"And yet you still called her those names knowing that she understood you!!!" Jin exclaimed standing up. Yoongi just shrugged again. "YOU RASCAL!" Jin jumped up about to beat his ass when Gauravi held him down.

"Mr. Jin, it fine!" She exclaimed with eyes wide. She didn't want them fighting. Yoongi and Jungkook quarreling over her were enough to handle. Jin turned his glare on her. Gauravi gulped and let go of him. "What I-I mean is that I don't mind what he said. He was just being protective." Gauravi said glancing at Yoongi and then back at Jin, who huffed in return crossing his arms

"But still it wasn't right to do so." Namjoon said looking at Yoongi who averted his eyes scowling.

"But it's fine either way. To be honest, he was suspicious about me, so I understood his behavior towards me. You don't have to be angry-"

"That doesn't matter. You apologise to her right now." Jin said pointing his finger at Yoongi. Yoongi huffed looking away. "Yah! You ras-"

"Ahhh! Does that mean you were acting from start?" Hoseok exclaimed diverting the attention of quarreling brothers. Gauravi threw a smile of gratefulness at him. Hoseok winked and smiled back.

"Umm, yeah. That was part of my job, so yeah." Gauravi smiled.

"Then, then does that mean, when you- in hallway-" Taehyung asked pointing at Jimin and then at her.

"Yeah." Gauravi chuckled nodded her hand. "Sorry about that." She looked at Jimin who blushed remembering that day. "I didn't really didn't know how to act like when a fan meets her idol. I came out as a pervert, didn't I?" She chuckled shaking her head.

"S-so, so! You are not a fan!?" Taehyung asked standing up.

"Of course didn't you hear what she just said." Yoongi muttered rolling his eyes. at which Taehyung pouting looking dejected.

"Uh, well that's true. I didn't really know about you guys until I was hired. But! That doesn't mean that I am not your fan!" Gauravi quickly said when see saw Taehyung's shoulder drop. "I mean, sure I wasn't a fan before but now, I am." She smiled, Taehyung grinned showing his teeth as his eyes disappeared.

"Really!? Then who's your favorite?!" He exclaimed. "It's me right!?" Gauravi's eyes widen she looked from him to others.

"Uh-I-"

"As if! I am noona's favorite." Jungkook said huffing.

"Yeah right!" Jimin snorted. "Noona likes me more." Jimin said narrowing his eyes at other.

"It's not like tha-" Gauravi tried to stop them but was cut off.

"Shut up you brat!" Jin scolded. "What are you? Five? Acting like children." Gauravi sighed, feeling thankful for having Jin around times like this. "And why would she like brats like you when she has world wide handsome guy sitting right beside her." He smiled making a proud face.

"Mr. Jin!" Gauravi looked at him in surprised. "You are supposed to stop them from fighting not take part in!" The others laughed at her condition. "Mr. Namjoon help me."

"Sorry, sorry. " Namjoon laughed. "Guys, let's not put Miss Gauravi in difficult position yeah?" Namjoon said smiling while others nodded.

"Thank you." She sighed in relief relaxing.

"Then again, Miss Gauravi-"

"Gauravi is fine." She said smiling at Namjoon.

"Okay, Gauravi, why didn't you say anything about you understanding Korean?"

"Ah well, it didn't matter plus you let your guard down around me because of it. I just look advantage of it." Gauravi shrugged smiling sheepishly.

"Then why did PD-nim say it like that?That you don't understand." Hoseok said.

"He did?" Gauravi furrowed her eyebrows.

"No, he didn't. I remember him saying something along the lines of I could help with translation." Namjoon said nodding his head. "He must be talking about translating you to them. We just assumed you didn't understand."

"Kim Leader can be fooled sometimes too." Jin commented making Namjoon roll his eyes.

"Of course." Namjoon said.

"Noona.." Jungkook called gaining Gauravi's attention who smiled and nodded her head asking him to go on. "What about your job? Didn't you say you would los-"

"Ha! That's nothing." Gauravi stopped him saying any further, waving her hand. Everyone looked at her in silence. "It's nothing." She smiled. They didn't looked convinced but nodded anyway.

