Goodnight.

"So," Namjoon said, sitting up on the couch. "Apparently we can send you guys back, but the thing is...you have to stay for at least half a year. To have enough time in Korea to get a passport, that is."

Percy glanced at Annabeth. "That's...definitely going to be a problem."

Jason rubbed his eyes. "Oh gods."

Namjoon pursed his lips. "I'm sorry. It's the best I could do."

"We're not disappointed or ungrateful, don't get us wrong!" Frank shook his head vigorously. "I-It's just that...Jason is the praetor of the Roman camp, and Reyna will have a hard time doing stuff on her own."

"Tyson," Percy added. "He was going to come this week."

"My parents," Annabeth shook her head. "Next month. They can wait, yeah, but..."

"Guys, come on, there's nothing they can do, let's puff up our chests—uh, not in a weird way, girls—" Leo blinked.

Percy snickered, Jason scooted away from Hazel, and Frank's face went pink. Leo just grinned, and hooked his hands behind his head. "Personally, I'd like a break from the cabin."

"Ah, that again," Piper rested her chin on her palm. "You sure hate her."

"I sure as hell do."

"But—"

"No—"

"Stop!" Percy threw his hands in the hair. "Shush."

"Okay, dad," Leo huffed.

"I ain't Hephaestus."

"Yeah, I know. You're a Percy."

"Oh my—"

"Anyway!" Jason interrupted loudly. "Thank you, really, Namjoon."

"Don't mention it. I'm happy to help. If anything, I should be thanking you guys for saving our lives," he smiled, his dimples practically glowing.

"Stop it," Hoseok frowned, "stop! Glowing is my job, Joon."

"Sorry, Hobi."

"You're forgiven!"

Namjoon shook his head, then stood, picking up his cup from the table. Halfway to the kitchen, he dropped it. "Oops."

"Kim Namjoon!" Jin shouted.

Percy walked into the room. As Namjoon was being scolded by Jin, he had retreated to his and Jungkook's room.

He gently shut the door behind him, and a slight glitter caught his eye. He looked to see a picture frame on Jungkook's desk. It wasn't there before.

He walked over to it, and picked it up firmly with both hands, cautious with his own hands after witnessing Namjoon's own destructive pair.

He could pinpoint every one of the members' faces. It was a picture of them with— Was that Jimmy Fallon?

They were all laughing, and Percy saw Taehyung's arm draped across Jungkook's shoulders. He felt a pang on his heart, and gently put the framed picture down, slightly shaking.

Unlike most people, Percy was straightforward with himself. If he didn't tell himself about the truth and cruel reality, who else would?

He knew that he liked Jungkook. Now, it was too early for him to say love, but like? Definitely.

He couldn't even tell if the contact was friendly or not. Annabeth was the skilled one in that range.

Of course he would've asked his best friend and showed her the picture. But he had made an oath to Jungkook. And even if it was a measly promise, he would keep it.
