As they walked into the kitchen, Y/N followed closely behind Taehyung, her fingers lightly clutching the hem of his shirt for comfort. Jin noticed the small gesture and shook his head fondly. "You two look like ducklings," he teased, earning a playful glare from Taehyung and a shy pout from Y/N.
Namjoon chuckled, setting plates on the table. "Ignore him. He's just jealous because no one clings to him like that."
Jin gasped dramatically, hand over his heart. "Excuse me! Everyone clings to me because I'm Worldwide Handsome-"
"Hyung, stop." Taehyung deadpanned, pulling out a chair for Y/N before sitting beside her.
Namjoon laughed under his breath as they all gathered around the table. Y/N sat quietly, her big eyes observing everyone as they chatted animatedly. Taehyung leaned closer to her, his voice low. "Eat up. Jin hyung made this with a lot of love... and a little nagging."
Y/N giggled softly, nodding, and began eating as Taehyung placed an extra serving of vegetables on her plate. He shot her a look when she glanced at him, almost daring her not to eat them. She scrunched her nose, but a small smile played on her lips as she obediently took a bite.
Throughout dinner, Y/N watched her brothers and Taehyung with growing comfort. The way Namjoon and Jin argued playfully, how Taehyung joined in with witty remarks, and how Jin fussed over everyone's portions reminded her that this wasn't just her home-this was her family.
Her chest felt warm, and for a moment, she stopped eating, just soaking in the scene.
"You okay?" Taehyung's voice brought her back to the present. His gaze was gentle as he leaned closer, his hand briefly brushing against hers under the table.
She nodded quickly, giving him a small smile.
After dinner, the group lounged around the living room. Jin insisted on watching an old variety show where he'd once embarrassed himself, much to everyone's amusement. Y/N found herself laughing quietly, her small sounds-soft and new-making the others glance at her with affectionate smiles.
At one point, Namjoon leaned back against the couch, crossing his arms as he watched Y/N. "You know," he began, drawing everyone's attention, "it's only been a few months since Y/N started living with us again... but it feels like this is how it's always been."
Jin nodded, grinning. "Yeah. Our little sister's back where she belongs."
Taehyung glanced at Y/N, his smile softening. "And she's getting braver every day," he added, his voice filled with pride.
Y/N blushed, lowering her gaze as she fiddled with the edge of her sleeve.
Namjoon leaned over, ruffling her hair gently. "We're proud of you, kid."
She looked up, meeting Namjoon's warm smile, then Jin's, and finally Taehyung's lingering gaze. Her heart thumped softly against her chest.
As the night grew quieter and Jin shooed everyone to bed, Taehyung walked Y/N to her room. She paused at her doorway, turning to look at him. His hands were tucked into his pockets, and he smiled at her, his voice soft.
"You did well today. You're doing well every day, Y/N."
Her eyes widened slightly before she smiled, nodding shyly. She mouthed a quiet, Thank you.
