Bonding Time

Split In Half

Jungkook rolled over in his bed, reaching over to grab his phone off of his bedside table. He brought the phone to life, the bright light of the screen making him squint his eyes. He looked at the time and groaned, placing his phone back on the table and dropping his face onto his pillow.

A loud knock from the door caused him to lift his head back up. 

"Daehyun-ah! Wake up!!" Jungkook looked across the room towards his roommate, noticing the other boy rolling around his bed while bringing a pillow over his head. 

Jungkook sighed and rolled over to face the wall, closing his eyes and trying his best to ignore the loud knocks for Daehyun.

"Yah! Jung Daehyun! If you don't wake the up and let me in, I will break this door down!" The boy on the other side of the door threatened, his knocks becoming harder.

Jungkook looked over his shoulder to glare at Daehyun. "Please open the door and tell your friend to shut the up because I'm trying to sleep."

Daehyun let out a loud groan, cursing under his breath as he threw his pillow away and stood up from the bed. He stomped over to the door, an annoyed look on his face. He swung the door open and came face to face with a furious Youngjae.

Daehyun had a calm expression on his face as his eyes were still half asleep. "My roommate is trying to sleep so please shut the up." He simply said before letting out a long yawn and moving to close the door.

Youngjae's face hardened as he stopped the door with his foot, side punching the door to fully open and grabbing his boyfriend by the ear. "What did you say to me?"

Daehyun winced in pain, slightly bending his knees from the sudden pain he was feeling. "I love you!" He squealed when Youngjae pinched and pulled onto his ear harder. 

"That's what I thought." Youngjae pushed him away and strode into the room, meeting eyes with Jungkook and moving to sit on his boyfriend's bed. "I'm sorry for being so loud." Youngjae spoke rather strongly so it didn't sound as apologetic and sincere as he wanted.

"You shouldn't be so loud." Jungkook replied with a slight bitter tone to his voice. "It's only 10:00 am on a Saturday morning."

"It's only 10:00 am?" Youngjae was taken aback. "Only?" 

Jungkook glanced towards a yawning Daehyun who was leaning against the wall before returning his gaze back to Youngjae. "Why do you think we get along so well as roommates?"

Daehyun nodded in agreement, a light chuckle escaping his lips until he saw the slight glare Youngjae was directing at him, making him shut his mouth. 

"Weren't you the one who told me that we were eating breakfast together today?" Youngjae crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes at Daehyun. "Weren't you the one who told me to wake up early?" He added, emphasizing the word 'you'

Daehyun rubbed the back of his neck nervously and opened his mouth to say the best excuse he could think of when a pillow hit him square in the face. He looked at Youngjae, seeing the angry pout on his boyfriend's face. 

"I didn't get to sleep in either because of you so stop looking so dead and get ready before I beat you up!" Youngjae warned and stood up from his bed, walking towards the door but looking over his shoulder at Jungkook one last time. "Sorry again for waking you up." He spoke more softly this time, flashing Jungkook a small smile. He turned to look at Daehyun. "Meet me in the cafeteria in 15 minutes or else." He said and continued to walk out the room, shutting the door behind him.

Daehyun slightly glanced at Jungkook with an embarrassed expression on his face.

Jungkook sighed. "Don't worry. If I had a boyfriend like that, I would be scared too." He said truthfully. 

Daehyun smiled at Jungkook's comment before walking over to his closet, grabbing a pair of new clothes and his towel. "I know my boyfriend took all your attention but I noticed your phone lighting up a few times when you two were talking." He said and walked into the bathroom to begin getting ready. 

Jungkook looked towards his phone, grabbing it and opening it to see two new messages; one from V and one from an unknown number. 

'Yah! Jeon Jungkook! I thought we were eating breakfast together today?! Where the are you! Hurry the up before I eat without you!'

Jungkook rolled his eyes, picturing the annoyed look that V probably had on his face when sending the message. He typed out a quick reply, stating that he was awake and will meet him in the cafeteria in exactly thirty minutes. 

Jungkook opened the message from the unknown number, his eyebrow raising in confusion when he read the message. 

'Do you believe in ghosts?'

"What the ..." He whispered, reading the message over again to see if there could be a different meaning to it than what it already says.

Jungkook sighed and decided to ignore the message, deleting it and taking his phone off silent before placing it back on his bedside table. He stood up and went towards his closet, planning to get a set of new clothes ready so that he wouldn't have to rush later on once it was his turn to take a shower. 

*Ding.*

Jungkook looked over his shoulder at his phone, noticing that the screen was lit up. He slammed his closet shut and threw his clothes on his bed, moving over to grab his phone. The same unknown number sent him a new message, causing for Jungkook to grow curious. He opened the message and read it. 

