Sydney. Australia

On Wednesday, the group arrived at their hotel, The Sheraton Grand Hyde Park hotel. The boys were fatigued after the long flight. They were so excited about winning the Billboard Top Social Artist award for the very first time. Their ARMY was still reeling from the unexpected accolades. Their rivals were so jealous, and the antis couldn't help but be annoyed at the "paper award". ARMY didn't care, and the social media platforms were buzzing that a Korean Band won the most famous and well-known artists like Justin, Selena and Ariana.

Taehyung spends the whole flight sleeping after talking with his " fun-size-off. The maknae-line, aka Jimin and  Jungkook, was very busy on the flight playing online games and being extra. 

The hyungs were enjoying their chatting. Yoongi looked glum that he had to leave his newly bonded soulmate back in the USA, but everyone was consoling him not to be discouraged that he would see her in a week back at home. 

He already had a meeting with BangPd and the management to meet his soulmate. The group can't wait to meet the 3rd Bell. Yoongi felt a little apprehensive about meeting the CEO of YG. Jiho's* management. 

Jimin was also his annoying self with his Hyungs, and the management asked Jimin to please behave in Sydney. He was again in a bit of a dating scandal during the BBMA's. His noona caught him kissing Ariana Grande. He clarified that they were just friends, and he pecked her goodnight and retorted back that Taehyung and Funsize were the recent scandal makers. The Members were snorting. 

Taehyung says with a dry tone," Well, I  can peck  Yunru*"Funsize" like that, but not my mom and the so-called scandal wasn't a scandal like yours. Nobody saw our faces, but yours are constantly splashed across the tabloids with the girls."

Jimin just shrugged and said calmly," Whatever... Ariana and I are tight. We are great friends." 

  That statement had the Hyungs in stitches. Taehyung just snorted. The management just shrugged. Hopefully, this tour will not be stressful with the Maknaes line. Jhope still doesn't want to sleep alone in his hotel room and opts to share with any  Hyung. Taehyung can imagine how traumatized his hyung is by what happened a year and a half ago in his hotel room.

Jimin pleaded with the Management to at least entrust him with a bit of freedom. He is Tarnished, and he has the right by law to search for love. Jhope, Jungkook, and Namjoon, who were still single, shook their heads.

Jimin only teases and makes out with girls now and then, but they all know he loves his Tarnished status and its flexibility. He doesn't require to settle down. Maybe after 35 years. He is in this game as a playerโ€”no worries about spouses and babies. No lady will bother his bachelorhood.

That evening the group decided to relax because it would be rehearsals and on Friday, their one-day Concert. They are so thrilled to meet the Aussie-ARMY.

Jimin and Jungkook were peeking through the booklets while awaiting Sejin and Hobeom to settle their reservation.

Jimin was overjoyed when Sejin informed him he would not share a room. He will have his hotel suite as the eldest Maknae. Taehyung just grinned at Jimins' giddiness.

Jhope nudges his shoulder," Hmm, you are gifted "eldest Maknae status"."

Jungkook grumbles," I prefer to have a suite to myself."

Seokjin snickers," O no! Baby maknae...You still need supervision. You have your suite at home but slips in others' beds when you are scared".

Jungkook just pouts his bunny lips. The older maknaes snickers at his disgusted facial expressions.

Yoongi and Jhope are going to share this time. Yoongi explained that he and Hobi have been working tirelessly on composing songs, and they want to finish them together, especially for the four days they'll be spending in Australia.

Everyone notices that Yoongi is going through a strenuous time after bonding. He became clean to them during their time in the USA. The members provided him space to deal with his soulmate- status. But The soulmates sorted it out. They have yet to meet the lucky girl.

Where they were seated, a few hotel brochures were spreading on the side tables. Jungkook took one. At least he can understand some English,well.

Jungkook smiled," look ,they have an executive lounge on the top floor with sweet and tasty treats. Can't we check it out, guys?

Look what they say...
There are all the perks of the club lounge (private check-in for VIPs, access to the boardroom, etc.), but the spread of food is excellent with fresh prawns, oysters, sushi, dim sum, noodles, and an extensive range of desserts-even a high tea feast with sweet treats- hm sound delicious."

"Count me out, and I'm going to nap a bit. I know Sungdeuk will murder us slowly tomorrow." Yoongi grumbles, pondering about the rigid schedule.

"Well, at least Aussie -ARMY's can indulge themselves in this face... "gestured laughingly at his face. Namjoon just rolls his eyes. Typical Jin.

Jhope smiled cheerfully, "I will write and call my family. Jiwoo was a little ill. I want to know how's she's doing. She was in New York at Jordans' family."

Taehyung chuckled, "I can come with you, Kookie. Let's check out all the amenities before leaving on Sunday evening. But I'm still going to Skype, my darling, first. It was her last week of interning. I can't wait for her to join us in Japan."

