Once at home, halmeoni hears about my fainting from Yoongi just as he steps outside after hugging me tightly and so, it doesn't take thirty minutes before a knock on the front door echoes in the empty apartment.
I stand up from the couch and carefully make my way to the door, open it to find her on the other side with a bag in her hands, and looking at how heavy it seems to be with the way she struggles to lift it up, she filled it much more than necessary.
"Yoongi dear told me that you fainted again today, sweetheart, I made you food so you can eat well and recover, ramyeon is not good when you're weak, take this bag and eat as much as you can, okay? Put the rest in the fridge for the next few days, he told me you won't be back to work this week" she says with a concerned smile that warms my heart, she really is the best mother figure anyone could ask for.
I accept the bag to release her of her burden and step forward to hug her tightly, she hugs back with a sigh and a soft pat to my back. "You need to take care of your health, sweetheart, I've come to see you like my own daughter, it makes me sad when you're sick".
I hide my face in her neck at her words, eyes filling with tears but heart swelling so much it might burst, what did I do to end up being so nicely surrounded? Was this cancer a malediction or a blessing?
"I promise I'll be careful, halmeoni, thank you so much for taking care of us the way you do, you're like a mother to all of us too, you know we don't have our parents anymore so you and halabuji are truly like family to us" I tell her softly and she squeezes me tighter before pulling back to pat my cheeks fondly, her eyes shining under the weak light of the building's hall.
"And you are family to us, that will never change. Now go back inside and have a meal before resting, okay? Don't watch TV for too long, you need to give your head a break" she demands with a smile and I nod, one last hug shared between us before she closes the door for me.
I clear my throat, the sudden emotions dimming back to a normal flow while I walk to the kitchen to empty the bag, eyes widening at all that she made, the containers are huge! The guys will be happy to see the fridge filled with homemade food, they can eat some for dinner and there will be plenty left for the next few days, halmeoni is amazing.
I grab a few side dishes with a main dish and settle myself at the dining table to eat without distractions, after that I'll go to bed and sleep as much as possible, I do feel exhausted after what happened this morning and yesterday, all those emotions that come and go, it's draining.
I just want to feel better for when Namjoon comes by so we can have our moment without him having to worry about my state, I so dearly want those kisses he spoke of, Namjoon has a way to make me see stars when his lips dance on my own.
So I'll be good, I'll rest well, and then I'll allow myself to melt in his arms, just the way he too desires.

I hear a faint knocking before a door opens followed by hushed words and I turn in my bed to have a look at my closed door, eyes blinking slowly as the light sleep I'd fallen into comes to an end.
Did Hobi come back from work? I let my head fall on my pillow with a sigh, should I start getting ready before Namjoon gets here then? I did want to wear some makeup for him, I don't normally wear any but for Jin and Namjoon, it was something I used to enjoy doing.
I chuckle to myself, my sleepy mind still in disbelief over my situation, I wonder if it will ever sink in that they're actually back, that we finally got a second chance at fulfilling our love, am I just having a very long dream? If so, I wish I'd never wake up.
"Bun? Are you still sleeping?" I hear Hoseok ask and I make a denying noise, after which he opens my door only to huff at my sprawled position on the bed. "Did you not set an alarm? Did you sleep all this time until now?".
