After a long day at the cafe, we got home to the boys playing video games.

Today was his fifth day home. Two more days before he leaves. Not that I'm counting or anything...ugh Y/N stop taking to yourself. Even if it's just in your head, stop, I thought.

Jimin came behind me and tapped my head with his knuckles. I flinched and turned to him.

"Join us?" he asks.

"For?"

"Family game night," he said casually.

"Sounds fun," I said following him to the living room.

"I invited EunBi over too," said Jihyun as he leads her into the room.

"Hello," she said politely.

"Let's split into groups," said Mr. Park.

"I want to be with EunBi," Jihyun says childishly.

"No we're drawing sticks to be fair," said Jimin.

"Awww okay," Jihyun pouted.

EunBi giggled at his reaction. She sat next to me and pulled out a random stick from Mr. Park's hand and so did I.

"Okay now everybody show your sticks," Mr. Park says.

We all held out our sticks and unexpectedly read the numbers all at once. We looked at each other and laughed at how unorganized but cute the reaction was.

"Okay I'll go first," said Jihyun.

"Number two," he said looking at EunBi who didn't react.

"That's me," Jimin replied.

"Awwww why?" Jihyun sulked.

"Jihyun-ah it's okay. There's still the next round," said Mrs. Park softly.

"Then how about EunBi go next," said Mr. Park kindly.

"Ye, I have number one," she states.

"Oh, then you're my partner," I said smiling.

"Then that means you're with me hunny," said Mr. Park to Mrs. Park.

"How cute," I whispered to EunBi while smiling brightly.

We started playing card games. At first we were pretty cool about it but then it started getting competitive.

"Jimin you're bad at this. I want to switch partners," said Jihyun.

"Then go, you're not gonna win even if you switch partners," Jimin replied.

"I want EunBi," Jihyun says.

EunBi looks at me for confirmation. I nodded and switched seats with Jihyun. Jimin was quietly pouting to himself before we continued a new game.

"There's no point of changing when eomma and appa keeps winning," he says softly.

"It's okay! I believe in you. Jimin is the best," I said, trying to boost his confidence again.

"Gojima (stop lying)," he says with a small smile creeping up on his face.

"I'm not! We got this next round in the bag," I said motioning for a high five.

He returned my high five as we both picked up our cards. In our serious mode, we barely made a noise unless required to.

"Y/N isn't it this card?" he whispered.

"Stop! You can't ask for help!" Jihyun yells.

I bit my lower lip and blinked at him twice. It was the right card but I couldn't tell him yes because then we'd lose the point. Slowly he moved his hand to the card next to it and almost picked it up. My eyes grew wide at his action and I held myself back from saying anything. He looked at me and smirked, moving his hand back to the original card and picked it up. I sighed in relief as we gained another point. We were playing match which is a pretty easy game but instead of one deck, we used two. Both the numbers and the faces had to match in order to be a pair. We continued playing intensely as Jimin and I kept looking at each other for hints. Yes, we were somewhat cheating but what's the point of having partners if we can't communicate?
