Arcade Confessions || Kim NamJoon

III. Choosing & Hurting

Finally!

After doing nothing but write plot ideas for some stories for the last 20 minutes, the teacher said you were free to go, so you grabbed your stuff and got out like someone was giving free ice cream outside the school.

"Hey (Y/N)! Where's the fire?" Or also like that.

"I'm going home Hobi, I'm emotionally tired."

"Meaning you are avoiding the situation that ALMOST took place in the classroom?"

He was smirking. So you pushed him.

"Yeah, also that. Don't you have anything else to do today?"

"I'm going out with the guys, maybe just going to the arcade, mind to join us?"

You groaned "Hobi, I've told you, I don't want to join your gang and end in some illegal activities."

"That hurt (Y/N), you know?"

You stopped and looked behind to see NamJoon and the rest of the boys walking to you.

"We might have a reputation in here, but that is only to protect us in the streets and being able of having fun out there without being threatened by real gangs." The boy who introduced himself as TaeHyung told you.

"What do you mean by that?"

"It means in the streets are rumours about us being the mean and bad boys in this school, so no one mess around with us." YoonGi told you while unwrapping a lollipop.

"...so that way they won't start a war between gangs?"

"And we are the creepy ones? Seems like you know a lot about this (Y/N)." the boy who's name was Jimeno or something like that said with a smile that made his eyes disappear. Jimine? Chim-Chim? Jimin! His name is Jimin.

"Hey I read some books every then and now, and that's basic life rules."

"You know, most of the other gangs have a queen in their groups." The boy whom you decided to nickname "Kookie" said that double meaning sentence with the more pure and innocent tone you've ever heard, but you suspected it was a cover.

"Wasn't that Jin in your case?"

"Hey, more respect for your superiors!" It was Tae the one scolding you.

"Shouldn't be someone like, Hobi, NamJoon or YoonGi the ones telling me that?"

"Yeah, but that's pretty true, he is a diva after all."

"HoSeok, being a diva and a queen are different as far as I know." You said to your friend who've made you forget about the stress and how flustered you were minutes ago.

"So? Are you coming with us?"

When you turned your head, you were still laughing, but as soon as you saw Joon's face, you stopped, knowing how weird you looked while laughing.

And how his face dropped made your heart ache. You of course didn't know the real reason, you thought it was the possibility of you saying no to them the reason of why he looked so gloomy so suddenly.

"You all win. I guess I'm coming."

Cheers and jumps followed your answer, but you had to make clear one point.

"But you guys better pay for my stuff, I barely have enough money for food and the bus to my house."

"Don't worry (Y/N), we will treat you like a queen." Said a smiling Jimin, and that smile was contagious, because soon you were smiling again and walking with this peculiar group.

What you also didn't know is how confused and hurt NamJoon was at the fact of you smiling to everyone but him.
