tae is scrubbing the bowl with soap without saying anything
"Tae..." I called softly
He didn't answer
"Taehyung-aah..." I called again. This time in a cuter voice. He immediately stopped what he was doing and glanced at me
"What..?" He answered with a slow breath while looking at me with his brown eyes.
"Why do you keep frowning?" I asked sulking at him.
"Ani(no)! ... who's frowning? .. It’s just that... umph…it’s really hard to clean..." he said turning his gaze back to the bowl he was still rubbing even though it already looked very clean.
I smile
Why is he so adorable??267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO38bP2YM8q
Is he really jealous? 267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGGIroGVLB
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl97iELeSh
"Thank you..." I said quietly.
"Hmm?" He turned towards me
"Yaah this is just a bowl...no need to thank me..." he continued chuckling while drying the black melamine bowl with a rag beside the sink.
"I mean, for the jacket..." I said.
He widened his eyes at me.
"I'll make sure I'll wash it before I return it to you...ok?" I asked with a sweet smile.
"Oh that... it’s fine. don't mind to wash it.." he said as he put the fruit bowl on the top shelf.
"Yeah, but I was sweating... I'm sure you don't want any scent other than yours on your jacket, right?" I said grimacing remembering clearly the incident with his cellphone last time.
Tae glanced at me with a look I couldn't understand.
"Are you saying that your scent is all over my jacket?" he asked. He tilts his head towards me
"Uh huh....i'm afraid so.." I bit my lips.
"Don't wash it," he suddenly said firmly.
I stared in surprise,
"huh? Are you sure? But you said..."
Tae rubbed the nape of his neck slowly then stepped closer to me cutting my words.
"What? I never said that I don't like it..." he muttered then stopped right in front of my face. There was a smile on the corner of his lips as he looked at me intensely with his brown eyes. My heart suddenly beat wildly.
"Hmm…What perfume do you wear, anyway?" he asked softly. He lowered his head slowly closer to my face. His gaze lingered along the base of my neck and jaw line makes me gulp for a moment
"um... I... dont... wear parfume .." I answered quietly.
He squinted his eyes and casually brought his nose to the base of my neck as if to prove I was lying. His warm breath brushed against my skin softly.
Oh Lord, what is he doing?? he gives me chills all of a sudden !
"I’m...serious. I only wear...um... lotion. That's where...the scent is coming from.... I guess.." I continued to hold back my nervousness because Tae didn't move his face at all.
Why did he have to make me so flustered ?
I swear, the distance between the two of us was so close, I could clearly smell the after-shave scent of his handsome face.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh13TOM6LEh
"Mmm... that's even better.... so I don't have to worry about my sensitive sense of smell when I'm around you..." he muttered under his breath, quietly enough that only the two of us could hear his words.
"Owh?" I muttered chewing my lips slowly. My heart was beating like crazy when I realized that Tae's gaze had now fallen to the lump of my lips. His face drew closer and he didn't blink at all looking at me.
Soon he was slowly leaning his body closer to me, his right arm reaching my face without a word coming out of his mouth. My body seemed to freeze suddenly anticipating what would happen next.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy34HWd5RXZ
What does he want?
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0kLsZDxno
this is getting more and more intense for me.. I don't think I can handle it anymore!😩
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiBZAD2bZv
When his face got closer I spontaneously closed my eyes and held my breath for a moment,
oh Lord... is he going to do it??
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb423MYiFo
my heart jumped up and down like crazy.267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8kYJpM89E

267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmLJsUNYay
Eh..??
I slowly opened my eyes and then I found Tae who was looking at me in surprise.
In his right hand is a large white mug with a picture of a heart shape alien.
"Is there something wrong?" He asked surprised
I looked at my back awkwardly to find a hanging rack containing many of Bangtan's mugs which was actually located right behind my back.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fT9WPoaJ7
Aaaah... I see...
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaficUgMaBp

267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFftdg4ow1
"Aah ... my eyes .. I got something in my eyes.." I immediately pretended to rub my eyes and blinked many times.
"Ooh?" Tae looked surprised then tried to help me by softly blowing them. I grimaced and then shook my head hoping he would stop doing that because my eyes are actually okay.
"Are you okay?" He asked again after seeing me open my eyes
"Umph.. yes... I'm fine.." I answered quickly, hoping my acting was convincing enough.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ039sgQiz
He grinned widely then suddenly gently stroked my head with his wide hand
"There's nothing wrong with your eyes, Lily Byeol...
You're just imagining too much.." he said with a chuckle.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMNv212StS
Dang it! My face suddenly felt hot instantly.
"What?! I.. I..." I said nervously holding back the hot sensation on my face.
"Do u think about me that way...? Hmm?
A lot?” He teased while grinning in front of my face, making my face feel even redder.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ925g9XNiC9
Aarrgh!
"Yaaah!...no...!" I quickly rebutted while pushing his body away from me
He chuckled showing his phenomenal boxy smile in front of me.
"See you at the training ground, Lily..." he said still chuckling. Once again he ruffled my hair excitedly
"Iiish-tae!" I shouted in annoyance as I try to fix my hair.
Damn, now I have mixed feelings of anger and shame.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfF1UJkOsD
Tae moved quickly from the kitchen with his favorite mug. He glanced at me who was frowning in annoyance
"And don't forget to bring my jacket, ok?" He winked at me then laughed even harder before completely disappearing from my face.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDo3xvPbFI
Aaarrgh...!!
Seriously, I want to sink to the bottom of the earth right now!267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfMRurR3vT
I cupped my face that looked like a boiled crab with both palms.
