Chapter 5
The Transfer Student[After dinner, everyone gathered in the living room to play games.]
Namjoon: We're starting with "Uno." Who doesn't know how to play or needs a refresher on how to play?
Jungkook: *raises his hand* I don't know how to play
Tae: you don't? I'll teach you *smiles*
Namjoon: Tae, no. You don't know how to play either
Tae: I do too *pouts*
Namjoon: really? How do you play?
Tae: ...
Namjoon: *sighs* what's the object of the game Tae?
Tae: ...okay fine, you got me *mumbles and looks away* I just wanted to teach him myself
Jungkook: *smiles and kisses his cheek* I appreciate the thought hyung
Jimin: ah, I think I forgot a couple things
Namjoon: sure, what is it?
Jimin: um...it was a weird thing. When someone put the draw two card or the draw four card?...*scratches his head* Ah...
Namjoon: *didn't quite get the question*
Yoongi: Ah, you mean how you can save yourself?
Jimin: Yeah! That...thanks hyung
Yoongi: *nods*
Namjoon: Oh, that. Well...yeah if the first card you draw is the draw two or four card then you can put it down and make someone else draw the cards
Jimin: ohhh, okay
Namjoon: now, everyone else knows how to play except for Jungkook right? And Tae?
Tae: I do know how to play *pouts*
Jungkook: *pats his back* it's okay to not know hyung
*everyone laughs and Namjoon explains all of the rules to Jungkook before they start playing*
Jin: *puts his second to last card down and forgets to call Uno*
Tae: aha! Uno! You didn't call it!
Jin: what?! Goddammit
Namjoon: ..and that's two cards for you *hands him two cards from the deck*
Jin: I hate that rule, now I remembered why I didn't like this game.
Hobi: *notices Jungkook has Uno and he can win the game* *nudges to him to put the card down*
Jungkook: *makes an "o" and puts the card down* I win!
Tae: what? Since when?
Hobi: since now! *laughs* good job Kook!
Yoongi: psh, you just taught him the game and he won *shakes his head*
Namjoon: well since he won, we're gonna play some more but with a slight change to the rules
Jimin: oh? What now?
Namjoon: *looks at Jin and smiles*
Jin: well...*gets up and brings a bunch of alcohol to the group*
Namjoon: for every card you have to draw, whether someone makes you do it or you do it on your own, you have to take a shot
Tae: whoa, whoa, whoa
Jimin: what if someone has to draw sixteen cards?
Namjoon: that's sixteen shots, sorry Jimin
Yoongi: well ...I had to draw eight cards last time
Hobi: *looks at the bottles* and you got the hard stuff too. Now it's a party!
Jungkook: am i gonna regret this?
Jimin: I've been regretting this since I first got here
Hobi: hey, don't be a stick in the mud
Tae: yeah don't be like Yoongi hyung
Yoongi: what? I am not a stick in the mud, but I already know I'm gonna be drunk as hell. I always have to draw cards
Jungkook: well, you might not *smiles* let's get started
Hobi: that's the spirit!
Jin: I'll shuffle this time, Joon *takes the cards and starts shuffling*
Namjoon: whew, I thought I was gonna have to relive that again *chuckles* I'll still deal the cards out though
Yoongi: nope let Jin do it. You cursed me last game with terrible cards
Namjoon: aw what? How is that my fault?
Jimin: because you dealt the cards silly
Jin: *finishes shuffling and starts dealing everyone's cards to them*
Yoongi: goddammit, I'm gonna get so drunk
Jimin: with my luck I'll end up the same way *laughs*
Jin: alright, let's start
Tae: this is going to be a disaster
[They played about six games. Each game made them go through an entire bottle, so six bottles in and poor Jimin, Jungkook, Yoongi, ended up being the most drunk with Hoseok and Tae being slightly drunk. One way or another, Jin and Namjoon managed to keep their drinking to a minimum, thus watching all of their friends unravel.]
Tae: are we...gonna play again?
Namjoon: unfortunately, no. Those three are too far gone to even register the rules of the game anymore
Jungkook: I am not...*snuggles up to Tae and starts kissing his neck*
Yoongi: hey...no ing in front of... *but that all came out really slurred*
Jimin: am I an exception? *giggles*
Hobi: whoa, whoa drunkie let's not do that
Jimin: you wanna join Hobi?
