"Guys did you know Jimin still doesn't have a label?" Yoongi said while playing. The score was close so his brother was very focused on what he was doing, eyebrows knit and mouth slightly open.

"Namjoon don't fry your brain playing, we need it for class work" Jin said from the bed, now texting away for a change.

"No chance Jin, perks of working with more than two braincells, but you wouldn't know about it" he replied, getting back at him for calling him ugly earlier. "Not bad" Yoongi said and the elder clicked his tongue when he eventually lost the game.

"Really though? Didn't that rarely happen at school?" Namjoon asked and Yoongi nodded. Jimin looked away from his phone and turned to Namjoon who got up and sat on the floor by the bed, facing him.

"Yeah, it's pretty rare, so it's interesting for once" Tae came back from ordering on the phone and reclaimed his seat next to his new friend. Jungkook had also walked in the room just in time to catch Jin's phone slipping and hitting his face as he laid. "dumbass" he snickered and sat by Jimin's other side.

"What makes you so hard to read?" Jungkook asked with a rough deep voice and Jimin caught the whiff of cigarettes from his T-shirt "I don't know, am I hard to read? Or are people just not good at it" He replied and Yoongi shook his head "Nah trust me you're hard to read" he said.  

Jungkook raised an eyebrow at the almost-stranger on the couch.

"You don't really look like an athlete... Or a stoner... I'm not getting nerd vibes either cause I can sniff them out. You seem pretty basic to me, you might just be a regular" Namjoon concluded and Jimin was a little offended to say the truth. He knows he's not the most interesting or fun person out there, but there was no need to put it out like that.

"What if I'm just not exactly any of those" he said, crossing his arms against his chest "Matter of fact there are a lot of categories missing in that school. Where are the troublemakers, the mean girls, the rich kids" he pointed out and Jungkook sighed.

"Are you any of those?"

"No"

"Then why the fuck do you care if they're missing" Jungkook chuckled, pulling an arm up behind his head as he leaned further down on the couch, his legs parting away a little more and pushing against Jimin's. "I don't know it just would make sense if they existed, otherwise it kind of calls the category system into question" he explained and Yoongi hit him with a pillow.

"Shut up Jimin I'm starting to think you're a nerd" he said and and the others laughed.

"It's not that they don't exist by the way, those categories are just not ones you can vote on from the get-go. Like, I can't just guess you're going to be a troublemaker from the first few days, you feel? People generally start showing those things later into the year. Except that dumbfuck who got detention twice in his first week of high school" Jungkook said, pointing at Taehyung who was giving him finger guns. Jimin was about to mention the 'rich kids' case but Hobi beat him to it.

"Also, Jungkook thinks money and status have no business making high school students apart. It just doesn't make sense to judge based on how much one's parents make" he said and Jimin hummed in understanding.

"How do you know so much though, did you go to Blue?" Jimin asked, giving Jungkook his undivided attention by turning on his side to face him. The older man simply nodded and Jin butted in.

"He made up the entire thing with the other dumbass back when they were seniors" he informed pointing at Namjoon, who fist-bumped with Yoongi for saying 'That's my bro'

"Although there might have only been the stoners category back then" Jungkook joked making them laugh and Jimin smiled. 

"But what's fun in having students label each other?" he didn't want to sound annoying but he generally didn't like the idea at all.
