The Characters • Day 2 • Day 3 • Day 4

Jin had woken up with a massive hangover this saturday. On friday morning, the football team had played against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and once they got back to campus with lots of cheering and happy faces, everyone knew there was going to be a party later on to celebrate their victory. Normally Jin’s group - the X factor, as everyone would call them, was very selective but somehow they would always end up in frat parties and such, mainly because of Taehyung. That one knew - if not everyone - almost everyone. And that friday night wouldn’t be and exception since Jimin was Taehyung’s best friend and there was no way he wouldn’t be there celebrating with him.

Jin felt his mouth dry and once he got up from bed he almost fell back, his mind going dizzy. He quietly walked towards the kitchen counter and sat there leaning his face on the cold stone and that’s when it occurred to him: he didn’t even know how he got home or how he was with his pajamas pants on.

“Yeah, that was my doing, you’re welcome” Carolina passed by him with messy hair and just a big shirt on while opening the fridge. “I refused to put my shirt on again didn’t I?” he asked not even bothering to lift his head to see her. “Yeap”

Normally the only lightweight on their group was Taehyung, the rest was pretty good at holding their liquor. Nonetheless every time Jin went to a frat party, Carolina would always bet with him something and he would always lose… let’s just say every next morning he would stare at the ceiling wondering how he got home. His house mate was always the one getting him hammered but she was also the one that would stay with him while puking, or the one giving him cold showers and even the one that would change his pajamas right after. She would find it funny though, there wasn’t a single time when Seokjin would accept to put his shirt on, and every time he would give her the lamest excuse ever that she would make sure to write on their shame board placed at their apartment hall.

“What was it this time?” he asked her once she sat down in front of him eating cereals. “Not even able to get up and go see for yourself huh?” she chuckled making him slap her leg “You said you couldn’t put your shirt on because it wasn’t silky enough for your skin”

As soon as she said it he straightened himself to look at her, they stared at each other for 3 seconds breaking into a laughter right after.

“That’s ridiculous!” he laughed at himself. “Oh and it wasn’t even the best part!” “There’s better than that?!” “Look at this” Carolina said leaving the bowl of cereals on the counter and fetching her phone, quickly opening her camera roll and showing him the photo she managed to take. “YA!” he laughed hard “What am I wearing????” “My silky nighties” she revealed laughing as hard as he was. “We should put that one on our fridge, I look heavenly sexy” “You look like a babe” she said putting the phone away “Too bad our fridge is full of shameful photos already” “Should we buy another fridge?” he suggested with a serious face making her chuckle. “We could always buy some rope and just hang them around the house, what do you think?” “Our apartment is like a shame museum of the two of us... I like it, it’s original” “Thank God you like it because I’m not changing anything” she started eating her cereals again.

Most of their mornings were spent like this. On the weekends they would get to chat more since they had almost nothing to do, and if they had they would always postpone their obligations to later on. As for the week days, they would only see each other at morning on the days they could go to college together, but even so their house was like a spot for their group. Every afternoon all of them would gather on their living room drinking something – alcoholic or not, and chatting endlessly about everything they could. Even Yoongi was always there.

“Oh” Jin let out once he went to the fridge to fetch some water and noticed their kinky list had been upgraded “On who have you been using a belt?? Cause I’m pretty sure it wasn’t me adding that one here” he pointed to the list that they had glued on their fridge. They had their fair share of strange rituals around their apartment. It started out with the shame list since they both would be pretty hyped up once drunk, and Yoongi the king of alcohol, as they would call him, would always write down on the notes of his phone the things they would say and do for them to be awkward about it the next day. Not that they would regret it, they would just laugh it out and write on their board. Then they began with the weirdest photos. Carolina would always make Jin do something stupid and she would always register the moment, as for Jin, he would always photograph the girl sleeping, or eating, or just laying around the house with her weird face masks on. But then, it got upgraded. Both of them were pretty open with the other, they had seen each other naked a thousand times since their bathroom door wouldn’t close properly at times and eventually they just didn’t care anymore. All that intimacy evolved to Jin trying to find the perfect guy for Carolina and Carolina doing the same for him, trying to find out a girl that would love Jin as much as she thought he deserved to and for her, he deserved the world. But to do so, they had to talk about sex and they found it to be easy and pretty normal, after all they were the best of friends... Doing so, they started to list every kinky thing they had done and since both of them were pretty open and sometimes shameless, they decided to glue the list on the fridge. That’s how everything began.

“Ok so.. I may or may not be hooking up with this British guy” “You’re definitely doing so!” he pointed out already worked up “We don’t use belts on friends do we?!” “Well... There was that time when Yoongi was asleep and I locked him up with Namjoon’s belt on that chair-” “I know, I gave that idea but that was a prank, not sex related” “You were the one saying we don’t use belts on friends, I was just reminding you that yes, yes we do!” “On who are we using belts now?” Taehyung barged into their apartment with the key he had, intruding on the conversation. “She’s using a belt on the british guy” Jin pointed Carolina out not bothering by Taehyungs intrusion. By now he was used to the guys coming into their apartment at any time they would like to. “Ok first of all-” Carolina tried but Taehyung interrupted her. “Who’s he? How come I don’t know about it?!” “I know right?! I just knew about it because I saw it here” “Guys!!!! You don’t know about him yet because it was like... on wednesday- And it’s not a big deal!” she explained herself. “Ohh so that’s why you never made back home... dirty” “You’re even sleeping at his house?” Taehyung said exaggerating. He felt like he was her brother since they grew up together “Ok, who is he??” “It’s not a big deal Tae, seriously... and his name is Ben, Ben Hayes” “Ben like- Mr. Benjamin???? The arts history teacher???” Taehyung asked in shock. “Teacher... who?” “Wow, you’re hooking up with teachers now?” Jin asked marveled. “Carolina, I swear....” Taehyung trailed off. “No no no, wait! What do you mean teacher? You know him?” “Of course I know him! He’s my teacher. Ginger, blue eyes, nice british accent... Yes, Mr. Benji” “Ok, that sounds like him” Carolina concluded “I was awfully impressed by his knowledge on Magritte art works, now everything makes sense” “Please tell me he’s not old, like- You wouldn’t go out with a grandpa just because he knows about art would you?” Jin joked making her do a ‘seriously?’ face to him. “You can’t go out with my teacher- How will I even look at his face knowing you guys are- Argh" “First of all, he’s not old and he’s hot. Second, you have to get used to the fact I’m old enough to have sex now” she said it answering the boys questions and worries. “Is he your sugar daddy now? Is that a new kink? I always thought you were into younger guys...” Jin kept on rambling but Carolina was more occupied trying to ease Taehyungs mind. “Yeah I know you have- uh- relations now. That Shar dude made sure to point it out” “You know damn well his name is Shawn, not Shar. And you have sex too! How come only you get to complain about it?” she was now face to face with Taehyung, both fighting like little kids. “Because I’m older!!! You just wait until your dad finds out you’re now hooking up with my teacher” “I bet he will like him since he’s british just like him!” “Yo little babies!!!” Jin came between them “You both have sex, get over it. Now, let’s just focus and return to the subject- Since when you like older guys??” he asked again. “I don’t think I have a preference” she admitted “And he looks way younger, trust me” “Actually he does...” “And you... actually like him? Like- Is he a good candidate for you?” Jin continued his interrogation. “Candidate? You mean as in...?” she trailed off making him nod positively his head “I mean, I like him yes, and he being a teacher doesn’t change that, but it’s only sex. I don’t see myself getting into a relationship with him... nor with anyone to be honest” “Thank God. I feel relieved!” Taehyung let out making the girl roll her eyes at him. “Hm... I see” “Why?” she asked Jin. “Oh- You know I always pair you up with some guys-” “Like Shar” Taehyung interrupted with a disgusted face. “Shawn! And yes I know, what about it?” “Well... I had an option for you. I’m often right about my intuition and I feel like this could be it but since you’re now with the British teacher I’ll let it go” he shrugged off. “Who is it? You don’t get to drop a bomb like that and just leave it be” “You gotta stop offering guys to her you hear me?” Taehyung interrupted again “That Shar guy... Awful” “Tae, shush” “Ok, remember on wednesday when I got out with Harry?” Jin asked. “No- Not! No way! You won’t pair her with Harry!” “With Harry? Really?” Carolina asked with the weirdest face. “Not Harry! Ya! Just let me finish!” Jin sighed “There’s this guy that’s your age and I feel like he’s a really nice guy and he seems your type you know? And besides, I felt a tension between the two of you... I was going to ask you about it but I forgot” “Like a sexual tension? Was he at the party last night?” Carolina asked excited and intrigued. Normally she liked the guys Jin would set her up with. “I’m not liking this guy already” “Yes, it seemed like it. And yeah, I think I saw him on the party last night, he was with his friends at some corner... I always say hi to him and he always says it back, he’s really a good kid!” “Well who is he????” sometimes she hated the suspense Jin often did to tell her things. “That guy that lives down here, Jungkook” he said It like he was telling them the weather prevision for today and what followed was Carolina’s poker face like she was absorbing the information and Taehyung’s constant blinking like somehow he wasn’t believing what he was hearing. “You mean Jungkook as in... virgin boy?” Carolina inquired. “Isn’t he the guy...?” Taehyung started. “That I hate? Yes. He is.” “Ok, I never understood why you hate him, and I told you I felt a tension between you two!” Jin defended his point of view. “You saw his bruised face?” she asked. “Yes” “That’s the only tension between the two of us!!!! Pure hate! He’s an asshole!” she exploded leaving Taehyung with huge eyes and Jin with a smug face on. “I think that’s a no...” “See! Tension. But ok, I’ll respect it! You’re with the five o’clock cup of tea now” Jin shrugged off. “Ugh. I’m going to take a bath” she turned around to leave the kitchen. “Call your mom in the mean time!!! She called me today saying you won’t answer her texts!” Taehyung said aloud. “FINE!!!!” “What are you doing here?” Jin asked Taehyung once Carolina was gone. “Yoongi said he had a new song to show us... and Auntie called me earlier asking me to check up on Carolina” “Ya, are we going down to see Yoongi’s song? At their apartment?” “Yeah, why?” Taehyung asked confused. “Oh, nothing...” Jin trailed off with the biggest smirk ever. x

On the college campus, an insistent alarm wouldn’t stop ringing in the girls dorm. After much toss and turning Deo yelled at her sleepy roommate.

“Oh for God’s sake” her voice sounding hoarse “just turn it off already! I can hear it even with my ear plugs” “Mmm?” Hyori mumbled opening one eye and turning to the side to see her phone ringing “Oh snap! It’s ten already?! I gotta run” “Run where? What are you talking about?” Deo asked still not fully awake. “I have to do some errands to my dad today... wanna come and help?” she asked a bit rushed, collecting her towel and walking straight to their bathroom. “I would... but I have a massive hangover right now so please stop yelling!” Deo said out loud regretting the moment after because her head felt like exploding, making her toss again in her bed. “Sorry!” Hyori said in a loud whisper and then returning to her shower. While Deo kept sleeping like a baby again, Hyori was already ready with her clothes on and decided to leave with her hair wet otherwise she would do too much noise and after last night she thought her best friend deserved a good rest. She filled a glass with water and placed it near Deo’s bed table with some hangover medicine she always kept on the bathroom cabinet. She added a little note to let her know she would be back for them to get ready together to Jungkook’s party that same night. This would be a thing they would always do. They had their separate routines, but they would always be there for each other, and would always do certain things together, getting ready was one of them. Both of the girls liked to have a routine and it wasn’t hard at all for them to come up with one. Hyori left their room and sat on the common sofa they shared with two girls that lived on the dorm next to them, trying to call one of the boys to help her with the difficult tasks she would have to do today for her father. Jungkook normally would be her first option to this situation since he didn’t mind the hard work at all and was pretty good at it, but his game was today, he had to be in his best condition. So she texted Jimin and Hoseok and decided that the one texting back first would be the chosen one. For her despair none of them answered, which led her to plan B. Emergency calls. She dialed Jimin’s number since he came first on her list of last phone calls and it rang and rang but he never picked up. Knowing him, he was probably on the same situation as her bestie... with a massive hangover and deep in sleep. She then called Hoseok.

