"Noona-- noona-- I wanted to ask you about something." Jungkook pulled you to a corner of the gym. "Jiminie hyung said something the other day."

"What'd he say?"

"You guys went to a hotel?" Jungkook's eyes were wide as he handed you a cupcake. You took it and began to peel away the liner. "You-- you guys went to a hotel together?"

"We didn't do anything, Koo, oh my gosh." He stared wide-eyed anyway. "I'm not trying to get pregnant, you know." He turned red.

"No! I didn't mean it like that!" You laughed at his innocence. "I was just-- you know, that's-- that's crazy, noona."

"The robotics team had a practice tournament," you explained. "Me and Jimin decided to go with them."

"Did they just let you do that?" You and Jungkook began to make your rounds around the gym, walking slowly. "You signed a form and then got on the bus even though you aren't on the team?"

"No form." His eyes widened again. "We just snuck in."

"Noona!"

"We're crazy, Kook." He nodded, agreeing as he stepped away for someone to walk past you. It was clear that the punch had been spiked. "It was a lot of fun though."

"What'd you do?"

You recapped your mini little getaway for Jungkook and he listened quietly with wide eyes. You even included your bruised shin story and he giggled. "Is it better now?"

"Yeah, it's almost gone." You bent down to show him. Jungkook grinned.

"Did hyung put ice on it for you?" he asked, wiggling his eyebrows. He reminded you a lot of Taehyng sometimes.

"He did, actually." Jngkook laughed. "It was cold."

"He wanted to help you!" Jungkook looked around. "Where'd hyung go? I saw you guys dancing."

"He said he was going to get me a cupcake." Jungkook smiled as you licked the icing off of your thumb from the one he'd brought you. "But anyway, Koo-- shouldn't you be hanging out with kids in your own grade?" 

His shoulders slumped. "You're embarrassed of me, aren't you, noona?"

"Koo-- I could never. I was just curious."

"Well, they're up on the stage, I think-- should I go join them?" 

You smiled. "You should have fun." 

He stomped his foot. "I'm having fun with you!" You laughed and gave him a shove in the shoulder as you sat down. Jimin was making his way over. "Okay, fine, since you want alone time with hyung, I'll go hang out with my other friends."

You rolled your eyes and he jogged away as Jimin sat down next to you with a groan. You handed him the wrapper of your other before taking the treat from him. He rolled his eyes and shoved the garbage into his pocket.

"What was that about?"

"What?"

"Jeon leaving." You smiled and watched Jungkook hop up onto the stage. A few girls visibly swooned.

"I told him to go hang out with his friends for a little while." Jimin nodded and stretched his arms. You turned a little, leaning your back against his shoulder as you ate your second cupcake. "You know, Lina told me about how she can't have a baby."
