         Proma didn't get too much time to talk with Namjoon. She just gifted the book on "Ajanta and Ellora: Cave Temples of Ancient India" and was about to talk when the drama happened.

"Sorry for all the drama. But I can't control whenever it comes to food, especially for her cooking."

Namjoon smiled. "I don't blame you. Your friend's cooking is really tasty."

"Yeah, I know. But now I don't have any time to talk with you. Can you give me just 2 minutes of your time? I want to tell you something important." She pleaded.

The manager behind him gestured her to go to the next member, when Namjoon stopped him.

"Tell me. I'm listening."

"Thank you. First of all, can I call you "hyung"? I know it is not appropriate in your culture to call a older male "hyung" by a younger woman, but I actually feel more at ease with this term. Because that's what you are to me. Whenever I feel uncomfortable or unsafe, I listen to your voice and it always gives me the feeling of comfort and belongingness in this huge world. I get back my footing in this world. You're my "home", it doesn't matter where I am, I always hit home when your songs play through my earbuds. So, can I call you "hyung"?"

Namjoon nodded, showing his dimples.

"You can call me whatever you feel right. And thank you for calling me your home. It's really a great honor for me."

Proma shook her head. "Thank you for who you are and giving me the permission to call you "hyung". The important talk I want to have is about your lyrics. Your lyrics always amaze me. The lyrics are simple yet complicated, empathetic yet the truth of life, articulate yet encouraging. They work as fuel in my life to go forward and push me to work hard to achieve my goals. And how much your personal stories reflecting in your lyrics, your songs always connect me on a spiritual level, that I can't even describe. All I can say is, thank you for your lyrics, songs, your leadership skills. I'm very grateful for your overall existence. Thank you hyung for coming into my life with all the other six beautiful human beings."

Her eyes were sparkling with tears which also made Namjoon emotional. He cleared his throat before speaking up.

 "Thank you for standing beside us, encouraging us as well." 

They shook their hands and smiled in appreciation, before Proma went to Jimin. The lead singer greeted her with a smile which she returned. She quickly took out a bead necklace for him same as Taehyung's, except it had a little yellow chick dangling from it. 

"This necklace is matched with Taehyung's one. Since you two are soulmates, I wanted to gift you two something in pair. So here it is. I hope you'll like it." Proma informed.

"Oh, wow. Thank you. I'll cherish it. Is this also hand made?" He asked curiously after checking the necklace.

"It is. Megha helped me to make it."

"Oh, is that so? She's very good with handcrafts. She made all of our gifts. By the way, how did she made all of them in one day?"

"She is a professional in this things. She runs her own online business with handicrafts from all over the country, specially focused on North-West part of the country."

"Oh, really? Does her business run oversees also?" Jimin again asked curiously.

"Sadly no. But maybe in future."

"That will be good. What --" 

"Why are you asking about Megha and her business so much?" Proma asked him in the middle, after answering a lot of his questions.
