*Taehyung*

We did not talk much that evening. Jungkook just held me in his arms and whenever I started sobbing again, he would comfort me and kiss me softly. I kept my arms slung around him, my head pressed against his neck. His skin felt warm against my touch and he smelled of Downy's "adorable" fabric softener.

As I lay next to Jungkook, I could feel his warmth and the regular beating of his heart. By concentrating on his heartbeat, I felt myself slowly calm down. We stayed a long time in this position.

Jungkook's words had made me feel better. He tried to understand me and was not pushing me to explain my reaction to him. Although, I wanted to tell him. I really wanted to! But whenever the memories came back to me, my whole body felt sick and I hurt. Therefor  I used to drown the memory in the farthest place of my mind where I would not risk to think about it again. But when Jungkook had said these three words, they had come back and with them the hurt had come back too.

Nevertheless, Jungkook deserved to know what was going on. Joon hyung always told us that we had to talk to each other in order to have a sane relationship. He was probably not just talking about the members. Talking is the key to a fulfilled romantic relationship as well.

I was lost in my thoughts and concentrating on my own and Jungkook's breathing, when someone knocked on the door of the bedroom. Soon after, Jin hyung's head appeared.

"Are you guys ok? Dinner is ready". Jungkook nodded in his direction and answered. "We will be there in five!". Without another word Jin strolled back to the kitchen. 

I felt Jungkook staring at me. Carefully he brushed some hair strands out of my face. "Are you ready for diner or would you prefer staying here? I can bring you some food". Jungkook looked concerned. "I will come with you", I answered and sat up straight in the bed. Jungkook imitated me. Then, with his hands, he brushed softly over my eyes. They were swollen from crying and probably all red.

"Can I kiss you?", he asked quietly as he cupped my face with both of his hands. "Yes. ...Please.", I answered shyly. The kiss he left on my lips was soft. It did not express longing or lust. No, it expressed his love for me and how important I had become for him. When our lips parted, Jungkook caressed my back gently and put another kiss on my forehead. "Whenever you are ready. Until then, know that I am here for you and that I care deeply about you".

He smiled at me, grabbed my wrist and was on his feet in one instant. His smile had been a true smile. He was not faking it. He really was not upset with me, he tried to understand me and to give me the space I needed. In that moment I realized again that I had let enter the right boy in my life.

Together we entered the kitchen. Everybody was already sitting around the table. Food and plates and glasses were served. Jimin and Yoongi hyung were standing next to Namjoon, trying to get something that looked a lot like a cooked duck out of the oven. Namjoon hyung was opening a bottle of champagne. With a loud BANG the cork came free and some of the liquid gushed out of the bottle. Swiftly, Jin hyung was at his side with champagne glasses which they started to fill. Everybody seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood.

Jungkook and I sat down on our seats. The food on the table looked delicious. We always ate well. Always means whenever Jin hyung was preparing food for us, but we never had had so much to eat before. As I looked around, everyone seemed to be cheerful and overexcited.

Jungkook who had followed my gaze around the room was questioning the ambience as well. They were too cheerful and there was too much food for a normal dinner. Hoseok who was seated next to me had also noticed our surprised looks. "Namjoon hyung has something to tell us! Jin hyung already knows about it. It must be something BIG, I guess", he said smiling and was clapping his hands in excitement.

"I wonder what this fuzz is all about?", Jungkook said a little annoyed. He had had a rough day and comforting me and taking care of me the last few days must not have been easy on him. I put one hand on his thigh and squeezed it softly, letting him know that I understood him.

Jungkook took in a deep breath, then he leaned in to kiss the top of my ear. He made the kiss linger a little longer than needed and finally said, "It smells good". I blushed a little, not knowing what he was talking about - me or the food. Then Jungkook turned around again, letting his hand caress my back and neck. I loved too feel his touch on me.

As we were sitting there, Jimin put the hot plate on the table. Yoongi hyung confirmed that it was a baked and filled duck. Jin and Namjoon hyung filled one glass after another with champagne. When Namjoon hyung finally approached me with the bottle, I just shook my head. Jungkook had already put his hand on top of  my empty glass, making sure that Joon would not fill it with the alcohol. "No champagne for Tae", he explained calmly, "he is still on his medication". "Oh right! Sorry, Tae! You want something else?", Namjoon apologized. "Aah, I don't know...", I said. " I will get you some juice. You want some orange juice?", Jungkook offered. I only needed to nod and he was already off, getting some juice for me.

