13.

Jungkook P.O.V

"Pleasure to meet you Jungkook, I'm Kim Namjoon," he said, shaking my hand.

"By the way, Kook, this is Jisoo's brother. He's organising the party along with Sooya," Rosé said, gesturing at the tall man in front of me, who nodded his head at the mention of his sister.

They're siblings?! I don't see any similarities between them at all. I scrunched my face in slight confusion.

"We're half siblings, if you're wondering," Namjoon added, clearly noticing my confused expression. I made a small 'oh,' with my mouth.

"Anyways, how are the party preparations going, hyung?" Lisa asked.

"Hyung?" I muttered softly, but Rosé heard me.

"Lisa finds calling people 'oppa' cringe," she whispered in my ear.

I nodded in agreement. "I find it cringe too, to be honest."

Rosé giggled, causing Lisa and Namjoon to stare at us questioningly. We quickly looked away, and a rather awkward silence had engulfed us which was shattered by a yell from a familiar person.

"How could you have chosen that monstrosity of a dress?! It's a disgrace to humanity, Sooya!"

In the distance, we were graced with the sight of a nonchalant Jisoo carrying a single shopping bag, followed by a struggling Jennie carrying enough bags to have bought an entire shop.

"Oh, look, here they are," Namjoon said, shoving his hands inside his pockets.

"Sooya, I said stop ignoring me!" Jennie exclaimed to Jisoo who was still ignoring her.

"Do you guys hear something? I just hear some bee buzzing," Jisoo said, finally reaching where we were standing.

Jennie just gasped in response, which caused a few bags she was carrying to fall down.

I laughed and bent down to pick them up.

"I can do it on my own!" Jennie fumed at me.

"Okay," I said and dropped her bags which I had picked up. Jennie just gasped again. I shrugged in response. "Do it on your own, then."

"Damn, who knew Bunny boy was such a badass? I like this side of him," Lisa said, smirking. This earned a huff from Rosé.

"So, what did you girls end up buying?" Namjoon asked.

"I don't know about Jisoo, but Jennie for sure bought the entire store," I joked, which cracked up everyone else other than the girl in topic, who just shot me a glare.

"I bought a dress for the party." Jisoo waved her bag.

"It's a disgrace! She just bought the first black and pink dress she saw!" Jennie exclaimed.

"Oh, even if it's a shitty dress, I'm sure my sis will rock it," Namjoon said, nudging his stepsister. Jisoo laughed and slapped her brother's back playfully.

"You guys are cute. If I hadn't known you were step siblings, I would assume you both were a couple," I said.

"For a fact, my brother here is gay. And second, he ain't my type." Jisoo wore a bored expression.

"Yeah, and you ain't my type either," Namjoon said, slightly rolling his eyes.

We all laughed at that. I sensed that they had a cat and mouse relationship, but still loved each other dearly.

Our laughter was interrupted, when Jisoo suddenly gasped.

"Oh, no! Joonie come on. We gotta. . . do something for the party," Jisoo said, looking at her brother with a pointed expression.

"Ah, yes. Well, it was fun talking to you guys, and it was great meeting you, Jungkook!"

"Likewise," I said, with a grin on my face.

"Do you guys need any help? I mean, we're free. I don't know about the others, but I would love to help out," Rosé offered. I nodded, looking over at the siblings.

Jisoo shook her head, and said, "No, that's alright. We want it to be a surprise for y'all."

"I see. Well, if you change your mind, just know we're here to help you." Lisa smiled.

"Aw, well, aren't y'all just the sweetest?" Namjoon said, making the girls giggle.

"You sound like a boomer, but yes, I do agree," Jennie said, sassily.

"I wasn't talking about you, but sure."

"Look at y'all, turning your backs on me like that!" Jennie huffed, but a small smile was present on her face. We all rolled our eyes playfully.

"Okay, we really have to go now. See you guys later!" Jisoo said, pulling Namjoon away. He turned and waved at us, before walking off with Jisoo.

"I should probably go too," I said, after they had left. "Oh, and, when's the party again?"

"At seven, but it's not a party, if you show up on time now, is it?" Jennie said, causing Lisa and Rosé to chuckle.

"True, plus it takes time getting ready," Rosé said.

"That reminds me. What are you wearing to the party, Kooks?" Lisa asked, looking at me.

"Oh, I'm not sure. Something casual, I guess." I shrugged.

"Casual?! Not on my watch. Come on, Juancock. Let's get you something to wear," Jennie said, walking over to me, and dumping all her shopping bags in my hands.

