Cold [NAMJIN]

"You look funny." Namjoon lightly elbowed Jin on the side as the elder continued staring at the two boys before them, an unknown emotion on his face.

They are currently hanging around one of the many vending machines inside the school, Namjoon sipping on some juice and Jin on some chocolate milk.

Taehyung and Jeongguk are currently busy bickering about what drink to buy for themselves, bodies huddled closely in front of the machine. Jimin isn't around because of his monthly check-up.

"Is it just me or have those two gotten really close lately?" Seokjin absentmindedly asked, eyes still trained on the two teenagers.

Namjoon paused mid-sip. "What do you mean?"

Jin merely shrugged.

It's been a week since their trip to the amusement park. And that same day, Jin vaguely remembered Jimin telling him that he was going somewhere with Taehyung and Jeongguk too. He had no idea where they went though. All he knows is that Taehyung and Jeongguk had grown noticeably closer since then.

Jin can still clearly remember seeing Jeongguk sprawled on top of Taehyung when he came up to Jimin's room the other day.

It was Saturday and they were supposed to be doing homework together but when Seokjin came to check and bring them some snacks, he saw Taehyung and Jeongguk lounging in Jimin's bed instead, the two instantly breaking apart upon seeing him.

Jin also noticed the looks the two kids have been giving each other lately. He couldn't exactly pinpoint what made those looks different than the past ones but he knows that something changed in them.

Something's weird.

Jin doesn't exactly know what was weird but he definitely knows that something is. Something happened between the two which brought on the change. What it must have been, Seokjin has no idea.

"They've always been close." Namjoon started, turning to the two boys who still haven't decided on what to buy. "If you think they've gotten closer lately, it's probably because of that game. You were there. They couldn't stop talking about it."

Jin thought about Namjoon's answer for a second

True. The two have been crazy about that game Overwatch lately. They even came to school late one morning for staying up all night playing it.

Is that it?

Seokjin took one last sip of his chocolate drink before turning to Namjoon. "I guess you're right."

Namjoon felt himself relax at the elder's words. He trained his eyes on Taehyung and Jeongguk, lips pursed in thought.

Seokjin can be really perceptive sometimes. He's always the first person to notice when someone around him isn't feeling well or have something bothering them. It's one of his endearing characteristics. After all, not everyone notices when those around them are having a hard time.

Unfortunately, Namjoon doesn't need Jin being his adorable observant self right now. Especially with the new development in Taehyung and Jeongguk's relationship.

Apparently, the two kissed. Jeongguk told Namjoon about how he made the first move and how Taehyung eagerly responded to the kiss. The two aren't boyfriends yet but they're getting there.

Namjoon's happy for them. He really is. But he can't help but find them a bit annoying as well. They tend to get a little too lost in their own happy bubble sometimes, getting too lenient with their display of affections and forgetting about their surroundings.

Namjoon finished his juice and turned to Seokjin, catching the elder trying to suck even the last drop of his drink, creating sounds and faces which made Namjoon stifle a smile.
