Jimin walks into Econ the next day with a pep in his step. "Jungkook, I brought you something." He holds out a pride flag pin. "I bought a bulk bag on Etsy."

Jungkook takes it and snaps it in half.

Jimin gasps. "What the hell?!"

"It doesn't match my vibe. I'm more of a solid black kinda guy."

Jimin reach into his backpack and pulls out another pin, holding it out. "There's a black stripe on it. Just put it on your backpack."

"No."

"Come on! It'll get you so many friends."

"I don't want more friends. I like keeping my friend group small and comfortable."

Jimin groans and rolls his eyes. "You're impossible to deal with. I'm trying to make sure no one else is mean to you. If you have friends, no one will pick on you."

"I already have friends."

"If you have more friends, no one will pick on you. I can introduce you to the drama club if you'd li–"

"I'd rather you bury me alive with Mrs. Kalin and her ex-husband than be friends with a bunch of theater kids. We radiate opposite energies."

"Fine, I'll stop trying for today, but I'm not giving up quite yet. Can I come over to work on the project again today? We're almost done."

"Sure, I guess..."

Jimin types the last word into the Google doc and smiles. "Finally. It's finished."

Jungkook nods and picks up his controller. "You can leave now."

Jimin doesn't leave. He just sits on the bed. "What if I don't want to? Maybe you can teach me how to play one of your gun games."

"... Why do think I would willingly put myself through the torture of teaching you how to play Rainbow Six?"

"Because you're nice."

Jungkook stares at him. "Um... Sure. Just... Grab a controller..."

Jimin picks one up and tries to scroll through the Xbox menu but it doesn't work. "This one is broken."

Jungkook sighs. "You need to turn it on first." He presses the Xbox button and it lights up. Jimin let's out a quiet 'ooo'.

Fast forward a few minutes and Jungkook put Jimin in a match with the easiest level of bots. "Use the left joystick to move. Hold it down to run."

Jimin tests it out for a minute and squeaks. "There's a bad guy!"

"Aim with the left trigger and shoot with the right one."

Jimin tries it and misses with the first shot. He tries again and gets it. "Oh my God, my adrenaline is pumping."

"You need to reload your gun. Press the X."

Jimin reaches for the Xbox button but Jungkook stops him. "Not that one." He guides Jimin's hand to the right button and pushes it. "That one."

Jimin nods. "Okay."

"That's all you really need to know for now. Just run to play for as long as you can and I'll tell you other stuff when it comes up–"

Jimin gets shot by one of the bots. He pouts. "I died... Oops..."

Jungkook chuckles. "I know. I watched it happen."

Jimin whines. "This game is too hard. Do you have an easier one?"

"It was your first round. Just try again."
