The next morning, Taehyung awoke to loud banging on the door. He groaned as he rolled out of bed and opened it, revealing an irritated Jin.

"Finally! Do you know how many times I-" Jin screemed when he looked at his dongsaeng standing in front of him. Naked.

"Taehyung! Where are your clothes?!"

"Huh?" Taehyung looked down realizing that he wasn't wearing anything.

Flashbacks of last night's encounter rushed through his mind. He tried to contain his blushing face when he was reminded that he made love to Jungkook.

Jin flicked the younger's forehead, snapping Taehyung out of his thoughts.

"Hyung. Now's not a good time." He managed to say while pushing him out the door.

The elder stopped him and barged into the room. There, sleeping on the bed and wrapped in the sheets, is the golden maknae. Their clothes were scattered on the ground.

"What is this?" Jin questioned. "Did you two have sex last night?"

Taehyung walked into the room, now wearing a bathrobe he retrieved from the bathroom. He scratched the back of his head trying to come up with an excuse. "We were just playing a game."

Jin crossed his arms and tapped his foot. "Uh-huh. And what kind of game may this be?"

"Dress up."

"You're naked."

"I lost."

"And those red marks on your neck?"

"Mosquitoes."

Jin slapped the back of Taehyung's head causing him to hiss in pain. "You're stupid."

"Stupid questions get stupid answers." Taehyung replied, containing his laughter.

The oldest lifted his hand to hit him again until Taehyung ran to the other side of the bed. Jin looked at the mess around him.

"What are you guys going to do after this? Our manager will have a fit if he finds out! Room service is not allowed to tend to us unless they've talked to manager hyung first."

Taehyung shrugged. He didn't really think about that. What are they going to do with the dirty bed sheets?

He's still amazed that Jungkook hasn't awoken yet to Jin's screaming. Then again, the maknae is a deep sleeper.

That reminded him. "Hyung. What are you even doing here? Aren't we suppose to be locked in our hotel rooms for the rest of the day?"

"Oh right." Jin snapped his fingers remembering what he came in for. "We're having breakfast at the hotel's buffet. It's free since we're doing a fan meet-and-greet here on Saturday."

"Oh."

"Yeah. I'm in charge of waking the members. After seeing you two, I'm scared to find out what the others are doing."

"Hyung. Please don't tell the others."

He shook his head. "I wasn't planning on telling. Hell. I wish I didn't know."

After recognizing how awkward the situation was, Jin excused himself, allowing Taehyung some time to get ready and wake up the younger one.

"30 minutes!"

Before closing the door, Jin told him to text him if he needs help with anything.

Once his hyung left, he leaned forward and repeatedly kissed the younger's neck. Jungkook moaned a little before rolling over and looking up at Taehyung.

"Good morning Kookie~" Taehyung sang. "How are you feeling?"

Jungkook sat up and moved over slightly, letting out a deep groan. "My ass hurts now. I don't even think I'll be able to walk."

The elder chuckled and handed Jungkook a bathrobe.

"It's a good thing you have crutches."

The younger blushed, remembering what his hyung said to him last night. Once I'm done with you, your foot won't be the only reason why you'll be needing crutches.

He punched Taehyung's shoulder. "This is all your fault."

"Okay Kookie. I'm sorry." He said leaning forward for a kiss. The maknae rejected it and looked away, pouting.

"I hate you."

Taehyung couldn't help but find Jungkook saying those words to be adorbable. It's cute how his little one pouts.

"I love you too." He giggled, standing upright again.

"I didn't say that."

"But you were thinking it."

"Was not!"

Taehyung smiled at his boyfriend's childlike behavior. He took a quick shower and got dressed. When we was finished, he prepared Jungkook's clothes and helped him into the shower, since the maknae was sore from last night.

After they were both washed and dressed, Taehyung wrapped Jungkook's foot again and handed him his crutches.

"You think you can handle it on your own Kookie?"

The young one nodded. "I'm okay. What are we going to do with the sheets?"

Taehyung sighed. "I don't know. I'll text Jin hyung and we'll take care of it later."

Jungkook's eyes widened when his hyung mentioned Jin. "He knows?!"

"Yeah. He barged in this morning and saw our clothes everywhere. But don't worry. He promised not to tell the others."

Jungkook sighed in relief. He wasn't ashamed of the event that occurred last night, but it was more of a personal matter. Not really something you share to others.

"C'mon. I'm hungry."

Taehyung nodded and held the door open for the other. They met up with Namjoon who was the last to be ready. The other members were already waiting on the second floor where the restaurant was located.

Exiting the elevator, they all walked to their table and situated themselves. Jungkook whimpered at the pain when he sat down.

"Dude. You okay man?" Suga asked when he heard the maknae whine. "You constipated?"

Taehyung almost choked on his saliva. Jungkook glared at him before answering Suga.

"I'm okay hyung. It's just my foot."

The members nodded and dismissed it, except for Jin who smirked at the excuse. Jimin greeted Jungkook with a warm smile and the younger one returned it. He looked to Taehyung who was obviously a little angry.

"Don't worry hyung. You've already marked me as your territory." Jungkook whispered and showed his hickeys he had received from him last night. "Don't be jealous."

"I'm not jealous." Taehyung insisted. "I'm territorial. Jealous is when you want something that's not yours. Territorial is protecting what's already yours."

Jungkook smiled brightly at his hyung's comment. Namjoon turned to Suga and started gagging.

Not to long after, a waitress came over and took their orders for drinks. When they were finished, the waitress instructed that they are free to go to the buffet at any time. Namjoon translated for the members and they walked to the buffet table.

