"Dear brothers. We are gathered here to celebrate a new beginning. That being, the start of the new college term. With new beginnings come new endings. Relationships are made, broken, twisted. Our faith lies in one another to stay bonded in this time of uncertainty-"

"Namjoon you're talking like someone fucking died," Jin snapped. Namjoon looked at Jin, who was sitting on the couch. Namjoon glared at him angrily. "I'm the leader of Alpha Kappa Pi, Jin. Let me talk." Namjoon snipped. Alpha Kappa Pi was the fraternity house, the biggest in this university. It consisted of 14 members- well, 14 members before two of them guarded the last term. Now it just had 12.

"Thank you, Namjoon. Great speech." A loud voice came from the stairwell. Everyone in the living room -that is, the current members of the frat house- looked to the doorway of the living room. A min haired boy walked in, wearing a blue varsity jacket, a snapback on his head.

"I didn't say shit," Namjoon grumbled. Taehyung, mint haired boy, ignored him and stepped onto the coffee table, looking at the boys sitting on the couch. He raised his arms.

"Good morning, fellow members of Alpha Kappa Pi," Taehyung said. All the boys muttered a lousy good morning. It was fucking 9 am on a Saturday. They all wanted to be asleep.

"What Namjoon's smart ass is babbling about is that we need new members," Taehyung said, clapping his hands together. Namjoon scoffed, offended. Taehyung continued. "2, to be exact."

"But why. Aren't we fine now?" Hoseok asked, a bandana on his bright red hair, cooped up in the corner of the couch.

"No, we're not. We have a crisis, gentlemen." Namjoon spoke, overly dramatic for no reason, as usual. "We are boring."

The boys gasped. "Boring?? We throw the biggest parties! Everyone comes! Girls love us!"

"Don't include yourself with us. No girl loves you." Jin said to Mark, who looked down sadly.

It was true, though. Alpha Kappa Pi threw the biggest, hottest parties every weekend if they could. It consisted of loud as fuck music, a lot of alcohol, a lot of dancing, and a lot of sex. The parties of Alpha Kappa Pi were hot, and the members were hotter- there was no denying that.

"We need more! Currently, we're just hot guys. We need more hot guys." Namjoon explained. "For example, we need a cute one. We don't have a cute guy in our frat."

"I'm right here," Yoongi said, frowning, sitting on the couch.

"Yoongi you have the cuteness of a turtle with rabies."

"Fuck you Taehyung."

"Taehyung's right. So, we need a cute guy. And, we need a bad boy. The two guys that left our frat- they were cute and bad boy-ish! Now we need new ones. No offense, but all of us are pussies. I heard Hoseok cry yesterday because of the toast popping out of the toaster too fast."

"I-it burned my fingers." Hoseok pouted. Yoongi patted his back, consoling him. Taehyung laughed.

"So basically, we need to find new pledges for this year?" Taehyung asked. Namjoon nodded. Taehyung grinned, hands on his hips. "Awesome. I'll find one. Jin, you find another."

"Why the fuck do I need to do it?" Jin asked, annoyed.

"Please, Jin?" Taehyung asked, looking at him with his big brown eyes. Jin grunted. Taehyung was hard to say no to. "Fine", Jin muttered.

"Great. Let's get on it." Namjoon said, giving Taehyung's back a slap.

"Why are you standing on the table though?" Mark asked. Taehyung smiled. "Asserts my alpha-male superiority."

"Ah, makes sense."

Taehyung jumped off the table and then walked towards the kitchen. Their frat house was large, with seven bedrooms and connected bathrooms, a huge living room with a lot of dancing space, a nice big backyard to hold all their beer pong games, and a lively kitchen with a big bar to keep all the drinks on during parties.

Taehyung opened the fridge and took out orange juice. He poured it into a glass, and then looked and saw Hoseok in the kitchen, looking for food presumably. Taehyung grinned. "Hobi! Do you want some orange juice?"

"Oh- yeah sure," Hoseok said. Taehyung gave him his glass. Hoseok hesitated. "You don't have to give me yours, Tae. I'll take one by myself-"

"Don't worry about it, Hoseok. I'll get one for myself. I know you love orange juice." Taehyung smiled at him and then went to get a glass himself.

