Love Yourself

Her: 7

I ran to the door as the bell rang. I opened it to see the four guys, but then noticed that they had an extra guest. Tae noticed my expression then scratched his neck shyly.

"Sorry, we met up on our way and he said he wanted to join."

I waved at Yoongi before moving out of the way and letting them into my house. My mom and dad watched the boys stand around the living room uncomfortably. I heard my mom chuckle.

"Uh, you guys can sit down."

They all looked surprised, but then sat down. My mom brought them water and they gladly took it. I watched as they gulped it down fast.

"Did you guys run here or something?"

Jungkook smiled.

"Hyung took forever to get ready and we wanted to come as soon as possible."

"Come on Kook! She didn't need to know that! You could've just said yes..."

I laughed as Tae's face turned red. I looked at my parents, who seemed pleased with my friends.

I looked at them again.

One more time.

I don't think they understood.

"Mom. Dad. We were thinking of hanging out...as friends..."

My mom ended up understanding before my dad. She grabbed his hand and dragged him into the kitchen. She didn't forget to throw me a wink before leaving. I sighed before turning around.

"So, what do you guys want to do?"

I wasn't sure what they'd want to do since truth or dare was out of the question. I think they understood, otherwise Hoseok would've mentioned that first.

"We can play cards."

"Do you have any board games?"

"What if we watched a movie?"

"Bad timing Kook, my parents don't like watching movies in the morning."

I rested my face in the palm of my hand while thinking about what we could possibly do. I then heard my mom holler from the kitchen.

"Just put a movie on!"

It was followed by my dad's weak protests and many hushes from my mom. I laughed silently before asking the others.

"Movie? Guess we can."

"Sure, what do you watch?"

"Anything."

After hours of thinking, we decided to watch Crazy Rich Asians. I put the blinds down to give us a movie feeling. We had an L-shaped sofa so Namjoon, Tae, and Hoseok sat in the sofa, while Kookie and I sat on the floor with two blankets. Before the movie started, my mom told us that she and my dad would be out for a bit.

We watched for a while and then I excused myself to get us some snacks. After I went into the kitchen, I heard steps behind me and saw that Taehyung was standing there.

"Hey, is there any way I can help?"

"Um, yeah. I was gonna bring some chips and drinks. Could you carry the chips?"

He nodded and went to pick up the bowl. As I poured the drinks, I felt him staring at my back.

"What? Is there something in my hair?"

Tae blushed.

"Um. No. I just wanted to say the movie we picked was perfect."

He chuckled as I laughed. We made our way back and I noticed that Kookie had snuggled into Namjoon on the couch. Tae protested, since he lost his space, but then jumped into his spot anyway. I heard Jungkook protest, but then they finally settled. I looked to Hoseok, who was straining to listen.
