After doing lots of shopping and little bit of exploring delhi street everyone returned home. The sun was warm on their backs, their bags were heavy with street market finds, mall bags, and grocery packets. The house door opened and suddenly it felt like a festival had returned.

Others sat with parents and showed everything what they bought and what things they explored to them with full excitement. Jimin was showing Sana's mom the quirky keychains, Taehyung was modeling the sunglasses, Jungkook was playing a video of CP crowd, Y/N was showing her paintings of the street. Everyone was talking over each other, laughing, pointing.

While suga and sana directly went to kitchen carrying groceries to prepare lunch. No questions, no breaks. Suga took the heavy bags, Sana took the vegetables. Their hands brushed while putting things on the counter and neither of them let go for a second longer than needed.

Sana's mom watched everything. She was standing near the living room, pretending to look at Taehyung's sunglasses. Her eyes soften, and heart melted seeing how beautifully suga is handling everything calmly. He was already tying an apron, checking the onions, asking Sana "yeh kaunse dabbe mein hai?" like he'd lived there for years.

Sana's mom-: (murmured) faltu ka maine apne dono bchcho ko itna preshan krdiya.

Her voice was so low only she could hear it. A quiet regret, a quiet pride.

Others went to change and get fresh and have some rest. Footsteps went up the stairs, doors closed, showers ran. While suga and sana were busy in preparing lunch for everyone. The kitchen became their little world. The sound of chopping, the sizzle of tadka, Sana stirring the dal while Suga rolled out rotis.

He was tired. You could see it in the way he rolled his shoulders, in the faint dark circles under his eyes. But every time Sana looked at him, he smiled like it was nothing. Because Sana is suga's first and only love. He's obsessed with sana, and making food for her family felt like the most important performance of his life.

2 hours later.

Finally lunch was ready. The table was full. Rajma, chawal, aloo gobi, paneer, rotis, salad, and a small bowl of kimchi fried rice Suga made "just in case". Both were too tired and exhausted. Sana's hair was tied up messily, Suga's forehead had a little flour mark. But still they were satisfied with their work. They looked at each other and both smiled, that quiet "we did it" smile.

Then they called everyone.
"Khana lag gaya!"

Soon everyone came and sat on the dinner table. The chairs scraped, the plates clinked. Both served the lunch to everyone. Suga served with both hands, Sana made sure everyone had water. And everyone loved it. They praised them and their food. The first bite was followed by "mmm" and then full sentences.

Namjinhope smiled showing thumbs up. Their satisfied facial expressions were enough to tell how yummy the food was. Namjoon closed his eyes for a second like he was tasting heaven. Jhope nodded vigorously.

Suga's mom-: its delicious.

She said it softly, but her eyes were shining.

Suga's dad just smiled while enjoying the food. He didn't say much, but he took a second helping.

Suga's bhabhi-: best food ever.

Suga's bhaiya-: this is what I need.

He said it between bites, pointing at his plate.

Sana's dad-: shabash bchcho. Bhut acha hai.

Sana's sisters-: yummy. Its so delicious.

Jimin-: yha aakr aapki cooking skill aur zyada achi hogyi hai hyung.

He was talking with his mouth half full, not even caring.

Tae-: Acha hai na. Vaps jb jayenge tb hyung aise hi hmei tasty dishes bnakr khilayenge.

Jungkook-: pr babu. Voh toh hyung aise hi hmei vha roz aise hi tasty dishes bnakr khilate hai.

Tae-: haa shona. Pr ab aur achi dishes bnakr khilayenge.

Jungkook-: mujhe toh pehle hi inke bnayi hui dishes bhut psnd hai. Mai jo bhi bolta hoo suga hyung mujhe hmesha bnakr dete hai. That's why I love him the most. He's my favorite.

Tae-: (pouted) aur Mai. I'm not your favorite. You don't love me.

His lower lip came out instantly.

Jungkook-: suga hyung is my elder brother. So I love him as my elder brother. After all he raised me. But you're my best friend. And we have different kind of bond. Something special. We're soulmates baby, so don't be jealous.

Tae-: tb theek hai. love you shona.

