Trust

13th October, 2021

Here you sat, in the middle of the circle formed by the seven of you. It was a rare thing, but apparently Jin and Namjoon had declined to play the truth and dare game and Hoseok and Yoongi were the ones to stay for it. Everyone was shocked at Yoongi's agreement to play, but then he'd just shrugged when he was asked, saying it was 'Jimin-ah's birthday so why not'.

Indeed Jimin had been happy the whole day. He was even happier when you came to their apartments even though he knew you were busy today. "So we start" Taru clapped before turning the bottle and it stopped on Jungkook. "Truth or Dare?" Jimin asked and he shrugged. "Any would work" He said and Taru mischievously smiled. "Jungkook, I dare you to email me Yoongi oppa's last made draft of songs" she smirked and Jungkook looked at her with a mean face.

Yoongi glared at her and she just blew him a kiss, making him sit up straight. "Okay Jungkook. Let's see if you can do it" he narrowed his eyes at him and the man sitting next to you rolled his eyes. "Ugh" he groaned, giving the bottle a twirl as a sign that he accepted. Your eyebrows went up as you smiled and Taru clapped in delight once again. Next, the bottle stopped on Hoseok. "Okay, Hoseok-ah. Give me twenty" Yoongi said as if instructing and Hoseok immediately stood up, going near the pillar in the room before suddenly hip - thrusting out of nowhere. Your jaw dropped and soon enough a hand closed your eyes. You frowned before you heard Taehyung's voice.

"Don't look, Y/N" he said and you removed his hand quickly. "Stop" you scolded before widening your eyes even more. Taehyung quickly covered Taru's eyes too. "Baby, you're underage" he said and Taru tched. "Shut up" she spat and Taehyung rolled his eyes at the two of you gawking at the personal show you were getting for free. "THAT'S ENOUGH, HYUNG" Jimin squeaked after a while with big eyes. You all laughed at his reaction to the sudden craziness.

Hobi came back to his seat and a red faced Jimin quickly spun the bottle. It stopped on you and you smiled. You were actually excited about telling everyone about yourself. "Truth or dare?" Jimin asked and you shrugged. "Truth" You said and he leaned back. "Who's your bias?" Taehyung said too quickly from next to you and this was your turn to flush red.

"Ummm" you nervously mumbled before looking up. "Yoongi oppa!" You spat and Yoongi stared at your face, unaffected. "It's you" you said with a round mouth making him simply wink at you with a smile. You chuckled and were about to spin the bottle before a voice stopped you. "Why would you lie" you found Jungkook furrowing his eyebrows at you. You looked up with glaring eyes, hearing a slap from your other side and when you turned your head, you found Taru facepalming. You immediately knew about what was going on, and your eyes narrowed, focusing on Taru entirely who just peeked at you from between her fingers.

🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌

Here you were, your adequately spaced apartment's living room made dim with small lights illuminating the area around the couch, where soft pillows and extra bean bags had been brought to create a mood. Somehow the maknae line, along with your best friend, had ended up at your house after the truth and dare session. It wasn't a surprise because the game had ended soon enough even though it felt like hours, and the clock had just struck 7.

Jimin apparently wanted to have more fun on his birthday, and had decided to come to your house as he'd promised earlier. But as soon as he announced he wanted to go home with you, there were a few buts and here you ended up, sandwiched between Jimin and Taehyung while Taru sat next to her boyfriend and Jungkook sat next to her.

"Harry Potter" Taru suggested when you asked her which movie she wanted to watch. "Jimin-ssi?" You said and he shrugged. "It's fine with anything" he said in a soft voice and you mumbled an okay, opening Netflix on the TV and starting the movie. The AC temperature at your house was too high, for you were always a warm person. Everyone cuddled up with themselves quickly before getting into the sheets. All your eyes were fixated at the screen, and the attention solely on the beautiful theme song of the film everyone adores.

🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌

After about an hour, your eyes left the screen when you heard a cough from next to you. You turned your head quickly to notice first that the guy on the far side from you was uncomfortably sniffling on the bean bag. His eyes were closed, making you realize he was sleeping. That's when you looked around, noticing all the other four were now fast asleep, some snores coming from Taehyung as he held onto Taru and Jimin's head hung on your shoulder.

You saw your friend moving, probably asleep because of the other's warmth while the idols in the room slept soundly. You slowly got up, supporting Jimn's neck with a pillow before lowering the volume of the television. You left it open just so nobody woke up in the comfortable atmosphere. According to you, sometimes these small noises helped people sleep. You moved towards the boy on the bean bag, his legs crouched uncomfortably. They've all worked hard. You thought, grabbing your own blanket and covering him with it. His eyes moved when you did so and you quickly retreated your hand, soon leaving the area and going into the room.

🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌

You heard a knock on the door, making you turn your head immediately. Pushing your glasses to your nose, you said a small 'Come in'. As you expected, a head peeked in before you smiled. He slowly hopped over to you, taking a chair nearby and dragging it next to the table you sat on. "What are you even doing?" He asked and you shrugged. "Work" you bluntly replied, turning the pages and he sighed. "I thought we were relaxing?" He asked and you grinned softly. "Jungkook-ssi, I need to submit this tomorrow" you told him and he cutely pushed his lower lip forward.

You looked back at your paper when he slowly dragged it towards himself. "Oh no you won't be able to-" "I can do maths" he looked at you with a dead face and you sighed. He looked at the calculations you were making and kept staring at them for a minute. You took the paper back, putting it at it's former position. "That's a programming database, not math" you stated before grabbing the pencil again. He sniffled, making you turn your head towards him again. "It's okay. Many people can't do this. I can because this is my work" you smiled and he just nodded.

