"Come on, noona-- let's go get ice cream." You shook your head and dropped into your seat at the cafeteria. He stood in front of you and pouted. "Please? I want ice cream."

"Ice cream?" Taehyung asked, sitting next to you with both of your trays. 

Jungkook waved. "Hi, hyung."

"Hi, Jungkookie." Tae turned to you. "Are we going for ice cream?"

"No, we promised we'd help Joon finish his speech, remember?" Tae sighed. "You can help if you want, Koo."

Jungkook looked back at his table where Jimin was staring at you from. And then his eyes landed on the girls that seemed to now follow him around like groupies. He shuddered before turning back to you.

"Okay, noona."

He sat down on the other side of you and reached into his backpack for his lunch brought from home. You looked up to see his groupies staring at you with daggers. You gave them a wave and they stormed off towards the bathroom.

"Noona?" Jungkook asked as he chewed on his sushi. He offered you and Taehyung both to share and Taehyung gladly accepted. "Can you and hyung give me a ride after school again?"

"Today?" He nodded, mouth full. "I won't be with him but I can get him to give you a ride home, sure."

"Not home, noona-- Yoongi hyung's house." Tae looked up at this.

"You're going to Min's house?" he asked. Jungkook nodded and Tae reached into his bag for a piece of paper. "Can you give him this for me? I need him to fill it out to go to the tournament."

"For robotics, hyung?" Tae nodded and Jungkook stared at the paper. "Cool."

"Is that today?" you asked. "Your team's going to visit him?" Jungkook nodded.

"I thought you would come, noona."

"I can come," you said quickly. "Sure, Jimin and I will give you a ri--"

"Excuse me?" Jungkook and you both looked up as Taehyung occupied himself with a comic on his phone. You gave the girl a smile and nudged Jungkook in the shoulder. He pretended to be busy with his baby carrots.

"Hi," you said nicely.

"Are you Namjoon oppa's friend?" Jungkook's shoulders visibly relaxed and you sighed.

"No, I'm not giving you his phone nu--"

"Hey guys-- oh, hello, Jungkookie." Namjoon walked up to the table with a frown. "I only have one cookie again so I'm not sure how the three of you will sha--" He paused, bowing his head at the girl. She blushed. "I apologize-- I didn't mean to have interrupted you."

"I--It's okay." He smiled and took a seat, passing Jungkook the cookie. He took it with a giggle and attempted to break it into four.

"She's here to see you, Joon." Namjoon looked up from his laptop.

"Me?" He stood. "Oh, sorry again--"

"No, it's okay-- can I talk to you please?" He smiled and shook his head when Jungkook tried to offer him a quarter of the split cookie. The boy frowned at it before turning it around. The girl that had come for Joon smiled and accepted it, making Kook beam.

"We can head into the hallway if you'd like." She nodded and Joon sighed and led her out of the way.

"Where are they going, guys?"

"She's probably going to ask him to the dance," Taehyung sighed. "Or to prom."

"Woah." He turned back to look at Namjoon in the hallway. You could already see him declining politely. "He's so cool."