'Do you believe in ghosts?'

"Who the are you?" Jungkook could feel himself getting both annoyed and angry. 

Jungkook isn't really afraid of ghosts or horror movies. Actually, he was really interested in them. What was throwing him off at the unknown messages from the stranger was that the person was totally playing around with him, which he never let anyone do.

"If this is Taehyung, I'm going to kick him in the later." Jungkook glared at his phone, deleting and ignoring the message again. 

*Ding.*

Another message came in. 

'Do you believe in ghosts?' 

Jungkook gripped onto his phone tightly, deleting the message right away and throwing his phone back down on his bed while keeping his eyes fixed on it.

"I don't believe in ghosts." He said to no one in particular, suddenly feeling the air around him turn tense for some reason. 

*Ding.*

Jungkook clenched his hands into fists, contemplating whether or not he should read the new message which he knew was probably from the unknown number again. He assumed that it was probably the same exact message the person had been sending for the past five minutes but he couldn't stop himself from being curious again.

Jungkook took a deep breath and grabbed his phone, seeing that he was right about it being a message from the unknown number; but he was wrong about it being the same message.

'You should.'

Jungkook froze in place., blinking at his phone. *Did this person just reply to what I said earlier?* He thought, indicating to how he had said that he doesn't believe it ghosts. 

"Jungkook."

Jungkook looked over his shoulder, his eyes meeting with Daehyun. 

Daehyun was drying his hair with his towel while pointing at the bathroom with his free hand. "You can take a shower now." He stated, directing a warm smile at Jungkook before walking past the other and towards his desk. 

"Oh..." Jungkook quietly let out, slowly looking back down at his phone and snapping out of his thoughts. "Okay." He said, holding onto his phone tightly, grabbing his clothes and walking into the bathroom as calmly as he could.

He could feel Daehyun's gaze on his back. "Are you okay?" His roommate spoke with a concerned tone.

Jungkook glanced over his shoulder at Daehyun, smiling at the other boy. "Yeah. I'm okay." He replied, noticing the confused look on Daehyun's face before he fully closed the bathroom door. 

The whole time he was in the shower, Jungkook's mind was fixed on nothing but the messages. He thought that it was probably a student just performing a prank on him, but he couldn't think of anyone who would play a prank on him since no one would even dare to think of doing that to him. Not only were people scared of him because of the fact that he can fight, but from what he knows, no one hated him. So who would do something like this?

After getting ready and finding that Daehyun had already left, Jungkook also quickly left their dorm without bothering to dry his hair. Besides, V was probably already waiting impatiently for him at the cafeteria; and he was right since the first thing he saw once he stepped into the cafeteria was V sitting at a table. What surprised Jungkook was that he wasn't sitting alone.

"Hey Jungkook!" Jimin greeted him when he moved to stand beside the table. 

"Hi." He smiled widely at Jimin, looking towards Youngjae and Daehyun and saw acknowledging smiles on their faces as well. 

"Thanks for making me wait forever for you to finish getting ready. I should've just started eating without you." V complained, pulling out the chair beside him and forcing Jungkook to sit down on it. 

Jungkook glared at V in return. "I didn't take that long and I didn't ask for you to wait for me either. If you want to eat, then go eat. I really don't give a ." 

V's eyes widened from anger. "You little fu--"

"Okay!" Daehyun spoke up, pushing his chair back as he stood up. "Why don't you come and get food with me V?" He suggested, looking between the two boys who looked like they're ready to start fighting.

V kept his glare fixed on Jungkook. "Sure. I could use some food right now or I might just kill someone from hunger." He said in a strong voice, standing up from his seat harshly before slipping his hands into his pockets and walking ahead of Daehyun towards the food area.

Jungkook sighed, feeling guilty about how rude he had spoken. He didn't mean to sound as rude as he did, but it just came out that way especially since he was so caught up on the weird messages he had received earlier. Also, he just got so used to speaking to V in a mean manner that he forgets about how much he really cares about the other boy now. Old habits seem to die hard when it comes to him and V. 

"Are you okay Jungkook?" Jimin asked, looking at him with worried eyes. 

Jungkook softened and he nodded, forcing a small smile to form on his lips. "I'm okay. Don't worry about it."

Jimin glanced towards Youngjae, the two of them exchanging a look before moving their attention back to Jungkook. 

Jungkook let his eyes wander around their table, noticing the unfamiliar phone in front of Jimin. "You got a new phone?" He asked, looking at the excited smile that grew on Jimin's face.

