"Here's the thing about society," Namjoon began, standing on the table. "There's a constant need to fit in, to conform to norms, to socialize with peers. When deprived of social gatherings, a human thinks they have lost worth. But why is it that we rely on other to decide our worth? In this essay, I will-"

"Namjoon, get off the table, you're drunk!" Jin shouted, throwing a pillow at him. Everyone in the frat house picked things up and started throwing at Namjoon. Namjoon jumped off the table, falling.

"Stop! Stop throwing you- ow! Oh my god, Yoongi you just threw a fucking knife at me! I could've died!"

"Damn, I missed," Yoongi said. Hoseok frowned at him. Taehyung lay on the floor, head against the couch, giggling at Namjoon getting shit thrown at him. Taehyung took his shoe off and threw it at Namjoon.

"Taehyung's drunk." Hoseok announced, walking over to him. "That's all for you. Get up." Hoseok said, helping Taehyung up from the floor.

Taehyung grunted. "M'fine." Taehyung slurred. Hoseok wrapped one arm around Taehyung's waist and helped him to his bedroom. "Everyone's drinking."

"You always overdo it." Hoseok said. Taehyung didn't say anything, looking at the ground. He grinned.

"Do you like my socks?" Taehyung asked.

"That's your skin."

"Do you like my skin?"

"Sure." Hoseok said. Hoseok walked Taehyung into his room the boy shared alone. Earlier, he roomed with one of the other frat members who'd now left university. So Taehyung was alone. Hoseok dragged Taehyung to his bed and lay him down.

"What did you do?" Hoseok asked, seeing Taehyung put his hands against his head.

"Pot brownies," Taehyung grumbled lowly, fidgeting around.

Hoseok sighed. "Stupid Yugyeom. I told him not to get that shit. Nevermind. Go to sleep." Hoseok said, pulling a blanket over him. Taehyung instantly pushed it off.

"Thank you. Love you." Taehyung muttered, rolling into a ball. Hoseok ruffled the younger boy's hair and then walked out of the bedroom, closing it behind him.

Taehyung slept for 12 minutes and then got up because he needed to pee. He walked to the washroom and peed for what felt like 7 whole minutes. After he was done, he washed his hands and walked out of the bathroom, and headed towards his bed, but instead took the wrong turn and fell out of his fucking window.

Taehyung fell out of the open window, but only realized when he was middair. He let out a yelp and then fell into the bushes close to the house. Thank god his bedroom wasn't too high up.

Taehyung felt completely sober now after almost having died, and crawled out of the brush with effort, rolling out and into the grass. He climbed up slowly and brushed the pines off himself, grumbling.

Taehyung walked back towards the entrance of the frat house, annoyed. He opened the door and walked in, rubbing his eyes. The boys turned towards the door.

"What the fuck. I put you to bed."

"I fucking fell out the window."

"How the fuck did you do that?"

"I fell! Close the window next time!" Taehyung grumbled, walking to his bedroom, stumbling over stairs. He walked into his bedroom, yawning.

This time, he took his shirt and pants off, leaving him in boxers. Taehyung jumped into bed and then took his phone off charging to check for notifications. He checked if Jungkook unblocked him. To his surprise, Jungkook did.

Jimin stood outside the frat house door, wearing. The lights were off inside. It seemed as if no one was there. It was 8 am in the morning, which was when they were supposed to come to the frat house. Beside Jimin were Soobin and Yeonjun, both nervouse.

"I don't know about this. I've read pretty bad stuff about hazing. Isn't it illegal?" Yeonjun whispered.

Jimin gulped. "I hope they don't make us do something crazy. One of my friends' frats made the new guys suck their dicks. Whoever did it best got to stay." Jimin said.

"I wouldn't mind sucking Jin's dick."

"That's disgusting."

"Mind your own business."

The door opened and Bambam walked out, yawning. Jimin saw him and smiled. "Hey! Can we come in?"

