Also our hope is here to brighten our day :)

The words which are not in the given language will be in Italics.

Translated from Korean

Dinner at the Bangtan Dorm was usually a personal affair. Every member ordered or made his own dinner whenever he had the time to, their schedule was very busy for them to have dinner together every night. But tonight was a different story. Tonight Jin and Yoongi were preparing dinner for everyone. They wanted to make their new guest feel welcomed. They all had come home early from practice to clean up the house and cook dinner. Chores were distributed equally amongst them. Hoseok and Jimin were in-charge of cleaning the living room while Jungkook and Taehyung cleaned the guest room for Namjoon's cousin.

None of the members had met her before. They knew she existed because Namjoon would talk about her and tell them how proud he was of her but they had never seen or met her personally.

"Do you people think she will talk in English because she is from the States?" Taehyung asked them after they were done with cleaning and sitting in the living room in front of the kitchen.

"Maybe. She is only half Korean you know. Not only is her nationality American but she is also American by blood." Yoongi said.

"None of us are good at English. How would we be able to communicate with her?" Jimin said.

"Talk about yourselves. I can speak multiple sentences in English now." Jungkook bragged while his Hyungs laughed.

He continued his silliness, "When will dinner ready?" He asked in English which made them all laugh even louder.

"I am pretty sure the sentence was not entirely correct." Hobi said.

Jungkook just shrugged his shoulders.

"Dinner will take another hour. Namjoon will not be here for another two hours at least. It will be ready before they arrive." Jin said.

Jungkook made a face when he heard that dinner would take more time.

"I am hungry now." He scrunched up his nose and complained.

"Then go down to the cafe and have something also bring me a cold coffee please." Jimin requested and gave a precious smile to Jungkook.

"Okay but only if you promise to make me breakfast tomorrow morning." Jungkook gave him a side glance with a smug look.

"Fine I will make your breakfast tomorrow. I can't go downstairs now my legs are killing me after today's practice." Jimin agreed to Jungkook's condition and everyone else hummed a response to his practice comment.

Jungkook took his wallet, mask and black jacket from his room and left. He knew no one would see him downstairs because no outsider was allowed inside the complex but he did not want to take any chances. There were sasaengs everywhere nowadays. And he could not forget his encounter with one last month, she followed them all the way to the complex and threatened to kill herself if Jungkook did not come to meet her personally. So now he just liked to keep a low profile.

The café downstairs was owned by a wonderful couple who were in their late 40s. They did not have any children and they loved to have the BTS boys in their café because those boys were always so fun. They would ask Mr. Yoon about his day and compliment Mrs. Yoon on her tasty sandwiches. Mrs. Yoon insisted they called them Uncle and Aunty Yoon.

When Jungkook entered the café it was empty maybe because it was dinnertime, there was a slow song playing in the background and Mr and Mrs Yoon were standing behind the counter looking at each other and smiling shyly. Jungkook smiled at them and coughed to get their attention.

"Ah Jungkook-ssi. What will you have today my boy." Mrs. Yoon asked him, smiling warmly.

"I will have a chicken barbeque sandwich and a glass of orange juice, Aunty." He replied kindly.

Jungkook sat on a table at the corner near a window. This was pretty much his permanent seat here at the café. He scrolled through Twitter and Weverse while eating. He knew it was a bad habit to check your phone during eating, at least that is what Jin Hyung told him, but he just could not let it go. This was probably the most millennial thing he did.

Later on he ordered a cold coffee to go for Jimin. He paid and collected his order to leave but on his way out he bumped into something small. It was a girl who was on the floor and had coffee on her clothes he felt something cold on his black shirt as well. Just great, more laundry for him to do.

"Ouch! You know humans have eyes for a reason right." Jungkook froze. She was speaking in English. She spoke really fast and fluently. He could only understand the word eyes.

He saw that she was struggling to get up so he offered his hands which he was definitely sure she saw but ignored. She got up and removed her mask. That is the first time Jungkook noticed her. She had big light brown eyes, her forehead was small. Her hair was black or was it brown? It was a mixture of both. It came to her waist and was tied in a ponytail. Her hair was straight, too straight, she must have straightened it. She must have been nearly 165 cms or so not very tall. She had a small tummy paunch and her round face and chubby red cheeks reminded him of Cooky for some reason.

When he met her eyes again she looked at him with a questioning expression.

He felt bad for drenching her with coffee and he wanted to apologise but he just could not find the right words. Should he apologise in Korean or English? In English will it be so sorry or I is sorry? He had never seen her around. She looked foreign to him. Her blue ripped jeans and off shoulder white tee which read 'I cant. I wont. Dont ask me.' screamed American to him.

He shook his head and gave her a guilty look as if apologising from his eyes. Her expression changed from anger very quickly, she almost looked sympathetic and sad?

"Oh I am so sorry. I did not know you couldn't speak. It is okay. I am just tired. I should have also seen where I was going. Let me buy another coffee for you." Without the anger in it her voice sounded deep but melodic almost like a song which you would listen to calm you down when you were tensed or just wanted to relieve stress.

Wait. Did she really think he was mute? Should he correct her? Maybe he should remove his mask. No she might freak out after seeing who he was. Before he could say or do anything she was already at the counter. Now it was too late to correct her and it's not like she would ever meet him again so he just kept quiet. When he turned to leave she stopped him.

"Excuse me mister. Please take this." She was holding a new full cup of cold coffee.

He shook his head as if to answer no.

"Please I insist. It would make me feel better." She gave such a caring and sweet expression that Jungkook could not say no. He did not understand what she said but he got that she wanted him to have the coffee.

So he took the cup from her hand and bowed down to which she looked a little confused but bowed back smiling.

Well, at least he had the coffee and that means he won't have to make breakfast for himself tomorrow.

He also saw a really pretty girl today. So all in all it was a win-win for him.