“C’mon Hobi, please pick up” she whispered to herself. “Who- who is this?” Hoseok was still asleep she could tell and she almost thought of hanging up the phone and let the boy sleep a bit more, but she really needed someone to help her with all those boxes... “It’s Kiri... are you ok?” “Hey Hyo!!!” he sounded cheerful and made her chuckle “Yeah yeah I’m fine! Just sleepy!” his cute laughter echoed. “Hobi...” “Yeah what is it? Is something wrong?” he asked worried. “Oh no, everything’s ok! It’s just umm... I didn’t want to disturb you today but I really need help... with my-” “With your father’s orders- yeah sure! I’m not JK but I’ll do my best!” “You’re the best Hobi!!” she said making him laugh. “Whatever you need Kiri! I’ll be there in... fifteen? Is that ok?” “Sure! Take your time! I’ll wait here in the common living room for you” “Ok! I just need a quick shower but I can be quick! I promise!” he said in a rush. “Hobi don’t worry!” she chuckled at his cuteness “Take your time, really!” “I will but I’ll be quick! See you in a bit!” “See ya!” and she hanged up smiling wide. While Hyori waited for Hoseok she kept thinking on how lucky she was. Her dream college was USC, and she could have never afforded it if it wasn’t for the scholarship she received... her parents were very hardworking but she had two older siblings, so when it came to her turn to go to college, the money left wasn’t enough to send her to where she wanted to go. And yes, she managed to receive a scholarship but due to her hard studying and never leaving home to achieve her goal, she came to her first day at campus with no friends. She had none at campus with her and none outside campus as well... To her surprise, on the very first day she was attributed to a dorm with a very nice girl that later on became her best friend which until now was crazy for her... She had mentalized to herself that she would spend her days in college the same she did in school, always studying to keep her spot there and with little time to be sociable like she wanted to be. And now, a few after she had this amazing group of friends, friends that she knew she could count on every time and her scholarship? Still on! Exactly fifteen minutes had passed when an enthusiastic knock on the door was heard by Hyori and she immediately knew it was Hoseok. Once she opened it she was greeted by his heart smile and a smiley Jack as well.

“Hey boys! Goodmorning!” “Ready to go?” Hoseok asked offering her his arm in a gentleman manner. “More than ready!” she said intertwining her arm on his and then looking at Jack that was still standing there “Here for your sleeping beauty?” “Yes ma’am!” “Listen Jack” she came closer to him but still with her arm locked with Hoseok’s that was becoming a little apprehensive “I get it that things sometimes can slip out of our control and that you both dig that jealousy stuff but! And this is a huge but, if you ever hurt her...” “I know! I know! I won’t hurt her, I promise you!” he answered fast. “I’ll let you pass today because I need to go and I need someone to take care of her. Only because of that” she straightened her eyes at him making Hoseok interrupt the heavy mood. “Ok! We have to go now right, Kiri?! Yeah, we have to go! Take care Jack! Bye bye!” he said pulling the girl with him. “Bye!” Jack said with a smile while waving and then entering their dorm to see his sleepy girlfriend. Still dead asleep, Deo started hearing the doorbell ringing. She immediately thought it was Hyori who had forgotten something behind because sometimes her roommate could be a head in the clouds type of girl. Deo got up of her bed with a death wish upon her friend, and she was ready to say some to her until she opened the door and saw her smiley boyfriend instead.

"Hey baby" Jack said giving the girl a kiss on her forehead and passing by her who was still a little confused "I think we should talk about what happened last night... I don't wanna be like this" "It's ok, we don't have to talk about that." Deo closed the door and turned to face him. "Yes we do..." He sighed "I was an asshole last night, and I just wanted to clear out that it’s not because I don't trust you, because I do but I just don't wanna lose you"

After that Deo let out a big sigh. Those two were always like that... ever since they got together it was normal for them to argue about little things and then make up and pretend nothing ever happened. Their friends were already used to it and by now no one would stress once it happened, they knew they would always find a way of getting back together. This time wasn’t different, last night on the football team victory party, a boy from one of Deo’s classes started to talk to her too much and Jack – whom was already way too drunk, got overly jealous of the situation.

“I already told you, you have nothing to worry about. If I'm with you it's because I like you but you can be jealous anytime, just not too much.” she gave him a sweet smile making him open one himself. "I know... I kind of exaggerated last night, I'm sorry. But that guy just wasn't getting that you're my girl" he ran his fingers on his hair feeling frustrated "I'm sorry" She chuckled as soon as he said that "You're such a dork. But why did you wake me up?" She arched her eyebrow to him, teasing. "As an apology-" he went towards her and answered after back hugging Deo "I came by to take you out to have some food? What do you say? You can choose anything!" She turned around to look at him and then in a swift motion she got out of the back hug. "And you think you can buy me back with food huh?" She started walking towards her wardrobe to change. "What can I say? I know my girl very... very well" "Shut up Gilinsky" she said throwing a shirt on him which he managed to catch still midair. "Only if you come here and shut me up" "Really? Wait outside then while I get dressed." She gave him a bitchy smile. "Come on baby..." "Out. It'll only take 10 minutes." Deo did her best to push him outside but gave him a kiss once he was at the door facing her with puppy eyes, and right after she closed the door on his face. "I'll be patiently waiting then" he said loud enough for her to hear which made her laugh and return to her task: get ready and wake up on the process of it. x “Oh so now what? You guys don’t knock anymore?” Yoongi said once Jin, Carolina and Taehyung got into his apartment and started to sprawl themselves on the sofas, all very sleepy. “Because you guys knock on our door before getting in right?” Jin answered him. “Fair” was the only response from Yoongi. “Where’s Joonie?” Taehyung asked glancing around not getting up of the sofa. “He’s... He’s somewhere” Yoongi stopped eating and got up from the kitchen counter to shout “NAMJOON!!! WE HAVE GUESTS!” Everyone stayed in silence for two seconds before someone came running down the corridor. Jin at this moment was rubbing his temples from the headache. “Here he comes” Yoongi said before sitting down again and continue to dig on his breakfast. “Who’s here??” everyone heard before the owner of the spoken words appeared on the living room. Jungkook. “Where’s Namjoon?” Yoongi asked to a confused Jungkook. “Oh! It’s my new friend! Hey dude!!” Jin greeted cheerfully once he looked up to the boy who waved back still confused about the whole situation “Look who’s here as well, Carolina!” the older guy poked her with his elbow, still looking towards Jungkook. “I think she’s sleeping” Taehyung pointed out “Hey man, how are you?” “Fine...?” “Oh she’s not” Seokjin said wiggling his shoulder a little “She’s fake sleeping, she does it all the time to avoid speaking with other people” “Oh...” “And it was about to work if it weren’t for you” she got up from the sofa in a bad mood to go towards the fridge “Thanks Jin” “No problem!” “Ok guys” Jungkook started with a nervous chuckle “But why are you here? You normally meet upstairs- Woah! Hey! That’s my strawberry milk!” “It didn’t have your name on it” Carolina stated. “Yeah but it’s mine” “Ok” she continued drinking it ignoring him “Now, can you please show us the song?” she asked Yoongi who was unbothered finishing up his food. “Namjoon has it” he said simply. “And where’s Namjoon? Is he playing hide and seek or something?” Taehyung asked. “You do have a point” Jin added “I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case” “Ok I’ll look for him then” Carolina said turning on her heels and marching towards the corridor “HEY NAM, READY OR NOT HERE I COME!” “HEY!!! YOU CAN’T GO INTO OUR ROOMS LIKE THAT!” Jungkook went after her and then turned around since it was worthless “Bro do something!” “Somebody needs to find him” Yoongi shrugged off. “Is he even home?” Jin asked chuckling. “Maybe he’s still sleeping... He snores too loud, I'm sure he can’t listen well because of that” Taehyung said thinking out loud.

Right at that moment they all heard a bang coming from the front door, Namjoon came hurried from it with some grocery bags hanging on his arms. Everyone had their attention on him.

"Oh my God! I thought she was going to kidnap me this time" he said not paying attention to the ambience at all "Somebody needs to do something about that lady" once he finished recovering his breathing he turned around and was faced with confused expressions all over "Hey... Guys? It's reunion time already?" "Do we have schedules now?" Jin asked while making eye contact with everyone even Jungkook "I'm confused" "Who's she though?" Taehyung asked not minding Jin's question. "Oh she's just our old lady neighbor" Jungkook answered him. "She's still trying to hook up with you huh?" Carolina glanced at Namjoon with a mocking expression. "She's not that old" Yoongi told them "Maybe you should give her a chance Joonie" "I'm not even answering to that, she’s on her fifties and I’m not a sugar mommy type" he passed by them to dispose the bags on the kitchen counter. Jungkook went towards him and began to help organizing everything on the fridge and cupboards. "Every time he goes in or out she stops him by to tell him something or ask for help" Jungkook started to tell Jin and Taehyung the story before they even asked about it "I feel sorry for him, really, she's super into him" he chuckled. "I don't know what she sees in me really" "The other day I came home and she was struggling with her groceries and as soon as I offered to help she dispensed me and went on with her life... If I was Namjoon, she wouldn't even wait for me to offer, she would gladly ask for help" Jungkook continued. "Really?" Taehyung added excited "that's cute, she really has a crush" "Did ever cross your mind that maybe she just doesn't like you?" Carolina teased Jungkook making him look offended and deep in thought by it. He even looked at Yoongi and quietly asked if the same had happen before to him. "No dude she does it with me too" Yoongi answered "but whatever, we are not here for this" he said but Jin and Namjoon were too distracted discussing the lady's age to listen to anything else "guys..." "Ok! We get it! She's old but not that old and she only likes Namjoon, now can we go back to what we're all doing here? Besides him- he doesn't belong here" Carolina pointed Jungkook out, again. "I'm in my own house! You're the one not welcoming here-" "Hey!" "I told you we should have done this at your place" Taehyung whispered to Jin.

The early afternoon was spent like that, the x group gathered at Namjoon and Yoongi's apartment listening to some songs the latter was working on. Jungkook hanged around for a while but when time came he ate some sandwiches Yoongi made and then took off to the reunion with his team and coach before his big match.

Jack had taken Deo to Santa Monica beach earlier that day. They ate brunch there and sat by the ocean to enjoy the view, a typical date the two of them would have often. Although Deo was quite the social butterfly, she had this reserved side to her that Jack later on discovered… she would rather keep it between the two of them, and between going out to parties with his friends she would much rather prefer to go out to do simpler things with him, like go on mini golf dates, take a walk by the beach or listen to her favorite tunes while eating the most popular french fries in the California state.

"So~~" she said after a long silence between the two of them “coach ended up justifying why you were benched for the second half?" a sympathetic semblance on her features. "Not really... just said that I needed a rest..." Jack answered while playing with the sand feeling very unsure of himself. "He's dumb." the girl said simply. She was clueless of what to do or what to say to comfort him. "Yeah... That's the problem, I don't think he is you know? Actually I think I'm not that great of a player, I don't know if I'll last long" "Don't say that." she looked at him and sighed making him look at her too “If you weren't good he wouldn't even let you join the team. You're a great player, for what I understand of the game, so don't beat yourself too much over that ok? You'll do better next game and prove him wrong." "I'll keep trying my best, I'm just afraid I won't make it even if I try hard enough... But anyways! Thank you" he gave her his signature fluffy smile "I feel better just to know that you have my back like this" he added taking her hand and caressing it softly. "Stop doubting yourself ok!" she said instead of asking with a strong grip at his hand “I can ruff him up in the locker room if you want. Blow his tires or key his car?" "Stop being crazy" he laughed it out "You can't be expelled for ruffing the coach up in the locker room!" "No one will ever know it was me." she gave him an evil laugh and then actually started laughing at herself and the situation itself making Jack look at her with sweet eyes. "You're my favorite kind of crazy, you know that don't you?" he asked softly. "You're such a softie"

Everyone was busy doing something, and if not busy at least doing something productive or just hanging out with their friends. Not Jimin. He had woken up feeling super hangover and decided to just stay in bed. Once he fully got up to take a shower and eat something, he noticed he had a few missed calls from Hyori and immediately texted her back. He made cup noodles for him and lazily sat on his bed to watch some episodes of the first thing he could find, just to have some voices in the background while he kept on seeing his twitter feed. Jimin liked being quiet like this but he didn’t like to feel alone, so he pressed play and a random episode of friends started playing on his computer screen. It was probably on the fourth episode - that he laughed way too hard by the way, that he decided that he should text his friends and see what was their whereabouts. “Aish… I should get a life” he mumbled to himself while refreshing his twitter feed, impatient to get any responses.

