Peculiar You •• Namjin AU

13 : Busy

Instead of finding Namjoon, Jin finds Hoseok on his way to the science emporium his class had set up, carrying a bunch of water bottles and juice.

"Morning!" Jin greets, jogging up to him with a grin. "Trying to stay hydrated?"

"I'm rewarding my classmates." Hoseok says, grinning wildly as he lifts his hands up to show off. "For being so hardworking when I can't be bothered to be."

Jin hums, plucking off some of the plastic bags wedged between his fingers. "Always such a good samaritan." He comments with a smirk.

"When am I not?" Hoseok asks, laughing at the way Jin rolls his eyes. "How else am I going to stock up on that good karma quota?"

"Is there even such a thing?"

"I don't get dumb luck coincidentally." Hoseok concludes, swishing the bags as he marches to his room.

Jin shrugs and doesn't complain the rest of the way, only enjoying the buzz of students lively beckoning people to partake in their stalls or booths.

"Oh right," Hoseok says, breaking the comfortable silence. "Don't we have that kissing booth thing with Namjoon?"

"We do." Jin answers casually, shifting his grip to his other hand. "But I wanna hang out first. Let's start after lunch."

"Can't believe you made him agree to that." Hoseok mutters, looking back at him in disbelief. "He's usually so uptight."

Jin sighs, "Yeah," He drawls out, exasperated. "But luckily people just naturally love me."

"Did you know I had to bribe him just so he'd wear something other than his slacks?"

"Ooh, so do I have you to thank for making him finally wear denim?" Jin asks with a playful lilt, nudging Hoseok on the arm. "Good work, my friend."

Hoseok laughs, "Do the jeans do him justice?"

"Definitely."

"I'll have to go back now." Taehyung mutters as he stands up from his seat. "My shifts about to start."

Yoongi mumbles something under his breath and heaves himself up, bringing a hand unto his hair to run it through. "Guess it's back to work for me too."

Namjoon grumbles through the cake he was currently chewing through. "Way to leave me alone you two."

"I'll catch up with you later!" Taehyung calls before he's out of bounds, joining the busy crowd outside.

Taehyung waves goodbye as he prances away while Yoongi flips him off, striding away lazily.

"Jin might be looking for you." Yoongi offers helpfully as he accidentally bumps into Jimin. "Go and see how your husband's doing."

Namjoon groans, shoving the rest of the cake into his mouth and standing up. "I hate you." He mutters, glaring at Yoongi as he gives him a mocking flying kiss.

He says a quiet thank you to Tao on his way out, and heads outside to face the bustling mob.
