Finally...Us [BTSxReader]

Chapter 43

"Hey, how is it going...Tae..hyung?" confusion could be heard in Yoongi's voice as he looked at the boxy smile Taehyung had on while answering the video call.

"Hey, hyung! Long time no see, did you miss me?" Taehyung grinned and made kissy faces at the phone, enjoying the confusion spreading on Yoongi's face.

"Did I call...no, it is Marie's number" Yoongi mumbled, his fingers appearing on the screen as he checked what number he called. "What are you doing with Marie's phone?" he finally asked the now dancing Taehyung.

"Oh, so you only miss her now? I see how it is" Taehyung answered back, avoiding his original question, pouting as he looked at the ground, trying to show Yoongi how sad he was.

"Ok, ok, I missed talking to you too, brat. How are you?" Yoongi's voice boomed over the video call, and the screen started shaking from Taehyung's side. When he finally looked up at the camera, Taehyung was grinning widely, looking like he was about to commit a crime in all his happiness.

"Awww hyung, I missed you too. I am tired...we all are tired" he finally said, whining at the last part of the sentence, before turning the phone to show who 'we' was.

Yoongi could see people on the couch, books sprawled on the table in front of them, and wished he could zoom in to see better. From the angle Taehyung held the camera, he could only see some silhouettes of people on the couch, not who it was, and he wondered if he should ask Taehyung or not.

"No worries, hyung, we are tired from studying, nothing else" Taehyung's voice floated over the speaker before the camera view floated closer to the couch like he knew what exactly Yoongi wanted to see.

Three people were asleep on the couch, M being in the center, her head leaning against the back of the couch, while she was hugging one of the pillows, her eyebrows furrowed in frustration like she was having a nightmare. She was sitting between Felix and Jungkook, both their heads leaned against her shoulders, their arms wrapped around her waist, looking like they either wanted to hug her or reach for the other guy. Neither moved, sleeping soundly, their faces betraying how tired they all were.

"They are like that just from studying?" Yoongi asked, his eyes concentrating on M's face. He did not like what he was seeing. Not the couch cuddle, but how exhausted and frustrated she seemed to be, even in her sleep.

"Well, hyung" Taehyung started, the view of the phone suddenly shifting from the couch to his face, moving back and forth as he was walking far away from the couch and its occupants. After a door closed behind him, there was darkness for a second before the light was turned on.

"As you know, it is the last year for me, M, NamJoon, and Lexy. The others still have tons of time to have fun, but Felix and Kookie want to make sure M has fun too. The only problem in their logic is that Kookie became basketball captain after you left, so he has to deal with practices, coming up with training and strategies. I can't help as much as I am in my last year, and the professors already started whipping us into form" Taehyung whined as he remembered the ton of research he had to do on his own for some assignments, placing the phone down to reach for a bottle of soda, before continuing to tell his hyung everything that happened since the year started.

"And Felix, well he is caught in tons of projects for the theater group, so when they both come to see M, they are just as exhausted as her. So then you get moments like that one on the couch, like pups trying to hug their mom for warmth, so cute"

"Taehyung, don't get lost in your imagination" Yoongi started talking the moment he saw Taehyung was blabbering away from the main subject. He still did not get to know the piece of info he wanted, how exactly was M. "How about you?" he asked in the end, hoping to get Taehyung back on track.
