Things were calm in the house of Kim. Namjoon was going through paperwork, Jin had just made two perfect cups of coffee and both were engaged in a pleasant conversation. Ah yes, all was well.

Until.

"JIMIN-SSI!" Jungkook's voice rang through the house, startling his parents to where they nearly dropped their things. Not two seconds later Jimin raced into the room giggling like a child.

"Jimin, why-"

"WHERE IS HE?" Both Seokjin and Namjoon stopped dead in their tracks when they saw the state of their son. He wore mascara, his eyeliner looked stunning and there was even a wig to top it off. Immediately his dads burst into a fit of laughter, with Seokjin pulling out his phone to take a picture.

"It's not funny!" Jungkook whined. "The others are going to be here soon! Help me take this off!"

"That's what you get for napping with your door unlocked." Jimin snickered. His brother glared at him profusely, whereas everyone else continued to laugh.

"Where'd you even get this stupid wig?"

"Uncle Jackson gave it to me a long time ago. Something about a maid's costume and a dark past? I don't remember. Don't look so angry, Kookie," he continued to giggle. "I'm sure Tae will love it! Speaking of which."

They heard the doorbell ring, signaling that their friends had arrived. Jungkook shrieked and quickly dashed to his room.

"Hello Mr and Mr Kim!" Greeted Hoseok as he, Yoongi and Taehyung walked in. Namjoon and Seokjin returned the smiles.

"Taehyung," said Jin. "Can you tell your father that I'm sorry for slapping him in the face but I won't hesitate to do it again."

"Um...sure? That doesn't sound like much of an apology though..."

"Of course it is. I said sorry didn't I? I just don't mean it." Namjoon rolled his eyes and ushered his husband up. He informed the teens that they'd be going out for the day and warned them not to make a mess. After that he practically dragged Seokjin out of the room.

"Where's Jungkook?" Yoongi finally asked. He grew concerned at the mischievous smirk that spread across Jimin's face. He gestured his friends up to his brother's room then knocked on the door.

"Ooh Kookie~" Jimin called in a sing-song voice. "Hobi, Yoongi and Tae are here to see you~"

"J-Jungkook's not here! Come back another time!" Jimin made a face and took a spare key out of his pocket.

"Dumbass." He said as he opened the door. Yoongi instantly tried to hold back his laughter, Hobi was frozen in confusion and Taehyung's expression was blank. "I'm surprised you didn't try to wash it off."

"Wait...it comes off?" Jimin threw a book in Jungkook's direction and rolled his eyes.

"Oh wait, that's Jungkook?" Hoseok marvelled. "Aww Kookie! You look so pretty! Don't you agree Tae?" Taehyung said nothing. In fact no one could really tell how he was feeling.

"We should leave them alone!" Jimin whispered and began pushing the other's out.

"Not yet! I need photos for blackmail!"

"Quiet Yoongi!"

Eventually, it was just Jungkook and Taehyung alone. The younger shuffled uncomfortably under the somewhat intense gaze of his boyfriend, while Taehyung still trying to grasp what he was seeing. "L-Look, it was all Jimin! He snuck in while I was sleeping and put all of this on!"

"Considering you were asleep, he did a pretty good job," Said Taehyung with an ever so slight grin. "You look pretty."

Jungkook glanced down at the floor with a pout. "I look like a girl." He mumbled.

"A pretty girl." Taehyung took the wig off of Jungkook's head, then pecked his lips, bringing some of the gloss off with. It was scary just how good of a job Jimin did. Together, the two of them went to the bathroom and scrubbed the makeup off to the best of their ability. "Thank you TaeTae..."

"Of course bunny. Maybe you should dress like that again." He snickered.

Jungkook scoffed at him and smacked him with the wet rag he used to wash his face. "You wish."

"Maybe I do," the older teen went behind his boyfriend and laid his face on the slightly taller boy's shoulder. "You're pretty either way. But how about this, if you do it then I'll do it with you and I can bet a thousand won that it'll be ten times better than Jimin."

"So competitive." Mumbled Jungkook as he moved Taehyung's hands to his waist to be more comfortable. The other brunette rolled his eyes at his statement.

