lily grins to herself, excited to say the least at the thought of being sneaky as fuck, and so legitimately awesome that even a brother like jungkook couldn't tell what she has been doing. more than being happy for herself on achieving a big milestone like most of the kids in her school, especially in her friend circle, she is proud to have accomplished it without her nosy big brother (jeon jungkookie) knowing anything.

he's naive.

getting out of the car, the driver bows as she leaves, lily heads straight upstairs to her room, since she already knows that her brothers won't be— "lily? is that you?" oh? she stops in the middle of the staircase, turning back and peeks over the railing from the side, trying to get a view of the kitchen from where she just heard taehyung's voice.

"yes, oppa." she replies, "i'm back from school."

"oh great. come, have lunch with me."

lily smiles at that, heading to the kitchen instead of her room. she leaves her bag on the dining table, walking upto to her brother on the counter and greets him with a happy grin, followed by a hug. "hey, tiger," taehyung smiles, ruffling her hair and pulls her to sit on his lap. "how was school today?"

"mm'nice," lily says casually, picking up taehyung's fork and takes a piece of his steak, humming at the perfect taste. she glances at the two cooks over her shoulder, giving a thumbs up, which earns her fond smiles from the women.

"that's good," taehyung says, holding lily's hand as he feeds himself as well.

"how are you home early today?" lily asks, surprised as she faces him entirely, putting down the fork for she's not that hungry, especially after the amount of chocolates she had in the last period all by herself.

"i just had an interview today." the brother says, "it went well and we wrapped up pretty fast."

"oh, cool." she hums, hissing softly to herself as her hands move up to remove the tiny hair from her forehead that making it feel like there's something crawling on her skin. she pushes her ponytail back, tightening it high on her head because of her love for high ponytails. taehyung lets out a chuckle, suddenly remembering that jimin was saying something about lily needing a haircut.

that's going to be a struggle, considering that the girl likes her medium length hair and has even been planning on highlighting them in blue, pink and purple on platinum blonde hair, something like she saw on one of the characters in a netflix series. taehyung and jungkook, on imagining the picture, admitted that it would look dope and she could be the coolest kid in school if she's not already. however, jimin had a different concern. to him, the bigger problem was that her beautiful, healthy hair will be damaged by the bleach and hair dye, and that she's still young to be experimenting with stuff like that.

if it was jungkook saying that, lily would've sat in front of him and did what she wanted, but since she's weak in front of jimin (and taehyung), there's no other option than to listen and be a good girl that she has always been. except for sometimes, like these days. she doesn't know about the elder two, but if jungkook came to know about her secret, which isn't even that big of a secret, he will surely explode in anger.

his heart might give up against him.

jungkook has always been dramatic. he loves drama, but not more than taehyung. the latter lives for thrill and suspense, and he would be so down to see this one unfolding live. lily isn't really sure if taehyung will be mad or not, but she has a feeling that in the end he might just let it slide and look at the fun side of the situation. jimin would definitely be worried without even trying to hide it, and lily just knows that her pep talks and big-people convo's will all be in jimin's hands. that's why she might even dare to tell taehyung and jimin about this, but with jungkook she has to be careful and cautious. he wouldn't even think before grounding her for the rest of her life.

lily has a boyfriend.

her very first, very official, very own boyfriend, if you don't count the few hours of her dating back in middle school. this boyfriend is special. the one she can hug and hold hands with. the one she has been joining for lunch. and also the one who got her chocolates today.

he's sweet, handsome and caring. lily likes him for more reasons than one, for instance he's a great soccer player, even though her friend, yohan is the captain for the under sixteen team. he is good in studies, not a top ranker like lily and jenny, but better than alec. he knows the difference between a parabola and a rectangular hyperbola already! he's amazing in drawing and painting, that's literally his passion. one of his sketches is selected to have a separate page in the school magazine this year. he's not that bad of a dancer too, which is why they paired up today in dance period to prepare a duet like others in their class.

and he, the boyfriend, is coming over today.

his name you ask? kim jeonghun, pals. lily's first ever serious puppy love! cheers!

