"Meera, I need to lie down here for the waking-up shot." Jimin hissed at Meera, trying to wake her up early the next morning.

"Ao? Oh..." Meera got up, groaning at being woken up and carefully maneuvered herself over Taehyung to get out of bed.

Her soulmate was still deeply asleep, not having moved an inch except to pull her into his arms when she had slipped into the bed. A crew member was waiting behind Jimin to turn on the camera set up above the bed and Meera slipped past him, trying to tame down her hair.

Taehyung woke up a few moments later as usual when he realized Meera wasn't beside him anymore. Instead, he found his best friend looking like he had just woken up.

"Wae? Why are you here?" He asked sleepily, "Where's my Meera?" Jimin rolled his eyes.

"Forgot your best friend now that you have a soulmate? Did you forget you used to cuddle me to sleep before she came?" He teased Taehyung playfully and pretended to be hurt.

"Yaah, why are you talking like this? You know you are still my best friend." Taehyung said, still trying to wake up and make sense of what was happening. His panicked tone made Jimin burst into laughter at which Taehyung realised he was being played.

"Yaah, you were kidding with me." He said, hitting him and Jimin pushed him back.

"Meera was the one sleeping here the whole night. I came a few minutes ago to get waking-up shots so it would look like we slept here."

"Ahh, okay okay. Oh... I slept early yesterday, right? I didn't even realise when I fell asleep."

"Ani, don't worry, we were almost done filming. We just cleaned after you disappeared. We thought you were taking a washroom break or something but then we found you passed out on this bed."

"Ahh, you cleaned up everything. I should have helped you guys. Why didn't you wake me up?"

"It's not a big deal now. We knew you were tired, so we let you sleep. Let's go now. We need to leave early to make it on time for our hot tub reservation."

"I feel so much better now that I have showered and washed my hair." Jae commented as she dried her hair with the hair dryer.

'Aish, me too. Curly hair is so hard to manage, especially while travelling." Meera groaned as she raked leave-in conditioner through her hair.

"The guys are so happy." Jae commented as she watched them relax around the lounge and take turns washing up. They were at the hot tub place and had showered after two long days of being unable to wash up properly.

"I love watching them like this." Meera cooed at Jungkook who was giggling at something Jimin was showing him.

"Girls, come on, get your lunches or the guys won't leave anything for you." Junghoon called for them and both of the girls hurried over to the table where a huge assortment of food was ordered for everyone. 

The members who were crowding around the table politely made space for Meera and Jae when they approached.

"Meerie, let's go outside on the lawn and eat." Taehyung dragged Meera who had started to complain about how he wasn't supposed to pick up Jungkook's nickname for her.

"Here, I know you love salmon." Yoongi passed her a box of her favourite item and Jae beamed with joy, warming him up even though she wasn't touching him.

"Oooh hyung, you have never given us our favourite food before." Jimin teased and Yoongi gave him a flat look before proceeding to go sit on a couch.

"Yaah, how can you say that? Yoongi hyung always cooks our favourite things for us. Do you know how hard it is to cook for 7 or 8 people who eat like pigs?" Hoseok defended his hyung.
