It's Complicated || J.J.K

It was a miracle Areum and Jungkook had successfully snuck Yoongi into her dorm room without her R.A catching them dragging the drunken, passed out man down the silent halls.

They had tried to take Yoongi to his dorm room which was located on campus as well but neither of them knew the code to get into the dorm building. Areum didn't want Yoongi to get in trouble, so she insisted Yoongi could sleep in her room for the night since she was certain Ji wasn't going to be coming back tonight.

Jungkook let out an 'oof' sound when he dropped the older boy onto the small twin size bed. Areum had mentioned she was going to the bathrooms to wash up and change really quickly and had asked Jungkook if he could watch Yoongi, just to make sure he didn't vomit in his sleep or try to leave while she was gone.

He had tried not to let his eyes wonder around the room, not wanting to invade her or her roommates privacy. But the young boy almost couldn't help it. It even freaked him out a bit that he knew which side of the room belonged to Areum without having to be told.

Makeup and other accessories were scattered across her roommates desk, where as Areum's was neatly decorated with books, journals and a very few makeup products for herself. Even back than Areum was never one to use much makeup and shined more in her natural beauty, which is more than he can say about other girls he's come across.

The posters hanging above her bed, still showed she was into the same bands as she was when they lived back home. Queen, Aerosmith and even some newer bands he had never heard of but was surely going to check out when he got home.

He remembered when Taehyung had gotten his first car at sixteen and was stuck having to have Jungkook tag along for a ride to school. They would pick up Areum on the way and with no hesitation, she would take over the aux cord to play and  sing along loudly to her favorite songs.

He always thought it was cool how she was never afraid to be herself or be embarrassed over her interest. She was undoubtedly one of the popular girls in school, and usually those kind of girls would follow along with the crowd. Liked things, only because that's what was cool at the moment but that wasn't the Areum he knew.

Next to her posters, was a small bulletin board filled with pictures. Some of her with her family and friends. Even a few pictures with Taehyung were present and he hated the bitter feeling that grew within his chest. There was no doubting they looked happy together and he couldn't wrap his head around the fact that his older brother was stupid enough to let such an amazing women go.

Before his tipsy thoughts could take over his mind, because that's what this was. It had to be the fact he had a few drinks tonight, that he felt that longing he had let go along time ago was suddenly creeping up on him again.

He scanned over the last few pictures and let his eyes rest on a particular photo of Areum, taking a selfie with the girl she was at the party with at the frat house a few weeks ago.

He assumed that was her roommate because she had multiple pictures with the same girl and most were taken inside this room. But what caught his interest about this photo was that he recognized the shirt Areum was wearing.

Her seventeenth birthday was coming up and he had spent the last month taking on extra chores and even mowing a few lawns for cash to be able to buy her a present on his own without having to ask for help from his parents, because he felt a little weird explaining he wanted to buy his brothers girlfriend something for her birthday.
