White Shirts - JK X Reader FF

Bad Timing

I fumbled with the keys and hurried to open the door. The smell of smoke hit my nose and a loud smoke detector sounded through the house.

Jungkook rushed inside and sprinted to his bedroom to change while I set my bag down on the floor.
Jimin was positioned in front of the window with a fan, blowing the smoke out of the room. I turned my gaze toward the charred curtains and my jaw dropped.

Where a foot and a half of white fabric would be, a miserable looking pile of ashes lay instead. I turned to look at Jimin, who very determinedly avoided my gaze. I spun around to glare at Namjoon and Seokjin, who suddenly found the floor much more
interesting.

Yoongi sat on the couch shaking his head and Hoseok stood in the hallway, attempting to turn off the smoke detector.

Taehyung was no where to be found.

"I leave for two hours.." I began. "And the house catches on FIRE? Do you know how much those curtains costed? Four hundred dollars! And for what? For someone to set them on FIRE?"

"Y/n, they didn't mean-" I cut Yoongi off.
"-And you! You didn't stop them? Or you?" I point to Namjoon.

"I tried but Taehyung-" Namjoon stops himself mid sentence to look at Taehyung hiding behind a corner in the hall.

I cross my arms.
"You. Explain yourself."

Taehyung shuffled out of the hall.
"We were bored sitting at home.. so we started a game of truth or dare and.." He twisted his hands.

"And what?"

"And Jimin dared me to-"
"-I didn't dare you! It was a joke!"

Jimin and Taehyung argued back and forth until I stopped them.

"Hey. Hey! I'm not blaming anyone! I just thought you guys were smarter than this. I nearly wrecked the car driving here because I thought someone would get hurt." I suddenly felt a lump in my throat.

"I just- I just wish you wouldn't worry me."

"Y/n, We're so sorry." Jimin said, walking over to me. I pulled him in a hug and signaled Taehyung to join.

"It's okay.." I muttered while Taehyung and everyone else joined the hug.

"Just please don't play with fire." I said, squeezing the arms around me.

They hummed in agreement and hugged quietly.

"SHIT!"

A loud curse sounded from Jungkook's room and the hug dispersed.

"What? What?" Namjoon called and Jungkook came running into the living room.
Jungkook's face was pale and frightened, hair tussled and messy.

"My mom.. She's coming over."

The entire room turned toward me and gave me a pitiful look.

"Well, me and Jimin need to go practice. Bye guys" Hoseok and Jimin hastily left the house. Yoongi, Namjoon, and Seokjin followed.

"What..? But we need your help! What am I supposed to do about the curtains?" Jungkook panicked and looked at Taehyung hopefully.

"We can just... Take them off! Yeah. Come on." Taehyung started to unclip the curtains from the window and Jungkook almost ran to help.

I stood in the middle of the room processing what just happened.

"Jungkook..?" I called weakly.

"What?"

"When is your mom coming over?"

"Uhh.." He pulled out his phone and checked the time. "About fifteen minutes."
