Flaw in the System

"Namj- I told you not to play with the fire." Jin sighed deeply in dissapointment as Hoseok started laughing and trying to smother the fire out on his sleeve. They were currently getting Korean BBQ so that they could relax out of the van.

Jae was sure they smelt a little funny, the pungent herb sticking to their hair and clothes. Namjoon told her that he'd park out back and left the windows down so that it would air out and not stink as much.

She grabbed the tongs from Namjoon's hand and tisked at him as she had begun flipping the meat.

"Can you feed me a wrap?" Hobi batted his eyelashes at her and she bellowed a laugh at his attempt to look cute but nodded and praised him nonetheless. She giggled and fed him the wrap, pecking his lips even though half of the lettuce leaf was blocking it.

"Ow-" A small complaint came from Jungkook who looked down at his finger, it was red and was already starting to blister.

"Oh- baby." Yoongi frowned and gently took his burnt finger and dunked it in his ice water, making the younger hiss. Yoongi kissed his cheek to quiet him and fondly pat his hair.

"Hyung, it hurts." His lip quivered and Yoongi chuckled a bit.

"That's cause you went and burnt your finger. Now, how did that happen?" He asked the crying younger.

"I-I... I was cutting the meat and I guess my hand went t-to low and touched the grill." He sniffled and Yoongi nodded in understanding.

"We'll go to the store and get you medicine." He smiles.

-

They walked into a corner store, Yoongi and Jungkook headed to the medicine and the boys went to go mess around and buy snacks.

"Namjoon, what date is it?" She asked, tilting her head.

"10/30/18. Why?" He asked and she nodded.

"My period should be coming in a few days." She said and he awkwardly shuffled.

"O-oh.. Do you n-need-"

"Yes, Namjoon. I need pads." She chuckles and leaves to find the aisle as Namjoon scampered behind her. "You don't need to follow me," She spoke up and he shook his head.

"N-no, It's ok. I.. I was a scientist. I can handle it. It's normal. I can do it."

"It sounds like your trying to convince yourself more than me." She teased as she turned into the aisle and she picked up what she needed.

"Why do you need this many?" Namjoon hummed as he soon found his arms full with product.

"It's good to have two or three sizes for pads. One large for sleeping, a different formed one for activities and then your normal one. Tampons in case you need to wear a certain thing, you're going swimming or sometimes the pad with give you irritations. Plus, the pad is like wearing a diaper sometimes. Also, summer's eve- Vagina soap. Girls don't technically need it but sometimes when your on your period it's nice to have. Whipes because I'm on a fucking van and sometimes a lil freshness it nice-" Her female needs rant was cut short as she came across a section of condoms, lubes and pregnancy tests.

"We didn't use a condom." She muttered and Namjoon hummed in question as he didn't hear her.

"Neither Yoongi or Jungkook used condoms." She said louder and turned to look at Namjoon, concerned.

She felt like throwing up.

So many things were going through her head, she wasn't having her normal period symptoms, that's why she had to ask the date. She wasn't PMSing and having cravings, no mood swings or cramps. She started feeling dizzy but she took deep breaths.

It's possible that she can't be. Maybe it wasn't ovulation time. It can't be.

She reasoned with herself as Namjoon nervously looked around, not knowing what to answer with.

"So... Do we get.. Condoms?" He asked as he picked up a pregnancy test and scanned the back of the box. His face blushed as he realized that was the wrong box and he stumbled to get it back in it's place, the plastic push making it hard.

"We'll- god damn it joon," She whispered as she put it back for him, "We'll wait and see." She hummed and started to walk away.

"Maybe... Maybe We should get a few of these. Just in case, I mean- this won't be your last pregnancy scare- "

"If it is a scare-"

"Let's just get them until we get settled back home and we'll make an appointment and get you birth control-"

"Maybe I don't want birth control." Her eyebrows furrowed as she wondered why he would suggest it.

"W-w-w-hy wouldn't y-you want it?" He stuttered out, eyes lashing flapping as he didn't understand the situation.

"It messes with hormones Joonie and... I don't think I want that for me." She whispered, feeling self conscious of herself now and her decisions.

"Hey, baby girl... It's okay. There's other forms we can search into, okay?" He assured her and she nods slowly.

She nervously watched Namjoon pick up 2 boxes of tests a a box of condoms.

"Just in case."

Suprise motherfucker.