"oppa," taehyung hums for her to continue, and lily smiles at him, "someone's coming over today."

"who?"

"a friend from my class. he's my dance partner for the week."

"oh, that's good. what song are you guys doing?"

"not decided yet, but he said he's okay with whatever i choose," she says with a proud smile, "and i was thinking run bts."

"that's actually hard. do you think you can do it in just a week?"

"i can try. and we do have like eight days plus one sunday, so technically nine days to learn everything." she shrugs her shoulders, "and it's not all new for me. i've seen you all practicing a lot of times, so i know some of the thing in my head."

"what about your partner?" taehyung chuckles, patting the sister's back, "when you work in a team, you can't just be thinking about yourself, kiddo."

"uhm he can work hard with me." lily says, getting up from taehyung's lap and kisses his cheek, "i'll go get changed. he must be here in a while— oh! can i take him to the practice room?"

"of course," taehyung smiles, "let me know if you need anything else."

"yeah, thanks taetae." she giggles, waving at him before jogging upstairs to her room. she puts her bag in it's place, taking out a white baby-tee from her closet, along with a pair of soft, cotten shorts and heads straight to the bathroom. she freshens up quickly, getting changed in her normal clothes and returns back to the room, standing in front of the dresser.

she lets her hair down after having them tied for the whole day till now, and brushes them back, putting on nothing but a plastic hairband to avoid getting them in her face. she then puts on a pair of fluffy, bunny socks and smiles at her feet, loving how soft and warm everything felt now.

"lily! your friend's here!"

"coming!" she responds, jogging downstairs quickly and breaks into a smile at the sight of her boyfriend. jeonghun. "hey," she says, approaching him with a wave, which he returns.

"hi, you look nice, lily." he compliments with a smile, completely forgetting that taehyung's there as well. the brother chuckles at the cute set of words from the boy, nodding his head as moves past lily.

"yeah, you do look nice." he whispers with a teasing grin, getting a look from lily. he ruffles her hair, leaning down to wrap his arm around her and says, "we need to talk about him later, okay?" lily looks up at him, smiling mischievously as she nods and hugs taehyung.

"thanks for being so cool."

"of course. this house will burn down if all three of us guys are stupid, angry type." he jokes.

"yeah," lily laughs lightly and focuses back on her classmate. taehyung pats her back, telling the kids that they can go ahead and take the practice room, which otherwise is meant for the brothers to perfect their moves. lily leads jeonghun inside after taking a bottle of water with her, so that she won't have to come to get it later.

"so..." she starts off, standing in front of the big mirror with the boyfriend, who is more relaxed than he was when lily talked to him in school and told him how strict and protective her brothers are, especially when it comes to boys. "have you thought of a song?" lily asks, pulling him out of the trailing thoughts.

he shrugs his shoulders, staring at lily through the reflection, "i was thinking that we could do a song with an easy choreography...? i mean, i'm not the best dancer, so..."

"no, i'm sure you're not that bad." lily laughs a little, pulling out her phone and plays the video of her brothers' group dancing to their song, run bts. it's the choreography version from the practice room in their agency. jeonghun's eyes go wide, staring at the video where the seven older boys dance with perfection and one-hundred percent accurate synchronisation, while he's not sure if he will even be able to move his leg right or not.

"you wanna do this?" he asks in disbelief, "lily, when i say i'm a bad dancer, i mean it with everything inside me. there's no way on earth i can ever do it like them."

"you're saying that because you haven't tried." lily says, putting the phone down by the speakers and puts on the song. "let's go, we'll learn it. it won't be that hard."

"but—"

"oh c'mon, we have to be the best." the girl declares, "we have to show everyone that we're all rounders."

"no, lily. you are an all rounder. not me."