"Woah, hold up. Are you going shopping again?!" Lisa asked.

"Well, yeah—"

"No!" I suddenly shouted, startling the three girls around me. I placed the bags on the ground.

'Well, there goes my sleep,' I thought, grumbling.

I gulped when I got a death glare from Jennie.

"Sorry. I meant, I have some good stuff in my closet. I don't see the need to buy new clothes, knowing very well that I'll probably never wear them again," I said, in a low voice.

"If only Jen thought the same way," Rosé said, staring at Jennie with folded arms. "Most of the clothes in my closet, belong to her."

"I'm sorry, okay? Now let's get back to him," Jennie said, pointing at me.

"Guys, it's really fine. I'll manage on my own."

"Well, sadly for you, we're persistent bitches," Lisa said, linking arms with me.

"Since you seem so adamant on avoiding shopping, we'll just go through your cupboard, and get you dressed all pretty."

Rosé smirked, walking over and linking my free hand with hers.

"Yes! Let's go," Lisa said, pulling me along forcibly to the direction where the boys's dorm was located.

"I'm here too! Guys, help me carry the bags. Guys!" I heard Jennie say.

We laughed quietly, and started walking even faster.

"Y'all are just bullying me at this point!" She screamed.

-

"Uh, are you even allowed in there?" I asked, as we were nearing the boys dorms.

"Not after 6:30. But otherwise, yes," Rosé said.

Lisa and Rosé had un-linked their arms with mine, and Jennie was still grumbling. I felt bad for her, as she was carrying all the bags on her own, so I decided to help her out, and scooped six of them from her.

She was shocked at first, but smiled after.

We reached the dorms, and went up the stairs to fourth floor, mind you, not without Jennie whining about how her legs hurt because she has been walking around all day.

Upon reaching my dorm, I placed the bags gently on the ground, and took out my heavy key-card, holding it against the lock. The door opened with a click.

"I can meet my Jiminie after this too!" Jennie said, practically squealing. I smiled, and pushed open the door, only to be met with the sight of a half naked Hyunjin.

I pushed the three girls out of the room, and quickly closed the door.

"What the fuck, man! Why are you always half naked? Is it so hard to wear damn clothes?!" I whisper-shouted. He just looked at me with a bored expression.

"Not my fault you always enter at the wrong time," he said, putting on a shirt. I face-palmed, quite literally. "And, who were the chicks with you? I mean, isn't it too early?"

I looked at him smirk, and immediately blushed, realizing what he meant.

"Shut it. It isn't what you're thinking," I said, biting the inside of my cheek.

"I mean, you don't need to lie in front of me. I get it. Hormones can do a lot of weird things to people."

He laughed, flipping his long blonde hair back.

I widened my eyes, and was about to respond, when he said, "Didn't think you'd be the kind do it with more than one person, at the same time, though."

I grabbed the nearest thing I could find, which turned out to be his notebook, and chucked it at him.

It hit him straight in the face, and he groaned, holding his nose. I smirked in satisfaction, and said, "Serves you right. Now, get the hell out of the room."

"Why should I? Oh wait, you guys need privacy, right? My bad," Hyunjin said, still holding up his nose, with an annoyingly handsome smirk on his face.

"I'll slap you so hard, Google won't be able find your ass. Get out," I said, glaring at him. He widened his eyes, not expecting me to get so pissed.

"Yeah, yeah, sorry."

I slowly pushed him towards the door, and he just laughed saying, "Jeez, I'm going. As much as I like to be manhandled—"

He was interrupted by me smacking his head once again. He mumbled a small 'ouch', and opened the door.

"Hello, ladies. Hope you all have a great time in there," he said, winking and quickly running off.

I sighed, and looked up, sweeping my hair back.

I gulped upon seeing Lisa and Rosé staring at me with murderous looks. They pushed their way into my room, shoulder bumping me on purpose.

"Took you long enough," Lisa said, with folded arms.

"Oh, sorry about that," I chuckled nervously.

That's when I noticed someone was missing. "Where's Jennie?"

"She got fed up of waiting, and went over to Jimin's dorm," Rosé said, "we were going to go too, but then realised it would've been a waste of time coming here all the way, otherwise."

"Ugh, I'm sorry, okay? Hyunjin was being a pain in the ass," I said, slightly annoyed.

"Of course he was. He's always like that, though. Don't pay too much attention to him," Lisa said, walking over to the window.

