It's now lunch, and as quickly as I could, I rushed over to be with TXT because all through class my mind had been skipping back and forth on Taehyung's health- but I thought of a way to aid his cold symptoms.

So, currently they're all seated in front of me with curious faces and doe eyes, waiting for me to spill my idea.

"We're going to head to the hospitality room!"

I holler with a huge smile but to my dismay their expressions falter- I didn't anticipate for things to go sour at all.

"Huh!" Hueningkai yells, and scratches his cheek in confusion.

"Is Taehyung hyung going to go to the hospital!" Taehyun exclaims and his eyes are already watering.

"Why is he going to the hospital?" Beomgyu cries and soon after they all wail loudly.

"Ah, no-" I wave my hands in front of me to get them to stop but they cry until snort starts to drip.

"Aish," Yoongi calls from across the room. "You made them cry, look at all of their snort."

"Ani ani ani!" I holler, and look over at Yoongi for some help but his expression reads, your mess you sort it out.

I pout and switch my gaze back to the baba's. I feel so bad for making them cry like this. Nonetheless, I do my best to clear things up.

"Taehyung's not going to the hospital."

I declare, moving closer to them and my hand comes into contact with Yeonjun's cheek. I wipe away his tears with my thumb and I look over all of them- they seem to be calming down a bit.

"He's not, I assure you." I further explain, and try hugging all of them.

"Jinjja?" Beomgyu asks, as he wipes his tears and a little hiccup leaves his lips.

"Taehyung hyung is really not going?" Soobin questions as he hangs on my arm.

"Deh!" I confirm, and their sad faces slowly transition into smiles. "I should've have used a different term..." I mumble with a sheepish laugh.

"That's obvious kid." Yoongi chuckles softly but I sigh at his words.

"Actually we're going to go to the cooking class!"

I try a different set of words this time.

"Cooking class?" Soobin mummers in confusion.

"Deh! We're going to ask Seokjin oppa to make lemon chai for us." I extend my index finger to emphasize my point.

"Ooohh."

All of them mouth, in pure fascination.

"Lemon chai, lemon chai." Beomgyu chants, softly.

"Noona." Taehyun calls as he climbs onto my thighs and he grips onto my blazer. "What's lemon chai?"

"Oof." I hold him securely by his sides. "Lemon chai is a type of tea that you have when you're not feeling well." I inform.

"Aha!" Hueningkai gasps, in realisation. "Is the lemon chai for Taehyung hyung?"

"Mhm mhm mhm." The other four nod as they hum, and wait for me to give them answer.

"Deh. After he has it, it'll make him feel a lot better." I explain with a warm smile but suddenly Taehyun hops off from my thighs and he tugs at my arm.

"Then let's go! Noona!" He drawls cutely, as he continues his tugging.

"Lemon chai!" Beomgyu sings as he claps his little hands.

"We want hyung to get better!" Soobin and Yeonjun exclaim.

After their words they both run ahead with Hueningkai swiftly following behind even though they have no clue where the hospitality room is.

"Yah! Wait for me!" I quickly get up and follow them to set them on the right track. "I'll bring them back soon oppa!"

Yoongi only waves me off with an airy sigh.

Once again I find myself out in the hallway with the kids following me all in a single file. A few times I turn around to check if they're on par with me and they are.

As we head up the stairs, I make sure to get all of them to latch onto me, so it saves me time of each one of them climbing it as well bringing the odds of injury to them to zero because a flight of stairs can become a disastrous fatality zone.

Once we make it up the stairs, I sigh and let all of them down. I walk for a bit before finally reaching the hospitality room and I peer inside.

The room is absolutely crowded- it's full of students nonetheless I step inside with the kids stuck beside me.

"Did Seokjin sunbaenim really lose to all of these people?" I ponder, in a slight daze. "That's Kimpossible..."

"Annyeong!"

A sweet voice suddenly calls, and I yelp- standing on a single leg and I throw my hands up defensively.

"S-Seokjin?" I stutter, scanning his handsome features- plump lips, perfect nose, dark parted hair, and beautifully carved eyes. "You scared me sunbaenim and why is it so full of students? The kitchen's already hot enough and did you really lose to all of these people?" I trail, and stand normally again.

