War of Hormones

◇ That day ◇ pt.2 ○

"Remember the time Tae sneezed while we were baking a cake for Hobi hyung's surprise birthday ?"

"Yes..Beomgyu..and the whole time he was scared that he might be allergic to flour.."

Everyone erupted in laughter at the memory.

----

"Okay, so it's all set then Yeah?"
Jin said as he set about ticking stuffs of his list.
"Namjoon and Yeonjun will manage all the bookings.

Soobin, and Ilyla will look after the invitations.

Jungkook, Jimin and Quinn will manage the decorations.

Beomgyu, Kai and Gwen will do the shopping.

Taehyun, Nacy, Yoongi and I will do the catering.

And Ari will take Hobi out and distract him till the time of the party."

" Hey Jin hyung, wouldn't I need someone to help me.."

"Yah! Jin hyung! What am I supposed to do?"

Both Ari and Taehyung spoke simultaneously.

"Ahh..I forgot. Sorry Tae it's confusing to have two Tae(s) when I'm only used to one.." Jin chuckled.

"Well since Ari needs help, and I am not assigned to anything since someone apparently forgot his friend of 7 years.." Taehyung said as he shot a glare to Jin, " I guess I'll help Ari.."

"No!"

All of them shouted together causing Taehyung to pout even more.

" Tae-tae..don't make that face.." Jungkook said as he made his way towards him, " we know Ari wants help because you know how hyped Hobi hyung can get and if we add you to the dynamic too then God only help Ari .."

"Yah! KOOKIE!"

" Hey, Hey guys!", Yoongi interrupted " why don't I help Ari and Taehyung can help in the catering Okay?"

Jin hesitated for a moment before finally nodding. " okay..I guess..now let's all get to work. We need to do this fast."

"And all of you..I swear if anything goes wrong.. "

Everyone seemingly gulped. They knew better then to piss Jin. They all rushed off to get to work before Jin could complete his sentence.

And that's how Taehyung ended up helping in baking the cake which was going all well until his very loud sneeze covered all the caterers in flour.

Jin grounded him to a chair and Taehyung instead helped in blowing the balloons.

Overall the party was a success.

Well if you don't count the earlier flour attack which led to more shopping and baking or the laptop on which Namjoon spilled his coffee while he was booking the hotel or the broken coffee mug or the Yeontan chase Quinn, Jimin and Jungkook had to do because he ran away with a roll of ribbon and Taehyung refused to help because he was apparently grounded and like he said "i'm an obedient child" or the..

You get it.. the party was a success.

------

"Yah! Beomgyu that was ages ago and Kookie if you don't stop making fun of me, you'll be sleeping in the couch.."

"Taehyung I think you're forgetting that we all live together in the dorm..", Namjoon reminded.

"I know..but he can't sleep without me.." Taehyung said, a smirk appearing on his face.

Jungkook had a slight blush," Yah!"

Everyone started laughing again.

It felt so good to be finally together. We had all gone through so many things together and had seen ..Okay.. a lot of unpleasant things too but compared to the good, i guess it was all worth it.

As so many thoughts were running through her head, Quinn felt a hand. She looked up to see Gwen who sat next to her.

"Hey, you Okay?"

"Yeah Gwen, I've never been better. It feels so good to see all of us finally together after so long. I was just thinking of all the good times we had".

Gwen nodded. " You know, sometimes I can't help but wonder how different things might have turned out if only.."

Quinn seemed to understand. She placed her hand on Gwen's, " what's gone is gone. Don't sweat about it Gwen. Look at us, we're all happy aren't we? That's what matters."

"Yeah, I guess you're right. We're all happy."

And in that moment, neither Gwen noticed the hesitation in Quinn's voice nor did Quinn notice the sigh that left Gwen's mouth.

And in that moment, none of the sixteen gathered noticed the sad glint in each other's eyes. The loud laughter masking it all, anyone who saw them now would be fooled into perceiving that they were having the best times of their lives.

The tiniest of the wind blowing could release all the hurt, the loss, the anger, the betrayal, the sacrifice and it could all go down.

But the loud laughter that erupted due to another happy memory was proof enough that time had taught them the use of pretence well; that they all had found the perfect fit to their masks.
