"So you'll come right, Jungkook?" 

Jungkook fidgeted under the five pairs of eyes gazing in his direction. He brought a hand up to pull on his ear as he swallowed thickly. "I-uh- I could ask my Hyung...I think he'll say yes" He mumbled shyly, feeling nervous under their gazes. Not that they were looking at him with a pressuring gaze, it was just that he didn't want to disappoint them.

"Oh, come on, it's my birthday! You have to be really persuasive when you ask him so he'll let you come" Hoseok spoke, his body buzzing with excitement. 

His birthday was this coming Friday and he had invited everyone over for a weekend sleepover since his parents would, sadly, be away for the weekend and he didn't want to be alone. His mother was a pilot and his father was a businessman. Both their jobs required them to be away from home quite frequently and unfortunately, one of these times just so happened to be on the weekend that Hoseok would celebrate his birthday. They didn't want to leave any more than Hoseok wanted them to, but they had given him permission to have his sleepover and promised him lots of gifts to make up for their absence. Of course, nothing could make up for them being gone on yet another birthday, but Hoseok didn't want them to feel bad when it really wasn't their fault, so he accepted their suggestion and was now very excited to have his friends over. 

"Calm down Hobi Hyung" Jimin spoke with a fond giggle as he looked at his buzzing friend. "I'm sure Jin Hyung will let him come but don't pressure him too much" Jimin added as he gently pried Jungkook's hand from his ear, realizing how nervous he actually was. He didn't want Jungkook to feel pressured into coming in fear of disappointing Hoseok., which he was sure was how he was feeling right now. 

"I'll do my best to convince him" Jungkook promised. Though he didn't really need to.

It turned out that Jin didn't really need much convincing. In fact, he was excited that Jungkook had been invited to his first-ever sleepover. His only concern was if JK was comfortable enough to go since he had seemed rather bashful when asking. Jungkook expressed that he was just nervous since Jimin would be there. He blushed when Jin's eyebrows did the worm rather suggestively. He was extremely pleased with how well things were going for Jungkook with not just Jimin but also his new friends. He had yet to meet them but he was sure they were wonderful people. He trusted Jungkook in their hands. 

On the night of the sleepover, Jin drove Jungkook to the destination, parking in front of the beautiful house. Jungkook's mouth fell open as he gaped up at the beautiful building. Hoseok lives here?

Jin looked over at him and chuckled at his awestruck face

Jin looked over at him and chuckled at his awestruck face. "You better head inside real quick before you start catching flies"

Jungkook pulled his jaw up from the ground and smiled sheepishly. He reached around the back to take up his bag and Hoseok's present before sighing and looking at the house again.

Jin, sensing how uneasy he seemed, reached out a hand to his shoulder, causing Jungkook to look at him. "You gonna be okay?" He asked in genuine concern. This would be Jungkook's first time away from him, so of course, he could understand Jungkook's hesitancy.
