water splashes on my face as i sit on the roof, sun-soaking. "what the fuck?" i scream. "i'm bored." jimin's voice is evident. i wipe the water off my face. "was it necessary to pour water on me?" i peek an eye out to see him. he smiles and nods, "yes." what a hoe. i look for the bucket or bowl that was once filled with water. "run, jimi." i warn him as i reach out for the bucket. the connection between me and the bucket is evident in his eyes. he starts shaking his head slowly, "am, no..." i smile, "am, yes."

jimin makes a dart for the door back downstairs. I quickly follow, trying not to slip and break a bone -- or head into a coma. i'm stopped by yoongi who looks between me and a frightened jimin, who is far on the other side of the room. "why are you wet?" he asks me. "take a guess." i bitterly respond. my regret came with it as soon as yoongi opened his mouth, "jungkook?" he and jimin busted in a fit of giggles. "what? no. jimshit here poured water on me when i was on the roof." i explain, trying to throw in a slap for his comment.

yoongi laughs and runs over to give jimin a quick high five before quickly running back to me. "don't hurt him. he's an idiot." he assures me. i watch jimin's joyous face drop. now it was my turn to laugh. "you shit, you're suppose to be on my side!" jimin was about ready to square up with him. i notice namjoon come in from the corner of my eye. quietly, i walk over to him. it was like a moment of telepathy went over us as we made eye contact the moment we saw yoongi and jimin come chest-to-chest with each other.

jimin ended up dancing like he was being electrocuted, accidentally (although this wasn't confirmed) hitting yoongi in the face and in the stomach. "that's enough of you two for the day." i shake my head and start heading to my room. i wanted to avoid the argument that was about to come from that little incident.

"oh yeah," namjoon says to himself, "am, want to help me run some errands?" i turn over to him, "there are six other people in this house, and you ask me?" he shrugs his shoulders for a moment and sends a smile my way. "i don't want to go with one of those two," he does a quick head tilt towards jimin and yoongi, "and i don't know where the other four guys are." we stare at each other for a moment, he looking at me with desperation and me looking at him analytically.

i watch as he attempted to be cute and laugh when he pouted his lips and opened his eyes wider. "fine. i'll go with. i won't like it, though." i tell him. i hear a little 'yes' cheer out of his mouth. i roll my eyes and point to my room, "let me go put on some dry clothes. i'm sure you don't want your car soaked."

"this one." i say, pointing to a bag of rice. we were at a grocery store buying food. namjoon picks up two bags of rice and puts it in the cart. i then lead the way to the frozen food area where i will pick the meats for upcoming dinner and namjoon with choose the vegetables just on the other side of it. 

i scan the meats and settled on some beefs and some chicken, but also got at least one steak item just because. i walk over to the vegetable area (where it was less fucking cold) and put the meats in the bags. "am, do me a favor and get some packs of water too. that's on the list." namjoon tells me, holding up the grocery list. i salute him and walk off to the aisle with drinks.

as i scan my water choices, someone taps me on the shoulder. at first, i jump before taking a good luck at the stranger who tapped me. "choi amor?" he asks. the beating of my heart rushes to my ears as i fully take in the person in front of me, "oh my god." he smiles as he realizes i recognize him. "it's been a while, huh?" he tries to make small talk, but i just nod in agreement.

his hand goes up to scratch behind his neck, and you can suddenly see the awkwardness surrounding us. he takes a look between me and the brands of waters in front of us. "do you need help?" he asks me. i shrug my shoulders, "it's fine, really. i can do two trips for this." he shakes his head, "no let me help you." 

"no, it's fine."

"you sure?"

i wasn't but i didn't want him near me anymore.

i nod my head, "i'm sure." 

i pick a cheap water brand and quickly walk out the aisle to find namjoon. i basically drop the water pack into the cart, and to my unpleasant surprise the person that i didn't want to be by followed me with the same pack.

namjoon, startled by the droppings of water packs, looks between me and the boy next to me. "was that really necessary?" he's looking at me as he says that, "and who is your friend?"

before i can say anything, before i can say one think to namjoon. i hear, "hi, my name is rhee hyun. i'm a close friend, or at least was, with amor."
