.Zaina.

I decided to take a nap after Jin and Tae left, which was around 6pm and I just woke up a few hours later. It was worrying how quiet and reserved that Jin had gotten, compared to how he was when he first walked in.

But I sat up in bed and stretched my arms. What time is it anyway? It's almost 9pm, hopefully Namjoon comes home soon. Not gonna lie, I kinda miss him.

I jumped out of bed and went downstairs to get some water. Every time I take a nap, I wake up dehydrated, which is why I don't like taking naps. But that bed do be comfortable though.

The second I tiredly reached the bottom of the steps, I was face to chest with a man. But I knew that scent from anywhere.

"Hi Namjoon." I smiled and stepped back. "I was hoping I'd see you again tonight."

"Hey Zaina." He chuckled back at me. "I was just on the way to wake you up. The guys are over for dinner but we're not eating until you're here too." He reached for my hand. I excitedly gasped and made the first step to go see them, basically pulling Namjoon behind me.

"Hi guys!" I waved to them, getting many smiles and greetings and waves in return. I didn't realize how much I missed all of them. How long it's been since I've seen Yoongi and Jimin. And I wanted to talk more with Hoseok and Taehyung. I just felt a comfort with them that I've never felt before, almost like a second family.

Namjoon pulled a chair out for me at the end of the table and went to sit in his own after I sat down. The table was covered with different dishes, I was actually overwhelmed just thinking about what to eat.

Taehyung sensed my stress and took my bowl from me to fill it himself. I could only giggle at him while everyone else was digging into their already selected servings and talking amongst themselves.

"Thank you Taehyung." I cheered when he put the bowl back in front of me, giving me a smile and a very hard thumbs up.

Once dinner was finished and we were all partly drunk with full stomachs, I looked over at Jin, who looked over at me, asking me if I was going to do it with his eyes. And when I responded with yes, his eyes widened. Since Tae and Jungkook were distracting her, I was able to have a small conversation with the other five.

"Why are you guys looking at each other like that?" Hoseok whispered to me and Jin.

"I thought I was the only one that noticed." Jimin chuckled.

"I'm... I'm going to tell her who we are." I looked down at the table.

"Are you crazy? What happened to the plan?" Hoseok held my arm.

"There wasn't a plan. We were just shooting in the dark." Jin sighed.

"So you're just going tell her? Like that? So soon?" Yoongi mumbled, glaring at me.

"It wasn't his idea." All eyes turned to Jin.

"Um." Jimin cleared his throat loudly. "We're going outside." He tried his best in English, getting up from his chair and pulling Jin along, while Hoseok pulled me from my chair behind him, and Yoongi just followed us. They lead us outside, closing the front door behind us.

"Explain what the hell is going on." Yoongi snapped.

"Tae and I visited her earlier today, and I could see the pain in her eyes that she was just trying to ignore. We've been through what she's going through right now, but it's so much worse for her because she doesn't know why it happened." Jin crossed his arms.

"He texted me, explaining how he felt. I've been feeling the same but I've been trying to rationalize why we're hiding this from her... there isn't a reason. We should have just told her to begin with, because if she wasn't going to be angry by the news, she'll hate all of us for lying to her." I put my hands together.

"I ain't do shit." Jimin put his hands up.

"Regardless, I don't think now is a good time. It'll be a lot for her to handle." Hobi nervously rubbed his neck.

"She's not a child, hyung. I'm sure she'd much rather be told this now instead of being lied to any longer." I sighed.

"I've changed my mind since I've sent you that text." Jin mumbled.

"Changed your mind?" I squinted at him.

"She's been through a lot, and exposing our identities might be too big for where she's at right now. That's all that I'm saying." He shrugged.

"I thought we already discussed what we were going to do. So why the hell do we have to complicate things now? We start filming tomorrow, for fucks sake." Yoongi groaned.

"Hyung's right, this discussion can wait until we're done filming. We'll have about a day off to relax before we go into promotions." Hoseok agreed.

"But I feel so guilty that I'm hiding a second life from her... she doesn't deserve to be treated like this..."

"Oh you're wrapped around all of her fingers." Jimin laughed.

"Oh my god. Look I'm just gonna tell her and what happens, happens." I turned to the door.

"Seriously? You said you were afraid of her leaving us after finding out she's been lied to." Jin grabbed my arm.

"It's selfish of me to only think about myself when she's been hurt the most." I sighed.

"Namjoon, just don't do it yet, please. If she's going to be angry at us, it would be most convenient if it was after filming." Hoseok crossed his arms.

"Convenient? Im on hyung's side for this, because that's so selfish." Jimin stood next to me. "Why does she have to wait for the truth until her emotions will be convenient for our schedules? We got her roped into this, the least we can do is explain to her what happened."

"I understand that your moral compasses are going off, but seriously. And hear me out. If we went in there, told her the truth, and she lost trust in us, maybe even started ignoring us, maybe even booked a flight back to America to leave us... listen to how we're talking to each other, our stress levels are already at max. We can't take losing her right now." Yoongi tried to reason with all of us, seeing as he was the middle man here. "I don't want to lie to her either, I can tell that she's just trying to forget what happened and leave it in the past too. But we have to work with our circumstances, think with our brains now, and with our hearts later. Okay?"

"Fine hyung." Jimin sighed.

"But my brain wants to-"

"Namjoon, for fucks sake, just say okay and drop it." Yoongi mumbled.

"Okay... I'll wait..."
