"God rich boy, why would you want to leave?" Jimin stared around Jeongguk's room in amazement.
"Despite having many things, I have nothing. Does that make sense?" He said thoughtfully as he watched Miyeon rushed into his closet excitedly.
"Nah." Jimin looked at him like he was stupid. "I have no friends my age and I was forced into a life which I never wanted. My parents aren't exactly the nicest people." Jeongguk then chuckled as Miyeon rushed out with a black satin shirt. "Can I try it?!" She giggled happily. It was the first time Jeongguk had seen both of them this excited.
She looked beautiful when she smiled.
Jeongguk had been visiting them every chance Tyler gave him for the last four months, Jimin waiting by the hole in his backyard wall and Miyeon back at the apartment, smiling happily when he came through the door.
"Go ahead. Don't you want to shower first?" He asked her. She looked at him with so much awe that it pained him. "I can shower?!" Her jaw dropped. "Come with me." Jeongguk was about to follow her into the bathroom when he was pulled back.
"I like you kid I really do, but that bathroom is off limits when she is in there." Jimin looked up at him with dark eyes. He gulped in fear.
"Is there hot water?" She came out of the bathroom and dragged Jeongguk inside with her. Jimin spluttered in disbelief.
"Yeonie he can't be in there with you!" He signed in incredulity. "I just need help switching it on!" She stood with the shirt in her arms, waiting patiently for Jeongguk to switch it on.
He pointed at each knob. "Hot water. Turn it to the right to increase heat and turn it left to reduce. Body lotion and shampoo are there too. If you want facial sheets I have them. The only perfume I have is over there. I guess if you want to... um..." Jeongguk was visibly trembling when he saw Jimin's raised eyebrow in the reflection of the glass sliding door.
"If she wants to what?" Jimin gazed at him darkly. "If she wants... if she wants to... shave. There is stuff in there." He looked down at his feet.
"Thank you!" She hugged him quickly and he blushed furiously.
"Alright! Then I'll leave you two to do your thing!" He quickly walked out and sat on his bed, still blushing.
"Yeonie, do you need anything else?" Jeongguk heard Jimin ask her.
"Jimin do you have pads?" Jeongguk couldn't contain his embarrassment hearing this.
"Yeah in my bag. I knew your cycle would start soon." Jeongguk heard footsteps and grabbed a random book quickly. Jimin came out and grabbed their worn out bag, but not before staring at Jeongguk weirdly.
"Oh it must be good. Do you like reading upside down then?" Jimin smirked. Jeongguk groaned and threw the book on the sofa in the corner.
"Listen, I know hearing this shit is weird but we are all adults here. Can you get Yeonie some hot towels. I left some on the radiator at home but I'm not there at the moment." Jeongguk stood up hurriedly.
"Of course!" He pressed a button on the wall. In two minutes, there was a knock on the door. Jimin, who was sitting with Jeongguk after handing the bag to his sister was excitedly playing games on the large gaming system, flinched and stared at Jeongguk.
"Ty?" Jeongguk called out. "Yes master Jeongguk." Jeongguk scrambled for the door and pulled the now alarmed butler inside his room and locked the door behind them.
"What in the world?!" The man looked at Jeongguk in alarm. "I have friends over." Jeongguk scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
"I'm sorry... what?" He looked around the room and saw a scruffy looking Jimin, looking like a fearful deer caught in headlights.
"This is Tyler, my best friend." Jimin stood up in a rush, wiping his hands on his shirt and looking tiny with nerves.
"Oh my boy!" Tyler embraced Jimin tightly. The boy squeaked as he tried to return the hug.
"Ty don't kill him." Jeongguk smiled.
"I'm just happy you made friends Jeongguk. You never bring anyone here." Ty smiled at him, his lined face shining with happiness.
"I'm Jimin." The older boy smiled shyly. "It's nice to meet you Jimin. Are you hungry?" Tyler asked kindly.
"Actually I was hoping some hot towels could be brought up, for um... period cramps." Jeongguk blushed. Tyler stared at him in bewilderment.
"Jeongguk... I don't know how to say this." Jimin was trying his best to hold in his laughter as Jeongguk stared down at Tyler in confusion.
"You know you're a man right? Your anatomy prevents these menstrual pains." Jeongguk whined as he suddenly realised what Tyler was saying.
"Not for me! Jimin's sister is on her period. She is in the bathroom." Jeongguk said quietly. Jeongguk was blushing hard and Tyler knew immediately what that boy was thinking.
Oh. Got a little soft spot huh?
Tyler looked at him blankly then suddenly slapped his arm. "You imbecile! The girl is probably going through so much pain! She needs chocolate and tea and comfy clothes. Move lads move! You, Jimin. Come with me, you need a bath. Jeongguk can you get some fresh pants for her and then help her when she gets out." Jeongguk then protested helplessly.
"I'm not leaving her with him!" Jimin said in protest. "My boy you really do need a bath. Jeongguk will be fine. He is a lovely young gentleman. I raised him myself. Come, you shall need a whole new bottle of shampoo..." He led Jimin out of Jeongguk's room.

A few minutes later, Miyeon came out of the bathroom, wrapped up in an enormous fluffy towel. Jeongguk looked up from his phone at her footsteps and finally saw her clean face.
He weakened at the sight of her. Her round cheeks were shiny and flushed and she had soft baby hairs framing her face. Her nose was defined and her eyes were wide, her thick lips pouting adorably.
"Um... I'll leave!" Jeongguk stood up in a rush and turned around hurriedly.
"You don't have to, it's alright. I need some help." Jeongguk looked at the towels and realised. "Um of course!" He led her to his closet and took the small hamper of things Tyler brought back.
"I've got a sports bra and some underwear for you and some pads." He handed it to her and she smiled.
"Thank you Jeongukkie." She smiled then closed the door. He waited patiently then she came out, clad in the things he bought her and a pair of his own sweatpants.
"I hope you don't mind me borrowing these but my pants have bled through." She blushed. "It's alright. They look nice on you." He said shyly.
"Thank you." She smiled, and he was struck by the beautiful shapes of her eyes.
"I could um... braid your hair for you? It won't get tangled as much." She giggled and nodded. Her personality was a complete contrast with the person she was outside. Out there she was harder, cruel and strict.
But here she was a complete softie and he adored that.
