Claire's POV:

"Guys I'm home!," I yell as I walk into the dorm. Their manager wanted to show me around the company and talk to the employees. Especially the one's that I'll be working with the most. And then he suggested that we have a company dinner as another way for me to talk to them. Which was a bit difficult because not all of them knew English, but he was nice enough to translate for me. I walk into the living room, it's a bit quiet tonight. I see Suga sitting on the couch, his head hanging, and his hands in his lap. "Suga?" His head pops up and looks at me. "What's wrong?" "Um. Nothing. I just wanted to stay up till you got home to make sure you got back safe." I sit down by him and hold one of his hands. "Thanks for waiting for me," I smile at him. "Suga, thanks for being there for me since the beginning. I really can't say that enough. RapMon told me what happened that night at the club, how you were the first one to notice that something was wrong and that you carried me all the way to the hospital. And the fact you were there for me at the airport. I had no idea where I was going and I felt lost. I think I met you for a reason." 

Suga's POV:

I look down at our hands and look back at her. This is the perfect chance to tell her how I feel. The two people she comes to the most is Nam Joon and I. "Claire, hearing that means a lot to me. I also been wondering this but, do you have a bo-" I look past her and I see Tae glaring at me while leaning against the wall. It's sort of scary because it's also dark. "Do I have a what?" "Um. Nothing. You must be tired." "Now you say that, I am. I kept turning down drinks at the company dinner and I felt awkward at some points." "Why did you turn down drinks?" "Because.. I knew I should have told you guys that night, but I don't drink." I try to hide my shock, "you don't drink?" "I don't." "Have you ever drank?" She shakes her head. "I know most girls my age drink, but I chose not to. And I'm happy this way." "That's not a problem, I'll remember that whenever we're out." "Thanks Suga." She hugs me and rests her head on my shoulder. I wrap my arms around her and look up at Tae who's still glaring at me, but this time he has a fist. I can tell he's jealous because I'm closer to her than he is. 

Claire pulls away first, "well. I'm gonna wash up and get ready for bed." "We're sorry that you have to sleep on the couch." "It's not a problem, it's actually comfy." "I'll get up first." I get up and when I reach Tae I grab the front of shirt and pull him with me into our room. I close the door and I hear Claire go into the bathroom. "What the hell was that about," Tae spits out. "Woe you guys, what the hell just happened," Jimin asks. "This one getting all close to Claire." "Not my fault she's more comfortable with me. Also, if you wanted to talk to Claire, you should have waited for her to get home. But you didn't." Tae and I glare at each other and Jimin gets between us. "First of all, you two shouldn't be fighting with Claire home." "It's fine, she can't hear or understand us." I quickly raise a fist but Jimin grabs my arm. "Do you know how bad I feel that we're talking about her behind her back, and in a language that she doesn't understand?" "Then go ahead, speak in English." I look down and Jimin lets go of my arm. "Why can't you two just get along." "And why are you staying in here anyway? This isn't your room." "Switched with RapMon, so that way we he deals with three guys, and I deal with two." 

I hear Claire walk out of the bathroom, "we need to stop. She'll know something is wrong and ask us." "Agreed." "Finally, you two agree on something," Jimin sighs.

Claire's POV:

I finish making breakfast, everyone is slowly rolling out of bed and getting ready. I wanted to make them a breakfast that is known in the U.S. that I'm sure they've never had. I smile at what I made and put the lid on the pot. "Breakfast is ready!" Today is my first official day at the company, although I don't really know my schedule. "You cooked?," I hear someone say. "Yeah!-" I turn and stop when I see a shirtless Jimin in a towel. I can tell he just got out of the shower, water is dripping off of his hair and down his body. I quickly turn around and grab the front of my shirt in front of my heart. Oh my god! Jimin is one of my bias wreckers whenever he's shirtless! Calm down Claire! You should've known this would happen living with seven guys! "What's wrong Claire?" "Jimin, go put on some damn pants and a shirt," I her RapMon say. "We have a girl living here now." "I smelled food and was curious." "You don't eat until you're dressed." "Yeah yeah." "You can look now Claire." I slowly turn and see RapMon. "I'm sorry about that. And by your expression, you're not used to seeing that." "More like forgetting I'm living with seven guys for a split second." He laughs and ruffles his hair a bit. 