"Wait here Kookie. I'll make your plate." Taehyung said, allowing the maknae to rest his foot, and his ass.

The younger one nodded and played games on his phone. Taehyung knew exactly what Jungkook wanted to eat. Although they've only started dating a while ago, he's known Jungkook for 3 years.

As he stood in line, he noticed a young girl sitting at a table. On the shirt was written "cancer survivor". The girl had brown hair and tan skin.

Taehyung smiled as he walked over to the young girl, who was currently sitting alone. When she looked up at him, she started fangirling.

"Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Kim Taehyung! I mean V! I mean.. Oh my gosh!"

Taehyung laughed at girls actions. She took deep breathes before speaking to him again, in Korean.

"Hi. My name is Kailani. You can call me by my English name, Hope. Kailani is my Hawaiian name. I'm a big fan by the way." She pulled out the seat next to her and urged him to sit.

"You know how to speak Korean?" V asked while taking a seat.

"Yup. Self taught."

Taehyung was impressed. "How old are you?"

"I just turned 13. I'm here with my parents but they're in line right now. Wow. It's so awesome meeting you here."

Cute, Taehyung thought. "I noticed your shirt. Are you really a cancer survivor?"

She nodded vigorously. "For a year now. It's a really good story if you'd like to know more about it."

V nodded. Since the doctor told him he had brain cancer, he wanted to know what happened to the girl who was able to overcome it.

"Well.. About 2 years ago, I started blacking out every once in a while. My parents were worried and took me to the doctor. They said that I have brain cancer and about 5 months to live. If we wanted to do diagnostics, it can further my chances"

Taehyung leaned forward, showing her that he's listening. Wow, he thought. Just like me.

"Well after months of diagnostics, it worked. They said the tumor in my brain went away, but to be sure... I should come back in a week for a check up. So then I went home and enjoyed my week free from the hospital. It's tiring being in there. So depressing."

She continued. "When I returned, something happened. There were now an army of tumors in my brain."

"What happened?"

"I don't know." Hope said. "They said it happens sometimes. They then told me I had two months to live."

"What did you say?"

The girl looked up and smiled. "I said that my name is Hope and that's what I have. HOPE."

Taehyung smiled. "And then what happened?"

"My last two months I lived as if the doctor didn't tell me anything. I wasn't going to let someone tell me when I was going to die. Only God knows that. So, I didn't think about it. I prayed and hung out with my friends. Just lived my life to the fullest."

Is it really that easy? Taehyung thought.

"So after about a month, my mom took me in to get me checked." She continued. "And the doctors were amazed. All the tumors disappeared!"

"Really? Just like that?"

"Yup. Just got to have a little hope." The girl smiled.

"Taehyung! Hurry up and make your food before Jimin eats it all!" Jhope called out.

The girl looked around and saw BTS members standing in line and Jungkook sitting at another table.

"All of you are here?! Oh my gosh! This is like a dream!" She gasped.

Taehyung giggled. "Hopie hyung! Come here for a second."

"But I'm in liiiiiiine." Jhope complained.

"Come here!"

"I'll save your spot hyung. Just go." Jimin said while holding the older's plate.

Jhope ran to Taehyung, throwing his arms around him.

"Kailani was it?" The girl nodded. "I would like you to meet my hope. Jhope."

"Hello. I'm Hoseok, but you can call me Jhope or Hopie"

She held her heart, pretending as if she was having a heart attack. "This is amazing. My name is Hope too. It's my English name."

"Wow. You speak Korean?"

She smiled. "Yup. Self taught while I was in the hospital."

Jhope turned to Taehyung who was grinning.

"She had brain cancer."

"Like you." Jhope whispered.

"Yup. She's a cancer survivor!"

Jhope turned to the young girl and embraced her with a hug. "Congratulations!"

She hugged back. "Thank you."

Hoseok excused himself and went back in line. "You better hurry Tae! We're almost to the front."

Taehyung got up from his seat. "It was nice meeting you Hope. Will you be coming to the fan meet this Saturday?"

She stood up as well and smiled. "Of course! Can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"Can I hug you?" She blushed.

"Why not? Come here!" He pulled her in for a hug when he suddenly heard her whisper.

"Meeting the BTS members was my dying wish. I'm glad I met you."

Taehyung was touched. This random girl he met just gave him... well, hope. He pulled away and patted the girl's head.

"Do you want to have breakfast with the members and I?"

She was speechless. "I-I- uh- yes! Please! I mean thank you- I mean. Nevermind."

Taehyung chuckled. "Let's ask your parents and get in line."

Hope nodded. When the parents agreed, the two of them joined the others in line.

"Why are you holding two plates?" The young girl asked.

"For Kookie. He can't walk since he stepped on a sea urchin yesterday." Taehyung explained while scooping fruits onto the plates.

"Are you two dating?"

Taehyung nearly dropped the plates out of surprise. "What?"

"Nothing." She giggled. "I'm just a Vkook shipper."

Jhope nudged V's arm and smirked. The younger one rolled his eyes and finished making the plates.

Taehyung walked over to the table with his new friend following behind. He took a seat next to Jungkook and Hope sat next to him.

"Kookie. This is hope. She's a cancer survivor."

"It's nice meeting you." Jungkook attempted to say in English.

Hope giggled. "I speak Korean."

After introducing her to the members an enjoying breakfast, she thanked them and they took a group picture. She then left with her parents and said goodbye.

"See you guys on Saturday!"

Jungkook turned to Taehyung smiling. "I liked her story."

Taehyung returned the smile and held his boyfriend's hand under the table. "Ours will be better."