Hobi: ...
Jin: Hey! Let's play truth or dare! Or...never have I ever
Namjoon: please...especially before those two accidentally undress each other and do God knows what *motions to Tae and Jungkook*
Jimin: *gets up and raises hand* I vote never have I ever!
Yoongi: will more drinking be involved?
Jin: um...only if you want to, in your case I might recommend not drinking anymore
Tae: I'll drink more! Kookie is beating me at it right now *pouts but soon returns Jungkook's kisses*
Hobi: aye, let's start!
[Jimin goes first]
Jimin: Never have I ever...slept with more than one person...at the same time! *giggles*
Hobi: *grabs a drink which leaves Jimin super confused*
Jimin: wait...
Hobi: hey you, take a drink too
Namjoon: *grabs one as well*
Jungkook: what, really?
Tae: heh...wow hyung
Jin: that's...really surprising
Namjoon: *shrugs and takes a shot* okay, next *they continue going around the room until it's finally Jungkook's turn*
Jungkook: hmm...*is really out of it right now* Never have I ever had with a guy before
*everyone looks at him surprised*
Jungkook: eh, well...*takes my shot*
Tae: *seems the most surprised* You never told me...
Jungkook: Whoops, it just kinda...slipped just now
Tae: slipped? So you're gonna blame the alcohol now?
Jungkook: *feeling a little sober now* Yes, I am actually. I drank a lot
Tae: so then when were you planning on telling me? It's kinda of really important information to tell your boyfriend
Jungkook: I don't know...I have a reason though
Tae: *currently getting up to go to Namjoon's room for the night* This better be good...*crosses his arms*
Jungkook: *looks up at him* I...
*everyone watching this whole spectacle*
Jungkook: I can't...*looks down*
Tae: *scoffs* I figured. I'm done for the night *heads to the bedroom*
Jungkook:...um let's keep going for now. Sorry about that
Namjoon: um...we probably should just stop here and discuss the sleeping arrangements for tonight
Jin: Agreed. It looks like Tae took over Namjoon's room, I'm assuming you'll join him later Jungkook?
Jungkook: Yeah...
Namjoon: Then that leaves Yoongi, Jimin, and Hoseok in the living room
Jimin: *looks between them* Us three?
Jin: Yup *gets up* I'll bring you some blankets *goes to the linen closet*
Namjoon: So someone on the couches, and then someone on the floor.
Yoongi: I'll sleep on the floor *already making his way to get comfy*
Hobi: *yawns* You sure?
Yoongi: Sure, I don't mind. I'm already here anyways
Jimin: *wants to object but decides against it*
Jin: Alright I have blankets and extra pillows *passes them out to the three*
Jungkook: *finally gets up and goes to Namjoon's room, shutting the door behind him*
Tae: *laying in bed with his back facing Jungkook*
Jungkook: *gets in the bed with him* Tae?...Are you sleeping?
Tae: *Isn't actually asleep but doesn't answer*
[Jungkook assumes he's sleeping and tries to get comfortable so he can sleep as well until he feels a sudden shift in the bed and a new warmth next to him.]
Tae: *cuddled up to him* I'm not sleeping...
Jungkook: Will you talk to me then?...Please? *hugs him a bit closer*
Tae: Yeah...it's just...I always wondered that maybe there was something wrong with me since you wouldn't take our makeout sessions any farther than just a . But now I know, you just don't want to have with me, well...you've never done anything with a guy...
Jungkook: I had an experience once...
Tae: *looks up at him* What do you mean?...
Jungkook: Well, it was an unpleasant experience...I did have with a guy but it was against my will so I just never considered myself to have done that with anyone...
Tae: Jungkook...
Jungkook: *sits up and sits on the edge of the bed* It was all forced...and he just did it. No matter how many times I said "No."
Tae: *hugs you from behind and kisses your shoulder* I'm so sorry Kookie...I would never force you to do anything
Jungkook: I know you wouldn't, I'm just more scared that I might hurt you...I don't wanna do that. I don't wanna be like that guy.
Tae: Hey, I trust you completely. I know you wouldn't do anything to hurt me and I wouldn't do anything to hurt you. I love you a lot, you know that? *kisses your cheek*
Jungkook: I love you too *turns around and kisses you* Thank you for understanding...
