Chapter Nine

☼✵☼

"Taehyung can we go shopping now? Please~!" Jimin pouted up at the taller male as Namjoon watched from the sidelines, laughing slightly at the scene before him.

"Mhm," Taehyung hummed in response. "Let's go~"

"He looks like a five year old." Namjoon chuckled.

"Leave him be," Seokjin laughed a bit.

"He's like a little kid, like even Jeongguk seems older than him. It's cute."

"Think of him like a little brother, then. Regardless of how childish and unreasonable he is, you still love him."

"Mhm."

"Are you gonna tell me Yoongi acts too old or something, too?"

"He is old."

"Technically, yes."

"He's like, ancient."

"You're just as old as him."

"I'm still younger than him,"

"By hardly more than a year."

"Let me thrive in my youth dammit."

"I hope you realize your youth died a while ago."

Namjon frowned, but shrugged it off right after. Shaking his head and just chuckling. "Hey let me live, I still have the body of a sixteen year old. I never really physically grew up, which kinda includes my mindset. I still need to mature and shit, I just couldn't do that for a while."

"That's not what I meant, necessarily. You can't tell me you watched your closest friends get murdered and then just walked away from it with the same maturity and responsibility of a sixteen year old who hardly has his priorities straight."

"Not like that," Namjoon mumbled, stopping in the middle of the parking lot as they all were now walking to the car, and looked around for a moment. Going silent as he shook his head a moment later and continued walking. "Sorry."

"I should apologize. I wasn't thinking," Seokjin frowned, his ears flattening down on his head. His ears always gave away his emotions.

"It's fine, it's just hard to bring it up sometimes. I was apologizing for stopping suddenly."

"Sorry..."

"It's alright,"

"No it's not, that wasn't okay."

"Let's just talk about something else."

"Yeah."

"Do you like your classes?"

"They're manageable."

"What's your schedule?" The older explained the classes he had, also mentioning his personal inputs on them, hating math and history the most, while French and science were fun. Others were in the middle. "French, nice. Yoongi can help you with that."

"Mhm."

"That's like the one language I haven't learned to be honest. All I know is basic curse words from Yoongi."

"It sounds nice."

"Mhm."

"What languages are you fluent in?"

"English, Japanese, I know a bit of Spanish too."

"I know Japanese."

"Nice."
