The air outside was colder and way more humid than in the morning. It was different from other rather warm evenings in Austin, but maybe for the better-Jungkook needed to cool down a little.
If he had to look at Dean's face for a moment longer, Namjoon would surely need to hold him back. Even if Joon was angry as well, he wouldn't approve of such violence in a public family place and was probably the only one strong enough to actually stop Jungkook's punches. JK didn't want to look bad in Namjoon's eyes that's why he let go. Even though seeing Dean with a bitten face was pretty much a tempting image.
Instead, he took a few calming breaths, trying to forget this stupid conversation. He reached into the pocket of his jeans for a pack of cigarettes and sat on the small windowsill outside the place. He quickly cursed under his breath when it turned out that his lighter refused to cooperate. Fortunately, at that hour, many people were walking around the city center, entering bars and restaurants, and one of the passers-by was kind enough to lend him a lighter.
The taste of the cigarettes lifted his spirits a little, but not enough to make him forget about this hellish conversation. He thought that Joon's friends, whom he selected for the team, would be at least slightly more mature. And generally, they were; the rest of the boys seemed to be really nice. But of course, there had to be one completely dumb jock among them. Gosh, Jungkook hated such people and he have had enough of them. If it continued like this, JK would surely foul Dean during the not-so-friendly play. And it would not be by accident.
The cigarette burned out quickly, although it should have been the other way around. Each time he smoked alone on his balcony the time seemed to be stopped forever. So what has changed to make it pass so quickly just now?
He didn't feel like going back inside, but it was starting to get cold. And if Jungkook felt cold, it was cold for real. However, before he stood up, he heard a happy girlish laugh somewhere in the distance, and a moment later, he heard someone calling his name.
It turned out that most of the girls from the cheerleading squad suddenly appeared in front of the restaurant. In fact, he wasn't surprised that they came. One of the guys must have invited them, maybe even Namjoon himself. Since the team had a quality bonding time, the girls were also part of this team in a way. Maybe it was better that they wanted to join them-they could ease the tension a little. Jungkook just hoped that the rest of the evening would not turn out to be a festival of chauvinistic jokes provided by no one other than Dean. If so, JK would surely call it a night and go home.
Of course, Lisa and her friends were also present. They were a part of the cheerleader squad, so it was rather obvious they'd show up. Especially Lisa; she was the lead cheerleader and one of the most popular girls at school. She probably wouldn't miss an opportunity to go out with the team and the rest of the girls. Who didn't want to have a nice evening out?
