Taehyung held onto his suitcase tightly, getting nervous as he entered Jisoo's dorm. His eyes scanned the surroundings, where he would live for a week or more, depending on Jungkook's apology.

The dorm was clean, except a few water bottles and plates on the table. Not that he minded, his own dorm was a mess. This was nothing compared to his.

Jisoo nudged his arm, "My deep apologies for the mess, we had a lazy weekend." She grinned.

Taehyung shook his head, "You've been at my place," he winked.

Jisoo smiled and motioned him to follow her, she led him to a room, her room.

Taehyung started panicking first but calmed his nerves as soon as Jisoo spoke, "You can stay here while I can sleep with Lisa."

Taehyung gulped, "Wouldn't that disturb you?"

"No silly, we usually spend the days together in her room so I've got absolutely no problem."

Taehyung raised a brow, "Y-you sure?"

Jisoo rolled her eyes, "Damn sure." She jerked her face towards the door, "Open it and rest, I'll get you something to eat."

Taehyung watched Jisoo move out of sight, humming a soft tune. He looked towards the door, his hand unconsciously on the door knob. He twisted it slowly, peeking a little from the crack before he opened it fully. A very decent room came into his sight.

There were two to three shelves with books. Small figurines on top of the shelves. Moving his eyes more, he noticed the endless amount of mangas and games next to Jisoo's bed. She's a hardcore gamer, indeed.

Her bed had just the right amount of pillows, not to mention it looked super comfy. Taehyung just wanted to plop down and drift to a deep sleep.

He took steps forward and put his luggage down on the wooden floor. He was impressed by how organized Jisoo kept her things.

But his favourite thing was Jisoo's scent.

It was scattered all over the place, wherever he moved, her scent entered his nose with a blissful pleasure. He never thought he would be whipped for a girl's scent.

He smiled, hoping he'll get to know Jisoo more during these days. Being with her made all his worries wash away and he entered his wonderland. He felt safe, loved and appreciated.

"Tae!"

Jisoo's voice called from the living room, he spinned on his heels before walking out of the room.

"Yea-"

His eyes widened as he saw the succulent meals, fresh drinks and sweet desserts on the table. His jaw dropped, "What the heck?" He whispered.

Jisoo started laughing, "Come eat."

Taehyung literally ran towards the table, "Y-you made this?"

Jisoo nodded, "I wanted to make your first meal here special," she giggled. He felt like hugging her so bad, but controlled his emotions.

"Jisoo, this is too much. I'm sorry to bother you," he bit his lip.

It wasn't long before he felt a hand smack his nape, he immediately yelped in surprise and rubbed at the area. "Ouch?!"

Jisoo sighed, "Stop with the goody two shoes act," she rolled her eyes.

Taehyung smiled, "I haven't had a proper meal in two years. Thank you."

Jisoo's snarling voice was now turned into a whisper, "Why?"

Taehyung looked away, "I didn't feel like eating or sleeping, just worked or read my books to distract me."

Jisoo cleared her throat, "I'm sorry," she whispered.

"W-why?"

"My brother stayed with you all this time yet never told me about your struggles or even helped you. Instead, made fun of you. I'm sorry. I hope what he did won't affect our friendship?" She innocently raised a brow.

Taehyung smiled, "Of course."

After years of loneliness, Taehyung felt such joy while eating. Jisoo's presence, laugh and company could make him endure every pain and fight every obstacle. He just needed her support.
