“How many do you have on?” Taehyung asked Yoonsoo with an almost challenging expression. “I bet I have more than you do!”

“I bet I have more than you do. You just can’t see it because of the bandages. Now, get lost!” Yoonsoo responded flatly from where he was lying on the floor.

“You know, you’re starting to sound like Suga hyung.” Jungkook quipped as he filmed his band mates.

“You regret telling me to be me myself already, Baby Jungkook? But I do not sound like Yoongi… This is just me telling you guys not to bother me when I’m aching allover.” Yoonsoo tried not to let his irritation seep into his words.

“So mean… Let’s go bother Hobie hyung instead.” Jimin commented with disappointment as he gestured for the two other maknaes  to follow him to where J-Hope was resting.

The group had been practicing for the upcoming special stage for a certain entertainment channel for six hours straight and it showed in the hyung line how tired they all were. When they were dismissed for a short break almost all five of them scrambled to get a good spot to lie down on in the dressing room, unbothered by the staff and the maknaes.

“What did the kids want?” Namjoon asked casually from his place on a short brown sofa near Yoonsoo’s real estate, his legs dangling over one arm rest.

Yoonsoo looked up to see Namjoon adjust his position so that he could see Yoonsoo face to face. “They tried to trick me into taking my bandages off again.” Yoonsoo dead panned. “No. But for real, they wanted to know how many pain relief patches I have on. I think Tae wanted to prove that he has the most patches on.”

“And how many do you have on?”

“None. Haha!”

“What!? Aren’t your muscles screaming in pain after all that dancing?”

“I’m used to this kind of pain… The only downside is that I become short-fused and hungry for ramen.” Yoonsoo remembered when he was still younger and worked his muscles harder than this - the times he and his best friend went to his favorite noodle shop to make it all better.

“Deabak… You keep surprising me. You’re not only a blood thirsty alcoholic. You’re also a masochist!” Namjoon joked, referring to what he now knew of the member, which earned him a playful kick on the leg from Yoonsoo.

“Yah! Just because someone has high alcohol tolerance, it doesn’t mean they’re an alcoholic!” Suga suddenly commented loudly from his mat on the floor nearby.

“True. But if that makes me an alcoholic, Min Yoongi is an alcoholic too! Hahaha!” Yoonsoo teased, making fun of Yoongi’s outburst. Namjoon smiled. It was certainly easier to get along with Yoonsoo than to fight him.

Across the room, the maknae line interviewed Hoseok.

“Hyung, what can you say about the personality Yoonsoo-ssi is finally revealing to us? Don’t you think he’s like Suga hyung?” Jungkook  zoomed his camera on Hoseok as he asked his questions, filling the screen with Hobie’s face.

“His personality… sometimes I don’t notice that he’s there. Like a ghost… A ghost that could kill you. Other times, I feel like he’s a kid trapped in a man’s body. Sort of like Jin hyung… By the way, what do you plan on doing with this video? Will you upload it?” Hoseok curiously asked.

“Bang PD-nim suggested that I do a video for Bangtan Bomb. To unofficially introduce Yoonsoo hyung to the fans – like a teaser. I said I’d give it a shot. I’m trying to film him but he’s really hard to catch on video without making it obvious that it’s about him. It’s supposed to be a secret. He knows when he is the focus and just ruins the shot. If I go on like this, hyung, all I will have would be a ton of videos of him telling me to leave.” Jungkook helplessly answered. He was happy to be given his first official film production project but the subject was giving him trouble.

“Want my help, Jungkook-ah!? Let’s get him drunk so he can loosen up! Let’s see how Lee Yoonsoo acts when he’s not sober.” Hoseok suggested mischievously, wiggling his eyebrows at Jungkook PD-nim.

“We already saw that. It’s practically just like today but colder.” Taehyung butt in, totally unimpressed with Hoseok’s suggestion. Jimin, on the other hand, was busy striking poses in the background.

“Hey! Didn’t he say he’ll be our body guard? Let’s ask him to tag along while we go on a walk. Let’s prepare provoking activities for him while we roam. I bet that’d be fun for ARMY to watch! And they won’t be too shocked because we’d be in the video too.” Taehyung was obviously starting to get all excited. Hoseok doubted if Taehyung didn’t start to map out his elaborate day out yet.

“The four over there!” Yoonsoo called out as he prepped himself up on one arm and faced where Hoseok and the maknaes were. “Yeah, you four! Why do you keep on looking at me like you’re planning my murder?”

Jungkook’s eyes widened as he looked at Hoseok and mouthed see to him.//
