Mistakes Were Made

Returning to the living room, Anastasia found that there was still a free spot on the 3 seater couch, Namjoon, Seokjin, and Jimin all sitting on the floor with Taehyung on the armrest, leaning into Jungkook's side. However, the free seat was between Jungkook and Yoongi and if Yoongi was upset, she didn't want to make it worse by sitting next to him. So she opted to sit on the floor and lean back against Jungkook's legs. She made a mental note to apologize to Yoongi the next day without everyone around.

She hadn't even settled all the way down before Hoseok called out to everyone to come and eat. Since when was he the host? Feeling a little embarrassed about slacking on her duty as hostess, she slumps down, hunching her shoulders. Just because she didn't like them didn't mean she had to stoop to their level and be rude. Her parents raised her better, she should've been the one handing out the food.

Taehyung was the first up, practically vaulting off Jungkook as he darted to the table. Jimin wasn't far behind, followed closely by the others. Only she and Seokjin didn't immediately move, taking their time to get up. He offered her a hand and she gave a shy 'thanks' in return.

Dinner passed with high energy and lots of chatting, but most of what was said was in Korean. It brought an odd sense of relief to her as she was left to her own thoughts.

Eventually, they migrated back to the couch to watch movies, somehow fitting five people on the couch, leaving Taehyung, Namjoon, and her to sit on the floor. Jungkook had offered her his seat, but she'd declined.

Although the earlier tension with Taehyung had been somewhat relieved, she was still cautious as she lowered herself to the floor next to him, using Jungkook's knee as an aid. Settling in against Jungkook's legs again, she was pleased to find that there was still a happy amount of space between her shoulder and Taehyung's.

He must have noticed her hesitance and nervous glances, because he smirked flirtatiously. It was the same smirk she'd noticed on Jimin's lips a few times — like they had a secret that no one else was in on. Her face burned.

"You don't have any classes tomorrow, right?" Jungkook asked randomly when Yoongi reached out for the remote to pick out a movie, pulling her from my thoughts.

A quick glance around had showed her that most of the guy's heads were inclined curiosly towards her like they'd been the ones to ask the question. These men were too nosy for their own good.

"Uh, no, I don't, but I have a lot of homework to get done so I'm gonna spend my day doing that," She answered, shooting down any plans he might've wanted to make, proud that she hadn't stuttered with all the attention that was now on her.

He hummed, pouting a bit, "Are you still having trouble with your thesis?"

Her jaw clenched because partially, yes, she was still having trouble, but also Jungkook had no filter and just blabbed to everyone that she was struggling with her schoolwork!

"You know, Namjoon is really smart, he could help you," Hoseok offered, butting in.

Namjoon looked up from his phone at the sound of his name. "Huh?" There were some snickers at the irony.

'Really smart', how smart could the guy be? He looked around her age and college wasn't a know-all situation, there were so many different majors and so much more to learn.

"Nothing, really, it's—"

"Anastasia was wondering if you could help her with her thesis," Taehyung cut her off.
