The sounds of the busy airport surround me as I sit patiently in the cafe across from the entrance that Taehyung should be exiting.

I purse my lips as I think back to the plans the boys and I made.

Flashback

"No matter what you do.. Do not give away the surprise!" Jin warns me sternly. I huff and roll my eyes.

"Yeye I know Oppa. You think I would let something like this slip?"

"Eh, don't you think it's a bit too far away to keep this secret?" Jimin asks. "I mean.. you want to surprise him on his birthday but that isn't until the end of next month. Won't you be showing before then?"

I pout. "I'm already showing a small bit! It's fine! I can just play it off if he asks. If I accuse him of insulting me he will feel guilty and won't say a thing." I smile proudly.

"Wah.. you really are evil." Hoseok gasps at me. I giggle and stick out my tongue.

"But I shouldn't be worried about myself slipping the surprise. It's you dimwits that I'm worried about! Don't say a thing that has anything remotely to do with my pregnancy! Taehyung picks up on these things easily." I narrow my eyes at the two.

"Yah. What about Yoongi hyung?" Hoseok whines.

"Yoongi could care less. He doesn't say much so I doubt he would risk ruining anything." I speak as I fix my scarf around my neck. "Unlike you two who can't even keep what's for dinner a secret."

End of Flashback

I glance at my phone.

"Aish, I keep expecting him to call when he doesn't even know my number." I scold myself for being ignorant.

"Flight 36 has just landed."

I perk up at the announcement and gather my things before thanking the cafe owner and paying him for my drink. I hurry to stand near the entrance as people start to walk out.

My mouth gapes open as I see him step out.

Holy sh- just a week in Australia and he looks-

"Minseo!" I snap out of it when I'm suddenly being picked up and hugged. I smile fondly and bury my face in his neck.
"I thought your brother was going to pick me up.. ah this is much better." He smiles down at me and kisses me passionately. "I missed you.."

I smack his arm harshly, gaining the sudden attention of strangers passing by.

"Yah! How could you leave so easily eh? Why are you so respectful to my brother! You didn't have to go this far with his plan.." I scold him, not noticing the tears building up in my eyes. His look softens as he cups my face.

"I knew I would come back soon.. I don't know your brother that well but he wouldn't be that crazy to keep me imprisoned there. Yah.. don't cry?" He chuckles as I sniffle.

"Did you at least bring back something..."

He grins foolishly. "Of course I did." He stands straight and takes out something from his bag.

I gasp in delight as he hands me a kangaroo plushie holding an Australian flag. He smiles as I hug it.

"I also bought you a koala keychain." He chuckles and holds up a little koala.

"Ahh TaeTae it's so cute~" I hug him again.

"Aish I'll never get tired of hearing that from you." He laughs and kisses my nose.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The tension in this room is so thick you could cut it with a knife.

I purse my lips awkwardly as Jin and Taehyung stare at each other. I can see it in both of their eyes that they are controlling their words from spewing out.

"Ah.. welcome back Taehyung." Jin scratches his head awkwardly. I scoff catching the attention of the others in the room. Jimin, Jungkook, and Hoseok watch the scene unfold uncomfortably. "I uhm. I'm sorry about my behavior. It was unacceptable.. and I regret it once I saw how it affected Minseo. I hope we can put this behind us.." He extends his hand out to Tae. Taehyung looks at his hand before glancing up at my brother.

"I forgive you.. I'm also sorry for keeping this secret from you. We can live comfortably now Seokjin." They shake hands, a charming smile on Jin's face.

"Ah call me Hyung. You don't have to be so formal." Jin jokes before turning to me, leaving everyone in the room shook. "I'm going to go finish cooking eh? Then we can have a nice dinner."

I nod cluelessly before coming back to my senses.

"Wah he really has lost his mind." I mumble to myself in disbelief.

A knock on the door catches everyone's attention. Namjoon peeks his head in and walks into the apartment with Yoongi trailing behind.

"Ah Taehyung you're back! Yo congrats man." Namjoon takes Tae's hand and shakes it. Taehyung furrows his eyebrows.

"Congrats? On what?"

Namjoon freezes, shifting his eyes to look at my death glare. He gulps and laughs loudly. "Congrats on getting home safely! People don't always get home unharmed when traveling..." Namjoon covers up his mistake awkwardly.

"Oh.. ah thank you." Taehyung chuckles in confusion before taking my hand in his and kissing my head. "I'm going to go shower before dinner okay? I'll be quick~" My heart flutters at his adorable box smile.

"Aish! Kim Namjoon what are we going to do with you?" I scold, threatening to raise my hand. Namjoon sulks and looks down. "Ah Yoongi Oppa I thought you told him!"

Yoongi looks speechless at us. "I thought he knew! How was I supposed to know he didn't know the plan?"

I sigh and ruffle my hair. "I'm seriously going to lose my mind."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Are you sure?" Taehyung asks me for the second time. I nod my head and push his glass towards him. "You look really tense though.. A sip of alcohol would help just enough for you not to get drunk but ease your stress.. And you never refuse alcohol?"

"Ah.. it's really okay Tae. I like my seltzer better." I smile and raise my glass to change the topic. "To welcome back Taehyung."

"Welcome back Taehyung!" The others raise their glasses of wine. We look at Tae expectantly. He chuckles and raises his glass as well.

"Thank you. It's good to be back.."