“Who is it?” Jack asked Deo while driving, peeking from time to time at his girlfriend only to see her over entertained while texting someone. "Oh it’s just Jimin" she shrugged while typing.

"Is he going today? To the party I mean?" "Of course. Jimin never misses a party." she laughed "He says he doesn’t know what to wear"

"What a loser" Jack laughed as well "He always dresses nicely- and besides, he doesn't really need to dress nicely, everyone is crazy about the guy" "I bet you don’t know either, loser~" she punched him in the arm finally taking a break from her phone “But he is pretty awesome, it’s kinda annoying" the girl admitted making Jack chuckle with her truth.

"I like him too... What is he saying now?"

"I can't say, it's best friend business." Deo teased, turning her phone away gently to make it more convincing.

"If I didn't knew you two I would be extremely jealous you know..." "Who knows..." she teased again but laughing right afterwards when he quickly glanced at her; she leaned in and gave him a kiss on his cheek "You have nothing to worry about, with anyone!" "I think I'll bring you everyday to this beach... Such a cutie she is" he teased her as well. They lived for moments like this. “Ugh…” and she never knew how to deal with him, she would always get shy in the end. x Hoseok was exhausted. He spent the hole day running around Hyori and helping her with her tasks and somehow the girl wouldn't slow down, she was frenetic. The truth was she always had a lot on her plate... Since she was a little girl her parents expected a lot and demanded a lot from her. Her siblings didn't care at all and she was always the one helping out at home and specially at the little convenience store they had.

"Is this all?" Hoseok asked unpacking the last box of his side "please tell me it is!" "It is!!!" She laughed relieved "I can't believe we actually did all this before the day ended" "I'm pretty surprised as well I mean- we bought and ordered everything that your dad listed, we packed it all, we brought it here, unpacked and organized the store... I feel like I can do pretty much everything from now on!" "I'm glad it was you helping me out hobi, thank you!" She said with a warm smile "mint ice cream it's on me this week!" "Woaaah!!" Hoseok exclaimed excited clapping nonstop like he always did once excited "I know I was the best choice thank you very much!!" "You were by far the best choice! Trust me!" "But you tried Jungkookie first didn't you?" He joked making her sigh softly. "I thought about him... I mean he’s the best with weightlifting... But he would joke around too much which would cost time and-" "And Jimin would whine too much and distract himself a lot" Hoseok finished the sentence for her. "See! This is why you were the perfect choice!! Hardworking, cheerful and a sweetheart" "You can count on me, you know that" he side hugged her smiling big as ever. "You're my hope" she said hugging him and they both went to the front of the store. x

Yoongi and his guests were still chilling on his apartment discussing some ideas. They started the conversation talking about music and now they were rambling about mass murders in high schools all because Namjoon had watched a tv show Yoongi was previously hooked on about that topic. Taehyung was mortified and couldn’t understand how someone could do it and Carolina was explaining to him that psychopaths just couldn’t feel things like other people could.

“This is all beautiful but I find it a bit morbid that I live with someone that knows this much about psychopaths” Jin told her “Do you have anything you would like to tell me? This is your chance; I promise I will visit you in jail” he finished with a joking tone making Namjoon laugh and Yoongi smirk. “My mom is a psychiatrist you weirdo, I kinda grew up listening about psychopaths” she admitted. “That’s cool in a weird way... but cool” Namjoon thought out loud. “She used to frighten Jimin when we were little with stories like that” Taehyung remembered making Carolina roll her eyes. “No wonder they don’t talk nowadays” Jin chuckled and Carolina was about to retort bur her phone kept ringing. “Hey V! What’s up?” Carolina asked cheerfully once she answered the call.

Victoria Nelson or V – as Carolina would call her, was an extroverted girl, the type that passes in the halls and everyone smiles to. Her skin golden brown, her hair long black and wavy. Victoria possessed the biggest cat eyes, and a docile smile that complemented her easy-going personality. She was majoring in dance but she met Carolina through the volley team. On Carolina’s first day she was paired with the girl to warm up and they found out they had a lot in common. Victoria wasn’t shy at all and sometimes she would tease Carolina about it but both girls spoke the same language in regards of their taste, especially in arts.

“What?!” Carolina exclaimed “Are we actually attending that?? Why??” “What’s going on?” Taehyung whispered to the girl curious about what was happening but she only got up from the sofa and started pacing on the living room making the boys follow her with their attentive stares. “Yeah but he can’t actually do that!” Carolina was starting to get furious “It’s not even us that are going to play! Or even our adversary!!” “Is she playing as well?” Namjoon whispered to Jin who kept blinking madly trying to focus on the conversation. “Playing what? What’s happening?” Taehyung kept asking questions to Carolina and she kept dismissing him. “And I’m telling you I’m not going” Carolina said firmly “I don’t see a motive there and I’m not going” she continued but what followed was the girl opening and closing her mouth trying to speak but Victoria was probably playing with all cards she had to convince the stubborn one to go “Victoria Nelson if you actually do that- I- I swear to Taehyungs life-” “Hey!!!” “Fine. I’ll wait. Yeah yeah, I hate you” she said finally and hung up, sinking into the couch next to Taehyung and Namjoon. “Is it a good time to ask you why are you mad?” Namjoon tried. “Nope” “Ok we know it’s about playing which it can only mean volley. Unless it’s a game or something... Anyone?” Jin started what the group called ‘the intervention time’ which consisted in everyone making guesses until they discovered what was going on. They often did it once one of them was too upset to talk about something, or in general once one of them made it too hard for the rest to figure out what was going on. “I think it’s volley related because Victoria was the one calling” Namjoon pointed out “Not that she can’t play games and stuff but it’s-” “Yes we get it” “You don’t want to play is that it?” Taehyung asked Carolina while poking her “Why is that? I’m hurt you didn’t even tell me you were going to play” “I’m not playing you moron” “Hey! What do we say about insulting family?” “We say yes we can!!!” she retorted. “Ok ok ok, I know what it is” Yoongi finally spoke. “Please illuminate us” “You guys are being ridiculous...” Carolina sighed. “She’s being forced to go watch a game because she said she isn’t playing right?” Yoongi continued making the boys nod their heads “And she’s all worked up so it means-” “Yeah yeah, I have to watch the boys game today, congrats you figured it out, sherlock!” she cheered sarcastic. “I felt the love emanating from you right now” Yoongi said in a good mood.

Jungkook was pretty nervous. He was on the locker room sat down together with his team waiting for the game begin while his coach kept giving last advices and cheering them up. Of course he was listening to none of what his coach was talking about, not that he disliked him by the way, he was very grateful for all the “old man”, as Jungkook would cutely call him, would do for him and his comrades… but right now he was focused on the cheering he could hear outside. From what he could tell the bleachers of the inside court were already full of people and on that, he was right. Jimin had arrived first and was having some trouble on safeguarding some seats for his friends. He was trying to balance out his infamous beer jar on his hands, already half empty, while his leg was up to the side on top of two seats and his jacket on the other one on his left, as well as a cardboard he had made that afternoon for Jungkook. He was finding it hard to keep the seats since the space was getting crowded and some people were really trying to get the best view of the game, that of course were the seats he was already in. Although Jimin could get a little rude with people sometimes today he just wanted to have fun, so he just kept ignoring the tons of mean teens who would try to sit down just for him to say the seats were already occupied and then have the people badmouthing him. He was starting to get frustrated and he himself was mentally arguing with his late friends once he heard Deo’s voice, screaming his name.

“Jimin!! Down here!!!” “Come quickly! My leg is numb!” he screamed back already caving into a full smile. That was the thing about Jimin… he could get really mad but he couldn’t be mad for long. And to be honest, he didn’t like at all to be mad at people he loved and cared about. “Thank God you guys showed up” he sighed taking down his leg for Deo and Jack to sit down next to him “I was getting worried about my leg. I mean I’m great at doing splits but not for long” “Stop being dramatic” Deo cut him up “It was only fifteen minutes” “It was way more, baby” Jack laughed it out. “Thank you!” “Wanna die?” Deo gave him a look making him lift up his hands in defeat “Didn’t think so. Where’s Hyori and Hope by the way?” she turned to Jimin. “Kiri texted me a while ago saying they were just eating something and were on their way” “They spent the whole day working?” the girl asked while keeping her eyes on the court. “Yes ma’am” “There they are!” Jack pointed out to the entrance on the other side of where they were sat. “Wave at them!” Jimin said getting up from his seat and waving his arms. “There’s no way they will see you, sit down, I’ll call her” Deo rolled her eyes but giggled a little. Jimin loved to stand out sometimes. “Just shout them out man” Jack added. “Good idea, help me out” “Guys, oh my God” Deo was already embarrassed. “Who are we shouting first?” Jack asked already getting up as well. “Hobi! He has sharp ears” Jimin said while looking at Jack and then “On three. One-“ “Two” “Three- HOBI!!!!!” “HOSEOK JUNG” “I swear to God… where’s Jungkook when you need him” Deo was trying to focus on her phone while the two kiddos kept shouting and wiggling themselves to get Hoseok’s attention. It worked though, cause not even a second later Deo could hear Hoseok’s exciting laughter letting her know they were already on their way. “YA!” Hobi called out laughing while helping out Hyori to climb up the bleachers “WE WERE COMPLETELY LOST!” and he kept on laughing. “We should enter the cheerleading team, bro” Jimin gave Jack his hand to a spiced up high five. “In your dreams…” Deo added but she had a smile on her face. “Hey everyone!!!!” Hoseok greeted tapping lightly on Jack’s arm, and then going for a forehead kiss on Deo “Uhh nice seats Jiminie!” he said excited. “You’re late missy” Deo said to Hyori. “The game hasn’t started yet. Besides, I had to feed Hobi, he worked way too much today, I owed him that one” Hyori answered while going to her seat. “Where’s my kiss?” Jimin said indignant to her. “You lost it once you didn’t answer my calls this morning” “Ok about that-“ he tried. “Shhhh! The game is starting!!!”

The doors of the locker room had opened from the two sides and both teams came out greeting the audience. Jungkook was right under his group of friends and he quickly spotted them since he was the one suggesting the seats to Jimin earlier on. “Fight On Kook!!!!!” “Go get them!” “MAKE US PROUD!!!” “JK!!!!” It was all he could hear from his crazy friends shouting, instantly he opened up a huge smile at them proud for having such great people cheering on him. But as soon as he sat down to hear the tactical moves his coach was going to suggest, his feature was a serious one. His team got up and everyone gathered around coach to put their hands together and shout “FIGHT ON!”, and once that was done only the front line players went to the court in a line greeting the referee and then the other team.

