Jin and Namjoon had done everything there was to do in the house and it had been three weeks. The two were pratically bored out of their minds not to mention that they both needed human interaction, besides eachother. Jin looked up from the movie which wasn't so interesting. Instead he chose to stare at Namjoon who was playing candy crush and had just ran out of levels to play.

"Hey Namjoon? Wanna go get some ice cream?"

The younger looked up from his phone a bit startled to hear a voice that wasn't being emitted from an electronic.

"Yeah sure, lets go," he said shoving his phone in his pocket and grabbing his crutches. He had gotten comfortable with Jin, he had more than once fallen asleep watching something only to wake up countless hours later in his own bed. How Jin was able to carry his large frame was beyond him. All he could figure was Jins shoulders had to have been a factor.

He waited for Jin and began up the stairs, he'd done it enough to be pretty good at it but Jin still often helped him. They made it to the car eventually and Jin started it.

"You sure your legs up for this?" Namjoon nodded before turning on the radio.

"Positive," he started listening to the latest hit before grabbing his phone and plugging it into the aux cord. He searched a bit before finding what he was looking for. It was Jins old song from their wings album so long ago, Awake.

'Maybe I can never fly~' was all Jin heard ringing through his ears as he drove. It brought him back when he was young, naive, and wanted nothing more than to eat and be loved by his band members and fans. The song was about his struggle which was a little funny now, considering his biggest struggle is what he wants for lunch.

He glanced over at his passenger who had his eyes closed and was humming to the song. Which fadded out and the loud notes of Cypher Five rung though the car making him jump nearly out of his seat. Taehyungs voice was deep and loud as he sang the melody. Followed by Namjoons horrible try at harmonizing, he sounded horrible.  Jin laughed harder than needed and almost felt compelled to pull over.

Namjoom was startled and now agitated that he was being laughed at. But not for long because as soon as the olders breathy laugh escaped, his heart began to pound and he felt warm. The feeling was weird and he couldn't explain it, his face was now a dorky grin and he didn't realize it but he was staring.

"What, never seen a beautiful man laugh before, ah Joon?" He was a bit embarrassed and turned away. 'Did he just call me Joon?' He though as he felt the warm feeling in his stomach turn to a swarm of butterflies.

"Oh nah, I just missed your goofy ass laugh. Its a shame no one gets to hear it, it's really something hyung." Jin sighed and parked the car.
"Glad you think so," he said getting out and grabbing the youngers crutches helping him out of the vehicle. They entered the small parlor and Namjoon told Jin what he wanted before going and sitting in an empty booth to wait for his hyung. While he was waiting he saw a familiar face a few feet away talking to a girl.

"Hey! Jackson!," Was what he yelled across the palor, managing to gain attention from everyone. Jackson turned and looked at him before completely forgetting about the female and running over.

"Namjoon! Dude, how are you? Its been a while," the two had been in the military over time and became great friends. Well that is freinds with benefits. They had chosen to explore their wasted experimental selves together more than once, and after that they came to the conclusion their both bi. Not the best way to find out but definitely the most enjoyable.

"I'm okay. Yeah it has been a long time, hasn't it?" Namjoon said looking back at the girl near the counter who looked relieved.

"You manage to score a girl yet?"

Jackson snorted and gave him an eyebrow wiggle.

"If Mark counts as a girl yeah. Why though? You miss this di- distinct smell of colone, you know?"

He changed his sentence as he saw Seokjin walk over and place a cup of sherbert in front of Namjoon. Before turning to Jackson.

"My my my, if it isn't the one and only Jackson Wang. How are you?" He gave a smug grin as he watched the older scoot in the booth with Namjoon a little closer than expected.

"Ah Jin! I'm great, I just got married actually." He stated smiling wide and holding up his ring finger to show a pretty gold band. Jins eyes widened at the sight.

"Well, whos the lucky lady?" Jackson laughed stole a bite of Namjoons ice cream while he too was to shocked to notice.

"Lady, oh god no. I'm fresh from America, with my husband Mr. Mark Wang."

Jins smile disappeared and he tried to speak but ended up choking on his own spit. He got up and pointed to the bathroom before walking away coughing harder than needed. Namjoon, mouth agape looked back at Jackson in disbelief.

"Jack that's not funny, we are all old you probably gave him a heart attack," Jackson scoffed and looked slightly offended.

"Its not a joke I married him. See," he said pulling out his phone and presenting a wedding photo of him and Mark. "Plus I figured it was fine because you two.." Namjoon cut him off.

"No were not. You moron, Jin and me, were friends. Nothing more, he doesn't even know I'm bi."

"Shit, dude, okay I'm sorry he was just sitting so close. The way he handed you your ice cream I just figured."

"You're wrong. Also Korea isn't the most accepting of queers or America ever since the shit that happened two years ago. Why are you here spewing stuff thats going to get you in trouble,"

Jackson rolled his eyes and shoved Namjoons ice cream back to his side of the table.

"Look bro I love you, but your a buzz kill. Shouldn't you be happy for me? I got married."

"That's great Jackson, but where was my invitation?"

"You were serving, you probably couldn't come. Hell, do you really think it would've been the best idea to invite my old fuck buddy to me and Marks wedding?"

"I'm a lot more than a "fuck buddy" you and Mark are my freinds. Or so I thought, I guess not though. You know what? I feel so sorry for Mark because if your anything like you were when we fucked, he's gonna get sick of you in a week. Not much there to be excited about, especially when you were straight until someone shoved their hand in your unfaithful pants. Eh? Is that what you told Mark, because its what you are. Unfaithful and horrible I hope you-"

Namjoon stood up as he shouted and glaced over to see Jin staring at him startled and utterly freaked. He stopped talking and grabbed his crutches before walking out of the ice cream parlor faster than he thought he could.