I did not deserve this. Not after what had happened earlier. He should not be so nice to me. I frowned. But Jungkook did not seem to bother serving me and taking care of me. Throughout the dinner, he stood up to get me juice or water whenever he noticed that my glass was empty. His hand was either stroking my back or resting on my thigh. All this time he was making sure that I was feeling alright and that I would not drift back in this hateful memory. Never had I felt more thankful to him than that day.

While Yoongi cut the duck  and put a part of it on each member's plate, I snuggled against Jungkook's shoulder and he put a kiss on my forehead. Our eyes met and I sent him a comforting smile.

When everyone was served, Namjoon hyung raised his glass, ready for his speech. Meanwhile, Jin tapped with his chopsticks against his glass, making it ring and shut us up.

When we were finally all ears, Namjoon took in a deep breath and put on his deepest and clearest voice.

"I've got news for you". Our faces were turned towards our leader. "This morning I saw PD Nim. He told me about the upcoming schedule - Rookie King, promotion of our MV, fanmeetings - and we will even get our own series on Vlive! Our task is it to find a suitable name for it", Namjoon explained then paused.

Sure this were great news. Especially the fact that we would get our own series but this was clearly no reason good enough to throw such a feast. I looked at our leader, one eyebrow raised in question. The other boys, except Jin, were also looking rather disappointed.

"This is it? Seriously?!", blurted out our maknae. I looked at Jungkook. Even though he was attentive around me, his nerves were clearly all on edge. I felt culpable. In order to calm him down, I put my hand around his neck, messaging his muscles. He was all tense. "Jungkook", I whispered, trying to get his attention. He looked at me, then put an arm around my waist, pulling slightly my shirt up with his hand. I could feel his warm fingers stroking my skin as I eased into his touch.

"Of course this ain't all", Namjoon said annoyed. "PD Nim had great news for us. Apparently, the agency had been looking this last month for a bigger dorm with bigger rooms".

At the mention of the new dorm, everyone grew silent. Jungkook even stopped caressing my back as he waited for Namjoon hyung to continue.

" And they found one! Pack your stuff together and be ready to move out in a week! Because we will finally change dorms!", our leader blurted out.

These were indeed great news. The members sprang up and started cheering and hugging Namjoon hyung. Jin walked up behind his man and gave him a back hug, kissing his nape softly. On the rare occasions I saw them showing affection, I became soft and wondered if Jungkook and I looked the same. Instantly, I reached out for Jungkook's hand and closed my fingers around his, pressing them lightly.

Jungkook had stopped frowning and was now smiling at me. The news had been unexpected. We had not thought being able to change dorms so soon.

"How about the rooms?", Yoongi hyung asked. "Will there be single rooms?".

"Ah, as far as I know there will be four rooms. Three double rooms and one single room. I think you won't object if Jin and I share one room", Namjoon explained. Jimin shot our leader a dirty look, making allusion to some sexual activity.

"I think we should also consider giving one double room to Taehyung and Jungkook", Yoongi said calmly. "This will save us from embarrassing moments in the future, I believe", he added and winked at us. I could feel Jungkook tense beneath my touch. When I looked at him he was blushing.

"Sure", Jin said. "Are there any objections to this?", Namjoon asked but the members only shook their heads. "Ok. So Jin and I share a room and our lovebirds share another. This leaves us with another double room and one single room".

I coughed at the word "lovebirds". As far as I knew, they were lovebirds themselves. "I don't want to stay in a single room", Jimin pouted, eying Yoongi hyung. "Hmm. Hope, Yoongi, what about you?", our leader asked. "I would like to have my own room". "I would not mind staying with Jimin", said both hyungs simultaneously. "Then it is all decided. Jimin will stay with Hoseok and Yoongi will get his own room".

"Aah... I will finally be able to sleep all day long with no one who bothers me", Yoongi let out a sigh and smiled with relieve.

I squeezed Jungkook's hand once more and looked at him happily. This would be a new beginning for us. While everyone was chatting, laughing and drinking their champagne, Jungkook turned towards me. Unbothered by the presence of the other hyungs, he kissed me hard on my lips. I closed my eyes and kissed him back longingly. When Jungkook straightened back up, he whispered so that I was tho only one who was able to hear his voice.

"This will be our time."
