"I should make food, it's almost time for supper" I mumble to myself and I stand up to check into the fridge. What could I possibly make? I did tell Jin I would make food next time, they'll be leaving today so I want to part on a good note.

A multitude of recipes flash through my mind but I ultimately decide to make soup. I get some sliced meat, shrimps and vegetables and start making the stock. While the liquid heats up, I decide to go around to see if everyone's still sleeping or just too lazy to get out of bed. It's been a whole day after all.

I quietly open doors to find piles of exhausted men in every single room. Welp. When I'm about to close the door to my room, I hear a groan and when I look inside, I see a sleepy Hoseok looking up at me like a meerkat. Muffling a chuckle, I wave a little and exit the room, leaving him to decide if he wants to join me or not.

I am indeed happy when I see him close the door behind him and stopping by my side, scenting the soup with happy eyes. "It smells good" he whispers in his raspy voice and I feel proud at the compliment. Soups are the one thing I really excel at making.

He waits for me to set down the utensils and turns me around to look at him. I have to look up since he's taller than me, so it takes me a moment to see that he's not smiling. "Shouldn't you be resting?" he asks and I smile at his concern. "I'm fine, Hoseok, I think I slept plenty enough" I respond but he shakes his head, still not losing his serious gaze. "That wasn't resting, Y/N, if anything, that should've made you exhausted. Go sit down, I'll take care of the food" he says and starts pushing me away.

I have to put a foot down and grab the counter to stay in the kitchen. "You... shall not... do such thing" I struggle to say as he now starts pulling at my arm, but I hold onto the counter. "I promised... I'd make food next time, you're all... leaving soon". One of my hands slip from the counter and I fall backwards, straight into his arms.

He doesn't even vacillate, he just stands there without moving. "I'm going to stay" he then whispers. Surprised, I look up to see his determined eyes. "What?". He smiles and removes my hair from my face, tucking it softly behind my ear. "I'm going to stay here. Jin and Yoongi hyung will probably stay too. The others will have to go because of school, but I know they'll try to come every weekends until we settle things.

I must look dumb right now with my mouth wide open, but I don't care. "What about work?". He scratches the back of his neck. "I actually quit". I stare at him as a blush creeps onto his cheeks and I snort.

"You're too cute, Hoseok, too cute" I say and I can see he's pleased by the compliment, his chest puffing out slightly as his cheeks redden. I turn around to head back into the kitchen to make some rice. Hoseok stays close, following my every move while still making sure he's not in the way.

"I'll start looking for a job here soon, for now I just want to make sure you're alright" he explains and I smile softly. Once the rice is in the rice cooker, I slide under his arms and hug him tightly. His warm body wraps around me and he rocks us from side to side slowly. I laugh, our shared bond sparkling with satisfaction.

After a while, doors open to reveal half asleep men, some going straight to the bathrooms and waiting for their turn while the rests either flop down on the couch or come to the kitchen.

Without leaving Hoseok's arms, I pop a head from behind him to see Jimin and Jungkook staring at us. When I grin, Jimin is first to steal me from Hoseok's arms and moving me away, encircling me in his hold with strong arms. I chuckle at the feeling of his soft hair brushing against my cheeks and feel him smile against my skin.

He then pulls back to stare at me with concerned eyes. "Are you sure you should be up and about? Shouldn't you rest?". Hoseok starts chuckling. "I told her the same thing, Jiminie, but she's stubborn" he says in a tone laced with tease and Jimin grins.

I look behind me, not liking what I'm feeling through the bond and when I lock eyes with Jungkook and see his sorry eyes, it's to be attacked with feather fingers tickling my body. I start screaming and twisting around to get out of Jimin's reach but Hoseok is blocking the way, giggling cutely at my attempt to free myself.

I hear feet running towards us but I'm too busy trying to push Jimin and Hoseok away as screams mixed with laughs leave my throat. "H-h-help-AH!" Jimin reaches my neck and I twist  around, legs shaking already as I try to squeeze his fingers to stop them from moving. "J-Jung-Jungkook!".  That's all it takes for a pair of arms to swoop me away from the suffering, body hiding me from view as I start getting aware of the heavy laughing in the room.

