Edit 12/27/23 

I had to edit a picture of Yoongi because a reader claimed they couldn't see the text and it was filling the entire screen.  If this happens please comment on that picture, and I will try to edit it to see if I can fix it. 

Added to the above note.  For some reason the image in question is appearing a lot larger than it is.  I've resized it twice, and for some reason wattpad is blowing up larger than it is.  I am not sure what to do about this outside of what I have already tried.

The sun that was currently shining directly on my face while I am trying to sleep is seriously annoying, but that also makes me aware of something rather important. I open my eyes to indeed confirm that the sun is higher in the sky than it would normally be when I wake up to my internal clock. I guess that means I mentally turned it off. I turn on my side and frown when I realize that I'm alone in bed. I'm also not sure how Jimin managed it, but he somehow was able to wrestle his sleep shirt on me while I slept. I can only imagine what kind of struggle that took. He either didn't completely achieve the task or chose to ignore the buttons I had unfastened last night; since they are still gaping open which leads me to believe he somehow wrangled it over my head.

I'm thankful that he somewhat dressed me, however I find myself frowning when my thoughts become more focused. I begin to wonder to myself. Why did he leave me alone in bed?

Only a moment or two later I get my answer when the door is opened, and he carries a tray into my room. I don't really register that he wouldn't be able to open the door and juggle all that on his own until Hobi follows him in the room. I blush slightly and glance at Jimin. Did he tell him? Is everyone in the house aware? Am I even mad if they are?

Hobi smiles brightly at me. His smile rivaling the luminosity of the sun. "Good morning, Petal." He comes to my side and kisses me on the lips.

"Hyung! You stole my kiss!" Jimin complains. "I should have gotten the first kiss this morning." He pouts.

Hobi glances at him. "You got one of the most epic of firsts. I wouldn't gripe too much about me stealing her first kiss this morning."

I groan and hide under the covers when I feel the blush growing brighter on my cheeks. I mumble from underneath the covers. "Does everyone know?"

I hear a slight panic in their voices when they start discussing something in Korean. The few words I do know at this point are a bit lost in the rest of the conversation making it impossible to decipher what they are talking about. Although, I can easily deduce they were worried about my question. "I'm sorry if you think I shouldn't have said anything, love. It was hard to evade the reason you weren't up making breakfast yourself."

Hobi's voice chimes in. "If you are worried about any of our reactions I can tell you that none of us are terribly upset. Jk pouted a bit. Jin blushed and was a bit quiet for a few minutes. But outside of those two no one acted even remotely negatively about it."

I sigh and pull myself out from under the covers. I guess I will have to pull Jk and Jin aside later to have a private discussion with each of them.

Jimin places the tray in front of me. "You should eat before it gets cold, love."

The two keep my company while I eat my breakfast. Once I am on the last bite, Hobi excuses himself into my bathroom for some reason. When I hear the water running I am momentarily confused until I register that he is doing his part in pampering me this morning. "I started a bubble bath for you, Petal."

"Thank you, Hobi." He kisses me softly. Then he takes the tray from me. "Jiminie, can you get the door for me?"

Jimin shuffles off to do that but shuts the door and comes back quickly afterward. He lifts me into his arms in a princess carry, which is completely unnecessary but exceptionally romantic of him so I don't utter a complaint and wind my arms around his shoulders. Once we are in the bathroom and he puts me down he quickly takes on the task of unfastening the buttons on his sleep shirt. His eyes hungrily rake over each inch of bared flesh as if this were the first time he was seeing me. He helps me into the water, and I look up at him longingly. "I didn't get to wake up in your arms. Will you join me? At least so I can get more cuddles?"

It only takes him a moment to divest of his clothing, which I hadn't really registered before but apparently he must have gotten a t-shirt from his own room before he headed down to breakfast himself. I scoot forward in the large tub for him to lounge behind me and pull me into the cradle between his legs. "How are you feeling this morning, love? I probably should have asked that first thing."

The question has me mentally revisiting the events of last night. I take inventory of my body's reaction to the memory and realize while I am running a bit overheated I'm not quite sure I'm ready to have him revisit my body just yet.

It's a good thing too because in the next moment there's a knock on the door and when neither of us respond to get up and answer it after an additional knock or two someone lets themselves in. Yoongi glances in the doorway and despite the oddness of the situation he smiles at the two of us in the tub together with bath suds up to my collarbone. "How are you feeling, Honey?" He too asks, and despite the status of mine and Jimin's shared nudity still bends over to peck me lightly on the lips.

I realize I hadn't yet divulged an answer to Jimin when he just asked me the same question himself. I look between both pairs of dark eyes and smile softly. "I'm fine. I promise. Perhaps a bit sore, but I wouldn't even compare that pain to some cramps I've had over the years. So yeah, obviously I can cope."

"Well, the soak in the tub will probably help too." He nods at Jimin. "Good idea."

He shrugs. "I wish I could take credit. But, Hobi-hyung was the one that started the water for her."

"Ah." He nods. "Well, I just wanted to pop in and see how you were doing. I'll let the others know not to bother you for a bit so you can soak a while longer."

Good idea actually since none of the others, outside of Hobi who already visited, have seen me naked. Yoongi might only be able to see the suds, but if they had already started to fade I don't think I would be too embarrassed by my nudity. I would more likely be embarrassed by the fact that Jimin was nude and with me also at the time.

Yoongi leaves shortly after, and Jimin and I stay in the tub until we both make silly comments about how the pads of our fingers are pruning. "Do we have anything planned today?" I ask him as I pad myself dry. I'm honestly considering a shower too, since the bath didn't really get me clean but I'm not about to let water drip everywhere between now and my shower.

