Finding Zen (With BTS' JIMIN)

39. The Unwrapped Present

HER

The video calls became frequent immediately and it was the most the two had ever broken out of their shells. But it wasn't just that, she had been giving her mom tiny snippets of how she became friends.

She felt bad about having to round out and smoothen the story up to make it digestible for such adults who grew during one of the latest primes of conservative society. She was definitely glad though, that her mother was on the more open side.

It had only been a few months of work, but soon she was flying out with her mom to visit some family.

HIM

The tour was getting a little more spaced out finally and he was getting a little more rest than just a week before.

It was raining in the UK and he chugged some cider (or you might say soda, depending on where you're from) down and sat by the window, wandering through a few not-so-happy memories.

Tae came in while I was on a call... with her...

He definitely caught her id now...

Coincidentally it was Tae who came in, settling next to him and the two spontaneously started a conversation up, with the occasional pause for a picture - which they instantly put up on the blue bird app.

As always it was swarmed instantly by replies from countless fans. The two returned to their conversation upto leaving for their dinner - which, obviously, Jimin was paying for since that just happened to be their idea of birthday eat-outs.

The night was young, but they all were turning back early and it left him extremely confused.

Passing by people drained them since quite a lot of people still asked them "Kpop? BTS?" despite how their juniors innthe 4th generation were the more mainstream ones.

He instantly hit a low and wound down after a shower.

Tae spied on him until he was clearly asleep and they all began working around their sleeping brother, silently adding a few hints to draw him out and into the next room.

It was making Taehyung a little on edge when it was almost midnight and he hadn't even stirred.

The others kept him calm realising that if they got too loud he would end up awake just a little too early.

HER

Zen had called him a few times. She ended them quickly, just making sure it had logged on his phone, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips.

I don't want him waking up...

Nor do I want to foil any plans...

HIM

Taehyung was jumpy as it was almost time and nothing seemed to be luring his best friend out of his slumber.

He kept blaming a lot of evnts from earlier, under his breath.

Soon they knew they had to send someone back into his room to wake him up.