"You fell asleep..." You continued before cracking your fingers. "Why did you wake up so soon? You're a heavy sleeper" you said and he just shrugged. "I told you my condition. I can't get close my eyes, Y/N. It's so hard to..." He paused, taking a breath and hiding his eyes from yours. "...To sleep" and when he said that, your eyes glistened a bit. You wanted to hug him and tell him that everything's gonna be fine. But these stupid boundaries of etiquettes and space didn't let you.

"Jungkook-ssi..." You said, keeping the pencil back and leaning on your chair, you focus solely on him. He kept looking at his feet, hands playing with each other. "We need to do something about this..." you said, looking at him. "You aren't gonna touch drugs. No more drinks. No more bars until you're with someone." you strictly said as if putting rules on him. He looked at you with an innocent face, gulping while thinking how he'd nothing to say. "By someone, I mean those who can look out for you. Not some random girl you meet in a club" You said in your deep voice, your expression not changing.

"We need to do this. Are you understanding?" You asked, your eyes showing concern while your face was still masked. "Yes" he firmly said, voice breathy but definite. "I'm trying to help you here. I don't wanna act like a ban or a threat but... We both know that it's just us who knows this situation well, yeah?" You asked and he nodded, as if listening to a lesson given by his mom. He finally looked up at your face when you held his wrist. You smiled softly, making him look away and void of giving any reactions.

"You're wearing the specs" he said as a matter of fact and you chuckled. "So? Do I look like a bully?" You asked and he chuckled as well. "A cute one" he muttered and you raised your eyebrows. "If you really wanna make this friendship work, you really need to stop flirting" you frowned and he laughed. "I'm serious!" You removed the strands of hair from your face and he shook his head.

"Is this your room?" He asked and you looked around. "Naah... This is just my study..." You said, knowing how he swiftly changed the topic and he shrugged. "It's cool" he said and you nodded too. "I really wanna know more about you. This is always unfair." He whined and you giggled with a frown. "I also wanna cool stuff about you... Like if you're a deep sleeper or not just like you know about me" he sulked and you chuckled.

"I am a deep sleeper. And I like hugs" you said and he giggled this time, the information making him attentive. "I have a sweet tooth!" You said and he raised his eyebrows. "Me too!" He said and you grinned. "I know..." He asked you another question which took you a bit aback. "You seem lonely. Don't you have like a boyfriend or something?" He asked and you snickered. "If I did, I wont be sitting here alone in a room with you right now" You said as a matter of fact and he pouted. "Why?"

"It's hard for me... To settle in with people. I take time to build a trust. I'm not like those people who can go ahead and get into something just like that. I take too much time to trust and open myself. So it's always too late and the other usually gets bored." you said and he looked at you with an indecipherable expression. "What's your ideal type. Let's find someone for you" he said and you chuckled once again. "hmm..." You tapped your chin as if in great thoughts and he smiled. "Someone like me?" He asked and you rolled your eyes. "Well, I am your bias!" He proudly said and you narrowed your eyes. "That's because I like your voice" you bluntly said and he pouted for the third time.

You ignored it though, focusing on the question which was amusing you. "If someone is funny. Definitely. To be honest my dark side has a lot to cry for, so I love it when someone can make me laugh" You told him and he intently listened. "Someone... Tall?" You said and he immediately giggled. "Yeah definitely. You're tall" he stated and you nodded. "Hmm... Someone who's... ready to give me all of him. Someone who's ready to let me strip open their masks under which we all hide. We all have our own masks, which we never take off. If he's that one person who lets me do it for him, I'm ready to give him myself" you completed and he raised an eyebrow. "Deep, Y/N." He said and you nodded. "Yup" you popped your lips. "And yeah, No physical boundaries. I hate that shy shit." you shook your head with small eyes and Jungkook's mouth opened in disbelief while smiling for you said something like that so easily.

"That's all interesting" he nodded when his smile went away and you shrugged. "What about you?" You asked him genuinely and he sighed dramatically. "First let me breathe as an idol and then I'll think of dating" he voiced and you laughed. "Heyy! We're not that bad!" You hit him playfully and softly on the hand and he grinned at your ARMY instincts. "I actually wanted to say this... please don't mind my way of talking. I mean I try my best to humble but I may end up saying things I shouldn't... I'm just not that used to the culture" you said truthfully and he frowned.

"You're doing super great. And you dont need to think too much you can say whatever you want in front of me I'm not the one who judges" he quickly said and you smiled. "Thanks" You said and the door opened making Jungkook pulled himself back to his seat. That was when the two of you realised how close you'd been sitting but it had been comfortably fine. Taru looked at the both of you and eyed you weirdly. "What" You spat and she shrugged. "Taehyung was calling Jungkook. They're leaving." she said and you quickly got up. "Yeah sure" You said and smiled at Jungkook who nodded.

"Try it. Try finding other things to distract you. Try finding happiness, the actual cure to this" You whispered to him right when he was about to leave the apartment. You smiled and he smiled back, looking at your face for a brief moment before getting out. You quickly hugged Jimin and wished him a happy birthday again, closing the door and sighing in satisfaction with a smile on your face. You turned around and Taru stood in front of you, and you just grabbed her waist before pulling her towards your bedroom to cuddle and sleep without messing up the conversation and the moments you'd just went through. You were happy, was an understatement.
