-

They all waited for the van to roll by and pick them up.

Glancing over at the two that were talking softly over at one another, Iris found herself to bite down her lower lip unintentionally. Her eyes lingered on Yoongi's hand which was in Racy's.

Lost in her thoughts, she was nudged by you.

Smiling over at the confused couple on the other side of her, she smiled when looking between Jungkook and you. You both wore confuse expressions when glancing over at Yoongi as well, trying to ask Iris what was up but Iris simply shrugged. She lied. She knew exactly what had gone on between the two.

"I uh, I've got to pee," Iris whispered down at you.

Trying to question her to stop, you saw right through her. "Iris, li-" she moved away before you could finish. Sighing, you moved to go and follow her but Jungkook stopped you.

You glanced over at Racy and Yoongi who seemed to watch her leave as well. Yoongi simply had his eyes open over at the parking lot, trying to see if the vehicle was rolling by yet.

Racy's eyes were soft. Having them meet yours, you were trying to look away but couldn't.

She smiled painfully over at you.

You took a while. You smiled tightly back at her. You finally managed to force a smile on your face over at the girl you once called your sister.

Your heart ached at the very memory of how fast your relationship with her went to the depths of satan's asshole...

"You alright?"

You snapped your head in Jungkook's direction.

Eyeing his concerned expression, you smiled lightly. Nodding, you could feel his hand at your back again. In awe of how you had grown so close to him throughout all of it, you sighed, Life's changed so fast...

You weren't complaining though. It just all seemed to different. You had two friends that weren't Racy now. You had Shawn and Iris. They loved you. Iris would continuously sing it out to you while Shawn would rarely. But underneath it all, you knew they genuinely did. The fact that if Racy hadn't towed around with you and your feelings, you would have never have gotten so familiar with them.

If she hadn't towed around with you, hurt you, arranged Jungkook and you to go on the blind date months ago...you wouldn't be here in Jungkook's arms in the first place.

In weird ways, you wanted to thank her.

You wanted to thank her all while slapping her. She hurt you. She demolished what you two used to have.

You used to be inseparable.

.

You smiled lightly before taking in a shaky little breath of air. "It's just different with her, we've grown up with one another...without her I'm just the weird orphan girl that went batshit crazy after losing her entire family."

"Like weird sisters," he popped and you sighed.

"We're dysfunctional."

"Yup."

.

Your eyes stung.

Moving unknowingly closer to Jungkook, he hugged your form into his a bit. He was clearly worried about what thoughts you were juggling around with.

Racy's hand slipped away from Yoongi's for a moment.

He asked her if she was alright and she nodded over at him. It was still so hard to get used to him being so gentle and sweet with her. Remembering all they had talked about on the dance floor and what they were deciding on doing now, she sighed before looking over at you again.

She pursed her lips a bit before moving towards the doors again.

Jungkook's eyes spoke confusion when watching Racy move away.

"Where you going?"

"To Iris," Racy said softly.

She noticed the panic in your eyes and her hurt tore. Racy hated that you couldn't trust her like how you used to. She has all the right not to...

"It's okay," she reassured sweetly.

Your form was tense against Jungkook's.

"I know it's asking for a lot," she said slowly, smiling as she moved towards the door, "but just trust me on this one."

Your tongue moved unnaturally within your mouth as you bit at your cheeks harshly.

The feeling of Jungkook's hands rub gently at your hips was the only thing that was able to sooth your uptight form in that moment.

-

"Sorry, I just had to hear your voice," she sighed out and tried not to roll her eyes over what the boy said next.

"That's interesting," he slyly let out. She could hear the grin from his tone of voice, "never knew you had the ability to miss me."

"Don't make me regret calling you," Iris said laughing softly as she looked over at the four walls of the stall that surrounded her.

This was pathetic.

"Sorry that you've got to be in the stall without me beautiful," he cooed and Iris was close to hanging up.

He laughed.

"Alright, alright," he piped defeated, "No more insensitive sexual jokes."

"Thank you," Iris said giggling. She wouldn't admit it to him, but she actually kind of missed his humour.

"Shawn?"

"Hm?"

"I really miss you," Iris softly let out. It was hard for her to say and he knew.

Iris didn't know why but she felt her nose start to run a bit, her eyelids blinking fast in attempts to not cry.

He was quiet, listening to her collect herself.

"I miss you too," he said softly.

Iris laughed painfully at that, rolling her eyes at her eyes watering before she quickly wiped underneath her eyes, waving at her face.

"I'm being random and weird, sorry," she apologized. This wasn't what they usually talked about. They weren't open like this. Past the sex jokes and the virginity teasing, Shawn and Iris were rarely sentimental.

"Sometimes it's okay to be, don't worry babe."

Iris's brows furrowed slightly over at the soft tone coming from the boy. She however, was too distracted to focus on it as she wiped below her eyes a bit more.

The worst part about all of it was that she didn't understand why she had the sudden urge to cry profusely.

"How's your mom?" Iris asked, changing the subject.

Shawn seemed to fumble with his words at first. Almost as if he was taken aback from his sudden gentle responses as well. Again, he was only like this with you, never with Iris.

