The next day the group members woke up and left at their normal early time. After Jungkook got ready, he came into Sun-Hee's room and climbed onto Sun-Hee in bed and peppered her face with kisses. "Have a good day. I will see you later." He laughed and gave her his bunny smile. "Don't have too much fun on your date with Jimin." He teased.

Sun-Hee gave him a sleepy smile and mumbled, "Well, I won't be having as much fun as I did with you last night." She hugged him around his middle. She remembered the mark she made on his neck and opened her eyes wider to see the damage she had done. "Wait, how is your hickey so faded already?! I can hardly see it!"

Jungkook smiled a devilish smile. "I put make up on it, now it barely shows."

"What?! How did you get make-up to match your skin tone so perfectly?" She tried to rub the make-up off but he was dodging her hands. 

"We each have make-up specially made for our skin tone." Finally he grabbed her hands and held them above her head.

"Well, I know what I'm putting on my Christmas list! You know that I did that specifically to make Jang-Mi mad and now she will barely notice!"

Jungkook raised an eyebrow at her, "Wow, I haven't seen your bratty side before. It is kinda cute. If it makes you feel any better it doesn't matter if I cover it up, Jang-Mi will definitely notice."

Sun-Hee wasn't sure that made her feel any better. Jungkook gave her a big kiss and sprang off the bed quickly so she couldn't attack his hickey again. "I gotta go, see you later!"

Sun-Hee washed up but decided not to get dressed. She put on her XXL pajamas because she was supposed to see Jimin this morning and she suspected Jimin would sleep in. He usually liked to wake up late, if given the chance. 

Sun-Hee sat down at her computer with a big sigh. She emailed her professors to let them know that she had to drop their classes. She also filled out the form online to officially drop her classes with SU. She felt bad that she had to do it but she hoped she would be able to finish her degree in the future.

Then Sun-Hee turned on some BTS music and started laundry, vacuumed, and emptied the dishwasher. By the time she was done there was a knock on her door. 

Sun-Hee looked out the peephole and smiled. "Jimin! You are up early!" She said as she opened the door.

Jimin had a huge smile on his face. He was wearing jeans and a black and white striped shirt with a hood. He was holding two pet carriers and a paper shopping bag in his hands. "Wait until you see what I have!"

Jimin came in and put the carriers against the living room wall next to the couches. He opened one of the carriers and a black and white kitten peeked out, then cautiously walked out onto the carpet. It was followed by another and another.

Sun-Hee was delighted. She knew enough about kittens not to scream and scare them. She put her hands up to her mouth and loud whispered, "You brought kittens?!?" 

Jimin laughed, "I knew you would love them. They are on loan from an animal shelter just down the street. We've worked with them several times when we needed animals for our videos. And we've done fund-raising for them too." Jimin picked up a kitten and kissed it on the head and cuddled it to his neck. "These kittens are ten weeks old and almost ready to be adopted out. They are just waiting to get spayed and neutered. But their surgeries aren't until tomorrow so they said I could take care of them today." Jimin looked adorable cuddling on the kitten.

There were six kittens in various colors. Most were black, white, or a mixture of black and white, but there was also a calico kitten. Jimin showed Sun-Hee how to put each kitten in the litter box, which was in the second carrier, and let them walk out of it so they would remember where it was. He also got some supplies out of the shopping bag and put out dry food and water for them. He handed Sun-Hee a couple of cat toys. 

Sun-Hee immediately laid down on the living room carpet to play with the sweet kittens. Some of the kittens were friendly and came over to play. Others just wanted to explore. The calico kitten came right over to Sun-Hee for loves. 

Sun-Hee sat up cross legged so the calico cat could sit in her lap and get pets but she could use the fishing pole toy to play with the others. 

Jimin scooped up a couple kittens that were exploring the kitchen and brought them back to play. 

Sun-Hee looked at Jimin as he was loving and petting on the kittens. "You are certainly comfortable with cats."

Jimin smiled, "I actually like all kinds of animals. I used to have a dog when I was growing up named Ddosun. But I haven't had any more animals. I've always loved cats though. I recently recorded a video with a cat. Did you have animals?"

