"Hi Mrs. Park, I'm Jimin's friend from school. And work. I'm actually his boss at work" Taehyung introduced himself to Jimin's mom when she walked in from her job. She was a little surprised to find out Jimin already had friends to invite over.

"Oh, you're so young. It's nice to meet you Taehyung. I hope Jimin isn't giving you too much trouble, he's not really the type to have friends so he tends to isolate himself-"

"Mom! Stop saying those things to everyone you meet. Also, Tae isn't my boss he's my boss's son" Jimin came out of his room freshly showered and dressed up.

"Details, Jimin... Details" Tae shook his head, making the mother chuckle. "I assume you guys are going out for the night?" she asked, clearly excited about the fact.

"Yes mom, dinner is on the counter" he announced before stealing a kiss on her cheek, picking up his keys and pushing Tae out the door.

"Nice seeing you Mrs. Park" Tae managed to say before the door closed. "I can't take you anywhere, geez" Jimin laughed pushing the younger to the side. "You're just embarrassed your mom exposed your social anxiety. Didn't think you lived like that, new kid" Tae teased and he shook his head "Shut up"

"Where are we going?"

"Yoongi's place, we all hang out there when his brother comes back from campus on the weekends"

"Cool, is he fine with me tagging along"

"Chill Jimin, he's a college kid not some middle-aged woman" he laughed and the other shrugged.

"I don't know man, they're called boundaries"

"You'll meet everyone and understand what we're about on your own" Taehyung last said and continued walking in silence until they reached a two story house.

Tae rang the bell, and soon enough the door was opened by Yoongi, who didn't even bother looking at who it was. He just walked back inside, letting him do the same as he dragged Jimin along.

"Hobi, did you bring me the chips you said you would?!" Taehyung shouted, as loud as he is, in someone else's house. Jimin was tempted to shush him or at least try to stop him from making a mess with his stuff already, but he could only watch when the other man came running to hug the younger.

"My favorite kiddo! Of course I did, the fuck you thought" he said and ruffled Tae's hair. Jimin had just finished aligning his shoes neatly in the corner, and when he looked up he found both boys staring at him quizzically.

"You brought someone normal this time" the young man named Hobi said, not taking his eyes off the stranger while nudging Tae's side. "Yup" the younger replied.

"Um, hi. I'm Park Jimin, Tae's friend. Hobi, right? Should I just call you that?" Jimin extended his hand and the other checked with him. "It's nice to meet you Jimin, and yeah everyone calls me Hobi... Make yourself comfortable okay? I mean it's not my house but still I'm sure Namjoon would agree" the guy laughed. All three walked up the stairs to the room, he entered last and was surprised to find out there was yet another person he didn't know, excluding Tae's cousin. This was rather the largest group of friends he ever hung out with.

Two obviously older guys were playing a video game, they had their backs to the door so he couldn't really see what they looked like, and a third one -quite handsome he might add- was laying on the bed scrolling on his phone.

"Guys, this is Jimin. He's a new student at Blue and he works with me at the store " Tae introduced him and Yoongi looked over to where they were standing. "Don't be so tense new kid, they might be older but I'm the most intimidating" he said as a matter-of-fact and one of the boys playing chuckled.

"shut up" he laughed and quickly stole a glance at Yoongi.

"Only facts Jimin, don't even worry they're all pussies when it comes down to the real stuff" Jimin sat next to him and pulled his phone out. "What kind of real stuff" he asked in curiosity. He had a feeling this group wasn't the type to chill in a cafe, but he wanted to know what kind of activities he might have to take part in.

"Breaking into places, vandalizing walls... You know, that kind of real stuff" Yoongi replied as if it was the most normal thing to say and earned a smack from Hobi. He hissed and tried to hit him back when a guy playing video games threw a pillow at him. 

"Shut up Yoongi, you're gonna scare our new friend away" he said, making the boy pout uncharacteristically.

"What are you doing dude we're a team here, forget about Yoongi and put your head in the game" the other player said.

One of the three should be Namjoon, Jimin thought. He doubted the owner of the room would let someone else lay on his bed like that, so it must be him. Jimin rested his elbows on his knees and pulled himself in a sitting position before directing his attention to the young man.

"Hey um, Namjoon. Thanks for letting me join tonight" Jimin started, but the guy was not listening, he tried calling again but he was too focused on his screen to even look at him. What Jimin did not know was that the actual Namjoon had turned from the video game to where he was sitting, and watched him address his friend Jin by his name.

Jungkook knit his eyebrows and mouthed 'Who is this guy' to his cousin Tae who was about to suffocate trying to contain his laugh along with Yoongi, who just shook his head and covered his mouth in second hand embarrassment.

"Hey kid, I'm Namjoon. The guy you're talking to is Jin"

"Someone said something?" Jin finally included himself in the situation, completely oblivious to the shame Jimin was drowning in. He was speechless, absolutely gobsmacked by his own stupidity of not asking beforehand.

"Also, uh... This is awkward, but I had no idea you were showing up" Namjoon added "It's all good though, you're my brother's friend so you're welcome to hang with us"

Tae and Yoongi let out the laugh they were holding in for so long, the youngest hugged Jimin from the side and ruffled his hair "There you go, you're past your embarrassing moment, now you can let loose" he joked and Yoongi joined "Tae's right, you can stop being so polite and just make yourself at home. Do you align your shoes at home? No, exactly."

"I've always believed Tae was incapable of befriending anyone with basic human decency, so this is a good change for once" Hobi said and Jimin laughed. "Tae was actually very tame when I first met him. I don't even know how he came to be this weirdo all of a sudden" Jimin pointed out and Tae complained under his breath.

Jin then got up from the bed and quickly walked over to where Jimin was, he sat next to him and put an arm around his shoulder just as if they've known each other for years. 

"Jimin, don't mind them, I'm having a dilemma and I think you can help me out. I've been looking at these two pictures of me for the past 15 minutes and I can't decide which one to post" Jin explained.

'Is that really what he was doing on his phone the entire time?'

"Men don't spend hours choosing their pictures Jin, what are you a Kardashian?" Namjoon snickered and he rolled his eyes.

"I'm not just 'a man', I'm a handsome man and I need everyone to see it. I mean, you obviously can't relate but can you please try to understand?" Jin replied with a huff as the two high schoolers whistled.

"So? What do you say Jimin?"

"I mean... You could possibly, you know, post both" he suggested and Jin looked like he just had an epiphany.

"A genius! We have a genius among us guys. Thank you Jimin you're the best of all of Tae's weird ass friends" he said before going back to the bed and jumping on it.

"So am I just here to get my ass roasted?" Tae whined to Yoongi who wasn't exactly too bothered by anything. He just put a hand on his shoulder and nodded. "That's mainly how it goes every time anyway" he replied.

Jungkook suddenly sighed, putting the controller down and getting up from his seat to stretch his arms and legs "You're no competition Joon, go practice when you're alone, I'm tired of beating you every single time" Jungkook smugly said and Namjoon shook his head.

"I'll beat you soon dude, you're not winning by much lately" he pointed out with a smirk. "Who wants to play?" he asked and Yoongi got up.

"I'll always be here to destroy you brother" he said and sat next to him. They started the game and Tae suddenly decided he was hungry. "y'all want anything? I'm ordering"

Jimin was starting to become as bit taut again, everyone was doing their own thing and he overall just didn't feel very comfortable yet. The others are already so close that he thinks there is no space for him. He probably would've been better off staying home, in his own place where he belonged.