"No, I could never." He chuckles, and digs his hands into his apron. "These guys signed up earlier this year but I'm not sure why so many of them joined though. There's practically no room for movement." He explains, with a confused look.

"Then why'd you put up a flyer that says you're still accepting people?" I inquire, with a raised eyebrow as the flyer from the notice board flashes in my mind.

"Despite this place being over crowded. Principal Bang insisted that we still keep applications open. It's crazy." He shrugs those broad shoulders of his. "But I had to think out of the box so people wouldn't join and that's when I thought of the cook-taste competition."

"Ooh. I see." I nod in approval. "Aren't you the whole package and I'm guessing you've won all the challenges?" I snicker, already knowing what he's going to say.

"Of course." He boasts with a grin. "So you're here to lose?"

"Ani, I actually came here with-"

I turn around only to find Beomgyu and Soobin standing behind my legs and the other three are missing from their spots. "Yah! Where did they go-"

"Oohh they're so cute!"

A sudden voice catches my attention and my eyes trails over to find Yeonjun, Hueningkai and Taehyun all stretching their arms up in the air as if to say they want up but they're actually aiming for the freshly baked cookies just a few metres from me.

"Yah! You three! Don't you remember why we came here?" I holler with a frown but suddenly I feel a tug at my left sock and I look down to find Beomgyu.

"Lemon chai." He cutely mumbles and Seokjin bends down to his level to play with both him and Soobin- whose eyes seem to be sparkling.

Seokjin points out his index finger towards them and Beomgyu takes a hold of it, tugging at it. As for Soobin he's kind of awe struck for some reason.

"Ooh... S-Seokjin hyung?" Soobin gapes cutely and quickly goes into his side to cuddle into him.

"So, you've joined the babysitter club." He declares and smiles at the affection that the two kids are showing him.

"I guess you could say that..." I look away with a sheepish smile and remember the deal which Taehyung and I had made.

"Lemon chai!" Beomgyu repeats as he continues to tug at Seokjin's finger.

"Soo Yeong noona!"

I turn to see Yeonjun, Hueningkai and Taehyun running back towards me.

"See what we got!"

They all show me a single cookie placed within a wrapper and it's sealed off with a purple bow.

"Aish you lot." I smile softly. "We didn't come here for cookies. We came so Taehyung can feel better again."

They frown but I crouch down to their level and pat their heads, "Aish, don't be so sad."

"Did something happen to Taehyung ah~?" Seokjin questions and I nod.

"Taehyung hyung caught a cold!" Yeonjun declares. "And noona said you can help take it away..."

"Ah jinjja?" Seokjin looks at me for confirmation but I smile nod once again.

"Lemon chai..." Beomgyu says, with a smile. "Noona said if Taehyung hyung has that then he'll be better again and he can come play with us."

"Is that so?" Seokjin chuckles, and his eyes holds playfulness. "Is something going on between you and Taehyung because I've never had anyone approach me before asking for chai. Do you perhaps like him?"

I blush at his words, and immediately get up, "A-Ani... I-It's just that... He caught the cold because of me and I want to help him. That's all." I shoot a shy awkward smile his way.

"Aish, don't be so timid and bashful Soo Yeong ah~ I'll help you especially since you made my day with these little ones." He smiles and gets up with Soobin and Beomgyu sitting over his broad shoulders.

"Ah, T-Thank you." I bow in sincerity.

• • •

I stand beside Seokjin and watch his every graceful move in awe. His hands truly work like magic and the kids seem to think the same because they're awe-ing in admiration as well.

After putting a pot of water to boil over the stove for a few minutes Seokjin cuts a single lemon into two clean halves. Then he takes the lemon squeezer and presses every bit of juice out of the citrous-y fruit.

"Ooh." Soobin awes.

"Hyung is so good at cooking." Yeonjun comments as he looks up at me and I nod in response.

Once all of the juice is out, he sprinkles a tiny bit of sugar, just to sweeten it a bit. Afterwards, he asks me to get him some ginger from another cooking station and so I quickly waddle over to get it.

When the ginger is within his grasp, he pulls out a shiny, sharp looking knife from the knife holder and all of the baba's gasp including me because that's one huge knife, that I definitely don't want to be under.

Nonetheless, he goes on to cut away the peel soon after he grates it into tiny bits and keeps it in a small white bowl beside his chopping board.