"You know him?"

The rays of the sun were falling on her face, making her features stand out. The slight breeze caused her hair to sway lightly, exposing the white strands of hair, which were obviously bleached.

'Pretty,' I thought, as I continued to admire her.

"Yes, I do. We both major in dance," she said, suddenly looking at me. I quickly looked away, embarrassed at the fact that I had been caught staring.

Lisa, however, hadn't seem to have noticed I had been looking at her, and I let out a sigh in relief.

"Okay, anyways. Let's get back to doing what we were supposed to do," I heard Rosé say, walking up to my cupboard. I internally prayed that I hadn't left my underwear laying around somewhere they could see.

That would be embarrassing.

"Kookie?"

I looked up, humming in response.

"What would you like to wear?" Rosé asked, rummaging through my clothes.

"Anything's fine, really. It should be comfortable, though."

"Ha! I found something perfect!" Lisa said, excitedly. She held up a pair of leather pants, and I tilted my head, not recognizing it.

"Uhm, Lisa where did you get that from?" I asked.

Oh, from there," she said, pointing at the other side of the wardrobe, which just so happened to belong to Hyunjin. "There are like four pairs of leather pants in there, so I just grabbed one."

"Oh my gosh, that belongs to Hyunjin, not me," I said, snatching the pants from her.

"I'm sure he wouldn't mind if you borrowed it."

"He's really protective over his stuff. . ." I said, recalling the first time we had met.

"Shush, he'll be fine with it," she said, nonchalantly. I sighed. "I'm sure it'll look great on you."

Lisa was staring intently at my legs, which honestly creeped me out a bit. I shifted a little, but her stare at my thighs was unwavering.

"Lisa?" I snapped my fingers in front of her eyes, which successfully caught her attention. She hastily looked towards my wardrobe.

"Damn boy, your closet is filled with black. Didn't take you to be the emo type," Lisa said, diverting my attention.

"Emo? I'm not like that. I just like the colour black, and coincidentally, it matches with everything." I shrugged.

"Sure, whatever you say," Lisa teased.

"You—"

"Stop arguing. And, look at what I found," Rosé said, pulling out a black turtleneck.

"Rosie, you genius! It'll match perfectly with the leather pants." Lisa grinned, patting Rosé's shoulder, who blushed at the compliment.

"Jungkook. You'd better wear this at the party." Lisa turned to me, speaking in a stern voice.

I didn't want to wear it, considering the main part of the outfit belonged to my roommate.

Nevertheless, I agreed because they had taken time to choose it for me, when they could have been preparing their own outfits, and me refusing to wear it, might make them mad.

I nodded, with a pout, and this caused both the girls to squeal, and hug each other. I smiled softly looking at them.

I was glad to have met them, and to have become friends with them, in such a short amount of time.

"Okay, then, we"ll take our leave," Rosé said, smiling.

"Yup, see you at the party, Bunny Boy," Lisa added, slinging an arm around Rosé.

"Bye, guys. Thank you for helping me pick an outfit!"

"Anytime, Kookie. Bye!" Rosé said, before walking out with Lisa.

I closed the door, and looked at the outfit laying down on the bed. It was a pretty good combination, and seemed comfortable for the most part.

Well, thank God, that was quick, I can get some rest now. Finally.

***

Jennie P.O.V

"I can meet my Jiminie after this too!" I squealed.

A click indicted that the door was open and Jungkook pushed it open. Before I could completely process what I had seen, the girls and I were on the ground and the door was slammed shut in our faces.

"Ouch," I mumbled, but my mind was somewhere else.

Oh my God, what did I just witness. . . a half naked Hyunjin?

"What was that about?" Lisa asked, rubbing her back.

"I think his roommate was standing there, half naked," Rosé responded, with a distant look. Lisa frowned.

We heard some arguing from the other side of the door.

"I. . . think it's better if I just go over to Jiminie's dorm," I said slowly backing away.

"Jen, your bags?" Rosé asked, pointing at the dozen bags on the ground, all of which belong to me.

"Oh, right."

I bent down and dragged them all with me in the direction of the elevator.

"The elevators are under repair, Jennie," Lisa said, pointing at the sign above the elevator doors.

Oh, yeah. I forgot.

"Yes, I know Lisa, I was. . . dragging the bags there because it's closer to the staircases?" I mumbled with a confused look, not sure of what I was saying.

Lisa just sighed, came forward and scooped a few bags from the ground and walked down the stairs. I carried the rest and followed her.

