First of all, I wanna say Happy Jungkook's Day! It's the golden maknae's bday today!

Next, this chapter is kinda short. I'm not really sure what else to add to this so yeah.

Enjoy!

Caro's POV:

I finish cleaning the last bedroom and I'm out of breath. Who knew cleaning 4 bedrooms was gonna be tiring. Maybe I should have taken Zoey's offer for help.

Finishing up the last pillow, I take one last look at the room before closing the door and heading back upstairs.

Henry was mopping the floors and I was about to step on the wet spot. "Wait! Go that way! Don't step on the floor there!" He yells while pointing to the floor.

"Okay! Jeez, woman, you don't gotta get so angry about it!" I say as I walk to the area that's not wet.

He glares at me as I walk say from him. I glare back, not wanting to lose to him.

Walking to the kitchen, I see Zoey writing some stuff down. Must be the grocery list. Henry and I can't exactly go grocery shopping without her since she's the one who does most of the cooking anyway. So she needs to choose the stuff herself.

Another reason why is because she often gets tired of eating certain foods all the time, so it's not like we can keep getting the stuff we got last time. She wants to get whatever she craves or whatever she looks at that seems good. Hopefully, that makes sense. She likes the get the stuff that she can cook with, and she's pretty picky about brands and stuff too. Also, she has bad memory so writing stuff down doesn't always help, she tends to forget to write things down. She needs to visually see it on the shelves to remember that she needs it.

Grabbing a cup from the dishwasher, I peek over her shoulder to see what she's writing, I already know but ill as anyways. "Are you making the grocery list?" There seems to already be a bunch of stuff on the list. Makes sense since we have nothing left in the fridge and pantry.

"Yep, I got pretty much everything in here." She says as she continues to write.

I remember something that we need to get. "Okay, and make sure to get some butter! Last time Henry forgot it!" I say, making sure Henry heard what I said.

"I was in a hurry okay!" He yells back.

"Yeah, whatever!" I say as I go to get some water.

Last time Henry forgot to get butter from the store even though that was the only thing he was supposed to get. He came back with a bunch of random snacks instead. I was so angry at him that time, like how do you forget that?! He had one job and he couldn't even do it properly. Now I can't send him to the grocery store by himself.

As I'm drinking my water, I hear the doorbell ring. "I'll get it!" I yell as I walk over to open the door.

I swing the door open expecting the mailman to be there or my neighbour, but I was wrong. Instead, I come face to face with all of the BTS members. I'm confused and shocked to see all of them here. My eyes widen as I look at them. "Uhm, Zoey? Can you come here real quick?!" I say frantically not keeping my eyes of the guys.

Zoey's POV:

I'm confused why, but I go anyways. "Yeah sure, why what's up-" I stand beside Caro shocked by what I'm seeing right now. Why in the world is BTS standing on my front porch.

"Pinch me," Caro whispers. I do as she says and I pinch her arm really hard. "Oww! Wait- so this isn't a dream?"

"Nope, this is not a dream. Nice to see you again!" Namjoon says as he looks at the two of us smiling.

"H-hi!" I stick my hand out and we shake hands. "Uhm so, what are you guys doing here?"

"We're here to live with you!" Jimin says excitedly.

"Wait- what?" Caro says, she's even more confused now.

The boys look at each other. "Well, you probably want to sit down for this..." Jin says.

"O-okay, uhm come in then." I gesture for them to come inside.

Caro just stands beside me confused as we watch these boys walk in, their manager also walks in with them with 2 other men who look like bodyguards. I lead them to the living room and tell them to have a seat.

I drag Caro to the hallway so that we are out of sight. "What are they doing here?! I didn't know we were having surprise visitors today!"

"I don't know! You tell me!" She says.

I look down at what I'm wearing. I have on an oversized shirt with paint splatters on it and some short shorts. "Ugh, and I'm wearing this too," I say, and Caro just laughs at me. "Why are you laughing?"

She continues to laugh. "Look at your hair." She points to the top of my head.

I groan and walk to the mirror, I have a giant bird's nest on top of my head. Well, it's not called a messy bun for nothing. Sighing I walk back to Caro. "You go accompany them for now. I'm gonna go get changed into something more presentable." I say as I walk upstairs.

"Wait what- why should I do it?" She says as she follows me.

I glare at her. "Because I look like I got ran over by a truck, whereas you look somewhat presentable!"

"Ugh fine! But what should I even do?" She says as she puts her hands on her hips.

"I don't know! Just talk to them, or give them tea or something!" I say as I run upstairs. I hear her groan before stomping away.