"don't say that. we're both good at something." she says.

jeonghun sighs deeply and shakes his head, "can we just do another song? maybe something with an easier choreography?"

lily takes a deep breath as well, saying nothing even though she nods her head. she goes back to the speakers, picking up her phone and pauses the song, "which one?" she asks with little interest, already not liking that jeonghun discarded her choice when he told her himself that he would be okay with whatever she decided. 

"uhm do we have to do your brothers' songs?" he asks, getting a look from lily. she arches up a brow as though challenging him to say something stupid and watch her snap back. "no, i mean they're all so good and their songs usually have tough choreos..."

"what do you wanna do then? jay park?" she mocks, feeling sorry for the boy for he shuts up entirely, staring down at his feet, as though he was feeling bad that he's not as good and confident as his girlfriend. lily sighs softly, reaching out to him and sits down on the floor, pulling him along with her. they sit facing each other, and lily holds his hand, "look, jeonghun. you have to try okay? how do you know you can't do something when you haven't even tried it? and who said you'll get it all at once. it takes time. even my brothers keep practicing for days, that's how they pull it off every time."

"yeah, but i'm not them." the boy mumbles, "i know i can't do it and i don't wanna make a fool of myself in front of everyone. you're one of the cool kids, lily. everyone likes you and they know that you're an all rounder, as you always wanna be. i'm not like you. i thought you'd choose a simple song and we'll just dance a little bit—"

"really?" lily frowns, "you don't wanna a fool of yourself. and what about me? how do you think i'll feel if i don't give my hundred percent in this. and also, not everyone likes me. you just see it that way because you like to believe that, like many others... y'know what? just choose whichever song you like. i'll do it. let's get over with this."

with that she stands up, disconnecting her phone from the speakers and nods for him to connect it instead. jeonghun quietly scrolls through his playlist, not saying anything to lily for he didn't want to make her mad. selecting a random song, he gives his phone to lily and watches as she connects it to the bluetooth speakers in the room.

one hour into making up the steps and picking some up from what lily had learnt from her brothers', she managed to put together a decent choreography. it's not that hard, and actually doesn't really look bad either. she can work with it. but looks like jeonghun is still having trouble getting the moves right.

"no, do it like this— lift up your right leg then bring your left arm to the side." lily instructs, guiding his movements and nods, "yeah, better."

jeonghun glances at the mirror, not liking his own stiff posture while lily could do everything easily. the door of the practice room is opened and taehyung enters with a smile, and also a tray of juice and some some snacks. "c'mon, you guys must be hungry." he says, sitting down on the floor and places the tray in front of him.

"i am," jeonghun says quickly, leaving lily standing alone for he rushed a little too quick to get away. she frowns at him, not saying anything and goes to sit with her brother. says nothing to jeonghun and just casually picks up her glass of juice.

"so, have you guys finalized a song?" taehyung asks, starting up a conversation since his sister didn't do it.

"yeah," lily nods, "we're not doing run bts."

"that's okay. what song are you preparing then?"

"dancing with a stranger." she says while munching on a potato nugget, getting a hesitant look from her boyfriend. his eyes slowly move to taehyung, praying that the bts member will not be offended for not choosing a bts song, or mock at him for having a lame music taste.

"sam smith and normani, right?" taehyung asks.

"y-yeah," jeonghun gulps, smiling nervously at taehyung as he tries to cover up, "i like your songs, hyung. but they're too hard for me... so i just randomly chose this one..."

taehyung laughs at that, nodding his head, "you should be comfortable performing a song, no matter which one you choose. and who said this isn't a great track? it's amazing if you ask me."

"really?" jeonghun blinks a few times, getting an annoyed look from lily.

"obviously. just because he's bts, or i'm his sister doesn't mean we don't listen to and appreciate other artists." she says as a matter of fact, giving the boy a straight 'what the fuck?' look.

"it's okay, lily. he must be nervous." taehyung smiles awkwardly, patting his sister's back while the girl just huffs, sipping up her juice and stands up, dusting her hands. "i'll come back in a minute. we can continue practicing after that." she says, heading to the washroom, leaving jeonghun and taehyung alone for a while.