Jungkook-: love you more babu.

Meanwhile jin was giving kookie a death stare as he praised suga and said suga raised him. This made him jealous. His arms were crossed, his eyebrows furrowed. Jimin noticed. He giggled, covering his mouth.

Jimin-: aapko kya hua jin hyung. Aap aise inn dono ko kyu ghur rhe ho?

Jin-: (pouted) Mai kookie se gussa hoo.

Jungkook-: ab kya hogya. Meri kamseen kali ko. (winked teasingly)

Jin-: (pouted) bchpan mei maine tumko paal posskr bada kiya. Roz tumhare liye tasty dishes bnakr khilaye. ekdum apne bchche ke tarah rkha. Aur ab tum iss bille ko sara credit de diye.

Listening this everyone giggled. Sana snorted into her water. Suga tried very hard not to laugh.

Jin-: EHSAAN FARAMOSH.

Made them laugh harder

jungkook-: (teasingly pulling his cheeks) aww meri jinu baby gussa hogyi.

Jin-: (showing fake anger) baat mt kro mujhse. (Pouting) mai tumse gussa hoo.

Then kookie went to him and carried jin in his arms. And started spinning him like a weightless doll. Making jin scream in the fear of he might fall and ruining his wwh face.

Jin-: kookieeaaahh. Chhod mujhe.

Jungkook-: (laughing like a brat) nhi chhodunga. Pehle bolo aap mujhse gussa nhi ho.

Jin-: chhod kookieaah mai bhut maarunga.

Jungkook-: aap nhi maaroge. Mujhe pta hai. Pehle bolo ab aap gussa nhi ho.

Jin-: arey chhodo mai gir jaunga.

Jungkook-: don't worry mai nhi girne dunga. Aap pehle bolo.

Jin-: acha theek hai. Nhi ho tumse gussa. Ab neeche utaro.

Jungkook-: good boy.

Then he put down and made him sit on the chair. Jin took a deep breathe, his hair a mess, his face red.

While everyone was laughing like a hell seeing this drama. Sana was holding her stomach, Sana's sisters were recording.

Namjoon and suga were both done with these 2. Suga just rubbed his temples.

Jin-: jimin meri pink chappal lana toh. Isko kuch ache se smjhana hai.

Jimin happily gave him his pink slipper. Then jin threw one slipper on him but kookie bend while giggling and was safe.

Jungkook-: nice try. Try again.

Then jin threw another one. He again bent and was saved.

Jungkook-: I know your each and every move. Try something new.

Then jin took a stick and went to beat him but kookie hid behind suga giggling.

Jungkook-: (teasing) ab maar ke dikhao. Suga hyung never scold me. But he will definitely scold you. Because you're hurting his baby.

Suga-: hyung grow up. Go and finish your lunch.

Listening this jin put stick down and sat silently eating his lunch. Making others giggle. He was still pouting, but now with a mouth full of rajma.

Suga-: kookie. Go and finish your lunch then I'll give you your favorite banana milk.

This made kookie happy. His eyes lit up immediately.

Jungkook-: (hugging) you're the best. Love you hyung.

Suga smiled and hugged him back. Making others heart melt. It was warm, brotherly, safe. Both parents were smiling seeing their strong bond this melted their heart and smiles were clearly visible on their faces. Sana's mom looked at Sana, and Sana looked at her, and for the first time there was no tension in that look.

Then everyone finally finished their lunch. Plates were empty, stomachs were full. Sana's mom told sana and suga to take some rest as dishes will be washed by their househelps.

Sana's mom: tum dono jao. Aaraam karo. Yeh house help krlegi....

Then everyone went in their rooms to take some rest. The house finally quieted down.

In the guest room, Suga collapsed on the bed and Sana lay beside him, her head on his chest. His arm was around her, heavy and safe.

Suga whispered in English, barely audible: Sana... today this felt like home."

Sana, half asleep, replied in English with a little Hindi mixed in: "Because it is home now. With you."

Outside, Delhi's afternoon sun was bright. Inside, two hearts that had been scared yesterday were finally, completely at peace.
