"what are you doing curled up there?" a soft voice asks from the doorway, and jeongguk turns his head away from the window to see seokjin smiling while staring at him. in the elders hand is a plate with a sandwich and some cookies, a carton of banana milk in the other. "i brought you lunch."

"i like to sit here and watch people walk by. but right now i'm waiting for my friends to arrive," admits jeongguk as he rises from the spacious windowsill and takes the plate from seokjin with a small bow. "and thank you, hyung."

"it's no problem. i'll stay out of the way, i have some projects to work on. call me if you need anything." the taller male winks before beginning to back out of the bedroom.

"i will, thanks seokjin hyung." jeongguk turns his attention back to the street outside, and breaks into a grin when he sees two boys walking up his driveway.

it doesn't take long before jimin and taehyung are barreling up the staircase, completely ignoring the older male seated on the couch with a laptop in hand. "gukkie!" taehyung cries as he throws himself onto the bed, enveloping the younger in a tight, bone-crushing hug. "it's been so long!" the melodramatic male wails.

"stop being so dramatic, tae. hey, guk," jimin grins as he takes a seat on the bed next to his hyperactive boyfriend. "so, what's up? why'd you call us here?"

jeongguk shifts on the bed, taking a long sip of banana milk before sighing. "i don't know what to do."

taehyung snorts. "clearly, or you wouldn't have asked us here. now come on, spill."

"what's on my gukkie's mind?" jimin coos in a cute voice, reaching forward to pinch the younger's cheeks. jeongguk swats his friends hands away, pouting.

"so you know how my brother's in america for two weeks?" the two nod, and jeongguk chews on his lip. "he's left his super attractive best friend in charge of me while he's gone."

"what's wrong with that?" taehyung asks.

jeongguk huffs, "that's the thing. he flirts and is super playful around me, but i'd feel weird since it's hyung's best friend. and he's five years older than me!"

jimin smirks, raising a brow. "well, do you like him?"

"i mean, i think so. we haven't even known each other for that long but it's like every time we're alone i get all flustered and shit."

"aww, our gukkie's got a crush!" taehyungsang, throwing his arms around the youngest and hugging him.

"yah, shut up." jeongguk grumbles as he pulls back from the embrace. "enough about that, though. video games?"

taehyung's eyes light up. "overwatch?"

jeongguk grins. "overwatch."

"thanks for having us over. guk. it was fun," jimin says as the three friends make their way down the stairs. it's nearly four o'clock, and the older two had to get back since jimin had a class at five.

"aw, you know you guys can come over anytime. especially now that i'm all alone," jeongguk smiles as they reach the bottom of the staircase.

"jeongguk, what do you want for din–oh, hi, you must be jeongguk's friends. i'm seokjin," the tall male says, suddenly having appeared in front of the three. he smiles warmly at jimin and taehyung, who are frozen in their spot.

"you didn't tell us he looked like a greek god," jimin whispers into jeongguk's ear. the youngest blushes furiously and ducks his head so seokjin won't see.

"hey, you guys look familiar. do i know you from college?" seokjin asks, tilting his head to the side as he studies jimin and taehyung.

"yeah, we're freshman though. maybe you've seen us in the halls or at a party?" taehyung purses his lips.

"probably. anyway, nice to meet you. are you just leaving?"

"yup, jiminie's got class soon."

seokjin smiles. "too bad you couldn't stay for dinner. oh well. maybe next time, hm?"

with that, jimin and taehyung put their shoes on and wave goodbye to jeongguk as they shut the door behind them.

"so, how does jajangmyeon sound?" seokjin asks, a playful glint in his warm eyes.
