                    "THE MALL?" Yoongi repeated, slouched against his mattress. Chinsun sat on the end of his bed on her knees, her lips pouted. "Who else is going?" — "Jimin, Eunnie, Joon, and me," she replied, lifting a finger for each individual coming. The Daegu boy lifted his comforter over his shoulder, sighing deeply. He didn't want to get out of bed. He didn't want to leave the warmth and comfort of his preferred dream land. Yet, seeing Sunny sitting at the edge of his bed with those damn puppy eyes... he couldn't find it in himself to say no. "God, fine. Let me get dressed." The mattress squeaked under her sudden jump as she launched herself onto the boy. He gasped under her weight, her arms wrapping around him. "Thank you," she giggled, squeezing him before pushing herself off. "Get dressed."

Yoongi watched as Sunny skipped out of his room, the door closing behind her, before he let out a loud groan. In the living room sat Jimin and Eunjeong, both on the couch and looking at their phones. Namjoon stood in the kitchen, bent over, looking through the refrigerator. All of them were dressed in pretty baggy clothes, a hat covering Joon's hair and a beanie slipped over Jimin's. Sunny's hair was tied back into a ponytail, a baseball cap over her head. She sauntered into the kitchen quietly, peeking over Namjoon before she decided to trap him in her arms. She stood on her toes and wrapped her arms around his waist, sending the boy stumbling. She giggled at his reaction. "You scared me," he breathed, turning in her arms. Once facing her, he wrapped his own arms around her small frame with a grin. "Did he say yes?"

          "Mmmhm," she hummed. Sunny bounced onto her toes and pressed a sweet kiss to the boy's dimple. "It'll be fun. We'll go, buy things we need, eat some food." Namjoon tightened his grip around her, bringing her chest against his. "As long as I'm with you, it's already perfect." He ducked his head, his nose brushing hers. Before he could kiss her, though, Jimin shouted. "Yah! There are children present!" His voice cracked upon reaching the last part, causing the two in the kitchen to laugh. "Did you just call your girlfriend a child?" Sunny asked her twin, raising her neatly plucked eyebrows in surprise. "N–No!" he argued as his face gained color. Eunnie slapped at her boyfriend's thigh, stifling her own laughter. "Gross, Chim!"

Just as their laughter began to escalate, Min Yoongi left his bedroom. He wore a shirt all too familiar, his black bucket hat on his head, with black shorts on. Sunny didn't comment on his attire, knowing good and well that he would fuss and bail on their plans. "Let's go!" she cheered, grabbing Yoongi's shoulder once he was close enough. He groaned audibly at the action. But her arms felt good around him, but he would never admit that. He enjoyed being with his best friend. "Off your butts, you two!" Jimin stood first, stretching his arms over his head. Eunnie followed with a yawn. It was around noon, but they had been stuffed inside the dorms. Boredom had brought a fatigue upon the group, to everyone but the cheerful Park Chinsun.

They left the dorm, the girl walking between Yoongi and Namjoon, her hands clasped within theirs. Her steps were bouncy as she pulled the men to the car waiting for them. Namjoon couldn't fight the smile off of his face. She was back, fully and better than ever. He crawled into the seat beside her, their knees brushing. "I'm a fifth wheel," Yoongi voiced upon noticing his lack of a partner. Sunny pinched his thigh. "Awe, Yoonie. You're the most special one here." — "Damn straight. It's about time someone realized that." He patted her leg, his expression too serious. The group couldn't help but laugh. "Thank you for coming with us." He glanced toward the orange haired girl. He could never say no to her. "Oh, shut up," he laughed. She, along with Hoseok, felt like his missing puzzle pieces. He was just glad she was back.

Yoongi groaned for the millionth time as the girls dragged the boys through the mall. A slight chuckle left the younger Park twin, who lead the escapade through the building. Her eyes scanned the multiple shops, bags hanging from her arms, hitting against her waist. Though they wouldn't complain, Namjoon and Jimin were growing tired and hungry. Eunnie pointed toward a shop excitedly, tapping away at Sunny's arm. "One more shop and we'll leave," Sunny told the eldest of the group with a beaming smile. Just as her words left her mouth, a tall and lean figure seemed to slow to a stop near them, two others glancing at him in shock.

