Episode 24
"Jungkook-ah!" Taehyung yelled from the other side of the bathroom door as he banged on it with a closed fist. "Can fucking not hoard the bathroom in the morning? I really need to take a dump."
Jungkook snickered, amused by his friend's misery as he looked down on his phone he was playing subway surfers on. His smile fell as he crashed into a subway, watching in disappointment as the cop caught up to his avatar.
He stood up from the toilet, flushing it and turning to the mirror to run a rand through his hair, shrugging his shoulders and walking out, letting Taehyung rush into the small space.
"Oh my god Jungkook!" He heard the muffle yell, as soon as the door was slammed shut. "Open the window at least, i swear to god!"
He laughed breathily, buttoning his uniform up before tightening his tie. Belt buckle open and pants unzipped, he made his way to the kitchen whilst tucking the end of his shirt in them, jumping slightly as he noticed someone already in it.
"Oh!" He hicccupped. "Hey Yoongi-hyung."
The man turned around, looking down from under his black hair at the messy younger, chuckling softly.
"Hey Kook, how've you been?" the older asked, opening the fridge to fetch the carton of apple juice.
"Pretty good, i guess." Jungkook answered, looking down slightly awkwardly.
He'd always been quiet intimidated by Taehyung's older brother, Yoongi. Though to be fair, anyone would be intimidated by the sight of him. Despite him being short and of a smaller satire, he had that aura that floated around him, along with the constant smell of cigarette smoke.
He had thin, dark eyes constantly seeming bored, a pale complexion and plump lips, his bottom one cuffed in a hoop piercing in the middle of it, right under his cupid's bow.
"And you?" He asked, looking up from his cup of chocolate milk hesitantly. "How'd your class go?"
Yoongi hadn't had the chance to graduate high school, so he was taking evening classes to become a music producer of some sort and played part time as a pianist in a restaurant to help support Taehyung and himself.
"Pretty good." The older's gravely voice sounded as he turned around to face Jungkook, now leaning against the kitchen counter.
Jungkook nodded, looking away. Somehow the older seemed troubled by something.
He shrugged it off, knowing there's was no way in hell he would ever talk about it even if Jungkook asked. He stood up from his seat, also placing his mug in the sink before leaving to school.
"I'm off." He yelled into the house as he held the door open.
"Have a good day at school." Yoongi smiled softly, making Jungkook chuckle in return and wave him off before stepping out.
The staircase of the old apartment building was lugubrious, the walls stained black with humidity, some gravel rolling around under Jungkook's sneakers and the unpleasant smell of piss floating around.
Jungkook ran down it hastily, whistling a soft tune in an attempt to ignore his surroundings as he buried his hands in his pockets. As much as he hated these staircases, there was no way in hell he'd put his trust in the crappy elevator.
He finally rushed outside the building, taking a deep breath of fresh air as his whistled tune became a hum, walking with a slight kick in his step towards the sids of the building where he'd secured his bike.
The scene with Taehyung and the arrival of Yoongi had put him in a good mood.
He cracked the lock of his bike open, unraveling it before securing it to the back of it and pushing his bike on the street, before he could mount it though, his phone buzzed in his pocket.
Taking the device out, he sighed when he saw his father's contact appear on the screen before bringing it to his ear.
"Hello?" He said, pushing his bike further along the road.
"Jungkook-ah!" His father yelled on the other side, making the boy jolt slightly as he brought the phone further away from his ear. "Where the fuck are you? You better come back home boy! Don't you fucking d-"
Jungkook hung up, shoving his phone back in his pocket and peddling to school. HIs good mood completely ruined, he could only put all his anger to push the pedals faster, probably breaking his speed record to school.

Jimin stepped out of the school bus, hands gripping the straps of his backpack as he looked down at the ground, twirling his tongue behind his teeth and nibbling on his bottom lip absentmindedly.
Someone bumped into his shoulder as he tried to make his way through the packed hall, but he hardly even registered it as he rushed to his locker trying his best not to meat anyones eyes.
He'd knocked his little toe against the doorframe of his room, instantly ruining his mood for the day. He didn't want to deal with anyone today, only go to his classes, take notes and hopefully go back home without any inconveniences.
His mind filled with dread as an arm found over his shoulder, resisting the urge to roll his eyes and slump his shoulders, though it was completely drained away when he heard a familiar voice.
"Jimin-ah, Good morning!" Said the cheery voice.
He turned to the side, meeting the beaming smile of Yeongsu. He couldn't remember how long it had been since someone had greeted his like this at school -and even ever-. It made his eyes widen slightly and his mouth hang open as his shoulders tensed.
Yeongsu chuckled, gently tapping Jimin's chin to close his mouth as he guided them both to step forward and move to the lockers.
"Why do you look so surprised?" He asked, as if the people around Jimin's locker weren't looking at them with shocked eyes. "Don't tell me you've fallen for my charms already?"
And with that he tightened his arm around Imin, bringing their heads slightly closer to one another. The younger rolled his eyes as a cheeky smile played at his lips, not at all fazed by Yeongsu's ministrations.
"I'm sorry Jimin, but i don't really swing that w-" His joking words were interrupted as Jimin shoved him off with a large smile, a few choked giggles escaping his throat.
"Yah-" Yeongsu joked again as he grabbed Jimin's face with his hand, squishing his cheeks and making his mouth come together in a pout. "I take that back, Jimin-ah, why are you so cute when you smile?"
