THE BREAKFAST CLUB

07

seokjin stands in the library, staring down at the sleeping kids. "wake up! who has to go to the bathroom?"

everyone raises their hands.

***
the clock now reads 10:22.

jungkook stretches. yoongi sits up on the railing, tearing pages out of a book and then tossing them on the ground. jungkook sniffs.

"that's real intelligent."

yoongi looks up at him. "you're right...it's wrong to destroy literature..." he continues to tear pages out. "it's such fun to read...and, molet really pumps my nads!"

"mol-yare," says jimin, pronouncing the name correctly.

namjoon smiles. "i love his work." yoongi tosses the rest of the pages at namjoon. he then picks up the card catalogue drawer and begins to take cards out.

"big deal...nothing to do when you're locked in a vacancy.."

"speak for yourself..." says jungkook.

yoongi turns his head. "do you think i'd speak for you?  i don't even know your language!"

jungkook turns to jimin, ignoring yoongi. "hey, you grounded tonight?"

jimin shrugs. "i don't know, my mom said i was but my dad told me to just blow her off."

jungkook nods. "big party at bambam's, parents are in europe. should be pretty wild..."

jimin looks interested. "yeah?"

"yeah, can you go?"

"i doubt it..." the older pouts. 

"how come?"

jimin sighs. "well, 'cause if i do what my mother tells me not to do, it's because my father says it's okay. there's like this whole big monster deal, it's endless and it's a total drag. it's like any minute...divorce..."

"who do you like better?"

jimin turns around to face yoongi. "what?

"you like your old man better than your mom?"

jimin shrugs. "they're both strict."

"no," says yoongi, shaking his head. "i mean, if you had to choose between them."

jimin shrugs again. "i dunno, i'd probably go live with my brother. i mean, i don't think either one of them gives a shit about me...it's like they use me just to get back at each other."

suddenly, from the back of the room, hoseok speaks. "ha!" it's only a laugh, but it's more than any of them have ever heard out of the strange boy since they started high school.

everyone looks at him shocked, and hoseok blows his bangs out of his eyes and grins.

"shut up!" jimin frowns.

jungkook rolls his eyes. "you're just feeling sorry for yourself..."

"yeah, well if i didn't nobody else would."

jungkook cracks a grin. "aw... you're breaking my heart."

yoongi whistles. "sporto."

jungkook turns around and shoots a look at the older. "what?"

yoongi jumps down and moves next to jungkook, leaning on the edge of the table. "you get along with your parents?"

"well if i say yes, i'm an idiot, right?"

yoongi grins. "you're an idiot anyway....but if you say you get along with your parents, well, you're a liar too!"

he turns and walks away from the younger.  jungkook follows and pushes yoongi.