"Yeah! Kikwang hyung got me a new phone!" Jimin exclaimed, moving over to sit in the seat that V was occupying and leaning closer to Jungkook. "V already gave me your number earlier so can I have your phone? I want to save my number in it." He asked.

Jungkook quickly nodded his head. "Of course." He said, reaching into his pocket and grabbing his phone, placing it in Jimin's open hand.

Jimin focused his eyes on the screen as he saved his number on Jungkook's phone under the name 'Jiminnie'. He smiled and handed the phone back to Jungkook. 

"There you go! We can be text buddies now!" Jimin happily stated, slightly shoving Jungkook on the shoulder before moving back to his own seat. 

Jungkook chuckled and looked down at his phone, planning to look at Jimin's number to memorize it when a loud slam on the table surprised him. He looked to his right and noticed that it was one of his classmates.

"What the ." Youngjae cursed with a hand over his beating heart, placing his phone on the table. "What is wrong with you Barom? Don't randomly slam your hand on tables where the people sitting are obviously not paying attention to you."

Rome smirked playfully at them. "Sorry. Did I scare you guys?" 

Jungkook looked away and slipped his phone back into his pocket. He noticed V and Daehyun walking back towards them, each of them holding a tray of food. 

"Not really." Jimin replied, directing a small smile towards Rome. "Just a little surprised." 

"We brought food!" Daehyun happily chanted when he and V reached the table, the two of them sitting in their respected seats. "We both made sure to bring extra food for you guys." He added, placing a plate of fruits in front of Youngjae.

Youngjae stared down at the healthy plate. "Why the do I get fruits while you get rice and desserts?" He asked and glanced at the different varieties of food Daehyun had in front of him.

Daehyun blinked at Youngjae. "I thought you were on a diet?"

Youngjae slapped him on the arm. "You !" 

"I'm sorry!" Daehyun nervously said, pushing the plate of fruits away and placing a slice of cheesecake in front of Youngjae instead. "Who said you needed to go on a diet anyway? You're already beautiful the way you are." Daehyun sweetly said, leaning his face close to Youngjae's.

Youngjae glared at him. " you." 

Daehyun pouted. 

"Here. I got you some food too." V stated, placing a plate of food in front of Jungkook before turning to look at Jimin with a cute smile. "I got some for you too Jimin." V slowly slid a plate of food in front of him as well.

Jimin glanced down at the plate and smiled at V. "Thank you Taehyung."

"I can see all the love around this table." Rome smiled, slipping into the empty seat beside Daehyun. 

Jungkook and V glanced at the oblivious Jimin, a slight shade of pink forming on their cheeks. 

Daehyun looked at Rome in confusion. "Why are you here?" He asked.

Rome smirked. "I just wanted to tell you guys something."

Jungkook raised an eyebrow at him, his interest going up again. "Tell us what?"

"Yu Barom!" A student walked up to stand behind Rome with an angry look on his face. "What the is taking you so long? We have to go now or we won't get there in time!" 

"Go where?" V asked, shoving a spoonful of rice in his mouth. 

Rome rolled his eyes and leaned his elbows on the table. "Calm down Jun. I just wanted to ask if the other people from our class wanted to come as well." 

Kangjun sighed and looked around the table, meeting eyes with all of the boys. "Do you guys want to come with the rest of our homeroom?"

"Where?" Jimin asked, leaning forward in interest.

Rome smirked at them. "To the haunted house."

"Haunted house?" Youngjae asked, glancing at Daehyun before moving his attention back to Rome. "What haunted house?"

"There's an abandoned circus a few hours away from Seoul and apparently, there's a story that goes along with the haunted house there." Kangjun explained, causing for the boys around the table to slowly get excited. "A few boys from another school told us that on this very day, at exactly 11:00 pm at night, ghosts actually come out and hide in that haunted house. We want to go there and check it out." 

"Wah!" Jimin's eyes gleamed with interest. "I want to go!"

"Wait." Jungkook spoke up, his eyes fixed on Jimin. "Are you sure you want to go?"

Jimin frantically nodded. "Of course!"

Jungkook felt a hesitant feeling run through him. He wasn't scared or anything, and he knew nothing bad would happen especially since they would be going there in a big group, but Jimin wasn't very strong when it came to ghosts and things related to that. When they had watched a horror movie a few months ago, Jimin was so scared that he had nightmares for a whole week. But who knew? Maybe Jimin isn't the same as before and after the amnesia, he probably isn't as scared.

"Why?" Jimin smirked at Jungkook. "Are you scared Jeon Jungkook?" 

Jungkook scoffed in reply. "I'm not scared of ghosts." 

