"Oh." Jimin quietly mumbles to himself as he sits beside a moping Jungkook. "So, um, you like Jin?"

"Yes." Jungkook deadpans, his glare intensifying on a patch of grass. Jimin swallows, unsure what caused Jungkook to realize it so suddenly.

"Why are you bothered by it all of a sudden?" Jimin asks, confused.

"Because I saw them kissing earlier."

He hears Jimin whine feebly and it's Jungkook's turn to look at him in confusion. He finds disbelief plastered all over Jimin's expression as he sports a blush.

"Y-You what?" Jimin cries, voice cracking near the end. "Wh-When did it happen??" He stutters, gripping Jungkook's shoulders to urge him on.

Jungkook frowns, carefully taking Jimin's wrists in his and placing them back on the boy's lap. "Earlier...?"

An even louder wail greets his statement and he cringes, "No! Tell me exactly when it happened!" Jimin pleads, his hands rising for a moment to hold Jungkook again, but he forces them down.

Jungkook sighs, exasperated. "I saw them kissing while they were putting away the kissing booths."

Jimin pales, and cradles his cheeks in his hands. "Oh my god."

"Yeah." Jungkook agrees hesitantly, "Now why are you so worked up about this?"

Jimin blinks, regaining his posture and manners quickly, sitting up straight with his hands on his lap. "Nothing." He says, clearing his throat.

"Sure." Jungkook replies, not believing him one bit, but he chooses to leave the issue alone. Maybe he liked Namjoon too, unrequited like him. "Anyway, you've spent too much time to listen to me whine. You can leave me alone now."

"Would you feel better if I whined to you too?" Jimin leans back on the bench, a wistful smile on his face. "I'm pretty emotionally constipated myself."

Jungkook doesn't mind listening for a while too.

He copies Jimin's movements with a sigh. "Fire away."

Hoseok is surprised to find Jin and Namjoon pleasantly chatting in the gardens, no screaming or arguing involved.

Today has been one long stream of miracles.

He thought to approach them and maybe say hello, but he doesn't follow through this, letting the two enjoy what little peace they have left.

Since the garden's taken, he's not really sure where to stand by to wait for the bonfire to start. The rooftop's occupied by the first years, and even the library is full this time of the day.

He sighs. Where is he supposed to spend his precious alone time?

"You can come along with me." A voice says, eerily close to him. "I need some extra hands."

Hoseok shrieks in surprise, quickly putting a hand over his mouth to prevent any more noises from coming out. He look down to find Yoongi sitting behind the fence, looking through pictures on his camera.

"Um." He starts, feeling a little weird from Yoongi's sudden appearance. "What are you doing down there?"

Yoongi briefly spares him a glance before returning his attention to his photos, "Normal everyday business."

"Stalking?"

Yoongi scoffs, "No. Blackmailing."

"Oh." Hoseok chuckles awkwardly, crouching down to his level. "Blackmail doesn't work on Jin, I think."

Yoongi raises a brow at him, "Who says it's for Jin?"