Tae: Of course *smiles and kisses you again*
Jungkook: If we keep this up, we might get into trouble *laughs*
Tae: So? *laughs and pulls you back into a kiss* I'm still feeling a little "happy" from the alcohol
Jungkook: *shakes my head* You're unbelievable
Tae: *smiles and pulls away for a second* Hey...I'm okay waiting now that I know the reason. And since it's you, I know it'll be worth the wait...
Jungkook: Thanks Tae, I love you

[The apartment was dark and quiet with everyone winding down to sleep finally. Jin decided to leave all of the cleaning for tomorrow. Hoseok was sound asleep on the other couch, but Jimin remained wide awake. When he looked at Yoongi on the floor, he noticed the older had his back turned to him. He couldn't help the lonely feeling he got whenever he looked at him. He missed him. He missed him a lot. All he could think about was all of the moments he shared with Yoongi, ever since high school. He recalls how annoying he was to Yoongi in high school, but he never snapped at Jimin or made him feel unwelcome in any way, shape, or form. Yoongi had his own way of showing his loved ones how he cared and Jimin didn't fault him for not being as open. He feels ashamed for the way he treated Yoongi and not seeing how he'd been hurting all this time from hiding his feelings. Yoongi loved him ever since high school...it's been years and as of recent, all Jimin did was take advantage of him. Jimin thinks about Hoseok as well but none of it compares to how he feels when he's with Yoongi. In all honesty, Hoseok was just a way of distracting himself from his real feelings. He wants Yoongi and he knows it for sure now.]
Jimin: *slides off the couch and crouches down next to Yoongi* *whispers* Yoongi?... *taps his shoulder*
Yoongi: *jolts awake and turns around* Jimin? *rubs my eyes and checks the time on my phone* what are you still doing up? It's 3:30 in the morning...
Jimin: I...*looks down* ...I couldn't sleep. I was thinking...
Yoongi: Thinking about what?
Jimin: You...us...and Hoseok
Yoongi: Oh...well, it's late, we should probably talk about this later *about to turn back around*
Jimin: *grabs your wrist* No...I...I need to say this now
Yoongi: Jimin...
Jimin: Listen...I want you. I want to be with you 100% with all strings attached and it just be us. I realized that...it's always been you, who I've truly loved all this time and I...wouldn't trade you for anyone in the world and that includes Hoseok, especially. Yoongi, I love you so much and it's been hell having to stay away from you for so long and I'm sor-
Yoongi: *kisses you* You've always talked too much when you were excited about something
Jimin: *looks at you* Do it again...kiss me
Yoongi: *kisses you again*
Jimin: *lays down next to you*
Yoongi: *pulls away and looks at you* Why are you crying? *wiping your tears*
Jimin: I-I don't know, I'm just so sorry for everything I put you through
Yoongi: It's okay...don't cry *kisses your eyelids and hugs you* Let's get some rest, okay? We can talk more tomorrow
Jimin: *nods and nuzzles against your chest*
[Hoseok was sad to say the least. He heard everything, but he's happy for Jimin. He's happy for the both of them, he could always tell they were really close when he first saw them together. He'll be okay though, he'll feel sad for now, but he'll be congratulating them with cake and balloons soon enough. All he can do now is go to sleep and dream about the times he spent with Jimin, that way he can say farewell to the memories in the morning.]
*****
Jin: shush, you're gonna wake them up
Tae: but they look so cute together
Jungkook: *currently taking pictures of Jimin and Yoongi together*
Hobi: *laughs* Only Yoongi would kill us if he found the pictures *making my way to the kitchen*
Jungkook: Yeah, I'll send the pictures to Jimin
Namjoon: you all have a death wish for supporting this. Come help Jin set up for breakfast *already on the way there*
Tae: I will! *heads to the kitchen, with Jungkook following close behind, to help Jin clean up*
[ Finally the two newly reconciled lovebirds woke up. Jimin and Yoongi were a bundle of tangled up limbs. Jimin is an extreme cuddler so he interlaced their legs together sometime during the night. Yoongi was holding Jimin as if he'd disappear if he let him go.]
Jimin: *wakes up and sees Yoongi still sound asleep* *smiles remembering last night* Hyung~
Yoongi: *groans* Hm?
