The Blanket | Jikook

"Umm... wow."

"Tell me about it! It's so much bigger than last time I was here!"

"Or maybe you just shrunk."

Hoseok raised an eyebrow, glancing at Yoongi. "Want to test that theory?"

The tips of Yoongi's ears turned red. "Shut up."

It had taken a while for them to get there. Everyone kept getting distracted by various shops and they even went inside a few. Yoongi had gotten a new CD from one of his favorite artists.

Now that they were there, Jungkook just stood there, amazed, ignoring the voices around him. The place was big. To one side were tables and a counter with a menu full of various foods. There was a desk directly in front of them and a door to the side. A big sign hung above with neon letters reading "Lazer Tag Arena". To the other side was an entryway. Jungkook could see flashing colors and lots of sounds. A few people were wandering and he could hear yells of defeat echoing into the main area. Was that an arcade?

"Wow... how haven't I been here before?" Jimin asked from beside him, startling him out of his thoughts.

"I'm asking myself the same question. I've seen it lots of times, but not once have I come in..." Jungkook let his eyes wander again. Taehyung and Jin stood at the desk, talking with the man behind it. They soon turned to the group.

"40,000 won for an all-play pass. Hand 'em over." Taehyung held up a hand, gesturing to everyone along with his words. Jungkook tried to reach toward his backpack but his hand was caught in someone else's.

"I'm paying for you."

Jungkook looked at Jimin, shocked. "What? No, I'll pay for myself."

"Nope. You paid for us both that one time we went out to eat. I'm just returning the favor." Jimin reached into his pocket, withdrawing a wallet and pulling out some bills. He counted quickly, ignoring Jungkook's protests, then handed the pile to Taehyung.

"Jimin, you didn't have to do that," Jungkook whined, adding a pout for effect.

Jimin chuckled, wrapping an arm around the younger. "Well, I wanted to."

"You're too nice."

"And you're too cute." The blond pressed a kiss onto Jungkook's cheek, making his face light up.

"I'm not cute."

"Yes, you are."

"Am not."

"Are too-"

"Quit flirting and take the card already."

Jungkook turned to see Taehyung holding out two cards, one with Chim on the top and the other with Big Bunny.

"'Big Bunny'?" Jungkook asked.

"When you smile you look like a bunny, so." Taehyung waved a hand around as if it was obvious.

Jungkook's face stayed red as he took the card. Taehyung then turned to everyone and clapped his hands. "What first?"

"I vote for the arcade!" Hoseok yelled, gesturing to the room with flashing lights and confirming Jungkook's suspicions from earlier.

"I say we get food. Easier to enjoy yourself with a full stomach." Jin looked over at the counter with the menu. "Besides, I'm in the mood for pizza."

"I'm with Jin..." Namjoon muttered, eyes locked on the ground as he said it. Jin looked at him but averted his gaze once he realized he was staring.
