Say Yes!

You Kiss One Side, I'll Kiss the Other

Jin stared off into the space where Byulyi had formerly been before she ran upstairs. He blinked before he awkwardly scratched the back of his head. He supposed he should follow her up and stop her from doing something stupid.

He was on the next flight of stairs when his phone rang.

Yoongi: (skeptical and exasperated) Jin, why was Moonbyul getting me to play pocky with her?

Jin: (sighed) She was trying to prove a point.

Yoongi: Well, tell her to stop. Jennie was getting mad at me.

In the background, Jin could hear two voices arguing. He picked up on Byulyi's deep tone and assumed the other shrill one was Jennie's.

Jin: It's just a game. Why would she be mad?

A few seconds of silence filled the air.

Yoongi: You don't know the game, do you?

Jin: No.

Yoongi: For someone as smart as you, you sure were dense.

Jin: (annoyed) Just tell me how.

Yoongi: You play that game to kiss someone through the stick. Why else would my girlfriend be mad?

Jin: ...You were supposed to kiss the stick?

Yoongi: You absolutely had no idea, did you?

Jin: No.

Yoongi: (clicked his tongue) Tell your girlfriend to stop bothering me. Before Jennie shaves her eyebrows off.

Jin: Where are you?

The impulse to run after the call came to Jin. But first, there was something he needed to get.

In an empty and unused classroom, in the middle of strewn chairs and desks, two young women stood face to face. Jennie folded her hands across her chest with a huff.

Jennie: I'm telling you to back off Moon Byul Yi.

Byulyi: And I'm telling you to back off Kim Jennie.

Jennie: Go find Seokjin or something.

Byulyi: He doesn't want to play with me.

Jennie: And that's my problem because?

Byulyi: Because I need Suga to play with me.

Yoongi hopped off the teacher's desk and ambled next to Jennie with a loud sigh. He dragged his palm across his face.

Yoongi: Moonbyul. Just drop it.

Byulyi: Ah come on, just one bite. Our noses wouldn't even touch.

Jin: Byulyi-ah.

She whipped her head around at the sound of his voice. She had to remind herself that she was pissed at him and to ignore how his hair still looked perfect even though it looked like a storm had blown through it.

Jennie's frown tightened just as the hands across her arms did. Yoongi placed an arm across her shoulders and slightly pulled her towards him to soothe her. He was already thinking of how he was going to have to cheer her up with milk ice cream.
