The duo before you didn't know what to do. "I'll let you have my popsicle?" Seokjin awkwardly held it out.

"Get it out of my face before I slap it away." Yoongi threatened and Jin immediately pulled it back. "Were you guys following us?"

"N-No!" Jungkook interjected. "We were just here because he dragged me here to look at some new shoes that were released today!" You raised an eyebrow. Was that the reason Jungkook ditched Yoongi today? "He asked and said that I wouldn't get any drinks at the bar if I didn't come."

Yoongi stayed silent while you asked your thoughts aloud. "You're under the drinking age?"

Jungkook glanced at you. "Yeah? I thought it was obvious." He pouted a bit. "Do I look that young?"

"No." Seokjin answered for him while you relished that fact in. You're not sure why but it was a bit surprising to you. You glanced at Yoongi to see that no expression changed on his face. It looked like he didn't believe them.

"I'll take that for now." He said to them and turned towards you. "We're leaving." He began to pull you away and you followed him.

Meanwhile, Jungkook gave Seokjin a look that was perfectly described as; 'I told you we would get caught.' Seokjin frowned at that. "We were close, okay?" He pointed his popsicle at the student. Then the unthinkable happened. The popsicle fell to the ground. Both of them stared blankly at it and Seokjin thought it described the situation right now. It was all melting away.

You looked at Yoongi to still see him wearing that frown on his face. In your efforts to cheer him up, you stopped which made the male pause. As soon as he turned around, you poked his forehead. Like snow melting underneath the sun, his angry expression disappeared and now a confused one took its place. You smiled, seeing that it was gone. "Now you aren't so grumpy."

Yoongi could feel his cheeks flush and he knew that you actually caught it this time.

"Aw, are you blushing?" You teased him with a smile on your face.

"No." He purposely turned his head away from you.

But you kept the smile on your face as you tried to follow his face. "I think you're lying to me." You said and was a bit startled to see him whip his head fast. Because you tried to follow, his face was inches away from yours.

"I'm not." He stated, eyebrows furrowing but it made him look adorable! You thought it was mostly due to the pink tone in his cheeks. Yeah, that's probably why you thought it was adorable.

"Whatever you say, Pool Fish." You sort of dragged the name into a sing-song voice.

At last, you tugged your hand free from his, kind of regretting it, once your eyes caught sight of the stand where Seokjin must have gotten his popsicle from. "Want anything? I'm buying."

"Just a plain cone." He said, watching as you went off to the stand. Once when you were gone, he wondered what to do with the weird duo and their obsession of wanting to hook up with you. But why wasn't he denying it?

"To a club?" You questioned Seulgi who was on the phone. You were currently making dinner for yourself on this lovely Thursday evening.

"Yeah." She responded. "Remember her? It's her birthday tomorrow and would like for us to go out tomorrow. Says she wants to forget her stressful job for the night."

You paused, trying to remember the name of the said person. Nothing came to mind and now you started to feel bad. Seulgi felt the pause went on for more than usual. "You don't remember, do you?"

"Y-Yes!" You hurriedly tried to rack your brain but you were coming up useless.

"I knew it." You could almost feel that she rolled her eyes. "Well, she was in a few of our classes back in college. I'm wondering how you even passed biology."

Now it rang a bell! And you could already feel guilt take over you. How could you even forget. "Oh! She helped me pass that class!" You could remember when you were a freshman in college and you took a seat next to her. You were really nervous that day but with her bright personality, you became comfortable. She was in a few of your classes and Seulgi's as well. Even so, your friend group included her. After college, she moved to a different city. You haven't heard from her since, maybe just the occasional hello here and there.

"I'm glad you remember, you goldfish." Seulgi joked.

"I feel attacked." You kept an eye on the stew meat you were currently cooking. "When are we going out?"

"Tomorrow night." Seulgi responded. "I'll pick you up around seven if that's okay."

Hm tomorrow was Friday night. You'll let your partner in crime know that you won't be there tomorrow. "Alright sounds fun." You accepted. It'll be fun to change up the scenery and you haven't hung out with Seulgi in awhile.

"Alright. I'll be here." You flipped over the meat, making sure it was a perfect texture all around.

"Well, I sure hope so."

The music was at a semi decent volume (probably because it barely opened half an hour ago) and the low lights were a perfect setting for the club. You blindly followed your friend, searching for Beatriz. At last you two found her at a booth. Exitecedly, you two almost ran up to her.

Her green eyes widened in surprise but then a smile took over her face. "Here are my two favorite people."

"It's been so long!" Seulgi cried out.

"It has." She said sheepishly and tucked back a lock of her dark blue hair. In the light, a ring caught the sparkle.

"You're married?!" Seulgi almost screeched. She beat you to the punch.

Beatriz blinked and smiled brightly. "Going to be married." She corrected.

"Who's the lucky person?" You asked, wanting her to spill some details. 

"Just someone I love. Hopefully, she can meet you guys soon!" Beatriz awkwardly smiled. "She's at a meeting but she said that she can try to come by."

The three of you sat down and Beatriz scooted the tray of shots over to you. "I'm so glad that you guys are here."

"We are too." You smiled, reflecting on some of the crazy nights of college. You took a shot and drank it all in one go.

You could feel both of them look at you in amazement. "Have you been spending too much time at the bar?" Seulgi questioned.

"Bar?" Beatriz repeated, trying to figure out what she meant.

A smirk came onto your face. "Yeah, there's a Pool Shark there." You happily grinned and at once, you could see her green eyes sparkle in amusement.

"That's my student. Make their pockets hurt?" Now she smiled and she looked excited.

"Of course." You immediately thought of the first time you played Yoongi. "My teacher taught me everything I know." After all, Beatriz taught you how to play pool.
