Episode 8: Run BTS

Drinking game: Take a shot every time there's a gay joke about Jungkook in this chapter

Kim Seokjin was an idiot.

Here he was, dancing like he was a stripper while Jimin tossed money at him. Jungkook was booing him and asking for Namjoon instead, and Taehyung was in the corner pretending he didn't exist. Namjoon was no where to be found, but Y/n knew he was probably upstairs reading (as always).

Jen had the camera crew inside the kitchen, recording Jin as he twerked on the top of the kitchen table. Jimin was cheering, his cheeks and eyes puffy. Yeaaaah, he had one too many drinks tonight. By one too many, Y/n meant he drank an entire bottle of champagne. By himself.

Taehyung began recording Jimin (Y/n hoped he'd use it as blackmail), but she decided to go up to Jin and join him. They only lived once, right? So she did an awkward kind-of exotic dance that involved her shaking her ass. Jimin cheered (and got a boner), Taehyung recording the entire event until Y/n was sure his poor phone's storage was dying.

Shortly after Y/n and Jin's performance, the music ended, and she hopped down and sat on a chair. The cameras zoomed in on her, and she did her best to resist the temptation to stare at the camera. Her eyes instead went to Jin, who had sweat dripping down the sides of his face. His cherry lips were parted, taking a sip from the water Jungkook got for him. Jungkook got nothing for Y/n because, as expected, he wanted to see her suffer. That was their friendship, after all. Jungkook teasing the shit out of her, and her doing it right back to him.

"I'm gonna go find Namjoon," Jungkook said, the others staring at him. "What?"

"You're a bigger simp than Jimin," Tae replied, causing the drunk Jimin to attempt to whack him. He missed.

"I'm a simp? Are we gonna talk about how you've been making eyes at Y/n and calling her 'princess' ever since the first elimination?" Jungkook asked. Oh shit. Jungkook's face was contorted with rage that wasn't from Taehyung. It was from the presence of cameras. Just like Yoongi, Jungkook was lashing out. Only he was lashing out in a different way. "What changed, huh? Why do you suddenly like Miss L/n?"

Okay, maybe Y/n was the simp. Hearing Jeon Jungkook call her 'Miss L/n' had her legs squeezing together and her eyes averting from the topic at hand. She pretended she wasn't fiddling with her fingers and gnawing on her lower lip. She wasn't sure if it was because of Jungkook's voice or the cameras crowding her. It was probably a mix of both.

Y/n figured that if she ignored something hard enough, it wouldn't exist, so she dipped out of the room before she could see the rest of the Taekook fight. They bickered like an old married couple. That made her frown. Yoongi and Jin bickered like an old married couple too, and Y/n found herself missing their dynamic. Whenever Yoongi approached Jin, there was always a little fight. Or, in some cases, a large one. Like the one that resulted in Yoongi's elimination.

Her frown increased as she trotted behind the stairs, preparing to go out back to the parking lot. She wished to see her sister as early as possible. If she could slip out and go visit while filming was wrapping up, she'd be happy. Jen gave her permission to leave early at the beginning of the shift. She gladly took the offer. However, she wasn't expecting company to come with her.

Right as she went to the back door, a pair of arms wrapped around her and caused her heart to melt inside her chest. He kissed her cheek and rubbed her waist, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "You really thought I'd let you do this alone?" Jimin mumbled, her chuckling at the aroma littering the corners of his mouth.

It was a bit concerning how much Jimin was drinking. Of course he adored alcohol, and Y/n respected that. However, this was different. He was drinking every day. Not to this extent, but sometimes he would go overboard. She wondered why, then realized they had been doing this whole "reality TV" thing for months. Hell, she wanted to start drinking because of the stress. She could only imagine how Jimin felt since he was doing this for the same reason she was: to save his family.