My breath is quick and short and I have to put all my weight on the man holding me to not fall because my legs don't give a damn anymore. "The neck was a cheap move, Jimin!" I scream without looking behind and he laughs even more, the bond buzzing with jubilation from making me a laughing mess.

A hand falls on my head and I look up to see Jungkook and Namjoon side by side staring at me with bright eyes. And I realize it's Jungkook's body that traps me in his hold, intent on keeping me there, his eyes on Hoseok and Jimin's bodies as they run around in the living room with Taehyung. His glaring soon becomes smiling when he hears them laugh and I giggle when I hear Taehyung scream, his normally deep voice suddenly going up a few octaves.

I bring my attention back to the soup and Jungkook lets me go with a pout before exiting the kitchen. Namjoon stays by my side and watches me stir the soup with undivided attention. "I wish I was good at cooking too, I can only make very simple things and even then, that is if I don't break something" he says, dejected.

I take his large hand and make him hold the wooden spoon before guiding him in stirring softly. "It just takes practice. Making soup is pretty much the only thing I can make that tastes good, but that doesn't stop me from trying. You can too" I express fondly and his dimples make an apparition, his shy smile giving life to butterflies in my stomach. I slowly let go of his hand as he keeps stirring with careful eyes, making sure to not go too fast or use too much strength.

When the rice cooker sings its song, Yoongi enters the kitchen and proceeds to make bowls for everyone with Jin's help. Taehyung, Sanha and Moonbin help with the soup and the rests, including me, are asked to sit at the table. I help JinJin and MJ to find the table extension while Eunwoo and Rocky go find some chairs and an extra plastic table since we don't have enough space for everyone.

Once the extension is placed and the extra table in the room, we set them side to side, allowing six person to sit on both large sides with one on each end.

It goes as follow:

         Namjoon

Sanha              Yoongi
Eunwoo          Jimin
JinJin              Y/N
Moonbin        Taehyung
Rocky              Jungkook
MJ                     Hoseok

              Jin

Yoongi and Jin bring the bowls of rice and set them at each place while the others bring the whole pot of soup with bowls and some side dishes that were in the fridge. Once we're all seated, I look as everyone tastes the soup, anxious to know what they think of it.

One after the other, eyes light up and smiles appear on faces, hums of surprise as they keep taking more and more. "Man this soup is good" Yoongi exclaims and I giggle loudly, making him lean forward to look at me.

Jin coos and Taehyung brings a spoon to my mouth even though I have a bowl of my own. "Say ah-". I open my mouth and he delicately brings the spoon inside, only getting it back once I've gotten all its content. He grins and proceeds to keep eating, ignoring the wide eyes our other soulmates give us.

Confused, I glance around me to see JinJin and Eunwoo sharing a smirk and I tilt my head. "What?". Jimin taps my hand to make me look at him and he too brings a fork of a side dish to my mouth, expectant eyes waiting for me to accept the bite. He then proceeds to keep eating with the same fork and Jin seems about to jump on the both of them, his ears red and eyes almost popping out.

"Y-you" he starts, not finding the right words seem to annoy him even more and the duo start laughing loudly, sending our soulmates smirks around the table. Jungkook sees my confused face and just shakes his head. He mumbles a "It has begun" before picking at his food. I hear a chair scrape on the floor and a spoon above a hand appear by my side. I look up to see Namjoon, mouth open and waiting for me to do the same.

Yoongi and Jin groan before doing the same, Yoongi a spoon of warm rice while Jin brings his glass of juice, his smirk wider than the other's for some reason. When he brings it to my lips, I take a few sips before some of the drink spills on my chin. His eyes seem so happy as he uses his thumb to wipe it clean and Jimin whines loudly, saying how it's unfair.

Do I look that sick? Do I seem unable to eat and drink by myself? Are they just playing with me? What the heck is happening?