Lisa dropped all the bags she was carrying in front of Jimin's dorm room.

"Oh, come on! Why is everyone dropping the bags, God damn it!" I growled.

Lisa shrugged and walked away. I sighed.

"Thanks for helping, though!" I called out, getting a thumbs up as a response.

I turned around and rang the bell to Jimin's dorm, still carrying the bags.

I stood there, waiting for Jimin to open the door and welcome me. Instead, Taehyung opened the door, just to slam it shut in my face when he realised it was me.

"Kim fucking Taehyung!" I yelled out in frustration.

The door was quickly opened again, this time, thankfully, by Jimin.

"Oh! Hi, babe!"

He smiled and quickly carried the bags which were dropped on the ground, curtesy of Lisa, and then took the bags I was carrying too effortlessly and walked inside the room, ushering me inside too.

He's so sweet. Not to mention muscular.

I smiled and walked inside to see Jimin gently placing my bags on his bed.

Finally someone who is treating the bags and clothes in it, with the respect they deserve.

I went and hugged Jimin, who reciprocated the action. "Thank you," I whispered.

"For what, babe?" Jimin asked, still hugging me and stroking my head.

"For being you," I said, looking into his eyes.

Jimin stared back into my eyes. "I'm not really sure if that's supposed to be a good thing or a bad thing, but, thank you, I guess," he said, laughing slightly.

"It's a good thing. . . a very good thing," I said, and hugged him tighter.

I pulled away when I heard a certain someone making gagging noises.

"Taehyung, what is your fucking problem?!" I shouted at him. He stared back at me, without responding, which just made me even more mad.

Not now. Stay calm, and just do what you came here to do.

"Jimin, babe, have you decided what you're wearing to the party?" I asked trying to stay calm.

"Yes, we both have decided."

"Okay, so I don't know if you know, but the dress code is black and pink."

"Really? We both chose an all black outfit, since it matches with literally everything," Jimin said sheepishly.

"Oh, no worries. I went shopping today," I gestured at all the bags on his bed, to which he nodded. "And I bought a couple accessories for you."

I clapped my hands together.

"Babe, you didn't have to," Jimin said, frowning.

"No, I had to. You're the one who is always giving me little things as gifts, so now it's my turn," I said, putting my hand on my chest.

"Plus, it's non refundable, so you have no other choice, really."

"Alright, then. Go ahead, and show me what you bought," Jimin said in a resigned tone.

I rushed to the bags and quickly searched for the accessories I had specially chosen for Jimin. I excitedly pulled out the velvet pink scarf I had bought and showed it to him.

"A scarf? How do I wear it with my outfit?" He asked, looking at the material in his hands, clearly confused.

"Wear it like a choker!" I exclaimed.

I heard someone coughing aggressively, and turned around to see Taehyung gulping down the entire bottle of water. I turned back to Jimin and saw him staring at me questioningly.

Oh, God, did he really—

"I meant," I took the scarf gently from him and tied it around my neck. "Like this."

I looked in the mirror and saw my reflection.

Damn, this looks good. If he doesn't accept it, maybe I'll use it for myself.

"Oh, like that," Jimin said, heaving a sigh of relief.

"Jimin, what were you even thinkin—"

"Let me try it!" Jimin hurriedly interrupted me and took the scarf from my neck.

This boy. . . I shook my head, smiling.

"How do you even tie this?" Jimin asked pouting confusedly, the scarf tangled awkwardly around his neck.

He looked like a confused puppy entangled in its leash. I cooed.

"A little help, please?" He asked, looking at me helplessly.

I stifled my laughter and went up to help him. I stood on my toes and reached out to untie the scarf from the back, when I suddenly lost balance and fell into his body.

Thankfully, he caught me and balanced himself before both of us could fall.

"Why are you so tall?!" I whined, still in his arms.

"He isn't tall, you're just a little dwarf," Taehyung deadpanned, still scrolling through his phone.

Both Jimin and I shot Taehyung death glares in unison.

Oh, if looks could kill. . . Taehyung would have dropped dead months ago.

Since Taehyung was oblivious to the glares we were sending his way, I gave up and stood upright, to help Jimin wear the scarf properly. I untangled the scarf and carefully wrapped it around his neck, so as to not hurt him.

"What happened? Why're you staring at me like that?"

I felt Jimin's stare but didn't look away from his neck, engrossed in my work.

"Just. . . gazing at beauty," he said softly, but I couldn't register his words properly.