Jimin nodded," The soulmates are fun to be with. Tell her," her Jims says 'hi baby' ..." he chuckles at Taehyungs face, "....I'll join you, kooky. At what time?"

Taehyung hated it when the boys tried to flirt with Yunru* to annoy him. He doesn't want anyone to touch his girl. The boys know how to irk him, especially the little Chimmy. But Taehung loves his male soulmate. They understand each other's jokes and teasing.

"Let's go by 9 pm...we can have drinks and relax till 10 pm," Jungkook suggests.

"Ok...it's settled." Jimin smiled. Taehyung just nods. He wants to talk to his girl and find out how her weekend at home was and that annoying best friend.

That evening. 9 pm. Executive lounge.

The bodyguards accompanied them to the door. Management reserved a table for the three maknaes to relax. Luckily no ARMY was at the hotel, and no saseang fans alarmed them.

Taehyung and Jungkook were playing  in the afternoon some games. He is sharing with the maknae. When they meet each other at the elevators, they are surprised at Jimin's superb look. They look all look impeccably dressed.  It is their time to bond as the maknaes. 

Taehyung looks at his Wetlook, "Wow, Hyung, that's a seductive look. I like your jacket and a thin T-shirt. It looks as if you don't have one on. The stylists must learn from you."

Jimin just pouts," I was in a hurry...I nap a bit... ok, I lied... I watch Netflix. Brush up on my English,"

"Like G'day mate...howzit going?"Jungkook says, grinning for trying an Aussie accent.

Jimin chuckled, "I don't know...mate!"

Taehyung snorts as they all move to the lounge.

They stepped in, laughing and teasing each other. The two bodyguards were inside the elevator waiting for them. They reached the glass doors of the Executive lounge. The bodyguards told the maknaes that they would be safe and stood outside the entrance.

Taehyung spoke to the lady at the reception desk." Good evening---Ma'am?" Jungkook also bows and greets the lady at the front desk. A figure drew Jimins' attention somewhere else.

 She smiles and beamed at them. Her heart was almost stopping at the sight of the three handsome kpop band members.

Jimin was looking around with interest. There were lounge sofas everywhere, a place to read the latest newspapers, a bar, and a buffet area with treats.

After the lady whose tag name read 'Ally' explained the details, they walked further into the loung at a table. He saw two older gentlemen at a table eating and drinking wine in a corner.

The maknae saw a table where they wished to be seated. A girl entranced Jimin at the far corner at a table near the window. She looked cute in her uniform, and the boys felt a little comfort that she wasn't openly fangirling with them.

Her whole demeanour was calm, but they could sense her nervousness. She must know them and find it hard to fangirl. They were surprised when she didn't call them by their names. 

Jungkook were amazed that a girl didn't seem to know or recognize them or had excellent restraint. They suddenly relax in her presence.

"G'day gentlemen'-" she greeted them gently and led them to the table. Jimin loved the sound of her voice. It sounds like music. Taehyung bows, and Jungkook smirks, especially at Jimin, who has trouble looking away from the girl. She had their maknae-bro smitten, and she didn't even know their celebrity.

She asked them for their drinks orders. They nodded and thanked her. On the table was a drinks menu. It was funny how they were trying to pronounce the words on the menu. She smiled brightly at them. It looks like she found them adorable by the slight smirk on the corners of her mouth.

They looked surprised at her composure. It seems that she doesn't even know their names for real.

"Ok, what would you like to drink?"She asked Jungkook, who looked with concentration at the menu. They were practising hard speaking English. They understood well, but their sentence construction needs still polishing. He smiles up at her with his shy, bunny smile. Taehyung was snorting.

"O...Ok, I would ...like ...er...coke er Ms Ruby...Please and thank you...or Ta, " Jungkook stuttered it out, looking at her name tag. She smiles at him encouraging himโ€”appreciation towards his attempt at speaking English.

The boys looked at each other and quickly assumed that the redhead girl truly didn't know them; she honestly had no idea who she was serving. It was so refreshing. No shrieking, fainting, screaming, and fangirling.

"Kookie is his name...I like er...a Cream soda...please  Ruby... thank you ". Taehyung introduced Jungkook. He was waiting for her to see if she was a real  ARMY. But no recollection, there was no strange reaction from her. She honestly doesn't know BTS. She giggles a little good-naturedly at him. He looked at  Jungkook with a smirk.

She told them that they could go and serve themselves sweet and savoury snacks. They jumped immediately up and move swiftly to the buffet counters: Kookie and food.   They choose some of the treats. Jungkook signalled to him to look at Jimin, who was still seated at the table with the redhead.

Then he could see how her breath hitched when her eyes fixed on him. It was like a magnetic pull. The two couldn't stop looking at each other without blinking. They were entranced with each other. They could see that Jimin's emotions were all over the place. 

