          "Kids!" Jin called out as he settled a pot on the dinner table. "It's time to eat! Get down here, all of you!"

          Namjoon looked up from reading a book on the living room couch and walked to the table. He sat down and complimented Jin's skillful cooking.

          "Hey, little boys!" Jin shouted again. "I told you to come down, didn't I?"

          Again, there was no answer. Namjoon stood up from his seat and gave a smile.

          "I'll go get them." he volunteered.

          Namjoon walked up the stairs carefully and knocked on Jimin's door.

          "It's time to eat, guys." he said.

          Jimin's door flew open and Jungkook stood there, looking cautiously behind Namjoon. Joonie looked confused and blocked his view jokingly.

          "What?" he asked looking behind him.

          "Where's Taehyung?" Jungkook asked.

          "I don't know. He's probably with Hoseok." Namjoon replied.

          Jungkook eyed Namjoon carefully and nodded slowly. Jimin peeked from behind Jungkook's shoulder and sniffed the air.

          "Food?" Jimin yelped. "Food!"

          He pushed the maknae aside and ran down the stairs. Namjoon stared at him as Jungkook was picking himself up from his fall.

          "Yah, that little kid. Even I'm more mature than him!"

          Jungkook bounded down the stairs as Namjoon went to go to Hoseok's room. He heard whining and yelling.

          "What..." he murmured. He didn't want to think that way. They would never do such a thing.

          Namjoon hesitantly knocked on the door and stood back, waiting for them to open the door. The sounds continued and he was beginning to feel uncomfortable. He couldn't leave Jin waiting long, so he twisted the door knob and saw movement on the bed.

          "Guys," Namjoon called loudly enough for them to hear him.

          Taehyung appeared in Hoseok's arms as he tickled him. Namjoon sighed in relief and interrupted them.

          "Let's go, Jin prepared dinner."

          "Aw," Hoseok whined. "I'm not done punishing Taehyung!"

          "Let go of me, you weirdo!" Taehyung giggled and hopped off the bed as Hoseok chased him. They zoomed past Namjoon and ran down the stairs.

          "Seriously, they are the weirdest."

                                   •

          Jin looked pleased as everyone gathered at the dinner table. Jimin looked excited as he waited for the lid of the plate to be remove to reveal the food. Yoongi looked tired as always and sometimes he would close his eyes every now and then. Hoseok was casting playful glances at Taehyung. Jungkook asked Jin to open his milk carton. And Namjoon just tried to focus on not breaking anything like last time.

          Jin waved his hand to get everyone's attention and smiled.

          "I shall reveal my scrumptious meal now!"

          He took of the lid and there lay unusual food. Everyone looked confused except for Jimin. He was excited to try new foods.

          "What is that?" Jungkook spoke.

          Jin laughed his window wipe laugh.

          "I wanted us to try something different other than Korean food. This is called meatloaf." he emphasized the meatloaf, trying to sound smart.

          "But Jin, we are Korean!" Taehyung complained.

          "Yes, yes, but I want to expose you to different things." he insisted, giving each member a piece of meat.

          "Please don't tell me you'll cook this on Christmas." Hoseok begged.

          "No, maybe, I'm not sure. I'm still thinking about what I should make, but eat your dinner now and be quiet."
