This fucking place and you

Dinner

The dinner went relatively smoothly, and I just focused on not looking Taehyung, Jhope, and especially Yoongi in the face, which unfortunately turned out to be a bit more difficult, as Hobi was sitting directly across from me and Taehyung, who was sitting next to me, kept throwing me suspicious looks. 

Only Jimin seemed to be the only one who didn't really feel the tension in the room. "And, how did you like the video, Yunai?" I turned slightly red, the food hovered in the air, just before my mouth. Slowly, I lowered my hand and looked up. "Oh, it was just... okay." 

Jimin giggled. "What you don't say. Your reaction, however, showed something completely different." My head snapped in his direction. "Wait, what?! Have you been watching me?" Jimin nodded contentedly. "Yep, when you started watching the other music videos, it got too boring for me, but I'm glad you like my 'music' so much." 

I turned a little bit redder. "Yes, exactly... The music was good." Quickly, I began eating again while Jimin quietly laughed and did the same. "What kind of videos?" Jin asked. "I introduced Yunai to a few of our solo songs." 

"And which videos did you show her?"", Hobi interjected into the conversation. "For example, 'Set me free Pt.2,'" said Jimin. „Oh..." I looked to the side. Taehyung's face slightly contorted. 

"And you thought the video was great, Yunai?" I swallowed. I was aware that Tae and Hobi already suspected that I was after other guys in the group. "Well, I..." Quickly, I glanced at Namjoon, but to my astonishment, he also seemed interested in my answer. 

Irritated, I looked at him, silently urging him to help me, but he said nothing. "The song is good, why shouldn't she like it?" Why are you all making such a big deal just because Jimin is dancing and singing half-naked in front of the camera?"

All eyes were on Yoongi. Visibly annoyed, he poked around in his food. My gaze wandered to his plate. It was still noticeably fuller than the others' plates. He looked up and our eyes met. I didn't know why, but each of our eye contacts became more intense the longer we looked into each other's eyes. 

No one looked away first until Jin cleared his throat and Taehyung deliberately dropped his cutlery onto the plate. I blinked quickly. Shit. 

"Of course she can listen to the music she wants," Jin said emphatically. No one replied to that, everyone just continued eating quietly until all the plates were empty. Even Yoongi had taken a few bites. I briefly smiled at him to show that I had noticed it. He just looked at me and then turned his gaze away again. 

Before I could think any further about him, Namjoon turned his words to me: "Yunai, are you already tired?" I looked at the clock. It was shortly after eight. Actually, I was used to very little sleep and only got tired relatively late in the evening, but when I thought about it more closely, I noticed this heavy drowsiness that made me yawn loudly. 

Jimin laughed briefly. This day had really taken a toll on me, so maybe I should just take the rare opportunity to go to bed early, and in a safe place at that, so I nodded to Namjoon. He smiled slightly. "Alright, you can go up first, I'll be right behind you." Hesitantly, I stood up. 

What did he mean by that? Why did he come right after? Didn't he sleep on the sofa again today? I discreetly cast him a questioning glance, but he merely responded with a small, emphatic nod upwards. I gave in, put my eating utensils in the sink, and slowly went upstairs. 

Arriving in Namjoon's room, I rinsed my mouth with water in the bathroom since I didn't have a toothbrush, quickly washed my face, and roughly combed my hair with my fingers. After that, I sat on his bed and waited.
