[Feeling Safe]

Jungkook

I look at him in shock, wondering what possessed him to suggest that. 

"I mean, I feel like we owe them an apology. We all know we haven't been the nicest to Jungkook..." Jimin glances at me, before looking at everyone again. "We should apologize for causing them pain."

Jimin why do you have to be so considerate? How am I gonna find a way out of this?

"It's okay, really," I say, putting a hand on his shoulder. "They-um, they never knew..."

I mean, it's not a lie.

"You never talked to your family about it?" Hoseok asks. The boys look at me and I rub my neck, trying to think of something else to say. 

"I-I never wanted to put them under stress," I look away from them. 

Please don't press this.

"Do they know about... About you being in the hospital?" Tae's voice is shaky and I look at him.

Shit. What do they wanna hear?

"Uh, yeah, yeah," I fib, hoping I chose the right answer. He nods his head but seems unsure. Thankfully, no one questions my answer. 

"Well, we could just stay here for the day," Yoongi suggests, trying to find a way to just relax. 

"Okay, grab the cards again. Let's play something fun this time."

"Hey! That's cheating!" Namjoon exclaims as Jin calls BS* again on him. "He can see my cards!"

"It's not! It's not my fault that they're right next to me! Hide them better," Jin shouts. "You have to drink!"

"Mom and Dad are fighting," Tae whined to Hobi, clearly a little drunk after calling out BS falsely so many times. Hobi just rolls his eyes, continuing on with the round after Namjoon reluctantly picks up all the cards. 

"Aish, I'm not your Dad," Namjoon said laughing at Tae's remark.

"But who else would it be? Jin is gladly the group's Mom and I'm sure you don't want someone else to be Dad," Yoongi smirked. When did he wake up? He fell asleep, opting to just drink a bottle of beer instead of playing the game.

The group erupted in 'ooh's and laughed as Namjoon put his arms around Jin. 

"Jin is mine and anyone who wants to say otherwise has to get through me," Namjoon said, his voice slurring slightly. Jin's face reddened at the display of affection but rolled his eyes. 

"Whipped," Yoongi scoffed which earned him a scoff from Namjoon.

"Why did no one tell me they were dating?" I mumble, his face covered in confusion. 

"Stupid, it's so obvious! They're the gayest people in the world," Hobi chuckles, Namjoon throws a pillow at his head but he continues to laugh. I laugh with him.