"Girl, I don't know. I gotta do this shit as well. I did it last year." Bambam said, looking annoyed. "I literally live here but anyways," Bambam said, standing beside Jimin.

"So they'll only pick two of us, right?" Yeonjun asked and then looked down. "I hope I get picked. I've always wanted to be in a frat. I think it's a great way to make friends."

"Go join the book club, kid." A voice said, and the boys turned around with wide eyes and saw Jungkook, leaning against the pillar, dressed in all black and a cool leather jacket on top.

Jimin looked at him. "You're the same age as us." Jimin said blankly. Jungkook looked away and towards the house, bored expression on his face.

"What are your strategies to get through today? I'll tell you mind. Anger. I'll fight you guys. One by one, I eliminate my opponents. The last one standing takes the-" Bambam said.

"I have something in mind. How was last year's hazing thingy, by the way?" Jimin asked. Bambam looked at him.

"Bad. Someone died." Bambam said flatly. Jimin's, Yeonjun's, and Soobin's eyes widened. They heard a snicker.

"That's cool." Jungkook said. Jimin looked at him, raising his eyebrow.

"Cool? I don't know if I want to do this anymore! I heard they do really vile stuff, like hit you or bury you in the ground! I've seen Scream Queens, okay?? I'm scared." Jimin said, fumbling with his fingers. Soobin patted his back reassuringly.

"We get it, you're gay." Jungkook cut in. Bambam eyed him questionably. He didn't get the dude. Taehyung said he was really quiet and didn't say much, but now he had a lot to say.

The doors opened slowly, creepingly. No one behind the door. The boys entered fearfully, Jungkook grudgingly, and all paused after stepping into the house which was pitch black, the sound of ghosts whispering coming from sides.

"What the fuck." Yeonjun squeaked, eyes big. Jungkook walked past the scared boys and tried looking for the light switch. Bambam suddenly screamed loudly.

"No! Please!!! No!!!" Bambam shouted, and Jimin screamed when Bambam fell face first to the ground and a figure dressed in all black carried him away by dragging his legs.

"What the fuck?!" Jimin cried. Jungkook looked at where Bambam went off to, with an eyebrow raised. The door of the frat house closed shut, getting locked from the outside. Fear swirled around the house like the overbearing scent of axe body spray in a gym.

"Your death is near." A deep voice bellowed from speakers, and suddenly Yeonjun got lifted up by some guy dressed in all black and taken away. The boy's screams were muffled.

Jimin held onto Soobin, and then felt something wet drip onto his face. Jimin touched his cheek with his finger, swiping the substance off, and then looked at his finger and froze when he saw something red. Suddenly, the lights came on, and somebody's dead body was hanging from the ceiling.

Jimin started screaming, along with Soobin. He covered his face with his hands, screaming and screaming. A lot of screams filled the room, along with shouts of death and the ound of blood splattering. All of the screaming happened for 9 seconds before the lights turned on.

Jungkook, who was earlier by the wall, walked to the middle of the foyer and looked at the body. He blinked. "Yoongi?"

Yoongi, who was literally hung from the ceiling, opened his eyes and looked at Jungkook. Blook poured out of his mouth.

"THEY KILLED YOONGI!" Jimin sreamed. He put his hands down his face, still screaming, and then saw Taehyung standing by the bottom of the staircase. He had something clasped behind his hand, and Jimin was sure he saw a knife handle.

Jimin ran away to hide behind the couch, and Soobin ran to the kitchen. The only person left in the foyer was Jungkook, who was looking up at the body hanging from the ceiling. Jungkook saw Yoongi hanging from what looked like one of those stage props which were used in plays.

"Are you okay?" Jungkook asked. Yoongi blinked.

"My waist hurts." Yoongi muttered. Jungkook hummed.

"Jungkook! Run!!" Jimin squeaked from behind the couch. Jungkook turned to him. "Why? Nothing's going to happen. Don't be a pu-"

"Jungkook!" Taehyung shouted. Jungkook turned to look at him at the staircase. This felt like a fucking action movie. Taehyung walked over to him, eyes darkened. Jimin's eyes widened.