Sun-Hee nodded, "I had several cats growing up. Cats are my favorite. But I love dogs also. The thing I miss most about having cats is sleeping with them. My cats were always ready for a snuggly nap."

Jimin and Sun-Hee played with the kittens for over an hour until the kittens were worn out. They recorded the kittens' antics on their phones. 

After the kittens were tired Sun-Hee and Jimin laid on the floor and petted the kittens and talked. 

"I'm really sorry you are having to go through all of this." Jimin was laying on his back petting the calico kitten that was on his chest. He gave Sun-Hee a concerned look. Jimin was always so caring. Sun-Hee looked into his beautiful brown eyes and felt the love in his look. "I really wish we could beat him up like we did to those guys in the city."

Sun-Hee was laying on her stomach next to him. She reached out and rubbed his upper arm, "Thanks Jimin. If you beat him up you'd just be arrested for battery. He has all the lawyers on his side. But I appreciate that you'd want to do it. I just keep thinking about how I got myself into this mess by going out with him, when I didn't want to. I should have trusted my instincts instead of taking the easy way out." She hated causing trouble for others and she was certainly causing difficulties for everyone right now.

Jimin shook his head, "No, don't think that way. Come here." Sun-Hee scooted over and rested her head on Jimin's shoulder, amazingly without disrupting the kitten on her back. "You did nothing to deserve the way he treated you. He is just a horrible person." The calico cat was purring away on Jimin's chest loving to have both of them petting her at once.

"I know. You are right. I'm not going to let myself spiral down into a pit of despair again. I have to remember to think of it like it happened to someone else. If this was happening to someone else I wouldn't blame them. We all make bad decisions sometimes without even knowing it. The consequences I'm facing now are disproportionate to the mistake I made. So I shouldn't blame myself, I know that." Sun-Hee smiled so he would know she was okay.

They chatted for a long while and eventually ended up falling asleep with kittens all over them. 

---

It was Jin's turn to stay home with Sun-Hee in the afternoon so he was riding home in a car from Big Hit. Jungkook had decided to come with him to see Sun-Hee during his lunch hour and ride back with Jimin. 

When they entered the apartment they saw Sun-Hee and Jimin sprawled out on the living room carpet asleep. Sun-Hee was in her pajamas and she had a kitten on her back and one higher up on the back of her neck. Jimin had a kitten on his stomach. Sun-Hee was still resting her head on Jimin's shoulder. There were several other kittens cuddled up next to them including one on the floor under Sun-Hee's hand. 

Jin and Jungkook stopped right inside the door, eyes wide. Neither of them knew Jimin was getting kittens. Jin immediately took a couple pictures and sent them to the group chat. The buzzing on Jimin's phone made him reach down and grab it and bring the phone up to his face. When he saw the picture in group chat he gently got out from under Sun-Hee and sat up, knowing Jin was there.

Jungkook said to Jin, "This is the second time in two days I've found her in her pajamas sleeping with one of my Hyungs. At least she is the only one in pajamas today." Then turning to Jin, "Please tell me what you have planned requires her to at least get dressed." Jungkook didn't want Sun-Hee to get depressed staying at home every day. He knew getting dressed and having activities to do could help.

Jin made a cringey face, "Well, we were just going to do some cooking up in the apartment."

Jungkook nodded, "Oh good, she will probably get dressed to go up there." Then looking at sleepy Jimin sitting on the floor. "Come on, we've got to go. And by the way, you were right. She will like the kittens best. Yours will probably be her favorite."

Jimin smiled as he started putting the kittens in the carrier and packing up their stuff. "We need to stop by the shelter and drop them off. It's right on the way."

Jin turned to Jungkook, "Please wake her up before you go. Don't leave her here with me like that. I don't think I'd have the heart to wake her."

But it wasn't necessary, because as soon as Jimin removed the kittens from her back and her hands she protested. "Wait don't take my kittens." She frowned, half asleep. Then she saw Jungkook and Jin. "Oh, hi." She gave them a sleepy smile. She got up and shuffled over to give each kitten one last snuggle before they left with Jimin and Jungkook.

Jungkook gave Sun-Hee a hug and a kiss before leaving. "Did you have fun with the kittens?"