"I think Jk said something about inviting someone over before lunch sometime. Taetae is supposed to be spending some time with his actor hyungs sometime after lunch for a while. Outside of that I don't think so." Jimin quickly explains.

"I wonder who Jk invited over." I ponder out loud.

Jimin shrugs, but I'm not sure if he doesn't know or he has been sworn to secrecy. It seems especially suspicious when he turns away from me for a second to hide his face.

He quickly dresses back in his pajama bottoms and t-shirt. I hand him back his sleep shirt even though a part of me wants to keep it. I only mentally relent when I realize if I were to steal something from him I would rather it be something I chose myself. But that's also only if he lets me into his closet.

While I am tempted to let the faucets of the shower massage away some of the aches from my body I instead choose to take a quick one with the sole purpose of getting myself clean. Of course that still means it takes awhile just because of my thick hair alone. I'm too lazy to blow dry my hair right now so I weave the damp curls into another braid and hope whoever is coming over isn't someone I need to impress. I also put a pair of lounge pants on and match that with a baggy oversized t-shirt. I guess if I should change clothes one of them can let me know. I just want to be comfy right now. I think that my craving for comfort has more to do with the fact that I have to somewhat dress up tomorrow than anything else.

The minute I walk out the door and begin to head downstairs I am tucked into a full body hug. "Morning Taeger." I grin to myself.

"Morning Angel." I feel his wideset smile against the crown of my head.

"You are going out with the friends you made from that drama you were on later?" I know the name of the show he acted on is Hwarang, but I am honestly afraid of mangling the pronunciation.

"Yes, but I was curious if you wanted to have another lesson tonight when I get back. I don't plan on being out late with them."

My responding shrug is slightly awkward since he has me locked firmly in his arms. "Sure."

He finally releases me from his hold, and I take a moment to decide which direction I am going. I'm not sure which of the two I want to find first, but I know I want to talk to both of them. That thought is taken from me by the sound of the bell that announces someone's arrival. Could this be the person Jk was expecting or someone else entirely?

Tae grabs my hand and escorts me downstairs. I notice a very excited Jk has made it to the monitor pretty fast, which leads me to believe that he was sitting nearby waiting impatiently for this stranger's arrival. The rest arrive shortly after from different areas of the house.

Once he is okayed with security to come through Jk runs to the door and waits to let him in. My bunny is so eager it makes me wonder if Hobi had overemphasized the fact that he had been pouting earlier. It's also possible however that he is just distracted for the moment by his own enthusiasm.

As soon as each of my soulmates introduce themselves to the stranger in question Jk pulls me into the crook of his arm and introduces me. I bow and enunciate a greeting in Korean. "Annyeonghaseyo, bangapsumnida."

They all look at me proudly, although no one is more proud than Tae himself whose wideset smile seems somehow even more broader than before.

Jk finally addresses me to explain what is going on. "This is Lee Sungmin. He is going to be taking our speciality bowling ball orders."

Oh! I understand why he is so excited now. My bunny has been wanting to bowl with us all since the day he showed me the lanes downstairs. But, with only one bowling ball that wasn't in any way feasible.

Sungmin pulls out a few binders which we huddle around to get an idea of what we might want. Jk takes a binder for himself, which I am not surprised by in the least. Namjoon and Tae huddle around a binder with me. Jin and Yoongi share a binder. The last Hobi and Jimin share.

Tae, Jin, and Jk probably take the longest to decide. I immediately settled on something that I felt represented both myself and BTS in a way, or at the very least it reminded me of them. I chose a galaxy toned bowling ball with hues of midnight blue, teal, and purple. It was glittery and next to the creator's logo I asked for a trio of stars to be added. The whole effect somehow reminded me of their song Mikrokosmos.

Namjoon's was a little similar to mine in shades. Only it was a trio of what he claimed as his favorite colors. Black, pink, and purple swirled together in almost a smoky milky way effect which is only reiterated by speckles throughout the design that look like stars.

Hobi originally had pondered over getting a bright yellow smiley face bowling ball, but he wasn't terribly thrilled with the visual of the sample one he found. So instead he settled on one that was mostly a teal green with a black and white smoke effect detail.

Jimin chose one that was mostly his favorite colors of black and varying shades of blue, but it also had some pearly white mixed in. I even thought the colors reminded me of how Earth looks from space, only without landmasses.

Yoongi's was probably the most plain out of all of our selections. But that didn't make it any less pretty, and it was definitely symbolic of him. He didn't want to go with just his favorite color of white, so instead he chose one that seemed to swirl both his favorite color and the black of his microphone. The overall effect had the color reminding me of melted steel.

The trio that were having the most difficulty ended up picking not one bowling ball but two. Which somewhat made sense for Jk since he would probably be bowling the most often out of all of us. But somewhat confused me regarding Tae and Jin until they voiced their reasoning. The two bowling balls they were greatly leaning toward were some of the priciest and most difficult to make.

Jin's first choice was a clear bowling ball with a rose hovering in the middle. I could just imagine him having one of us take a picture of him holding it and sharing it on sns. He'd probably even pucker his lips for the camera.

Jin's second choice still very much represented him in the color choice. It reminded me of cotton candy honestly with the shades of sky blue, pink, and white.

Tae's choices were as bold and as colorful as he was. Out of all of our choices they were also the most unique, which once again was very Tae. His first choice looked like it was glossy and made of glass with bold bright colors of red, orange, yellow, green, and blue all spun together in a giant swirling motion. It honestly kind of reminded me of the center of a marble, only there were a lot more
