THE BREAKFAST CLUB

06

namjoon looks up to see yoongi fiddling with the door. "ah, hyung, that's, that's school property there...you know, it doesn't belong to us. it's something not to be toyed with."

as if to punctuate his point, the door slams shut and yoongi runs back to his seat.

jungkook crosses his arms. "that's very funny, come on, fix it!"

namjoon nods. "you should really fix that!"

yoongi raises his hands. "am i a genius?"

jungkook scoffs. "no, you're an asshole!"

yoongi laughs, slapping his knee. "what a funny guy!"

"fix the door, suga!"

yoongi puts a finger to his lips. "everyone just shhh!"

seokjin walks back to his office. as he passes the library, he stops and listens through the closed door.

"i've been here before, i know what i'm doing!"

"no! fix the door, get up there and fix it!"

"shut up!" yoongi screams.

***

seokjin's voice is heard through the door. "goddamn it!" he storms in, fuming. "why is that door closed?"

for a few moments, nobody says anything and just stares at seokjin.

the teacher sighs in frustration. "why is that door closed?" he asks again.

yoongi speaks up, "how are we supposed to know? we're not supposed to move, right?"

seokjin turns to jimin. "why?" he asks, hoping for an actual answer.

but jimin just shrugs innocently. "we were just sitting here, like we were supposed to..."

seokjin looks around and fixes his stare on yoongi. "who closed that door?"

"i think a screw fell out of it."

"it just closed, sir," says jungkook, surprisingly. jimin and yoongi both were kind of expecting the youngest to rat out yoongi.

seokjin looks at hoseok in the back. "who?"

hoseok lets out a squeak and buries his face in his jacket.

"he doesn't talk, sir..." yoongi drawls.

seokjin turns back to yoongi. "give me that screw..."

"i don't have it..."

seokjin huffs, hands on his hips. "you want me to yank you outta that seat and shake it out of you?"

"i don't have it...screws fall out all of the time," says yoongi. "the world's an imperfect place..."

"give it to me, min..."

"excuse me, sir?" jimin chimes in. "why would anybody want to steal a screw?"

seokjin glares. "watch it, young man..."

seokjin walks over to the door and tries to hold it open by putting a chair in front of it.

"the door's way too heavy, sir." yoongi says helpfully.

the door slams shut despite the chair. "goddamn it!" seokjin yells, making the group laugh.

the teacher opens the door again and reenters the library. he points to jungkook.

"jeon jungkook...get up here. come on, front and center, let's go."
