"Class is dismissed." Professor Jun announces as our only class for the day is done.

Instantly, Hana and I get out of our seats. I start compiling all my items into my backpack.

Hana looks at me and smiles, "I really want to eat burgers for lunch today." she lets out.

I turn to her, "Are you suggesting that we eat at Gina's on my day off?" I ask as we start walking out of the classroom.

Hana smiles, nodding before linking our arms together. Just as we continue our walk, a pair of arms are placed around our shoulders. Taehyung pokes my side, making me chuckle.

Jimin's voice is heard, "Did anyone say burgers?" he asks.

Hana giggles, "You want to join us, Chim?" she asks.

Jimin winks at her and nods, "Yeah."

"What about you, Tae?" I ask him.

"Taking an extra class in a few minutes so I can't go, sorry." Taehyung who has been by my side, explains.

I pout, "Don't worry. I'll order a bacon burger to-go for you." I tell him.

He hugs me, "You're the best, Dae." he smiles.

"Dae, where's Jungkook?" Hana asks me.

I shrug, "I have no idea."

He's been absent since yesterday. No sign of him today as well.

He never misses class unless something happens.

Jimin furrows his eyebrows, "That's weird."

The three of us stand by the entrance of the campus, with Taehyung.

Jimin hugs Taehyung, so does Hana. I wait for them to finish their hug before I do the same.

"I'll bring you the bacon burger as soon as I can. Okay?" I tell him as I pat his back before leaving our hug.

Taehyung nods before holding the straps of his backpack.

"See you later guys." he says as he starts his way back to campus.

"Love you!" The three of us say in chorus, as we always do.

Taehyung smiles, "Love you too!" he disappears through the doors of the campus.

Jimin turns to us and smiles, "We're taking my car today!" he cheers.

"Wait, you have a car?" I ask in awe.

Out of our group, Jimin was the only one left to get a drivers license. Apparently, he's got one now.

"Yeah. Just got my license last week!" He takes out his wallet, showing his license.

Hana chuckles as she sees his picture, "The fact that you're the only person who can still look good in a driver's license picture amazes me."

We all laugh before getting into Jimin's brand new car.

Hana eats her burger silently as Jimin drinks his soda happily. I stare at both of them, taking a sip of my milkshake without a care in the world. It's weird being at work on my day off.

Just as I continue drinking my milkshake, we are interrupted.

"Enjoying your day off?" Yoongi asks me as he walks to us with his uniform on.

I smile, "For sure." I tell him.

Jimin and Hana stare at Yoongi and I with smiles on their faces.

"Hyung, I thought you were at the campus today." Jimin says to him.

Yoongi shakes his head, "I had to do some last minute changes because of the new schedule."

We all nod.

"Are you on your break?" I ask him.

"Yeah." He confirms.

I scoot over, leaving a space for him, "Come join us." I pat the space besides mine.

He sits with a smile on his face, "Thanks."

As we continue eating and Yoongi gets something to eat during his break, three men come through the entrance doors. Just my luck.

Jungkook, his father and Jean enter with such poise. They start talking with Seokjin. Only, Jungkook looks around; clearly uninterested on the subject but trying to still be respectful. I take a glance at him and see that he's dressed casually. Jean and his father are the only ones that are dressed with their suits. His long hair is tussled and his cheeks are rosy.

"–Dae!" Hana calls me and I snap out of whatever just happened.

I turn to her, "What?" I ask her.

Yoongi, Jimin and Hana all smile slightly at me. Right, they don't know about the Bree situation. Only Taehyung knows.

"You spaced out." Hana responds.

I shake my head, "Sorry." I start taking a sip of my milkshake.

Jimin smiles before looking back, noticing Jungkook.

"Kookie!" He calls him over.

Jungkook turns and sees is, smiling before excusing himself and walking towards our seat.

He catches a glimpse of Yoongi and I, slightly furrowing his eyebrows.

"Hi, hyungs," he smiles at both Jimin and Yoongi, "Hana," he continues, "Dae." his eyes soften as he calls me.

I nod at him, looking back at my milkshake.

My heart starts beating faster every second.

Hana clears her throat, "What are you doing here?" she asks nicely.

"Checking some things around with my dad." He answers.

Both Jean and Jungkook's father end their conversation with Seokjin and come to us.

His father hasn't changed a bit.

"Jungkook, we should go. You have to teach the kids later." Jean tells him.

Teach the kids?

"Kim Dae?" Jungkook's father asks as he sees me.

I smile, "Hi, Mr.Jeon." I say.

"It's nice seeing you again. Jungkook and Bree have talked to me about you." He responds.

"Nice things I hope." I say.

"Always." Mr. Jeon says.

Jungkook clears his throat, putting a hand around Jean, "Guys. This is my best friend, Jean." He presents him.

Little does he know that his best friend is betraying him with his girlfriend.

"Nice to meet you all, but JK," Jean pats his back, "you should go before it's late for your class with the kiddos."

"You're kicking me out, huh." He jokes with Jean.

"Class with the kiddos?" Jimin asks out loud.

Jungkook nods, "I'm teaching dance class to a group of kids in 'Tiny Stars'." he explains.

Tiny Stars is a dance studio purely for kids. It's so well known here around Seoul.

"I used to go there as a kid." Jimin reminisces.

"Then maybe you could sometime help me out with a class, I always like to bring people with me to the classes," Jungkook explains, "the kids love meeting new people."

Jimin's eyes widen, "Me?"

Jungkook nods, "Yes, hyung."

Jimin nods before agreeing, "Okay! We should arrange the day and all the other things like–"

A smile creeps up in my face. Seeing Jimin get excited over dancing makes me happy. He deserves all the great things that this world has to offer. My friend's happiness is what matters, always.
