I'm back.

-----------------

You sighed, dreading that your currently pristine living room was about to be turned into an absolute mess by your brother and your six friends. 

You loved them, you really did. But you didn't love the consequences that came with hanging out with them. Sometimes you wondered if you needed to go out and get some female friends, to get at least a few days of peace. Then you remembered the entire female population was scared of you because of the seven rowdy boys constantly surrounding you.

They even effect my fricking ability to get other friends. Douchebags.

Just as you were starting to really get into cursing them out, the said douchebags decided to bust the front door open.

You didn't even flinch, sadly used to this. 

They all yelled out their respective greetings, going and putting their different bags of groceries and snacks down in the kitchen, and you went back to thinking.

At least Jimin would be here. You were sadly lacking in cuddles recently, since Jimin had decided to stop touching you at all again after the short cafeteria incident, you were getting embarrassingly desperate. At this point you were about a day away from going to Jungkook and begging for a hug. 

Your poor, eyebrowless brother.

You snorted, before looking more closely at the group of boys in the kitchen. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...

You did a double take, looking back. 

Where the hell was Jimin?

You would not be robbed of your sole source of physical affection today. Your pride could not take the hit that it would take from begging your asshole of a brother for a hug. Or maybe even a pat on the head at this point.

Jin caught sight of your confused expression and called out you. "Jimin's coming, he said he just had to do something first."

You nodded, sinking back into the couch. You were partially relieved, partially upset. It wasn't even anything important, but only a few weeks ago Jimin would have called you frantically to let you know that piece of information himself. He had always felt this need to tell you where he was 24/7...

Maybe the recent lack of physical affection wasn't just a small thing. Maybe you were growing apart for real.

So much for working to be better friends...

It just didn't make sense. Every time the two of you had had a "fight" recently, it had ended with a promise to be better afterwards. But now he's starting yet another...what? What had you done now? Nothing that you knew of. Perhaps he had gone back to looking for his dream "angel"? Alone this time?

You were still frowning as the rest of the boys circled around with the snacks and settled into the couches themselves, Jin and Jungkook grabbing video game remotes, and handing the other two to Hoseok and Taehyung.

Yoongi sat down next to you and leaned in, going completely unnoticed by you.

"So what's wrong with you?" His rough voice that close to your ear jolted you back into reality, and you whipped your head around to face him, heart still beating hard from the unexpected scare.

"Why would you-"

Your sentence was cut off when you realized his face was way closer than you had originally thought, and the both of you whacked your faces together.

17 years old and you still had the spatial awareness of a freaking infant.

It wasn't even a cute, accidental brushing of lips like they alway show in dramas. No. The side of your face whacked against his nose, hard. Then your lips unevenly dragged across his top one, all before you lurched back, holding in the horrified scream building inside of you.

Yoongi clutched his nose while both of you stared at each other, wide eyed, then frantically looked around, hoping no one had seen that highly embarrassing moment.

You sighed in relief as you realized everyone had been focusing on the game, then nearly had another heart attack as you looked down and saw Jungkook staring at the two of you, wide-eyed, video game forgotten.

He raised a finger, pointing at the two of you, while you silently begged him to stay quiet about what he had just seen.

He stared at you for a second, his face seemingly blank, and just when you thought he would actually be nice for once and cooperate, an evil smirk took over his face. He had found a chance for revenge, and he was going to take it. 

"Y/N AND YOONGI JUST KISSED IN A REALLY GROSS WAY."

Everyone dropped their respective controllers and snacks, nearly snapping their necks with how quickly they turned to look at the two of you. Even in your flustered state, you didn't miss the way Hoseok's shoulders suddenly stiffened.

You would deal with that later.

You started stuttering, awkwardly trying to deny the accusation, while Yoongi stayed quiet, trying to look anywhere but Hoseok's eyes.

Outside, Jimin stood. Glaring at the door, his hand still raised in its knocking position.

So this is how it was going to go.

He let out a harsh laugh, dropping his hand. And just when I was going to let you get the easy path, Y/n.

He stepped back, getting out his phone.

His call was picked up immediately, and he smirked as the confused voice traveled through the speakers.

"J-jimin?"

"Hey, Yeona."

-----------------------------

Once the situation had been fully cleared, though not without some teasing remarks from the other boys, you sat back, rubbing your face.

Yoongi was now too preoccupied with his own thoughts and staring at Hoseok to go back to your earlier conversation, so you returned to your own earlier thoughts.

Where. Was. Jimin.

You needed those darned cuddles.

Just then, the doorbell rang, and you shot up out of your seat, scrambling over to the get the front door.

The rest of the boys watched your retreating back with bemused grins.

"She has no idea." Hoseok said casually, stuffing a handful of popcorn into his mouth. He couldn't help but feel slightly relieved after the previous situation with Yoongi was explained, but he didn't really want to dwell on why at the moment.

"She's not the only one." Taehyung muttered, and both Yoongi and Hoseok looked at him nervously. 

"W-what do you mean by that?" Yoongi asked nervously.

Taehyung stared hard at both of them, before breaking into a big smile. "Jimin, of course! He has no idea how much she likes him! Why? Who did you think I meant?" He asked, a sly smile replacing the previously bright one.

Yoongi opened his mouth, trying to think of a reply, but was thankfully saved by a shriek coming from the front door.

Your eyes sparkled as you looked at the two figures in your doorway.

The first was Jimin, so your cuddle meter could now be refilled, and the other was a girl.

A girl. 

God had heard your prayers.

Kim Yeona stood in the doorway.

You smiled widely, grabbing her hands. "You're not messy, right?" You asked excitedly.

She looked a little scared, but you didn't care in this moment. It was just a relief to see someone other than the same seven faces, day in and day out.

"I...uh...no?" She replied, still sounding unsure.

"Heck yES!" You yelled, pulling her into the room.

Today was a double score for you. You would forgive Jimin for his recent behavior for this gift.

"Y/n, wait." Jimin stopped your excited rant.

"I invited Yeona, so I think she'd be more comfortable with me." 

You turned around and saw his face completely blank, serious. Weird...

You tried to stop your face from falling,  but still let a little pout show as you huffed. 

"Fine...leave me with the hooligans." You muttered. 

Yeona quickly walked over to Jimin, and you sighed as you realized you probably freaked her out. Now you really wouldn't ever get a female friend.

You trailed behind them as the three of you walked the rest of the way into the room, then you watched, confused, as Jimin headed for the single recliner in the room, pulling Yeona along with him.

He plopped himself down and she shuffled a little as he laughed and patted the space next to him. "You can sit down, this chair's big enough for two." He told her happily.

Everyone, including you, watched in shock as she awkwardly complied. Jimin looking completely blissful and unaware of the gazes leveled at him.

Since when was Jimin choosing to be with other girls? When you were right here? And had barely seen each other all week? 

You tried to ignore all the pitying glances as you slowly made your way back to your seat next to Yoongi, still blank with shock.

...Had he taken Yeona up on her offer? Or did he realize she really was the one he was looking for? 

Were girls really more important than your friendship, now?

I guess I should have seen this coming at some point...

Yoongi, now recovered from his own embarrassment because of the shock of yours, sympathetically looped an arm around your shoulders and pulled your head into his neck, while everyone else went back to their previous activities, not wanting to make Yeona feel more uncomfortable than she already looked.

You barely registered Taehyung and Hoseok going over to try and start a conversation, as you sank a little more into Yoongi's embrace.

I guess these are the cuddles I was looking for...

But somehow, it didn't feel the same.

I hope this was okay?