"did you guys have a fight?" taehyung asks softly.

jeonghun looks down, shaking his head subtly, "not a fight. but she's not happy."

"and why's that?"

"because i'm not as good as her...? she's perfect, hyung. she's good in studies, art, singing, sports and even dance. she wanted to dance on your song, the new one. but i said it was too hard for me. and just like that we kinda had a small argument... i chose this song, and she choreographed it but i still can't seem to get it right. it's still hard. i guess i'm just not made for dancing..."

taehyung hums softly, nodding as he understands the problem and smiles a little, "i'm sorry if lily came of rude or anything. she doesn't really have a filter on her tongue, especially with people whom she's close with. and about your dance problem, you won't believe me but all of our members at some point in life thought that maybe they're not meant for dancing or singing— if you leave exceptions like jimin amd hobi hyung." he chuckles, making jeonghun smile as well.

"really? but you guys are so good."

"we practice, kiddo. all of us need practicing, and some of us even stay back and keep doing it over and over again alone too until we're good and ready to match the pace of our group."

"i'm trying, hyung. but i just feel like i can't do it. i've never really been on any physical stuff before."

"did lily really make it that complicated? she might just forget it herself." taehyung laughs to himself, standing up with jeonghun once the boy's done eating.

"uhm can you do it? i think lily's mad at me, so she's just making it extra tough without even knowing it." jeonghun sighs. he then suddenly realises what he just asked taehyung to do and shakes his head quickly, "i mean you don't have to, of course. only if you have time."

"i get it, it's fi—"

the door of the practice room shuts loudly as lily walks in with a glare, crossing her arms on her chest and she stops in front of jeonghun, "you think i'm doing it because you pissed me off? look, jeonghun i'm really trying to get your point okay? we already switched one song for you, even before you tried out the choreo. and even with this one you're not willing to practice and just—" she inhales deeply, massaging her temples.

"i don't know what you want. like do you expect to just suddenly know all the steps? do you expect to get perfect seeing a video or watch me dance? now you think that i'm making the dance hard just because you rejected one song i liked? bro, that's not how it is, and i feel bad that you even think like that. keep your awesome image with yourself and just don't do anything, because if you try and you fail, then people are going to look at you and make fun of you. which you obviously don't like. so leave me be, i'll do the dance alone. i don't need a partner who's not willing to make efforts."

jeonghun stares at lily with a shocked expression, even taehyung is surprised with all that coming from his once-introverted sister. he doesn't understand what kind of growth and development is this, but the brothers' attempt of making her come out of her shell is going places these days. before lily says anything more, taehyung steps in front of her, cupping her face and leans down, "hush, that's enough. what's wrong with you suddenly? is that how talk to your friend?" he says and lily pouts, stepping closer to hug taehyung and does a tiny 'hmph' to let him and jeonghun know that she doesn't care what she came off like.

"i'm sorry," jeonghun mumbles, "maybe we shouldn't've partnered up for this. i know i'm not good—"

"don't even say it." lily glares at him, pulling back from her brother who sighs at the boy for calling lily up for another round of harsh reality check. "i know that you're insecure about things, but jeonghun try to understand that you cannot use that as an excuse. everytime you have to do something that requires the tiniest bit of effort, you're like— oh, i'm not like you, i'm not good at stuff and shit like that. please, that's ridiculous how you use it as an excuse to avoid getting into anything out of your comfort zone. nobody's good at everything, expect for yeonjun from txt and my jiminie oppa and yoongi oppa, but it's okay."

taehyung frowns at the sister, staring with disbelief for he recognises this little simp. his worry subsiding for a moment and is replaced by a smile that he can't just let loose right now. lily shakes her head, being all serious even though she knows that in any other situation she would be grinning at how smooth she is when it comes to praising yeonjun, jimin and yoongi.

