Another 97' Kid

SIX – Another 97' Kid.

Bambam had been rooting for him since the start of his audition. He was a boy who has the same age as Bambam and he just felt that connection between them immediately. And when the staffs told the boys that there's another 97' kid joining their dorm, Bambam cheered the loudest.

"Really?" Bambam had the widest grin on his face when the staffs informed them of the news.

"Really."

"So that Chris or something, won?"

"Yes Bambam." The older male answered with a hint of exasperation in his tone. Bambam opened his mouth again, wanting to question more but Jinyoung stepped in and stopped him.

"Bambam, hyung had said yes to you for at least five times." Jinyoung tapped onto his shoulder and continued. "Spare him."

Bambam finally turned back to look at the older boys, specifically Jaebum, Jinyoung and Mark, standing behind him. The staff had interrupted their practice to tell them about the news and Bambam had been questioning the poor staff for almost fifteen minutes.

"But, he won right?"

The three older boys sighed loudly; Jaebum even noted to himself that if Bambam wasn't a kid, he would have smacked him.

"Yes Bambam." Everyone in the room answered him.

The grin on Bambam's face never once left for the rest of his day. No one questioned, everyone thought it's just him being a kid. Until at night, when Bambam kept running in and out from between two rooms. The older boys were just sitting in the living room watching his small figure running about.

"What is wrong with him?" Sungjin finally brought up that question. The other five boys turned their attention away from Bambam and to Sungjin.

"He's been doing this since dinner is over. And I'm pretty sure I saw him carrying some of Mark's stuffs into Brian's room."

Jaebum and Jinyoung sighed. Mark could only shake his head as Jaebum and Jinyoung explained the current situation to the others. However, instead of feeling a little ridiculous, Sungjin, Wonpil and Brian were all pretty amused.

"Look, you weren't the ones there to answer him everytime he asked if it's true." Jaebum complained and leant back against the couch. "We've probably answered him more than twenty times in total today."

Mark and Jinyoung nodded.

"Well," Brian gave them a cheeky smile, "Like you said, we weren't there so this is a really funny sight for us!"

The three involved boys could only groan in reply. The situation went on for another five minutes before Bambam announced that he's done.

"Bambam, come here." Sungjin waved his hand, gesturing for the younger boy to go over to them. Which he did and sat beside Sungjin, giving the older boys a look that seemed to be asking, "what is it?"

"What were you doing?" This time, it's Wonpil who spoke up.

"Packing!"

"For?" Six different voices answered at the same time.

"For Chris to arrive of course!" Bambam chirped, giving them a very bright grin.

Amused at Bambam's actions, Sungjin leant slightly towards the others boys and whispered. "He talked as if they are best friends already."

"Bam, he's only coming to stay with us next week." Jaebum stated.

"So what?" Bambam shrugged lightly, clearly not understanding why his hyungs were questioning him about this.

"Anyway!" Bambam sat up straight, a grin on his face again. The older boys could only watch him in curiousity while they wait for him to continue.

"I'm going to be sleeping in the same room as him!"

Mark raised an eyebrow at Bambam's statement, finally having a reaction during that conversation.

"Are you moving to another room?" Jinyoung asked him the question everyone had at that moment. Bambam shook his head.

"Mark is going to sleep with Brian!"

The two mentioned boys blinked then looked at each other and back to Bambam. The rest was just as surprised as them even Jaebum, who's so particular about honorifics didn't bother correcting Bambam.

"Are you chasing Mark out?" Sungjin snickered at the idea of it, causing Mark to throw him a glare, which he only shrugged as a response. Clearly, Sungjin's really amused with the whole situation.

"Not really but," Bambam smiled widely. "I've moved most of his stuffs for him!"

Sungjin couldn't help it and finally laughed at the whole situation. Everyone else was pretty much as amused, except for Mark. Even though Bambam said it's not, he felt like the youngest of the dorm really just kicked him out from their room.

"Also, you guys can't bully me anymore. I'm not the youngest now!"

The six older boys stared at him for a while, before Jaebum's voice filled the living room.

"That's what you're being happy about!?"

Chris Bang, the new addition to the boys' dorm arrived one week later as the staff had told them. Everyone had warned Bambam to not scare the boy away and Bambam had agreed. But the moment Chris stepped into the apartment, Bambam skipped to where Christ was and offered to help with his luggage.

"I am Bambam and I will be your roommate from now on. Let me show you our room!" Bambam said that in one go, not giving the poor boy a chance to get used to the place. Again, Jinyoung had to pull Bambam back before he himself turned to face the other younger boy.

"I'm Jinyoung." He smiled, assuring him because that boy seemed to be overwhelmed by Bambam's warm welcome. Jinyoung continued to introduce the rest of the boys to Chris who bowed to each of them.

"And we are all your hyungs, except."

"Except me!" Bambam interrupted Jinyoung, "I'm the same age as you, half a year older! Can I show you our room now?"

It took the new boy a while to react to Bambam's enthusiasm but he eventually nodded, accepting Bambam's gestures and let him introduce him around.

The older boys could only watch the two smaller figures as Bambam's voice filled the apartment. They are all pretty sure that the dormitory would be getting even noisier now that Bambam had a new friend. Hopefully, they won't end up being partners in crime.

And that, was exactly what happened.

Next Chapter: Differences

-------------

This update took a little longer because I couldn't find time to write this out. I'm sorry about that! Anyway, I really like writing about Bambam, whether it's in this story or in Ambiguous. He's a very versatile and fun character to write. Sometimes, it feels like he's actually leading the chapter flowing. I hope you guys had fun reading about Bambam as much as me writing him. 

And so, this is the end of the introductory part. We will now be heading into the second part. Next chapter onwards, it will be more on their life as trainees and it won't necessarily be in 2010. so sometimes others might be mentioned. Do not have expectations tho because afterall, I'm focusing on the 11 of them and did the most research on them. 

That's pretty much it for this chapter! So as an engagement. Out of the six chapters, which do you like best? If you ask me, Jihyo's solo chapter was fun to write too!
