As trainees, BTS had been complete for a few months now. There were six members, Taehyung being the youngest. Although he was only a few months younger than Jimin, he absolutely loved being considered the maknae of the group. He was spoiled by all of his hyungs and got his way more often than not simply for being the maknae.
And then Jungkook showed up.
A giant, doe-eyed 15 year old boy stood at their door too shy to introduce himself. The staff member who brought him introduced him and told them that he was a trainee the company had decided to put in BTS.
The members were excited to have a new member, but made the company promise that there wouldn't be any more surprise members. Seven felt like enough. The only one not entirely thrilled was Taehyung because this meant he wasn't the maknae anymore which was something he had taken great pride in. He didn't introduce himself to Jungkook as the others gave him a tour around the dorm. All he did was go to his room and sulk in his bed, telling himself how angry he was about this situation. I'm supposed to be the youngest. I didn't ask for him. I didn't ask for a little brother. I don't want to be a hyung. That's not my job.
Jin opened Taehyung's door, "And you'll be sharing a room with Taehyung." The oldest gestured for the new maknae to start unpacking and get comfortable. Taehyung shot up in bed. "Me?! Why do I have to share it?! Why can't he share with one of you?!"
"Because you two are the youngest," Jin replied. Taehyung tried fighting him on it but the oldest warned him about his attitude. Jungkook stood there biting his nails, not meaning to feel like an intruder.
"I'm sorry," Jungkook told Taehyung.
"It's nothing to be sorry for," Jin interjected, "He's just being cranky for some reason. Now I'll leave you two to bond now. Let us know if you need anything."
Once Jin left, Taehyung immediately started listing rules about not touching his stuff, staying quiet, etc. Jungkook sat on the spare bed that had been propped in the corner for a while now and nodded at all of the directions. He could sense that Taehyung wasn't giving him the same warm welcome that the rest of them had yet he couldn't figure out why. He was too shy to mention it.
Dinner that night was awkward. The members kept trying to ask Jungkook questions in order to get to know him more but Taehyung kept interrupting and turning the conversation to be about him instead. Namjoon had to warn him multiple times to stop doing that, and Taehyung got mad.
"Well why does the whole conversation have to be about him?" Taehyung gestured to Jungkook. The maknae felt his face flush red with embarrassment. He wasn't purposely trying to steal anyone's attention.
"He's new. We're trying to get to know him but that's proving difficult when you won't zip your mouth. Not everything has to be about you, Tae," Hobi replied. He rolled his eyes. He knew Taehyung was acting out on purpose.
"Not everything has to be about him either," Taehyung complained.
"There's nothing wrong with us asking him questions." Yoongi sipped his drink, unbothered by Taehyung's behavior. He could ignore it pretty easily, not caring if Taehyung got offended by it or not.
Without warning Taehyung got up and left the dinner table, stomping off to his room.
"I'll go see what's up." Hobi got up and chased after his dongsaeng.
Jungkook lowered his gaze to the floor. "I'm sorry if I did something to make him mad."
"You didn't do anything wrong," Yoongi replied. "He gets moody. You're fine." The rest of them continued on with dinner.