Looking through my closet I find some leggings and an oversized gray sweatshirt. I slide them on and then I fix my hair into a decent-looking messy bun. I wash my face to get rid of the sweat and I put on some lip balm. Managed to do all that in 5 minutes, that might be record time.

I run back downstairs and I go to the living room. I see that Caro was sitting with them, talking. "Hi everyone, sorry about that I just needed to change."

"It's fine, don't worry about it," Namjoon says.

"So what brings you all here?" Caro asks confused.

"Well..." This time their manager speaks up. "You guys already know about the situation with the whole rumours and stuff." He says.

I nod my head for him to continue. "Well, matters are getting worse in Korea. There were fans, and anti-fans swarming the buildings trying to get to the boys-"

"Wait, trying to get to the boys? Shouldn't they be coming after us instead of them?" I say confused.

"That's what we thought would happen. But we aren't actually sure what their intentions are. There's a bunch of stuff they claim they're gonna do but we don't know much yet." Their manager said.

"And so you thought it would be a good idea for them to live here?" Caro says.

"Well it wasn't our first option, but some people were planning some really bad stuff to do to the boys-"

Caro cuts him off. "Like?"

"Well... Like bombing the buildings, stalking their every move. Basically stuff like that."

"But why here though?" I say.

"Well, we already know that those people are from Korea so they have no idea where this place is. Second, it's better to keep both you guys and the boys safe together. And third, let's consider this a vacation for the boys."

I stare at them in shock, my mouth hanging open. "Did you just say vacation- you think it's going to be a vacation considering the fact that people are trying to kill them?!"

"Okay, well maybe not a vacation. But look, we know the boys will be safe here since we have bodyguards and this place is far from Korea-"

"But how do you know people won't come over here and attack us?" Caro says, cutting him off again.

"Those people don't know that they're here. They still think the boys are in Korea."

"How? Did they not see you guys leave?"

Their manager stays silent for a bit, the boys not saying anything either. "Let's just save that for another time, for now, let's just get this over with." The manager says as he takes out a bunch of documents.

"What are those?" Caro says.

"This is the contract-"

"Contract?!" Caro and I say at the same time.

"Yes, the contract. You can read it if you want." He hands me the contract.

I read through it. "You will be living together for one year or more until the problems are solved- is this really necessary?!" I say.

"Yes, yes it is. Now you will have to let them live with you for one year, or more as the contract says. You are allowed to leave the house with the boys but you have to take one of the two bodyguards with you. We will be giving you $3000 for their expenses per month. And the rest is stated on the contract."

"Wait, wait! One year?!" I say confused.

"Yes one year! We have some other things we need to fix at the building. Or in other words, we are making a new building so we need to finish before they can come back. Also, we have other things that will take a really long time to finish. Meaning you need to keep them here for a year."

I stay silent as I look at them. Are they being serious right now? "Uhm, but what if I need to go out by myself, do I need to bring a bodyguard with me?"

"Yes, it's for your own safety. Also when you go out you need to wear a mask."

"A mask? Won't that be too suspicious?"

"No."

I look at Caro then back at them. "Can I go talk with my cousin first?" Their manager nods his head.

I grab Caro's arm and drag her outside of the house. It's cold but I couldn't care less right now.

"What is going on right now?" Caro says. She looks like she's about to go crazy.

"I don't know okay! I'm just as shocked and confused as you are." I sit down on the front porch steps and put my head in my arms.

"What are we gonna do? Do we just say yes? I mean, I don't have a problem with them living with us but- like is this for real?"

"I don't know. We could say yes since it's for our own safety."

"And theirs," Caro adds.

"And theirs, but still. I am having a really hard time comprehending everything right now."

"Same here," Caro says as she sits beside me.

"So what do we do?" I say as I look at her.

"We don't really have a choice I don't think."

"That's true, so do we just say yes?"

"I mean, yeah pretty much. It's not a big deal if they love with us, if anything it's actually better."

"Better?"

"Yeah, I mean think about it. We have more people in the house which makes it funner for all of us. And we won't have such a big house to all of us."

"That's true, it does get pretty lonely around here."

"Exactly, so let's do it then." She says as she stands up.

"Okay, I guess we're doing it." I follow her inside the house.

"Let's do it," Caro says as she enters the living room.

I just really hope this is the best decision to make...

Also, I was curious, does anyone look at the chapter aesthetics I put at the start of the chapter? I usually put things for visuals or hints as to what's gonna happen in that chapter. If you do look at them, do you find them as a spoiler or actually helpful?

But I hope you like this chapter, also again Happy Jungkooks day! Happiest bday to our bunny maknae!
