Meanwhile in the farm house, the secret gang panted lightly after the strenuous work.

SERAH : Everyone worked hard. Now, let's just hope it goes well and they like it.

All the girls had smiles on their tired faces while massaging their arms and legs from the muscle pain.

KEIV YA : Don't worry. I am sure they will appreciate it. (-smiles-)

They conversed in english since it was everyone's first language present there and also so that the maknae, Keiv ya(Rae is 2 months elder to her) doesn't feel left out as she was the only one who couldn't understand Korean.

AE RA : Girls, it's getting quite late. (-seeing the time-) It's 11 : 48.

ARIA : Wow! When did we lose track of time?

They were so lost that they didn't even realize that the boys weren't back yet.

The girls were only agreeing to Aria's remark when their ears stood up hearing a car driving in the farm house.

RAE : (-watching outside from the glass window-) They are here!

They started to have panic attacks in fear of getting caught but Serah, as skillful as she was, asked them to follow her out through the back door.

Everyone obliged and were out of the house but were stopped from crossing the frontyard as the boys were still out in the garden waiting for Jin to join them after parking the car in a secure place.

The girls hid themselves across the side of the boundary wall of the house and waited till they got in.

Serah, peeked a little and making sure they all entered the house, signalled them to follow her out quietly.

And within a few moments, the girls were out of the danger region.

SERAH : Thank you all for your participation. I seriously don't know how I would've done it all alone.

RAE : We are all more than happy to be a part of it. So, thank You!

Serah smiled and was interrupted by a call in her cell.

Seeing it from Namjoon, she quickly received it.

*Over the call*

SERAH : (-pretendind not to know-) Yes, are you all back?

NJ : Yes and pretty blown away to find the girls not here at (-checking the time-) 11 : 56 pm.

SERAH : (-force chuckle-) Actually we were out for a stroll.

NJ : Seriously in the mid-night? Alone?

SERAH : We didn't go far and almost reached the gate now. Will be in, in a minute.

NJ : Alright.

Serah ended the call before he nagged her anymore.

KEIV YA : We'll get going. You better go inside.

SERAH : It's pretty late. Will you be fine?

RAE : Don't worry about us. We are three and will take a taxi from the main road.

Serah nodded though was worried for them going alone.

SERAH : Text me when you reach then.

KEIV YA : OKAY! (-salutes-) Miss. Boyfriend!

Everyone burst out in laughter at her tease. The three girls then went on their way while Serah and Aria went inside the house with their hearts pounding fast.

There were only Namjoon and Jimin waiting for them to return in the hall as they insisted others to rest saying the girls were safe and coming in a while.

SERAH : (-trying to change the topic-) Did you guys have fun?

NJ : (-slightly mad-) Even if we did, you stole it away. This house is in such solitary. How could you be okay with strolling in the roads this late?

SERAH : (-swinging his hand and acting like a puppy-) I am sorry, we were having trouble sleeping and you guys were not back too. So we just thought to wait for you outside and didn't realize when we started walking. I am sorry... Imm? (-pleading-)

Namjoon looked at the human puppy with a straight face pleading and swinging his hand to forgive her but didn't show any signs to do so anytime soon.

They didn't realize that there was another couple standing right next to them witnessing the exclusive moment they were having.

Jimin was about to tease a line but Aria covered his mouth with her hand- his smirk was enough to sense his words.

Unexpectedly, the duo didn't even realize the movements going next to them- just that much lost they were into each other.

Aria took Jimin upstairs near his room.

JM : Why did you stop me? They all teased me so much earlier. I wanted to have some fun too.

ARIA : Tease all you want once they actually know they have feelings for each other. If you try to sparke them now they will lose the faint glimmer even before lighting up.

JM : (-smirks and gets close-) How do you know so much about these stuff?

ARIA : (-pushing him away gently-) I just know.

JM : (-his casual goofy expressions-) Why are you pushing me away? (-getting close again with a hint of dominance-) Am I making you nervous?

Before Aria could reply in the tension created, Jimin, with a sudden moment, rested his head on her shoulder as if he had no strength and let it fall on her.

JM : I am so tired...

ARIA : (-chuckles-) Did you enjoy today?

JM : (-nodding but head still on her shoulder-) Thanks to you both. It was great having all together, having fun after so long.

A genuine smile creeped up her lips as she wrapped her hands around him in a hug.

JM : (-getting cozy in her arms and snuggling-) Ah, by the way, are you feeling better now?

Aria, forgetting about the lie before, asked him what he referred to very innocently.

JM : (-releasing her-) Weren't you feeling unwell in the evening? (-caressing her head-) You look tired too.

ARIA : (-realizing-) Ah, Yes! I am fine now. (-goofy smile-)

Jimin couldn't help but smile at her cuteness though he was tired to even keep his eyes open.

ARIA : You should sleep now.