"JUNGKOOK HE HAS A GUN!" Soobin cried. Jungkook looked at the mint haired boy, unfazed, and then saw Taehyung reach out the gun and point it at Jungkook. Before Jungkook could do anything-

A fat stream of water hit his face. Lights turned on around the whole frat house. "WATER FIGHT!" Namjoon yelled, and then it happened.

All the frat house members jumped out from their hiding spots in the house, holding water guns and water balloons. Jungkook got hit with water balloons right in the face, and his jaw dropped slack, eyes closed.

"Survive!" Jin yelled, throwing water balloons at poor Soobin, while the tall boy jumped and ducked. Yeonjun, who got picked up by Jackson, was now getting rampaged with water balloons. Jimin was running around the house, getting sprayed by Hoseok and Namjoon. Jaebum threw a bucket of water at Bambam and then threw a bucket at him.

Jungkook opened his eyes and looked at Taehyung, who was laughing loudly. Jungkook blinked. "Don't you guys do violent stuff? I mean... a water fight?"

"Nah, bro. We're all scaredy cats and we're not going to be mean to some freshmen who wanna join our shit. So we're going to spray you with water instead." Taehyung said, and then sprayed Jungkook in the face with the water gun.

Taehyung smiled brightly as Jungkook stayed completely still. "C'mon, Jungkook. Do something. Don't be such a boring piece of-"

Jungkook started running after Taehyung. Taehyung laughed and ran away, jumping over a couch and turning just in time to spray Jungkook some more. Jungkook grabbed a bucket off Bambam's head and blocked the water with it.

People were slipping and tripping, the numerous boys in the house making a giant ruckus. Yoongi fell from the ceiling to the floor and Jackson slipped over fake blood they'd put on the floor and Jimin did a somersault in mid air and Bambam passed out.

Jungkook grabbed Jackson's water gun which fell from his hands and began spraying Taehyung. Taehyung cursed loudly, his hair getting wet, and sprayed Jungkook back, closing his eyes.

Jungkook walked closer to him, hitting him with small squirts of water. Taehyung shook his head like a dog shaking water off its fur and looked at Jungkook grinning.

"So you can be fun too, huh?" Taehyung said amused.

"Never said I couldn't," Jungkook said, a small smirk on his lips. Taehyung's eyes brightened upon seeing a somewhat smile on the boy's face.

"Didn't seem like the type." Taehyung hummed. Jungkook shrugged, turning around.

"STOP!!" Namjoon yelled loudly. Everyone in the house stopped what they were doing and looked at Namjoon, who was standing on a table. "That's enough for today! Bambam fell asleep like a LOSER so he's eliminated. You snooze, you lose, am I right?" Namjoon laughed.

"Namjoon, he fainted."

"He'll be fine. Now everyone, please head outside for phase 2 of the hazing process." Namjoon said, pointing at the door.

Jungkook grunted lowly, dropping his water gun. Taehyung poked him with his. "Hey. Don't be so mopey. This is fun, isn't it?"

"I guess." Jungkook said, walking outside. Taehyung saw him walk away and sighed to himself. Hoseok walked up to Taehyung, wiping water off his forehead.

"Any luck with that guy? Does he seem right to join this frat?" Hoseok asked. Taehyung looked at Hoseok. He put his hand on the red haired boy's shoulder.

"He does. He's right for it. He just doesn't know it yet." Taehyung winked. Hoseok scoffed at how cheesy his line was. Taehyung kept the water gun on the side and walked out of the house.

Namjoon was holding a completely wet Jimin cridal style. Jimin laughed loudly, trying to get him to put him down. Jin followed the two, and then cleared his throat.

"You're being awfully touchy with the new kid." Jin said with an eyebrow risen. Jimin looked at Jin and then blushed lightly- and Namjoon put him down, snickering.

