|67| - A surprise.

"Guys? I don't think this is mine," she mutters and lets Jeongguk take the box from her.

"Jimin...did you mess up the presents?" he asks, growling at the older.

"I don't know, I just brought those you gave me," he shutters, hands defeatedly held in front of him.

"This clearly isn't Ellie's," the youngest snickers, lifting a purple dog collar out of the box.

"Oh my god! It's Yeontan's!" Taehyung screams and jumps from the couch while they all roll on the couch from laughter.

Standing in front of the wooden door, the boys impatiently wait for Ellie to pull the key inside and show what's hidden behind. She can't wait to see her new room, but she takes it slow, enjoying the special moment.

Knowing Yoongi, she expected the room to be neat and well organised in a modern style, but the room hiding behind the door is something she would never expect, not even from her loved brother.

"Oh my god," she lets out, mouth open.

The room holds all of her favourite things as books, blankets, decorative pillows and framed pictures. She takes her time to walk around and take a look at each picture inside the frame. There's about ten of them, some pictures of her and Nancy but most of them are her with the boys who either forced her to take the pictures or took them secretly.

There is one specific picture which catches her attention; her sitting on Jeongguk's bed, in his shirt and Yeontan on her lap. She wasn't aware of him taking the picture but she's sure he must have been the one behind it.

Knowing that he had to leave earlier today only makes her more upset.

"Did Jeongguk make this?"

"Yes, he spent quite some time here," Yoongi answers.

"I need to thank him. Will he be able to stop by tonight again?"

"I am not sure, Ellie," her brother says, seeing the pout on her lips.

"It feels like home," Ellie speaks up, looking at the fields around them from a balcony. She misses the forest she always watches back at their house but this view quite makes up for it.

"Here?"

"Not just here. I mean when we're together, all 8 of us," she mumbles, picking at her fingernails.

"It does, doesn't it?" Yoongi agrees with a smile.

"I never thought I'd find a family like you," her eyes water as she confesses.

"I hoped you would. We've been looking for you for so long, and now you're finally here," he watches as she blankly stares at their surroundings.
"I am really sorry for not spending more time with you."

She turns to him and takes his warm hand into her with an understanding smile.

"It's okay, Yoongi. We'll have more time in the future once we solve everything."

He stares into her eyes and places his warm palm on her cold cheek.

"I can't believe you're already 21. You are growing so fast."
