             A sea of school uniforms pour out of a nearby high school and litter the streets of Seoul. The sound of laughter and cellphones ringing penetrate through the deep seeded focus planted by RapMon from up above. His body trembles lightly while his red converse sneakers teeter on the ledge of the rooftop. His eyes focused on a sheet of paper in his hands, he ignores the commotion from down below.            His eyes scan the sheet from top to bottom. He observes the letter grade which reads "A+" on the top right hand corner of the test paper. Fingertips glide across and mirror each other from opposite ends just before he pulls them apart splitting it in half. The repeated action breaks apart the paper into several tiny pieces which lay dormant in his tightly clutched fists.           A light sigh escapes his body while his head raises upward to face the brightly lit sky. He raises his hands and then opens them allowing the oncoming gust of wind to blow the several tiny pieces of paper out of his hands and all around as if they were snowflakes descending down onto those beneath his feet. The students begin to curiously look around until their sights fall on him, up above on the ledge of the roof.            Jungkook: "...hyung."               Slowly, his head lowers, and his body turns slightly. His eyes begin to widen as the sight of Jungkook standing there on the rooftop causes him to turn completely, in order to face him. With his hands digging deep into his pockets, he rocks back and forth from heel to toe, a soft smile growing.    Rap Monster: "Why -- why are you here?"   Jungkook: "To stop you -- "   Rap Monster: "well you can go home now -- I definitely don't need your help..."   Jungkook: "hyung..."   Rap Monster: "Just -- stop it!"               Angrily he stomps his foot down, the force causing him to teeter, and shake his balance. The jeering of the crowd down below grows louder as they watch the young man balance himself on the roofs ledge. He begins to turn his attention to them but stops per request of Jungkook.    Jungkook: "...Please -- ...don't."   Rap Monster: "don't what?"   Jungkook: "don't -- turn around -- ...please."                His voice cracking at the tail end of his speech. His hands retracting from his pockets, and his footsteps pulling him closer to RapMon. The look of concern dripping down his face, peeks his interest. Once again he attempts to turn but the tugging on the right leg of his pants brings him to a screeching halt.    Jungkook: "Namjoon hyung -- please -- don't turn around. Just come down, come to me -- please..."   Rap Monster: "Jungkook... What's going on?"           Now concerned himself, he motions forward, stepping off of the ledge, now standing face to face with the maknae. Jungkook lowers his head, and RapMon just stares at him, watching a tear roll off of his chin, hitting against the graveled floor beneath their feet.    Rap Monster: "Jungkook..."               His own voice mimicking Jungkooks own shakey tone. His arms stretch forth, and his hands latch onto his thin arms. Pulling him into him, Jungkook's forehead digs into RapMon's chest in it's still lowered position.   Rap Monster: "What's going on? -- speak to me -- "   Jungkook: "just don't look back hyung... -- don't look back."               The roaring crowd down below has ominously gone quiet. RapMon faces straight ahead, his eyes lowering slowly, and falling on the back of Jungkooks head. With his hands still clutching Jungkooks arms he gently pushes him away. With his head refusing to raise, his sniveling is all that can be heard amongst the deafening silence which has blanketed the area.             One after the other, RapMon's feet edge backward, until hitting the rooftops ledge once again. Jungkook slowly raises his head, his eyes filled with tears, the words "no" continuously mouthed by him. For a brief moment he simply stands there before reluctantly turning his attention away from him, his body following soon after, the ledge now placed directly in front of him.             Gradually, his right foot raises, only to plant itself upon the ledge. He inhales deeply, exhaling soon after placing his left foot beside its counterpart. Jungkook's sniveling playing in the background as RapMon simply states straight ahead at the cities skyline. With his hands resting at his side, slowly, he looks down, a single person stands there where once an entire school of children once stood.              