"YAH, THAT'S MINE!!" Jeongyeon yelled, trying her very best to protect her lamb skewers from her best friends, both of who were done with their share and were trying to steal hers. 

"Gguk, take from mine if you want," Taehyung said with a chuckle, amused at the way Jeongguk stayed stubborn at wanting to eat Jeongyeon's head off. 

"Nah, it's more fun riling her up," Jeongguk whispered in Taehyung's ear and got back to stealing from her plate when she turned to her side to beat Yoongi up for succeeding at eating one stolen skewer. 

"Yah, yah, let's not fight," Hoseok tried to cool Jeongyeon down when he noticed Yoongi's red arms (Jeongyeon was now busy beating Jeongguk up and Taehyung was busy trying to protect his boyfriend and Jimin was busy trying to save everyone from his girlfriend). 

Yoongi ignored Hoseok's words and ate up another skewer while she wasn't looking, exchanging a wink with Jeongguk, who was still getting beat up but noticed Yoongi stealing yet another one. 

"You don't even look sorry, I hate you!!" Jeongyeon shrieked and sat back, much to the relief of Taehyung, Jimin and Hoseok, but shot back up to her feet before they could even let a breath out. "ANOTHER ONE'S GONE!!" she sat back down with her features pulled up in a fake cry, and stomped both of her feet rapidly, making the entire table erupt in laughter at her misery. 

At that, she grabbed her final skewer and stomped away from them. She chose a table as far away from them as she could and sat down with a pout. Despite the restaurant ringing with her friends' thunderous laughter, she patiently ate her skewer (with the pout still on) and went back only after she was done. 

Jimin, out of them all, had to fight for breath. Still, he waved a waiter over and ordered another plate of skewers for her. All she had to do was sulk for him to present the entire world at her feet, after all. 

When the plate arrived, she went back to her table, dodging Yoongi and Jeongguk's hands as she did so, and settled after poking her tongue out at the two of them. 

"How exactly did we end up here, again?" Namjoon asked with a sigh. 

Seokjin let out a giggle, a hearty one that made others giggle as well. "I don't know. What I DO know, is that you are paying," he said and laughed harder at the betrayed expression Namjoon's face now sported. 

"Oh!! Then you guys can eat until your jeans button pops off," Taehyung commented and earned a nasty glare from Namjoon in return. 

"I was already planning on doing that, but now I'll make sure my zipper pops off too," Jeongguk said with a mischievous grin that he directed at Namjoon. 

Namjoon opened his mouth to say something sour, but before he could even get a syllable out, Jeongguk cut him off with an 'uhuh!!' Namjoon looked offended at the rude interruption, but everyone at the table knew it was a mock offence. 

"You are Namjoonie hyung now. Not Mr Kim. You can't bully me here," Jeongguk said smugly. "And I'm sure Jinnie hyung would make sure you wouldn't be able to walk for days if you try to bully me in front of him."

It had Namjoon choking and Seokjin cackling, not to mention the loud roar of laughter that suddenly boomed off the walls of the restaurant and made Jeongyeon curious enough to return to the table without minding her skewers getting stolen the second she set her plate down.  

"I'm pretty sure it kinda works the other way around, but I'm glad you think I top, Jeonggukie," Seokjin said and this time, it was Jeongguk who choked. 

Namjoon recovered after a few seconds and directed his shocked gaze at Jeongguk, who was still busy wheezing for breath. 

"I meant that you would break his legs, hyung," he said when he recovered as well. 

"Oh."

Both Seokjin and Namjoon turned redder than the piece of tomato that was served to them as a part of the salad that Namjoon had ordered for himself. 

"Okay, can we move on-"

"We do know who tops, anyway," Taehyung threw in casually, cutting his brother off. 

It didn't make the couple choke, but the expressions on their faces were enough to send the entire table rolling once again. 

"H-How?!" Seokjin asked.

"Umm, you know what, I don't wanna kno-"

"Of course you do," Jeongguk cut Namjoon off. It was his time to bully, after all. It was his time to shine. He wasn't about to let it go even if it meant the entire awkward-Namjoon story would repeat again. It was worth the reaction that he knew he was going to get if he revealed how all of them knew who topped in their relationship. 

"First of all, it's kinda obvious, and second....you guys were super loud the couple of times you had..uhmm...the thing at our house, and I might or might not have called Jeongie and Yoongs and stuck the phone to your door to let them in on the news as well."

It was weird for him to tell it out loud but it was still worth it. Namjoon looked like his eyes were going to roll out if given a second more. And Seokjin was busy hitting his head on the table. 

Taehyung took up from there. 

"And I know because I came to your apartment once for some reason, and of course you guys were loud again, I think you were right behind the door....against the wall and all...I left, of course, I wasn't going to be a cockblocker. Jiminie and Hobi know it from Jeongie and Yoongi."

"Okay," Namjoon said and stood up like none of the previous moments had occurred. "Have fun, kids. I need to walk my dog. See you later," he said and with that, he slammed his credit card down on the table with a meaningful look directed at Taehyung and hurried out with Seokjin, who suddenly remembered that he had to go and buy a belt for his pants. 

And they definitely did NOT hear the loud comment about how the belt could be used for something else as well.
