jimin went out to the cafe for his sunday shift like always- tattered beanie, ripped skinny jeans, and a cashmere turtleneck sweater.

unexpectedly, he had grown fond of the tall man who came in to the cafe everyday, knocking a chair down or breaking the mug's handles.

jimin smiled unknowingly when he came in again today, but it went down when he say the puppy boy- hoseok- who had helped him pick out the puppies for her. "welcome to paprika bean cafe. what would you two like for today?"

"my usual for me. hoseok?"

"uhm, a caramel macchiato for me please."

namjoon had gone to sit down at the table but hoseok stood there at the counter. "so, how are the puppies?"

"they're doing good. they grow really fast."

"yeah... it really surprised me when you said to adopt all of them. m'glad they found a home." jimin handed the mugs over to hoseok before smiling.

"me too."

hoseok went to sit down with namjoon, the two bringing the atmosphere of the place up. jimin sat behind the counter, waiting for the bell on the door to ring while reading a book she had gotten from the library.

his short-lived boredom was saved when she walked through the door, leashes in hand.

"jimin... my mom just showed up at the apartment. what do i do?"

jimin took the apron and his beanie off, calling out for jackson to take over the register.

"put this on. uhm, we're gonna have to wait here out, so let's go to the library in the meantime." after the two went into the library's staff room, courtesy of yoongi, jimin called up seokjin to tell him the bad news.

'hold on. i'm on my way. as soon as i text you, run to my car and we'll go to the countryside.'

"okay. we're counting on you."

yoongi came in with a backpack and normal looking clothes for once along with the two from the cafe.

"what're you two doing here?"

"we're coming along." hoseok sat down in front of the girl, petting the three huskies in front of him. namjoon was going to pet them until jimin and hoseok yelled at him in warning, just in case he hurt them.

as soon as jimin's phone went off, all of them went running into the SUV has fast as they could. taehyung and jungkook were there, too, and everybody was squished in with each other.

"seokjin, where are we going?"

"dunno yet."

"i have a house down in daegu. we can stay there." yoongi shrugged, the puppy in his lap, hades, barking at the sudden movement.

on the way to daegu, it began to rain hard, making it impossible to see. inevitably, they had to pull over.

they were in busan, jungkook and jimin's hometown. jungkook called his older brother who had gladly brought them in. his husband was sleeping on the couch when they had walked in.

"no disrespect, but since you're a girl, please sleep in the living room." it was two in the morning when taehyung had come down from the room he was sharing with two other boys to get a glass of water.

"oi, taehyung, you're not asleep yet?" she was softly petting the fur of mint and mochi, hades playing with the loose strings of the pillow.

"mm. i can't sleep so i figured that i'd get some water."

"tae-taehyung- your eyes are so dark? you should really go to sleep."

"sorry. goodnight, sunshine."

"goodnight, tae."
