          Then all the bad days.. 

└────❀*̥˚───◌───❀*̥˚┘

"Bye noona!", Jungkook said shyly as smiled at HaNuel bidding her goodbye.

Jey gave a tight smile and patted Jungkook's head, then waved goodbye to the other five.

Hoseok walked towards Taehyung and Jey. He stood there for a moment eyeing the floor and clenched his fist before quickly pulling them into a tight and emotional hug.

From his right eye, tears threatened to fall. The sunshine never showed tears but this was a much special moment that he wanted to express.

"Thanks, Jey and Tae.", he softly whispered as his arms un-tangled with theirs breaking the hug. A small smile made it's way to his lips, the light behind him illuminating his face.

Jung Hoseok thanked the two for all the times they helped him and now that he started to recover, he believed that those two were a major reason for it.

"Which movie do you wanna watch, Jey?"

"Hmmm, I don't know. What do you wanna?"

"Well, how about "Half of it" or maybe watch "Clouds"?

"Oooh", she turned to look at him intrigued. The movie Clouds caught her attention.
"Is it available on Cornflix?", she asked while getting the shrimp flavored chips.

"You mean Netflix-"

"No, Tae. I call it Cornflix."

He chuckled, eyes crinkling in adoration, and nodded while throwing himself on the couch.

"As you say, your majesty!"

The movie went on and it was pretty good. He was more of a silent observer whereas HaNeul cried every time she saw Zach talk about his terminal illness.

She buried herself lower into the blanket around them since the weather was now getting a little colder. It was autumn now, October.

Watching this made HaNeul get thought about what she wanted to do with her life.

"Do you want to stay in the shadow of your past and carry the guilt of your sister?", she thought to herself as the movie went on.

"Or do you want to face it?"

The thought of facing her past made her scared. It made her feel vulnerable as if she'd lose herself in an effort to free herself.

But, she was determined.

After an almost never ending internal battle she finally spoke.

Her fingers brushed against his beige sweater feeling the soft and warm material before tugging is gingerly. He turned to look at her with raised brows.

"Hm?"

"Can you pause it for a moment?"

"Oh sure."

"I-I know is this kinda random but I wanted to tell you something."

"Sure?"

"Thanks.", Jey blurted out without hesitation and looked straight into his hypnotizing orbs.

"Huh? I remember you said this some time ago as well, Jey."

"Yea...I meant it both times."

"Ok, but why all of a sudden?"

"It's just-you helped me out so much. You stood with me and did so much more.", she paused finding his eyes again. She held his hand close to her heart now. "I just feel better now. I don't feel guilty and pressured. Thanks to you."

He didn't reply back and just held her head close to his chest smiling brightly.

"Of course. I'm always there for you."

She snuggled closer to his warm sweater, absorbing all the love and support.

"They said they ran out of Jams. And you know what Namjoon hyung said to me after that-", Jimin continued to blabber about this incident today at the airport to which Tae only nodded in response.

Taehyung took a bite of his melon with his flushed pink lips. Looking up in the sky. He was too busy thinking about a Blue Parrot that he forgot to pay attention to his best friend.

"Hyung said, and I quote; "Jimin, you got no Jams." like why would he embarrass me like that?!"

"he was going to talk about my height next-", he noticed Tae wasn't even nodding anymore.

"Are you even listening?"

"Huh-oh sorry Jimin-ah. I just have something on my mind-more like someone.", he continued to look up in the blue sky that reminded him of Jey. Her dark shiny hair and her cute nose came to his mouth.
Also how she ate with pouty lips just like himself.

"And who is that someone?"

"Nuerie-Nuerie", he blurted out without even thinking. A second later his eyes widened realising what he said. "Wait uh-"

"Come on. Dude, it was so obvious.", Seokjin said from behind with his plushy in his hand.

"I know right hyung.", both Jimin and Jungkook said in unison.

Taehyung's apple cheeks became redder, a bright red showing how flustered he felt.

"H-hyung!", he exclaimed as he looked down with a small smile.

"Awww our tiger found a tigress?", Jimin said who was sitting beside him.

"More like the Winterbear found his Blue parrot.", Taehyung corrected and all his hyungs chuckled in response.

"So what do you plan on doing with this little crush of yours?"

"I don't know!!", Jey told Hoseok as they munched on some biscuits.

"Well, you do feel something for him right?"

"Yes I do! He makes me-I don't know- feel so safe and happy!"

"I'm pretty sure he likes you too. Have you seen the way he looks at you? It's like he'll give the universe away for you."

"Honestly, I'd give away the galaxy for him so better do something similar-"
They both started to laugh.

"Your crush sure does make you happy, hm?"

"He's not just a crush though."

***

"She's way more than that. She is like my source of happiness now."
