"The feeling of being curled up
in your arms
with our fingers intertwined
and the soft feel of your
breath
on my neck can never be put
into words.
I can, however, tell you that it
is where I belong
and it is in those arms that I
feel at home."

TWO MONTHS LATER

Taraa's POV

My back ached due to sitting in the aeroplane for so many hours. I took my luggage, hired a taxi, and gave directions to the driver. I had to come back here after 3 months so I didn't move out from my previous lodging.

Instead of going to my home, as I knew it would be dirty as hell and I couldn't just leave it like that but I was also tired, so I gave directions for Bangtan's house. Not gonna lie, I also wanted to meet them as soon as possible.

For all I knew, they could not be at home and rather at their dormitory, but I wanted to try my luck.

As for Jinhee, she had told me beforehand that she would be visiting Japan with her family for some business, and hence there was no point in contacting her.

I got off in front of their house and thanked the driver. Wishing that they were home, I made my way towards the door and rang the doorbell. Noises from inside indicated that people were present.

The door clicked open, revealing a yawning Jimin. He adjusted his eyes to the light outside by blinking a few times, and then his mouth and eyes widened.

"TARAA?!" he exclaimed.

"Minnie!" I exclaimed back, confirming. Jimin pulled me forward and engulfed me in a tight hug. I hugged him back as he patted my head from behind.

"I thought it was the delivery guy." he said and I giggled. "C'mon. Let's surprise others." Jimin said, taking hold of my suitcase. I thanked and followed him towards the door.

Opening the door, we just stood there waiting for the others to notice. But as always, they all were too busy to even spare a glance at us.

I cleared my throat. No reaction. I repeated it again, a bit loudly.

Hoseok did a double take when he glanced at us. Soon, the others followed and in no time the whole room was filled with greetings and hugs. I couldn't see Jungkook anywhere, and Jin noticing my search for him with my eyes, told me that he had gone nearby to buy groceries.

"Why didn't you tell any of us that you were arriving today?" Taehyung asked.

"For a surprise?" I stated, as it was obvious.

They were asking me about my stay in India, when the doorbell rang.

"I will check. It might be Jungkook." I said, and went towards the main door. I peeped through the door-eye and it was indeed Jungkook, holding bags in both of his hands.

As soon as I opened the door and he grasped the situation, both the bags from his hands dropped down and his eyes widened. I was expecting some kind of gesture, but none came. Instead, I had to pick up both the bags and call Taehyung from inside to drag the man in the living room.
