RENEWAL || BTS

2

As Yoongi grumpily fixes the broken door handle, Namjoon sits on the couch with his head hung low in shame. Jin stands in front him with a frown, his hands resting on his waist.

The quietness of the room made the younger ones shiver in nervousness. They all know how scary Jin can be when he's mad. The man doesn't say anything and simply glares holes into Namjoon's head. It wasn't until when Hoseok lightly tugs on his shirt sleeve that he had spoken.

"Not now, Hoseok." He says sternly, which had Hoseok shrink away into the corner with the others who had been watching quietly.

"I'm letting you off the hook this time because Taehee is here and I don't want her to witness this. But I swear if you ever break off another handle," He says and points two of his fingers at his eyes before flinging them at Namjoon, who quickly nods his head vigorously.

"Now that it's settled, let's eat!" He claps his hands happily and walks into the kitchen while Namjoon lets out a sigh of relieve.

"Damn... hyung's mood swings are scary..." Jungkook mumbles, and the others nod their heads in agreement as they all make their way into the kitchen.

"Wow hyung! You bought Jajjangmyeon?!" Taehyung exclaims in delight, making Jin laugh and shake his head at the younger's childlike behavior.

"No, I made them. Yoongi-yah! Are you done with the door?!" Jin's voice is annoyingly loud for Yoongi, which had him roll his eyes before making his way over to the kitchen.

"Yes, I'm done with it. You didn't have to shout." He groans as he takes his seat beside Jungkook.

"Okay, kids! Eat up!" Jin says with a clap before sitting down and digging in himself.

"So, Namjoon hyung, how's your dad? Does the house suit him?" Jungkook asks, making everyone look up at Namjoon.

Just a week after Jimin's passing, Taehee moved out of the house back into the city because the place contains too many memories. It's torturous for her.

Not wanting to leave the house alone but also not wanting to just sell it to a random stranger, she was frustrated. Not knowing what to do with the house, she discussed it with Jungkook, and they eventually found out that Namjoon was looking for a house for his father.

He ended up renting the place, saying that he'll buy it once he saves enough money.

"Ah, he loves it! It way better than the city." Namjoon flashes Taehee an eye smile, his dimples showing.

"Why don't you come for a visit? Since you've worked so hard for the past few weeks, you'd probably need some time off to rest too." Namjoon suggests with his brows raised and lips pursed.

They're completely oblivious to the drama that's coming their way.

The journey out of the city was rather noisy since Hoseok and Taehyung decided to tag along.

While Namjoon is driving, Taehee fell asleep on the passenger seat despite the loud noise created by the group at the back of the car. The journey was quite long and they had to switch drivers from time to time, but eventually, they made it to the house safely.

Upon arriving at the house, they were greeted by an old man with a warm and kind smile.

"Appa!" Namjoon cheers and wraps his arms around his father, who chuckles and replicates his actions.

"Aigoo, you brought your friends too! Why, isn't this nice? Being around so many youngsters make me feel youthful again! Don't just stand there, come on in!" And everyone happily follows him into the well-preserved house. Nothing has changed, which Taehee is grateful for.

As they set their bags down, they patiently wait for Namjoon's father to return, which he did soon after with a tray of fruits.

"My name is Park Donghoon. As you all have already known, I'm Namjoon's biological father. But, since you're all his friends, I would like you to call me abeoji instead of sir. Just treat me like your own father, okay?"

Namjoon's father is cheerful, happy, and he gives off a really heartwarming aura. This had made Taehee wonder why his mother broke off her relationship with such a nice man. She had always been curious, but knowing how sentimental Namjoon is about his family problems, she would never dare to ask.

"Yes!" Everyone in the room smiles. After distributing the room arrangement, they all went off to their assigned rooms to settle down. But of course, not before they tease the couple who shares a room.

"How are you feeling, jagi?" Jungkook asks as soon as he closes their bedroom door.

"Everything's great! I'm glad I've let Namjoon oppa the house. Abeoji took such good care of it. Almost everything is the same as before I move out!" She had a wide smile plastered on her face as she says.

Shivers run down her spine when she suddenly has a pair of well-built arms wrapped around her waist as she arranges her luggage. What he said next into her ear in a hushed tone makes her feel warm both inside and out,

"I'm glad you're happy."

"Aigoo~ Lovebirds! You're the slowest again! What have you two been doing in the room? Hm?" The never-ending teases start once again as the couple makes their way into the living room.

"Ah~ We have a couple here? Aigoo... you two look good together! Now you reminded me of my youth when I first fell in love-"

"Here we go." Namjoon groans silently at his father while Taehee beside him giggles.

"That's when I decided that it's time for me to make my move! So I went and bought many roses and-" Not able to finish his sentence, Donghoon is interrupted by a loud slamming of the door.

"Appa! I'm back! Look what I-" The orange haired boy who held a bunch of fruits in his arms stands frozen when he turns to see many unfamiliar faces in the room. But as his eyes landed on Taehee -who has her eyes widened- his heart leaps and he feels the world stop.

What... is this feeling?
