*Recap*

   Jimin opened his eyes as he stepped forward into nothing and saw the distant ground far below.

   ----------+++++-----------

   Jimin screamed as he started to fall from the balcony.

   "Jimin..!" V's arms wrapped around him from behind, and he pulled the smaller male back away from the edge. Jimin sagged against him, breathing heavily. His whole body was shaking. 'That was too close..'

   "What happened? I woke up and saw that you weren't in the bed anymore, and then.." V hugged the smaller male tighter.

   "I had a nightmare." It's still too vivid in his mind. "In my dream, I was running, and.." He looked at the edge again and shuddered.

   V held him close. "It's okay now. You're safe."

   'Am I, though? Are any of us safe?' Jimin bit his lips in thought. "I feel like something terrible is going to happen.. Like the blood of the Asphodel is trying to warn me.." Jimin trembled.

   "I'll protect you." V squeezed him.

   Jimin turned around to face him as the nightmare flits through his mind again. "What if I can't remember your names?"

   "I'll wait as long as it takes." V said, hugging the smaller male tightly. "Even if it takes years. Even if it takes the rest of our lives."

----------+++++----------

   Mercifully, the rest of the night passes without incident. Next morning, voices reached Jimin's ears as he drew close to the living room, and he paused to listen.

   "...and next we fry the bacon, and then after that--" Jin's voice sounded impatient.

   "Why don't I set the table while you take care of the bacon?" RM's voice was pleading.

   "Alright, but make sure we have enough napkins for everyone.. oh and don't you break anything.." Jin called out instructions to RM as the other dragon leaves the kitchen with a stack of plates.

   "RM joined Jin for cooking duty." V looked up from the game of chess he and Suga are playing. "Personally, I have my doubts about whether or not RM can cook, so I hope Jin is keeping him away from the stove."

   "I heard that!" RM grunted from the dining area.

   "Don't tell me you're still missing the memories of your cooking." V snorted.

   "I am an excellent cook, thank you." RM scoffed.

   "We're doomed." V prayed for our souls.

    "Hey, it's your turn." Suga nudged the seriously praying dragon. "Make a move or forfeit."

   "Fine.. fine.." V whined.

   Hearing all of them bantering like this made Jimin laugh. Suga glanced up at the sound and raised his eyebrows. "Something funny?"

   "It's good to see everyone together. And bickering over normal things" Jimin smiled up at the dragon.
