Yoongi looked weirdly at Jimin who was tightly squeezing his mouth shut. "Is something wrong with you?" Jimin quickly shook his head, he was constantly moving around.

"What are you doing?" Yoongi questioned, in return Jimin pretended to zip his own lips. "Is there something you aren't allowed to say?" Jimin nodded, rocking back and forth in his chair. "Well... uhm... Is there anything I can do to help?" Jimin shook his head violently. Namjoon walked up to the both of them, kissing the top of Jimin's head. "Hi babe." Jimin looked up at him with wide eyes. "Jesus, you need an oxygen mask or something?"

"JUNGKOOK'S MOM MANIPULATED SEOKJIN TO BREAK UP WITH JUNGKOOK!" Jimin burst, he yelped and quickly covered his mouth. Unfortunately it was too late, almost all the heads in their class turned towards the trio. "That's uhm... awful?" Namjoon scratched his head, not getting why Jimin was acting so dramatic over this. "Oh well uhm... Not very nice of his mom..." Yoongi also didn't really know how to reply to that dropped bomb.

Jimin dramatically grabbed both of Namjoon's hands, staring up at him. "Namjoon, baby, it was great getting to know, love and fuck you but I will die soon."

"What do you mean?

-

"PARK JIMIN!"

"How has it already made it's way towards him?" Jimin hissed, looking around frantically. "Rumors spread quickly." Namjoon shrugged, Jimin clutched onto Namjoon's arm. "You need to protect me."

"Please, we need at least two other people in order to stop a pissed off Seokjin." Jimin looked around before an idea popped up in his head. "I'll just hide in the bath- AAAAHHHHHH I'M GOING TO DIE."

Seokjin had found him, Seokjin had floored him.... "YOU PROMISED NOT TO TELL!"

"DO YOU KNOW ME? I OVERSHARE WITH ANYTHING."

"You're going down." Seokjin's voice became scarily deep, scaring the living shit outta Jimin. "JOONIE PLEASE HELP ME!"

Jungkook twirled the ice cubes in his drink around before looking up at Myung with a smile. Their date had gone wonderfully, both boys getting to share their interests and the other actually listening. They had set on just one more drink before splitting ways, a comfortable silence washed upon them. "So... Heard any rumors about me again?" Jungkook joked, but Myung didn't find it that funny.

"Oh uhm..."

"Wait- There is actually another rumor going on?" Myung sadly looked down and nodded. "But- I don't want to tell you." Jungkook raised his brow. "If it's about me then why can't I know?"

"...I'm afraid that you'll just stand up and leave me here." Jungkook's shoulders slumped, feeling bad for the younger boy. "Okay.... Yeah no okay, just..." Jungkook couldn't quite find the appropriate words so he just gulped his drink down.

-

A guilt flushed over Myung, he quickly grabbed Jungkook's hand to catch his attention. "Do you see this becoming something?" Jungkook turned to look down at Myung, the boy being a lot smaller than him. "...Well, I asked you out so-"

"If I were to tell you something regarding Seokjin... Would you go back to him?" The breath seemed to get suckerpunched out of Jungkook's lungs by just the mention of his ex. "....You're not over him are you? Am I a rebound?"

"Myung I'm- ....It depends."

"What?"

"It depends on what you'll tell me what I do. I like you, I do... But..." Myung fumbled with the rings on his finger. "...But you love him. I understand... Will you at least stay my friend?" Jungkook looked at Myung with doe eyes before pulling him in for a hug. "I'm so sorry.... Wow... I'm an awful human being." Myung shook his head. "Friends then?"

"Friends." Myung pulled away from the hug, a serious look on his face. "As your friend, I have to tell you something." All of Jungkook's attention was on Myung. "It's regarding your break up with Seokjin..."

"What is it Myung?" Myung but his lip and scratched the back of his head. "Considering this rumor started by one of your friends... Ji.. Jimin? I believe... I think it's true... Apparently.. hmm.. Apparently your mom manipulated him to break up with you."

Jungkook's mouth fell open, he had no clue what to say. His own mother? Why would she do that?

"Thank you for telling me Myung."
