"Good Evening..." Archi stretched her arms and came out, rubbing her eyes like a little bear.
"What Good? We had the worst afternoon." Jimin sulked on his position. Archi ignored his words, her curls adorning her circular face.

She generally has her hair tied up in a bun or high top but today she let them free. She looked like those mermaid goddesses who had just ascended from the tempestuous howls of the ocean in the middle of the night.

"Why wasn't it good?" She finally spoke as she sat down right next to Jimin.
"This puzzle! We can't solve it." He whined like a baby, demanding the chocolate his parents won't provide.

"I see. What happened to those which we aligned last day?"
"They are also non-matching pairs." Said Jin. Yoongi got up from sofa and threw down his body next to Hoseok.

"Hmm... I think we have to find the clue to this. There should exist one absolute constant. Whatever though, where's the baby?" She said.
"Baby?" Jungkook huffed a pouty face with puffed up cheeks.
"Hmm. Y/n." She pushed her left cheek with her tongue and gazed at Jungkook with her intimate yet ravishing hazel orbs.

Jungkook's facial expression changed with the sudden eye contact. He faked a stern look, way too obvious to understand. Archi moved her finger in a wave-like manner, diverting gaze towards each of them as if she was doing a thorough scrutiny of all of their faces.

Clearing her throat, she said,

"Join the pieces of the edge. The piece with two even edges will form the vertex and the ones with one edge, will form the sides."
"But how do I understand if this piece, belongs to the right side, the left, top or bottom?" Asked Taehyung.
"Give me?" She took the 4 cm piece and started at it as if her eyes were devouring the tiny tile.

"Here, right side." She said, with a sudden change of expression that left a visible question mark on Jin's face.
"How?" Asked Hoseok.
"My heart says. If it doesn't fit on the right, it's probably for the other three." She shrugged her shoulders when she noticed the missing members, strolling back to the pack.

"Where were you?" Asked Jin.
"Just adding a verse to a tune I thought of. Y/n helped me." Replied the leader.
"Cool. So what did you write?"
"Will show you later."

"Help us complete this then." Said Hoseok.
"Yeah but the schedule?"
"Let it be." Said Archi.
"Manager-nim, you're breaking your own made schedule..." Y/n trolled her manager.
"Hmm... I'm interested in completing this complication."

......

The sunset had already set and the falling night glimmered with tiny heavenly bodies, akin to pearls in the ocean.

"Finally!" Jimin heaved a deep sigh of relief as the ennead sat there, looking at the framework of the puzzle with all the edges set perfectly.

Tricky of this puzzle to have pieces that can fit well with almost any other piece. Every other piece had a tiny scrap of colours although the most distinguishable were the bright Yellow Borders, little Red on more or less every piece, and the dark, light-absorbing Black colour which was the major shade used.

"If this much can be done in 1 hour, if we keep up with the uniform, our work should finish by 1:00 in the night." Said Y/n, wearing her spectacles to focus on the work.

"Yeah but let's not do it like it's our last game. Let's enjoy is as our last game." Said Jungkook.
"Indeed." Said Archi.
"Now that we have the edges set, let's fit all those pieces that comply with the edges." Said Y/n.

Time flows very fast when you're well concentrated on a work and to them, solving this was the work. Most people would give up on such a thing which could easily be termed a waster of time yet the boys and their ladies wanted to complete it.
