Behind the Mask

~Chapter 21~

~Rosie's POV~

At only 9 am on a Saturday morning, I was rudely interrupted from my pretty questionable dreams by the loud shouting and yelling that was going on downstairs, and I could just smell it...

Drama.

Which could only mean I needed a what-is-going-on-and-why- didn't-I-know-about-it explanation from the girls, immediately.

Still, before jumping off my bed and heading downstairs to find out what was going on, I glanced quickly at my new roommate, who was still sleeping undisturbed on the mattress next to me. He seemed somehow used to all the noise and chaos that had taken over the house this morning, as if it were part of his routine by now.

I suppose BTS could do that to you, huh..

I shook my head a little in mild amusement at the sudden thought before snapping out of it and finally getting out of my room, only to meet Jisoo in the hallway, enjoying the show downstairs with a small grin tugging at the corner of her lips.

If anyone loved drama more than me in this household, it had to be her.

"What is going on here?!" I whispered, staring down at the now surprisingly quiet living room, only to see a fuming Jimin nearly busting into the kitchen, a confused Taekook by the door, staring blankly at the place their friend had been standing in mere seconds ago, and a dumbfounded Lisa, with a trace of regret coating her features.

I had definitely missed out on a lot...

"Okay, spill the tea now" I ordered to Jisoo, who chuckled with pure excitement as she began to narrate this morning's events to me, finally bringing some sense into this mess.

"So, you're telling me that Jimin is mad at Lisa for calling him a baby and claiming that living with him is torture... that must've hurt a little... Jungkook and Taehyung divorced over night... and you discovered Yoongi is like a male version of you when it comes to sleeping and lazying around. Did I miss anything?" I said, briefly concluding everything she told me in the past few minutes.

"Nope, that's about it actually.. I'm only now beginning to understand the struggle Manager-nim was telling me about the other day.. these boys are going to give me a headache.
But can we have breakfast now, I'm starving!"

I nodded and let her lead the way into the kitchen as I could already anticipate the sweet taste of cereal blessing my tongue, then sat down on a chair in front of Jimin. He was sitting at the table with a frustrated look on his face and his hands tangled in his hair, while staring blankly into space.

"Hi there, Jimin. Not exactly a good morning for you, is it?"

"Oh, hi, noona.. Indeed. I guess you already know what happened, don't you?"

"Well... Jisoo may have mentioned something to me, yeah. But you know, it's very easy to get on Lisa's nerves, and whenever she's mad at someone, she starts saying things she doesn't mean. Don't take it too personally, she has done this to me and the girls countless times by now, it's just her way of coping with everything. And if you're gonna live here for the next couple of months, you might as well get used to it."

"But then does that mean she doesn't think I act like a baby? And she doesn't hate living with me?" He asked, looking up to meet my eyes.

"She never said she hates living with you, if I remember correctly. Actually, you have no idea how nervous she was before you came here... she even cleaned her room for you, Jimin. That's almost like saying 'I love you' for her. Just give her a little time to adjust to everything, okay? And try to understand her when things like this happen. Truth is she's by far not a morning person, and if you add a good scare to it, you're gonna get yourself a hella angry Lisa to deal with."
