A/N :

um so i was reading this book and tell me why the author wrote about jungkook playing with baby toys, and how he always wants to go to the park, and his "obsession" with Iron Man. WHAT THE FUCK. BRO I HAD TO STOP READING IT. WHY THE HELL ARE PEOPLE TREATING HIM LIKE A BABY. HE'S A GROWN MAN, 23 AT THAT. THEY SAID THAT THEY NEEDED TO "PROTECT HIS INNOCENCE". BITCH HE'S LIVED WITH 6 GROWN, IMMATURE, UNINNOCENT MEN FOR YEARS. HE IS NOT INNOCENT. OH MY FUCKING GOD. WHEW. thank you for coming to my ted talk, now we shall continue with the book.

"Hyung, do you think Jin would actually want us outside of the hospital?" Jimin shrugged with a careless look on his face. "I don't know, but we're already out of the hospital, and I'm the oldest here, so I say it's fine." Tae rolled his eyes at his lousy response. "You're only two months older than me." Jimin laughed as we walked through the grass making our way to the elderly home. "Keyword: older, and hey, you're older than Jungkook." I shook my head momentarily. "Do not drag me into this." 

We eventually made it to the old people home and they let us in, which was a surprise considering it was a private place.

 A/N : famous privilege *rolls eyes* anyways back to the book

------

We stopped in every room, talking to every patient, unless they were asleep of course. And with every elderly, we each gave them a kiss on the crown of their forehead wishing them luck for any condition they had. It was the most peaceful thing I had done in I don't know how long. Being an idol is hard, especially being in the most known group around the world, everyone knows who you are. It's a dream come true, but after you've reached the top, all you miss is being a normal person. With the elderly, they had no idea who we were, we were just people in their eyes.

 "Come on, let's go the next wing, we've gone through all of these rooms." I walked with the older two, and realized we had passed a room. "Wait, we missed a patient." 

I looked in and there was a woman who didn't look exactly old, she looked as if she could be in her early fifties, but the woman next to her was fairly young, not much older than me. She didn't notice I was looking in but I noticed who she was. That was the woman Jin brought here.

"I like her, keep her around." My smile faded but I wasn't upset. "You actually approve of her?" My voice trembled. As much as Namjoon and I tend to argue, he's still my bestfriend, and I value his opinion. "Yeah, she's kind, stable in her life, very pretty, smart, and really interested in you by the looks of it. I think you should shoot your shot, but I've got to use the bathroom, good luck." He gave me a small smile, and I gave him one back, as he walked out the door. 

I made my way to Hoseok and Amelia, watching them as they talked. Namjoon was right, she is kind, stable, pretty, smart, and I hope she's interested in me, because I think I really like her. To be honest, I thought I liked Mary, but I think I was just excited to have a friend outside of fame. I've never felt the way I feel towards Amelia towards Mary and I'm ok with that.

What is she doing here? "Why is Mary here? I thought she said she was staying back." I looked over at Jimin who was peering through the glass with Jungkook and I. "How did you find out her name? Did you talk to her?" He stepped away from the door to lean back on the wall across the narrow hall. "No, I heard Namjoon say it, and he was not very keen of her. But I don't think we should go in there while she's in there. Let's just go to the next wing." We all nodded our heads and walked the opposite direction of that room.
