the 8th member | BTS [under editing]

fifteen

Hoseok walked towards Jimin and Hanbyul, who was patiently waiting for him. The little girl smiled widely as she saw him walking out of the store with the ice cream. Hoseok grins before handing Hanbyul the ice cream, "Eat .. okay. Eat fast ... melt," He said slowly, unsure whether Hanbyul would understand him. 

After Hanbyul got the ice cream, she grabbed the oldest member to sit next to her, "Sit, hyung ... here," Three of them sat on the bench next to the convenience store. Hanbyul sat in between Jimin and Hoseok, which made them so awkward. Jimin looked around as Hoseok asked Hanbyul to eat the ice cream in his broken English. 

Hanbyul then pulled out three tiny spoons from her pocket. They didn't know she had grabbed three spoons from the counter before she and Jimin went out. 

They were teenagers, and of course, they didn't have much money. The thing is, she saw the amount of money in Hoseok's wallet. She feels terrible after asking him such a thing without knowing whether he has money. The slightest thing she could do was share the ice cream with them. "Eat with me," Hanbyul said in her broken Korean. They were a bit shocked by that since before this, Namjoon would usually translate the conversation, or they would use body language. With Hanbyul speaks in Korean and she asks them to eat with her, they feel a bit flabbergasted. At first, they refused it, but she insisted it was okay.

"Say ah!" Hanbyul feeds Hoseok a spoonful of chocolate ice cream. His face lightened as he tasted the ice cream's coldness and creaminess. After that, she feeds Jimin too. He looks contented. The three of them eat the ice cream until it's all finished. "Hanbyul .. home?"

As the three of them want to head home, it's almost 7. The sun is almost setting. They entered the dorm, and the other members were all in their respective rooms. Before Hanbyul could walk towards her bedroom, Hoseok gently tugged her shirt, "Byul ... hmm ... shower ... big hmm shirt .. warm .. and .. we eat okay?" She nodded her head, smiling at the older member.

She feels so grateful that she has such very understanding bandmates. They all treat her nicely, like a princess. As Hoseok wanted to walk away, she grabbed his wrist, "Hyung .. thank you for the ice cream. It was good." Hoseok couldn't contain his smile and excitement since the youngest member spoke in Korean to him again. He's going to brag about it to other members. 

On top of that, Hanbyul also thanked him for the ice cream. Well, his last allowance is paid off. He didn't mind spending money on the members. Hoseok came closer to her and then patted her back, "No problem, our Byul."

In her bedroom, Hanbyul just busied herself doing things or walking around since she didn't feel that good. Yes, her body's temperature dropped, but still, she felt so cold, and sometimes she trembled without reason.

After that, Hanbyul took a shower and wore an oversized shirt as Hoseok asked her to. As she was looking out the window, she realized that she would be going to school in two days. Last week, her mom called the Bighit staff to tell them about that; of course, the team told her. She knows the school isn't that far from the dorm, just like Jungkook's school, but she wasn't assigned to the same school as Jungkook. 

Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door. Hanbyul immediately runs towards the door to open it. "Hanbyul? You okay?" It was Jin. He brought a plate with him, which probably meant he was busy making dinner for all of them. "Eat .. dinner, okay?" Hanbyul nodded her head and then followed the older member. She wants to talk to Jin because he always makes her comfortable. His cooking is delicious, that is the most important thing. 

As they reached the kitchen, other members were all seated on the not-too-small dining table. Taehyung, who saw Hanbyul, quickly grabbed her wrist and let her sit beside him. She was so glad about that. "Let's eat," Jin announced happily.