Both were awkward.

"Oh," he piped laughing nervously, "yeah, Mah, well you know how brown mom's can get. It wasn't pretty when she walked in on Jimin and I-"

"Jimin?" Iris asked slightly shocked, "Like BTS Ji-"

"NO!" Shawn quickly corrected, "the chick from school. N-Not the Kpop guy."

"You don't seem so sure about that," Iris teased and Shawn mumbled something she couldn't quite put together.

"Well even if he-"

Iris stopped talking in the stall when the door to the restroom suddenly opened.

Shawn laughed at her suddenly so quiet.

"Ah, not alone now huh?" he asked and Iris shushed him.

"Why you shushing me? I'm on the phone, no one's gonna hear me," he laughed when she simply shushed him again.

Rolling his eyes, he tried to talk but Iris was too busy in trying to remain quiet until the woman who now entered the bathroom either went into a stall or exited. Planning her route out into the lobby again, Iris barely noticed the boy questioning her some more over the phone.

"Iris, you continue being weird alright? I've got to go my mom woke up," he tiredly let out.

Iris wanted to swear as she quietly mumbled into the phone.

"I'm sorry," he lamely popped out, "but she's going to start yelling in Tamil if I don't get my ass up."

"But-"

"Bye!" he sang out before cutting Iris off.

"Shawn," Iris whined as she stared down at her phone.

"Iris?"

Iris suddenly felt the need to legitimately use the bathroom.

"Racy?" she asked shocked.

"Could you come out? I've got to talk to you," Racy said slowly, confused over whether or not the woman was even using the bathroom or not.

Iris moved to slowly open at the bathroom door, popping her head out through the crack, her eyes met Racy who studied her form awkwardly.

Trying not to trip over herself as she had leaned onto the unstable stall door more than intended, Iris caught herself as she pushed her glasses onto her nose, crossing her arms around her chest.

Even Racy couldn't help but smile at how cute that was.

"What did you need?"

"I needed to talk about Yoongi," Racy sighed out and Iris's arms slowly fell from her chest.

Iris nodded, eyes soft when meeting the woman she had attacked a day ago.

"He told you he was confused didn't he?"

Racy nodded.

"He wants to move on but can't with me around," Racy lightly admitted, "he's confused because no matter how far I get I'm always lingering, I-"

"He should learn to move on with you present around him," Iris tried and Racy shook her head.

"Not with what he's dealing with right now," Racy said slowly, "not with the mixed emotions coming from him now...it's absurd actually- here I was, dying to have him love me back and now that it's finally almost reality I feel bad for him."

"Why?" Iris asked curious.

She was still on edge over thinking the woman would attack her any minute now that they were alone.

"He deserves better," Racy sighed out, her hand lamely going through her hair.

-

You couldn't help but want to keep your eyes on Racy and Iris.

Both were quiet once having joined the other three in the van.

Wondering what they could have possibly been talking about for the time taken to wait for them in the vehicle, you tried your hardest to distract yourself.

Iris noticed you curious and smiled reassuringly at you.

You were still feeling upset internally, your insides curling over.

Getting to the room's didn't help either. Iris and Racy were whispering over at each other almost throughout the entire walk to their floors.

Even Yoongi and Jungkook had grown to be confused.

Jungkook however remained tired.

Practically dragging you towards the room, Jungkook's eyes met Iris who nodded over at him sweetly.

Jungkook smiled, nodding back before having his arms move around your waist.

"Don't you dare pull me in I have to talk to Iris, I-"

His hand moved over yours and you muffled out angry words into his palm as he said goodnight to everyone before pulling you towards the room which originally belonged to Iris and you.

You tried to view exactly where the other's were heading off to sleep, you couldn't help but wonder if Yoongi and Iris were going to crash together again or not. Worried for your friend, and curious over if she was going to be kicked out to Racy's room instead, millions of questions blared through your mind.

Jungkook pulled you inside the room. You shoved him away irritated.

He smiled.

"I've got to talk to Iris, it's been a weird night and-"

Trying to move away from him and towards the doors again, you tried not to let out a frustrated moan when he hugged you from behind.

"Jungkook," you whined and he moved backwards, your hands flailing in attempts to reach for the door.

"I'm tired and you're angry," he chimed laughing.

"Talk to her with a cool mind tomorrow," Jungkook suggested as he squeezed your form in his arms in hopes to calm you down a little. "You need to calm down a little with a bit of sleep," he sighed out as he kissed your cheek lightly.

"I am calm!" you yelled softly, "I am perfectly fine!"

Jungkook laughed, rolling his eyes before practically pulling you towards the bed.

"Here, why not just your anger for something else?" he asked wiggling his brows at you playfully, "It's kinda sexy."

You glared at him.

He chuckled, pecking your lips before moving away from you when you finally sat on the edge of the bed defeated.

He noticed you pouting over at him and he rolled his eyes before starting to slip out of his dress shirt.

"Not going to work on me tonight beautiful," he piped from the other side of the bed.

Your shoulders sulked a bit as you swore to yourself.