MJ laughs at me because he can hear all the questions that go through my mind right now. "I can't believe you don't get it" he exclaims and I sigh, a pout taking place as I take some vegetables.

When we finish eating, Sanha is quick to run to the kitchen and takes ice cream cones for everyone. He hands me the most chocolatey one as he knows I would kill for it and I take my time eating it, enjoying the taste. Hoseok then sits next to me and allows me to take a bite from his ice cream, the strawberry flavor mixing with the chocolate one. I hum, satisfied before seeing him stare at my cone. I move it away from him with a glare. Sharing my chocolate ice cream is a huge no no. What I don't expect is for Jungkook to steal a bite from behind the couch.

Hoseok's eyes glare him and when I look down to see a huge bite gone forever, my mouth falls open. Hoseok moves away from me, fear now taking place on his face and I turn around quickly to see Jungkook. His grin quickly disappears and he gulps.

"Did you do that?" I ask, voice cold and he looks around, begging silently for help. "You're not getting out of this" Moonbin says and everyone keeps their distance, taking example from my brothers.

"It was just to tease you, I'm sorry" he starts and I move around the couch, only stopping in front of him. I eye his ice cream that has yet to be opened and he gets the hint. He tears the plastic apart and brings the cone to my mouth.

I mentally smirk and stretch my mouth before taking the biggest bite I can manage. Jungkook seems frozen and a little sad when he sees half of the ice cream already gone. Happy about the situation, I sit back on the couch and see Hoseok hide his ice cream with his free hand.

"Take notes guys, if it's chocolate, don't take it away from her" Eunwoo says and everyone nods. "Note taken" Namjoon whispers, a wide smile on his face. Yoongi too is grinning widely as he comes to sit next to me and allows me to taste his.

Then Jin looks at the time and gasps. "The last train will leave in one hour". The mood drops and becomes gloomy as faces stare down at the floor. Hoseok looks around before standing up. "I'm staying behind. I quit my job, I'll try to find one here". Yoongi shuffles next to me and I see him stand up too. "I actually did the same thing. I'm staying". "Well I guess we'll be three, because I also quit the restaurant. I'm already thinking about working at the cafe Scenery" Jin adds and eyes widen.

"You didn't think about telling us beforehand?" Namjoon exclaims and Jimin nods quickly, seeming as hurt. I'd expect betrayal and guilt to flow through the bond but really, it's just surprise and a little of disappointment.

"You know you guys can't stay, you have school" Jin says with a sorry smile. Sighs are heard through the room, but they know he's right. "You guys can come during the weekends" I say, trying to cheer them up. It works a little when faces look at me with sweet smiles and nods.

"Alright, we should get going, we need to make our bags" Namjoon says and whines fill the air. I stand up and trust Sanha with my ice cream before taking the time to hug my soulmates.

Namjoon's huge body wraps around me and I lean my head against his chest, enjoying the sound of his heart beating. "Take care, Bun, we'll see you soon" he whispers and I nod. His hand tucks some hair behind my ears and he leaves a kiss on my forehead.

Jimin is next and we share a pout as we hug. His forehead fall on the skin of my neck and he pecks the skin softly. "I'll be back soon, baby Jewel". "I know". We share one last look as he kisses my nose.

Taehyung doesn't waste any time in engulfing me and scooping me up in his arms. He spins around a few times before leaving a wet kiss on my cheek. "I'll miss you Kitten, I'll call you as much as I can". I smile. "I'll be waiting".

Jungkook then steps forward and cups my cheek with his hand. I lean into his touch and close my eyes. His free hand pushes my head against his chest and he slides his arms around my back. "You don't hesitate to call, Marshmallow, no matter the reason" he whispers and I hum softly.

His presence feels so comforting since the memory, when he suddenly appeared and helped me. How I feel must have seeped into the bond because arms encircle the both of us in a group hug. I don't want to cry, I want to tell them 'see you later' with a smile, but I already miss them so much.

"You'll all be back soon right?" I whisper softly and I hear sniffling.

"Of course, wherever you are, we'll go".

"It's a promise then".

"It is".
