Little Flower

"One time for the present, two time for the past. Happy that we met each other, now 'til the very end." ~ My Time [BTS]

"YOU SUCK!" Yoongi shouts, throwing his cards down with a huff.

"Hand them over, boys," Jungkook grins, reaching into the middle and pulling all the chips his way.

Everyone was settled around the dining table playing poker, with the exception of Rosie who said she would prefer to watch as she snuggled into Jungkook's side. They were on their third round now, and Jin, Yoongi and Hobi were finally enjoying their beer after Taehyung said they could have one drink.

"Sneaky bastard," Yoongi huffs, tipping the drink back into his mouth.

"Language," Taehyung grumbles, his eyes widening as he catches the clock on the microwave. "Crap, is that the time?"

"Hm?" Jimin looked down at his watch and frowned when he saw it was just past midnight. "Did we overstay?"

"Uh...no," Taehyung smiles nervously and stands up. "I forgot I have a night class I need to get to."

"Alright, let's head out, boys," Jin says, standing up and collecting the cards.

"I didn't know you had a night class," Rosie pouts, hugging Jungkook's arm.

"Yeah, it's a last minute lab I signed up for," Taehyung says as he rushes to grab his jacket and keys. "Will you be alright, little flower?"

"Mhm," she stands up and hugs him tightly before pulling away. "Thank you for the best birthday ever, Taehyungie."

"You're welcome," he mirrored her smile and ruffled her hair. "Thank you guys for helping me set up today."

"It's no problem," Namjoon smiles, waving his hand nonchalantly. "Have fun at your class."

"Aw man, the drive back is gonna be a bitch," Yoongi groans, putting his hands behind his back to stretch.

"Well, I..." the boys look at Rosie curiously as she fiddles with her hands nervously. "I mean, you guys don't have to leave if you don't want to."

"Rosie," Jimin starts, but Yoongi had already thrown himself down onto the couch with a murmur that he was sleeping there.

"Hey, they can go to my house," Jungkook says with a teasing smile. "I don't live very far."

"I know, but..." her voice fails her as she grows shy, picking at the hem of her dress nervously.

How was she supposed to tell him that she wanted him to stay?

"Rosie," he lifts her head and bends down with a knowing grin. "I'll stay if you want me to."

"I want you to," she says in a rushed whisper, and he nodded with a small chuckle.

"Rosie, I don't mean to intrude too much, but is there a possibility I could have a change of clothes?" Jimin asks with a sheepish smile.

"Oh, mhm! I'll go get clothes from Taehyungie's room."

Once the girl was out of sight, Jimin's smile fell and he grabbed Jungkook's arm, dragging him back to the kitchen.
