"Do you think Namjoon will get disappointed? They didn't have the flavor he wanted..." Minji sighs.

Hoseok regards her with a warm smile and tender eyes.

"I think he'll be just fine with what you chose for him," he tells her, reaching over to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "You worry too much."

Minji smiles, how can she not? The moment feels so incredibly tender. She then leans forward, and places a chaste kiss upon Hoseok's cheek. He makes this funny half sigh, half groan kind of noise, and attempts to reach for Minji. But, she evades his arms(laden as they are with bags filled with snacks), and giggles as she does so.

"You think I can't catch you?" Hoseok teases mischievously.

There is a glint in his eyes, the hint of a challenge being issued. But Minji isn't dumb, she knows that there is no way she could outrun Hoseok should he truly come after her. He isn't as fast as Jeonguk, sure. But Hoseok is still much, much faster than she is.

Minji is a lot of things, this is true. But fast has never been one of them. So, she holds her hands up, palms out in a gesture of submission.

"I would never dare think such a thing, " she smiles innocently.

Minji smiles, surveying the scene before her with absolute bliss

Minji smiles, surveying the scene before her with absolute bliss. All around, resting happily, are her lovers. Before them, the first of surely several movies plays, and the coffee table is laden with snacks. It's amazing, just how much these men can eat. It still surprises her to watch Jin put away slice after slice of pizza, but he looks happy and that makes her happy nonetheless.

Seated firmly in Jeonguk's lap, Minji wiggles just a little; she's simply trying to get comfortable. Jeonguk groans beneath her, and she immediately stills. Though, Taehyung's fingers still linger upon her thighs, dangerously close to the junction between. He leans into her from her right, and gently whispers in her ear.

"Am I making you uncomfortable?"

Minji blushes profusely; she doesn't understand why she still does that. But she shakes her head and forces past her lips a shaky, "n-no, you're fine..."

To her left, Jimin snickers.

"Hush!" Seokjin whispers yells, whacking Jimin's knee with enough force to cause the younger man to curse vehemently.

"Shit! Did you have to hit me that hard?"

Seokjin turns around to face Jimin from his spot on the floor between Minji's legs.

"Have you no shame? First, you make an elder sit on the ground, and then you can't be quiet during the movie? The best part is coming up!"

Seokjin shoves another hefty bite of pizza into his mouth, and glares at Jimin before turning back around.

The situation is almost enough to make Minji laugh, and though she tries to contain her mirth, she isn't quite as successful as she'd like. She dissolves into giggles as her favorite scene comes onto the screen: the one where the detective finally solves the case, and confronts the enemy he'd been searching for all along. He'd thought it was his mentor, so the scene is heart-wrenching and woefully tragic.
