We don't bite...promise?

"I'm so embarrassed!" Jungkook squeals, his voice muffled by the pillow he's screaming into.

Thank god for that pillow otherwise he would have raised the damn roof.

It had been provided by Jungkook's best friend Yugyeom - kudos to him for being so thoughtful. Yugyeom is always prepared to look out for Jungkook...except for those two times a month he literally goes M.I.A. Which by the way he still won't tell Jungkook what he's doing over those nights but that's not the current problem.

Yugyeom rolls his eyes, "It was just a fucking apple."

Jungkook stops smothering himself and sits up from where he's been splayed starfish style on Yugyeom's bed for the last hour.

"But he knows I didn't eat any of his food and probably thinks I'm some rude obnoxious kid."

I mean Jin absolutely doesn't think that. He would never even dream of it but Jungkook will always be an over thinker.

He sends Yugyeom a look of utter dejection.

Yugyeom crawls onto the bed, "Kook you're allowed to have bad days you know. I don't particularly like Jimin and Taehyung but I doubt them and their uh...relationships would judge you for having an-"

"Don't say the words."

Yugyeom stops and places a hand on Jungkook's shoulder.

"Sorry. But you know what I mean. Anyway, it was one dinner, you slipped up. You ate something today and that's fine. I'm proud of you just for that."

And Yugyeom means it. He is proud. He's always proud of Jungkook. Honestly he's proud of him even if he manages to make it into class on time.

"Thanks Gyeomie."

"Anytime Kook, so now that you've stopped the dramatics can we go downstairs? Hyung wanted to watch some dumb tv show with us."

Jungkook visually brightens at the mention of getting to spend time with Jaebum - nothing is more fun in his books. Except maybe sleeping for more than three hours a night. Oh how Jungkook would absolutely kill to flop into the fluffy blankets on his bed and just lie there for hours upon end...a guy can dream.

The two hop off the bed and down to the living room they go. Jaebum is waiting there patiently, blankets already set up on the sofas.

"There's my favourite puppy," Jaebum muses, "Feels like forever since we've seen you round here Jungkook-ah."

Yugyeom immediately settles into his place nestled into Jaebum's shoulder, "How come I'm not your favourite puppy? Jungkook is my friend."

Jaebum rolls his eyes, hand curling round Yugyeom to cuddle into him. There's something so impossibly domestic about the two Jungkook can't help but feel his heart swell.

Jungkook sits next to Yugyeom, blanket drawn around him as the show starts to play on the tv.

Everything is calm and quiet here.

Not so much at the Kim household.

"It's just weird."

"It's not weird."

"It totally is."

Jimin rolls his eyes, "Tae, my sweet darling Tae, my stupid stupid stupid adorable overthinking Taehyung. It's a coincidence and nothing more that both Jin and Namjoon know Jungkook and that we know him too. Do you think there's like some huge master plan for us to magically make friends with Jungkook for some ulterior motive or something?"

"Yes," Taehyung deadpans.

Jimin taps him on the nose, "Darling, what on earth could Namjoon and Jin hyung want with Kook. They're just friends with him for the sake of being friends."
