he gulped. stupid parties always ruins yoongi's relationships, but he was here for jungkook, not for hoseok. they joined the  group, yoongi made sure to stay glued to jungkook's side. yoongi felt as if he was falling, his stomach had already dropped now he was waiting for the rest of his body to do the same. hoseok still glowed, blind to yoongi's dark clouds. hoseok's aura never failed to enchant yoongi, the man is surrounded by pixie dust and flowers, the sun follows him. hoseok has his own weather. the world revolves around him, yoongi was so sure of that.

he felt jungkook gently poke his side, bringing yoongi out of whatever trance he was in. looking up yoongi found all eyes on his, each piercing look trying too see into his soul. at least that's what it felt like. yoongi's mouth opened to say something but his brain was blank, he was caught off guard. he looked at jungkook.

"tell them your name, hyung," jungkook said with a gentle glint in his doe eyes, a small smile emerged on his face.

yoongi quickly regained his composure, or at least he tried to before quietly spluttering out "oh, hello my name is min yoongi."

everyone murmured things along the lines of "nice to meet you" and whatnot. yoongi cursed himself for always being away with the fairies. a beat went by, and another. their small circle fell silent, despite the roar of the party everything was quite in the small group which felt like the entire world. before yoongi's mind has time to wander hoseok pipes up.

"how about we play a game," he suggests. jimin had clambered off hoseok's lap and nestled himself in the small space between hoseok and the arm of the couch. everyone nodded and brainstormed games to play. yoongi took this time to advert his attention back to hoseok, like jungkook, hoseok hadn't made much of an effort to dress up but looked effortlessly cool. he wore black jeans with a rip at the knee and a baggy name brand hoodie. the epitome of boyfriend material, yoongi thought. hoseok looked yoongi's way and flashed him a smile. yoongi smiled back, not with the power of one thousand suns like hoseok did, but with enough warmth it made hoseok happy. after a beat hoseok averted his attention to the people deciding which game to play. yoongi on the other hand just admired hoseok's godly profile.

ideas for a party game to play were thrown around. someone suggested the paper game. that someone almost got smacked. yoongi smiled, he had to admit there are upsides to parties but that doesn't out weigh the downsides. his smile disappeared, the memories oozing back into his mind. before they take over the memories scurried away when a hand tapped yoongi's shoulder.

"would you like anything to drink?" jungkook asked, he was now standing and had his head tilted to one side like a puppy's. adorable.

yoongi shook his head and smiled politely, "i'm good for now." jungkook nodded and spun around on his heels headed for the kitchen. yoongi prayed that jungkook would come back in one piece. he did wonder if there was food at this party or if he would have to order some or his own. or starve.

the group settled on starting off with paranoia, yoongi actually knows this one despite him avoiding ever party like it was the plague. to play you go around in a circle, whispering a question to each other. a coin is then flipped and decides if you have to say the question out loud or if it stays a secret between you and your neighbour.

"i'll go first," jimin says in a sing-song voice, flashing his sickly charming eye smile. he could see hoseok's expression soften at the sound of jimin's voice, he was melting. yoongi's stomach dropped falling all the way to his feet. yoongi sank, his shoulders slumping and his head hung low. yoongi knew hoseok's expression all to well. in fact yoongi was very guilty of wearing the same one. it made him sick to his stomach, he didn't know why he was acting like this, jimin wasn't doing anything, nor was hoseok but yoongi hated it. he hated it with every fibre of his being, the dark energy twisted and turned in his stomach.

he bit down on his bottom lip hard, but not hard enough to draw blood. jungkook casually slung his arm over yoongi's shoulders, making him tense up and straighten his posture. yoongi turned his head to face jungkook, he wore a lazy smile across his chiseled jaw. effortlessly handsome. yoongi then turned his had to jimin who was whispering a question to hoseok, hoseok's expression changed each time jimin uttered a word to him. this is going to be something, not exactly good but something.
hoseok thought about his answer for a moment before his lips curved into a smile, "i choose yoongi.".

yoongi writhed in his place making jungkook turn to look at him, he wore a concerned expression. yoongi flashed him a quick smile, his mouth smiled but his eyes didn't. millions of questions ran through yoongi's mind, his heart was beating out of his chest, his legs were tingly. yoongi watched hoseok, who nonchalantly flipped a coin. it landed i heads, hoseok let out a sigh of relief. yoongi furrowed his brows, why was hoseok relieved ?, he thought. yoongi shook the thought away, he needed to stop, he was acting so pathetically.

the game continued, jungkook was exposed and confessed that his guilty pleasure was barbie movie. it reached yoongis turn and he laughed nervously. jungkook paused for a moment, his finger rested on his lips as thought.

"please don't make it a stupid question," yoongi joked, he spoke quiet enough so that only jungkook could hear.

jungkook's lips curved into a cheeky grin. "no promises, mr min."

yoongi laughed. with a side glance he could see that hoseok was reacting to his and jungkook's exchange, could he be jealous? yoongi had no time to decipher what emotion was displayed on hoseoks face as jungkook leaned in and whispered to yoongi.

"out of everyone in this circle, who's body would you lick ice cream off of?" jungkook cooed. classic jungkook. it was stupid question.

yoongi couldn't help smile and shake his head slowly at how endearing jungkook was. an answer entered yoongis mind and he smirked. he glanced quickly at jungkook, subtlety biting his bottom lip. as yoongi said his answer he made sure to catch hoseok gaze.

"hmm, jungkook," yoongi said, suddenly ballsy.

as he uttered that name hoseok's jaw clenched. yoongi noticed, maybe he is jealous.
