The Juveniles

Sixteen

"Hyung, I'm going to ask Sooyoung to be my date this weekend. Would it be okay with you?"

Jimin laughed, "You know it's okay with me. Ask the 'other' brother and my sister!"

"But it's the Kims' party, do you think?..." There's no need for Jungkook to finish his question for the hyung knew it already.

"You know what Jungkook, as much as I want to tell you to 'Do whatever you want', I know it's hard. So just try. If things got complicated,  I'll be my sister's salvation and you, suffer on your own"

"Thanks,  Hyung" Jungkook smiled,  "I'll be taking her out tonight"

"Just bring her home by 9 and complete" Jimin smiled back.

"Seungwan-ah" Hoseok approached Seungwan by her locker. 

"Hobi.. " Nervously,  she called back. 

"Can you accompany me to choose a tux for Jin's birthday?"

She wanted to ask why, "But I'm sorry I have a practice at 5:00"

"We still have two hours. So?  For old times' sake" Hoseok tapped her shoulder. 

And by 'old times sake',  it means 'back to when they were friends'. Seungwan had no choice but to say yes and come with him. If Hobi acts or really feel nothing but back to being friends then she could do it too. It is something she had been convincing herself with ever since she gave up on pursuing him. The shopping wasn't that long since Hoseok knows what store and what kind of design would he like to buy. Wendy only sat there as he waited for Hoseok to come out of the fitting room.

"Ma'am,  your boyfriend is about to be done" One staff had interrupted Seungwan from reading her magazine. 

"Oh no,  he's not-" She wasn't able to finish because the guy he loved the most just went out of the fitting room,  dazzling and breath taking.  Hoseok is the simple kind of guy when it comes to clothing so whenever he would dress up,  it would be a new sight to everyone and that moment came.

Seungwan could've swore that her breathing stopped and her heart pumped a faster rate that she could've remembered. Here's the guy she loves,  asked her to come with him, taking in her heart for the nth time only to realize that it would be broken for the nth time once again. And from then on she knew she couldn't continue being friends with him.  She knew she can't come to the party or else,  she won't take it anymore. 

"Oppa" Wendy smiled at Rose before turning her attention to Yoongi. 

"Well,  you're late" Yoongi looked at her in a disapproving manner.

"I know and I'm sorry that's why I'm here.  I'm sorry I can't come to the party"

"Wendy,  is there a problem?" Rose asked in concern. 

"Nothing" Seungwan smiled at her,  "It's just...  an emergency came up and I need to attend to this"

"What kind of emergency?" Being the genius,  Yoongi knows she is lying. 

"I received a call from a family friend,  asking if I could drop by the weekend and have dinner"

"Okay then" Yoongi just agreed and  Seungwan knows that he knows.

On the other hand,  Joohyun had finished three sections and had collected all of the data needed from the previous papers. She looked at them and decided to drop them by over the Kim's so she won't be dealing with Taehyung anymore. Among them,  she had no plans on going to the party. What's the point? She knows the youngest son won't like her there. Shutting the computer down,  she stood up and did some stretching.  It's almost 7:30 in the evening so she decided to go home. She carried the piles of books and papers with so much difficulty that she hailed a taxi for it.
