"WELCOME BACK, TAEHYUNG!" The rest of the KX5 members shout as soon as their maknae enters the meeting room. All of them literally jump on him, taking him in a group hug. The youngest of the them all giggles. It's been a while since they last hugged each other like this. Maybe it was at some award show when they won an award and now Taehyung realizes how much he missed these hugs. Yes, he did new things while he was on the hiatus. He developed new hobbies and got closer to Jungkook but he would be lying if he says that he didn't miss his group.

Donghae, Eunhyuk and Namjoon look at the heartwarming reunion in front of them. After a month, Taehyung is finally back. When the group moves away from the hug, the other three welcome Taehyung as well and then all of then sit down for a discussion.

"So we are yet to announce everything publicly. How do you want to do it, Taehyung?" Eunhyuk asks.

"I... don't know." Taehyung says. He hadn't really thought about this because until yesterday, he didn't know everything would be fine by today.

"How about Taehyung just shows up in an episode of KX High? The fans would be surprised and they'll be so happy to see him." Jimin suggests excitedly.

"You're talking about his return, Jimin. Mr. Lee is talking about the announcement." Chanyeol says. Jimin nods quickly apologising for his misunderstanding.

"We can make Taehyung return like that and let's keep it a secret until the teaser is out." Eunhyuk says. All the members agree to it.

"I think we can just ask the PR department to make an official statement and clarify what all happened." Namjoon suggests. Donghae shakes his head, "No, in all this drama, Taehyung's public image has be affected badly. I think it would be a good idea if we hold a press conference. We can invite the reporters and Taehyung can talk to them. Eunhyuk and I can be there as well so that everything goes smoothly." Donghae says.

"Yeah, even though the fans would wholeheartedly accept him back, there's the neutral population we need to take care of. A press conference sounds good." Eunhyuk nods. The Lee couple looks at Taehyung, expecting him to say something. "Are you okay with the idea, Taehyung?" Donghae asks him kindly. They know it's going to be hard for him. After all, he got a lot of hate because of all this.

"Yes, I'll do it. I think everybody deserves to know the truth." Taehyung says. His hyungs smile at him as he took a good decision.

"Okay, getting back to your work, have you guys thought about a comeback yet? It's time for it, I guess." Eunhyuk says.

"We have thought of four songs for a new album that we want to release in three months time. But we want more songs." Baekhyun says.

"Hyung, I have written a couple of songs when I was on the... uh hiatus. I'll show it to you guys." Taehyung says and the team spends a good forty five minutes discussing the concept of the new album and how they're going to go about it.

When the group comes out of the meeting room, Yoongi places an arm around Taehyung's shoulder and drags him away from the rest of the boys. Taehyung looks at him with a confused expression so he asks, "Are you okay, Taehyung-ah? Oh God, what am I even asking? Of course you're not. I can see that in your eyes but I just want to know that... will you be able to handle the press conference?"

"Y-Yes, hyung." Taehyung lies. Even he knows that the reports might ask him offensive questions that he sure as hell, will not like.

"You're stuttering. That means you're lying. You don't have to lie to me, Taehyung or you don't have to hide anything from me. I'm your hyung." Yoongi says. This makes Taehyung smile. He knows he has the best group members in the world. All of them love him and care for him a lot.
