Skit: Circle Room Talk

April 24, 2011

Arin, Seokjin, Yoongi, Hoseok, and Namjoon, all pre-existing trainees, approached the new trainee, Jungkook, with smiles. 

"Welcome to the family! I'm Hoseok, what's your name?" Hoseok introduced brightly, extending his hand.

Jungkook shook the older boy's hand. "It's nice to meet you Hoseok-ssi. I'm Jungkook," Jungkook replied, his voice a little shaky.

Hoseok chuckled for a moment before saying, "There's no need to talk so formally...you look younger than me, so just call me hyung." 

Jungkook apologized, "Sorry hyung." 

Hoseok mumbled an 'it's okay' before Namjoon cut in.

"Hi, Jungkook, I'm Namjoon and I'm 17," Namjoon introduced. 

Arin added, "And I'm Arin. I'm 17 too!" 

"Hello, hyung and noona. I-I'm 14." Jungkook's cheeks flushed a deep shade of red as he revealed his age.

The older members were taken aback, their eyes wide with surprise. They had figured that Jungkook was quite young from his baby-ish appearance but when he revealed that he was only fourteen, they couldn't believe their ears.

"You're only 14?" Seokjin exclaimed, his voice filled with disbelief.

Jungkook nodded, his face turning even redder. "Don't worry," Seokjin said, patting the newbie on the shoulder. "Age doesn't matter. What matters is your talent and your determination."

Jungkook looked up at Seokjin. He was grateful for the older members' support and encouragement.

"By the way, my name's Kim Seokjin. I'm the oldest among the trainees," Seokjin continued. 

"Yeah, he's an old man," Yoongi said, breaking his own silence. "I'm Yoongi. I may look like a mean person but I swear, I'm not. My face is just like that," he said, a big gummy smile on his face.

Arin responded to him, "You'll be nice to him, I know. You only pick on me." Yoongi grumbled and cursed under his breath but unfortunately, Arin heard him. They both started bickering.

In the meanwhile, the other members ignored their quarrel and continued to talk to the young boy, each sharing a little bit about their personalities and aspirations. Jungkook listened intently, taking in all the information.

After a bit of small talk, Namjoon cleared his throat. "Now that we've all introduced each other to Jungkook, how about getting to know each other better?" 

He suggested a game of truth or dare, a classic icebreaker activity. The members were immediately excited, their faces lighting up with anticipation. Arin and Yoongi forgot their argument immediately and got ready to play.

Jungkook hesitated, unsure if he wanted to participate. He was still feeling a bit out of place. But seeing the enthusiasm in the others' eyes, he decided to join in.

The game was filled with laughter and surprises. Arin revealed her fear of heights, while Seokjin confessed his love for cooking and food. Yoongi admitted to being a big fan of basketball. Hoseok shared his past of being a part of a dance crew called 'Neuron', while Namjoon disclosed that he was among the top one percent in his high school. Jungkook announced that he was quite good at drawing.

As the game progressed, Jungkook felt more and more comfortable with the group. He realized that they were all just regular people with their own quirks and imperfections.

By the end of the night, Jungkook felt like he had made new friends. He was excited to be on this journey with them, knowing that they would support and encourage each other every step of the way.

A/N: Just a new and short chapter. It shows the first meeting of JK with the other 5 trainees.
