Taehyung looks at you. "Ah Y/N, it's been a while!" His boxy smile makes you smile. It really has been quite some time. You and Eun Ae haven't really seen any family since your parents passed away from a car accident nearly two months ago.

"Cuzie Tae!" Eun Ae excitedly says running into his arms. She attaches to him like a koala. "It's been forever!" She tucks her head into his side, comforting herself.

Taehyung smiles down at her, then he looks back up at you. "Care to join in?" He holds out an arm to you.

You nod and join in the hug. "I missed you Taehyung," you say, clutching onto the shoulder of his flannel. You missed the feeling of his hugs, and it felt amazing to be able to feel his warmth again.

"Me too!" Eun Ae adds. She was sandwiched between you and Taehyung. She squeezes out and runs over to talk to Jimin.

You and Taehyung chuckle. He pulls away from the hug and his dark chocolate eyes look into yours. You can see his eyes were the least bit watery. "How've you been?" He softly asks.

You feel your eyes go watery to the question. "Staying strong," You quietly let out.

He pulls you in and allows you to put your head on his shoulder. "You are strong. Never forget that." He gently sways you back and forth, comforting you.

You lift your head and look at him. "Thanks, Tae," you smile.

His eyes twinkle as he pats your shoulder. "Just protecting my cousins."

"So where are you gonna stay while you're in town?" You ask.

Jimin jumps in. "With me!" His small hands cup his adorable cheeks.

Taehyung laughs. "Yup. I'll be with Jimin. He actually doesn't live too far away from you, so if you need anything, call either one of us."

You rub the back of your head. "Hah, well I don't really have Jimin's number..."

Jimin holds out a slip of paper to you. "I got you fam."

You take the slip of paper. It had his number on it. "Did you have this prepared all this time or what?" You chuckle.

"Mayyybe," he winks. "Always be prepared!"

Protective mother Taehyung steps in between the two of you. "Now now Jimin, we didn't come so you could flirt with my cousin."

You feel a rush to your cheeks. You hold your sweater sleeve to your face so neither of them sees.

Jimin sighs. "You're right, that's for some other time." He smiles at Taehyung. Taehyung didn't really want to smile back.

"Ahhh, I'm hungry Tae let's go get some food!" He jumps topics. "It was nice seeing you, Y/N and Eun Ae!"

You and Eun Ae wave as the two crazy boys walk out of your apartment. It felt good to have company.

You lean back into the sofa. You look down at the slip of paper with Jimin's phone number. You then pull out your phone to insert the number into it, but there was a message.

Unknown: Hello it's Jiminie! I beat you to texting first. :)

You feel your cheeks get warm. No Y/N, he's just your cousin's friend, who is blessed with looks. You shake your head as you create a contact for him.

You: This isn't gonna be a normal thing. This is only for EMERGENCIES.

Cuz's Creepy Fren 😝: Sure, we can start off like that ;)

You: You're funny. More creepy than funny though.

Cuz's Creepy Fren 😝: That's how I'll win you! Now get some rest lovely <3

You: Stay in your lane boi. -_-

You chuckle as you set your phone on the table. The moment it touches the table it vibrates again.

Tae😎: If he annoys you, let me know. I have a closet prepared for him.

You: Aren't you staying at his house though.....? XD

Tae😎: That's what makes me so cool, doing the impossible.

You: Then finding a girlfriend must be possible since you can't do that.

Tae😎: WHO'S SIDE ARE YOU ON?!

You: My own >:)

Tae😎: Pure evil. Get some sleep now, don't make me come over there.

"Is it really that late already?" You ask yourself as you look up at the clock.

10:32PM

Eun Ae should be probably head to bed. You stand up and head over to her room. You lightly knock on the wooden door.

"Eun Ae," You quietly whisper, peering into the room. It was dark in the room, so that's a good sign.

You sneak inside and stand by her bed. She was fast asleep grasping her favorite koala stuffy. You smile and kiss the tip of her forehead.

"Goodnight," you whisper. You quietly sneak back out of the room, carefully closing the door behind you.

You tiptoe your way to your bedroom, trying not to wake Eun Ae. The creak of your door breaks the silence you were trying to keep. You lift the covers of your bed and go under them. You can finally relax.

Until you feel something fuzzy brush across your foot.
