The Bangtan Chatroom [THE BTS CHATFIC]

┃CHAPTER 40┃

"WHAT THE FUCK?!"

Namjoon and Jin froze, their lips just inches apart, their flushed faces betraying the moment they had been caught. Both turned their heads in unison, their expressions filled with panic and embarrassment.

Standing at the doorway were the members, their faces a mix of amusement, shock, and horror.

Jin cleared his throat and shifted slightly, trying to appear unbothered while Namjoon scrambled to his feet, looking everywhere except at the other members.

"Uh... Sorry, sorry, sorry for our fault! We'll just keep our heads low~" Hoseok sang out a line from one of his songs, dramatically bowing as he suppressed a grin.

"Were we... interrupting something?" Taehyung asked, his tone innocent but his wide eyes filled with mischief. "We are so sorry, truly." He clasped his hands together as if in prayer, his lips twitching as he tried to hold back laughter.

"Someone close the maknaes' eyes!" Jimin shouted, covering Jungkook's face with his hands, though Jungkook playfully swatted him away.

"Why this sudden display of love for us, huh?" Yoongi deadpanned, crossing his arms. "What did we even do to deserve this?" He shot Namjoon a knowing glare, signaling with his eyes for him to get up and move.

Jin shoved Namjoon slightly, his cheeks still burning red as he turned to sit upright on the couch, looking everywhere but at the group. God, how did I let that happen? he thought, his mind replaying the moment that could have gone much further if the others hadn't barged in.

"Anyways, why are you guys here? Like, I don't remember you all talking about making plans to barge into my house like this. If I'd had prior notice, I would've mentally prepared myself," Namjoon muttered, finally standing up from the sofa—where things with Jin had been heading somewhere...

Yoongi, already making himself comfortable, placed the bags he'd brought on the dining table. "Someone said they were missing us, so we came to check out the situation—but instead, we saw something that will haunt my nightmares for years," he deadpanned, a faint smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.

"Namjoon-hyung has a karaoke setup?!" Taehyung exclaimed from the living room, his voice already filled with excitement. "OH HELL YES, WE'RE GONNA HAVE A BLAST TONIGHT!"

"Let's pick songs!" Jungkook added enthusiastically, already scrolling through the playlist with Jimin, their eyes sparkling with mischievous energy.

"Karaoke? Oh, I might rap a little," Hoseok chimed in, grinning as he wandered over to join the trio, his fingers drumming against the table in rhythm.

Meanwhile, Jin quietly walked over to Yoongi, helping him unpack the takeout containers. Jin had originally planned to cook for everyone, but Yoongi had insisted on ordering food.

"You need to have fun with us, hyung," Yoongi had said earlier, brushing off Jin's protests with a firm tone.

Now, Jin couldn't stop smiling, his hamster-like grin lighting up the room. "You're so stubborn sometimes," he teased Yoongi, his voice soft.

"And you love me for it," Yoongi replied, briefly glancing at Jin with that rare, tender expression he reserved for those he cared about.

"Wait... TONIGHT?! You guys are staying?" Namjoon's voice broke through the lively chatter as realization hit him like a brick wall.

Jungkook, ever the cheeky maknae, turned to Namjoon with wide, doe eyes. "Hyung~ You don't want us to stay? That's sooo cruel~"

Namjoon flinched, visibly weak against the puppy-like gaze. "N-No! That's not what I meant! I just—"