His bottom lip quivers, as the familiarity of the mans leather jacket causes him to become stricken with panic. His racing heart beats harshly against his own chest, as his body soon follows his quivering lip, trembling entirely as he just continues to stare at the man who's head has yet to rise from its lowered position.    Rap Monster: "Hu-hu-Hunchul?"             He shakily says under his breath, as the beads of sweat building within the corners of his hairline begin to roll down the surface of his pale skin. His wriggling fingers collapse into his hands, massaging the innards of his now clammy palms.  Slowly, the man below begins to raise his attention, the sneer stretching across his face is met by a expressed look of shock as Iron reveals himself to RapMon.            The thunderous sound of  a passing car horn startles him, his balance compromised once again. Turning on the heels of his shoes, he spins around, Jungkook no longer there behind him. He yelps out quite loudly before the entire weight of his own body pulls him down and off of the roof. With flailing arms, he turns back just in time for his body to come in contact with the ground just before he smacks right into it.            Abruptly, RapMon is propelled straight out of his  dream like state and right back to where he had nodded off. His heart still racing, and his clammy hands remains whilst he adjusts himself in his seated position upon the bus he is currently riding. He looks around, the old woman and small child being held tightly by her stare at him cautiously, as he nervously waves back at them, an awkward smile accompanying his movement.    J-Hope: "Jungkook, do we need any milk?"                He stands there, Jungkook staring off into the distance quite blankly, his lips slightly parted. J-Hope laughs softly, extending his hand forward, and snapping his fingers beside his ear. The sound, startles him, and forces him to turn and face J-Hope, who greets him With an airy chuckle.    Jungkook: "huh?!"   J-Hope: "anybody home?"   Jungkook: "heh -- sorry."   J-Hope: "I was speaking to you and you were just staring off into space."   Jungkook: "I'm sorry hyung. What did you ask me?"   J-Hope: "I just wanted to know if we needed any milk."   Jungkook: "Uh --"    J-Hope: "it should be on the list!"   Jungkook: "uh -- "              He crouches down, the plastic green basket in his hands is placed on the ground. He raises his pant leg and reaches into sock where he conveniently tucked away the grocery list. He proceeds to unfold the yellow sheet of paper, while reaching out for the basket then standing upright. His eyes survey the list and he nods cheerily, before returning his attention back to J-Hope.   Jungkook: "yes hyung!"             J-Hope, who had been watching him the entire time, a brow whilst reaching into the large freezer beside him, and grabbing a carton of milk.    J-Hope: "don't you have any pockets?"   Jungkook: "yes hyung -- but when I dig into them, I always drop things. So when I don't want to lose things I stick them In my sock."   J-Hope: "ah -- "             He laughs softly, placing the milk inside the basket being held by Jungkook. The weight of it pulling down on his arm slightly, which forces him to now use both hands to hold the basket.    Jungkook: "I'm surprised you asked me to come with you to do the grocery shopping. You usually ask Jin hyung to come with you."   J-Hope: "yeah, I know. I just thought that maybe you could use the fresh air. We've all been working so hard lately -- "   Jungkook: "yeah, I don't even remember the last time we had time to do anything we actually wanted."   J-Hope: "you have been getting enough sleep though, right?"   Jungkook: "yes hyung."   J-Hope: "good."               Silently, the two make their rounds throughout the supermarket, gathering all of the items of which were written on the list. J-Hope continues to look at Jungkook, stealing glances whenever he can, observing the rather aloof and somewhat vacant look being expressed by him the entire time.    J-Hope: "...Jungkook."            From behind, he watches Jungkook walk onward, swinging the basket about, once again ignoring him as he calls out to him. He shakes his head lightly, stepping forth himself and placing a hand on Jungkooks shoulder, drawing his attention once again.   Jungkook: "huh?"   J-Hope: "hey! -- what's with you these days?"   Jungkook: "w-what do you mean?"   J-Hope: "You've been all wishey-washy these days. Not all there -- off in dream land -- it's almost as if -- "   Jungkook: "almost as if... what?"               