THE BREAKFAST CLUB

12

down in the school basement, seokjin and jackson sit, talking.

"what did you want to be when you were young?" asks seokjin.

"when i was a kid, i wanted to be john lennon..."

"jackson don't be a goof! i'm trying to make a serious point here... i've been teaching, for twenty two years, and each year these kids get more and more arrogant."

jackson scoffs. "aw, bullshit, man. come on jin, the kids haven't changed, you have! you took a teaching position, 'cause you thought it'd be fun, right? thought you could have summer vacations off... and then you found out it was actually work... and that really bummed you out."

seokjin shakes his head. "these kids turned on me... they think i'm a big fucking joke."

"come on... listen jin, if you were sixteen, what would you think of you, huh?"

"hey, wang, you think i give one rat's ass what these kids think of me?"

jackson nods. "yes i do..."

seokjin narrows his eyes. "you think about this... when you get old, these kids; when i get old, they're gonna be runnin' the country."

"yeah?"

"now this is the thought that wakes me up in the middle of the night," says seokjin. "that when i get older, these kids are gonna take care of me..."

jackson laughs. "i wouldn't count on it!"

back in the library, the group sits on the floor in a circle.

"what would i do for one billion won?" says jungkook thoughtfully. "well, i guess i'd do as little as i had to."

jimin scoffs. "that's boring."

"well, how am i supposed to answer?"

"the idea is to like, search your mind for the absolute limit. like, uh," jimin thinks, and then grins. "would you drive to school naked?"

jungkook laughs. "um, uh... would i have to get out of the car?"

jimin rolls his eyes. "of course."

jungkook thinks. "in the spring, or winter?"

sighing, jimin waves his hand. "it doesn't matter... spring?"

"in front of the school or in back of the school?"

jimin glares. "either one.."

finally, jungkook nods. "yes..."

hoseok jumps up. "i'd do that!"

they all turn to look at him. basking in the attention, hoseok grins. "i'll do anything sexual, i don't need a billion won to do it either."

jimin squints at him. "you're lying..."

hoseok shakes his head. "i already have... i've done just about everything there is except a few things that are illegal..." he trails off, smirking. "i'm a nymphomaniac!"

jimin rolls his eyes. "lie."

namjoon looks half-concerned, half-disbelieving. "are your parents aware of this?"

hoseok bites his lip, shaking his head again. "the only person i told was my shrink..."

"and what'd he do when you told him?" asks jungkook.

hoseok grins. "he nailed me."
             
"very nice..." comments jimin sarcastically.

"i don't think that from a legal standpoint what he did can be construed as rape since i paid him."
