the boys looked from yoongi to jimin before slowly backing away, as if already sensing what was in store:

"oh no."

jem looked confused as she looked back from yoongi to the boys, "what? what's wrong?"

yoongi cleared his throat as he swallowed his bite, making everyone look at him. "nothing's wrong," jem gave him a smile as yoongi turned to look at the boys, "what are you guys doing here?"

"to eat burgers, why else?" jimin rolled his eyes, annoyed. jem frowned at the disrespectful eye rolling. she hates when people roll their eyes.

"woah, jimin, chill. yoongi was just wondering," muttered taehyung.

as if everyone could sense the tension, including jem, jem put the burger in the paper bag it came in and stood up. "um...i'm going to get going...i just realized i have another class after this." she gave a tight smile to the boys, lingering on jimin and then turned to face yoongi. "thanks, yoongi for paying for my food. it tastes really good and i had fun in the short time we spent together!"

yoongi stared at jem, almost looking upset, before nodding, facial expression unchanging.

jem gave one last smile, before hurrying out to escape the weird tension.

the boys all brought chairs into the table for two, cornering yoongi who looked tremendously annoyed. the first one to speak up was jungkook, "yoongi hyung...who was that?"

yoongi set his lips in a straight line as he replied back, "no one important."

a scoff was heard as jungkook widened his eyes at what he realized what was about to happen.

it was jimin. jimin had his arms crossed in disbelief, "so you're playing her?"

yoongi stared at jimin, "how the hell would i be playing her when i just met her yesterday?"

jimin threw his hands up, "exactly! you met her yesterday! why are you already playing her?"

"how am i playing her?!"

jin immediately put his hands in between yoongi and jimin who were glaring at each other, slightly shouting over them, "woah, woah, woah! stop it! what the heck is happening here? who is that girl and why are you guys fighting over her?"

namjoon nodded along side jin, "i'm with jin. you guys are best friends who live with each other. what's happening?"

after hearing their questions, jimin's glare softened as did yoongi's. he whispered, "sorry."

"i don't know why. i just didn't like how yoongi worded his reply," jimin continued, looking down at his lap.

yoongi sighed, "i'm sorry, too. i didn't mean it like that. her name is jem, by the way. i don't like her or anything. i barely know her. besides, she's too bubbly and loud for me. she just needed help this morning around the building."

the boys nodded in understanding, leaving everyone in silence, before taehyung sheepishly asked, "can we get burgers now? i'm starving."

the maknae line laughed as namjoon and jin shook their heads in disbelief. jin spoke up, "yeah let's go, i'll pay."

"yes, biiiiiitch!"

"hey, no cursing!"

jimin and yoongi awkwardly walked home together, neither one wanting to pick up a conversation.

jem on the other hand was sitting on her doorstep, waiting for the two boys to come home. she wanted to invite them both to breakfast tomorrow and to bring some light into the tension she felt before.

she just wanted to get to know the two of them in the right way.

realizing they might take awhile, she brought out her sketchbook and watercolor to paint until they came. a few hours later, she was brainstorming more ideas for her project when she heard footsteps approaching.

looking up, she smiled widely when she saw the two of them. she put her supplies down and got up to meet them near their house. jimin noticed her first, looking embarrassed to meet her eye. yoongi seeing her afterwards, was a little shocked to see her so smiley in front of them.

"hey guys!" she waved as if she hadn't just seen them an hour ago. jimin gave her a half smile as yoongi simply stared.

jem scratched the back of her head before clasping her hands together in front of her, "i was wondering if you guys were busy doing something around 10 in the morning? classes?"

jimin shook his head before looking at yoongi, "i'll be sleeping."

giggling, jem shook her head at his response. she looked up at yoongi through her curls, instantly capturing his attention through her cuteness.

"well..." she kicked a pebble on the ground, before looking up once more, "will you wake up for me? for some pancakes and other breakfast items i'll be making?"

both jimin and yoongi's eyes widened as their mouths watered at the thought. the most they get for breakfast is a bagel and some crappy coffee.

"o-of course!" jimin spurted out. "we'd love to!"

but as jimin was thinking about his hunger, yoongi was thinking about the kindness in jem's heart to make breakfast for two boys who do not deserve her generosity.

jem clapped her hands her grin washing over her whole body, "oh joy! that's wonderful! i can't wait till you guys try my cooking. i really do hope you enjoy it!"

jimin nodded eagerly, looking at a spaced out yoongi.

"pancakes...the last time i had homemade pancakes was the day before i moved to go to college," yoongi whispered.

cooing, jem stared at yoongi with hopeful eyes, "i will make sure i make the best pancakes you have ever tasted. what is your favorite kind?"

yoongi gave a small smile, looking down at the ground bashfully, "you don't have to cater to my taste."

"no, no!" jem waved her hands before taking one of both yoongi and jimin's hands, gripping tightly, before letting them go. "i want to make whatever you guys crave!"

jimin thanked jem while they conversed about breakfast as yoongi stared at his fidgeting fingers, thinking about the quickness of her warm hands lapsing over his. it was a feeling he never felt before.

"and you, yoongi? what type of pancakes did you say?"

even the flow of his name on her tongue, made him queasy.

he looked away from his shaky hand, before shoving it in his pocket, giving jem the softest smile.

"blueberry pancakes. i love blueberry pancakes."