“Here we go!” Taehyung said excited with his fries in one hand and in the other his mini Trojan flag. “You really are out to piss her off today aren’t you?” Yoongi commented to Taehyung while looking at an infuriated Carolina sat right under them. “No I’m not…” He said with puppy eyes. “I’m betting two dollars on the grumpy lady locking the cloudy head on the girls locker room” Jin said casually to Namjoon already showing his two one dollar bills. “What am I even doing with two dollars, dude?” Namjoon questioned. “Namjoon sometimes you fail to see the beauty in the capitalism world… If you bet two dollars as well, we have four. The winner gets to buy a hot dog” Jin explained like it was obvious. “I bet she at least will pinch him- You know that strong pinch of hers?” Yoongi asked Jin. “Oh the sucker pinch? Yeap, that’s a good one. How much?” Jin asked not focused on the game at all. Namjoon that was right in the middle of the two kept drinking his beer unbothered. “Three dollars” Yoongi said “One hot dog and a beer” “She’s not pinching me I’m her broth- OUTCH!” Taehyung looked down to see Carolina’s hand on his inner thigh pinching the shit out of his flesh. Jin was already giving Yoongi two dollars and the latter was putting his hand in the air to call the hot dog seller. “Why?” Taehyung whined. “Yoongi seemed hungry and I don’t know… I like to help out artists, music industry these days are though” Carolina shrugged off with a serious face while Victoria kept on laughing besides her. “Love you” Yoongi said with a tiny smile not to mess his usual poker face while paying up the hot dog seller and taking a hold of his own. “Love you too” the girl said not even glancing back to see his face. “Yeah but what about me?? Your dear roommate?? Wow people these days… Are worse than the music industry let me tell ya!” Jin kept on rambling making the other boys laugh “Can you believe this Patrick?!” he asked a guy sat right next to him. “M-My name is Noah” the guy said awkwardly. “Oh nice to meet you! I’m Jin! Now can you call that girl selling fries please? I’m hungry as fuck” “Uh sure…” “I can’t believe this guy” Yoongi said laughing his ass out while looking at the situation. “HEY NOAH!!” Taehyung who was the farthest from the unknown guy greeted being polite and friendly as ever. “And to think I argued with my dad to defend my friends… phew” Namjoon took another large sip from his beer. “What happened?” Carolina looked up supporting her head on Yoongi’s leg to look at Namjoon. “The usual- Let’s have fun today and maybe once I’m really drunk I spill my heart out to you” “I’m holding on to that!” she smiled to him. “Don’t say that kind of stuff to her, she might actually give you the drunkest day of your life, Namjoonie!” Jin advised him, earning a mocking glance from Carolina since he was a bit far for her to slap him. “GO TROJANS!!!!” Taehyung cheered once Jungkook scored another point, lifting up his little flag and smiling like a kid, making Carolina return her attention to the game with a furious semblance. The thing was: she didn’t want her college to lose, but she didn’t want Jungkook to win either… unfortunately volleyball isn’t a solo sport, otherwise she was rooting against him for sure.

The first set was almost finished, The Trojans, Jungkook’s team, had already scored 20 points and the other team had 6 points less. Everyone in that court knew The Trojans would win, it was an easy game. But somehow Jungkook was wasting all his energy in this match, he was serving with brute force, his attacks were merciless and he would shout with everything he had to his team mates to get every ball possible. So much so that once he scored the last point to complete the first set with twenty five points, getting everyone to cheer for him and yell his name, his coach called him in. While the teams were switching up sides at the court, Jungkook’s coach took the opportunity to call him and have a quick chit chat with him. “What are you doing kid? There’s no need to be so harsh on the other team” “Why not? You always say we must have the competitive spirit” Jungkook said while gulping down some water, his eyes scanning the inside bleachers. “Yeah- I suppose I do… Just don’t waste too much energy. That’s all I’m saying. You will need it for the next games” “It’s not like I’m a tiny glass of water, old man, I’m a big glass and I’m always full. My energy won’t end just because of a simple match” he said cocky. “Well- And I’m your coach! I’m telling you not to waste energy and not to make it seem like you need to give all of yourself to defeat them. Play like you would with five year old kids” “But that’s not fun-“ Jungkook finally looked at him. “Just do what I’m telling you, you brat” “Fine~” he whined and went to court once again, waiting for the referee to start the second set.

“What happened?” Hyori asked once The Trojans scored the seventh point of the second set in a lazy manner “Why is Jungkook playing like if he was playing beach volleyball with us?” “Is he tired already?” Hoseok wondered. “No its-“ Jimin tried but was cut off. “Is he trying to mock the other team?” Deo pondered while turning to Hoseok for answers. “JUNGKOOK JEON IF YOU DON’T START JUMPING RIGHT NOW I SWEAR TO GOD!!!!” Hyori exploded and yelled towards the court, making Jimin close her mouth shut with his hand. “He’s just playing lightly because they don’t need to do much to win that team, guys, calm down” Jimin said laughing. “Ohhh” Hoseok and Hyori let out in a unison. “But I mean, couldn’t he at least try a little harder? It’s boring this way” Deo added. “He’s doing good nonetheless” Jack commented. “I think so too!” Jimin started “Help me out with this cardboard” he said to both girls that were next to him and he lifted it up “GO JK!!!!!”

Jungkook was the outside hitter of his team, he would always receive the ball last to score the point, and even doing it lightly, he still managed to do an amazing job. They had just managed to block a counter attack from the other team, and doing that they scored their 12 point. The other team still behind them. The referee beeped and they all looked at the older man, noticing the adversary coach had asked for a break. Jungkook ran to the side of the court alongside his peers to drink some water and take the opportunity to hear anything their coach would like to add as well. “Any extra advise coach?” Jason, the team’s setter, asked in a mocking tone. “Take it lightly, dude, they’re not that bad” Ian, the libero, added “They’re just unprepared comparing to us” “Tskk” Jason rolled his eyes. “You’re doing a great job, boys, keep it up!” Coach tapped lightly at them. “The outside hitter from the left side has some potential… The kid managed to fit in some points in some difficult corners” Sean, the middle blocker from Jungkook’s team commented. “As if” Jason added “What do you think Kook?” he turned to a pretty distracted Jungkook, drinking his water absentminded “Jungkook! Hey man!” “Mm?” was all he said. “He’s too distracted with Jennifer in the bleachers” Jeremy, the opposite hitter, teased. Jennifer was a player from the girls team, the opposite hitter. She was tall and bronzed, and would always walk around with her big ponytail swinging and attracting some attention to herself. She was quite the pretentious, would always think too highly of herself, but somehow everyone would love her to death. The girl had attracted Jungkook’s attention with her girly charms the moment he began training in the volley team. Soon after they started hooking up with each other occasionally on parties and such, never made into anything official, but still, they were each others fixed booty calls. “Shut up, Jeremy” Jungkook shrugged dispensing his water bottle and returning to court. “The girls came to see???” Jason asked looking around, he had a major crush on Victoria. “Stop looking for girls” The coach slapped the back of his neck “Go play!”

There wasn’t going to have a third set since The Trojans were once again on the lead in the second set. The boys were still doing elaborated game plays but more at ease, none of them were exceeding too much. “Do we still have to be here?” Carolina asked V, still looking boringly at the match “We already know our team is going to win and I have better things to do actually” “Oh like making out with Mr. Benji?” V asked with a smirk on her face and her big cat eyes focused on Carolina’s expression. “How do you even know about that?!!” the girl crossed her arms indignant, but then continued calmly “But yes, that were my plans for this end of the day” “I mean, you know I’m his student right? I take history of art with him… and he sometimes tells us to read something and comes back to class like half an hour later with his lips way too red” “Ok but what does that have to do with me? Unless you’re psychic or something” “You just admitted it does” V laughed at Carolina. “Yeah yeah, but before that-“ “Because you sneak out of your classes at the same time as him and also walk around with red lips. Besides the minute he introduced himself to my class I was already thinking he was definitely your type” Victoria pointed out. “Just because he’s British… never thought of you to assume things like that” Carolina feigned disappointment making V roll her eyes with a smile on. “No~ Because he’s ginger, well dressed and stands out way too much” “‘Kay, but are we going home or what?” she asked with a poker face making V laugh hard. Carolina would never admit defeat. “Shut up it’s the two last points, they already scored 23” V said pointing to the score “Uhhh someone is angry” “GO TROJANS!!!” Taehyung shouted from behind them. “That someone is me” Carolina sinked in her seat with crossed arms looking to the side like a bored kid. “No, that someone is him” Victoria grabbed gently Carolina’s chin and pushed it for her to focus on the game, where a wild Jungkook seemed way too angry. “What’s his fucking problem?” the girl questioned in a muffled manner, V’s hand still squishing her cheeks. “Shush!!! I’m trying to see the game!” The girl next to Carolina, Tracy, also from the volley team and best friends with Jennifer said. “You shush!” Carolina said with a raised brow to her, disentangling from Victorias hands on doing so. “Hey hey” Yoongi called out poking her ear “No stress” and she went back to watch the final point.

Jungkook was the one serving now, the final point and the win was theirs. He knew he could serve the ball and make it to be an instant point, but that wasn’t fun, it didn’t spike him and he knew he had very attentive eyes on him. The court was silent and expectant. He threw the ball up, eyes focused on it, he took two large steps and jumped. His right hand meeting the ball and spiking it directly towards the hands of the libero on the other team. It was a difficult ball nonetheless since he sent it with effect.

“Nice!” Jimin shout out seeing the libero catching it but the ball instead of going up straight to the setter went to the side “TROJANS! TROJANS!”

The outside hitter of the other team was a good one though and he managed to catch the ball and restructure the game by sending it towards the opposite hitter for a quick attack.

“Shit” Namjoon whispered, eyes focused on the game and beer glass half way of his mouth, stilled on mid air.

Ian managed to catch the spike but since it was delivered too strong the ball went backwards. Jungkook knew Jason couldn’t get the ball so it was up to him to make the counter play. He ran with all he had to the back of the court, eyes up on the ball. Looking at the speed of the ball he wouldn’t be able to do a bump to send it backwards again for someone to attack back, so he threw his body on air, reaching the ball with his foot.

“Oh my God!” Hyori had huge eyes, worried. “Bro…” Deo had no words.

There was a huge thud on the floor, Jungkook had fallen on his back but quickly got up and turned back seeing Jeremy attacking the other team, but without much force due to the lack of precision on the ball thrown at him.

“I don’t think I can look anymore” Taehyung frowned in anxiety “JUST SCORE ALREADY”

The other team managed to receive the ball again, but this time poorly. The libero had passed the ball right to the other side, they failed on setting an attack.

“JK~~~~~~” Hoseok loud scream was heard.

Ian received the ball like a feather. Jason arranged it perfectly for Jungkook.

“JEON” every USC student present was chanting together while stomping their feet on the bleachers “JEON” every student but one “JEON”

Jungkook jumped high as ever and spiked the ball on the very corner on the end of the court. The ball passed in such force and speed the other team didn’t even notice it. Once he landed again on the floor all he could hear was the chanting and happy screams everyone was shouting but he turned his head strategically to where the girls team was sat in. He had a smug smile on his lips and the second after, he winked.

“That fucking asshole” Carolina grunted, getting up and trying to leave the place.

With the game had hitting it’s end, everyone was glad and cheerful to see USC wining and staying on the lead. Now the only destination was the party being held at the Pi Kappa Phi frat to celebrate The Trojans victory. "We should get going." Deo said in an asking tone. "Yes, the sooner we leave the better, otherwise we won't ever make it to the party" Hyori added glancing around, seeing the sea of people moving to get out of the gymnasium or the ones still falling behind to continue cheering. "I'll wait for Jungkook here since I'm pretty much ready" Jimin told them “I promised him I would wait” "Text me when you leave so we can meet up at the party” Deo asked Jimin and he nodded with a smile. “Let’s go, people are starting to leave” Hyori said. “Do you guys want me to take you there? I'm kind of worried for you two going alone in this sea of people" Jack offered looking around as well. "We're small but it's not like people are going to step on us." Deo laughed "Don’t worry babe" “Don’t worry Jack, I’ll make them company!” Hoseok intervened to make him feel at ease “I too have to go home and take a shower” “Ok, all settled! Let’s go then!” Hyori turned to leave, placing her hands on Deo’s shoulders to guide her “Bye boys! See you soon!” “Bye babe!” Jack gave Deo a quick peck. “See you soon!!” Jimin said being left with Jack behind. “SEE YA! TEXT ME IF YOU NEED” Hoseok said to his friend looking back.