Sun-Hee smiled, "Oh my gosh, they were so sweet! I got lots of videos on my phone, I'll show them to you tonight." As Jungkook was hugging her she tried to reach for the hickey with her sleeve to wipe off the make up. But Jungkook was ready for her and grabbed her hand and held it away. He gave her the bunny smile as he did it.

"Tell me that she saw it at least." Sun-Hee whined a bit.

Jungkook shook his head, "We didn't need our make-up done today, so I'm not even sure if she is there."

After they left, Sun-Hee got dressed and headed up to spend time with Jin in the penthouse. He was laying out ingredients on the counter when she got there. "Oh, are we cooking?!" Sun-Hee smiled and clapped her hands.

Jin nodded, "We'll make something quick and tasty for lunch. Then after we eat we can prepare a nice dinner for when everyone gets home." Sun-Hee nodded in agreement. 

Jin said, "We can make Jjapaguri with beef for lunch. That doesn't even take fifteen minutes. You can help."

Jin showed Sun-Hee how to mix the Chapaghetti and Neoguri ramens. Sun-Hee cut the sirloin into cubes and Jin seasoned them before cooking them in a pan. It was a delicious noodle dish with the beef and a sprinkling of green onions over the top.

Sun-Hee and Jin sat across the table from each other enjoying their noodles. Jin took a big slurping bite of noodles and closed his eyes and shook his head a little. "So good! Do you taste how it is savory but slightly sweet at first. Then you get the kick of spice at the end?"

Sun-Hee nodded. "This is delicious, I've never had it before. I like the little bits of steak also."

Jin asked Sun-Hee, "What do you call the king of cats?" 

Sun-Hee gave Jin a confused look, "I don't know."

"Your meowjesty" Jin said in English. Sun-Hee laughed. 

Then Jin asked, "What type of noodle would Jungkookah be?"

 Sun-Hee smiled and tried to think on the answer. "Fusilli?"

Jin shook his head, "Maknaeroni." They both laughed.

Sun-Hee loved Jin's sense of humor. "This is like being on an episode of Eat Jin. I love that show."

Jin looked surprised. "You've seen Eat Jin?"

Sun-Hee gave him a confused frown. "Of course I have! I've never gotten to watch them live but I've seen them. I love when you describe what you are eating, I feel like I can taste it. And I laughed so hard at the one with you and Jimin and Jungkook when you had gum and candy in the hotel room in Japan."

Jin rolled his eyes, "That hardly counts as an episode of Eat Jin. Jimin was out of control that day. What happened to the famous Italian chef?"

Sun-Hee shook her head and shrugged her shoulders as she ate. Jin said, "He pasta way."

They spent the rest of the afternoon telling jokes and cooking. Sun-Hee had learned some new cooking techniques from Jin and some new recipes. Once everything was ready, they sat down in the living room and played video games and waited for the men to get home. 

In between the video games Sun-Hee turned to Jin. "Hey, I wanted to thank you for helping me during the meeting yesterday. I really don't think I would have been able to tell it to all those people."

Jin smiled at her and brushed her cheek with his thumb, "I'm glad I was able to do it. We all just want to protect you from anything bad happening."

"I know, I feel very lucky to have you all on my side." Sun-Hee smiled a little.

"Have you told your parents what is happening?" Jin asked.

Sun-Hee had a little look of regret on her face answering this question, "No, I really don't want to worry them. There isn't anything they can do about it. Besides, they don't know why Tobi and I broke up. They only met him a couple of times. I couldn't go to their house because Tobi would find me there. And I thought they might not let me come to Korea if I told them they truth about the relationship."

Jin pursed his lips a bit, "You should consider telling them about it. It sounds like your parents really care about you and they would probably want to know." Jin pulled her in for a big squeezy hug. Sun-Hee rested her head on his shoulder and hugged back. 

"Knock Knock." Jin smiled as he said it.

"Who's there?"

"Europe."

"Europe who?"

"No, you're a poo!" Jin turned on the windshield wipers.

"Jin! Oh my gosh!" Sun-Hee was laughing though. They spent the rest of the afternoon in and out of fits of laughter. Spending time laughing with Jin felt so good to Sun-Hee's soul.
