I was surprised to find that it was morning. I thought we slept through the entire day, but it was barely 9. They were still lounging around the table, mostly looking like they've been up awhile. Apart from Gyumin. He looks like he hadn't slept in weeks. Probably stayed up all night playing games. Or wanking.

'Well, well, well. Look who is showing up fashionably late.' Hoseok grinned as he crosed his fingers under his chin, leaning his elbows on the table

'Am I the only one wondering where he came from?' Jungkook grinned and wiggled his eyebrows, the rest of the guys turning into equally cocky children.

'I don't remember having a couch upstairs...' Namjoon cocked his eyebrow, taking a sip from his coffee while the others snickered

I didn't feel like starting the morning off with the murder, but I think it is a possibility now.

Taehyung looked around, then leaned over the table, almost whispering, asking a simple, one-word question. 'Rain?'

Like dogs waiting for a treat, all 7 of them leaned in slightly, expecting me to throw them the said treat. But then again, I'm in too good of a mood.

'Yes.' I finally answered, and they started celebrating like they just won jackpot

Jin just nodded with a massive smile like he's congratulating me. Namjoon and Taehyung looked so relieved that they nearly melted off the chair. Hoseok was running around his chair, squealing like a little girl, while Yoongi was laughing at him and giving me thumbs-up at the same time. And those two were, for some reason, hugging each other, as if they're congratulating each other.

'Wait, wait, wait. What happened?' Yoongi then leaned over the table much like Taehyung

'How??' Hoseok added into it

'Can you not?' I sigh

'Can you not?' Yoongi sasses back. 'I nearly pulled my fucking hair out watching you for months and months, and I've almost gone bald from the stress watching you two... not be you!'

Hella came to my side and whined, putting her head on my thigh.

'Look, even she wants to know!' Gyumin exclaims

'It was excruciating, J. We're all happy. We're just curious.' Taehyung smiled fondly, which didn't really leave much choice

I took a deep breath, trying my damn hardest not to flame up with joy. 'I wanted to see her one more time before Christmas was over, so I went up there. And as it turned out, she was coming down to find me anyway. We talked and went through a shit-ton, left another 2 shit-tons, and started over.'

'Started over? As in-'

'As in you're all still a bunch of gossiping old ladies.'

Rain's voice made each and every one of them fly back into their chairs, sticking their backs to it with perfect postures, and acting like kids caught doing something they were told not to do.

'Obviously!' Jin raised his hand and then let them slap against his thighs

'Come on! We wanna know!' Jungkook tried to pull his puppy face, which made her laugh, so I can't complain

'Well...' she smiled as she walked right up to me... and sat on my lap. 'He proposed. I said yes. Married again.'

Another round of their celebrations was going on in the background, but all I could focus on was the woman in my arms. The bright smile she was giving me.

I didn't expect her to do this. Not yet. To just be... herself so much. But as shocked as I was, I didn't hesitate to secure her on my lap and pull her closer. Her hands locked behind my neck, and I kept mine around her waist. She can handle her hip being touched, but any souther than that, and she stiffens. So I'll keep above it.
