"I know she'll come. She won't deny my invitation. Just have patience guys," Jungkook assured, his eyes searching the road for an invited soul.

The weather was cool and perfect. It was sunny yet soothing for the human surface to bear. A salsa warm breeze caressed the skin of the three boys including Jungkook and his two mates, Jimin and Taehyung. Sunlight gradually beamed perpendicularly as the clock struck midday.

Taehyung smacked, "Damn both of you are just the same. Late at every occasion."

"Shut up Tae if you don't want to get kicked in the ass," Jungkook snapped.

"Stop it guys. Jungkook why don't you try calling her once?" Jimin suggested while scrolling through his chatbox.

Jungkook fished his pocket for his phone but then he noticed a black Mercedes pushing its brakes at the parking zone. His long-awaiting moments seemed to get successful. A young lady stepped out of the expensive vehicle and strolled in his direction.

She was coated in a gorgeous red layered dress with thigh-high boots and a hairband bracing her locks. Her lip balm tinted edges appeared super glossy by the striking of the sunrays. She strolled to the boys and gave a bright beam, "Hey guys, hope the show hasn't started yet?"

"Nope but it will. Come on Let's hurry." Jimin grabbed her shoulders and pushed her inside the college campus.

Jungkook and Areum took their seats at one of the finest spots from where the stage was fully detectable whereas the other two boys headed to the backstage area after receiving luck from their friends since they both were participants in a drama that was about to play for the day.

Most of them hoped for a new era of conflict between Jimin and Taehyung because whenever they were merged for a task together, they absorbed the ultimate statuses of cat and dog, always picking up a fight for something or the other. Jungkook feared for the same to happen again as it would not only ruin the show but also it might infuriate the principal.

Jungkook bit his tower lip, waiting for the event to commence. Areum broke for a gossip, "Jungkook you've come to to a college fest, not for any murder investigation. Take it, easy boy. What's there to make faces as such?"

"I'm just a bit worried about Taehyung and Jimin," Jungkook sighed.

Areum cocked her brow, "Mmm?Why?"

"Hopefully they won't create a mess again. When we were in middle school, once they both were part of a play and they started shouting at one another in between the act. So you see they already have a record on this, that's what makes me bothered. Their friendship is as beautiful as roses yet roses do have spines right?" Jungkook pressed his edges as his eyes observed the large podium in front.

"But they've grown up now."

Jungkook answered, "They might have matured by their body structure, however, their brain age is still the same. I know them pretty well Areum." He shook his head.

Areum squeezed his hand and said while giving a soft smile, "Don't worry so much. They know what they are doing."

Jungkook let out a deep exhale as he smiled back at her. A few minutes later, the show began. At first, a group of students performed an opening song followed by a speech by the principal and the head of the college faculty. Next were some dance performances both solo and group ones.

The troop of the audience seated before the dais appeared to enjoy them a lot. Huge rounds of applause came up from the viewers at the end of each performance.

Areum laughed and slapped her hands together throwing away all other thoughts. This was probably the very first time that she was enjoying an event like this since she shifted to Seoul. It gave her immense joy to witness the happenings. Jungkook glanced on his side to watch the girl who was almost jumping on the cushioned chair because of her heavy waves of laughter when the drama finally took a ready start.

The name was 'The Comedy of errors' by William Shakesphere in which Jimin played the character of the lead role Antipholus of Syracuse and Taehyung was his servant Dromio younger. As the name suggests this play was an overall comedy play. So it was quite obvious that the hall was bound to crack every moment. Jungkook mumbled, "Wow both of them look pretty comfortable out there. Let's see how it goes." In the play, a scene came up when Antipholus and Dromio were supposed to have dinner with the wife of the elder brother of Antipholus. Jimin and Taehyung perched side by side to taste their meals. It was going on pretty smooth until Taehyung landed up behaving a little excess than what was actually required.

Jimin tried to act cool and motioned him to be a bit alert of his overacting skills. Taehyung didn't give it any concern. Instead, he secretly stuck out his tongue at the other. That was the moment when Jimin lost it to begin the debate. They both sounded quite unnatural, their dialogues seemed to be self-prepared, totally diverted from what the actual script said.

One of the spectators raised, "I do not remember reading these lines in the book. Is this the compilation of two or more plays or what?"

Jungkook now understood what was happening. Jimin and Taehyung were arguing in the attires of Antipholus and Dromio respectively. Jungkook gulped, "I knew this was supposed to happen." His head hung low as his cheeks heated up in frustration.

As the two were yet busy with their arguments, a minor female character abducted them backstage. The play then continued in its usual manner. In the conclusion, Areum resolved to take them to a restaurant for some special treat.

Areum sat abreast of Jungkook in the dine, facing the other two males in the opposite. The duo seemed mad at each other such that they were not ready to face one another at the very instant. They looked aside by tearing their gazes away from the table.

Jungkook heaved a sigh, "Guys, please. It's okay. Don't split yourselves over this aberration."

"It isn't a joke. I'm not at all convinced that he didn't do it intentionally. He was born to tease me after all," Jimin scowled, his forehead crinkled into a frown.

"That's called acting you idiot. I've other stuff to do rather than teasing you," Taehyung uttered while rolling his eyes.

Jimin darted at Taehyung, his iris were hardly visible through his angry slits, "Oh yeah, what was that huh? Did you forget the minute already when you stuck your filthy tongue at me? You jerk!"

"Yah you punk! That wasn't teasing alright. I was just trying to make some fun but who knew that you would take it for a high shot?" Taehyung arched his brows.

"But I wasn't ready for it. You weren't doing anything else other than making fun of me. Why don't you just accept it?" Jimin growled, his voice was reaching its shrill peak.

Taehyung deformed his edges, "Okay a freaking stupid as you can think that. Don't you think it was you for whom today's chaos took place?"

"No, it wasn't me. Not at all. You started it!"

While they were already in the middle of their second round, Jungkook aired, "Stop! I don't get it why you still need to argue over what's already gone!"

"That's not important if it's gone or still happening. The thing which matters is whose fault it is," Jimin declared.

Taehyung squealed, "Of course yours!"

"No," Areum finally entered the line, "it wasn't Jimin's fault. It was also not Taehyung's fault. In fact, both of you are responsible for this."
