14 - Here

"Are you sure you should be here?"

"It's fine, I'm just getting to know you," Taehyung answered Haerin.

The girl took a seat on the chair of the desk in the guest room she stayed at, "Alright then," she shrugged.

Taehyung sat on her bed, playing with a plushie he had brought from his room.

"But shouldn't you be with the other members? Not me?" she asked, curious to his choice of company for the next, possibly few hours.

She watched closely for an answer.

"I already spend every day with them, and you must be lonely, considering your situation with your soulmate," he continued to busy himself with the plushie.

"Ah, okay. Well, thanks for being with me Taehyung."

"Mhmm," he nodded.

The two continued to talk and write, generally about themselves and what they do.

Throughout their conversation, Jimin had entered the room while looking for Taehyung, then decided to join them in talking.

They went on to converse about anything and everything, making a few jokes and laughing every so often. It was fun; the first time Haerin had genuinely enjoyed herself during her so-far-one-day stay at the dorm, she was able to take her mind off soulmate problems for the moment.

'So when it was my turn to go, Jimin was still laughing but then fell off his chair!'

Taehyung laughed as he showed Haerin the note, flopping back on the bed as she took it and he pointed at the said member.

"Oh yeah! I think I remember," Haerin started giggling as she recalled the memory of that one RUN! BTS episode, "He brought Jungkook down with him! Oh my gosh that was so funny, I'm pretty sure he faked it though so Jimin won't look so weird on the ground by himself."

"Yah... don't laugh at me!" Jimin pouted as he sat cross legged at the end of the bed.

Taehyung ignored him, and Haerin may have fulfilled his request if she could hear it.

"Jimin~ you always disappear when you laugh I swear!" Haerin giggled, "Even your eyes, aww~" she awed.

"Haerin-ah, don't say that in front of him," Taehyung said as he calmed his laughter and tapped her knee for her to read him.

"Why?" she looked playfully at Jimin again, "Aww~"

Jimin picked up on her affection towards him, and he smiled before warning,

'Don't go fangirling now.'

At that, she had remembered that before knowing her soulmate, she was just a fan at their concert, "Ah yeah... wow, I must have forgotten, I'm sorry," her laughter died down, and she looked at the two members waiting to read a reply.

"That's okay, I guess it's because we are more like friends now," Taehyung said then thought, smiling as he appreciated the idea of being friends with Haerin; his member's soulmate.

"That's sweet, thank you both for that," she smiled, and rested her head back on her chair, still looking at them.

"Oh, about that, did you go to our concert alone?" Jimin asked.

Haerin was silent before replying, thinking Jimin had not watched a fancam or heard/seen about Euna yet, "No, my friend came with me. She saw when I collapsed but I was told that she was okay after I woke up. I don't think she had gotten an explanation of where I am now. Knowing her, she must have asked a billion questions, and I'm guessing she was told I'd be taken to hospital, which is obviously not true at all. My phone was taken away by manager last night, so I haven't gotten the chance to speak to her yet."

At the mention of her phone, the two members turned to each other before moving their gaze from Haerin to anywhere else in the room.

She didn't want to say that she didn't get her phone back. She knew it would sound really stupid as she had guessed that they knew of her device being taken away to avoid her posting anything online that would put herself or members at risk.

Taehyung and Jimin weren't there when she went all out about the members not trusting her, but she guessed they may have heard since manager could from the front door, or they may have been told by another member.

"I see," Jimin said softly.

A knock at the door pulled their attention away from the awkward atmosphere.

"It's time to eat," Namjoon poked his head through the door, "Oh, Jimin, Taehyung," he acknowledged.

"We're coming," Jimin replied from the bed, and at that, Namjoon left, leaving the door open behind him.

"Let's go before the dinner gets cold," Taehyung stood, and motioned for her to walk out of the room.

Haerin nodded, and followed the two members out to the dining area, where she expected the others to already be.

They reached the dining area, and the others were already seated at a table.

Yoongi was there, sitting at the end facing away from Haerin.

'Don't be like that, she's eating dinner with us.'

Seokjin gave him the note and a warning look as he set a pot of food in the centre of the table.

Haerin, Taehyung and Jimin took their seats next to each other, Haerin on the opposite side of the table with Taehyung next to her.

"Here we go~" Seokjin placed the last of the food on the table.

"Thank you," Haerin smiled at him, eager to eat to distract from her hurting head.

"Thanks," other members said.

Seokjin hummed back, and almost immediately, everyone started to eat.
