"... And 3 2 1...! Got it? Okay, that's all for today!"

"Thank you for your hard work!"

"Thank you!"

"Ah... That's a brutal routine, teacher!"

"Haha, practice harder so you'll be ready in your comeback."

"Yes, teacher!"

BTS laid on the floor all sweaty and out of breath. It's been a tiring week for them. They wake at the crack of dawn for working on their album, dress fitting for the music videos to be shoot at and long rehearsals hours for the new choreography that made them dead tired for the day. When they hit their beds, they're out quick as a light and nothing can wake them up until the next day, repeating the same routine.

"Ah, here's some water." The new p.a. said and handed it to the guys with a bow.

"Thank you, hyung." Jungkook gratefully accept the drink and grin at the p.a. The male p.a. beam back and hurried off to the rest of the group. The maknae of the group stare at the new guy on top of his bottle as he drink it. He was easily overwhelmed at first meeting them. Tons of mistakes was done that even RM hyung's monk patience is tested several times. They have to hold down Jin hyung when the new p.a. turn his favorite pink shirt to black. They have no idea how he done it with the washing machine but their ears were ringing from all the cursing hyung did.

"Ah, I'm hungry..." Jimin said as he rub his stomach. In cue, the p.a. have a big black paper bag in his hands. Seven heads turn to his direction as if it was calling them, sitting up from the floor and waiting with anticipation for it.

"It sucks we're on a diet...." Yoongi said but he was smirking to himself as he ate with his cheeks full.

"Yeah, always green..." Jhope chime in but he was waggling his eyebrows as he chew his salad.

"Stop complaining. Be thankful we are having a healthy meal." RM lightly scolded them but was smiling. The new guy look at them puzzled at how their words are so contradicting to how they ate with gusto at the moment.

"..." He sigh to himself and pull his phone out to read the nth note he have to memorize in heart especially on taking care of BTS needs. It's all thanks to this unknown email that he received weeks ago that he was saved from being fired from his hundreds of mistakes on the job. At first, he was suspicious of it for knowing everything the group does from the moment they open their eyes down to the shoes they wear. He was on a tight spot to either report it to his superior or save his ass from being unemployment, so he took a risk and followed the advices and tips given to him, it worked for his side.

'It was a miracle!' He clench his fist to his chest and inwardly crying with joy for the unknown savior he have. Surprisingly, he followed the instructions to the T that he stuff the essential things in one big bag, was early, made sure everyone and everything is in order before departing and always ready for their needs.

He's going to be the perfect personal assistant in history!

"Is he okay?" Jin asked, looking behind them.

"I can tell, he's a funny guy to be around." Taehyung said when their p.a. suddenly pump his fist in the air with a big smile for no reason. They already notice the big changes of his work attitude which delighted them. His clumsy and mistakes was replaced by his attentiveness and quick response actions that a personal assistant should have. And they already have an idea who made him like that.

Whenever lunch or dinner time comes, they always look forward to it. They always waits for the familiar black paper bag that contains meals that have her touch. She made sure it was right on time and knew what should be eaten at that moment. Nobody needs to say anything because they knew that Park Yong Jin made a big permanent place in their hearts that no one else can replace.

"You're still watching over us, Yong Jin." Taehyung thought and smile to himself and touch the simple looking bracelet on his wrist.

It had three different colored braided strings that was knotted together. A gift he received for his birthday just three days ago. Indeed it was the best birthday ever he had.

***
3 days ago...

"... Let's see what our ARMY are saying..." RM hyung said and look at the monitor where hundreds of comments keep on popping in the screen. The group are doing a live streaming and updating their fans about their recent activities that happened these past few days. Just finishing a pre-recorded episode for their show in the outskirts of the city and have now gathered in an undisclosed hotel to rest before heading the next day back for another busy schedule.

"Wah! Hyung you forgot to get something important!"

"I did? Oh... Oh! I'll be back." Jimin chuckle when Jhope walk out of the hotel suite they were occupying and turn his attention back to the camera.

"Hyung always forget, neh?"

"Aigoo, I wander what it is." Jungkook chime in and make a funny face that the fans who were watching send lots of heart emojis and calling him cute on the other side of their screens. All of the smiles and being boisterous while talking with a camera on them was the perfect cover for what's really hiding underneath their facade. If there were sharp eyes watching their interactions, one would take note on how these men have strained smiles on their faces and anxious movements that wasn't necessarily needed.

+Will Park Yong Jin come back as BTS's assistant?

+isn't he in jail?

+I heard he bail out.

+should be left to rot there.

It's been a month since the issue had died down from the news yet there are some who still linger and ask questions. Suga steal a glance at Taehyung who remain silent in the corner. He doesn't need to ask but already see how much he try not to show how affected he is when he read those comments. During the talk, one or two would comment of how quiet Taehyung is but would be brush off because of the thought of exhaustion to their sudden pile up schedule.

