.16.friends.

"Good morning, Sunshines!" Hoseok shouted, throwing the door open. The two boys flinched at the light. They didn't realize their position until Taehyung came up from behind Hoseok with a phone in his hand. From the shock and embarrassment, Namjoon nuzzled his head into Jin's shoulder without thinking. 

The four of them walked over to the kitchen, where Yoongi was sitting with a cup of coffee. "Mornin'," he said tiredly, sipping his drink. 

Jin looked over at Namjoon with a smirk on his face. "You seem pretty tired, Yoongi. Did you sleep okay last night?" The shorter male next to him chuckled quietly. Yoongi widened his eyes, blushing, and looked at his coffee again. "Don't worry about it," he mouthed and the other man nodded. 

"I'll see you guys later," Taehyung announced, grabbing his backpack and going out the door. 

Namjoon turned his head away from the door. "Where did he go?" 

"Oh!" Hoseok said. "Taehyung's a sophomore in high school. He should be home at around three," He grabbed four bowls and a box of cereal from the cupboard. "How did you two sleep? You seemed pretty comfy when I woke you up," 

Jin looked down at his cereal. "It was fine," he answered. Hoseok and Yoongi went to their living room to eat and leave the other two alone. 

"Is something wrong?" Namjoon asked, placing his hand onto Jin's knee. "You got quiet all of a sudden," he pointed out. 

Jin nodded. "I realize that I never said goodbye to Jungkook or Jimin. Or Bangcha- Oh my god! I never said anything about leaving to Bangchan," he panicked. 

"What's so special about Bangchan?" Namjoon questioned. 

Jin kept spooning up his cereal. "He might have had a crush on me while we were in Seoul," He said, blushing. "I feel bad about rejecting him and then moving away again," he explained. 

Namjoon sighed, feeling relieved that Jin rejected him. "Oh," he said. 

"Did you have any friends that you left behind? You never seemed to spend time with anyone other than Jackson," Jin questioned, trying to remember anyone else he might have known. 

The teal haired boy shook his head. "Until I met you, I didn't care about anyone else other than my family," he admitted, his face slightly red. "I didn't let myself make friends to keep people out of the 'business'," 

Jin nodded. "What makes me different?" 

"You looked at me without seeing Jackson," he said. "People don't do that,"

"I hate asking," Hoseok started. "But are you two dating?". Yoongi slapped him on the shoulder. 

Jin shook his head. "No, we're just friends," he said, not noticing Namjoon's changed expression. "If we were to try and get work around here, what do you suggest we do?" 

Yoongi stood up and took the bowls to the kitchen. "I think there's some openings at the store I work at. I could text my boss and ask him," he said, taking out his phone and texting what was assumed to be his boss.