Meanwhile, already outside, Carolina was taking long strides making it difficult for V to follow her. She had stomped out of the gymnasium so fast that the four boys remained sat down with confused looks on their faces, that’s why they were nowhere to be found at the moment, probably still stuck inside unable to move in the crowded space. “Carolina! Wait up!” V shouted but gained no response “You’re being a brat just like him!” she said finally making Carolina stop right away in her tracks. “You did it! Congratulations!” she turned around to see her friend catching up and already smiling. “You’re so predictable sometimes” Victoria laughed “Why are you so pissed off?” “Ugh! ‘Cause first of all I didn’t even want to be here! And then- He- Ugh!!!” “I know, I was actually mentally punching him in the face once he looked so smug over that last point…” “He’s always smug like that, it pisses me off” She started walking again but this time in a slower pace with V by her side. “Aren’t you waiting up for the boys?” “Oh fuck!” Carolina said with huge eyes looking back “Where are them?? Oh my God where’s my phone?? I lost everything how’s that even possible, I-“ the girl kept looking frantically inside her bag. “Seriously I don’t even know how you don’t lose yourself” V stated reaching for the bag that was in Carolina’s hands and opened the secret pocket, retrieving the girls phone “Here” “Oh- Thanks” she smiled sheepishly. Now with her phone in hands she dialed Taehyung’s number. She was the worse when it came to good memory, the only phone she was able to know without looking was his since he had the same number since he was a little kid. “Where are you?” she asked once he picked up the call. “What do you mean where are you? I should be the one asking that question! You can’t stomp around and run away like that! You got us worried!” he said in a hurry, scolding her. “I highly doubt they were worried, specially Jin” she rolled her eyes. “Fine, he wasn’t that worried, but me and Namjoon and Yoongi, we were worried!” “No I wasn’t” she heard Yoongi saying. “Can you stop and just tell me where are you guys at?” Carolina asked trying to bite a smile down. “No~” Taehyung emphasized the ‘no’ “No I can’t” “Oh for God sake just give me this” Namjoon said “Carol? Carolina?” “What up” “The situation is the following: too many people trying to leave here, we are kinda stuck. You’re on the outside already right?” “Yup” she said looking around. “Ok, good, if you want you can go ahead with Victoria to get ready and-“ “Get ready for what? What are you talking about?” Carolina asked already knowing the answer. “The volley party-“ “Nope. Not going” she said before Victoria pulled the phone out of her hands abruptly. “Hey Namjoon? Yeah it’s V. Look I’m giving her a ride ok? You guys are good to stay back? Want me to come pick you up afterwards?” “Hey! No, it’s alright! This guy named Noah is giving us a ride! You go… go ahead and calm down the lion” he laughed. “Ok, roger that!” she said ending the call. “What did he say?” Carolina asked. “He said we could go” “What about them?” “They’re going home with the Noah guy” “Unbelievable” they both laughed.

Jimin and Jack had finally managed to leave the inside court. They stopped by the entrance, stepping to the side not to be pushed over or to block the passage, sitting on the bars that were left there. Jimin rummaged on his pocket and started texting Jungkook. “I already let him know we are here” Jimin said to Jack. “Nice” “You already ready?” Jimin glanced at him while saving his phone back on his pocket. “Why?” Jack looked at himself “Do I look bad? Fuck I forgot to change into something better-“ “Calm down man” Jimin laughed “I was just asking, you look good, don’t worry” “I guess I got a little distracted today” he chuckled. “She’s quite the distraction, I know” Jimin smiled. He don’t think he will ever talk about Deo without smiling. “Yeah, she-“ “Ah ah ah! No details please. Me and you, we are friends and all but she’s my girl. I don’t think I’m prepared to listen to dirty details” “Hey Jimin!” the boys heard which made them both turn their heads to the sound. “Jean!” the boy in question called out with a smile “You came to the game?” “Yes” she said shyly. “Good!” he chuckled. “Mm… bye then! Good to see you, Jimin” “I hope to see you again at the party, Jean!! Bye!” he said friendly watching her turn back to smile and wave again. “Who is she?” Jack asked. “That’s Jean! From one of my classes; she’s a nice girl, always helps me out when I need”

Deo's bed was full of clothes. She and Hyori had tried on many different outfits. Not that the latter cared much for what she was going to wear but because her roommate wanted her too see her in every single outfit possible.

"Ok! I have reached a decision." Deo puts her hands up in the air, standing up from the ground. "I think you should go with the first one." "Seriously!!" Hyori glared at her, tired of trying on so many different clothes to now wear the first one she tried. "Hey, I had to be sure." "Well I'm not helping you choose yours." The girl said while taking off her socks. "Why?!!" Deo whined. "Because you already know exactly what you want to wear so I'm not waisting any more time." Hyori turned her back on the girl to pick up the outfit that was laying on the bed-stand "What?" She asked once she noticed her friend was too quiet. "You are no fun." She stuck her tongue out like a little kid "I bet you aren't like that around Asa." "I am not. And you aren't either around Taehyung." Hyori said with a smirk on her face. "Do you wanna call Jimin to come pick you up?" She tried to make a threatening look but failed miserably "Didn't think so!"

Deo closed the door behind her and headed to the bathroom so that she could wash her teeth and pretend to curl her hair that she would mess up later. Both girls ended up sitting on the floor of their dorm trying on different lipsticks more for fun than for worrying about what would look best with their outfit until Victoria (Tori, as she was known by everyone), a girl from Deo's cheerleading team finally arrived and was waiting for them.

"Girl! You look great!" Deo rushed to her friend, embracing her into a tight and quick hug. "So do you! Hey Hyori!" Tori greeted the quiet girl that smiled sweetly to her before also commenting on her outfit. "Uh! I call dibs!" Hyori screamed out, running past Deo to the other side of the car, making the girl start to complain but soon stoped, climbing on the back of the car. "So who's attention are you having tonight?" Deo asked, setting in the middle seat. "A lady never tells." Tori laughed.

After the boys arrived at Jin and Carolina’s house they came to find the girl wasn’t nowhere to be found, typical of her to run away to avoid the problem, because they would always persuade her. Yoongi and Namjoon were comfortably sat on the living room while drinking their beverages since they went to the game already ready to the party. They had taken a quick shower knowing for sure they wouldn’t be going back to their house. Jin was currently on the shower singing his lungs out to some tune that Namjoon had chosen, while Taehyung kept arguing with Carolina over the phone. After half an hour she arrived like nothing had ever happened. To her luck, it was Taehyung’s turn to take a quick shower and get ready - the boy would always leave some clothes there for times like these. Jin kept quiet while enjoying the next juicy discussion that came up. Namjoon kept trying to convince Carolina on going, saying he needed her help with a girl, and since that didn’t work out, he pleaded her to go because she was the one keeping them on track. The arguments were plenty, but none was working with her, she wasn’t budging. It was only when Yoongi decided he had enough that they came to a conclusion. “You’re going and that’s all” he said while sipping his whiskey comfortably sat on the couch. “I won’t be going, I already said-“ “Huh” he smiled bitterly “Remember when you said you would never -ever- exchange us for anything? I guess that wasn’t true” “What? What do you mean, of course it was the truth. I won’t ever-“ she replied not seeing where this discussion was leading. “You already did. You went out with the Professor right now… I know you did. But now you don’t want to go out with us” he harshly pointed out making Namjoon and Jin exchange glances. “You never play fair, do you?” she marched out of the room going towards the bathroom, her mind already made up about going to the party. Yoongi always knew how to make her cave in, and they were always like this. They would point things out to one another but never in a hurtful way. She didn’t go far though since she bumped into Taehyung that was just leaving the bathroom with his hair fully wet. “Hey, you arrived!” he said cheerfully. “Yeah yeah, now let me take a shower to get ready to that lame party before I change my mind” she tried to pass by him but he hugged her tight, resting his chin on top of her head. “What’s up with you, little lion?” he asked softly, swinging from one side to the other making her follow his lead. “I don’t know either, it’s frustrating” Carolina admitted truthfully. On times like this she was always transparent with him; it reminded her of all the memories she created with the now grownup version of the boy she had to herself like her older brother. “Is it Mr. Benji? It’s kinda gross but if you need we can talk about it” he offered sweetly trying to peek down at her. “Nope. It’s not that” “You sure?” “Mhmm” “What is it then?” “Once I figure it out I tell you?” she looked at him to ask, with her face leaned to the side in a playful manner. “You know a lion always keep it’s word right?” Since they were little, every time Taehyung wanted to make her keep a promise he would say this. “Tae” she chuckled “We’re not kids watching Lion King anymore” “Just roar it out, c’mon!” “Rawrrr” she let out in a monotone “You’re the worse- Now let me go!” she managed to push him out and lock the door. “No~ I’m the best!” he yelled at the door making her laughter echo in the bathroom.

On the other side of the campus, the party at Pi Kapp was on fire already. Everyone pretty excited, cheering for the volley team who had already made their way into the main living room to accommodate themselves and enjoy the special hot dogs the frat had to offer. Jimin and Jungkook we’re chatting enthusiastically while Deo, Hyori and Victoria - Deo’s friend, were drinking and gossiping about some guy from the frat who was hitting on the latter. “GUYS!” Hoseok yelled to make his voice stand out above the music that was echoing on the room “HI! SORRY I WAS LATE!” he approached them with a wide smile, excited for the party. “What happened to you? We texted and we we’re getting worried” Deo asked while hugging him. “Oh right! You don’t even know what happened- Oh hey Kelsey! Hi!” Hoseok started but got too distracted greeting the people that were passing by. “Hobi! Focus!” Hyori gave him a light pat on the chest to make him pay attention on what mattered. “Right! Sorry” he chuckled “So basically I went back to the dorms right- to take a shower and everything… and! What happened was, when I was leaving I heard someone screaming” “What?” “And what about it? Is this like ghost stories?” “No! No, it’s not that just listen me out-“ he asked. “What’s going on here?” Jungkook came by and back hugged Hoseok, feeling way too happy. “Hey man!!! Congrats on the game!!!” Hoseok opened an even wider smile seeing the younger boy “I was just telling the girls I came here late because there was this girl screaming on the dorms and I went there to see what was happening and turns out she was locked and couldn’t get out and-“ “And you managed to get her out her dorm room?” Hyori asked with curiosity gaining a playful pinch on her waist given by Deo “Ouch! Ok, sorry! Continue, Hobi” she said making Deo and Jungkook chuckle. “So~~ The best part was, when I managed to get her out she had like a bubblegum glued to her hair! And she was freaking out about that, not the fact she was locked up” he said while laughing making everyone crack. Once they were all tear eyed from much laughter they heard someone coming up. “Hey bro, it was such a nice game today!” Taehyung said tapping Jungkook’s arm with a smile on his face. “Oh- Thanks dude!” Jungkook thanked him cheerfully and once he went away with his friends, the boy looked to his side just to receive a questioning glance from Deo. “Bro?” was all she managed to say with an arched brow. “I don’t know” he shrugged.

Carolina’s feet were being dragged on the frat’s floor, she for sure didn’t want to be there but what wouldn’t she do for her boys. They were all following Yoongi because he always knew how to choose a nice place to sit in a crowded place, specially in parties. He would always stay near the bar, but not too near in order to avoid way too wasted people and always in a place well ventilated… and of course, comfortable. He finally managed to find a spot with a couch and a few puffs on the floor and he quickly accommodated himself, Jin sat right by his side and Namjoon quickly told them he would be bringing some beverages. “I’ll see if I can go find Jiminie, he forgot- mmm- something” Taehyung quickly said “Don’t leave here, I’ll be back” “Yeah right” Jin said once he saw him leave “He will probably get lost in the way” “Who’s taking care of him tonight?” Yoongi asked “I’m already the signed driver” “I think it’s Nam?” Carolina answered looking around “Cause I was the one taking care of him the previous time” People would take them as messy people, and in many things they were, very expansive as well, but when it came to take care of themselves they were very organized. Specially with one another. In every party they went, someone was always responsible to take care of Taehyung since he was a cloudy head, and with the drinking it would get worse. He would often get lost. It was a bit tiresome since the boy was quite the unpredictable one, but it didn’t feel like an obligation to take care of him, they all loved each other very much and would do anything in their power to take care of their own. “Nam?” Carolina called for the boy when she saw him arriving with two beers in hand and one glass of vodka with strawberry in the other “You’re the one taking care of Tae tonight right?” “I am?” he stoped for a second “Yeah I think I am. I will stay on beer only tonight then” “Don’t you always?” Jin laughed taking his cup with vodka from Namjoon’s hands making them all laugh.