"sorry, i'm going..." jeonghun mutters.

lily sighs softly and steps near him, "i'm sorry if i said something too mean. i didn't mean it. but please, think about what i said. you'll only get what you want when you work for it. anyway, you can still be my partner for this dance... i just," she scratches her head, "-said it in anger. uhm but only if you practice and try to be good."

jeonghun says nothing but nods, and lily hums, "and uhm, i think i wanna break up, jeonghun. i'm sorry, i can't be with someone with that mentality... i mean, it's not the first time you said all that to me. you act like i get everything i want just because i'm cute or because my family is rish and famous. that bothers me a little..."

"no, lily—"

"no, it's fine. i get you have your own uhm understanding, and that's okay. i respect it. but i just don't wanna hear those things from my friends, and especially my boyfriend, when I literally put in the work for all the stuff."

"but i never said that..."

lily arches up her a brows, surprised with the flip and chuckles dryly, nodding her head, "well then, we should definitely end this." she says with her teeth grinding, "why would you wanna date someone who accuses of things you didn't do, right? break up with me." she says, crossing her arms on her chest, while jeonghun gulps, glancing back at her brother,

"what?" lily glares at him, "i'm here, talk to me. jerk, just— i thought we could still be friends. but no! y'know what, jeonghun? just go and find another partner who can probably sit down with you until next week and get nothing done. goodbye, that's the way to the door. don't get lost in my mansion." she scoffs, emphasizing on deliberately on how huge her house is. she turns around as she doesn't wish to see him anymore, and faces taehyung instead. her eyes slowly filling with tears because of everything that she just said.

taehyung sighs as the boys leaves, and sits down on the floor, leaning against the wall. lily joins him too, resting her head on his chest and rubs her eyes, "do you think i did something wrong?" she mumbles.

"not really." he strokes her back, "so he was your boyfriend... wow,"

"yeah, sorry..."

"it's okay, i guess." taehyung chuckles softly, looking down at lily's face and leans closer to kiss her forehead. "i'm actually happy that you told him what you didn't like."

"mm-hmm, i was pissed. he's always like that with everyone. but he's also very caring and kind... and cute."

"lily, baby, we don't ever talk about exes like that. once they're gone, they're gone." taehyung gives her a look, getting a grin from the girl as she wipes off her tears and sits up straight. taehyung ruffles her hair and kisses her cheek, "don't be upset. breaks up happen, people come and go, and life doesn't stop for anyone. so, it's fine. remember what eminem said?"

"my name is chicka-chicka slim shady...?" she asks, making taehyung laugh loudly as he shakes his head.

"no, the other one." he says, "bitches they come, they go—"

"monday to sunday yo!" lily cheers, hugging taehyung tightly and laughs, "you're the best! jungkookie and jiminie oppa would never be so cool about it!"

"you think?" the voice makes lily gasp, pulling away from taehyung's hug to find jungkook and jimin heading towards them. she bites her tongue nervously, hugging taehyung again to hide her face in his shoulder.

"i see a lot of love their." jungkook teases.

"i see some mischief about to be confessed." jimin chuckles, "what are you guys up to? and in the practice room today?" he asks, sitting down with jungkook near taehyung and lily.

"yeah, just having a deep conversation." taehyung says, "my baby tiger is growing up and being a real tiger." he sniggers.

"oh yeah," lily nods with a grin, squinting her eyes at jungkook, "i bite."

"of course, i had to get a myself vaccinated to avoid catching rabies." jungkook says.

"i'm not a dog! i'm a tiger! you'll die before rabies happens, silly jungkookie."

"do you think you'll be able to kill me?"

"duh, we can always hunt bunnies." she smirks, making taehyung laugh once again, giving her a high-five. even jimin seems to find that funny for he's gives an impressive smile too.

"yeah sure, this tiger comes to me at night when being scared of ghosts." jungkook pulls lily on his lap, tickling her sides, eliciting a playful cackle from her lips. he leans down, pretending to bite her cheek, but ends up placing a kiss instead, "you might be tae's tiger, but a little puppy in my arms."

"those are two different animals. what are you guys doing?" she laughs and looks at jimin, "what do you think i am, oppa? a puppy or tiger?"