With a widened, toothy expression, he lunges forward, playfully punching Jungkook on his arm.   J-Hope: "you're in love aren't you?!"             Jungkook's eyes widen, his grasp on the basket tightens, a nervous hint of laughter escaping him.    Jungkook: "w-w-what would make you think that hyung?"   J-Hope: "it's pretty obvious now that I think about it. I mean -- we have promoted alongside some very pretty girls -- so... -- who is it?!"   Jungkook: "heh... -- nobody hyung."   J-Hope: "Come on -- you know that you can tell me anything."              His head lowers, his bangs falling over, now completely concealing his eyes. His cheeks flushed, the pink tint quite visible once his head raises.    J-Hope: "I knew it! -- I am right, aren't I?"   Jungkook: "w-w -- "   J-Hope: "well, if it isn't love then it must be that you're ill. Are you Ill Jungkook? -- do we need to go to q doctor or something?"   Jungkook: "no hyung... -- I'm not ill..."   J-Hope: "then I'm right aren't i? -- it's love, isn't it?"            Without saying a word, the expression in his eyes says it all. J-Hope steps closer to the maknae, playfully bumping shoulders with him, bringing forth a pair of soft smiles between the two.    J-Hope: "Awww! Who would've thought, our little Kookie would find love -- and at such a young age."   Jungkook: "hyung, I'm not even really sure if it is love."   J-Hope: "but you are interested in someone?"   Jungkook: "I guess you could say that."             Quite excited by the news, he reaches out and grabs a hold of the basket, snatching it out of Jungkooks hands. The two walk side by side, drawing closer to the cash register at the stores front.    J-Hope: "so, tell me about her. Is she beautiful? -- what am I saying? -- she must be -- "              With the basket placed beside the register, one by one he proceeds to place each item from within it onto the conveyor belt.    Jungkook: "uh... She definitely has looks. I find her to be the most beautiful person that I've ever met. Inside and out."   J-Hope: "ah! -- young love! So tell me more."              Jungkook, raises his hand in order to mask his laughter as the thought of a female RapMon crosses his mind.    Jungkook: "uh... She's pretty tall, very, very smart, and older -- "   J-Hope: "older?! -- wo-O-oah!"   Jungkook: "yeah, but she doesn't treat me like a kid. She sees me, for me."   J-Hope: "you know, you and Namjoon really do remind me so much of each other. I feel like he was your same age when he -- "             With the last item in hand, the uncanny similarities between the two begin to flash across his mind. The image of Jungkook roughhousing on the beach with RapMon are triggered, only to be replaced by the similar behavior displayed by RapMon and Iron. Slowly, he looks toward Jungkook and raises a brow.    Cashier: "Sir, are you going to purchase that item?"            J-Hope shakes his head, blinking his eyes repeatedly, before shaking off the odd feeling which has befallen him. His hand lowers, his attention returning to the cashier as he places the final item down on the conveyor belt.    Jungkook: "Hyung? Is everything alright?"              With his face glued to the scenery which continues to pass him by, he quietly sits there on the bus. RapMon reaches into his pocket, and pulls out his cellphone. He stares down, the blank screen glowing with light as he presses the menu button with his thumb. He proceeds to flip through the pictures aimlessly, stopping on a photo of he and Iron taken while he was still signed to the company. He tilts his head slightly, resting it against the window, feeling the vibrations of it pulsating throughout his entire body as he begins to remember the events which led to the picture being taken.   Iron: "Donghyuk! Take a picture! --hurry!"   Rap Monster: "No! -- don't!"             He struggles to move from beneath the heap of sand layered atop his extremely thin frame. His head wobbles from side to side as it is the only part of his body peeking out from beneath it. The shape of the mermaid created in the sand, gives the illusion that it is in fact his body. The large cone shaped protruding add the cherry on top, as Iron can't help but laugh aloud at RapMons embarrassment.    Rap Monster: "don't do this to me hyung!!!"            Supreme Boi laughs to himself before rushing off toward their blanket, which sits off in the distance and houses everyone's belongings. As he makes his way toward it, the sand beneath his feet flies about in every which direction. Panting lightly, he reaches his destination, and begins to rummage through the belongings placed atop the blanket.    