"Are you staying for lunch?" Yoongi asked making her snap her head at him.

"Yah Yoonki what are you trying to say?" Jin narrowed his eyes at him. Yoongi looked away realizing that sound wrong.

"Not like that. I mean- stay for lunch." He said looking into her eyes. Gauravi's eyes widen a little, her mouth opened and closed like a fish under water.

"I think that's his way of apologizing." Namjoon said. "You should stay. Hyung's cooking is best after Jin hyung."

"I-I, you really don't have-"

"You like chicken right?" He asked standing up not waiting for her response he turned around and left. "Hyung help me, will you?' He called behind him. Jin nodded and followed behind him.

"I-I-" Gauravi called out trying to say that it was fine they don't have to but words wouldn't come out.

"I am going to help!" Jimin said skipping behind the older ones.

"Me too!" Jungkook exclaimed

"Me three!" The maknae's followed their hyungs like little ducklings.

"I guess, I will follow and stop them before they cause any ruckus." Hoseok said pointing his thumb at them before leaving. Namjoon stood up dusting his pants.

"I will-"

"Mr. Namjoon, a word please." Gauravi said standing up herself. Namjoon stopped and nodded his head settling down again.

"Namjoon is fine." Namjoon said repeating her words making her chuckle. "So what is it?" He asked. Gauravi sobered and serious look replaced her smile. "It was half truth, wasn't it?" He said making her stiffen.

"Yes." She sighed rubbing her temples. "To be honest, I planned on telling the whole truth when I arrived here. But hearing about Mr. Jimin's nightmare and worried look on their faces, I-I couldn't tell them." Gauravi confessed as she looked up at him. He was calmly listening to her. "I fear it would break them but.."

"But you also don't want to keep us in dark." He said completing her sentence. Gauravi sighed nodding again.

"I tried. To warn them softly but the situation is worse than it seems. I thought it would be better to discuss with you rather than other. You seemed to know them and are responsible. So I need your help. Even though I have warned. I want you let them know about the situation in a way that wouldn't break them." Gauravi explained. "The reason your company hired me, is because you've been getting threats. I am sure you know about them." Namjoon nodded his head.

"Yes, they told us that they were baseless and not to worry about them."

"They are not. The incident at hotel was pure accident but at the concert, I can't say same about that." Namjoon looked tensed as he nodded. "I hope you understand the situation. It is not that I am saying you are unprotected. We are always at our toes, guaranteeing that, that would be no repeat of this episode." She said looking into his eyes firmly. The promise in her voice evident. "I just thought you all deserved to know. One can only be truly safe if he is aware of his surroundings."

"I understand." Namjoon said nodding his head. "We trust you." He smiled. Gauravi nodded and smiled back. "So shall we go and see what are they doing in there?" Gauravi nodded aa both of them stood up and made their way to kitchen.

It was total chaos in there. The younger ones were running from one end to other shouting, 'you are doing it wrong' and other one retorting back with 'no! you are doing it wrong'. Jin looked like he was about to explode with all the shouting. He seemed to be trying to manage cooking and handling the younger ones at same time. Hoseok struggled to control them unlike to what he said earlier. The only one who seemed to be really cooking was Yoongi. He calmly cut some onions and stirred something in pot. How does he manage to do that with all the mess happening around him? Gauravi thought staring at him in intrigue. "He looks hot." She muttered staring at him.

"Huh? Did you say something?" Namjoon asked turning towards her. Gauravi bit her lip quickly shook her head. Namjoon nodded and turned back to chaos. "Hyung! Did you need any help?" He asked about to walked in when Hoseok and Jin shouted.

"Not you! You stay away from kitchen!" Namjoon's shoulders dropped as he mumbled a okay and stepped back.

"There, there." Gauravi patted his back comforting him. "I'm not any better than you in stuffs like this."

"Taehyung! Stop! You are just making us do double work!" Jin shouted taking away knife from his hand. "Jimin! Jungkook! Stop fighting!" Jin screamed.

"Do you think this safe?" Gauravi whispered to which Namjoon just chuckled.
