"You guys want soda?" Jimin asked, reaching into Taemin's fridge. It was the weekend and they were watching a horror movie which Jimin wasn't very fond of. He did appreciate hanging out with his friends though. It was a rainy September day and so he and his friends decided to stay in. It had been a few days since the retreat and Jimin already missed Jungkook.

"6 sodas boy!" Daniel yelled obnoxiously. Jimin laughed and grabbed six sodas. He heard one of them hit Daniel and smiled to himself. His friends were so goofy.

"Bro you yelled in my ear during the murder scene?! Do you know how scared I was?" Kite yelled and pushed Daniel away. Jimin laughed and came into the living room with 6 sodas.

"Both of you shut up," Taemin barked at them. Daniel rolled his eyes and focused on the movie. Jimin sat back down next to Taemin. A few minutes of silence passed and Jimin was content. The movie was scary though. To ignore it he thought of that night at the retreat again.

"So Jimin, what were you doing with Jungkook at 2 am?" Daniel asked in a teasing tone. Jimin gulped and looked at Daniel. He was really hoping he wouldn't interrogate him, but here he was being interrogated.

"I can barely hear over the rain. Shut up!" Kite exclaimed, shoving Daniel angrly. Jimin knew Kite was trying to cover for him which Jimin appreciated more than Kite knew.

"I was just asking Jimin a question. Shut up pussy," Daniel yelled back. He could see Kite turn red as he grabbed Daniel's collar. Kite looked like he was going to punch Daniel in the face. He didn't want them to fight over him.

"You're an asshole." Kite gritted his teeth in anger. Taemin was observing them. Jimin knew he was worried as well and would be prepared to separate the two if they ended up fighting.

"Jimin, what were you doing at 2 am huh?" Jimin glanced at Taemin who shook his head slightly. Jimin knew he shouldn't tell Daniel but what else could say.

"We were watching a movie." Jimin lied and looked at Kite who sighed. It wasn't looking good for him. He had nothing to say that would make sense for what he could've been doing. He didn't want Daniel to start ignoring him or bullying him because he thought he was gay or even worse telling his parents.

"Where! The fuck? That doesn't even make sense. Stop lying, tell me the truth, Park Jimin!" Daniel spoke fast and that's how you know he was getting upset. Jimin hated to lie to his friend but he had to protect himself.

"Shut up! Who cares anyway?" Taemin interrupted Daniel abruptly. Jimin looked at Daniel then back At Taemin. When did Taemin figure it out? Did Kite and Taemin both know?

"Fine. I guess you guys were making out then. Couple of sissys." Daniel huffed and crossed his arms angrily. Kite ignored him and so did Taemin and Jimin figured he should as well but it was hard doing so. He just called him a slur, again.

"Watch the movie," Kite demanded in a monotone voice. He saw Daniel gulp and they all focused back on the movie.

It had been three whole months since he'd seen Jungkook. 3 months. Jimin screamed into his pillow with anger and banged his head. He tried going places he would usually see Jungkook but he had no luck. He was exhausted and most of all sad. He wished he went to his school so they could see each other. It was wishful thinking though. Christmas was coming up and he didn't have Jungkook's phone number so they could exchange gifts either. It drove him crazy.

Jimin sat up and glanced outside at the snow that fell two nights before and was now melting. Just then an idea sparked into his mind. He could go shopping to uplift his spirits. Jimin always loved shopping. If he was ever down in the dumps all he needed to do was buy something. He decided he'd go without his friends so he could shop in both the men's and women's section without their judgement.
