39: Cutting Strings

"What's going on?" Jin demands.

You and Jungkook stand in front of six pairs of piercing eyes, like victims caught red handed in the spotlight. Neither of you speak. Too much has been said, too much has been exchanged and too fast.

Your mind is whizzing with thoughts yet you're too overwhelmed to think. Despite everyone in the room the only person you can see is Jungkook. The way he is looking back at you is in a way you have never experienced before. You're torn between diving your attention between him and the other six guys who always happen to walk in at he worst times.

"Hold up a second, " Jimin is the first one to speak as he addresses the first secret of the night. His eyes land upon you, uncertainly and then flicker towards Jungkook.

"Y/N, you kissed Jungkook?"

You swallow hardly, disliking how you were the first one to be attacked. However, you don't hesitate to lash out and defend yourself.

"He kissed me! "

"She kissed Hoseok hyung!"Jungkook protests promptly, finding his voice.

All eyes land on Hoseok. A bead of sweat drops down his forehead as the aforementioned meets everyone's expressions with an awkward smile. There is a silence as the arguments sink in. You mentally facepalm yourself realizing how stupid this conversation is. You wait a little nervously for someone to react to say something, although this is quite odd information to process. You suppose they'll begin ask how and when or why but-

"What was it like?" Namjoon asks Hoseok suddenly.

"Their kids would look good, " Taehyung says out of nowhere. His eyes flick between you and Hoseok satisfied as joint images surface in his unique mind.

"Not as good as ours!" Jin argues at once.

"What the hell. "

"Jesus, guys, " Hoseok laughs a little, turning pink from all the sudden attention and praise. He'd just woken up, stumbled upon something slightly embarrassing turned flattering regarding something he'd done recklessly. "We aren't getting married yet. "

"Yet?!" You exclaim, baffled by their responses.

And then the room explodes.

"Kookie why are you lips smeared with chocolate? Did you eat my ice cream bar?" Taehyung demands.

"Wait a second, I don't understand what's going on...Y/N kissed both of them?"

"And Jungkookie has feelings for Y/N? I mean, that was pretty obvious maybe but-" Jin questions as Yoongi turns on Hoseok. "What does Hoseok have to do with this?"

"I swear hyung, I don't know what happened between them but it was no-"

"Why would you do that?! Y/N?"

"Am I dreaming? " Taehyung says again unnecessarily. "Someone pinch me."

"Nah if this was a dream, the rest of us wouldn't be in it. "

This is a nightmare, you think. You have no idea what is even going on. You turn away from them red in the face, palms clasping your face hoping that if you shut your eyes you could escape the coming intervention. And that's when you see it. Your only hope, your light in this dark tunnel of bickering.

A nice gap welcome your freedom between Jin and Namjoon. An escape. Escape this nonsense, this embarrassment, this talking. That sounded very tempting. If you found the right time, you could just run from this, shut yourself in your bedroom or whichever room was the closest and stay in there for years and never come out until everything was forgotten or until they invented a time machine which you could use to go back and erase all of this from ever happening.