Jimin clapped his hand, a wide smile on his face. "Then let's go!"

Jungkook bit his bottom lip, the thought of Jimin being easily scared still bothering him. 

"We should go." V whispered to him, but he could hear the hesitation in the other's voice. 

Just like Jimin, V wasn't very fond of ghosts and horror as well, but Jungkook knew that V would do anything for Jimin. Since Jimin seemed so excited about the idea of the haunted house, he and V would go along with it since Jimin would be happy. 

Jungkook took a deep breath and nodded. "Okay. We're in."

Youngjae and Daehyun also nodded at Rome. "We're in too." Youngjae stated with a smirk on his face. 

Rome smiled and nodded at them ."Let's go then. It's almost 11:00 am and it's a really long drive from here. We're probably going to stop a few times along the way so we should get going." 

"Who's going anyway?" Daehyun asked when a huge noise erupted from the entrance of the cafeteria.

"Yah! Are we going or what?" Sungjae yelled out excitedly, a group of boys following after him as they all walked towards the table. 

Jungkook looked at the students and noticed that all of them were from his homeroom class. There was Sungjae, Ilhoon, JB, Junior, Hyuk, Hongbin, FeelDog, Baram, Xiumin, and Chanyeol. 

Rome nodded. "We're going." He said when all the boys stood around the table. 

"Oh yeah!" V said, pushing away his empty plate. "How are we getting there?" He asked before taking a sip of his water.

Jungkook gawked at the empty plate of food, amazed at how fast V could eat. 

"Me and Baram are the drivers." Xiumin stated, a small smile on his face as he slipped his hands into his pockets.

"You guys don't have to worry about anything." Kangjun added, slamming his hand down on Rome's shoulders. "Now let's go because time is ticking and we really need to get there before 11:00 pm." 

"Wait!" Jimin spoke up, stopping the boys from getting ready to stand up. "If we're going to be there at 11:00 pm, are we going to drive back to the school once we're done there?" 

Kangjun shook his head. "We're going to stay there for the night. You know, camp out at the park beside the circus. Some boys gave that information too." 

"You guys ask a lot of questions." Rome commented, standing up and straightening out his clothes. "You guys still need to go and get a change of clothes so we really should get going. Now do any of you kids have any last minute questions?" He asked teasingly.

"We're just trying to make sure everything is planned properly." Youngjae stated in a strong voice, also standing up from his seat.

Kangjun smiled. "Don't worry. We already planned everything early. We made sure that there is no school tomorrow, that we have two vans, we have a few stops along the way, and we have a tent to sleep in. We've got it all covered so you guys should just calm down and come." 

"What made you guys want to go together anyway?" V asked, looking around at all the boys. 

The boys around the table all looked at each other before returning their attention to V.

"We all should have a little field trip as a homeroom class right?" Hongbin spoke up, his dimple coming out as he smiled. "And what's a better way to bond than this?" 

"Let's go then." Rome quickly said, slapping his hands together before wrapping an arm around Kangjun's shoulder and leading the way.

Jungkook stood up and pushed his chair in, letting his mind wander back to the messages he had received before. The messages were also connected to ghosts and he couldn't help but feel as if the haunted house was also a part of it. He had an uneasy feeling in his stomach but the excitement and interest was already overpowering it. He sighed and slipped his hand into his pocket, placing his phone into his hand. *It's probably not connected.* He thought, trying to convince himself that the messages he received was not connected to the haunted house they were going to. *Ghosts aren't real.*

"Let's go Jungkook." V's voice snapped him back to reality. 

Jungkook looked up and his eyes landed on Jimin's back, noticing that his lover and all of the other boys were already walking out of the cafeteria excitedly. He looked at V and saw the small smile on his face.

Jungkook returned the smile, slipping his hand into V's. "Let's go." 

V's smile widened and he gave Jungkook's hand a small squeeze before they both began to go after the others. 

Jungkook took a deep breath and focused on how his hand was intertwined with V's, letting the thought calm him down as the uneasy feeling slowly went away. 

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

A little homeroom boys note for you guys since some of you may not know who some of them are;

Sungjae and Ilhoon [BTOB], JB and Junior [GOT7], Hyuk and Hongbin [VIXX], FeelDog and Baram [BIG STAR], Xiumin and Chanyeol [EXO], Rome and Kangjun [C-CLOWN]. 

Notice how they all come in pairs and are from the 2012 debut groups? Yeah. I'm not making a pattern or anything. Seriously. It's just whatever.

This little note is not supposed to mean anything bad or anything. I just wanted to clarify who the boys are.

Anyways, do any of you believe in ghosts?