Jimin: *lightly presses my lips against his* Hyung~ wake up
Yoongi: *waking up and finally lets go of Jimin in order to stretch* Hmm...Morning
Jimin: Whew, I'm free *sits up and smiles* Hyung, you've been hugging me since last night
Yoongi: *sits up as well* Sorry, I got a little paranoid...I thought you might be gone when I woke up
Jimin: I'm not leaving your side...*leans in for a kiss*
Yoongi: *leans in as well*
Hobi: *walks in the living room to grab his phone and almost sees you two*
Yoongi: *pulls away suddenly* Hey Hoseok *glances at Jimin*
Jimin: Morning Hyung *smiles sheepishly*
Hobi: Hey you're finally awake, breakfast will be ready soon *looks for my phone in the couch*
Yoongi: *nudges Jimin before getting up to go to the bathroom*
Hobi: *talking to myself* Where the hell is it?...*looking behind the pillows and cushions for my phone*
Jimin: *sees it on the floor next to the couch and picks it up* It's right here
Hobi: Oh...*takes it and smiles* Thanks *about to head back in the kitchen but is stopped*
Jimin: *grabs his wrist* Hobi...can we talk?
Hobi: *frowns* There's nothing to talk about, I heard you last night *turns around* So...just say it and get it over with. Say you love him and not me.
Jimin: *shocked* Hobi...I...
Hobi: *sighs* Don't worry about it...I already know anyways. Come on, breakfast is almost ready...*walks into the kitchen*
Jimin: ...*goes to the kitchen to join everyone else*
Yoongi: *comes in shortly after and sits next to Jimin* *looks at Jimin and mouthes* You okay?
Jimin: *nods and looks over at Hobi who is helping out with the rest of breakfast*...
Jungkook: *looking at some cute puppy videos with Tae*
Tae: Aww, it's so cute. I want a puppy
Jungkook: *got an idea* Yeah a puppy would be pretty cute to have
Jin: *brings over the remaining plates* Breakfast is served~
Namjoon: Thanks Jin *smiles*
Jin: You're all very welcome
Tae: Oh my god, you made pancakes?! *starts eating some and completely melts*
Jungkook: Ah, these are really good. Thank you hyung
Jin: Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm hearing more talking than eating
Hobi: *quietly eating my food*
Tae: I'm surprised Hoseok's so quiet...
Jungkook: Yeah, what's that about?
Hobi: Hm? Oh um... I think I might be a bit hungover from last night is all... *sighs* I should probably get going to be honest
Jin: You've barely touched your food...
Hobi: I don't need food right now, I just need to go home. *gets up and grabs his stuff before leaving*
[The rest of the breakfast went a little more quiet aside from Jungkook and Taehyung looking at funny pictures while eating which caused Jungkook to nearly choke on his pancakes. Everyone stayed to help Jin clean up before going to their respective places.]
Jungkook: *walking with Tae and looks back at Jimin who seems torn between going home with them or going with Yoongi* Hey Jimin, you coming with us?
Tae: *looks at him and sees Yoongi is already walking in the other direction*
Jimin: *looks between Yoongi and them* Um... *shakes my head* I'll catch up with you guys later *smiles*
Jungkook: *shrugs and keeps walking with Tae*
Jimin: *runs after Yoongi to catch up* Mind if I tag along?...
Yoongi: *looks at him* Of course, I don't mind *wraps his arm around him* Do you want to talk about it?
Jimin: Hm? About what?
Yoongi: You know what...
Jimin: I...just...feel bad...
Yoongi: Do you regret it?
Jimin: Yes and no... but-
Yoongi: I understand, you don't have to explain.
Jimin: you do? *stops and looks at him*
Yoongi: Yeah *looks at him and kisses him* I do *smiles sleepily* Now let's hurry up and get home, I'm tired.
Jimin: *laughs* You're always tired.
Yoongi: Mhm *starts walking with Jimin latched onto his arm*

[Hoseok had gone home for a bit before heading to the dance studio to dance until he couldn't anymore. After so many hours of dancing, his lungs were on fire and he realized that after skipping breakfast this morning, he was really hungry. So, he got up and changed in the spare clothes he had brought with him. After that he went to one of his favorite ramen restaurants. Looking through the menu, he didn't even notice when the waitress had came to take his order.
Waitress: Excuse me sir, would you like me to come back later? *smiles gently*
And that's when he met her...]