Taehyung was like, the nicest person someone could ever meet. He was always smiling, always jumping around, always excited- like a golden retriever. He was endearing and somehow brought a smile on everyone's face. Everyone loved him. He had, like, a thousand friends.

"Ugh, I don't want to do this scouting thing. Taehyung's probably going to find some freshman and they'll drop to his feet. I'm mad." Jin grumbled, leaning on his elbows on the table counter.

"Here's my idea." Jackson, one of the other fraternity members said, while walking into the kitchen. "We don't get boys. We get girls-"

"Jackson, stop being heterosexual and get out of my face." Jin snapped. Jackson nodded hurriedly and ran out, scared.

"I don't get it. Do we need a bad boy? Aren't I enough?" Yoongi said while walking into the kitchen. "I mean, I can be mean. I can be a bad boy. I can be tough. Look at me. I'm Min Yoongi. I'll steal your girl AND man-"

"Yoongi, you have a kitten on your sweater which you got from your grandma! You're not a bad boy!" Hoseok snapped. Yoongi glared at him.

"Ooh don't anger him, Hobi. His short ass will punch your knees." Jin said.

"Fuck you, Jin. Long neck boy." Yoongi retorted.

"Call me that again and I'll flip you upside down."

"Try me, hag." Yoongi said. Then he ran out of the kitchen and Jin ran after him. Taehyung sighed, grinning.

"They're the worst and I love them. How's dance practice going, by the way?" Taehyung asked Hoseok. Hoseok nodded. "Great! The new kids in the class are really passionate, it's adorable."

"Awesome. Freshmen usually are cheery cuties. Y'know, before they realize college actually sucks and excessive alcohol intake is the only way out. I'm kidding! Bye." Taehyung said rapidly, before walking to the exit of the fraternity house.

He walked out and down the marble steps. On top of the house, in big greek letters, was inscribed Alpha Kappa Pi. Taehyung fixed his snapback and went on his way towards the middle of the campus. Hopefully, he'll find someone whose 'bad boy'... or maybe some adorable and cute freshman who wants to be part of the frat house.

Taehyung was 20 years old, he was born and raised in Brooklyn but now lived in New York City for University. He majored in Pyschology and was, well, great at it. Sometimes, people got the wrong idea and thought he was Buzzfeed or some shit and could tell people cryptic things about their personality. He could not. That was a myth.

(He could sometimes, but he rather keep that to himself.)

"Hi Taehyung! Nice jacket," A girl said, walking past him. Taehyung smiled at her. She was a Theatre major, Taehyung's sure.

While walking down the campus, one of the basketball players walked past him. "Ayy, Tae- what's up?" The guy said, Taehyung grinned at him.

"Nothing much, bro. Come join us at the party tomorrow night." Taehyung said. The guy nodded.

This went on throughout his walk down the campus. Everyone knew who Taehyung was.

Everyone loved Taehyung. He was so easy to talk to, such a people's person, as his mother said. Ever since he was young, he could make friends with anyone. Children, old people, adults, dogs, cats. Everyone loved him.

Why would they not? With his mint green hair and tan skin, radiant smile and humorous self. Taehyung was that guy. The guy you wanted to be or wanted to date. Or both.

Taehyung went onto the group chat he shared with some of the boys.

_______________________________

Taehyung giggled at the conversation and then clicked his phone shut, putting it in his back pocket. Taehyung walked into the library. Maybe he'd find someone there? Ugh, no. Probably just nerds. Who came to the library two days before classes even started? On a Saturday morning?? Nonetheless, Taehyung looked around.

"Hi Ms. Yang. You look lovely as usual." Taehyung said to the 60 year old librarian sitting behind her desk. She gave him a warm smile. Taehyung walked past her and sighed in relief because she didn't realize he had like 8 books overdue.

Taehyung saw groups of people sitting around, on laptops, talking and reading, some studying. Taehyung ignored them and went to the second floor. He looked around. He only saw people sitting alone in corners, invested in reading. Some girl had a fat encyclopedia in front of her, but Taehyung saw the smutty book she was hiding behind it. Good for her.