"Says you," he remarked but all Jungkook did was stick his tongue out at him. "Fine, be like that. Now come on, we bought movies and snacks." Said snacks were already being gouged down by the time the Taekook duo got down stairs. Jimin and Hoseok were devouring a bag of chips while Yoongi silently flipped through Netflix for something decent to watch.

For some reason, Jimin and Hoseok really wanted to have a sleepover. Unknown to everyone else, they had been planning it for days and had only told them the night before. Taehyung came as well because he thought it'd be fun and Yoongi was here against his will. The two of them were one of the reasons Jungkook was even staying.

Despite adoring both Hoseok and Jimin individually - together they were more than anyone could handle. Yoongi was there to balance things, with Taehyung being somewhere in the middle of weird and solemn. If they hadn't shown up then you could bet that Jungkook was going to sleep outside.

"Guys guys!" Jimin gasped. "Let's watch Monster High!" Everyone gagged simultaneously. I.e. they all agreed.

They started with 13 wishes (the majority of the commentary being about how stupid everyone was) and went from there. By far the best time they had was when Boo York started. Surprisingly unsurprising, Taehyung knew all the words to every song. "I have a lot of free time okay..."

The rest of the movie was spent dissing Frankie for just existing. For the most part, it was pretty fun. Towards the end of the movie, while Yoongi was once again complaining about why Frankie didn't have to be in the movie, Jimin got a call.

He squealed and quickly excused himself. "We've lost him," Jungkook stated ominously. "He only does that when Taemin calls him. He's gone to the dark side, we'll get back in at least five years."

"Oh my God, why the hell are you so dramatic?" Yoongi groaned before grabbing a pillow and throwing it at him, which the younger dodged by just a second. Jungkook stuck his tongue out at him and curled up to Taehyung, making Yoongi roll his eyes. "Anyways, back to Frankie-"

Surprisingly, Jimin didn't take five years and was back in about a few minutes. A new record for shortest phone call with Taemin. He came back with a huge smile and maybe a few tears in his eyes. "He's visiting!"

"Who?" Asked Jungkook nonchalantly.

"Taemin of course!"

"Oh cool." Then he went right back to listening to Yoongi's rant while wondering why on Earth he was so passionate about these movies.

Luckily for Jimin, Taehyung and Hoseok seemed to care and were quick to cheer for him. "When's he coming back?" Asked Hoseok.

"Next week!" Hobi and Tae leaped up, their boyfriend's falling off their shoulders with a pout.

"We need to get you ready!" Hoseok exclaimed.

"Babe, he said next week. Calm down-"

"He's right! You should decide what to wear beforehand. We'll help you!" Just like that Jimin, Taehyung and Hoseok raced upstairs, leaving Jungkook and Yoongi alone.

Jungkook fiddled with the sleeves of his hoodie, unsure of what to do. He'd never really been alone with Yoongi before since Jimin and Hoseok were always there to carry the conversation, so had no clue what to say. On the other hand, Yoongi looked perfectly content with the silence, quietly flicking to the next Monster High movie, Freaky Fusion.

"Sooooo," Jungkook said awkwardly. "Are things with Hobi going well?" His only response was a short hum. "That's good...So um-"

"I'm going to stop you right there," Yoongi interrupted. "We don't need to talk you know. I don't find it awkward so neither should you. Mkay?" Jungkook nodded and Yoongi hardly spared him another glance.

The silence, however, still didn't sit well with Jungkook. He wanted to talk but didn't want to risk irritating Yoongi. "So...what are your thoughts on...existing?"

------------------------------

Hoseok and Taehyung rummaged through Jimin's hallway he called a closet, trying to find something for their friend to wear while Jimin sorted through his makeup. "I swear, this closet must be bigger than my entire room!" Hoseok marveled. Tae and Jimin snickered at his awe. He came from a rather modest family and didn't have all the luxuries that they had grown so accustomed to.

"By the way Jimin, do you know what you'll be doing?" Asked Taehyung. Jimin shrugged in response, taking out his phone and scrolling his messages.

