The Juveniles

Thirty

"Hey, what are your plans, man?" Namjoon disturbed a sleeping Taehyung on the couch a day before his birthday.

"Sleep and count 10-1 with you then sleep" He boringly said.

"How's the talk with Joohyun?"

Taehyung sat up, suddenly interested to talk to his brother, "It went well. I apologized"

"I could see that" Namjoon chuckled.

"Huh?"

Namjoon pointed at the watch that Joohyun had given him. Who the hell would wear watch inside their house and sleeping at that. It was pretty obvious to the older that it was special and it was his first time seeing that watch. "That was given by her, right?"

Taehyung looked at the watch in his wrist and smiled, "Yes"

Namjoon nodded, "Are you together now?"

"Nope. I told her that I would continue to court her and earn to deserve her 'Yes'"

"I am so proud of you" Namjoon tapped Taehyung's shoulders, "You finally came around"

"Thank you, Hyung" Taehyung smiled at him, "I am so excited to see her again"

"Remind me, why am I single again?" Namjoon joked and both of them laughed.

"Because someone needs to look after me" Yeri butted in between the two, "This punk would be busy looking after Joohyun then Jin Oppa would have his own family so it only left me with you"

"Of course, my baby princess before anything else" Namjoon then hugged Yeri, "If ever I found someone in college, she needs to be your sister first before asking her out"

"Wait, isn't that Jennie, Jisoo uunie's friend, the one you're always bringing in here the one you're dating?" Yeri asked. Not implying anything, just really asking.

"Hyung, you're bringing someone home?" Taehyung asked. Surprised because he didn't know.

"Yes, idiot. That's what you get for not coming home" She spat.

Taehyung rolled his eyes at her and went back to Namjoon for his answer, "Well?"

"She's just a thesis-mate, ya know. And the hell, she's dating Taeyong"

"That's too bad" Yeri gave his brother a teasing pout, "I guess you'll stay single forever"

"If I'll be single forever then you stay single forever as well" Namjoon tickled Yeri. Yeri laughed and tried to pry his brother's hands away.

"You know what hyung, I'll be responsible for your lovelife!" Taehyung volunteered. Once I enter college, I'll search for your Ms. Right!"

"Duh! They might like you first before they would even like me"

"Ah hyung! Don't say that! You're better looking than me, well mannered than me, smarter-"

"MUCH MORE smarter" Yeri interrupted in which Taehyung corrected, "MUCH MORE smarter than me, more responsible than me. What's not to like? And beside, I have Joohyun"

"Wow, aren't you showing too much confidence?" Yeri bickered.

Taehyung lifted his wrist to show in Yeri's face the gift that Joohyun had given him, "Yes, I am"

"Both of you, you should stop bickering. You're adults already"

"No, it's fun to fight with him"

"Well I think you should" Someone aside from them spoke and they knew who's the owner of it.

"Seokjin, why are you here? I thought you're gonna spend New Year's Eve at Jisoo's?" Namjoon stood up.
