Chapter Twenty-Five

"I think the acceptance letters to colleges are supposed to be out next week, and I'll be damned if I don't get into the same school as Hoseok, Jin, have you told us what schools you applied to? The application deadline for Seoul University hasn't passed yet, and I believe they have rolling admission. Which major would you like to pursue? Get your laptop, Hoseok, and let's see if Seoul University has what Jin wants to major in; if we get in, maybe we can convince him to join us there."

Although Jimin ranted away, Jin wasn't listening to a word he said, as he was busy finishing up the paper he had been given earlier. While he would normally wait until he was home to work on his schoolwork, it was late, and he was still hanging out with Jimin and Hoseok. He knew that if he didn't get started now, he would be up all night trying to accomplish it. He was surprised at himself that he was still awake, but having consumed four mugs of coffee had positively impacted his state of consciousness. The only thing left for him now was to get through the week and get some much-needed rest over the weekend.

"Jin, are you listening to us- oh hell, what are they doing here? Yoongi didn't tell me he was coming over tonight." Jimin stood up from his seat in the backyard when he spotted Yoongi, Jungkook, Taehyung, and another two guys that he couldn't recognize.

Jin's gaze followed Jimin's as the sliding door of the backyard was pushed open. Jungkook, Taehyung, and Yoongi came walking through with two others. Jin's eyes met Jungkook's briefly, and he smiled, but Jungkook glanced away, looking towards Jimin.

"My friends and I need the backyard," Jungkook said, looking at Jimin.

Jimin looked towards Jin and Hoseok, "come on, get your stuff, let's go inside; we can go to the living room."

"Are you seriously giving up the backyard to him?" Hoseok asked, annoyed, but Jimin glared at him, "not now, Hoseok, I will explain later, let's go. Jin, come on, baby, let's go."

While standing up, Jin kept looking at Jungkook, who didn't look back at him, which made him feel hurt; he couldn't believe it was the same Jungkook he had seen earlier that day and spent the night with.

"If it's not handsome Seokjin who has ignored me," Taehyung said as he walked over to Jin.

This draws Jin's eyes away from Jungkook as he stares at Taehyung, "hi, what are you talking about? I have not ignored you."

Taehyung pulled Jin into a hug, and though surprised, Jin returned his hug, "you smell amazing, and yes, you have been ignoring me; I called you several times, even with my mom, for you to tell her to thank you for the cookies. Now she thinks I am lying that you loved them."

Jin frowned and pulled away from Taehyung, taking his phone from his pocket, "can you call me now and let me see because that's weird? I haven't gotten any calls from you."

A chuckle leaves Taehyung, "I think I know what happened. Can you check if I am on your blocklist?"

"W-what? I never blocked you."

"I know, but I also know someone who might have," Taehyung spoke, turning to look at Jungkook, who had his back turned to them, talking to one of the guys they came with.

Jin was in disbelief when he found Taehyung's number in his blocklist, "wow, I-"

"Come swim with me, Jungkook." A voice let out, taking Jin's attention; Jin looked to see one of the guys stripping from his clothes and motioning for Jungkook to come with him in the pool.

He then witnessed a smirk on Jungkook's lips as he began walking over towards the guy.

"I-I should go inside Taehyung. I will call you later." Jin grabbed his stuff, ready to walk away when Taehyung held his hand. "Seokjin-"
