after an hour and a hundred questions, jungkook offered to put a movie on for us in the living room.

he chose a romance movie, which surprised me.

"did you choose this because i'm a girl and we like this stuff?" i laugh.

he scoffs, "that's kinda of offensive soohyun, i picked it because it's one of jimin's favorites actually. i haven't seen it and he bugs me about."

i nod along, "sounds like we both may need to watch it then."

he chuckles, "that was the point"

the room falls into comfortable silence as the movie plays out. the lights in the house all off.

halfway through the movie the door opens and jimin turns the lights on, which is followed by a string of complaints from jungkook and i.

"yah! turn them off you clown!" jungkook yells out.

"why would you turn the lights on!" i pout.

jimin stands straight after bending over to put his briefcase down, "what are you two doing?"

jungkook points at the paused movie, "what does it look like idiot?"

jimin's face turns sour, "that's no way to talk to your hyung."

"you turned the lights on on a good part! and you still haven't turned them off!"

"yeah well-" jimin starts again and the two boys continue to argue for what feels like forever.

i yell, getting both of their attention, "quit bickering like children!" i get off the couch and walk over the nearest light switch, shutting the lights off, "we're gonna finish the movie, and if you'd like to join us you can."

jimin grumbles and pushes past me to go up the stairs, "i'll be down soon."

i watch him stomp up the stairs before walking towards jungkook on the couch.

"why is he so grumpy." i mumble, plopping myself back down on the other end of the couch.

jungkook laughs, "maybe it's a work thing. or maybe it's a me thing. who knows." he lays a hand on the back of the couch, grabbing for the remote with the other one, "i bet we'll know soon though." he says in a low voice, immediately unpausing the movie.

i didn't say anything after. something telling me the way he said that hinted at something more, but i only just met the boys, it's not my place to pry.

i absentmindedly reach out for the popcorn in the middle of the couch, my eyes not leaving the screen. a sudden warmth makes me jump a little, glancing over at my hand i realize i had a hold of jungkook's fingers, in the popcorn bowl, and not the popcorn.

i make eye contact with him before letting out a chuckle, grateful that the lights are off so he can't notice the way my face heats up. why does it do that with him? "m-my bad." i whisper, pulling my hand away.

jungkook only grins and gives me a nod.

moments pass, still with no sign of jimin. "i'm gonna go make more popcorn." jungkook says, lifting himself off the couch.

he comes back, bowl over half full and in his lap. i don't think much of this. that is until 3 more minutes pass and i want popcorn.

"jungkook," i say aloud, but get no response. "jungkook." i try a second time and louder, but still nothing. i hop a seat closer, "jeon jungkook." he finally hums, but doesn't even look my way. "i want some popcorn too you idiot."

he glances my way, noticing how close i've gotten, i see a smirk shining on his face with the light of the tv screen, "you're so close to me now, just grab some." he simply says, throwing more popcorn into his mouth.

"put it back in the middle meanie." i pout.

"why should i?" he finally looks me in the eyes, challenging me.

i like games too, jungkook. "because i asked politely."

he bites his lip and looks around as if he's thinking hard, "i think not, soohyun."

i cross my arms, causing my small body to bounce a little on the couch, "why not? i'm being nice. put the freaking popcorn back jungkook!"

he smiles, still eating the popcorn, "you're almost cute enough to convince me to do that."

my cheeks heat again but i ignore it, "why are you being so bothersome? give them here jungkook!-" i grab for the popcorn bowl but he moves it out of my reach. i dont notice this until i feel my hand hit clothes and not the bowl. i felt a little more than clothes too.

if my face was pink before, it's the brightest shade of red now, "i-i'm sorry! i didn't mean to-"

"wow soohyun didn't take you for the type-"

i close my eyes and yell, "i didn't mean to and you know that!" with a huff of anger i open my eyes and grab again for the popcorn bowl he's put on the armrest of the couch on the other side of him.

he grabs onto the other end and yanks it out of my hands.

i scoff and sit back with a pout on my lips and sad eyes. "jungkook~~ please just give it to me!"

he laughs, "but this is fun soohyun~"

"no it's not."

"yes it is."

"no-"

"reach for it and it's yours." he says lifting the bowl above his head.

i get on my knees on the couch and he pulls it away from me.

i see your game, jeon.

i crawl into his lap, this surprising him and causing him to unknowingly bend his elbow, just enough for me to reach the bowl.

i grab and hug it with all of my strength, "i got it! it's mine!"

we both erupt in laughter, heads thrown back.

"what the fuck is this?" jimin calls out in the darkness.

our laughter comes to an immediate stop as we both make eye contact with a fuming jimin.

"i-i was just getting the popcorn bowl-"

"and you need to be on top of him to do that?" jimin walks closer to us, the dumbfounded expression still on his face.

"hey look, dont be upset with her i was the one putting it over my head and just teasing her-"

"that's supposed to make me feel better?!" jimin raises his voice again, but he's close now and it startles me, causing me to lower my head at his voice.

i lift my head after a moment of silence to see both eyes on me. jungkook is the first to speak, lifting his arm to run his hand along my leg, comfortingly.

"you okay?"

i look at them both, "y-yeah, i'm fine."

"did you think i was gonna, hit you or something?" jimin says wearily.

i give him a worried expression, "n-no! you just scared me. i'm okay." i slide off jungkook's lap, wishing i could be enveloped by the couch right now to avoid this situation.
"why don't we finish the movie?"

the boys nod their heads and move around the room, shutting the lights off and grabbing more blankets. i completely zone out until i feel a hand on my thigh. my head perks up to see jimin staring back at me, a hurt expression resting on his face.

"are you upset with me?" he whispers.

i shake my head quickly, grabbing his hand and holding it to mine, "not at all, you didn't know— or mean to. it's not your fault."

he nods his head slowly, "i'm sorry for raising my voice baby, i'll be careful not to do that again."

i give him a grin, sliding down into the couch and leaning onto him.

we stay like that throughout the movie, and the next. soon enough my eyelids grow heavy and enclose my brown eyes in a peaceful sleep.
