"What do you want for dinner, J?" Taehyung said to Jamie who was once sitting beside him but had let the top of her body fall onto his lap.

I was sitting on the other side of him, we weren't touching and hadn't for either movie. He was either whispering things to Jamie or saying the lines with the characters of Luca. He had gone through 6 beers, all sitting on the coffee table in front of him that could almost block the teeny tiny tv in the living room at his sisters. I only had one.

She frowned up at him. "My spaghetti."

"I don't know what to tell you, booger. That got fucked up when Tilly was here." He said to her. Now his hand went over to my thigh and I looked down at it, he looked at me like it wasn't out of pocket or anything. "What do you want?"

"I don't know." I said, pulling out my phone from my pocket. "Will you please call Namjoon?"

"What good is that going to do? I already missed the meeting." I had texted Namjoon to tell him that I had found Taehyung, and when Namjoon called Taehyung didn't want to answer and interrupt Beauty and The Beast. He turned away from me after saying this and began to tickle Jamie, her laughs so loud. "I'll make you my famous quesadilla."

She kept laughing and wiggling, trying to take in a large breath. "I love casa-deels."

"I'll go start it." He said and then stood up with a groan. He felt around his pockets but came up with nothing, looking at me. "Can I borrow your phone to call Bea?"

I handed it over while looking up to him, pushing myself up from the beat up couch we were on. "I need to go home after this. It's so dark."

"It's too late for you to go home." He said, his eyes on the phone with his thumbs tapping over the screen.

I didn't know what to say, there was no way I could stay here. I just laid down the law with him, I can't leave Jungkook alone tonight and besides, this house was already crowded and when his sister came home it would be worse. There wasn't even a bed to sleep in. "I'll just get an Uber home."

"Eh." He said. "Not a good idea." He then turned away from me and held out the ringing phone to Jamie. "Are you going to ask when she is coming home?"

She nodded quickly and reached for the phone but he just laughed, holding it back up to his ear. I watched her arms cross over his chest and he disappeared to another room.

"Tilly threw his phone." Her arms motioned someone throwing and I just watched. "It bust."

"How much of it did you see?" I watched her crawl my way, still not sitting that close to me but closer than before.

She shrugged. "I don't know." Her mouth dropped open like she just heard something shocking, but it must just be her remembering. "Is Tata your best friend? He is my best friend."

I giggled a little. She really was so cute. "My best friend's name is Koo."

"Goo?" She perked up.

"Yeah, that works." I said and she clapped her hands together once.

"I want to meet Goo."

I smiled down at her and this shirt that she was wearing that didn't belong to her. Her hair had relaxed a little bit from early but it was tangled in the back from where it was rubbing up against Taehyung. "You can meet him. He would like you."

"I like him." She said just as Taehyung re-entered the living room area. She took no time to get up and make her way to him, her arms reaching up for him to pick her up. "Her best friend is Goo."

Kids are so funny, getting so focused on one thing. In a few months she won't even remember that name or his relation to me. Taehyung lifted her up and nodded. "I know. The stove takes forever to get warm here."
