Gee POV
I follow the maknae into a messy room.
"Sorry, it's a little messy. You can sleep there," He points to a single clean bed.
"That's Tae's bed but he'll sleep somewhere else," I smile thankfully at him.
"And where will you sleep?" I ask.
"My bed," He points at another pile of clothes.
"THAT'S A BED?!" I exclaim.
"Yup....is there a problem?" He asks.
"Nope, not at all, if you're good I'm fine,"
"Good," he yawns and stretches and begins taking his shirt off.
"What are you doing?!?!" I cover my eyes with my arms.
"Going to bed...what's the big deal?"
"You took your shirt off!"
"So what?! All guys do that before going to bed,"
"NO! For the sake of decency!"
"Just close your eyes. There's no problem if you can't see me, right?"
"Jerk," I throw a pillow at him.
"I'm switching off the light," I roll over, facing away from him.
"So do you guys always go to bed late?" I ask.

"Yeah. Today we can actually go to sleep early," my mouth drops wide open.
"Early? But it's 11:00!" Even if I can't see him, I think he's smirking.
"Exactly. Tomorrow we have to go practice for the debut of idol. Our outfits are done, but we need to make preparations for the next live performance," I hear how tired he is in his voice...but the amount of practice they put into their performances is incredible.
"Just sleep. You work hard, so you deserve it," I say.
"But...I have to try harder...for ARMY," he groans.
"Shhhh, you should go to sleep,"

"I can't," his words
"Why?" I ask.
"Because in the end, you'll end up running away from me,"
"What?" I feel disoriented.
"All the girls eventually leave,"
"What kind of nonsense is that?" I question.
"It's true! When Hoseok's sister introduced me to her fri–never mind you probably don't care," I hear the sound of blankets shifting.
"No, I do care. C'mon Kookie, I wanna hear it,"

"Well, I became friends with Hoseok's sister, and then ARMY started going crazy and I had to break it off. And that was just one friendship. When I had my first girlfriend before Trainee days, things were fine until fans dug up my past and started harassing her online. Now, what will things be like when we introduce Min-Ji? And you are living with us too....I don't know how fans will react," he explains.
"You don't have to worry. They'll love her. And our friendship doesn't have to be made public. What will they do if they see us speaking? Burn me? I'm on your staff, they can't do anything,"

"You're right...but soon enough you'll have to leave too,"

"Kookie..."

"You get some sleep Gee...I'm actually not very tired right now,"

"Then let's talk. I don't want you to suffer in silence. Get things off your chest," I offer. He stays silent for a moment.

"Fine...anyway...how are things going with you....and my hyung?" He asks.

"Great...I think he's just a bit worried because of our age difference,"

"Well that shouldn't matter much. Age is just a number,"

"I know, right?! Try telling him that,"

"Don't worry, he's like a ball of sunshine. He'll warm up to you. But remember; what you see on camera isn't the real Hobi. Sometimes, he forgets that he's Hoseok. Just make room in your heart for both of them," I smile and laugh a bit.

"I will. Thanks Jungkook. I'm pretty sure being in a relationship is hard because of work. But you'll find someone. Every member will, eventually. Kinda like how Jimin and Min-Ji ended up," I console him.

"I hope I will. But Gee....in case things don't work out with hyung, I just want to let you know that I'm here for you. If you wanna talk, o-or if you need a shoulder to cry on, I'm here," He stutters.

"Thanks Kookie. I'll do the same for you. If you need anything, I'm your girl," even if I can't see him, I can sense him blushing. "You know, if you seem like a playboy, you are actually pretty shy....like a bunny," I giggle.

"Hey! I'm not a bunny. I'm 22~I know everything I need to know. And I'm totally an international playboy," I laugh. "Hey! Stop laughing! It's true," He scolds.

"Yeah yeah, I know, I've seen the videos online where you try to avoid girls at all costs because you're shy," I retort.

"Gee-ah!!" He whines.

"Goodnight Jungkook,"

"Goodnight Gee,"