"Park Chinsun?" he called out. Sunny's body immediately ran cold at the familiar voice. She hadn't even noticed she had stopped dead in her tracks until Yoongi walked straight into her, his chest meeting her back. Her eyes traveled over the length of his legs and torso until they met the cold, brown eyes or Wen Junhui. Her face warmed up in recognization. Her wide eyes were filled with a sudden fear that she had never felt before. She was trapped in her spot. "What—" Yoongi's words were cut short the moment he spotted the Chinese idol across from him, his stance demeaning. "Great," he grumbled under his breath.

"What a surprise," he cooed in a dark tone. Finally, everyone noticed the male, next to him standing two of his group members, Kim Mingyu and Vernon. Sunny's hands trembled at the sight of him, her bags shaking in her grip. "Get out of here. No one wants to speak with you," Yoongi growled, his voice husky. Junhui only chuckled, his eyebrows raising in absolute surprise. "Oh? So, now you've got bodyguards, right?" He took a menacing step forward, the girl moving backward in response. She gasped upon bumping into Yoongi once more. Namjoon felt his face grow hot at the sight of her reaction. Junhui's eyes were predatory as they devoured Sunny's small frame. She took another step back, her hand searching for Yoongi's.

"I'm guessing you told them, right? Did you leave out the parts where you would cry out my name..." — "Stop," she breathed out. He smirked upon noticing the color spreading over her cheeks. "Where you'd ask me to stop just to go harder—" A shrill scream pushed out of Sunny's mouth as Yoongi darted around her, throwing his fist into Junhui's face. His head flung to the side upon contact. Pain seared through Yoongi's knuckles. His lip had split, that familiar crimson liquid staining his teeth and dribbling down his chin. "Ah, is he your boyfriend now?" he asked. Sunny fought the urge to ask Yoongi to punch him again. "Pathetic!"

His laughter echoed in her ears like a haunting dream. She wanted so desperately to plug them, willing the noise to vanish, but this was real life. She wasn't lying in her bed; she was standing in front of him. "Figured you would go for one of your brother's friends. You know, since you're such a slut." The word barely rolled off his tongue before Namjoon had lunged. He gripped Junhui by his collar, his fist now repeatedly bashing into the male's face. Frightened tears spilled over Sunny's eyes the moment Junhui's friends began to swarm Namjoon. "Help him!" she cried out, but her words were too slow. Yoongi and Jimin had already leapt into the fight, pushing Mingyu and Vernon away.

Joon was on top, landing blow after blow, Junhui taking it with a nasty laugh. It looked like a scene out of a horror film, the way his eyes sparked with mischief and the color dripping over his skin. "Looks like I struck a nerve, huh?" Junhui's knee slammed into Namjoon's stomach, knocking the tall boy off of him. But he couldn't stop. The angry fire scorching his insides helped tug Namjoon right back over the Chinese idol. "You're a piece of shit, Wen," he hissed, his hands grabbing his shirt collar. Junhui laughed. The scene was getting out of hand. Yoongi had punched Vernon, angrily shoving the boy down as Jimin held back Mingyu. Eunnie was crying, shouting for the four to stop fighting. Sunny felt like she was astral projected out of her body.

"Security!" echoed within the mall, and two security guards began to rush the scene. "Joonie!" Sunny exclaimed as his body went tumbling to the ground, the security guard holding him back and away from a bloodied Junhui. She rushed to his side, along with the rest of their group, and let Yoongi pull him to his feet. "You're," she began, caressing his face. "God, you're insane." Though worry laced her words, she couldn't fight the smile that broke out across her lips. He grabbed her wrist gently, his warm eyes locked in her gaze. "He can't talk about you like that," Namjoon said, breathlessly. He cupped Sunny's cheek, despite the pain in his knuckles. "You're nothing like what he says, okay?" She nodded, letting her tears fall over her cheeks.

He let his fingers tangle within her orange locks, pulling her face toward his. "I want you to be my girlfriend." Her eyes widened at his words, the three surrounding them astonished. "Really?" Yoongi asked as he began pushing the two away from the shouting commencing within the building. "You beat up her ex boyfriend and decide to ask her to be yours right after?" Just as the bright flashes began to blind them, Sunny gripped Namjoon's wrist. "I'd love to," she replied, despite the look of disbelief on her brother and Yoongi's faces. "Congratulations. We need to go," Jimin urged, ushering the new couple toward the exit. Eunjeong was still crying, her hands shakily grabbing onto her boyfriend.

"Does that mean I get to call you my boyfriend now?" Sunny asked as they raced down toward the exit. "Okay, no more talking. Just running!" Yoongi exclaimed. Flashes were growing bigger, the yelling around them escalating. Looks like their shopping day was over.