Jin nod on whatever their maknae said but had his mind occupied by other thing else. Bang PD-nim just send a jam pack schedule without meeting them and let the manager deal with it. He didn't even call or tell them on how is his situation after the incident but just got down to business. It was so out of character and unexpected and that they feel they were thrown to the deep sea without reserve. They manage to breath only when it was Taehyung's birthday came up.

Bighit had rented out an entire floor of a hotel for the group and staff members to take a day off and celebrate. Of course, the boys included Army in their live streaming of celebrations.

"Happy birthday to you~"

Jhope enter the room holding a cake with light up candles on top of it. Jimin and Jungkook held a banner with funny cut out pictures of Taehyung. Suga and Jin sang loudly as they clapped to the beat while RM pull out a party hat and wore it on a surprised Taehyung.

"Happy birthday our dear Taehyung~!!" They cheered and clapped around him. He was now holding the cake in his hands, bashfully smiling.

"Everyone... Wow, this is really... I mean, you all greeted me this morning already so I wasn't expecting a surprise." He shook his head at how excited Jungkook is looking at the cake. Well, it did look delicious.

"I want to thank everyone for celebrating this day to me. I'm really grateful for you all for not giving up on me and sticking like an irritating gum."

"Yah!" Jin complained but laugh it later on.

"Army... Thank you for your endless support and care. Please continue to watch over us." Taehyung gave the camera his box smile that made some hearts flutter.

"It's been a tough time for us but... I'm happy that today, another milestone is added in my life. My only wish is..." Taehyung didn't say it out loud the last words but close his eyes and blow the candles instead. BTS knew what his wish is but remain smiling because they also wanted that one to happen too.

To see Park Yong Jin again.

As the live recording ended and ate their fill of cake and alcohol, their p.a. knocked on the door and pop his head in.

"Uhm, you got a package." He enter the room holding a big box that almost topple him if it wasn't for RM who quickly helped him out.

"What's this?"

"No idea. Manager said I should give it to you now." He shrug and huff when he place the box on the bed. Taehyung frown at the inconspicuous box that has been labeled fragile. With a box cutter in hand, he slice the top open and slowly peel the plastic covering off.

"What~"

"What is it?" Jhope asked and peek over Taehyung's shoulder. Inside were wrapped gifts with their names on the it. 

It doesn't have to be your birthday to celebrate how amazing you all are.
-PYJ

"Uhm... Does anybody know who is giving us gifts?" Jimin was puzzled at it.

"But my birthday is still few more months." Suga said as Taehyung hand him one and the rest to the still confused members.

"It doesn't make sense... Wait..." Jungkook stare hard, eyes almost crossed while concentrating on the simple note that was place on top of all of this.

"It's noona!" His sudden exclaim had startled them. Yong Jin? They don't understand how but each of them had a package in various sizes. She wasn't there with them but made sure she's thinking of them all the time.

"Look! Look what noona got me!" He was like a small kid hyped up and excitedly showing off the 'HARE big black check shirt' he got.

"This... Aigoo..." Jhope chuckle as he pull a red HOPE bag out. It definitely his.

"It's so soft and comfy." Suga complimented the fabric of his new pink sweater when he wore it.

"Yah, this so cool!" Jimin was awed at his new gold deck of cards. It was sparkling underneath the lights.

"This is... oh gosh." RM jaws slack open as he held a Pasotti black umbrella with a lion head as the tip of the handle. It look so refine and luxurious.

"I look more handsome with this." Jin wore his Gucci shades while taking a ton of selfies from his phone.

"What did you got?" Jimin asked Taehyung.

He pulled a simple looking heart shape lampshade. He wasn't sure what to do with it when it suddenly light up.

"Omo! Is it broken?" Jhope frown at it when Taehyung picked a small card inside the box.

"This is a heart touch lamps..."

This is a pair of lamps that whenever you touch to light it up, the other pair will also turn on. A reminder to your lover that you're thinking and missing of them.

"A pair? Where's the other~ oi Taehyung!" Suga call out to him when he quickly walk out the room.

... His heart pounding in his chest as he run towards to his allocated room. He stood before it still holding the light up lamp. His instinct is screaming for him to see what's behind the door. Is he thinking right? What if it was just all a hunch? Is he jumping to a conclusion? He wanted to be right. He wanted to know. His breathing felt short and heavy as he swallow the big lump in his dry throat, his other shaking hand pull out his key card and heard the small beep to open the door.

There were no second guessing when he push the door open and step in the room. The light doesn't flicker up and left him walking in the room with the lamp as his only guide in the dark. When he stumble in the middle of the room, everything around him stop and all he could focus is the figure standing by the windows gently cupping another heart shaped lamp. He wanted to just stay there, not disturb the scene he always wanted and dreamed to see.

"Yong Jin..." He whisper her name, lips trembling when she look up at him with a soft loving smile in her face. The glow of the lamp doesn't give justice of the person he crave to touch and hold on forever.

"Happy birthday Tae..."
