"Are you okay?" Jungkook looked down at the pink haired boy. "Did they hurt you?"

"I'm fine." Jimin said without looking at the other. Yoongi had left the room to get Jimin some water. After the whole incident, Yoongi had brought Jimin back to Jungkook's place and Jimin had called Taehyung immediately after he'd stopped crying.

"Is Taehyung coming to fetch you?" Jungkook kept talking. "Did he say he'd come?"

Jimin looked up at the younger with mixed emotions of annoyance and curiosity. "Why won't you leave him alone?" He said. "Do you have a crush on him or something?"

Jungkook's eyes widened. "Pfft! What do you mean? Why would I-? I mean- I don't even know what you're talking about!"

"Now I'm really fucking sure." Jimin smirked.

Before Jungkook could retort, Jimin's brown haired best friend barged into the room and crushed him into a hug. Yoongi followed. "Jimin!" He panted. "Are you okay? Are you hurt? I will kill each one of those-"

"Tae," Jimin laughed. "I'm fine. Yoongi came just in time. Or I would've died or something."

Taehyung turned around and looked at Yoongi for a moment before crushing him into a hug too. "Thank you for saving him. Thank you so much!"

Yoongi froze in his place and so did the other two boys, expecting an outburst from the pale skinned boy. Instead, he smiled and patted Taehyung's back. "It's nothing, really."

Jimin and Jungkook stared at a red-cheeked Yoongi in shock and then looked at Taehyung. "You," Jungkook said as he looked at Taehyung. "Come with me."

"No, I won't," Taehyung said with a scowl and looked away. "Yes, you will." Jungkook grabbed the hem of his sweater and pulled him out and into another room.

Taehyung was slammed onto the wall and locked between Jungkook's arms which rested on either side of Taehyung's face. The older looked down to avoid any kind of eye contact, biting his lower lip in frustration.

Jungkook lowered his face dangerously close towards Taehyung's and frowned. "Look at me."

"No."

"Please."

The desperation in Jungkook's voice made the him looked up slowly and hesitantly, and as his brown eyes locked with his black ones, he drew in a breath slowly. "What do you want?"

Jungkook remained silent, staring back and forth between Taehyung's eyes and the mole on his lower lip. Taehyung grew uncomfortable by the minute and almost gasped when Jungkook lifted his thumb up to his lower lip and touched the mole, staring at it in awe.

Taehyung's legs went weak with the feeling on Jungkook's hand on him. But as soon as he saw Jimin staring at them from the doorway, he pushed Jungkook off him and ran to his best friend.

"Let's go." He didn't wait for his best friend as he rushed out of the house.

Jisoo sulked in a corner of a room which wasn't her own, staring at the seniors from her school who would be classified as "bimbos".

Why do my brothers always send me here when it's clear that both the bitch who owns the place and I are anything but okay with it?

Jennie walked into the room with another tray of fat free snacks and sat down on the rug with her friends. "What a freak," one of the girls whispered. "Why do you even have her here, Jen?"

"I don't know," Jennie said without looking at the others. "Apparently mom likes to take in charity cases all the time."

Jisoo looked up. "You know, I can hear you."
