A "Little" Surprise

I Know

~•~

"You took the photos?" Sihyuk asked Namjoon and Jungkook as soon as they entered the dorm.

Namjoon nodded. "Sejin nim suggested that we wait and post them tomorrow, so we don't arouse suspicion of anyone who might be monitoring our socials."

"That makes sense. Where is Sejin, anyway?" Sihyuk looked to the doorway behind Namjoon, brow furrowing in confusion when he didn't see him.

"He dropped us off and headed home," Namjoon explained, as Jungkook toed off his shoes and drifted down the hall towards the living room, seeking out his hyungies. "Told me to tell you that he's going to call SK Telecom tomorrow morning about getting Jungkook a new phone number."

Sihyuk nodded approvingly as he slipped on his shoes. "That's a good idea."

"Are you leaving now?" Namjoon asked, not wanting to be rude, but anxious to rejoin his boyfriends.

"I'll head home now," Sihyuk agreed with a chuckle, no doubt reading his thoughts. "Have a nice night, Namjoon ah."

"Have a nice night, Sihyuk nim," Namjoon bowed as the elder man let himself out, before straightening up and flat out running towards the living room, remembering to lock the door behind Sihyuk at the last second.

"Appa!" Jungkook looked up from where he was sitting on the carpet with their other boyfriends when Namjoon entered the room. A wide, toothy grin spread across the maknae's face, and he waved both hands excitedly at his hyung. "Come! Come! We're gonna make braces-lets!"

"You're going to make bracelets?" Namjoon corrected gently, taking a seat next to Taehyung and leaning against him comfortably. "That sounds like so much fun!"

"Seok ah went to get his bead kit," Yoongi explained, nodding towards the empty spot in their little circle.

"We thought it would be a good way to relax," Jimin added. "After everything that's happened today."

"Here we go!" Hoseok cheered, skipping into the room with his giant tray of multicolored beads and string.

Jungkook clapped his hands gleefully, his doe eyes sparkling with unrestrained wonder as they tracked Hoseok's movements as the rapper sat down. "Can play now?" he asked hopefully, looking around for permission to reach out for the beautiful beads. "Koo can play? Hyungies, too?"

"That's right!" Jimin beamed as he reached out for the thread, handing one end to Jungkook. "Alright, Kookie, can you pull really fast for me?" he asked, nodding approvingly as Jungkook unwound an obnoxious length of thread; the maknae watching in awe as the tiny spool kept giving and giving more thread into his hands.

"I think that's long enough, bun," Yoongi chuckled, once Jungkook had amassed a small pile of translucent thread in his lap. "Now we have to cut it-" he turned to the kit, brow furrowing in confusion when he couldn't find the large pair of neon orange scissors Hoseok always kept with his bracelet making supplies. "Did you lose your scissors, Seok?"

"Did I?" Hoseok looked down at his kit, momentarily perplexed, before his eyes widened in realization and a faint blush spread across his face. " Oh , right..."

"I took them a few months ago," Namjoon said quietly. "Back when... you know..."

Yoongi's mouth dropped open slightly as he understood, an indecipherable emotion flickering darkly to life in his eyes. They hadn't talked about that night in a while, and he had foolishly assumed they'd put it behind them. He wasn't mad , perse, he knew his boyfriends were just concerned about him, but it was frustrating that they thought he still couldn't be trusted....