He removes the water from the stove and let's it cool for a tad bit before he pops two table spoons of honey into it.

"Ah, why'd you add honey sunbaenim?" I question, watching him stir the piping hot liquid.

"It's an effective cough suppressant. You don't want Taehyung ah~ getting a nasty cough now do you?" He hums, then he throws in the grated ginger and freshly squeezed lemon juice.

"Ani." I state, with a warm smile. "Thanks for thinking that far ahead."

"It's a pleasure." He simply says and quickly locates a flask within his work station.

He rinses it out, then he gracefully pours the sweet smelling liquid into it and closes it up.

"All done." He informs and hands it to me, with a dashingly cute smile. "I hope Taehyung ah~ gets well soon."

"Thank you sunbaenim." I bow, and all of the kids- who are now standing on the floor with me- bows as well. "And I'm sure he will after having this."

"Thank you Seokjin hyung." Soobin quickly runs up to Seokjin and he gives his legs a hug. "I'll come back to play soon! I promise!"

Seokjin chuckles cutely at how adorable Soobin is, "You're all welcome to stop by anytime."

With one last bow and frantic waves from the kids we head off to find Taehyung.

• • •

After I left the hospitality room I had messaged Taehyung and he texted me his location- Geography class.

Upon receiving the message, I quickly make my way there and once I push open the door to the desolate classroom, the baba's literally run towards Taehyung and to my surprise Jimin and Jungkook are here as well.

I feel a wave of relief wash over me when I see them because instantly I know Taehyung wasn't alone, and that he's finally getting to spend his lunch breaks the way he always wanted to- with his best friends.

"They're back hyung!" Jungkook hollers and immediately cradles Soobin in his arms. "Cute."

And like the last time, Jimin helps to place them over the desk top. As for me, I go on to squeeze in behind Taehyung and I quickly take a seat beside him with a huge smile.

"TXT and I got something for you." I inform and Taehyung's eyebrows furrow curiously. "Seokjin oppa made it and it's going to help you get better."

"Deh hyung!"

"Have it so you can get better soon!"

"Then we can play again!"

I place the flask over his desk but he simply stares it, and it's just like the last time when I had given him the banana milk.

"Yah! I'm not going to take it back, you should drink as much as you can so you can get better." I inform and pat his shoulder.

He breaks out of his daze and he looks at me. That look in his eyes warms my heart because they're reflect contentment and calmness.

"Soo Yeong ah~ really is that girlfriend. Yah." Jimin mumbles with a soft chuckle from behind me.

"Aish." I flush just a little, and pour some of the lemon and, now, honey chai for him into the lid of the flask.

He pulls down his face mask, and for the first time today I see his lips and there's a small smile tugging at them as he takes ahold of the chai.

"Becareful, it's hot." I warn, and the baba's all watch him in amazement.

He blows on the liquid for a short while then he sips it but quite unexpectedly, his face warps into a form of cringe and his eyes shut tight.

His lips immediately detach from it and he coughs, "Aish, this tastes horrible Soo Yeong ah~." He whines but despite that he attempts a second taste.

"It suppose to, you nut. All medicinal things taste bad." I pout and the kids laugh softly.

"It smells really nice though!" Yeonjun declares. "So how come it doesn't taste good?"

"Hyung's taste buds must be all funny." Jungkook hollers from the back with his mouth open and his tongue out on display. "Because as far as I know lemon and honey chai tastes really good."

"Oohh."

They all cooe in fascination at Jungkook's words.

"Look at him." Jimin pats jungkook's shoulder playfully then he wipes a fake tear from his eyes. "He's finally a hyung."

I chuckle softly at Jimin's words.

The words he spoke is in fact true. Jungkook is the maknae from all four of us so with TXT here he can finally be the hyung he always wanted to be.

I look over at Taehyung, and he's sipping on the chai, with wide eyes and slightly puckered lips.

"You don't have to force yourself to drink all of it Tae ah~," I voice softly and his eyes falls over my lips. "Even if you drink a little, I'll be happy."

"In that case, I'll make sure to drink all of it Soo Yeong ah~." He chirps with a wide boxy smile.

A/n: I've been suffering with the cold for some time now but the cough just made things much more agonising so warm honey and lemon water became my staple drink. It's tastes really good actually.