Not so far from where that group was, Jimin was chatting with some friends from the dance class and getting lots of attention as always. He was sat on a couch, a small group of people surrounding him but every other time his name would be called and he would greet someone different. “Jimin! Great to see you!” Laura Delgado, from his dance crew passed by and waved at him. “Laura! Hi!” he greeted kindly seeing her pass by. They were mostly girls, but some guys would pop out as well. Jimin was very dear to many people, not a single soul on the campus wouldn’t know who he is. He had that effect you see… Always charming and helpful; and although he had quite the fame among the girls, he was truly a sweetheart.

"Deo!" Jimin shouted from across the room when he finally spotted his friend. "Where did you left off to?" He asked as she sat down on the arm of the couch right next to him. "Oh here and there." She giggled, touched from the drink already. "Why are you sitting down here, looking like a lost puppy?" "I didn't see her yet. Did you?" "Don't think so." She stopped to look around the room but the heads were too many to spot anyone. "But what? Do you think she's just gonna pop in front of you?" "You did." He played with one of the curls from her hair. "C'mon sad boy, I'll be your wingman." Deo got up, pulling Jimin's arm to make him stand up and pulled him straight to the kitchen to grab clean cups and fill them with beer.

Yoongi was feeling distressed with the playlist that was currently playing. He couldn’t stop thinking to himself that the DJ could only be a newbie in the job, and as much as Jin was the master in entertainment, he couldn’t stop feeling the urge to just get up and be the DJ himself. So that’s what he did. He excused himself for a moment, leaving Namjoon and Jin behind and made his way to the mini stage where the newbie guy was mixing some songs. “What up” the thug version of Eminem, as Yoongi couldn’t help notice, greeted him. “Yeah man, I just came here to give you some tips because- well because it isn’t going great right now, sorry to break it to you” “What? Who are you?” the guy questioned a little offended. “The USC dj on campus” Yoongi said swiftly. “Oh- shit- sorry man” “Alright, let me give you some recommendations” and the party from that on couldn’t get any better. The playlist Yoongi suggested was top class.

The two boys that remained on the couch kept laughing at how Yoongi could be at times. People made really bad assumptions about him, like for the fact everyone thought of him as an super introverted guy incapable of socializing, which wasn’t true at all. He wasn’t the most extroverted, and for sure wouldn’t give much opening to someone he didn’t knew, but he was quite the chattery guy and would often pull stunts like this. “He can’t keep it together with poor playlists!” Jin would laugh and Namjoon would follow. “That friend always surprises me” he observed Yoongi from afar energetically talking about something with the DJ “Look at him enjoying himself” Namjoon chuckled. “You know what surprised me?” Jin asked making Namjoon shift his glance to the friend now sat next to him. “What?” “The capability of that girl over there to look at us without even blinking” Jin looked at some place behind Namjoon’s head “Wow, she’s at it for a while now… What a great super power!” Namjoon started turning around, squinting his eyes to search the place for a pair of eyes staring at them, only to find them and be extremely confused. He had never seen that girl before. “I guess… I’ll- Just” he started. “You’ll go there and introduce yourself?” Jin asked teasing “Yes, I think it’s a good choice too” So in a swift but clumsy move, he got up and went after the new pair of eyes.

The bar at the Pi Kapp frat was absurdly fun, you could dance on it and who was Carolina to say no to that? She was currently on top of it with another bottle of beer in hands, dancing alongside V, that she managed to find on the party accidentally. They were always like this, both of them would much rather prefer an ocasional meeting instead of arranging something. So in every party they went, they would only meet each other if they accidentally met. They wouldn’t text noticing they had arrived, they wouldn’t even look around, they would simply just let the ‘fate decide’. That’s probably why everyone would say they seemed really free spirited and care free. Taehyung on the other hand was still sober and the view wasn’t pleasing him at all. So he went behind the bar table and grabbed Carolina’s waist, pulling her back down. “Hey!!!” she whined. “This isn’t 27 Dresses, Carolina, you can’t just dance like that to those- guys” he acted like a parent, something she would always smile because she found it to be quite endearing. “Of course this isn’t 27 dresses, I wasn’t dancing to Elton John, I was more like dancing to Pitbull- not that I’m proud of that by the way” “Well neither am I!” “Are you really going to say to me you wouldn’t dance on top of a bar to Pitbull?” she arched a brow. “No...” “Are you sure?” “Maybe to Black eyed peas but never to Pitbull” he admitted. “Oh shut up! Last week you danced to Timber and that’s not only Pitbull that’s Pitbull feat Kesha!!” she spited out making the boy open his mouth like she was speaking something outrageous.

Right at that moment, watching from afar with a clear view, was Deo standing next to a mini group of people she knew very well. Her hand was mid air, holding her cup, and she was kind of lost in thoughts, looking straight. Hyori and Jimin by her side. “I know he’s really hot but can you like, at least pretend you’re looking around” Hyori whispered in her ear making her snap out of it. “Ugh why do you keep insisting on that?” the girl huffed “I was just trying to see what was going on, they seemed to be fighting and you know I love a good tea” “Mhmm, and how exactly do you know who I was talking about?” Hyori gave her that smart look that would always make her roll her eyes. “First of all, fuck you ok, quit being a smart ass” “And let me guess, second of all, he was the one looking first?” “No?” Deo was now genuinely confused. “Well… he is now” Hyori said and glanced straight making Deo do it too. Taehyung was now looking at the two of them while Carolina was holding his arm and searching for something around them. Hyori didn’t make much of it, she knew that look wasn’t for her but for her friend so she kept busy chatting with the people by her side. Deo, on the other hand, couldn’t stop looking as well simply because he wouldn’t budge. Normally when you’re caught staring at someone you at least look away for brief seconds, but he wasn’t even moving. Worse than that, he was finding it amusing and once he leaned his head to the side like a puppy Deo felt her blood boil. ‘What is wrong with him??’ was all she could think about, but her eyes wouldn’t move as well, almost in a competition to see who would blink or change their glance other way, and in competitions… she refused to lose. He arched his brow. She flexed her jawline in anger. He smirked at that. She furrowed her brows. He visibly chuckled at that. “Ugh what a weirdo!” she huffed again and rolled her eyes, snapping at his attitude. “Ding ding ding, we have a winner and it’s not you” Hyori said teasing, gaining a poke from Deo’s elbow. “What is that?” Jimin asked. “Nothing!” Deo cut off “Just Hyori trying to be funny” she added, turning back to pay attention to what Jungkook was saying to a few people next to them. "And you know what's funnier!" Jungkook let out a strident laughter. "They did this hole scheme to score a point, two guys on their knees and the middle hitter jumped on them to spike the ball at us and Jason didn't even blink and blocked the attack.“ "So he's the star of the game after all." Tori teased him. "Oh no, Jungkook will always be the golden player." Hyori mocked along. “Ha Ha Ha.” He let out a dry laughter to both girls. "You two snakes, let him be!" Deo said dramatically. "We're more likely to win this season at this rate." "Alright! Fight On!" Hobi screamed beside his friend, clenching his fist up in the hair. "Fight On!!" A bunch of people around screamed. "Hey, who's that?" Deo asked to Jungkook, pointing to a blonde girl that kept staring. "No clue." He shrugged her off. "Hyori!" She almost jumped to go to the side of her roommate, already back to normal. "Who's that?" She pointed again to the blonde. "No clue." Hyori sipped her beer, her eyes glued to the girl. "I don't know either." Tori said. "Why?" "She keeps staring." Deo said, frowning. "I'll go there!" Hyori said, already marching. "No!" Deo stopped her. "Let's investigate. C'mon Tori."

The party had reached it’s high peek. Who wasn’t drinking was definitely dancing and going wild on the games Pi Kapp had to offer, like the real gem play on words game. Hoseok was madly dancing and showing off his moves on the dance floor, by his side Jungkook who had already had pretty much a lot to drink and once tipsy or slightly drunk, the boy would start to get loose, not shying away from being the center of the attention. And everybody knew he was a great dancer. People were clapping and making some room for the duo to show off and do a mini dance battle, attracting many curious looks and happy giggles from the girls. Meanwhile, in a corner next to the kitchen, was Jimin leaning on the door frame. Hyori came by sensing he was a little off; normally Jimin would be the soul of the party, smile never fading and he would always be the last one to leave. “Hey you” she smiled softly “What are you doing here all alone?” “Jack was just here! He went to grab some more booze” he said simply. “Ok what I was meant to ask was why you look so down?” she inquired further, leaning on the wall next to him “The Jimin I know won’t ever be less than the king of the party” he chuckled at that. “Sarah isn’t here” he sighed “At least I didn’t find her and I was like, dressed to impress you know? I don’t know… It’s dumb, I’m being a girl I know” now was Hyori’s turn to laugh. “Jimin” she leaned her head to the side “You’re still dressed to impress and if you didn’t notice yet, you’re being quite the topic of this party. Go enjoy yourself!” “But what about Sarah?” he asked with a small pout. “Too bad for her that is losing this great sight and the more awesome boy ever! Now go dance, go talk, and maybe kiss some pretty girl” she smiled at him making him mimic her gesture. “You could be a coach you know?” he paused before kissing her cheek “You’re a great friend, Kiri, thanks” “My pleasure!” she said seeing him leave “BUT MAKE SURE SHE’S NICE FIRST, WHOEVER THE GIRL YOU CHOOSE IS!!!”

After stoping Carolina from keep on dancing on top of the bar table Taehyung stayed around her for a few until she managed to distract him and run away. He wandered around the house for a while trying to find her but without much outcome he decided to hit the bar. Not the best decision he had made that night though. After half an hour he was already wasted, rumbling nonstop with the nice guy attending the bar and that led later on to him trying to climb the stairs to go to the bathroom but failing miserably and consequently he just sat on it and started being dramatic, pretending he was crying. “Are you ok? Do you need some help?” he heard someone saying but payed no attention to it, thinking the girl was probably talking to someone else since he was being ignored by everyone who was passing by “Hello? I’m talking to you” she lowered herself to meet his eyes. “You’re- Hey! You’re really talking to me?” he said more drunk than anything making her chuckle a bit. “Yes! Yes I am! Are you ok?” “I think…so?” “Do you need help? I saw you crying… saying you needed the… bathroom” she finished with a kind smile. “Yeah… I think so too” he said with a silly smile featured on his face. The girl helped him get up and he leaned completely on her, not being able to walk properly “You’re kind of short” he chuckled. “I am” “Oh it’s not bad! It’s cute!” “Thank you, I guess” she looked at him quickly to give him another smile and he noticed she had a little mole right above her upper lip. With much difficulty they managed to get to the bathroom on the upper floor of the frat. She opened the door for him and once he got inside she closed it, saying if he needed it she would be outside. A little while later he comes out with a satisfaction smile on his face and little droplets of water falling from his bangs. “Better?” she asked. “Much be- hey you know- your name?” he asked her with a confused semblance, leaning a little on the door, still dizzy from the booze “I know mine and it’s Taehy-Taehyung” he gave her his hand. “Well, Taehyung, I’m Sana Sukhija, nice to meet you” she took his large hand on hers and shook it lightly. As she said her name, he blinked absorbing her image. Sana was way smaller than him, with long black hair; she was wearing dark jeans with a pair of delicate white heels. “Suki?” he asked after a few seconds. “No” she laughed “Sana! Just Sana is fine” “Ok, just Sana, thank you for- Oh look! Hotdog! Let’s go!” he took her hand again and pulled her with him while sloppily chasing after a guy with some hotdog in hands.

"Chug chug chug chug!" Everyone in the room chanted as Hoseok and some other boy helped Jimin do a keg stand. "Wow there, king!" Deo laughed as Jimin was finally placed on the floor with his face super red from being upside. "I still got the record!" "If you do this 3 times a week no one has a chance to beat it." Hoseok pats his back and laughs. "Come grab a drink with me?" "Sure." Deo smiled to the boy and intertwined her arm in his. They walked to the kitchen and grabbed two cups of beer. They decided to leave the steamy house and go to the backyard. "You're not terribly drunk today." "I need to look out for my body. I want abs, not a beer belly." Hoseok laughed. "Where did that come from?" She arched her brow. Hoseok always liked to exercise, he danced a lot, but muscles were never his priority. "My sister is having this show, you see, to promote her clothes-" He stops to take a sip of his drink. "and she wants me to model for her. I saw some of the pieces and it includes a flowie shirt that show my belly so I want to look good." "We can start a training?" The girl suggested. "I've been eating too much pizza for my sake." "And you can also model some of her things!" He said excited and that caught Deo off guard. Fashion shows weren't really her thing, too much cameras and too much eyes. "Maybe?" She said trying not to sound too discouraging. "I gotta find Jimin and ask him too!" The boy gets up, leaving Deo behind.