"none," jimin smiles fondly, stroking her hair, "lily's just my little baby."

"yeah, that's better. at least i'm a human to you." she moves to jimin, leaning onto his side and glances at taehyung. the playfulness settles down and she takes a deep breath, "i have something to tell you, oppa."

"hm?" jimin pats her side.

"is it good or bad?" jungkook asks, "no, i mean we can mentally be prepared accordingly."

"uhm good," she says.

"oh, thank god. what is it?"

"i broke up with a stupid boy." she smiles proudly, getting frowns from jimin and jungkook as the two just stare at her and wait for her to say more. "yeah, that's all."

"you broke up with a boy...?" jimin repeats.

"a stupid one, oppa." lily specifies, getting a scoff from the jungkook.

"you had a freaking boyfriend?! i told you not to date before you're old enough!"

"everyone's dating, koo. it's normal." lily says, "and i'm not even dating anymore. it's over. i dumped him just a few minutes ago."

"yeah," taehyung nods, "it's not that big of a deal. it would be if she didn't dump him and kept this— their thing going."

"you—" jimin massages his temples, turning lily to face him and pulls her in a hug, "my child, tell me what happened? did tae tell you his weird stories about his old relationships?"

"no, oppa. i know it. eminem said, bitches they come they go—"

"monday to sunday yo!" jungkook completes the lyric quickly, holding out his fist for a fist-bump, which lily responds to quickly.

"who's teaching you these life-changing mottos, baby?" jimin asks softly to her, at the same time shooting a nasty glare to the brothers.

"taetae," lily smiles, "but oppa, it's true. jeonghun wasn't that nice and so i thought i should break up with him. he was so negative about everything and kept saying that he wasn't me, and couldn't do things like me—"

"that's okay, princess. everyone's different and it's fine if they can't do some things." jimin says, "i just hope you didn't overboard with him?"

"no, i said i what i said and it was all true." lily huffs, "he didn't deserve me, oppa." she shakes her head, standing up and flips her hair, tying them up with the rubber band that usually wears on her wrist.

"yes, exactly!" jungkook springs up on his feet as well, "the guys out there don't deserve you. you're our princess and they're... weird punks."

"yep," lily nods with a grin and pulls jungkook in the middle of the practice room, motioning her hand for the elder two to join as well. "teach me the run bts choreo, please?"

"sure, but why?" jungkook asks.

"she has to perform in school. that's why the boy was here a while ago until they had some disagreements." taehyung says, while putting on the song and takes his place beside lily. jungkook stands on her other side, and jimin stands in the front, gesturing his hand in the mirror, telling her to follow him.

the boys start off as soon as the song starts and lily's left stunned, missing the beats and eventually the entire first verse. so she just sits down in front of them, watching them with fascination in her eyes and sings along, as the song transitions forward, jimin steps towards lily, pulling her up right before the chorus hits and nods for her to dance with them. so lily joins with her messy steps, not caring if she did right or not, just enjoys dancing with her brothers.

the songs ends soon and another one starts playing, but this is not a bts song. yet, it makes lily gasp excitedly, turning to jungkook who quickly takes his postion in front of her, acting like he doesn't care, resting his arm on taehyung's shoulder, and lily walks up to him extra dramatically with her hands on her hips as she sings along the lyrics, "the moon is high, like your friends were the night that we first met."

jimin laughs amusedly, sitting down with his phone recording the youngers' performance soon as taehyung withdraws himself from the duo.

"went home and tried to stalk you on the internet. now i've read all of the books beside your bed." lily shrugs her shoulders, and jungkook chuckles as a part of his act, pushing her hand away from him when she tries to hold it. she rolls her eyes and turns away, now it's jungkook's turn to follow her like a lovestruck puppy and while lily just grins. "the wine is cold, like the shoulder i gave you in the street."

she takes a few steps until she's close to the wall and grins when jungkook kneels down, enjoying the song with his sister and it shows in the way his eyes shimmer as lily's smiling excitedly. he leans forward to kiss her left cheek and lily giggles, mouthing the lyrics to him, "kiss me once 'cause you know i had a long night," then he kisses her right cheek, making her laugh as she doesn't hold back from draping her arms around his neck, "kiss me twice 'cause it's gonna be alright." her eyes crinkle close with the wide smile as for the third time, jungkook kisses the tip of her nose.
"three times 'cause i've waited my whole life!"

