"No! I would most definitely not do that" Jimin yelled while slamming his hands down on the wooden table "I won't trash Mrs. Hyun's front yard, that poor old lady must have too many cats to worry about and she most definitely wouldn't like me to trash her lawn"

"Yah" Yoongki grabbed the plastic red cup and placed it in front of where Jimin was sitting "You're not doing the dare so you have to drink the beer". Jimin sat down and chugged down the drink in one go. Currently, Namjoon ordered pizza for the group and we were playing truth or dare with beer. If you didn't do answer a question or do a dare you would have to drink beer. Taehyung suggested to play the game but Jimin had chosen a lot of Truths so Taehyung pushed him to do a dare. 

"Okay, my turn to choose someone", his brown eyes scanned the group. His eyes darted past Taehyung and then to Namjoon, but just when I thought he was going to choose Joon, my name was called out. 

"Hazel", Jimin smirked, I let out a soft sigh. "Truth or Dare?"

"I choose... Truth", right Hazel, let's play it safe this round. "Okay!" he grinned 

"Is there anyone you like?", I opened my mouth, should I tell them? 

Knowing Taehyung and Jimin, they probably would want to nag me until the end of the game, but I can just drink if I don't want to tell them Yoongi's name. I almost instinctively looked at Yoongki but managed to refrain myself. 

"Yeah, I do like someone," I said simply "Wahhh" Jimin and Taehyung yelled out 

"Who is it?!" Taehyung excitedly asked "Its not your turn yet to ask questions" I smirked

"That's no fair" he pouted "Well, who are you going to choose Hazel?" Namjoon questioned

I looked at the boys and my eyes landed on Yoongi who hasn't been called since the last two rounds, "I choose Yoongi"

"And here I thought I was going to be safe until the last round" he let out a sigh "I choose Truth because I'm too lazy to move" I shook my head and chuckled. Typical Yoongi.

"Have you ever been in love?" I asked, he frowned and started thinking deeply. "I've liked someone before but I don't think it was ever to the point that I could say that I loved her. We were in high school and we were still young and immature. To close it cleanly, no, I've never been in love"

"You've dated someone hyung?", Namjoon asked and I let out a laugh "Why? Is it that surprising?"

"Yup", us four said at the same time "It really isn't..." Yoongi murmured softly. 

"I choose Taehyung", Yoongi took a bit of his pizza "I'm gonna go for... Dare"

"Eat a tablespoon of soy sauce"

"Oh no..." Taehyung said "God damn it, fine" he stood up and went to the kitchen. He took out a spoon and then grabbed the soy sauce from the counter, he squeezed the bottle and liquid poured out of the opening. Just when the spoon was centimeters away from his lips, my phone rang, scaring the living crap out of me. Taehyung dropped the spoon and he let out a sigh of relief. 

I gazed at the contact and my eyes widened, it was the owner of the apartment I was renting. 

"Excuse me guys, I have to take this phone call"

"Go ahead" Namjoon smiled at me, I swiped the screen and stood up. "Hello Ms. Kim", I headed towards the living room where it was quiet. "Hello Hazel, sorry to bother at such time but I called to remind you that the payment is due tomorrow"

"Oh..." Did my mom not pay this month's rent yet? "My mother hasn't installed the payment yet"

"Unfortunately no, she told me you were going to start paying your bills now"

"Wait, what?", my mouth dropped in shock "She didn't tell me anything about this"

"Well, either way, I'm sorry but I can't delay payday"

"It's alright... I'll talk to my mother. Thank you for letting me know"

"Okay, have a good night, Hazel"

"You too Ms. Kim", I hanged up and sat down with a sigh on the couch. Why would my mom not discuss this with me?

"Everything alright?" Namjoon approached me with a glass of water. "Did you-"

"Yeah... sorry I overheard your talk", I let out an aggravated groan "I'm really sorry", he apologized again as if I was mad at him. "I'm not mad at you Namjoon", I let out a chuckle "It's just this is something that hasn't happened before. Something must have happened to my mother"

"Why don't you call her?", he gazed at me with his soft brown eyes, I looked back at him. Something just pulling me towards his mature eyes "I... really should", I looked away. 

I must be going crazy. 

"I'll be here with you" I furrowed my eyebrows "If you want me to I mean"

"That would be nice" He nodded and put the glass of water in front of me "Here you go, drink some water, you might need it", I cracked a smile "I probably might"

I drank some water and called my mother. The phone rang for ages but then it stopped ringing, "Hello Hazel", my mothers cold voice resonated and for a moment I was thinking of hanging up but then I looked at Namjoon and he gave me a reassuring smile, it made me feel better. 

"Hi Mom," I said softly "Do you need anything?" she asked 

"Actually, I called to ask you something"

"Well talk", cold again "The owner of my apartment called saying that the payment was due tomorrow, I thought you said you were going to pay for the first few months of college?"

"I did but your father had a problem at the hospital and things are not going the way they were supposed to"

"Oh..." I closed my eyes "Well is there any way you can help me?"

"I can send you pocket money but I can't do anything more"

"So let me get this clear, you're not wasting the money on alcohol or cigarettes but on dad's well being right?", there was a moment of silence "Yes... of course"

"Okay mom, I'll see if I can get a loan and pay off the rental for the apartment. Don't worry too much and take care of yourself and Dad too"

"Mhm"

"Alright Mom, I'll see you tomorrow", and she hung up without another word. 

Somehow I wanted to believe her.

"Did everything go well?" Namjoon asked but I shook my head "I guess I'll have to get a loan for this month's rental and then pay it off as soon as possible"

"I can help you if you want me to Hazel", I shook my head "I can't put this on you besides we only just met a few days ago, I can't burden you"

"Well, if that's how you feel then I'll accept it" He patted my shoulder "If you need an extra hand just know you can rely on me, alright?"

I almost cried, he was such a good person. "Thank you Joon"

"Joon? Is that my nickname?", he laughed "Yup, you're Joon", I smiled playfully. " Its like the month June, I like it"

"Haha"

I wish I could believe her... I want to believe her.