"What? Shut up, Jin." Namjoon said quickly. Jimin stood beside Namjoon and Jin awkwardly while Namjoon threw his arm around Jin's shoulders.

"Alright!" Mark clapped his hands together.

"For this portion, two games with be played, and from it, one member will be eliminated. Yeonjun, Soobin, Jimin, dude who probably listens to Artic Monkeys and thinks he's alternative- you guys are safe!" Mark said.

"Unnecessary." Jungkook said, piercing his eyes at Mark. "My name is Jungkook."

"He's just teasing, Jungkook." Taehyung said, patting his back with a small smile. Jungkook inched away from Taehyung, but kept quiet.

"Game one!" Jackson said, and then grinned. "The Hug-O-Thon. Don't think it'll be easy, there's intense emphasis placed on the levels of pleasure placed on the hugger and huggee alike." Jackson said.

"This is the gayest frat house ever." Jungkook said.

"Is there a problem with that?" Taehyung asked, looking at him closely. Jungkook looked at him, and then away.

"Soobin is first. Your hugging partner is..." Jackson said, and then took out a chit from a bowl full of pieces of paper. Jackson unravelled the paper, and then grinned. "It's Yoongi."

"Fuck you. Fuck this." Yoongi said quickly, a little bit of fake blood still on his chin. "I'm not hugging that guy."

"Don't be mean..." Soobin said in a small voice, shoulders hunched. Yoongi looked at him, and then groaned, rolling his eyes. Yoongi stepped to the middle of the circle the boys had formed.

"The judges are Namjoon and Jin. They will focus on how hard you hug, how soft you hug, how well you hug, and how much pleasure the huggee receives." Jackson stated.

"This is weird." Yeonjun mumbled. Soobin stepped into the middle of the circle. Jackson gasped when Soobin went behind Yoongi.

"He's going for the back! He's switching it up... let's see what he does next." Jackson said. Soobin wrapped his arms around Yoongi's waist and lifted him off the ground, hugging him tightly. Yoongi kept a straight face, bothered.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Choi Soobin has efficiently LIFTED Min Yoongi off the ground and enveloped him in what looks like a bear hug of sorts... what will happen next can only be left for the judges to decide, and the viewers to see-"

"Jackson stop commenting." Jin said. Jackson shut up. Jin and Namjoon looked and made notes on a notepad. Jungkook blinked.

"Why's everything so serious?" Jungkook asked. Taehyung scoffed, looking at him. "Says you, Mr. Math major." Taehyung said. Jungkook looked at Taehyung.

"I'm not boring." Jungkook said. Taehyung giggled. "You're a little grumpy."

"Done! Next, Yeonjun has to hug... Hoseok." Jackson declared. Yeonjun walked into the circle nervously. Hoseok joined him excitedly. They hugged for 13 minutes!

"Let him go please." Jin begged. Hoseok let Yeonjun go, lips pursed. Next was Jimin.

"Jimin has to hug Jin! Ooh..." Jackson said, overly excited over something rather dumb. Jungkook looked bored, while Taehyung was smiling at how stupidly cute he was.

Jimin looked nervous, but Jin looked at him. "Don't be nervous, kid."

"I'm not a kid." Jimin said, looking up at him.

"King of are." Jin said. Jimin huffed, frowning. "Don't look like one, though." Jimin muttered, before jumping up and wrapped his arms around Jin's neck and legs around Jin's waist.

"Oh." Namjoon let out. Jimin hugged him Koala style, clinging. Jin looked a little taken aback, but put his hands under Jimin's thighs, holding him securely. Jimin looked at him closely.

"Still a kid?" Jimin asked softly. Jin looked up at him, and then smirked gradually. "Guess not," Jin whispered.

"Done. Over. Next hug." Namjoon said quickly, clapping his hands together. "Stop hugging. NOW. Or you're disqualified.

Jimin hurriedly jumped off Jin, rushing to stand behind Taehyung. Taehyung ruffled his hair. "Nice one." Taehyung said, and then looked ahead and saw Namjoon poke Jin's head.

