“Nia, guess what!  I found him!” Moon exclaimed as she sat down at the table Nia had snagged.

“Found who?”

“Jin!”

“How?  Didn’t you just start looking for him?”

“Well, it turned out to be a little easier than I thought it would be.  He’s a voice actor for animated shows.  I found his Twitter account.”

“What, did you just spend the whole day on the Twitter search engine yesterday?”

Moon shrugged. “My shoot was cancelled due to some cross booking, so yes.”

“Are you going to tell Hyuna?”

“Nah.  I’m gonna talk to him first.  See what his deal is.  Shouldn’t be too hard.”

“Good luck with that,” Nia laughed.

“Nia!”

Nia looked up from her pile of papers just in time to see Sua run through the door.  She’d had just gotten back from her appointment.

“What is it?  Is something wrong?”

“It’s triplets.”

Nia stared at her in shock for a moment. “Triplets??  Are you serious?”

Sua nodded. “What am I gonna do?  I can’t raise triplets!”

“Why not?”

“Well…what about my job?  There’s no way I can find someone who will want to watch triplets!”

“You could always quit, I guess.”

“But I like my job!”

Nia shrugged. “Don’t you want to raise your kids?”

“I guess.  But I’ll miss you guys.  And raising three kids is going to be…hard.”

“Well, you have lots of time to think about it.  You don’t have to make a decision right now.”

Sua nodded. “I just can’t believe it’s triplets!”

Nia came home late that night after another dinner with the girls.  They’d been out late, and it was now nearing nine.  Nia walked through the living room.  It was eerily quiet in the house.  The lights were dimmed, and the kitchen was empty.  Had Taehyung gone to sleep already?

Nia walked down the hall and peeked into his room.  But it was also empty.  She sighed and headed to her room, where she found the door closed.  Strange.  She could’ve sworn she’d left it open.  She opened it and cautiously stepped inside.  She gasped.

Taehyung was sound asleep under her covers.  Yeontan was asleep at the foot of the bed.  Why had he chosen to sleep in here?  He, of course, had a room and a bed of his own.  She walked over to the bed and stared down at him.  His hair was tousled, nearly all covering his face.  His golden honey-colored skin was glowing in the dim lights of her room.  She smiled.  Maybe it wasn’t so bad that he’d chosen to sleep in her bed tonight.

She remembered in the past when they’d shared a bed that he’d liked to cuddle her.  He’d told her it helped him sleep better.  A few months ago, he’d admitted to her that he’d had trouble sleeping after she’d left him.  She reached up and brushed her hand through his hair.  A soft smile spread across his face.

Moments like this made her realize how glad she was that she’d found him again.  Sure, Hobi had been great.  But she’d never been in love with him.  It was definitely different with Taehyung.  Whenever she was around him, she just felt warm.  It was the best feeling on the planet, as far as she was concerned.  Maybe she should consider his suggestion to elope.