Jungkook looked at him and smirked," Let me quickly go and break that spell. It seems our Chimmy is whipped."

Taehyung grin," Lets' bet 20 000 won to see if he made a scandal this time. "

Jungkook smiled and shook his head while biting on a sweet strawberry tartlet" I don't think he will be that reckless. He just got older maknae status and has a room by himself. So you will lose."

Taehyung smirks and shakes hands," Prepare to lose big time, Kookie. I'm going to buy Yunru all the Sydney snacks. "

Jungkook quickly moved slowly and silently to the table where Chimmy and this girl were still staring openly at each other.
His slight cough made them break the magic.

Jungkook looked from him to her and smirked." Er...Jimin, aren't you going to place your order? You make the beauty nervous...stop it already." he scolds him. He gave a breathy laugh. Does Jimin look a little nervous? The girl looked suddenly very worried. She smiled nervously at Jungkook, that was still smirking. Taehyung was snickering softly where he stood at the sweet buffet. He loves the high tea menu.

Jimin cleared his throat, smiled at her, and gave her his order" um...I like a coke ...too please ..." maybe with you as a side," he mumbled inaudibly in Korean. Jungkook heard him, widened his eyes, chuckled, and quickly returned to the buffet where Taehyung was selecting his favourite snacks. The two maknaes glance at them with big smirks on their faces. They can't wait to tease him again.

"Er ...Ok, thanks...I'll bring it to your table..." just as she was about to turn to go place the order at the bar, Jungkook and Taehyungs' eyes widen they stood and observe the two as they saw how Jimin s' arm shoot out to keep her back. She looks back down at him with wide eyes. 

"Um ...thank you for ....serving us...I'm Jimin...that one with...white shirt...er ...Jungkook and Taehyung "V"?

He gestured at his snickering friends,  speaking with his best English. Her eyes sparkled as she looked.

"Oh...er nice to meet you, Jimin ...I'm Ruby..." She nervously stuttered it out. He smiled and let her go.

She swiftly passed Taehyung and Jungkook with blushing cheeks as she went to the barman to place their orders and quickly left the room.

Taehyung only furrowed his brow, because he saw something odd was happening with Jimin. He had never reacted like that to any girl before. This average girl took his breath away.

Through the evening, both of them were discreetly checking each other out. The awareness was there. The other maknaes knew right then that Jimin and the girl were physically attracted to each other. What is busy happening to their  Chimmy?

Jungkook called her over and wanted to know what specific snacks were called.

"Oh...that is a lemon tart..and a pecan nut... square" he smiled as he bit into it and made a moaning sound of how delicious it was. Jimin smirks.

Taehyung, "Whoa...nice!" He enjoyed his cocktail mince pies. He missed Yunru as he bit into his pies. She loves pies.

He loved the lemon cream mini tart. Taehyung and Kookie were laughing at the cream on top of Jimins' lip. He was using the tip of his tongue to lick it off his top lip. Taehyung grinned inwardly as he observed how Jimin smirked as he saw the redhead blush bright red as Taehyung saw how Jimins' demeanour changed when he caught her checking him out. He liked that she became hot and bothered around himโ€”typical Jimin.

The girl  suddenly looked edgier, as if she wanted to flee from their presence.

"If you need anything...just call. I'll be right back." She quickly told them while diverting her attention quickly to the two older guests standing up to leave. She smiled at them and started to clear up the table with nervousness.

The three of them were laughing and bantering. They enjoyed the treats. Jungkook had three rounds of serving. Taehyung ordered a few extra sodas and a cider. Taehyung shook his head as he quietly observed how Jimin's eyes drove over the girl, especially when she moved to clear the table on the terras. 

Jimin looked at them and cleared his throat," Guy, excuse me for a sec. I want to ask " Red "something." He abruptly stood up as he and Jungkook looked flabbergasted at each other at the sudden move of Jimin.

The terrace area was on the top floor. The girl was looking down at the railings, and Jimin stood behind her- with his hands in his jacket pockets. It is a bit cooler at night.

The curious eyes of the two younger maknaes were following every move of the older maknae. He was looking down on the shorter girl and was talking to her. Jimin and the girl were clearly into each other.

Jungkook looked shocked at Taehyung," Did he just give her his number. Taetae, management will be livid. It is not allowed."

Taehuyng snorts and says dryly," Since when did Chimmy care. He likes the girl a lot."

Jungkook saw how the bodyguard entered the lounge, looking at them with a furrow on his brows as he saw one of them was not at the table.

"Oh-oh ", Jungkook whispered. " Go call him quickly before he notices Chim on the terras and alert management."

It was dark with a few illuminated lanterns around the terrace. Taehyung jump up while Jungkook went to the bodyguard to keep him from
