They walk over to Yoongi's after Jin changes and eats quickly. Namjoon just walks right in, and there's a kid Taehyung's age or so playing video games on the couch.

"Hey Kook," Namjoon greets the teenager, and the boy pauses his game.

"Hey hyung," he replies, sitting up. "Who's that?"

"Jin," Namjoon says nonchalantly, closing the door. "Where's Yoongi?"

"Right in his room," the boy answers, and Namjoon steps forward. "He was in the shower but I think he's getting dressed now."

"I see. By the way, Jin. The kid is Jungkook. He's fifteen."

"Hey," Jungkook says with a bright, bunny-like smile. "I'm Jeon Jungkook."

"Hi," Jin replies, his voice soft. "I'm Kim Seokjin." Jungkook gets up to grab a glass of juice and Jin speaks again. "I actually have a younger brother about your age. His name is Taehyung, and he's sixteen. Maybe sometime I can introduce you."

"Oh cool, and okay. Sounds fun."

At that moment, someone emerges from behind the closed door, and Jin guesses that this is Yoongi. He has glasses and black hair, and in general looks pretty average.

"Oh, hey Joon-hyung," Yoongi murmurs going into the kitchen as Jungkook sits back down. "Who's that? What are you doing here this late?"

"Was just gonna crash here," Namjoon says, and Yoongi gives a nod like it's a regular thing. "And this is Jin. Kim Seokjin. He's older than you by like a year. Technically though, three months. Jin, this is Min Yoongi. He just turned nineteen in March."

"He crashing here too?" Yoongi asks, and Namjoon looks like he wants to laugh.

"No, he lives right down the hall from you. He's got a three year old son."

"I think I might've seen you before," Yoongi says, but dismisses it after. "In any case, make yourself at home."

About a month goes by, and it's already so hot outside all the time. Jin is doing great at work, and Namjoon might be slipping a little extra money in his check each week but it's all good.

He and Namjoon are good friends now, and he is also good friends with Yoongi and Jungkook now too.

Taehyung and Jimin are over visiting at Jin's apartment, and Jin hasn't seen them in about half a year. They both are commenting on how big Hoseok has gotten, playing with him, complaining because it's hot and Jin's air conditioner isn't on because it raises the power bill, and drinking up all of Jin's iced tea.

"How have you been, Jin-hyung?" Jimin asks, twirling a short strand of his black hair around his finger.

Jin has always liked Jimin. He's kind, caring, cute, and he laughs at Jin's jokes, unlike Jin's own brother (fucking rude). He couldn't have picked a better friend for Taehyung. Since Taehyung has been friends with him for so long, Jimin is like a second little brother to Jin.

"Okay now that I have my new job," he tells him, and the two boys nod. "I lost my old job and was struggling, not able to really eat. But then this new job came up, and although I have to wear a dress and leggings, it's really great."

"That's good, hyung," Taehyung says with a smile. "I'm proud of you."

"Thanks," Jin replies, and just then, his flip phone buzzes in his pocket. He pulls it out and reads the text from Namjoon.

'Hey, I'm over at Yoongi's, wanna come hang out??'

Jin responds back with, 'My brother and his friend are over here though.'
