The boys were chilling at their hangout just like any other weekend. Suga was working in a music notebook with his headphones on, J-Hope and Jungkook were practicing a routine for an upcoming competition, Jimin and V were playing a game of Go on the small table, Rap Monster was flipping through a magazine while he sat next to Jin. The oldest boy had decided he was going to go through all the pictures he had taken recently and add them to the photo wall they had started.

Showing one Polaroid to Rap Monster the two laughed at the image. J-Hope had fallen asleep and Jimin had drawn him as a cat, which had taken hours to wipe off.

"Add that," Rap Monster chuckled.

Grabbing a piece of tape Jin nodded and stood. He stepped over to the wall and stuck it between pictures of Jungkook sleeping upside down on a couch and V making a dumb face.

Returning to the sofa Jin dropped with a satisfied snicker and continued organizing his photographs. He worked in silence for a while, before he came upon a picture that his didn't remember taking.

Lifting it up Jin narrowed his eyes as he studied the scene. It was from Jin's graduation party when they went out camping. The sun was setting and the seven of them were gathered around the fire pit, some were smiling, others eating, and Suga already asleep. Jin remembered it fondly, but he didn't remember the picture being taken.

"Hey," he said. He tapped Rap Monster's knee to get his attention as he held out the photo.

Looking up from his magazine the boy removed the lollipop from his mouth and said, "What?"

"Did you set up this picture?" Jin asked.

Glancing at the small square of paper he was shown Rap Monster leaned back and said, "No."

Pulling it back Jin commented, "I didn't take it."

"Of course you didn't you're actually in it," Rap Monster smirked.

Turning away from their game V and Jimin glanced over to their hyungs intrigued by their conversation.

"Jin-hyung is in a picture?" V joked.

"Let us see," Jimin urged with a grin.

Jin handed over the photo as he said, "We're all in it."

"Aw, this is a really good group shot," V said.

"Ha, Suga-hyung is sleeping," Jimin laughed.

V and Jimin laughed together as Jin snatched the photo back and stared at it some more.

"We were the only ones there that night right?" Jin questioned.

"Yeah," Rap Monster nodded.

"Then who took this?" Jin muttered.

"You've asked that before," Jimin commented.

"Huh?" the older boy inquired.

Getting to his feet Jimin went over to the photo wall scanned the nearly hundred or so pictures there until he found the one he was looking for. As he pointed to it Jin stood and joined him by the wall.

"When you found this one, you spent days asking who took it, but no one fessed up," Jimin replied.

The boy was pointing to the picture of Jin, Rap Monster and Suga sleeping in a bathtub after an intense party. He had questioned all his friends, but no one could tell who took the picture.

Jumping up V joined them saying, "Don't forget this one too."

He gestured to a photograph higher up the wall where all seven of them were present again. They were sitting on the beach watching the sunrise their backs to the camera. It was one of Jin's favorites, but he didn't know who took it either.