I just hummed in response.

I heard Jimin laugh. "Stop moving, please," I said, holding him still. "There!"

I stepped back to appreciate my efforts. "Have a look," I said, gesturing towards the mirror.

Jimin obliged and looked at himself in the mirror. "Oh, wow, this does look good," Jimin said, staring at his reflection.

I hummed in agreement, admiring him.

"I'm definitely wearing this to the party," Jimin decided and turned to give me a peck on my forehead. "Thanks, Jen."

"No problem."

I smiled at him, when I suddenly remembered another certain something I had bought for Jimin. I quickly rummaged through the bags looking for the it.

"Where is it?!" I exclaimed in frustration.

"Where is what?" Jimin asked, confused.

"Got it!"

I held out the item in victory towards Jimin. It was a super light pink silk tie.

"A tie? What for?" Jimin asked, staring at it.

"Well, I wasn't entirely sure whether you would like the scarf, so, I, being practically the best girlfriend ever, bought this tie as a second option in case you refused to wear the scarf."

"Babe, that's so sweet of you. But, I would never refuse anything you gift me, because I know that you would never give me something I wouldn't like," Jimin said, smiling that adorable eye-smile of his, which successfully melted me.

"Aw, thanks babe, I'm glad you trust me and my gift choices," I said jokingly.

Jimin laughed in response, which was just another one of the reasons why I love him; he always knows what exactly to say and how to react.

"But babe, you said that the items were non refundable. What will you do now? Maybe. . . I can take the tie, and you can wear the scarf?" Jimin proposed his idea.

He's so thoughtful. Every second that's passing, is successfully making me fall for Park Jimin harder, and harder.

"As much as I would love wearing the scarf, it's better if you keep it. It looks better on you," I said reassuringly, "as for the tie, I'm sure that someone in this room has nothing pink to wear to the party so," I walked towards Taehyung, "here you go, Taehyung. You can wear this to the party, and keep it if you liked it."

Taehyung stared at me incredulously and at then at the tie, then back to me. I sighed.

Eventually, Taehyung took it from my grip, and mumbled a tiny 'Thank you.'

I turned back to see Jimin staring at us fondly. I also smiled a bit.

I guess I'll try to make an effort to be nice towards Taehyung, since it seems to make Jimin happy. Can't be that difficult, right?

"Before I forget," I said, suddenly struck with an idea, "wear leather pants to the party."

"Leather pants? But we already decided our outfits," Jimin said, pointing at the pile of black clothes on Taehyung's bed.

"I know, but it's also part of the dress code. Even I'm wearing leather boots. Sooya won't be happy if people break the dress code, she's very particular about things like this. Also, leather pants match with everything, so that won't be a problem," I said, hoping to convince him.

"Alright. We'll swap out the pants with the leather ones," Jimin said, which made me clap excitedly.

The bell to Jimin's dorm room rang. I opened it to see Rosé and Lisa standing there. "Oh, hi!"

"Can we, um, leave?" Rosé asked, completely ignoring everyone else in the room.

"Hey there, Jimin!"

Lisa waved at my boyfriend, who politely waved back.

The contrast between their greetings to my boyfriend ought to have made me feel confused, but all I felt was exasperation.

This wasn't the first time something like this had happened.

"Sure, let me grab my shopping bags."

I walked over to Jimin's bed to pick up the shopping bags, but Jimin beat me to it. He carried them all in one go and handed a few each to Lisa and Rosé, and gave the remaining to me.

"Get back safely, babe," Jimin said, pecking my lips softly.

How is my boyfriend such an angel?!

"See you at the party!" I called out, before the door closed.

"Let's go," I said, still smiling.

"What happened in there?" Rosé asked, staring at me weirdly.

"What do you mean?" I asked, the ghost of a smile still on my face.

"You're too cheerful. You're smiling so much, and you're walking with a spring in your step," Lisa deadpanned.

"Oh, am I?" I said, smiling even more widely.

"Okay, that's definitely creepy. Anyways, I'm going to go to the washroom. Wait for me."

Lisa placed the bags on the ground, and went running off to the Head building, I assumed, since that was the nearest washroom from here.

We stared after her, and I picked up the bags she left, passing two to Rosie. She took them, and turned to look at me with a worried expression.

"No, Jen, you're actually worrying me now. Did you hit your head in there or something?"

"I didn't hit my head, but something did hit my heart," I muttered, giggling a bit.

"I think I'm in love."
