Jamais Vu

A Message For Appa

Ara's heat goes by longer than usual but smoothly.

After about a week straight, Ara feels much better in more ways than one.

Jimin on the other hand.. he looks like he just ran 2 marathons back to back.

As soon as she steps outside of her bedroom, the house falls into an eerily quiet hush.

"guys?" she calls out, heading to the living room and not seeing anyone.

A head pops in from the sliding back door, making her jump.
Jungkook grins at her before taking a big whiff.

"it's okay hyungs!" he calls out before coming inside.

Ara stares at him as if he just grew another head.

"what's okay?"

"Jungkookie lost rock paper scissors so he had to smell and see if it was safe to come inside yet." Jin says as he steps inside, Tae and Joonie following behind.

"you guys.. played rock paper scissors.. to smell me? I'm not sure if I should laugh or be offended." Ara grins anyways before looking outside. "did you guys really sleep outside in a tent this while time? Guys.. come on.. I don't smell that bad."

Jungkook and Jin head to the kitchen to make food while Tae pats her shoulder in passing. He pauses, an amused grin on his face.

"it isn't because you smell bad, Ara. Trust me on that."

Tae walks in the direction of Jimin's room to help his soulmate recover, leaving Ara to roll her eyes with a smile.

Once outside, Hoseok smiles at her while him and Yoongi put away the tents.

"hey pretty girl. All better?"

Ara nods, sitting on the table part of the picnic table they must have recently installed out here.

"about time. That was pure hell." Yoongi mumbles so only Hobi can hear.

"hey Hoba.. you think Jennie will let me come back to work?" Ara says after awhile.

Yoongi visibly pauses but doesn't say anything.

"Uh.. she should. She asks about you a lot. You wanting to do something?" Hoseok smiles, always supporting her even if he worries.

"please.. I just want life to be normal again."

"I'll make some calls." He smiles at her before grabbing the tent gear and heading inside.

Yoongi knows he has to let her have her freedom but he can't help but not want her to go.

"you sure you're ready?" Jimin smiles at her, sitting on the counter while she gets ready. Jimin's makeup is done, so he's helping her with hers.

Ara has slightly darker skin than him so he uses more natural colors on her.

"More than ready. I'm so bored." Ara laughs, making Jimin scold her when the lipstick smudges.

"knock knock!"

Ara turns her head and smiles at Hoseok. He stands there, mid knock and just stares at her.

"Wow.." he breathes, blinking at her. "you look incredible."

Ara smiles brightly, turning to embrace Hoseok. She reaches her hand up, scenting his neck openly before doing the same to Jimin.

"now everyone knows you belong to me." She smiles happily.

Jimin and Hoseok share a look before advancing on her. Ara squeals in delight when they both attack her neck, nuzzling against her scent glands.
