"What?!" Both Jimin and Hoseok say in unison, their orbs the size of saucers. 'What could Jungkook possibly be up to now?' Hoseok wonders.

Taehyung was too busy biting down on his lower lip, frightened and confused as to why Jungkook would want to take him on a date if he hates him?

Behind the young junior, stood a calm looking Namjoon. Although that was his outer appearance. Inside, he was burning with rage and annoyance. His hands curl into fists, attempting to keep his cool. He knew that approaching the situation with violence would only worsen it so he tried to be sneaky with his actions.

Hoseok wasn't quite sure what to do. If he wins then Jungkook might actually keep to his word and leave Taehyung alone. However, if he loses...

"How do I know you wouldn't go back on your words?" The ruby haired male questions with a glare to his eye. Jungkook sniggers, taking a step forward which causes Hoseok to shield Taehyung better. Namjoon immediately places his hands onto Taehyung's shoulders, making the junior glance up to see Namjoon staring straight like what he's doing is completely normal. The grey headed boy blushes madly at the small gesture, his heart hammering aggressively in his chest.

"I promise to leave Taehyung alone if you win." He announces while placing his hand out to shake. Hoseok glances at the hand before looking back to see what Taehyung would want. After all, it was his life they were basically betting on. "What do you think?" He questions, tilting his head at Taehyung who was staring at his fingers. The ash haired junior thought over his options. He just really wanted to leave but he knew that if he did Jungkook would just bother him again.

Though if Hoseok fails then Taehyung has to go with Jungkook anyway.

In the end, Taehyung agrees. What could he possibly lose? Besides some time with Jungkook.

Hoseok steps forward, shaking hands with the sophomore who was grinning from ear to ear. As the junior goes to pick up one of the pool cues, Jimin grabs ahold of his wrist. "You know you don't have to do this. He's just being childish, don't fall for his behaviour." He attempts to pull Hoseok out of the situation, not wanting things to get ugly.

But when Hoseok puts forward a promise, he falls through with it no matter what and having Jungkook in front of him right now, wanting to bet made him all the more determined to win.

"This is ridiculous! Taehyung, say something!" Jimin raises his voice a little as he gazes over towards the 'prize.' Taehyung stood like a deer in headlights, not entirely sure what to say right in that moment. "Hey! Don't raise your voice at him!" Hoseok hisses, causing Jimin to cower ever so slightly at the bitterness in the junior's tone.  Jimin was taken back by Hoseok's coldness, though he shouldn't be surprised. Hoseok was always protective of Taehyung but having the older act this way towards him only causes a small crack to break out over his heart.

The blonde jock decides to keep his lips shut, not wanting to upset Hoseok anymore. They watch on as Jungkook and Hoseok stare at one another. "By all means, you can break first." The brunette suggests to the older with a smirk. Hoseok glares at Jungkook before taking his stand to break. Namjoon lowers his head so that it's placed on Taehyung's shoulder, beside his ear. "Are you really sure about this?" He asks to which the younger lightly squeals before covering his lips with his hands. His orbs widen when he realises what he's just done. With reddened cheeks, he frantically nods his head, not really knowing what Namjoon was asking.

They all watch on as Hoseok pots a stripe ball. He continues on, managing to get another one in. Taehyung was surprised by how good the elder junior was at the game while Jungkook stood with a slight grumpy looking expression on his lips. He had a small suspicion that Hoseok could be good but he didn't expect the older to be this good.