"Next is grunge boy and Taehyung Kim! Ooh, weird pairing." Jackson said, reading off the piece of paper. Jungkook tensed for a second, and then stood at his place.

Taehyung walked into the middle of the circle with ease, and then gestured his hands out, beckoning Jungkook to come over. Jungkook stood at his place, looking away. Taehyung scoffed.

"Are you serious? Just come here and hug me, E-boy." Taehyung said. Jungkook looked at him, and then fixed the rings in his hands, walking over to Taehyung.

"Wannabe bad boy headass." Mark whispered to Jackson. Jungkook looked at Mark, eyebrows furrowed.

"I heard that," Jungkook snapped, and then Taehyung gripped onto Jungkook's arm to hold him back. "You probably listen to The Chainsmokers or some shit."

"And what about it?" Mark retorted. Jackson held Mark back. Jungkook ignored him, and then looked at Taehyung, who was standing there, waiting. Jungkook breathed out.

Jungkook put one hand on Taehyung's waist, not knowing what to do after that. Taehyung looked at him, waiting. Jungkook looked at Taehyung, and then quickly wrapped his arms around Taehyung's waist.

"See. Great. Now just-" Taehyung began. Jungkook instantly retracted from Taehyung and moved away.

"That's all. That's my hug. Bye." Jungkook said, turning around to walk away. Everyone frowned, confused as to why the boy was being so weird.

Taehyung grabbed Jungkook's hand and pulled him back.

"That's all you've got?" Taehyung snapped, and then looked at him. "What, you not a hugger or something?"

"Not at all. It's too much body contact. It's weird. I don't even hug my mom." Jungkook said plainly.

"Your poor mother probably wants to hug you, Jungkook. Now fuck off. Do you need me to do this for you? Fucking hopeless," Taehyung snickered, shaking his head. Jungkook kept quiet, looking away. So Taehyung helped.

He put his hands on Jungkook's leather jacket and pulled him in, gripping it tightly. "Hug me." Taehyung said. Jungkook looked at the boy with his damp hair, and then slowly put his arms over Taehyung's shoulder, linking his hands together behind his neck.

"See? Was that so hard?" Taehyung asked softly. Jungkook was looking away. He shook his head lightly.

Taehyung gripped his leather jacket, looking at the black haired boy. "Nice jawline," Taehyung pointed out, words in a whisper so only Jungkook could hear. Jungkook looked at Taehyung, and looked faltered. Taehyung smiled. "I'm a little taller than you, huh?"

"By a quater of an inch or something." Jungkook grumbled lowly.

"Defensive over height, are we? That's okay. You're still hella tall, bro. Don't worry." Taehyung said, and Jungkook looked away, past his shoulder.

"Aaaaand done! That was the most awkward thing I've ever had to witness with my two eyes, and I've seen Jackson having sex," Namjoon scoffed.

"When the fuck did you see me having sex???"

"Don't ask questions. Okay great, so that hug-o-thon is over! Let's prepare for the next event called Social Media Showdown- okay Hoseok, that's the lamest fucking name ever. Why did you name it that?" Namjoon snapped at Hoseok.

"I didn't know what fucking else to call it!" Hoseok shouted.

"Doesn't matter, explain what it is." Jin said. Namjoon looked at the four boys. "Right. So basically you have to post a picture on Instagram and whoever gets the most likes wins. You can only post a picture of yourself."

"That's not fair. What if someone has more followers than others or something?" Jimin asked. Jin laughed.

"Don't worry, you all have the same number of sucky sized followers." Jin said. "Unlike me, of course. I'm Insta famous."

"Okay Seokjin," Jungkook said. Jin looked at him, weirded out. "We can only post a picture of ourselves?"

"Yes. You can't post a meme or something. You have 10 minutes to take a picture or use an old one and get crafty. Go!" Jackson said, clapping his hands together.

