The boys are having a blast. And by "the boys", I mean Hoseok, Jimin, Taehyung, and Jungkook. Taking any opportunity they get, they try to push the wittiest and the smartest together. Yoongi, however, is no pabo, and is quick to notice that something is fishy.

For example, literally two seconds into the celebration itself, as Namjoon and Jin enter the living room, the hooligans take up all the seats except one loveseat, specifically saved for Namjin.

Yoongi eyes it for the perfect place to lay down, and starts to make his way over to his beloved couch, but Hoseok just calmly grabs him and makes Yoongi sit on his lap. Yoongi, a little jungshook, just widens his eyes, slightly flustered.

"Um... listen boi. What exactly are you doing?" Yoongi asks loudly, turning all heads toward him and Hoseok.

"N-nothing. I just... um... wanted you to sit on my lap."

Yoongi shoots him a fake-disgusted face and turns away, hiding his soft, gummy smile from Hobi, as the five boys look at them with confused expressions.


"Um... did we miss something?" Namjoon breaks the awkward silence.

"What?" Hoseok and Yoongi reply in unison.

"Yeah, are you two dating all of a sudden?" Jin pipes up.

"What!? NO!" Immediately, Hoseok pushes Yoongi off of his lap, and the older falls to the ground with a loud thud.

"F*cking sh*t you a**hole that m*therf*cking hurt like a b*tch!" Yoongi, who's sprawled on the floor, yells, rubbing the arm he fell on while glaring at Hobi.

As Hoseok scrambles to help his hyung out, he replies back without thinking, "Actually, Seokjin hyung, are you and Namjoon dating?"


Jin chokes on his own spit. 

"What *cough* are you even *cough cough* talking about!? *cough* That is *cough cough* ridiculous!!! *cough*. He barely completes his quick words of denial as Namjoon jogs to the kitchen to grab him a glass of water.

While Jin tries to breathe again, he can't deny that his anxiety has shot through the roof. "OMGOMGOMG DOES HOSEOK KNOW?! HOW DOES HE KNOW!? DOES EVERYONE KNOW!? "

Jin slowly sips down the water Namjoon hands to him, pretending he doesn't notice that all his friends are staring at him. He doesn't dare to look up from his glass.

In the meantime, Yoongi is starting to realize what is going on. If he's thinking  what his best friends are also thinking, then the oldest might actually have a crush on Namjoon, and everyone is actually trying to set them up.

"It all makes sense - Jungkook opening the door and saying "hi hyungs", then being disappointed it was just me. And Hoseok making me sit on his lap was probably  just so Namjoon and Seokjin hyung could sit next to each other... "  Yoongi sighs. "He made me sit on his lap for that reason only. Not any other reason, like actually wanting to sit close to me..."  he shakes his head as he shamefully feels his cheeks burn at the thought about Hobi, then looks up to realize his cheeks were not the only one this certain shade of pink.

"Hey Jin hyung?" Yoongi asks, standing up slowly, still in pain.

"Yeah?"

Yoongi decides to take a leap of faith and musters his courage to ask, "If you and Joon weren't dating, then why are your cheeks always so pink around him?"


Taehyung, Jungkook, Jimin and Hoseok turn to him with small, inaudible gasps. "OH MY GOSH IS HE PART OF OUR SCHEME NOW TOO?"

Namjoon just laughs, believing it was just a joke, but stops once he realizes his Jinnie was trying to come up with an actual response.

Jin, desperately trying to pretend that the question didn't shake him to the core, replies in a shaky voice, "I-I... um... I think I'm just not feeling well..." and quietly finishes his water.

Suddenly, Namjoon puts his hand on his Seokjin hyung's flushed forehead.

"J-Joonie... What are you doing?"

"Checking for a temperature hyung. Wow, you really are hot." ‎‎‎( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

The rest, excluding Namjin of course, simply smile at Jin's not-so-internal panic, and quietly nod to each other. This is going to be an entertaining evening.
