.Jungkook.

Should I have said that to Jin hyung? Jiminie hyung said not to talk about my family unless it's with someone I trust. He told me that talking about my dad specifically is something that I shouldn't do often. Jimin knows what's best for me, he knows me better than I do. Even though I've wanted to before, I couldn't hate him if I tried.

I love Jiminie hyung... I love Namjoonie hyung... I love Hoseokie hyung but... Jin hyung makes me feel more than love... I don't like saying that, I don't want to betray Jiminie or Taehyungie.

But Jin hyung. He smells like dad. He feels like dad. I love him like I loved dad. When I was little, I would wake up in the middle of the night and run to my parent's room whenever my mom was still at work, and I'd cuddle dad until he woke up for work.

And doing the same to Jin hyung... it felt the exact same... Even when he woke up and complained, dad would do that. Saying that he'd never be able to get up if I didn't let him go because I was getting so heavy.

Jin hyung even has the same dialect as dad, he even pronounces my name the exact same. Having him around... talking about dad doesn't make me as sad anymore...

"Kookie, you doing alright?" Jimin waved his hand in my face. I quickly looked up and over at him with a soft smile and nod. We were sitting together while rehearsing music for our concert in a few weeks.

Taehyung softly smoothed out the back of my hair, "You've been really quiet today. Are you sure you're okay?" I turned his way and nodded as well.

"I don't know, I ignored it in our other classes, and even during lunch, but you never zone out during choir. You love singing more than you love me," Jimin giggled. I looked down at my lap shyly, fidgeting with my lyric sheet, "Even after Namjoon hyung texted that he, Hoseok, and Yoongi wouldn't be attending lunch with us. Usually, you're wide eyed and attentive, looking for them. This isn't like you..."

"I'm okay, hyungie." I gave him a toothy smile, in which he returned.

"I don't believe you," Taehyung sighed, his hand settling on the back of my neck, "Something happened with Jin hyung this morning. He asked that all of us meet at his house after school, and then you come to school all weird and stuck in your head. What happened, Kookie?"

"Don't force it out of him, Tae." Jimin nudged his leg with his shoe.

"Maybe we can ask Jin. He's been watching Kook like a hawk," I looked over at Jin hyung's empty chair that was across from me in our square shape, "If he has a thing for him-"

"Don't even continue that," Jin's voice erupted as he returned to our group after his bathroom trip. I instantly smiled upon watching his approaching figure, "What the hell made you even wonder that?"

"You've been watching Jungkook our entire class. And he's been zoned out all day. You invite all of us to your house, and he's acting weird. There must be some semblance here." Taehyung crossed his arms.

"There may be," Jin nodded, "All your questions will be answered when you get there."

I couldn't take my eyes away from him. It was like my dad had reincarnated into a student at my high school. I've sensed this from him before, but chose not to talk about or think of my dad because of how emotional it makes me. Jiminie hyung tells me not to get emotional in school so people aren't mean to me. But he cares for all of my friends so well, he feeds us, protects us... he loves us.

"See there he goes again, what have you done to him hyung?" Taehyung turned to Jin, raising his voice in frustration.

"Don't yell at him," I snapped without even thinking about it. All three of them turned to face me, "S-sorry... I said I'm okay..." I just blinked awkwardly until I was staring at my lap again. Until Jimin's hand settled on my knee. I looked up to see him nodding towards the door. We both stood and I took his hand and followed him until we were outside the classroom door.
