Bliss.

Loved.

These are the few words that could describe how she feels at this exact moment as she plays with Jimin, Taehyung, and the other children. She feels important to someone, and she can't help but feel like she used to feel like this at one point before.

She remembers when Jimin had told her that the two of them used to be best friends, but why does she currently feel something more than just friendship?

Maybe it's all just an illusion? Maybe they were actually just friends.

"Jihyun", she hears and she looks down to see a little boy frowning while gently tugging at her shirt. She hums a response as she kneels down to his height. "Why do you look sad", the boy asks and she shakes her head as she grins widely, quickly picking him up and hugging him close as she spins in a circle. He laughs in joy as her spinning comes to a stop and she shakes her head at the dissiness.

As she begins to set down the little boy, she hears a familiar voice in the far distance.

"Sorry I left you alone to take care of the kids Tae-"

The voice is cut off when his eyes flicker from Jihyun and then to Jimin, his lips forming a smile in response as he tugs on the hand he was holding. A girl steps out of the bushes from behind and she pushes her glasses higher onto the bridge of her nose as she shines a bright smile to everyone.

"What took you so long Jungkook", Taehyung asks as he sets down one of the little girls and he jogs over towards them.

"Sorry, I was helping Mahi", Jungkook replies and Mahi gives a shy but sweet smile. Jihyun immediately notices a scrape on the side of the younger girls arm and she quickly jogs over with Jimin following right behind her.

"Is she okay", Jihyun asks Jungkook worriedly and her eyes flicker to the girl, her hands immediately and gently taking her arm to examine the cut.

"I'm fine. Please don't worry", Mahi replies as she winces when Jihyun's fingers brush against the cut.

"Come with me so I can help you clean it. I'm not good with bandaging, but I can make sure to clean it so it won't get infected", Jihyun says and Jungkook immediately looks towards Jimin with a disapproved look.

"Jihyun, Mahi will be fine", Jungkook says quickly as he tries to steer the girl away.

"She needs to be properly treated-"

"Look, Jihyun", Jungkook starts off as he pulls the younger girl in front of him, "her arm is already healing. She'll be fine", he continues as he shows Jihyun the girls arm.

"Everyone here heals fast", Mahi states and she's right, her arm did heal pretty quickly. It's almost gone already.

"But how-"
