"What is taking them so long?," Namjoon asked. Impatience clearly visible in his tone.
"Yeah, actually," Taehyung said looking at his wristwatch.
"Shall I go and see, Hyung?," Taehyung asked.
"Yeah let's go and see," Namjoon said.
"Umm Taetae, they aren't kids gone to a carnival. They can't get lost in the dorm. And Joon, sweetie, are you gonna carry them all the way here? Why are both of you going?" Seokjin said folding his arms.
This made everybody laugh except for Taehyung and Namjoon who were looking at each other embarrassed.
Just then, they heard giggling sounds coming from the staircase.
Sayesha and Yoongi entered the hall chatting and unlike most times, Yoongi actually looked pleasant.
Seeing this unusual sight, Jimin scratched the top of his head and whispered to Taehyung,
"Hey Tae, I think Jin Hyung's scoldings are affecting my mental state now. Am I hallucinating? I can see Yoongi Hyung and the dumb lady laughing together."
Taehyung cracked up on this but covered his mouth.
"Can you shut up? By the way, doesn't she look adorable while laughing?," Taehyung said resting his head on Jimin's shoulder. He kept looking at Sayesha. Jimin looked at his hopeless soulmate and facepalmed.
On the other side, Jin and Jungkook were also surprised. Meanwhile, Hoseok had a proud smile on his face.
"You see my little one's effect? She even made Mr. Wannabe rock melt!," Seokjin said to Hoseok.
Hoseok was delighted to see Yoongi and Sayesha finally bonding.
"She did it at last," he thought and let out a sigh of relief.
Yoongi sat next to Namjoon on the couch. Namjoon looked at him puzzled.
"Hyung, is everything okay?," he asked.
"What? Oh yeah. Just that you can't help but love this girl" Yoongi said. He couldn't hide his gummy smile.
Namjoon glanced at Sayesha who was trying to talk to Jungkook and mumbled,
"Hmmm couldn't agree more."
Yoongi noticed this and nudged him with his elbow.
"Why are you smiling all of a sudden?"
"No..n-nothing Hyung. Oh yeah Sayesha wanted to talk to us," Namjoon said changing the topic.
Sayesha went and sat on the table in the centre so that she could see all of them.
As Sayesha started talking, Namjoon noticed her bandaged right hand. He stood up panicking and reached for her hand.
"Hey! What happened to your hand?!"
Taehyung, who was busy looking at Sayesha's face shifted his focus to her hand and freaked out.
He quickly stood up but Jimin held his hand.
"How did it happen? It wasn't there when you came," Taehyung said unconsciously letting go of Jimin's hand.
Both the boys sorrounded her looking concerned.
"Oh it's nothing. Just a small cut. I'm fine," she said trying to calm both of them down.
"But how did it happen?," Jimin asked.
"This kiddo was trying meddle with the strings of my new guitar and the rest is history," Yoongi said shaking his head.
Namjoon and Taehyung looked at Sayesha in disbelief.
"What were you thinking, Sayesha? Now is it paining too much?," Taehyung asked as he took a closer look at the hand.
"I'm fine, really Tae. Don't worry," she said.
"How will you work now? Nevermind. I'll be there to help," Namjoon said.
"Joon, you don't have to. These are just small cuts. They'll get healed in no time. Trust me," she said touching his arm and he reluctantly nodded.
Namjoon and Taehyung cared too much about Sayesha. Too much to put into words and enough to get noticed by all the other members.
It mattered so much to Sayesha too. Especially the way he cared for her.
"Why does he care so much?," she thought.
Hoseok was observing all this trying to look as normal as everybody else.
"Be careful, okay? You're way too important for us," Taehyung said from behind as she was facing Namjoon.
"I will, Tae. Now can you two sit? My hand is functioning perfectly!," she scoffed turning around.
Finally, everyone got seated and Sayesha began to speak,
"So guys, as you all know the Mnet special stage performance is in 2 days, the final rehearsals will be at the venue itself. Mr. Son will be meeting us there and after that you'll be having your costumes trials. So, we leave in say...20 minutes."
Everybody nodded and Hoseok stood up clapping.
"Alright then, pull up your socks fellas!"
"Yeah let's get going," Jin said.
"Great! I'll see you by the cars. And Jungkook? If you again get a backache today, please tell me. I don't want you to suffer on the day of the event. Your health is my priority," Sayesha said.
Jungkook nodded.
All the boys went to their respective rooms to get ready whereas Taehyung had to be dragged by his roommate, Jimin.
"Let's go Tae or we'll be late. She is fine."
Sayesha picked up her bag and was heading out when all of sudden, Jungkook spoke,
"Uhh Noona?"
Sayesha turned around.
"Yeah?"
"Take care," he said with a gentle smile and dashed to his room.
