THE BREAKFAST CLUB

14

jungkook, hoseok, jimin and namjoon are sitting on the railing. yoongi has already left, having jumped back up into the heating duct to return to the closet before he is caught.

"namjoon hyung?" says jimin.

the older turns his head to the side and looks at jimin. "yeah?"

"are you gonna write your paper?"

namjoon nods. "yeah, why?"

"well, it's kinda a waste for all of us to write our paper, don't you think?"

namjoon blinks at the younger. "oh, but that's what mr. kim wants us to do..."

"true, but i think we'd all kinda say the same thing," jimin says.

namjoon crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow. "you just don't want to write your paper, right?"

jimin tips his head to the side and gives him a coy smile. "true, but, you're the smartest, right?"

namjoon looks down and flushes red. "oh, well..." he says, bashfully.

jimin nods. "we trust you."

namjoon glances over at hoseok and jungkook, who nod in approval.

namjoon gives a firm nod. "all right, i'll do it."

jimin beams. "great..." he then looks over at hoseok, who looks back curiously. "come on," jimin beckons him as he slides off the rail.

"where are we going?" hoseok asks as jimin grabs onto his hand and pulls him up and away.

jimin doesn't answer and just tugs on his wrist. "come on!"

***

in another section of the library, jimin sits cross legged, putting eye make-up on hoseok.

"don't be afraid," jimin says, smiling gently as he moves close to hoseok's eyes.

"don't stick that in my eye!" hoseok scoots back.

jimin sighs. "i'm not sticking it in, just close...just go like that," he closes his eyes, and hoseok mimics him.

jimin nods. "good." he brings the brush up to sweep the makeup onto hoseok's eyelids.

"you know, you really do look a lot better without all that black shit on your eyes."

hoseok pouts. "hey... i like that black shit..."

jimin shakes his head even though hoseok can't see him. "this looks a lot better... look up."

hoseok stays quiet for the most part while jimin does his thing. it's when the younger is nearly finished that hoseok finally speaks.

"please, why are you being so nice to me?" he asks, opening his eyes to look up at the redhead.

"'cause you're letting me." jimin shrugs, sitting back and admiring his work.

***

yoongi leans against the wall off the closet, staring angrily at the wall. just then, the door opens and jimin enters.

grinning, yoongi looks at jimin. "you lost?"

jimin stares at him.

yoongi smiles.

jimin smiles.

***

back in the library, namjoon's pen flies across the paper.

jungkook is sprawled across the couch, staring at the ceiling, but when he hears footsteps he looks up.

hoseok stands there, all made up. jimin stands beside, proud.

jungkook stares, in awe. hoseok walks towards him and stops when he notices namjoon staring at him with his mouth open. hoseok glares at him.

"cool!" exclaims namjoon.

hoseok beams. "thank you!"

***

jimin kisses yoongi, softly and sweetly, then breaks the kiss.

yoongi frowns. "why'd you do that?"

jimin bites his lip. "cause i knew you wouldn't."

"you know how you said before, how your parents used you to get back at each other... wouldn't i be outstanding in that capacity?"

"were you really disgusted about what i did with my lipstick?" jimin asks.

yoongi cracks a grin. "truth?"

"truth."

yoongi nods and speaks at the same time. "no..."

***

finally finished, namjoon lifts up his paper and kisses it.

jungkook is still staring at hoseok. "what happened to you?"

hoseok's eyes go wide. "why?" he splutters. "jimin did it! what's wrong?"

but jungkook shakes his head. "nothing's wrong, it's just so different. i can see your face."

hoseok shifts his weight from one foot to the other. "is that good or bad?"

jungkook laughs. "it's good!"

hoseok smiles.
