"Why are you staring at me like that?" Yoongi was drinking his 'coffee' and I made it for him after he taught me how to make one.

"Is it good?" I was a little hesitant to ask him but I had to.

"It's great."

I let out a loud sigh.

Finally I was able to do something for Yoongi.

"Next time, I'll teach you how to make other types of coffee as well."

"Huh? You mean, there are other kinds as well?"

Yoongi smiles as if he's teasing me, "It's okay, you can do it."

Just then, we both heard the front door opening. I ran all the way from the kitchen to greet Hoseok.

"Oh A-Ra! How have you been?" Hoseok patted my head as soon as he got inside.

"Why are you letting yourself in just like that all the time? Can't you just ask first?" Yoongi asks Hoseok in a way that he always does.

Hoseok then flashes a mischievoous grin, "Then why don't you just change the password hyung?"

"Whatever." Yoongi scoffed before he goes back to the kitchen.

Hoseok leaned in to my ear and whispered, "I bet he doesn't remember how to do it." before laughing heartily.

"Sorry I wasn't able to come here yesterday. I had to work for the whole day." Hoseok started to stretch his arms.

I wonder what kind of work he does?

Does Yoongi have work too? Then, why is he always staying home?

"How is everybody doing?" Yoongi asks after sipping coffee from his cup.

"Oh, they're doing well. Jungkook was actually asking me if he can come by here."

I walked over to the kitchen counter where the coffee maker is and started to make one for Hoseok while I listen in to their conversation.

"They can go here anytime. My only worry however is explaining to them about A-Ra."

Me?

"Yeah. I guess we can't just say that she's from the past. I myself can't still wrap my head around it. But..."

"But what?"

"A-Ra!" Hoseok calls for me and I immediately walk towards him and served him his coffee. "Can you pretend to be Yoongi's cousin to our friends?"

I was surprised, to say the least.

"You see, our friends may not react well  with the news that Yoongi hyung here is living with a woman. More so if they find out that you're from the past."

I see...

"Don't worry. They're great people."

"Sorry A-Ra but I will have to ask you to do it. But don't worry, I don't think they'll ask you too many questions."

"It's alright! I'm actually good at pretending... I think. I even pretended to be a man before."

The two men looked at me from head to toe with doubting eyes.

"It's settled then."

•Yoongi's POV•

I can't believe they'll go here as soon as I tell them that they can.

"Hyung, the food I ordered are here." Hoseok places the food properly in the middle of the table with A-Ra helping him.

How long has it been since I last saw them? I hope they still see me as a friend after all those things that had happened.

My doorbell rang just in time.

Hoseok immediately went to the front door to meet our visitors. Soon thereafter, I heard familiar voices bickering.

The first one I set my eyes on is Taehyung, "Hyung!" He quickly ran towards me and hugged me without pause.

This feels weird to me. A few months ago I didn't need this kind of interaction but now, I feel like I'm desperate for human touch.

The next thing I knew, all of them joined in the embrace. Everybody started to laugh and then I noticed that someone was missing.

"Where's hyung?" I asked.

Jungkook scratched his head, "Well, Seokjin hyung is currently abroad. His business is currently picking up and he was needed there."

"But don't worry hyung, he said that he'll come visit you as soon as he finishes there." Namjoon added. "He was actually pissed off because he just left for Europe yesterday."

Oh, I see. For a second I thought he was still disappointed at me.

"Hyung... there's a girl in your house." Jimin pointed to A-Ra who was passing through the hallway from the bathroom. Everyone's attention shifted to A-Ra who was as surprised as my friends are.

Hoseok came to A-Ra's side and introduced her, "This is Yoongi's cousin, Lee A-Ra. She's staying here for a little while."

"Hyung, I never knew you had a cousin!" Taehyung quickly goes over to A-Ra but Hoseok stops him by holding his arm up.

"What do you think you're doing Taehyung?" Hoseok intimidates Taehyung but the younger male goes under Hoseok's arm and took a closer look at A-Ra.

He's too close...

"I've never seen anyone so pretty as you... and..." Taehyung gasps with excitement, "you don't even have makeup on!"

Okay. That's enough.

"Taehyung, can you please not flirt with my cousin?"

Taehyung backed away with fright, he then pouted "...but hyung, I just wanted to say hi."

"I don't think that's how you say hi Tae." Namjoon held out his hand, "Hi, I'm Namjoon. Nice to meet you."

A-Ra studied Namjoon's hand and it made me anxious.

Please remember what I taught you!

She grabbed Namjoon's hand and shook it, "Nice to meet you too."

I let out a silent sigh of relief. Thankfully she remembered what I taught her a few days ago.

"Would you like to join us?"

A-Ra first looked at me for a sign of approval as if she's scared of what to do. "Come A-Ra, I'll introduce you to everyone."
