A Round Of Jokes

Midpoint Kwan

If the midpoint of segment AB is equal to thirteen units, then I like Sin Kwan fifteen times more.

Wait what?

Sure enough, Jin had written that in his Geometry assignment.

Curses! He likes her too much!

He felt too late the presence behind him, and in a flash it was in another person's hands, a devilish grin curving their lips.

Seokjin stood immediately to try and snatch it back, but the other was faster and smaller than him.

"Yah JaeJae-ah you're so immature give that back!"

Lee Jae's laugh rings throughout the whole Kim household, bouncing around like a ball and avoiding her cousin's grabby hands.

"What's this Seokjinnie? You like Kwan?" she teases with a laugh, enjoying herself and happy at the fact that he likes someone; her best friend no less!

Seokjin groans, his eyes rolling upward before he tries to snatch his homework back with renewed energy. Still, he should've known that Jae would go further just to bring joy upon herself and torture upon him. Isn't that great?

"I demand you give my homework back right this instant!" He tries to be serious, really he did, but it just makes the girl stifle her oncoming guffaws, before the dam finally breaks and the whole house rings with her loud laugh.

"Sshh!" he shushes. "Eomma's gonna hit my head!"

"But you like her?"

The sudden change of expression took him aback. One second she was laughing, and the next she was deathly serious, her eyes dark and her lips thin.

Seeing no reason to lie or deny, he nods mutely.

"I mean, sure she's just there most of the time, and she's sassy and unresponsive to my jokes, but I like her laugh." He smiles, remembering her tinkle and how her lips stretched wide to accommodate the amusement.

But then he frowns a little. "But it's hard to really make her laugh, since she's been so focused on life that she didn't pay attention to what makes her funny bone tickle you get what I mean?"

Jae nods solemnly, totally getting what Jin was trying to say.

"I hear your woes cousin, since I, too suffer the same."

He sighs frustratedly.

"Why's it so hard to really make her chortle and guffaw? A laugh isn't enough you know that." He grabs her shoulders, looking into her eyes. "So help me jebal."

A sigh tumbles out her lips, shoulders sagging with the action.

"I'd love to, Jinnie, you know I do, but even I'm not sure on where to start." She pulls her lips up into an encouraging smile. "But you're doing great so far. Just a little more, I'm sure."

Jin rolls his eyes, but gives his cousin a slight smile of appreciation.

"Ohh you remember Jungkookie?"

She raises a brow.

"You're maknae of the group?"

He nods happily.

"He's a maknaeroni."

She merely rolls her eyes.

"Yeah good job."
