I was walking back and forth waiting for them to enter the house. Kook was standing beside watching me with a smile.

The door opened and they entered like the heroes from a movie. Their looks are not helping me at all.

"Ohh Kookie, we bought pizza to cheer you up. But now that I see you, you don't look that gloomy like before, when we left you." Jin started when he saw him while looking at him head to toe.

So he really was sad when I was absent. I smirked at him, he looked at me with an embarassed smile. Jin raised his brow in confusion seeing Jungkook smile practically at nowhere.

"Ohhh hyung, she's back." He said flashing his bunny smile.

They all stood perplexed at how to react to that. It was Namjoon who broke the silence.

"Is she here in this room with us?" Jungkook nodded and looked at me with a knowing look.

"Guys don't get scared." He warned them.

I moved to the open door and closed it lightly. I didn't want to make a loud noise and scare the shit out of them.

Hearing the noise they were startled, luckily no one screamed. That was a relief.

"Will we be able to see her or atleast hear her?" Hobi raised a doubt.

"I don't think they can hear or see me. Or else they would have already did." I spoke to Kook and he in return told them.

"Can you touch all the things around here, like the TV remote?" It was Taehyung. I really like this guy. He's adorable.

I bend down and took the remote from the table and switched on the TV. I heard a 'woahh..cool' from Tae and Jimin. I chuckled at how those small things amazed them.

"Where were you for these past few days?" Suga asked.

I signalled Kook to tell them what happened. He nodded and told them how I got sucked into a world that was just mere imaginary. How I met my parents and saw him in it. The reenactment of the unfortunate accident, everything.

They all were lost in their thoughts as I relived those memories. Surprisingly, their faces showed concern. That too for me, a stranger, whom they came to know only few days back. They really are something. They made me feel content.

"Can you remember your past now?" Namjoon asked after a while.

I shook my head. All I can remember now is about my parents, the happy memories I had with them, and that stormy night on our way back home from the park. I still don't know my name. I still believe it's Ara, from the bracelet. I couldn't bring myself from asking them who I am. Also the moment I saw them, everything else about me felt irrelevant.

Jin was busy cutting onions in the kitchen. I had nothing better to do anyways so watched him working teary eyed, wiping his eyes using his sleeve often.

"Are you here ?" I heard him.

"Yup". I replied. I didn't hear any response. Ohh damn it, he can't hear me, I reminded myself. I took a spoon and tapped it twice on the counter. He was taken aback, maybe because he didn't expect to see a spoon levitating.

"I should take a mental note to get used to this, I guess." He chuckled.

He took a pen and paper from the drawer and kept it on the table. "Can you eat?" He raised trying not to sound offensive.

I took the pen and started writing, "No, I never felt like having anything." He leaned forward to look at the paper. He nodded understandingly.

"Can you help me with these?" He pointed at the pot of curry on the stove. I didn't bother to write anything, I straight up went to stir it. This was the first time I felt included as one among them. I squeeled happily as I stirred it. I saw Jin had a small smile on his face.
