29th December, 2017
Hannam Hills Apartments,
9 am KST
The boys were working out in the gym. It was a bright day- everyone was anticipating for the performance that was going to take place the next day. Plus, it was Taehyung's birthday. The planning started that day itself. They probably couldn't spare time on 30th, so Jin planned out the lunch and dinner that day.
"And we need a cake, till today night" he said, a notebook in his hand and a pen in his mouth
"Leave that up to me" Jimin added
"Great"
"I'll keep him busy" Jungkook said, "I'll make sure that he won't sense anything about tonight's celebration."
"Okay"
"I'll take care of the meals- I'll discuss with the cooks in some time." Helena said.
Jin lifted his eyes from the book to her face and asked softly, "Aren't we going to cook anymore?"
She sensed a tinge of bitterness in his voice. Of course, he meant something else.
"What? No, I don't mean that. But I thought that you don't cook much since we shifted here."
"Oh no, I do." Jin cleared his throat, "I didn't get much time, rather- I didn't have much energy. These two weeks were tiring, and you weren't around."
Jimin and Jungkook slowly backed off and escaped the conversation. They almost dashed to Yoongi on the way. He rolled his eyes and walked in the kitchen. Helena pursed her lips and stepped aside.
Yoongi snatched the fridge door and rummaged in for three complete minutes. Jin stop talking and he and Helena watched him the entire time.
"What do you need, Yoongi?" Jin asked, walking closer to him.
"My mint bars and diet coke. They aren't in there. Did you see them?"
"I don't think I- "
"ALSO, MY SWEET CRACKERS ARE GONE" he yelled and shut off the fridge. Jin glared at him.
"I have no idea." Jin calmly said.
"Freaking hell, we should buy a fridge with a digital safe inside. I don't like my food vanishing like this."
He said and walked out mumbling and banging his feet on the floor.
It was past noon and the boys surrounded the dining table. Three of the regular chefs, including the spy, served the food. It was Taehyung's favourite dish. He looked around with happy eyes and squealed 'thank you' to Jin.
"I love you all so much!" he exclaimed, "So much" he looked at the spy and said further.
The boys ate with bliss, munching away their thoughts and gulping down joy. After the meal, everyone went to their respective rooms, while Helena checked on her twitter updates, fan pages and started hunting down antis online. Nothing much was up- no hackers in movement, no trolls, no keyboard warriors. She sighed in relief... maybe it's because he's dead.
Taehyung called her later to his room. He showed her his childhood photos and told her long forgotten stories his grandma used to tell him.
"I don't know why I feel like sharing these things with you right now" he said, "Tomorrow I'll be turning 23, and Halmeoni won't be around."
She cupped her hands on his and put her head on his shoulder. He rested his head back on hers.
"Its okay, Tae." that was all she could say to comfort him.
They sat like that silently for some time. She felt like he cried a bit, though she couldn't see his face. He suddenly got up, wiped his eyes and took her outside his room.
"Where are we going?" she asked
"To the roof top" he said smilingly

The couple witnessed the beautiful sun ball drowning softly behind the lathered white clouds. The sky was coloured in hues of reds and violets, the winds were still and cold. Tae held her hand and both of them sat on one of the stone benches on the terrace. They said nothing. It was this wordless conversation that kept them close to each other's hearts. Eyes spoke more than the mouth.
"Well..." he turned towards her.
"Well?"
"I think I have to admit that you look beautiful right now" he blushed and said
"What do you mean by 'right now'? Don't I always look the same?"
"Ah..." he looked at her teasingly, "Yes you do, but not more than me!"
She hit his chest and it made him laugh even more.
"How do you fight people with tiny punches like these?" he continued, "Don't they burst out laughing?"
She hit harder on his shoulder
"Alright, alright Miss tough spy! I was kidding, ok? Stop hitting me now"
The very next moment she pulled him for a kiss.
"You are beautiful. And strong. And mine. I love you." he said after breaking away.
"Tae?"
"Yes?"
"I love you too, but you really talk a lot."

"Here, the chocolate sauce" Helena handed Jimin a small piping bag
"You sure that I should start decorating just like that?" he asked
"Of course! And are you sure that I should start filming you right now?"
"Of course!"
Helena flipped open the video camera and started shooting Jimin, while he pulled out sweet crackers, strawberries, crushed mint bars and started placing them on the store-bought cake.
Min Yoongi stood right behind her and stared at Jimin, who was carefully decorating.
"I now know where my food went. Amazing Park Jimin, amazing."
Jimin ignored his grumpy hyung and continued squeezing out chocolate on the crackers as the spy filmed him.
"Are we getting filmed right now?" it was Taehyung's voice from the next room that startled them all.
"Of course not!" Namjoon and Jungkook blurted out.
Jhope mingled around Helena while she filmed the Busan prince.
"Shall I get him in now?" he asked. They nodded.
"SAENGIL CHUKHAYE TAEHYUNGIE!" everyone cheered in a unified voice. Jin guided Taehyung with his hands on both of his shoulders. Kim 'beautiful' Taehyung walked in majestically hopping in black turtleneck and gasped at the overloaded cake that was produced before him. Everyone sang the birthday song and fed him with the chocolate layered sweet crackers and strawberries. Tae let Namjoon suckle a strawberry off from the knife. The leader grimaced at it's extreme sourness.
"I told you, the red ones are sour" Hobbie snapped at him.
"That's TATA! Right there! I made it!" Jimin took pride and pulled out a cracker from the cake. It had a heart shape made with chocolate.
"Thank you so much everyone!" the birthday boy smiled. Some more elder staff members were called in for filming the celebration.
"YAAYY" Jhope got in his confetti.
"Wait I'll do it" Namjoon snatched the small cylinders from his hands and pulled the strings. Nothing happened, except for the string coming off in his pinch.
"I think I broke it."
