Started: February 2...
After the simple birthday lunch they shared together, word spread quickly about Aen returning home.
Before they knew it, relatives had begun appearing one by one to see her.
Because of that, Aen had to introduce Yoongi over and over again.
By mid-afternoon, the heat and the constant social energy had left them both exhausted-especially Yoongi, who had navigated hours of polite nodding and English-Bisaya translations.
Aen's mom ushered them to rest, and Carly excitedly volunteered to lead them to Aen's room.
As they climbed the stairs, Carly skipped ahead, her small hand gripping the railing with pure excitement.
As soon as they entered, Aen felt embarrassed to the core.
Although her room was bigger than her old one, it had the same vibe because it was decorated with posters of Bangtan and Yoongi himself.
It seems her family had carefully preserved the posters from her old room and plastered them here.
"Momhie!!! Look!! Look!! We decorated your room just like before!!"
"Y-yeah... I... I can see that..."
"Do you like it?"
Aen just nodded dumbfoundedly, her eyes landing on a specific 'Agust D' poster she had saved up for months to buy.
She heard Yoongi chuckle beside her.
He walked to one of his solo posters and touched the edge of the paper.
"I guess... You must've really liked me so much since I'm the only one who has a solo poster here."
He looked over at Aen and smiled, that gummy grin reaching his eyes.
"This really makes me so happy."
She blushed, but was suddenly pulled by Carly towards a door.
"Look, Momhie!! This door is magic!"
"Y-yeah? Why is that?"
"It connects our rooms!!"
Carly opened it and Aen entered her daughter's room, followed by Yoongi.
The room smelled of fresh paint and childhood wonder.
Aen admired the decorations; she was happy the connecting door she had requested was finally a reality.