"Not sure honestly. All I know is that it'll be super romantic." The blonde held his phone close to his chest with a light squeal.

"How sweet!" Hoseok gushed. "Hopefully Yoogi and I can go on a nice date soon too. What about you Tae? Any plans with Jungkook?" Taehyung shrugged. He looked back at the clothes with a bit of a disappointed expression.

"Not sure to be honest," he mumbled. "I was planning to ask him out this weekend, but he's studying for finals and I'm going on a trip with my dad and Mark."

"You don't sound too happy about that." Said Jimin. Taehyung groaned, laying dramatically against the closet door.

"This is the third weekend he's taken us out! He likes to shower my dad in gifts and it's just, ugh! We get it, you have money!" Hoseok shook his head. He held an outfit towards Jimin, to which he quickly denied.

"Didn't you show up to school wearing Gucci once?" The red-head muttered, once again sorting through the clothes. He would never understand rich people. Be expensive, but not too expensive. Show off, but not too much. It was confusing to him.

"I thought you were starting to like Mark." Jimin said, now laying upside down on his bed.

"He's...okay. He makes my dad happy so I guess I can't be too annoyed by his existence." Taehyung held up a beautiful red scarf and wrapped it around Hoseok's head with a giggle. "Simply stunning." He grinned, putting on his best posh accent.

Going along with it, Hobi grabbed a hat and threw it on his head. "Why thank you sir Taehyung. I got it from Paris on one of my luxurious trips to France." The two of them chuckled, but Jimin was quick to stop them.

"This isn't about you two, remember!" He shouted, angrily rolling off his bed and storming over to the pair. Hoseok and Tae rolled their eyes then suddenly flinched back as Jimin shoved his phone in their faces. "Look at this!"

It was an Instagram post with Taemin and one other man. "Oh...no?" Taehyung replied, unsure of what was so wrong.

"He's got his arm around Taemin and everything! They're practically holding each other!" He groaned. "His name's Kai, I met him when I was in middle school, but the last thing I expected was for him to be fondling my boyfriend!"

"Calm down Jiminie, it's only a hug." said Hobi. He reached for his friend's phone but it was quickly yanked away.

"I need to give Taemin a call," Muttered Jimin. Hoseok gasped and tackled Jimin to the ground just as his phone started to ring. "Hoseok!"

Hobi grabbed the device just as Taemin picked up. "Mochi?"

"Hi Taemin!" Hoseok said cheerfully, ignoring the fact that Taehyung had pinned Jimin to the floor.

"Is something wrong? Where's Jimin?"

"Oh he's fiiiiine!"

"Minnie!" Jimin shouted.

"Mochi? Hoseok, is he alright?" Taemin questioned worriedly.

"Yep! Definitely fine! Bye don't call back!"

"Hoseok wait what the he-" Hoseok hung up immediately and tossed it to Taehyung, who held it just out of Jimin's reach. His hyung huffed and glared angrily.

"What was that for? Tae, why'd you tackle me?"

"I'm not sure actually," the younger shrugged. "Hobi tackled you so I did it to..." Jimin smacked his forehead in irritation. Why was his brother head over heels for him again?

"Sorry Jimin, but I'm not about to let you go on a jealous rampage." Hoseok stated, carefully handing the blonde back his phone. "Relax. Okay?"

Jimin snatched back his phone and groaned. "Yeah yeah okay..." then immediately called Taemin back.

"Mochi! What happened?"

"Are you cheating on me?" He asked bluntly. Hobi sighed.

"No...why on Earth-"

"I saw the picture of you and Kai! Actually, there are quite a few of them! I get it, he's handsome and charming and tall...really tall...but that doesn't mean you can just forget about me!" Hoseok ushered Taehyung out the door, noting that they wouldn't have Jimin's attention for a good while.

When they reached the living room, they were faced with Yoongi, munching on some chips, and Jungkook sitting cross armed in a fort labelled 'the no-no corner'.

"Should we even ask?" Chuckled Taehyung.

"He kept asking me questions. Now he's in time out." The other two snickered at the disapproving scowl on Jungkook's face.

"We should've tried this sooner."

"Taehyung!"
