Fall (Bangtan Sonyeondan BTS Alternate Universe)

18. Eenie Meenie

J-Hope had come to sit next to me, explaining that he had found the flowers on a walk through the woods, and he had decided to bring them back to bring a little more life to the place.

I had smiled at that, because it felt that he was trying to truly be happy, bringing flowers in to help remind him of the beauty of life.

But then I had stared into his eyes, past the cheerful eye-smile, and I had realized that he was no better than before. The sadness was rotting his soul, but there was nothing I could do. I didn't want to scare him away or piss him off by saying anything. Instead I just gave him a sad smile, hoping to convey my concerns through that.

I don't know if he got it, but soon enough he was up dancing with Jimin, and I had to sit there sadly, my brain actually hurting from trying to think of a solution that didn't exist.

Of course, as soon as Suga and Star came back, they came tumbling over, Star dragging a sloth-like Suga like a ragdoll behind her, and I couldn't focus on anything anymore.

She seemed to have spotted me right away, and she plopped on the couch next to me, pulling Suga down with her.

Her eyes grinned into mine before moving down to stare at my collarbones.

Shit.

"I TOLD YOU IT WOULD HAPPEN! I TOLD YOU THAT YOU AND NAMJOON - I MEAN YOU HAD A BED, WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU DO?" She was screaming her head off, aggressively shaking my arms in excitement.

It wasn't in the bed....

I kept my face void, simply staring back at her.

"Who says it was Namjoon? Maybe it was Jungkook," I said, shrugging. I fought to resist staring at Namjoon as I spoke, figuring that that would probably give me away. Still, my eyes slipped over to him for a few seconds, letting myself indulge before I forced myself to look at Star.

"Please, Jungkook couldn't get that close to you, he'd probably faint," she said, smirking.

"Maybe it was Jimin," I responded without hesitation, nibbling the inside of my lip to hide my nervous excitement- Star had reminded me of what had happened, and now I couldn't get it out of my head.

"Jimin probably couldn't even reach your chest, nonetheless your neck," Star responded cooly, and I snorted a little, raising an eyebrow at her as if to tell her that she was one to talk about height.

She smacked my shoulder in mock anger, before raising her eyebrows back at me.

"Well maybe V decided I was too hot to resist," I said, brushing my hair from my face in faux pretentiousness.

"V's been gone all morning, so no," Star said, and I cursed in my head at her immediate answers.

"Fine, you got me. It was J-Hope," I said, smirking at her for good measure and grabbing his arm as he walked by.

"J-Hope wouldn't- well, he would. I don't have a specific reason for why it's not him, but I know it's not him," Star said, and J-Hope looked down at us confused, though he didn't pull his wrist from my grasp.

"What's not me?" He asked, his face scrunching up as he tried to figure out what we were talking about.

"Exactly," Star said, and J-Hope stared a little longer at us. I let go of his arm to hide a snort behind my hand, and he shook his head, walking away muttering something about 'stupid'.

"And who does that leave?" Star said smugly, winking at me and leaning against a now sleeping Suga.

How he falls asleep so fast, I have no idea. Maybe he just fakes it so people don't bother him. That actually seems like something he might do.