JM : (-blinking lazily-) I want to hug you to sleep. (-attempting to hug her again-)

ARIA : (-guiding his arms around and making him hug himself-) That's even better.

JM : (-hugging himself-) You're such a witch. (-pouts sleepily-)

Aria couldn't help but laugh seeing him hug himself- the posture too funny to let anyone contain the laugh.

Next day, 12 : 30, Noon

.

.

The boys after lunch were discussing their plans in the last day at the island. Serah spoke up, gaining their attention.

SERAH : Can I suggest something?

NJ : Onh? Sure, go ahead.

SERAH : Can you all head to the rooftop in around an hour?

TH : Why though?

Taehyung knew it was something about their surprise but as the tease he was known for, he couldn't help it.

Besides, he also didn't entirely know what the surprise was going to be about.

ARIA : Well, we prepared something for you guys.

Smiles were visible in the boys' faces as they curiously asked a few questions.

HS : I am feeling the "we" a little heavy. Are there other people too?

ARIA : Sunbae-nim, let that be "confidential". You will find out soon anyways.

SERAH : Come at two sharp!

The last remark she passed on and rushed upstairs with Aria before any more informations were exchanged.

The boys to themselves casually teased one another for no reason, having no clue what it was, but lowkey excited about it.

As it was slowly going to hit two, the boy scouts slowly headed towards the rooftop where they found the door to terrace was locked.

As Namjoon was deliberately trying to open it, Hoseok felt an obligation to stop him.

HS : We gotta open it, not break it. Joon-ah, it's locked from the outside. You have to accept it.

Everyone laughed in their signature ways(Armys know it best). Namjoon, on the other hand, though used to being roasted like this often, felt more nostalgic as it was quite a long since they were this free with each other.

They were busy among themselves when they heard the door being unlocked. It was exactly two'o clock by then and they finally opened it to be extremely surprised at the arrangement.

There was sitting area made on one side of the rooftop with a bunch of snacks and drinks in the front.

The five girls stood facing their back in the middle of the terrace and had absolutely no conversation with the boys explaining the situation.

Hoseok and Jin were okay seeing Rae as one of them since Taehyung told the whole thing about the misunderstanding when Serah and Aria left earlier.

They felt a little confused seeing the girls standing like statues with only wind softly blowing their hairs and shirts.

The boys didn't seem to have any trouble recognizing each girl.

Jin wasn't expecting Ae Ra there but thought to skip the explanation for now since he lowkey loved to see her there.

JK : Who is that Kev looking girl?

HS : (-chuckles-) It's her, Kookie.

JK : Yeah, that actually makes more sense.

JM : Aria.

NJ : Serah-ssi. (-having no response-) What are we supposed to do?

While the hyungs were trying to make a conversation, Jungkook was lured by the snacks towards the sitting arrangement and saw a note there.

JK : Hyung! I guess, here's the hint to make these statues move.

They, with giggles at his words, went towards him to see what was written on it.

NJ : (-reading the note aloud-) "Welcome! Please be seated comfortably and press the play button in the remote."

They settled down as Namjoon kept the note aside and took the remote beside the drinks.

NJ : Ready, boys?

JM : Wait, wait! Let me get this moment in my phone. They look so funny. (-getting his phone camera ready while laughing-)

JK : (-seeing how it was captured in his phone-) Hyung, send it to me too.

Meanwhile, among the girls, they were having it hard controlling their laughter.

SERAH : (-to themselves-) These dorks!

JM : (-leaving commentary-) So, get ready. It's going to play... NOW.

Namjoon simultaneously pressed the button with Jimin's cue and the music played.

They received the biggest surprise when they finally realized the girls prepared their "Boy with Luv" dance to perform there.

ALL : (-in sync-) Boy with love~ (-loud cheer for the girls-) YAy!

As soon as the song ended and the choas settled down, the boys were emotionally struck recalling what they once used to be.

It felt like they found their lost identities back after meandering about aimlessly.

The boys left no nooks from appreciating their beautiful effort in such short time that they came up with, giving them the best realization.

JM : That was so great. (-praising with all might-)

ALL : Cannot agree less.

TH : I felt to be suddenly recalling all the years together. All the hardships we went through to reach our Armys. (-getting emotional-)

They failed to realize all these time that they were missing out on so much through these stupid disagreements. Armys, who have been always with them, were patiently waiting without any updates or heads up about their whereabouts or comebacks.

JK : Really want to see them again from the stage. Hyung, let's not waste anymore time to meet Armys.

NJ : That's right. Let's get it together already. It's high time now.

The girls couldn't be happier that their little effort turned out to be such a big watershed for them.

Everyone said something about their performance or how they felt touched by it but Yoongi kept his tranquility intact.
He did appreciate the girls but never reacted much to BTS getting back together.
No one knew how choatic of a war was being fought under his poker face.

Later at night . . .

Sorry if the surprise was too lame compared to the suspense created.
