~Jungkook's Point of View~

"Why are you here?"
She looked at me with piercing eyes, a look full of hatred and loathing.
"For you..." I answered, trembling under her harsh stare.
She let out a short laugh, even though there was nothing funny.
"Who said I wanted you here?" She grinned, without any warmth, more of a nasty snarl. She wrapped her arms around a guy; I couldn't see his face clearly. He turned, and I gasped.
"Don't you see Jungkook, you're not the one she wants," Suga smirked, pulling Sam close to him.
She gazed up at him and they shared a loving gaze, before turning back to face me.
"You were never the one I liked. Who would want you?" She laughed again, and Suga grinned evilly.
"Didn't you get it the first time I said it? If not, let me repeat... You mean nothing to me Jeon Jungkook, nothing.." She tucked a loose strand of her black hair behind her ear and faced Suga; I could see their lips getting closer and closer together...
"No! Sam! Please-" All I could hear was evil laughter; my head was spinning; "Sam PLEASE-"

I woke up with a start, my heart beating fast and a sheen of sweat across my forehead. It was just a dream...
I clicked my phone and squinted. 5:45am. I'd have to get up in a couple of hours anyway, so I just sat up and got out of bed, yawning and stretching my arms. I grabbed some paper and a pen, and quietly went downstairs and sat in the kitchen. I was in the mood to write some music, to compose a song. I let my mind come up with its own words and let my imagination take reign.

I yawned, and checked the time. 6:15am. Urgh, too early... Now that I was awake, I hopped out of bed and went to the bathroom, washing my face and brushing my hair, letting it fall loosely onto my shoulders. It was slightly chilly, I thought as I rubbed my arms. I spotted his hoodie on the bed. No one will see, so why not wear it? I pulled it over my head and hugged myself, feeling it's warmth and comfort. It was the closest thing to having Jungkook's own embrace. A tear ran down my cheek but I quickly brushed it away, and opened my door, tiptoeing very quietly downstairs.

~Jungkook's Point of View~

I sighed. My mind had gone blank all of a sudden; I ran my hands through my hair and rested my head on the table, my right cheek on its surface as I faced to the left, staring at the wall. Suddenly I heard the door softly open... To reveal her. She was in her pyjama shorts, but what shocked me was that she was in my hoodie... The one I lent her. I didn't expect it; my heart lifted just a little. I quickly snapped my eyes shut, pretending to be asleep.

~Sam's Point of View~

I stepped into the kitchen and went straight to the sink, filling a glass of water. I almost dropped it when I turned and saw someone resting on the table. His face was turned away from mine so I wasn't sure who it was, and the blinds were closed so the light was dim. I placed the glass on the table and walked around, taking a sharp intake of breath when I saw it was him. I don't know why but I sat down next to him, and observed his peaceful sleeping face; his eyes shut and mouth slightly ajar. I smiled, and without thinking placed my hand on his head, running my fingers gently through his silky black hair.
"Why are you doing this to me..." I whispered softly, knowing he wouldn't hear. My thumb gently stroked his cheek.
"Why did you ask me to be your girlfriend when you didn't mean it?" I said sadly, suppressing tears again. His hand was resting on the table - he'd taken off the bandage. There were scars on his knuckles and faint bruising, but it was fading.
I lightly ran my fingers over his knuckles, whispering, "Why did you do that, what made you so angry to punch something..."
I sighed, stood up and quietly walked out as to not wake him.

"Why did you ask me to be your girlfriend when you didn't mean it?"
Her words echoed in my mind. I waited a few moments to ensure she was gone before opening my eyes. I touched the side of my face where her hand had rested. Did she not believe me when I told her how I felt?

"Good morning Tae!" I grinned, opening his bedroom door and jumping onto his bed. He groaned at the movement and opened his eyes slightly. "Good morning Beth," He smiled, and I leaned over and kissed his forehead.
"Come on, get up now," I laughed, and he took my hand and said, "Just 5 more minutes..."
I pulled away and stood up.
"Nope, guess I'll just go find Rapmon instead then..." I teased, turning and walking towards the door. I heard him hastily get out of bed.
"No! I'm up I'm up!" He laughed, before ruffling my hair and going into the bathroom to freshen up. I smiled and walked downstairs. It was 10am - the boys could afford to sleep in today as they had evening photoshoots in the dark, so they didn't have to get up early to go to the studio.
"Morning, what's the plan for today?" I asked, making myself some coffee before sitting down next to Sam, who smiled at me.
"How about we just stay at home today?" Jimin yawned, stretching his arms out above his head.
"We could bring out the console, we can put the karaoke game in!" J-Hope said excitedly, and I perked up.
"That's a great idea!" I grinned, and he came over and high fived me.
"Alright then, we will!" Jin smiled.
I clapped my hands, and Sam grinned. "Sounds good!"

"How do we decide the partners?" Suga asked.
"Leave that to me..." Jimin smirked. He tapped on his phone for a few moments, before grinning. "Okay, I've got an app, I've entered all our names, and it will randomly generate pairs," He explained. We all nodded, and he tapped again.
"First up... Hoseok and I!" J-Hope cheered and patted Jimin on the back.
"Next pair... Beth and V, what a coincidence," Jimin said smugly.
"Then, Rapmonster and Jin... And the last pairing is Jungkook and Sam!" He finished off, looking pleased with himself. I looked around at her, and we made eye contact for a fraction of a second before she looked away.
"Yoongi Hyung you can do solos," Jimin joked, and Suga grinned. "I'll just watch, thanks!"

~Jimin's Point of View~

An idea occurred to me when Suga asked about the pairs, and I offered to sort it. I grabbed my phone, and placed it so that no one the others could see the screen, especially not Sam and Jungkook.
I pretended to tap some things for a while, then explained about an app... In actual fact I was staring at a blank screen. I just made up pairs on the spot - and made sure Sam and Jungkook were together, smiling when it wasn't questioned.

~Sam's Point of View~

Okay, I didn't show it, but I was happy to be with Jungkook.
We watched the others whilst laughing and cheering, whooping and clapping, and singing along. It was good fun, and we were all enjoying ourselves.
"Okay! Sam and Jungkook, you're up next!" Suga grinned. I was in a good mood, and just took the microphone from Jin who had just won against Namjoon.
"Good luck!" He laughed and winked at me, and I grinned.
"Yeah, but he's a professional," I whined, smiling to show I was joking. Jungkook just laughed. "Whatever."
He sort of gave me a funny look, but I couldn't quite understand it. I looked back to the screen, and concentrated on the music instead.

As it was on shuffle play, the game picked the songs. Ours was a slower one, more soulful. It happened a few times that I'd glance over at him and get distracted by his beautiful voice, before realising that I was mumbling into my own microphone before resuming my normal voice.
Once we'd finished, the others gave us a round of applause and compliments, but I could only look at him as he was staring at me. He'd won of course, but actually only by a small margin.
"That was... Really good," He said, and smiled. It was his genuine smile, that warmed my heart.
"Yeah.." I smiled back. It's a start.