"i like shiny things, but i'd marry you with paper rings, uh huh, that's right
darling, you're the one i want, and
i hate accidents except when we went from friends to this, uh huh, that's right
darling, you're the one i want
in paper rings, in picture frames, in dirty dreams. oh, you're the one i want."

she's singing along the song, happy and excited as she jumps up on her feet, doing random dances that match the lyrics, pulling jungkook to dance with her too, not minding how he was actually busy laughing. she cheers loudly for herself, clapping her hands and jumping in her place at the amazing performance she did, having taehyung and jungkook clapping for her as well. jimin stops recording, a smile permanent on his lips at the sight of his sister enjoying the moment to the fullest.

"let's go now, i'm hungry." jungkook says, "let's go eat something."

"no, koo, kiss me once 'cause you know i had a long night!" she sings even though the music has stopped. so jungkook gives in and kisses her cheek, chuckling when she keeps singing and makes her kiss him, two times and three times as per the lyrics, again.

"i like shiny things, but i'd marry you paper rings. uh-huh, that's right, darling!" she cups his cheek, pouting at him dramatically, making him chuckle as he enters the kitchen. he lets her sit on the counter, and nods for the helping staff to go.

"i think we're done with that now?" jungkook says, throwing away his shirt and washes his hands nicely before picking up a pan.

"no, i'll make paper rings for us, koo. so then, you can show them to people and tell them you only love lily." the sister grins, slipping down from the counter but jungkook is quick to approach her instead and places her back on the counter top.

"yeah? so, i'll wear your paper rings everywhere?" he holds his laugh, glancing at his hyungs who are laughing silently as lily nods her head. "and what am i gonna tell army when they ask me about it?"

"that you love lily."

"ah okay, but lily just broke up with her boyfriend. isn't it too early to move on?" he plays along, showing fake concern which makes jimin and taehyung burst out laughing.

"no, it's not. fuck the boyfriend, koo. i love you wayyyy more!" she says, hugging jungkook and kisses his cheek. jungkook too, wraps his arms around lily's tiny body and pats her back.

"boyfriends are so bad." he whispers with a mischievous grin and lily follows the giggle, nodding her head, which taehyung joins as well, being an active member of the say-no-to-boyfriends party.

"lily, did you kiss jeonghun?" jungkook suddenly asks with a horrified expression, relaxing only when like shakes her head, making a puking face. "thank god, you should not let anyone kiss you or touch you okay? tell us if anyone tries that."

"okay, then you beat him and say that don't touch lily, eww!" she cringes, and jungkook nods with a grin.

"hey, lily doesn't have a special song with us." taehyung pouts at the sister.

"we have a song, tae oppa. we sing good 4 u and what makes you beautiful together." lily says.

"ah yes, and what about jiminie?" he asks, as jimin nods waiting for an answer too.

"deja vu— and you belong with me! yes!" she grins, hugging jimin as he's standing close to her now.

"okay, now do you wanna drink milk or—"

"coffee, like you." she says.

"you don't even like coffee." jimin shakes his head, "i was asking if you want milk or you'd like to eat something?"

"coffee," lily says cutely, making jimin chuckle.

"alright. and you, tae?"

"coffee, but make it sweet."

"make mine sweet too." lily says, "jiminie oppa's sweet, so he'll make our coffee sweet, right oppa?" jimin laughs at that, his hand automatically going to pat the lily's head, as he nods for her.

"well, then jungkook might just make it really bitter and bad." taehyung sniggers.

"and that's probably why you can't even cook." jungkook says the next second, getting a surprised look from jimin while taehyung just clicks his tongue, not saying much since lily found it funny.
