WRITTEN IN THE STARS

August 21

[ Molly POV ]

•

I fall back on my bed, allowing my body to sink deeper into the bed's comfort. I close my eyes for a while, taking a rest from a full day of business meetings.

When my mind had begun to shut down, the sudden ring of my doorbell scared my body, forcing me up.

Eyeing the clock on my night stand, I furrow my brows in confusion.

"It's so late." I mumble to myself, getting up from my bed to answer the door.

As soon as the door swings open, a large body swings towards me, pulling me into their arms. Resting my chin on their shoulder I look at the rest behind him, smiling when I see my favorite boys on my porch.

"Hey." I smile, pulling away from the hug to meet Tae's eyes.

I open the door wider, allowing them all to walk in. They head straight to the living room, plopping themselves down on the couches.

"When did you guys land?" I ask, sitting on the ground as I lean on the coffee table.

"This morning." Hoseokie smiles. "We came over, but you weren't home."

"I know." I frown, resting my chin on the palm of my hand. "I've been in meetings all day."

"Do you have events coming up?" Joons asks.

"We're just figuring out my schedule right now." I nod. "I'm working on a few collaborations and possibly a movie."

"You're writing a new album?" Jungkook asks.

"Hmm." I hum in response, thinking about the question. "Not really. The collabs are just for singles. A few artists have given my a song, so I'm working a schedule to record them. And other artists are having me features in their song." I explain.

I look around the room, counting the bodies. I tilted my head in confusion when I counted only six.

I guess under all the excitement of seeing the boys again, I hadn't realized that Jimin was missing. "Where's Jimin?"

"He's at home." Yoongi answered. "He doesn't feel well."

I nodded, thinking that it was just an excuse for him not to come. I'd become used to that excuse. That's the reason why I had not seen him for over a year.

He's still avoiding me.

We sat in the living room, talking for hours and forgetting about time. Eventually we moved to the kitchen and made ourselves a late night snack.

It felt nice having my home filled with their laughter. Even when we had nothing to say and just sat in silence, it was nice, enjoying just each other's presence. They filled my home and my heart.

At 4am they left my home, and unable to walk to my bedroom, I crashed on the couch, letting my mind shut down.

The sound of my phone ringing beside my ear jolted my body awake, immediately starting a headache.

With my eyes still closed, I brush my hand along the couch, trying to find my phone to stop the ringing.

Without checking the caller ID, I answer the phone, pressing it to my ear.

"Hello?" I groan, scratching the top of my head.

"Molly." Hoseokie's worried voice on the line forced me awake.

"What's wrong?" I ask, standing to my feet at the sound of his voice.

"We need a favor."

"What is it?"

"Come to the house as soon as you can." He said before hanging up the phone abruptly.

I ran to my room, stripping my cloths off in the process. I quickly jump in the shower, taking the shortest shower in my life and changing into some decent cloths.

Whatever the favor was, he was in real need of it. I could hear it in Hoseok's voice and it made me worry.

With my hair still wet, I grabbed my car keys and drove to their home.

Not caring about knocking, I ran inside, calling out their names.

"Hoseokie!" I shouted, checking the living room.

"Up here!" He shouted back, calling from upstairs. I ran up the stairs and down the hall, pocking my head into each room for him.

Finally, I found them standing in a huddle around Jimin's bed. "What's wrong?" I ask, panting loudly from the run around the house and worry that kept my heart beating fast.

I squeeze between them, finding Jimin on the bed as he lay peacefully asleep.

"Can you babysit Jimin for us?" Hoseok asked.

"What?" My eyes narrow at his figure. He was relaxed, dressed in comfy summer clothing like he was about to go out.

He chuckles, showing his beautiful set of teeth. "Well," he became hesitant, bitting on his bottom lip. "We're gonna be gone for a day. He can't be alone."

"How old is he? 5?" I ask, a bit of attitude in my tone. Hoseokie laughed, placing a hand on my shoulder.

Jungkook just chuckles behind him, throwing his shoulders up. "Sometimes." He chimes.

I sigh, rubbing my eyes with my fists. "You woke me up at," I pause, checking the time my phone read since I had not yet checked the time because I was worried. "eight in the morning to babysit?"

"Please, Molly."
