Ripple: BTS AU Story ✓

Chapter 11

Hello everyone! It's karaoke night. The boys are going to party and have some fun. I hope you enjoy this chapter. Side note, I don't own any of the songs used in this chapter. They all belong to the respective singers and songwriters. Oh, this chapter will be in third person point of view.

Jin sighs as he waits for the rest of the guys to arrive. He has already moved the tables so there is more room for them to hang out. He taps his fingers on the counter top. He needed to see some friendly faces after the day he's had. He shakes his head and glances at the kitchen doors. What a mess? Suddenly, the door opens and in walks Yoongi and Hoseok. "Hi, Jin hyung. We're here." Hoseok says with a smile. Yoongi nods his head before plopping down in a seat. "Good to see you guys again. Long day, Yoongi?" Yoongi only grunts in response and frowns. Hoseok walks over and gently pokes Yoongi in the arm. "C'mon. We all had a pretty bad day. Smile a little," Hoseok says. Yoongi looks at Hoseok for a minute before giving him a fake grin. "Eh, I'll take it," Hoseok says turning to face Jin, "So, hyung. Your kitchen blew up?"

"The oven," Jin replies, "But, the kitchen is not in the best shape."

"That stinks. When will you be able to open the restaurant back up?" Hoseok asks.

"I'm not too sure. I'll have to wait and find out," Jin replies. As he says this, Namjoon walks through the door. He gives a small smile to the group before sitting down in the seat next to Yoongi. Yoongi looks at Namjoon, contemplating whether or not he should tell him to move. In the end, he decides against it. Namjoon starts talking to Yoongi, even though it is clear that he doesn't want to talk. "Yoongi hyung, I wanted to show you something that I worked on a while ago. Since you're a music producer, I thought you could tell me what you think," Namjoon says handing him his phone. Yoongi looks at Namjoon for a second before taking the phone. Namjoon passes him earbuds, which Yoongi takes and slips into his ears. Yoongi nods his head as he listens. Namjoon looks at him, waiting for him to finish. Hoseok and Jin talk about their day and how they plan to fix their problems. When Yoongi finishes he hands Namjoon back his belongings. The two start to talk about the music and lyrics and stuff like that. The older members of the group continue to talk, waiting for the younger ones to arrive. After another thirty minutes, they all began to wonder where they could be. The four men all look at one another with confused looks. "Where are they?" Namjoon asks.

Hoseok shrugs, "Your guess would be as good as mine..."

"You don't think they're in danger or anything, right," Jin says with a frown.

Yoongi shakes his head, "No. They're probably just running a little late. They'll be here soon." Just as Yoongi says this, the restaurant door opens. Jimin walks in followed by Jungkook. "Sorry, we're late," Jimin says taking a seat next to Hoseok.

"It's fine, not that big of a deal," Namjoon says.

Jin shakes his head and exclaims loudly, "It's not fine! I was worried! I thought something bad had happened to you!"

"Hyung, they're here now. Calm down and stop talking so loudly. You're making my ears hurt," Yoongi states.

Jungkook scratches the back of his neck sheepishly, "I'm the reason we were a bit late. I called Jimin hyung to pick me up."

"Yeah, I was already close to your restaurant when Jungkook called. But, I turned back around and went to pick him up. Because I'm a good hyung," Jimin adds. The older half of the group nods their heads. "What about Taehyung? Where's he?" Hoseok asks.

"No idea, I thought he would be here by the time we arrived," Jimin says.

"Oh, no! What if something happened to him? What if he got in trouble for buying alcohol? He could be in jail!" Jin says with animated gestures.
