37. Thirty Seven

"Hey Yoongi" Jimin greeted when he entered the house.

They had planned a study session together since they're in the same year. The final exams were nearing and they needed to score well if they wanted to be accepted in the colleges they'll apply to.

Jimin had extra pressure on his shoulders because he was determined on getting a scholarship too. He spent most of his free mornings studying for this and he wasn't going to let anything distract him at this point.

Not even the fiasco with Jungkook.

It's been about a week and a half since he was kicked out of the groupchat. Jimin tried to talk to him and reassure him that Tae will come around once he calms down a little, that he'll listen if he tries to reach out. But they've both been ignoring each other ever since. Children truly.

Jungkook duely apologized to each of the others in their private chats, talking their feelings through and sorting their differences. He began with Yoongi, promising to make it up to him. Jin and Namjoon were the most understanding despite how hostile Jin sounded in the chat, they've seen Jungkook almost everyday since.

Hoseok was still a bit angry with him though, but it's mostly because he's someone who cares deeply, and he was very hurt by Jungkook's nonchalance towards him. He still hasn't opened up completely to the taller but he's getting there.

"Hi Jimin" Yoongi said as he walked back to his room.

"Is namjoon here?"

"Yeah, he's going out with Jin in a bit. It'll be quite for us to study" he informed, making Jimin hum in acknowledgement.

"Hey Chimmy Chim! How is it going" Namjoon joked. It looked like he was in a great mood.

"Good how are you!" He smiled, doing a quick handshake with him and Jin.

"Doing fine, we're gonna leave in a bit so you two can work hard" Namjoon said and grabbed his shoes.

"Make sure he doesn't spend his time watching YouTube videos" Jin chuckled as he ruffled Yoongi's already messy hair.

"I'm not you" the other grumbled.

"Maybe that's cause I pay enough attention in class that I don't need extra hours" Jin boasted.

"Okay you're insulting both of us now" Jimin replied.

"And what are you gonna do, call Jungkook?" Jin joked.

The topic wasn't as touchy anymore, at least not amongst them. When Tae was around it was another story. Things were slowly getting back to normal, this Friday night wasn't nearly as awkward even if Jungkook wasn't there.

"Come on let's not act as if Jeon has better comebacks than me" Jimin rolled his eyes, he would like to get some credit too.

"He doesn't, but if things escalate you can't do a thing on you own shorty" Namjoon teased.

"Where's hobi? I thought he was gonna go with you" Yoongi asked in the middle of the laughter.

"Yeah he's gonna pick us up" Jin replied.

Suddenly a honk was heard from outside the window, they opened the glass and waved at the young boy in the car.

"Get in losers, we're going shopping!" He quoted with a bright smile.

What a good day, Jimin thought to himself.

"Alright guys, we're off. Study well!" Namjoon last said as he walked out the front door and into the parked car.

"Okay let's do this" Yoongi announced and sat down by the low table. Jimin put a cushion on the ground as well and laid out his books and reading material.