______________________________

"Yoongi, what the fuck?" Taehyung asked. Yoongi frowned. "What? I don't have my phone," Yoongi said, and then looked at Hoseok who had his phone. Yoongi ran after him, trying to get his phone back.

"I posted too. Like it, whores. Also, kids! You have 2 minutes left!" Jin calls out.

____________________________

____________________________

"You get some weird as fuck comments, Jin." Taehyung said, looking at his phone.

"Just saw you're jealous..." Jin said, and Taehyung laughed. Namjoon grinned. "Oh look! Yeonjun and Soobin already posted."

The photo the two posted on their accounts were selfies. Yeonjun's caption was cute and pure, but sort of cringey, 'like if you wanna be friends'. It had 19 likes. Oh god.

Soobin on the other hand had captioned 'like if you're under 6 ft tall' and only had 30 likes.

"Funny how none of us liked my post. I know y'all aren't 6ft tall. Short as fuck bitches. DO people under 5'11 deserve rights?" Soobin said, angry.

"Jeez, relax, Soobin. Ah, Jungkook posted," Taehyung said. "Thanks for unblocking me, dude."

______________________________

______________________________

"Why did you bloc me??? Dude, I literally didn't say anything!" Taehyung snapped at Jungkook, who was leaning against a pillar. Jungkook ignored him.

"Also, why did you make your caption something so aggressive? Don't you want more likes?" Hoseok asked.

"I'm not putting some dumb shit to get likes. I already got likes because I'm hotter than you." Jungkook said while looking at his phone.

"Respectable. Oh! Jimin just posted and... yup, he won." Namjoon said, looking at his phone.

______________________________

______________________________

"I won!" Jimin squealed, jumping up and down. Soobin frowned. "That's not fair. He's prostituting himself. This is truly the dark side of fraternities and hazing..." Soobin trailed, looking down.

"Jimin, I liked the post." Jackson said quickly, looking at him. Jimin looked at him. "I deleted it."

"Okay! So, the two games are done. Frat house members, please come to the side to discuss the results." Jin said, and all the fraternity members gathered to the side while the four boys stood on the other side.

"Okay, let's see. Yeonjun's cute and he's fun, but he doesn't have that x factor." Namjoon said. "Soobin is taller than all of us so that'll make us all look short on parties. That said, he really wants to join and he's really sweet. Jimin is perfect for our frat and gets along with everyone quite well. Jungkook..." Namjoon trailed.

"Jungkook's great." Taehyung said, nodding. The guys looked at him unsurely. "He is! C'mon. He's funny! And, y'know, it makes us look unique, because we have different kinds of people within our fraternity." Taehyung nodded.

"I don't know. He doesn't seem that interested. He's been just doing whatever he wants and doesn't really like any of us." Hoseok said. The boys looked at Jungkook. While Soobin, Yeonjun, and Jimin were talking- Jungkook was on the other side on his phone.

Taehyung sighed. "I disagree. I think he does like us. He's just quiet and shy."

"Or he's just arrogant." Yoongi said. "No offense to the dude, but I don't want fights to break out. And that won't happen if we take one of the other three. For example, if we take Yeonjun and Soobin that won't happen-"

"We're taking Jimin." Namjoon said quickly. "Yeah, he's in." Jin added. Yoongi looked at them with confusion for a few seconds, and looked at Taehyung.

"We can always find guys like Soobin or Yeonjun next year, though! Plus, they look so scared and young, I think they'll be better off finding friends some other way. They won't fit in at the parties. Jungkook is different and pretty fucking cool, if you ask me." Taehyung said.

"But Soobin is in my dance class and... he's such a sweetheart." Hoseok pouted.

"Yeah! I picked Yeonjun and I think he's really smart and adorable. And he was so excited when I asked him to try out." Namjoon said.

Taehyung pursed his lips, looking at Jungkook faraway, who was still looking unbothered. "Ugh, fine, pick who you want. Anyone of them would be good." Taehyung said, being optimistic about the situation.