“But you know what? I’ve never seen him before so” Jin finished saying to do a quick shot. He was the kind of people that no matter if he ended up all alone in the party, he would always find someone to chat around. At the moment he was sat with random people, that he never ever had seen before, except for a guy he could swear that had been his pizza delivery guy once. “You’ve never seen me before as well” one girl that he had no clue of what was her name pointed out. “That’s a good point right there! Are you majoring in public relations or something?” he questioned. Jin was always like this. He was really shy when he started to attend university but along the way he had evolved just like a pokemon - the argument he would always give, turning into someone really sociable and funny. Everyone liked him or at least would laugh at his jokes, even if they were pathetic. There was something about him that people would find really amusing. “Still here?” Namjoon passed by with another beer in hands. “Don’t forget about Taehyung!” Jin said louder because of the music while pointing out to the beverage Namjoon carried, making him just do a thumbs up and leave. “Dude, but what about the rest of the story?” one guy that was drinking next to him asked “We’re dying out here to know the rest!”

“My bad! That one will remain a mystery” he got up “Now if you’ll excuse me” and he left the circle to wander around the house a little. Since his friends were all so expansive and all so singular to the point they would do exactly what they wanted, in times like these, when he was alone, he would just wander around and see the decoration of the house. Sometimes he would meet new people - and that’s probably why he was so articulate and funny, always a tale to tell. In the process of it he bumped into Jungkook, both of them coming to a halt. “JK! My friend JK!” Jin pointed at the boy making him laugh “Congrats on today’s match!!” “Thank you, dude, I appreciate it” he smiled politely. “You’re really a good player! I actually thought you sucked before seeing you in action” “What? Why’s that?” Jungkook asked confused, but his smile never leaving his face; he liked Jin a lot, the guy was hilarious. “Carolina mentioned that she was the one bruising your face… and she always rants about you being like- the worst player so” “The worst player huh?!” “Yeah” Jin let out “But I’ll gladly take your side next time, don’t worry!” “Thanks, man!” he said while seeing Jin off and then shaking his head in disbelief to himself.

On the top floor of the frat, doing the same thing Jin was doing, was Hyori. She was actually really shy, and differently from Jin, she was still like that. She just went to parties because her friends wouldn’t let her stay at the dorms by any means. And the dance floor wasn’t her thing to be honest, so she much rather prefer to take her booze somewhere more private… normally it was the backyard, but sometimes, when she was lucky enough, she would find a nice room with a large window that would take to the roof. That was one of Hyori’s favorite spots to be, and this frat happened to have it. The girl was a huge fan of the space and everything related to planets, so on busy nights with lots of people dancing and tumbling around, she would stay there: sat with her legs close to her chest, looking up to the stars, her lonely drink on hands and a lot on her mind. That was until she heard a loud thud of the door and had to direct her eyesight to the cause of it. “Uh- Sorry I didn’t meant to interrupt” Namjoon said awkwardly, prepared to close the room door again. “No!” she said hurriedly making him stop on his tracks. She had the feeling she had already seen his face somewhere “I can go if you need to use the room” she started moving towards the window to get inside the house again. “Oh! No! It’s okay!” he said hurriedly with huge eyes finally understanding what she was implying by ‘using the room’ “I was just looking for my friend… maybe you saw him?” “Maybe I was just too distracted but I don’t think anybody came in here” she chuckled shyly. “Tall, drunk… maybe a tie already wrapped on his head? He always does it… Taehyung is his name” “Mmm, no… Sorry! I would like to help but I really didn’t see him” she started a little sad to the fact she couldn’t be helpful somehow “But if I see him I’ll let him know you’re looking for him!” “Thanks! That’s great! Then… Umm… I’ll go then!” Namjoon started closing the door again. “Wait!” she bursted making him stop again “Sorry, I didn’t catch your name! For your friend- To let him know in case I find him, I mean!” “Namjoon” he smiled “And you?” “Hyori!” “Well… Thanks, Hyori” they both smiled “Bye!” and the door was closed, leaving the girl in the dark, the only thing able to see was the bright full moon by the window.

Jungkook was already pretty affected by all the beers he chugged down, and even though he had danced for what had felt hours by Hoseok’s side, the tingling sensation of the alcohol just wouldn’t leave his body. He only stopped once he was feeling hot and steamy by all the bodies pressed together on that living room, deciding he had to have something to eat and drink fast, something non-alcoholic preferably.

The boy was next to the table where all the hot dogs were being served once someone tapped lightly on his shoulder, something he wouldn’t even notice if it were other times but his body was sensitive - blame it on the alcohol, so he turned to the side to see a smiley girl standing next to him. “Sorry to bother” the girl started; Jungkook was already drunk, but his eyes were always sharp and he quickly took in her appearance trying to decipher if he had seen her already, or maybe even know her somehow. The girl in question was shorter than him, her sharp eyes peeking through her bangs, her hair loose, falling on her shoulders like a cascade, brown and dry-wavy “I just wanted to say you played really well today” she continued with a smile on her face “Not that you ever play bad” she explained making him chuckle alongside her. “Thanks! I’m Jungkook by the way” he extended his right hand to her, the left one holding an hotdog “Nice to meet you! We- We don’t already know each other, do we? Otherwise that would be really rude of me” he giggled awkwardly retrieving his hand after she took it, finding his gestures funny. “Don’t worry, you don’t know me! I know who you are because I’ve been watching a few games” “Oh! Thanks again then! Fight on” he cheered with a bunny smile “What’s your name by the way?” “Aashna! I’m a criminal psychology major” “That sounds cool! I was-“ he was about to elaborate on something when someone cleared their throat really close to them interrupting the conversation. “I’m I interrupting something?” Jennifer asked with a raised brow, leaning closer to Jungkook. “Hey Jen! No, I was just talking to Aashna, she’s been following our games” he said cheerful looking from one to another “This is Jen, Aashna, our middle hitter on the girls team” “Oh I see! Nice to meet you” Aashna greeted with a smile but Jennifer just rolled her eyes and payed no mind. “Ok baby, but can we go back to the dance floor? Or maybe go somewhere else?” the girl said tugging on his arm. “Let me just eat something first” he said taking a bite on the hot dog “You go ahead, I’ll meet you at the dance-“ “I’ll just wait for you here” she said simply. “You wanna come too, Aashna?” Jungkook invited seeing the girl so quiet. “Yes su-“ “I think she’ll have better things to do, Kookie” Jennifer interrupted again. “I’m pretty sure I don’t” Aashna answered back and once Jennifer was about to say something, Aashna’s friend appeared. “Girl! Help me out! I have a situation!” Sana’s words fast making it hard for anyone to process besides her best friend who already knew her for long. “What happened??” “I’ll let you know in the way! Just come with me!” Sana started pulling her out but she managed to look back at Jungkook. “It was nice to meet you, Jungkook! Fight on!” Aashna said hurriedly but with a smile. “You too!!!” he shouted back. “And may I know who the hell was that?” Jennifer blocked his vision, her arms now crossed again. “I just got to know her as well just about now” he said simply paying no mind to her jealousy and returning to eat his still untouched hot dog. “Jungkook! I thought we were exclusive” Jennifer was still rambling. “I’m heading back to the living room, you coming?” he asked simply already going ahead, she followed tugging once more on his arm. As soon as the boy entered the crowded living room he tried to spot his friends. Hoseok was still on the dance floor with some crew he had gathered around him, but Jungkook was way too tired for that now, so he decided to crash on some sofa on the back of the room. He surprisingly found Hyori sat down on an arm chair and Deo standing besides it while they checked something in Hyori’s phone, so he forced his body to move there. Jungkook was targeting the other big arm chair placed almost near where the two girls were, but once he was about to drop, someone sat right at the same time he did so he stood up again. “Hey!” he said, thinking it was some other guy by the force he was pushed over with. “Beat it, virgin boy” Carolina said moving to sit down again “Sit here, Tae” she reached out behind to grab Taehyung’s arm. “No” Jungkook said pulling her arm not letting her sit down. Taehyung though, sat and quietly look up seeing what was happening “I’m the one sitting down” “As if” Carolina rolled her eyes. “Wow” he huffed starting to get worked up “You- you can’t just do whatever you want! Pissing off people like that” “Watch me!” she said coming even closer to him, pissed off as well. “Excuse me! Bitch!” Jennifer said out loud, yanking Carolina by her arm and then throwing some vodka at her shirt. “Oh you didn’t” Carolina said lowly, almost to herself, feeling her blood boil in anger once she saw the white fabric of her shirt was now getting transparent. By now the few people that stood close and saw the scene had stopped moving, eyes fixated on them. Carolina was still looking down at her shirt and then looked up again, and her eyes were almost on fire; Jennifer moved even closer to Jungkook. A guy that was passing by almost ended up without a hand since Carolina yanked his red cup with such force, just to throw whatever it contained on Jennifer’s face. The brunette screamed in disgust and not satisfied Carolina took another cup and threw it at Jungkook this time “This one is to teach you how to choose better next time” she coldly directed to him “In all aspects of your life” and she started marching out, bumping into other people while making her way out of there. “Fuck” he grunted lowly, still perplex with the situation itself. “Wow” Deo gasped for air “best shit I’ve watched in years” she was still looking at Jungkook drunkly trying to take his now wet hair from his eyes and Jennifer sobbing on the side “Did someone recorded this?” “Nope” Hyori answered with a click of her tongue “But I wish I had” “YOONGI RUN” Taehyung drunkly screamed once he saw Yoongi passing by, he was still comfortably sat on the arm chair Carolina had provided him “CAROLINA IS ABOUT TO GO KARATE KID ON HIM” and he pointed to Jungkook. Yoongi frowned and just decided to ignore him since he saw no sign of the girl in question.