Taehyung ignored them as well and decided to go to the third floor. At this point, he knew he wouldn't find anyone. But it was his curiosity that led him up the stairs. People had sex on the 3rd floor sometimes. Taehyung wanted to see if anyone was, y'know, doing the deed. Only because it was fun.

Taehyung walked onto the 3rd floor and sighed to himself when he saw it empty. No one was there. Taehyung suddenly noticed a manga comic book section in the end and grinned to himself. Cool, he should check it out.

Taehyung walked towards that last shelf and began humming some Drake song to himself. Taehyung found the shelf and began looking for some of the series he liked. One Piece, My Hero Academia or something. Taehyuung skimmed through the titles, and then finally found one in the end shelf. He began walking towards it, but when he looked, he stopped.

There was a boy sitting on the floor, leaning against the shelf, reading a manga. Taehyung's surprised he didn't notice him before.

He was wearing a black t-shirt, tight black jeans, some rings on his fingers which held the manga tightly. His hair was brushed up, and his eyebrows were furrowed, almost looking upset while reading.

"Oh shit," Taehyung said. Had a tendency to say things out loud a lot. Was talkative. "Didn't even see you there, bro. My bad."

The boy glanced up from his manga, blinked, and then averted his attention back to the book.

Taehyung looked at the boy for a little longer. He was wearing a thin silver chain on his neck. He had his ears pierced, helix too. He wore many silver earrings, and-

"Stop looking at me." The boy voiced.

"Sorry," Taehyung grinned, taken aback by the boy's attitude. "I like your earrings."

The boy didn't acknowledge that and continued reading. Taehyung stepped closer to him. "What're you reading?"

The boy very slowly looked up from his book. "A book." The boy said. Taehyung snickered.

"Ah, dry humor. Cute." Taehyung said. The boy looked up again, eyebrow twitching. Taehyung noticed that. "What're your name? I haven't seen you before. Are you a freshman?"

"Has it occurred to you that maybe I came to the 3rd floor so I can be alone?" The boy asked, no anger in his tone, just factuality.

Taehyung looked at him and then grinned. "Nah, I thought you came here to check out the kids fuck behind the shelves. It's weird isn't it? But, y'know each to their own." Taehyung said. He then looked at the boy again. He was ignoring Taehyung completely.

"Dude. Answer me." Taehyung said. The boy looked up, irked.

"I'm a freshman." The boy said flatly.

"Awesome." Taehyung said, and then turned around, hands tucked into his pockets. He took two steps out, and then turned around. "You wouldn't want to join a frat house- would you?"

Without a missing beat, the boy- who was looking at his manga- said "No."

"That was fast." Taehyung muttered. "Okay, let me rephrase that. Do you want friends?"

"No." The boy said again, flipping a page in his book.

Taehyung grunted. Why wasn't he getting cheery by Taehyung's comforting self? Taehyung had so much positive energy, and none of it was getting transfused into this kid. Taehyung eyed the boy for a few more seconds and then hummed.

"Why wouldn't you want friends?" Taehyung asked. The boy looked up, finally.

"I'm fine like this. Leave me alone." The boy said. Taehyung humphed. Well, now he definitely wasn't leaving this kid alone.

"Not until you tell me your name," Taehyung said, arching his eyebrow.

"It's Jungkook. Go away now." The boy, Jungkook said, in a low voice. Taehyung sighed dramatically, turning around.

"Fine. I'll leave." Taehyung said, and then walked away from the shelves. Taehyung grinned when he did, rushing down the stairs.

Taehyung had a way with people. He's sure if he talked to this Jungkook kid a bit more, he'd eventually give in. Plus, the frat really needed some cold bad boy dude. This guy checked all of the tick boxes so far. He wore black for heaven's sake.

Taehyung put his phone away. He had a good feeling about this. Hopefully, it'd work out in his favor. There was something about the boy who was dressed in all black, mumbling only a few words and had a cold expression which allured Taehyung. Most importantly, the fact that he was sitting in the corner of a library reading Sailor Moon manga.

Yeah, Taehyung had a great feeling about this.
