Found Family; The Eternal

16, Welcome home

" Vannie POV "

The banner strung along the entryway has "Welcome home, Yoongi!" Written, and all of the decorations have his face on them. Cringy, but funny.

Namjoon throws confetti on the floor, and I re-arrange the seats at the table. Jungkook and Taehyung work on hanging up yet again another poster, while Hobi and Jimin get the cake ready at the table. Namjoon's phone dings, and Taehyung flicks the lights. We all duck behind the table, anxiously waiting for the door to open.

Soon enough, the door swings open, and we jump up as the lights turn on. We yell out at once, "Welcome home, Yoongi-hyung!!!"

Jin is pushing him in the wheelchair, and Yoongi's gummy smile is beyond huge. He smiles ear to ear, looking around at all the decorations.

We all walk around the table, and Jin pushes him farther into the house. Yoongi laughs, a tear rolling down his cheek. "Guys.. This is so sweet."

Jimin smiles, "Of course."

He nods, "Thank you so much."

Jin hands Yoongi a tissue, and he wipes his tears. We all gather around the table, Suga standing up from the wheelchair and sitting at the table with all of us.

We cut the cake and sing happy birthday (Welcome home Yoongi version), and we dig in. It's Yoongi's favorite cake -- Vanilla with barely any frosting, because he doesn't like sweets -- And the entire time we eat, he just smiles happily.

Taehyung kicks my knee under the table, and I shoot him a nasty glare. "Watch your feet, bozo!"

He squints, "I didn't do anything!"

Jimin, who is sitting directly next to me, raises an eyebrow. "You've kicked me lile thirty times thinking it was Van."

Tae's eyes widen, and Jungkook bursts out in laughter. "What's with the beef, bro?" He smirks at Tae.

Tae smacks Jungkook's arm, "Shut up."

Yoongi rolls his eyes, "Quit fighting. All of you. You're acting like children."

Jungkook rolls his eyes, "Yoongi-hyung, should I get another tattoo tomorrow?"

Tae gasps, "I wanna go!"

And soon enough, every single person besides Jin and I had said yes. Jin's reasoning is probably unrelated to mine, and I sit anxiously hoping nobody asks for my opinion.

"That's a bad idea. Do you know tattoos can't be removed easily?" Jin deadpans.

Suga whines, "Come on, Jin-hyung. They're still young! When I was Jungkook's age, I did crack and all sorta stuff. Let them all live."

Jin's eyes widen, "Okay, fine. Vannie, are you coming?"

Shit. Of course, Jin asked! I gulp, "Um.. I.. Uh.. I.."

Tae smirks, "She's definitely scared of needles or something! Scaredy cat!"

I kick Tae under the table, "Nuh uh! That's not true. I just don't like tattoos!"

Jimin grins, "What if we all got matching ones, though?" He gives me puppy dog eyes. No way.

I pout, "Okay, fine. But something SMALL!"

Jungkook's mouth falls wide open, "HOW COME JIMIN'S PUPPY DOG EYES WORK BUT NOT MINE?!"

Later that night, we've made reservations for the tattoo shop. Jungkook has gotten fourteen tattoos here, so I think we're in good hands.

We all walk in, and my arms are linked with Tae as we skip.

Gigi?

My eyes widen, and I nearly scream. "Gigi?!"

Gigi turns to look at me, gasping. "VANASIA?"

We run to each other, our arms immediately wrapping around each other. We hug each other tightly, and she kisses both of my cheeks as a way of greeting me. I think she forgot I had a huge crush on her back in middle school..

I grin, "Gigi! How are you in Korea?!"

She laughs, "Long story! How are you an idol now?! You have billboards everywhere." She scoffs.

I giggle, "Long story.." I look to Jungkook.

She looks behind me at all of the members, and I see her get dizzy. I grab onto her and sit her down, laughing. "Don't pass out!"

She gasps for air, pushing me aside to stare at Namjoon, who tilts his head with a grin.

She walks slowly, holding out her hands like a ninja. "Are.. you real..?" She says skeptically, pulling her ginger hair in a ponytail.

Namjoon raises his brows, confused, "Uhm, yeah. I think so?"

Jin smacks him, "What do you mean you THINK so?"

Yoongi coughs loudly, "Is nobody going to talk about this random reunion? Who is this girl, Vannie? And how do you even know her?"

"Oh, she was my childhood best friend. She moved, though." I laugh, looking at her. "She hasn't changed a bit."

She scoffs, "I would say the same about you, but you dyed your gorgeous blonde hair, and now we're fighting. You looked beautiful before."

Blush creeps on my cheeks, and I gulp. "Thank you. You still look just as pretty, too."

Taehyung gags, "Disgusting. Oh my god, I'm leaving. See you, weirdo." He glares, leaving to the back where he can get his tattoo done.

Apparently, Yoongi called ahead and let them know the tattoo we'll all be getting. YAY!

The rest of the boys leave, but Gigi and I go back into her room. It gives us time to catch up.

Her and I sit down. She gets all of her stuff ready, and I sit there anxiously.

She smiles, "I thought you hated needles. Why get a tattoo? You refused in the bathroom that one time when I begged you to let me practice on you."

I roll my eyes, "You didn't know what you were doing, and my mom would've killed me, Gi. You know that." I laugh.

She wiggles her brows, "Do you have a crush? I mean, it's been years. Catch me up. Do you have a boyfriend? Or girlfriend? Come on, who's your crush?"

You. I mean, what? What. No, I don't like Gigi. It's been years, and I like Vayle. Yup. I like Vayle. I'm straight. I just miss her! That's why I feel like this.

I gulp, "There's uh.." I hesitate, shaking my head. "There's nobody. I haven't really found anyone."

She looks to me briefly, "You crushed on me in middle school and now can't find anyone. Cute."

I blush, "Uhm, no. I've had crushes since then.. Anyways." I change the subject.

She smiles, pulling out the stencil for the tattoo. "Where do you want it?"

I think for a moment, biting my lip. "Thigh!" I pull up my shorts.

She smiles, taping the stencil on. "I promise I'm more experienced now." I laugh, and she brings out the tool. "It' not that bad, okay?"

I nod, "Okay..."

And when I look down, the stencil is for the outline of the number "8"