Supreme Boi: "aish! -- where the hell are you camera?"             He says aloud as he continues to rifle through each bag there. Approaching the blanket himself, with a cocked brow, J-Hope monitors Supreme Boi's frantic behavior. A slight smirk stretching across his face as he listens to him speak to himself in fustration.    J-Hope: "what're you looking for?"   Supreme Boi: "yah! -- don't creep up on me like that!"   J-Hope: "ha -- didn't mean to scare you -- "   Supreme Boi: "hey -- do you know where we put the camera?"   J-Hope: "camera? -- we brought a camera?"            Supreme Boi stops suddenly, slowly turning his attention back toward J-Hope who is simply standing there behind him.    Supreme Boi: "didn't we?"   J-Hope: "don't we all have cameras on our phones?"               Supreme Boi shakes his head lightly, smacking the front of it with the palm of his hand. Slowly he lowers it, whilst sitting upright on his knee caps. He sighs softly, squinting slightly as he stares up at J-Hope, the sun only somewhat blocked by him.    Supreme Boi: "when Hunchul hyung told me to hurry and take a picture I just assumed -- "             J-Hope laughs softly, his hand raising in order to keep it hidden from an obviously embarrassed Supreme Boi.    J- Hope: "it's okay."   Supreme Boi: "heh... So uh... Why aren't you in the water with the others?"   J-Hope: "I like to plan ahead, and I know that we are leaving soon, so I'm trying to dry off as much as possible

Chapter 28: Good chapter I hope Jin does get over Namjoon and I hope Taehyung gets over Jungkook and Jungkook gets over Taehyung. And Namjoon over Jin. But the story is too complicated to even go in that route. But I want to know about Hoseok... Is Jimin the one he likes? Of course I have to wait for that answer. I enjoyed this chapter who you update soon.

Chapter 23: Ok what the heck just happened? Like I'm so proud of Namjoon and then the ending makes we want to rush to the last chapter like. This is the most realistic story I have read and I will read more of your stories for the realism that I've found in your writing. The raw emotions are awestickening; you're probably the second writer I've came across with such rawness when writing about relationships. Reading this I can feel the ups and downs all the emotions from the characters. This story is amazing. I came for Kookiemonster not this assortment of feels but in still enjoying all the pairings!

Chapter 25: A date? A DATE??? OH HELL NAH HAHAHA No but seriously good job you always manage to keep me on my toes! When I think You'll go right you suddenly throw a perfect curveball which makes this infuriating but really interesting and worth keeping an eye on. On a side note I still ship Namjin with my whole soul! I'll seriously go down with this ship. Keep it up author nim ;)

Chapter 25: I had free time today and decided to catch up with this story, and lord am i left with major feels!!! And I am so bloody divided between Kookiemon and Namjin, WHHHHY!! As much as I would love for Kookiemon to be an item....there is just too much tension and chemistry going on between Namjin. And I'll defintely be on the sideline rooting for Vkook, my poor poor V's heart ;o .
On a side note, I wonder what Hunchul and J-hope pairing would be like.. I mean the fact that they have so much hatred for each other, imagine if that turns into love -- i want front row sit for that!
Anywho, thanks so much for the update authornim! This story is slap my feels around in every which way! Looking forward to the next update! FIGHTING!!

Chapter 24: Ahhh this is killing me.....ahah I'm really going for Kookiemon. Namjin is so cute but it seems to unexpected and it would be so cool if kidoh was around for Jin that would be so interesting.....ahhh vkook ahhh adorable but id like to see their character develop more ahah same with jungkooks and namjoons it would be really cool if they saw their similarities and unnf its so goood >< but I expected the kiss with vkook that rap monster would react differently kinda like how he did with hunchul......ahah maybe he's just matured differently

Chapter 24: Kookiemonster is cute and all but Vkook and Namjin suit more and if not Namjin then Iron and Namjoon together even though Iron can't treat my baby the best Namjoon still loves him while Jin is taking care of Namjoon so well with him not knowing that Jungkook could soon be the problem of Namjoon's heart break if Vkook continues to be close
