Kool-aid (taegi)

"Taehyung, I'm sorry, let me in please?"

It's Saturday.

On Saturdays I usually play DS games with JB or watch supernatural reruns with Jae, but neither of them are talking to me. They've been cooped up in their rooms all day, only coming out for food or the bathroom and then returning with slammed doors.

I tried talking to them about skipping school. It started out as the usual, education can take you far in life, pep talk. When that wasn't getting anywhere I went for a different approach. Bribery.

Youngjae's favorite snack is kettle corn, so I made him some.

I bought JB the new fire emblem game.

Nothing worked.

I could always invite Jimin over. Too bad he's being a total pain in the ass. Hoseok caused them to lose their streaks and now he won't stop bitching about it. I get it. Eight months was a lot, but complaining won't bring them back.

To top it all off Yoongi ignored me yesterday at school!

I tried to run laps with him at pe. Me being the clumsy person I am tripped a few times scrapping up my knees. As soon as he spotted the first droplet of blood his face went ghost pale.

I don't know, maybe he's squeamish about that sort of thing, so I tried apologizing at lunch. He always sits alone by the swimming pool. But this time he wasn't there. I knew he was avoiding me purposely so now I'm avoiding him.

Hmpf

"What's that racket?" Dad asks descending the stairs in nothing but pjs.

"Morning " I mumble, handing him the box of cereal in my hands.

He sits himself down with a loud groan on the carpet behind the coach. A position where I have full view of the door in which Yoongi stands behind begging for my attention.

"Who's that?" He scoops up a handful of cereal and hands the box back.

"Nobody." I say shrugging my shoulders

"Nobody as in you really don't know or as in you don't want to tell your old man?" He laughs, eyes crinkling in delight. His goatee had cereal flakes in it.

It's true that I didn't know much about Yoongi besides the tiny things I observed. He's always wearing long sleeves no matter how hot. And he doesn't eat at school.

"Both"

He nods his head in understanding before getting up. " well, if you aren't going to talk to me at least let the poor boy in and talk to him. I'm going back to sleep."

Just like that he was gone and I was all alone again. Just me and my cereal.

With a sigh I made my way over to follow his instructions. No point in just sitting here pouting right?

"What?" I growl flinging the door open.

Yoongi stumbles forward aimlessly before catching himself on his tippy toes, leaning precariously just outside the threshold. Oh yeah, he never entered anyone's house unless they invited him in. Weird if you asked me, but I was always down for weird.

"Uh-uh" he stutters "hi."

I frown "hi? Is that it?"

His sleek dark eyebrows shoot up in surprise.Apparently he didn't think this through

"Um " he clears his throat "no, it's just, I missed you at school, so I didn't get to ask if you were free to hang out."

I cross my arms

"So, are you? Free to hang out?"

"No, I'm expensive. It'll cost you."

He seems to relax a bit at my words,but he still doesn't smile. Instead he smirks.

"What'll it cost me then for your company?"

"A date."
