I woke up but when I tried to get up, I found a hand around my waist. When I turned around, I found Jimin sleeping peacefully next to me. Looking at him near me like this brings beautiful memories of how we met back then. I just smile every time I remember that we met on a valentine's day. On that day, their school had an exchange program with our school. Some boys were brought to learn in our classes for a week. During this time I guess he fell in love with our school beauty. So during valentine's day, he decided to bring her a bunch of flowers and some chocolates. He waited for her during the short break and came to our class to give her. The fact that he was younger than the girl also made it more funny. I later came to learn that it was a dare from his school mates.

" Take a photo, it last longer." That was the first sentence that came out of his mouth immediately he woke up and saw me staring at him.
" You have not stopped being cocky haven't you! I was just remembering how me met."
" Please don't remind me of that day. I wish I could forget it."
" If you forget it then we could not have met. Just imagine a life without me...."
" I can't. What is the time, let's go and eat."
" Ok then. Let me wash my face and then go and meet the famous Bangtan Boys."
" Famous where. So V has not introduced you yet?"
" Not yet. I just met Suga who just for the record is very scarey."
" He is cool when you get to know him. "
" I don't think so but it's ok, let's go and see."

Then I went to the bathroom, washed my face and then went to the living room where the boys were watching a movie. I looked for the furthest space and sat down. Jimin came and sat next to me. Then just to get their attention he started asking about the movie title and plot. Jungkook was the one who answered which somehow made Jimin to get annoyed. He then took me to the kitchen.

" I didn't even ask him the question and he just batted in the conversation." Jimin said
" You didn't ask anybody in particular. Why are you getting angry. It was even kind of him to answer you, you know that, don't you." I tried making
" Why are you defending him? I am your friend, you are suppose to side with me all the time." The stupid Jimin said
"Hey Jimin, are you sure you want me to answer that!" I was now really annoyed by his childish behaviour.

I then decided to walk out on him because I knew that it will not end well when he begins to be childish. As I reached the door, I met RM who was coming to the kitchen to take some water.

" Hello. I was told that we have a visitor. Welcome, I am RM."
" I am Lensah. Jimin's ..."
" Wife..." Jimin decided to finish my sentence. I looked at him then walked out. He decided to run after me then hugged me from behind. He apologized and then holding my hands, took me to the living room again . The movie was over at the moment we entered the room. Suga decided to switch on the lights and there is when I saw how they were sitted. V and Jungkook were lying on the floor . Jin was bit far but not on a chair. Sugar was seated on a lovers couch with his legs up and I guess RM was seated near the TV controls because when he came back with a glass of water on his hands, he sat there. V was the first to talk to me.

" Wow Lensah, you looked refreshed now. I am sorry I forgot to take you to the guest room to rest."
" It's ok. You know jimin' s room is my room so even though my clothes were not with me, I can always get something to put on from his closet."
" Ok then let me introduce you to my brothers' here. The one next to me is our last born Jungkook, then our first born Jin,our leader Rap Monster, then next to him is J- hope and the one who opened the door for you is Suga. You already know me and your beloved heart Jimin. I think that's all. "
" Thank you V. Although there was no need for it being that I am a fan of the BTS, I guess it is because I have come to invade your privacy. My name is Franchesca Lensah Okoth but you can call me Lensah. I am from Kenya but I have a dual citizenship of Kenya and South Korea. I was brought up here. I grew up with Jimin, Taemin of ShinEE and Kai of EXO. They are my family here. Thanks for welcoming me here."
" So, how comes that Jimin has a wife and we have never heard of ? " RM asked looking at me seriously.
" Wife? I thought you were just friends..." Jin interjected.
" She is my wife and we even have two children" Jimin answered.
" Wow, two children when I have never had a girlfriend.!'' Suga said.
" It's sad for you but it is true. That is my well kept secret." Jimin answered them and that answers shut them up.

All this while, Jungkook was just staring at me as if he saw an alien. I think he wanted to ask me some questions but was afraid of Jimin. After that we started talking about their music, their adventures and music concerts in different countries. I came to learn that even though they loved travelling so much, they enjoyed staying home and bonding with each other. After that V told me to go and help him prepare dinner. It was fun because I have always wished to hang out with V. He has this out going character that makes you not get bored even if you are angry with him. I loved listening to his jokes even though they are not that funny anytime I called Jimin and he was with him. When we went to the kitchen we decided to put on some music and sing along so as to make our work more enjoyable. I came to learn that he enjoyed listening to American songs.

We decided to prepare some Chinese fried rice and wet fried chicken and a bowl of vegetable salad. For dessert I made some tirimisu. By the time we were finishing our cooking, the whole team was in the kitchen helping out. Jungkook' s role was to taste the food. Jimin decided to stand next to me and hand over what I needed. Jin and Suga helped with setting of the table. J-hope was dancing with V who decided to leave all the work for me. RM was helping me to chopped things. They say that two heads are better than one and this is true because within a short time, we were on the table ready to eat. Before digging in, I requested for us to pray, again, blame it on my mother's strict Catholic upbringing. With Jimin, I know that even though he has forgotten, he just folded his hands and bowed his head. Jungkook and Suga also bowed their heads. The others just looked at me.

" In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Bless us on Lord, with this your gift which we have received in your bounty. Bless those who don't have anything to eat. Please provide them with their daily needs. We pray that from whatever strength we get from this food, we continue to praise your name. In Jesus name amen.
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit Amen."
" Amen." Jungkook, V, Suga and Jimin answered.
" Sorry for that. Please dig in. Bon appetit! " I said
" It's ok. I understand. Sometimes I remember mama taking us to church and then when we come from church asking us what the priest taught in church. I miss her so much." Jimin said.

The table became quiet. All you could here were munching sounds. For me I had a problem with the use of the chop sticks. Of all the things in Korea and China, I have using chop sticks. I have never been interested in this art. It is not that I can't use them but for me, I find them tidious. I guess Jimin saw my predicament and went and brought for me a knife and a fork. Living in Kenya, we use spoons and our hands for eating. When I went to live in Kenya, I had a hard time adjusting to the way the people use cutlery. There were no chop sticks so I had to use the fork, knife,spoon for soups and hands for foods like ugali, meat bones and the rest. The other members didn't understand why I was not using chop sticks like them but there was no room for asking. I think it is because they saw that Jimin had already had a solution.

After the meal, V decided to do the dishes in order to redeem himself being that he left everything to me. I had to stay behind and help him clean the kitchen. Then with the help of J-hope, we took the tirimisu to the others who had gone to the living room to watch a movie.
