On the House

Chapter Eleven

"How you guys feeling today?" Jungkook asked Jimin and Yoongi as they all walked into work the next evening. The other two groaned.

"I'm okay now," Yoongi said. "But this morning was definitely rough."

"Same," Jimin agreed. "Do you remember much?" he asked Yoongi.

Yoongi shook his head. "I remember dancing. I can't believe I did that."

Jungkook laughed. "You both danced great," he assured them.

"Um, so," Yoongi began, looking at Jungkook. "H-How was Namjoon last night? Did he get drunk, too?"

Jungkook shook his head. "He was driving, and had to take Hobi home. So, he just had a few drinks."

Yoongi groaned. "Great."

"Why do you ask, Yoongs?" Jimin asked slyly. Yoongi glared at him.

"I just hope I didn't make a fool out of myself in front of the whole bar."

"The whole bar, or just Namjoon?" Jungkook asked with a grin.

Yoongi rolled his eyes. "The whole bar," he reiterated.

"You didn't," Jungkook assured him. "In fact, you started the dance party."

"What?"

"Well, Jimin and Hobi started dancing first, but you got others to join them."

"How'd I do that?"

"But admonishing them when they were quite obviously judging Jimin and Hobi."

Jimin gasped. "They were judging us?" He groaned. "So, I made a fool out of myself?"

"Not at all," Jungkook said. "They didn't judge any more when they all joined in after Yoongs encouraged them to."

Yoongi blinked. "I did that?"

"Yup. You were pretty adamant that they leave your friends alone."

Yoongi sighed. "Well, at least I stood up for my friends."

Jungkook smiled. "Exactly."

"Thanks for that," Jimin told Yoongi. Yoongi shrugged.

"I don't remember it, but you're welcome."

Jungkook chuckled. "We all had a great time," he assured them. "Nothing happened that you need to be embarrassed about."

The other two breathed a sigh of relief. Yoongi still looked pensive, however.

"You're sure Namjoon was fine?" he asked quietly. "He wasn't, like, annoyed with or embarrassed by us?"

Jungkook shook his head. "No, in fact he danced with you guys."

"Really?"

"Yeah, sober. Surprising, isn't it?"

Yoongi rolled his eyes.

"He actually is the one who got you to dance, Yoongs."

Yoongi stared at Jungkook. "What?"

"Yeah, he insisted you dance with him."

"H-He did? And I did?"

"Well, you all danced beside each other. It wasn't really together. But yeah, he got you out there."

Pink began to creep across Yoongi's cheeks. "I'm so not a dancer," he muttered. "How embarrassing."

"Oh, don't worry about it," Jungkook said, waving a hand. "Namjoon is a terrible dancer. So, it's not like he was judging you."