"What did you make?" "One of my favorite southern dishes. I got up really early to start." "When did you get all of the ingredients?" "This morning as well." "Shit Claire. You didn't have to do that." "It's my first day, and I wanted to make breakfast for all of you as a thank you." RapMon pulls me close and hugs me. "You're too sweet Claire." My heart is beating fast, he just grabbed me by the waist and pulled me towards him. "Uh-um-th-th-thanks." "What's wrong?" I gently push him away but I don't look up at him. "It's nothing. I promise." "I smell food, what did you make?," I hear V say. "Everyone needs to sit down and I'll show you all." "Come on guys! Claire has food ready!" "Food!," I hear Jin yell and he quickly runs out still in his pj's. "Where's the food?" It's so funny that I can't help but laugh. Jin really loves food. "Can I start eating?" "Not yet, everyone has to be seated." "Come on guys! I want to eat!!," Jin whines. "Hold your horses Jin!," Suga yells. I start setting the table and the guys help me. "So Claire, you bake and cook?" "Yeah Jin, had to learn since I'm on my own." "How good are you?" "People always tell me that they love my baking." "I need to try your baking and you try my cooking." "Jin cooked last night, it was good." "Ugh, I wish I was there." "I'll cook again soon. I would love it if you cook with me." I smile at him, "yeah. I would love that." 

Everyone finally comes out and they take a seat. "I told you to put on a shirt Jimin." "I don't want to dirty my shirt." RapMon rolls his eyes, goes in the kitchen, and comes out with a apron. He throws it at Jimin's face, "put that on." "But that's my apron," Jin speaks up. "Right now, that boy needs to cover up." "Fine." Jimin puts on the apron, "happy?" "Very." "Okay, guys. You ready?" "Yeah!," they tell in unison. I go in the kitchen and bring out a bowl of biscuits made from scratch with butter on a plate. After I put that on the table I get the pot of breakfast gravy with the ladle. "What is this?" "Biscuits and gravy. My favorite southern dish. Dig in." I sit down between J-Hope and Jungkook and grab a biscuit. "How do we eat this?," Jungkook asks. "I'll show you." I cut open a biscuit, spread some butter, on, and then poured some gravy on top. "Just like that. Or you can just eat the biscuit plain." The guys slowly do the same. Everyone looks at Jin, "okay I'll take the first bite." Jin takes a bite and his eyes go big. "How is it?" He takes another bite and smiles at me making me smile. I know that he likes it. 

Everyone starts eating, "oh my god Claire this is good," Jungkook says with a mouth full. "It really is," V does the same. "I have to dance even more to work this off in case you bake later so I can eat it," J-Hope says with a mouth full. "Enjoy it J-Hope, also, you're dancing today?" "Yeah. I'm working on choreography for Baepsae." "Can I see it? I love dancing and learning new routines." "Wait, you dance?" "Yep." J-Hope stares at me, he looks really happy. "What dances do you know?" "Well for you guys, Boy In Luv, Bulletproof, half of Dope, War Of Hormone-" "You know that many?" "Yeah, and I also no I Need You. I also learned other dance routines." "Can I see it?," J-Hope asks. "Sure, I don't mind." J-Hope smiles, which made me smile. 

Suga's POV:

I watched how Jin and J-Hope reacted. Claire shares a love of cooking with Jin and shares a love for dancing with J-Hope. And both of them looked really happy that she does. Oh no. I know that look. I'm pretty sure I had that look at a point. They're starting to like her more. I take another bite of my food, god this is so good. This is causing more competition for me. I look at Tae, he doesn't seem happy. But it's a good thing that Claire doesn't notice. She's to busy talking to J-Hope about dancing and when she can meet up with him today. I know that look, I know that look well. I hope Jungkook doesn't get that look soon. But by the looks of it, Claire is his type. They both like dancing, they both draw based on her cards she gave us, and he wants a girl who can cook, which is Claire. "Claire, do you skateboard?," Jungkook asks. "Um, I don't. I really want to learn though." "Why were you nervous about answering?" She tucks her hair behind her ears and looks away from him. "Claire?" "It's just more difficult for me to learn, that's all." "Well if you want, I could teach you." "Really?" "I don't mind," he smiles. Shit. It's the look! I just want to pull my hair and groan, but I'm staying silent. She's giving the guys more of a reason to like her!!
