chapter thirteen [|dis|grace]

'Slut.'

'Whore.'

'Fat ass!'

'Bit-!'

The voices rose in volume as I rounded the corner, peeking into the room a few doors down from my own. I mindlessly chewed on a granola bar, my wet hair braided into two ends, dampening the large white shirt I managed to find.

Minji sat with her back facing the door, her arms crossing her chest but her expression was hidden away from me. Everyone else had scattered around the room on the bed or floor, intently staring at her as she continued to mumble angrily under her breath.

'Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?' A voice sounded behind me, startling my awareness as someone else took a bite from the bar I had in my hand.

'Ji-U, when did you get here?' Minji spun around quickly, eyeing the person who had taken another bite from my breakfast, looking at me innocently but breaking out into a sly smirk moments after.

'I-I heard you guys from down the hall.' I answered back without breaking my gaze from the casually dressed rascal.

Snorting, Yoongi rolled his eyes and turned away from us in disbelief, obviously still riled up from the previous argument that occurred before Taehyung's and my arrival.

'I'm sure Taehyung will even agree with me on this one.'

Taehyung slipped past me, his hands moving my waist out of the way while still chewing on his food with a bemused facial expression.

'Agree on what?'

'That Minji would lose in a fight between her and Mi-na.' Jungkook piped into the conversation between the rather heated staring between the short tempered girl and Yoongi.

'All of you whiny bitches can shove it up y-' Taking off one of her slippers, she hurled it at Jungkook who managed to dodge it with a laugh.

'Hey, it's too early for all this cursing, Ji-U still has virgin ears.' He drew out the word in a condescending tone, lightly cuffing his hands over my ears to block out the noise in the room before snickering.

'Taehyung isn't tonight...?' Dropping a pillow, Jin spoke up, followed by the curious stares of everyone else in the room.

'Is she ready for that, I mean...I don't know...' Nervously, Minji rubbed the nape of her neck in uncertainty, flickering her eyes between Taehyung and I.

'What's tonight?' I spoke in a confused manner, trying to conjure up any ideas of what they might be talking about. Turning towards Taehyung, he merely smiled and took one last bite of the granola bar before exiting.

'What's tonight?' I repeated my question but instead directed it towards everyone in the room.

They all looked at one another with a frightful glint in their eyes, refusing to make eye contact with myself. I was beginning to feel nervous with the silence that was brought upon us all. Finally, Jimin stuttered out the truth.

'Tonight's a half moon. Last night there was a meeting called for all of us to attend and well...'

'And?' Knitting my brows, I tried to grasp onto what he was implying.

'The council, including his uncle and sister, were well pissed that he hasn't found a formal heir yet. So, instead of calling meetings 24/7, the elders have decided to send his sister to stay here and live with us to 'supervise.''

'I don't understand, what exactly is there to watch over?'

Jimin opened his mouth to respond, but no words escaped his lips. He seemed to continually struggle with his own thoughts while Yoongi spoke for him.
