I woke up because of the delicious smell I sniffed all over my room. Kuma keeps on barking, I looked at him and he was sitting near the door. He must've smelled the same thing.

Yeah right, I locked the door because Tae told me to do so. I stood up from my bed and do some stretching. I walked to my small bathroom and got my toothbrush from the sink. I put some toothpaste on it and looked at myself at the mirror. I remembered once again what happened last night.

I slowly feel my lips, I remembered how his soft ones crashed to mine. I remebered how he looked at me like I am some fragile thing that he's afraid to broke. I remembered how closed we are with our breaths mixed. I can't believe that happened!

"Unnie!!!!" I was cut from my flashbacks when Lisa shouted outside my room making Kuma barked out of frightened.

I hurriedly open the door and Kuma began to ran outside. Lisa was standing in front of me with her arms crossed.

"What're you doing? Why is your room locked?" She asked.

"Umm, I was about to brush my teeth. And did I lock it? I didn't." I want to play dumb to her but she squinted her eyes, she's suspecting me of something.

"Lalisa! I told you to put the table napkins!" Chaeng shouted from the kitchen. Why is our dorm a ruckus?! It's still early to shout.

"Coming!"

I was about to finish my undone routine when I heard him from behind.

"Good morning." Just by hearing his voice make my knees tremble! I faced him and chuckled awkwardly. I don't know what to do!!!!

"So cute. Continue with your business..." He pointed to my toothbrush. "I will wait you in the dining room. We will eat together." As if on cue, I exhaled a huge amount of air. Then I ran towards the bathroom not just to brush my teeth but to wash my face too so I can washed off the thought from last night!

When I got out from my room, Jimin followed from behind. I really want to ask them how can I help but just like what Tae told me we need to wait for them to approach us.

"Oh~who cooked?" I was actually surprised to see the foods placed on the table. It wasn't the usual Korean food. It's a foreign cuisine.

"Me and Jin oppa." Chaeng said. Well out of the four of us, Chaeng is the only member whose into cooking. Well Jisoo unnie helps with me when I am cooking but Chaeng is different, she wants to learn everything.

"No wonder." I said in English.

"All in foreign." She added. I smiled as I sat on my seat. Tae sat beside me. He offered me a scoop of rice and even put the right amount of food that I usually intake.

"Thanks." He just smiled at me and put some food to his plate as well.

"Jungkook! Breakfast!" Lisa shouted and Jungkook arrives shortly. He wore his jacket so he can hide his tatts, I really don't mind seeing it but his uncomfortable so we just let him do what he wants.

"What's this?" Jungkook asked pointing at some dish. I chuckled at his cuteness.

"Just try eat it." Taehyung said as he began to dig in the food. He was silently chewing the food and I am observing him, I know he's not used to the taste of it but he didn't say anything.

"I have kimchi!" Jisoo unnie put down the container of kimchi so the guys won't feel disgust to the foods.

I looked at the happy faces of Jisoo unnie and Lisa same as to Jungkook and Jin oppa. Their smiles are captivating as we shared some talks with the foods being well served. But my happy state was cut off when I saw how Chaeng smiled sadly at me.

"You wanna talk with me later?" I asked her in English.

"It's okay unnie. I am okay." She smiled at me, assuring that she's okay even if she's not.

"Yah Jimin! Why are you so silent?" Jin oppa asked. We all looked at his side except for Chaeyoung who just continued eating.

He sighed and drank half of the content of his water before answering. "I messed up." He began. Chaeng stopped eating but still didn't look at him. Her head was bowed down.

"You did?" Jin oppa was teasing him. Unnie slap hard oppa's shoulder and oppa hissed in pain. Jungkook has the nerve to laugh at the two oldest members so Lisa did the same to Jungkook.

I held my forehead dramatically because of these people's craziness.

"What do you mean messed up?" Taehyung was the one who asked seriously.

"I bet everyone of you already know about us."

"I don't." And for the second time, both Jisoo unnie and Lisa pinched Jin oppa's shoulder for being savage.

"S-sorry."

Jimin continued talking. "That I... dated Chaeyoung."

"You what?!" Jin oppa was literally shocked. He stood up, eyes widen and mouth agape. Dalgom was shocked at Jin oppa's outburst and started barking.

"Kim Seok Jin." Oppa cleared his throat and sat down again.

"I know I shouldn't have push you away. I know I shouldn't have told you those sh*ts. I am sorry. I can't stand looking at you avoiding me." Jimin covered his face. He's getting emotional right now.

We then waited for Chaeng to answered but she was silent.

"I am making it easier for you. I understand where you are coming from. I didn't say anything because you are right." Chaeng said. Her voice is getting lower, she's controlling it because she doesn't want to breakdown.

"I don't care if we are idols anymore. They don't know about us. They don't know how much we suffered, I don't care what they say." Jimin stood up and walked towards her place then kneel down.

"I hate this kind of drama." Jin oppa got his plate and walked out of the scene. Jisoo unnie followed him.

Jungkook and Lisa also did the same as for me and Taehyung we want to witness their love story.

"Accept me, please." It was a supposed to be a whisper but we still hear it. I am getting a thrill because of this! Tae held my hands below the table and I faced him. He mouthed at me, "Let's give them some privacy." Even if I really don't want to I obliged.

As we walked to the living room, I was surprised to see Jin oppa coming from the door with three guys tailing from behind. "So this is the reason why all of you didn't come home from last night." RM oppa was in disbelief.

"Hyung I haven't eat breakfsst yet." Hoseok oppa caressed his stomach. Yoongi oppa sat between Jin oppa and unnie, then he lean his head to oppa's shoulder.

"Get from the dining." Hoseok oppa followed, and minutes after he shouted.

Jin oppa and unnie is laughing so hard.

"Why didn't you tell me that they are having a...a...." Hoseok oppa is having the right word to say but he can't.

"A heart to heart talk." Jungkook gave a word.

"Yeah that!"

Nobody answered him. Tae was putting his arm on my shoulder, he's like putting a fence to his property. Hoseok oppa look at us with disgust. Then he lazily sat on the floor still caressing his stomach.

Chaeng and Jimin got out from the dining. Jimin was holding a plate of food and gave it to Hoseok. As if on cue Hoseok oppa's expression changed.

"You two are okay now?" Tae asked.

"Yes."

"Never been better." Chaeng said in English.