After being splashed with vodka, Carolina marched out to the bar. She needed to distract herself otherwise she would just go back there and punch the hell out of Jennifer’s face. Those two wouldn’t go along ever since they were put together in volley. As the setter of the girls team, Carolina was 90% of the time the one deciding which move they should play, but Jennifer was just really full of herself and would always complain she wasn’t shining that much. Carolina hated that and well, there wasn’t a single time they would just have a peaceful training without disagreeing with each other. She danced for a while at the bar with some people she had never seen in her entire life, but suddenly she got moody, had reached that state of the mind when you’re too drunk and get completely overwhelmed by all feelings you have, so she quickly made her way to find a quiet place. "DUDE SOME PRIVACY" was what she immediately heard once she got fully into the bathroom, after locking the door behind herself. “Hey there!" Carolina greeted, feeling quite sociable “The door was open” she added pointed backwards with a poker face. "Oh... really? My bad" Deo also did a poker face, curled the best she could not to show anything since she was sat on the toilet "I need a tampon do you have one?" “Uh... I don't think so? But I can help- wait a second" Carolina quickly turned around and got out of the bathroom. “Ahh! Don’t- What” was all Deo could say. She returned five minutes later with one in hands, locking again the bathroom door. “Here it is" she went towards Deo while looking up, not to seem like a creep and handed the girl the tampon. “Thank God, I owe you one!” she said while Carolina had her back to her, pacing around the bathroom that was quite big. “No problem- Hey do I know you? I know you don't I?” Carolina questioned with her brows furrowed while looking at the tiles from the bathroom wall, thinking hard on where she had already seen that girls face. Her drunk brain being incapable to remember anything she did for the past few hours let alone the face of a stranger. “Probably? I think I know you too?" she answered while going towards the sink to wash her hands. “Huh" was all Carolina said before going towards the bathtub and sitting inside it. “You ok there? Need to puke?" Deo asked with a weird expression on, once she saw the image of the other girl inside the tub in the mirror. “I’m fine" she laughed “Thanks for asking though! Just here to relax a bit... Some people take me out of my right mind sometimes" “Are you talking about boys? Because let me tell you! Boys are the worse" Deo turned around to look straight at Carolina. “For me people in general... but yeah, I’m talking about a stupid specimen now. Not that I think all men are stupid- I mean sometimes they are, but this one- Argh" “What did he do? We'll get revenge together!" Deo asked excited pacing towards her. “He existed. That's what he did" “I feel you. Is tub relaxing better than regular relaxing? Let me get in there with you." “Well it's better to talk about what angers you... Try it out" Carolina said finding some space to fit her in as well “Now you can talk about your stupid specimen" “So the problem is that there's this boy and my friends like him but he just pisses me off you know? He's so weird and his head is always in the clouds. It's so annoying." Deo ranted about it while rolling her eyes. “And... you like him? Or you hate him? Uh! Or maybe you hate him but like him as well?" Carolina asked feeling more than excited. “No I have a boyfriend” the girl confessed in a monotone making Carolina let out a dry ‘oh’ “If I liked him he wouldn't piss me off. Do you like that boy that exists?" “That sounds... like an episode of the OC bro... Wow" she commented on Deo’s life; her eyes going big while saying ‘wow’ “And hell no. I just hate that one" “Do you? Do you really?" Deo gave her that wise drunk look. “Yeap and for no apparent reason. Cool isn't it?" “So what are you supposed to do if he keeps bugging you?" “I’ll just piss him off as well...?" Carolina answered not feeling really sure of her own answer. “But what if you don't know how or don't want to give him the joy to see he can get under your skin?" “That's... well that's well thought” she complemented Deo “I don't know what to do about that... I was just thinking he's too stupid to notice that" she admitted weirdly looking towards nowhere “Girl talking is weird and somehow mind opening" “Yeah well I think I need more drinks now. You coming?" Deo said getting up. “I think I’ll absorb the information a little longer. Thanks though! And good luck with the dreamy guy from the OC episode!" “He's not dreamy!" was the last thing Carolina heard before Deo closing the door behind her.

As Deo was going down the stairs, Jin passed by going up, trying to find out where the hell was Namjoon at. After the incident involving Carolina that someone had already spread the word about, Jin decided it was time to leave, so that was why he was looking for his friends. They would always leave together no matter what, that was unless someone stated before the party they would leave separately. Yoongi was downstairs by the front door already waiting, in case one of them passed by drunker than they should, now it was on Jin’s hands to find the remaining three. Someone hinted him Namjoon had entered one of the rooms upstairs so he went there to check. “Namjo-“ was all Jin managed to say once he opened the third room door before freezing for a second. “HEY!” Namjoon shouted making Jin close the door immediately. He waited outside for what it felt like fifteen minutes before the door opened up again and a girl left hurriedly not even sparing a glance towards Jin. “Thanks a lot for that” Namjoon said coming out of the room. “We don’t ever have to talk about it like- ever again” “I wasn’t intending to” he added with a sharp glance. “Good! So let’s go home, Yoongi is waiting downstairs!” Jin cheerfully led the way “One down, two to go!”

While Jin and Namjoon got down to the main floor to ask around for Carolina and Taehyung, Hyori was feeling super sleepy and bored on the arm chair she was sat in. “Hobi~” she called him “Are you guys still planning on staying longer? I’m tired as hell” “You wanna go?” he asked; the boy was sat on the arm of the chair, while she occupied the main space. “I don’t wanna say yes, in case you guys still wanna stay but yes, yes I do” she chuckled embarrassed “My eyes are closing, I feel really tired” “It’s ok, Kiri, we can go! I’m actually tired as well, you kept me running around remember?” he laughed while caressing the girls hair. “I’m so sorry~” “I’ll go with you guys as well, my feet are killing me and I just got my period, urray!” Deo said coming by them with a non enthusiastic mood. “Let’s go then!” Hoseok got up helping Hyori get up as well. “You’re staying?” Deo side hugged Jimin who was still very lively. “Yeah! You guys go! I’ll stay with the boys” he pointed out to his group from the football team. “Mm, ok then, take care of yourself, don’t do anything stupid!” Deo adverted him “And make sure you text me once you’re at your dorm” “Who said I’m even ending the night on my own dorm?” he teased making Hoseok laugh and cheer. “Ugh” Deo rolled her eyes “Just text me so I don’t worry too much” “I’m kidding, baby! I’ll text you don’t worry” he squeezed her on the hug, giving a kiss on her forehead “Have a goodnight, angel” “Goodnight, babe” she said back. “Bye, Jiminie!” Hyori came in quickly for a tight hug. “Goodnight, baby! Sleep well!” “Bye bro! See you tomorrow” Hoseok said at last. “See ya!” Jimin said waving at them while he saw Hoseok leave with each girl at one side of him, arms intertwined.

Yoongi and Jungkook were chatting right outside the house once Hoseok came out with Deo and Hyori. “Hey man! We’re going… This sleepy head wants to rest” Hoseok smiled pointing with his chin to Hyori. “Sorry, JK! I really need some sleep, but congrats again on the game, I’m really proud of you” she said sweetly. “Thank you, Kiri” he gave her a bunny smile; Yoongi remained silent by his side, exchanging glances with Deo who was looking at him with her eyes squinted together, analyzing him “Go rest! We’ll see each other tomorrow right?” Jungkook asked. “Yes!” “Yeah man!” “You won’t come with us?” Deo asked. “No, Yoongi will give me a ride since we live together- but Hope will protect you guys” he smiled cutely. “Of course I will!” the older one said making Hyori laugh. “You aren’t drunk, are you?” Deo questioned Yoongi. “No ma’am” he answered in a monotone. “It’s fine! He’s a great driver, don’t worry!” Jungkook eased Deo’s mind but she was still glancing at Yoongi. “Ok then… Text! Don’t forget about that, like you always do” she gave Jungkook a hug. “Don’t worry, mom” he teased gaining a slap. “Let’s go girls~” Hoseok said still cheered up but already feeling a hint of tiredness and they all made their way to their dorms, leaving both boys behind. “YOONGS” Yoongi and Jungkook hear and instantly they look back to the frat main door to see Carolina drunkly walk past a few people calling out her friends name “HEY GRANDPA” “Over here!” he extended his arm for her to grab and she quickly went for a hug while closing her eyes, placing all her weight on him “Where’s the others?” “Jin and Nam are still looking for Taehyung” she said still with her eyes shut not paying much attention to her surroundings; Jungkook was froze on spot beside the two of them. “Do you mind going on one of their laps?” Yoongi asked softly. “No, why?” she answered opening her eyes to look up at him. “I’m giving Jungkook a ride and-“ “You what?!” she bursted. “Oh here we go” Jungkook said and she almost snapped her head once she turned to look at where the voice was coming from. “Fucking hell! Are you a wizard now???” “Carolina-“ Yoongi tried. “I was here the hole time, thank you very much” Jungkook answered drily. “I’m not going with him” she said to Yoongi while pointing out Jungkook. “You have to. I can’t let the guy out in the streets. He lives with me for fucks sake” Yoongi reasoned. “Either you take him or you take me” she crossed her arms. “Oh my- Are you serious???” Jungkook started “What are you? Five?” “Guys-“ “If I’m five, you’re three and shut up I’m not talking to you!” “Yes you are! You just said I was three!” The discussion kept on going, and anyone who would pass by could see Yoongi was just desperate to run away from there.

“Deo? Are you sleeping already?” Hyori called. Both of them tucked in bed after a quick shower, the lights already out “I guess she’s asleep… too bad, I had some tea to spill…” she purposely said it out loud, knowing damn well the friend she had. “Oh just tell me already!” Deo whispered in a louder manner on the other side of the bedroom making Hyori laugh. “You vixen!” “Just tell me what is it!” “Oh it was nothing, I just really wanted to tell you how great all those glances between you and the hot guy were” Hyori had a smirk on her face although Deo couldn’t see it. A silence creeped in “Deo?” Hyori asked again just to almost die of an heart attack because her roommate had thrown a pillow in her direction. It landed perfectly on her head. “Shut up!!!!!!” “Oh my God! For a second I thought I was going to die” she said gasping for air. “See?! That’s what you get for saying such nonsense” Deo complained but with a tiny smile on her face. “Wow” Hyori let out still trying to ease her heart from the jump scare. Not a minute later though she started laughing like a crazy person. “What are you laughing at?” Deo inquired. “How do you know ‘hot guy’ was Taehyung though? You must really find him hot” “Want another pillow?? I have three more!!”

Jin just wished he was on his bed right now and in deep sleep, but somehow he managed to be the one in charge of finding Taehyung. As soon as they arrived at the party and everyone said Namjoon was being held responsible for the boy he already knew something was going out wrong. Turns out that once more he was right. “Hey man, did you see my friend Taehyung? The artsy one?” he kept asking to everyone he could possibly know. “No dude, sorry!” “Namjoon I swear to God, Namjoon” he kept saying in a desperate way. “He must be somewhere- I mean, I only hope he is” Namjoon said while looking around. “Hi! Mm, hey! Sorry!” Sana called the two out “You’re friends with Tae right?” “Oh my God yes!!” Jin said dramatically “You know him?” “Where is he?? Is he ok?” “Yes! Yes!” she said looking from one to another being bombarded with questions “My friend is with him right now, he is asleep! Can you come get him? I’m not strong enough and he won’t wake up” “Lead the way”

Yoongi was now driving Jin’s jeep, both of them on the front and in the back Taehyung by the window now fully woken up screaming ‘Kangaroo’ with his window rolled down, Jungkook was squeezed in the middle and Namjoon was on the other end with Carolina curled up on his lap. The first stop was Taehyung’s dorm; As soon as Yoongi parked up, Jin got out and helped Taehyung to get to bed, he only left once he knew the boy wouldn’t go anywhere else. The way towards their apartments was a silent one. Jin was still on the passenger seat, and now both Carolina and Jungkook were at the windows, Namjoon in the middle feeling super awkward with the tension left in the air. Not even fifteen minutes later they had arrived to final destination, Yoongi parking the jeep in the garage and they all went dragging their feet until they reached the elevator. Jungkook went to press the button to their floor but Carolina was faster pressing onto the button number three. “Really?” the boy said “Couldn’t you press number two first?” “Not really” she smiled in amusement high fiving with Jin that was right behind her. “Now we’ll have to go up to the third floor only to go back down again” Jungkook kept ranting about it. “It’s ok, the elevator song is kinda nice” Namjoon said making Carolina laugh. “No it’s not!” Jungkook bursted. “Have to agree” Yoongi added. “Oh so now you’re agreeing with him?” Carolina inquired. “See?! I can’t no more, I’m going up with my own feet!” Jungkook said decided. “We’re already on level three” Jin said “I mean you can always go down taking the stairs but phew, what a waste of energy” “Have a nice night babes!” Carolina said happily giving a kiss on the cheek on both Namjoon and Yoongi. “Night” “You too!” “Ya! Let’s sleep!” Jin passed by stretching his arms while Carolina kept holding the elevator door. “Aren’t you taking the stairs?” she asked Jungkook making him clench his jaw. “Go away, you stink!” was the only thing he managed to say making her laugh in pleasure while walking away.

Some were already sleeping, some were in bed about to, others taking a shower or having a middle night snack, but Jimin… well, he kept zig zagging on the streets, even managed to frustrate himself about passing his key card on the wrong building only to fall into laughter the minute after. With much effort he arrived on his dorms, tiredly climbing up the stairs to the fourth floor because he forgot they had an elevator there. He fumbled with his keys once he got to the door with both his and Taehyung’s miniatures in cowboy hats; the key fell from his hand once, even twice. By his third tentative, a messy haired Taehyung just opened the door with a brusque yank at it, not even sparing a word at the now fallen Jimin laughing on the floor, he just went back to his bed and his sleep. “Aish Taehyungie” Jimin mumbled after closing the door and crawling over his bed; not even his shoes were off “I think I’m too tired to move now” “Mm” was the only answer he got. “Night night, Tata” Jimin said softly giving out to a deep sleep.
