"Look at me!" Yoongi demands.

After another refusal, he takes the matter into his own hands- literally - and moves my head to look at him.

"You aren't and never were or will be dead weight. I'm not a golden maknae either, or at least I wasn't. Don't compare yourself to Junglebook anyways. He isn't even that intelligent, Namjoon is the brains."

I laugh at his not only one, but two disses at the maknae, who scoffs and looks away. Poor Kookie. Alternatively, Namjoon is beaming.

"I'm just Tae's girlfriend," I respond. "I don't really matter compared to you. I'm not important."

Yoongi takes a deep breath.

"Listen, I think the same way. Everyone here has a role, though. Jin is the eomma, Namjoon is the brains- and clumsy one we only keep around for his English - I MEAN WHAT."

I laugh. Poor Namjoon doesn't look all that happy any more, but I can tell he's hiding a smile.

"I'm the sleepy savage one. Hoseok is the bright angel. Jimin is the soft mochi. Tae is the weird yet lovable one. Jungkook is the baby. And you, are one of the most important pieces to our ever-growing puzzle. You help us out, you learn all of our choreography so you can show us how to improve. You help us sing and rap, and even help with our lyrics. But most importantly, you keep us going."

Everyone smiles and gets out of their seats to come hug me. Tae pulls me into his lap, and I let the rest of my tears out on his shoulder. I'm not alone. I'll be okay. I keep repeating these words in my head. Tae rubs my back, and dries my eyes.

"You done, my sweet?" He asks gently.

I nod and smile at him. I get up and run into Yoongi's arms. He looked surprised at first, but quickly smirked and hugged me back. I sit back down and finish my breakfast.

I look up at everyone and say, "You know what?!"

"WHAT!!"

I throw my hands in the air and stand up, making finger hearts with my hands.

"I'M READY TO BE A SENIORRRRRR!!!"

Everyone cheers at my sudden excitement for another year of hell. Tae picks me up and kisses me.

"Alright!" Jin says.

"School time, guys. Get your backpacks, go brush your teeth, and make sure you have everything you need," Namjoon says. "Including your portable chargers because I am NOT getting a million texts complaining about forgetting yours and needing mine this year."

"Dude, you're just salty about the charger because not even YOU had yours. You forgot yours. Don't try me!" Jungkook retorts.

"I didn't ask you Jungcock!"

The two boys get into a play fight, in which Jungkook easily wins by pinning Namjoon down. Jimin rolls his eyes. Jungkook stands up, his eyes glittering with the pride of reigning triumphant. Namjoon jokingly makes the I'm-watching-you gesture, to which Jungkook feigns a lunge at him, making Joonie flinch. At least we know who's the real hyung here. Tae puts his arms around my waist and I playfully push him off and run into the bathroom like he did to me earlier. I open the door and he comes in and brushes his teeth with me.

Jungkook is digging around for his portable charger, so I take this opportunity to mess with him, as I'm the one who has it. Fully charged as well. I slip the blue portable charger with his initials in my back pocket, finish with my teeth, and leave.

"JUNGKOOK THINK FAST," I shout while launching it at him. He turns around and is about to catch it, but Tae grabs it from midair and throws it to Yoongi. Pretty soon, all of us except for Jin are having a mini football game.

"Guys stop!!!" Jungkook groans.

Finally, we give it to him, right as Jin comes back in to see what we're all doing. We all look as innocent as possible. Jin throws Yoongi the car keys, to which he catches them.

"Alright guys, let's go," Yoongi urges.

Tae holds my hand and kisses me. God, I love him.