After a little more discussion, Namjoon stood on the staircase while everyone looked up at him. "We've made our decision. Firstly, Jimin Park... Shantay you stay."

Jimin gasped and jumped up in the air, happily rejoicing. "You're not RuPaul's Drag Race. Cut it out. Who else?" Taehyung asked.

Namjoon sighed, looking down. "Okay... I just wanna say... that all of you were amazing and very fun. And it sucks that we have to say goodbye to two of you right now... but difficulties arise in life. And there will always be more opportunities."

"Get to it!" Jin snapped. Namjoon shook, and then spoke. "Right! Yeonjun, Soobin, I'm really sorry, but you guys didn't make it." Namjoon said. Both boys' shoulders instantly dropped, eyes going big, sad, like puppies. "I'm sorry. If we ever need anything or have parties, we'll call-"

"N-no, it's okay. We didn't think cool guys like you would accept us anyway..." Yeonjun said, twiddling with his fingers. "D-don't worry about it. Bye." Yeonjun said in a small voice, before rushing away. Soobin looked at them.

"Thanks for letting me try." Soobin said sadly, before walking away.

"Oh no, I think they're mad at us." Namjoon said, biting his lip. He sighed, but then looked at Jungkook. "That means you're in."

Jungkook blinked. Taehyung looked at him excitedly, happy that his pick got chosen, means he did something right. Jungkook hummed. "Cool."

"Thank you Namjoonie! I'll do my best! I'll help in every way and be fun at parties!" Jimin said, smiling giddily. Hoseok ruffled his hair.

"Are you happy?" Taehyung asked, walking up to Jungkook. Jungkook smiled a little. "Aw, you're smiling! That must mean you're-"

"No, no, I'm not- um- I'm not smiling." Jungkook said, losing his smile. But then he smiled again. "Actually, it's really funny."

"Funny?" Taehyung asked, confused. Jungkook looked at him, smirking just a teensy bit.

"Yeah. This whole frat thing. It's so stupid... this whole morning wasted on this bullshit. Isn't it?" Jungkook said. The boys were confused by listening to him.

"What?" Yoongi asked, not knowing where he was heading. Jungkook shrugged. "Nothing, but... you don't actually think I'm going to join this shit, right?"

Taehyung tensed. He looked at Jungkook with big eyes. All the boys instantly shifted their focus to Taehyung, immensely angry.

"Jungkook. You can't back out." Taehyung snipped.

"Why not?" Jungkook asked, and then took a step back, snickering. "I think it's pretty funny how serious you guys think this shit is. What's going to happen if I say no?"

"What's going to happen is that I'll get trashed by the guys, because I chose you! And it's my fault that poor Soobin and Yeonjun got all sad and didn't get picked! Don't fucking do this, Jungkook. Come on. Let's go inside now, don't be stupid-" Taehyung said, grabbing his wrist.

"Stop touching me." Jungkook muttered, pulling his wrist back. "And nah, I'm good. Rather not join."

"Jungkook..." Taehyung trailed. Jungkook snickered, turning around to walk away. "Why?"

"Just wanted to see you get pissed." Jungkook muttered, running a hand through his hair, and then waving it goodbye and walked away.

Taehyung was rooted still, and turned around slowly, like frozen meat. Namjoon, Jin, Yoongi, Hoseok, and all the other boys were glaring at Taehyung.

"We should've just gone with Soobin. Thanks a lot, Kim." Jackson mumbled, walking into the house, annoyed. Half of the group left like that, grumbling insults to Taehyung under their breaths, following Jackson.

"I'm sorry, guys! I didn't know that would happen!" Taehyung said, nervous. "Look, I'll talk to him again. I'll fix it. Don't worry, I-"

"Stop that, Tae. You keep pushing people, who don't want to interact with you to do so, and then this shit happens. Next time just listen to us. Yeonjun and Soobin won't even want to join anymore, they'll think we're wasting their time again." Namjoon said quietly, and then turned around to walk back in.

"It's not your fault, but it 100% is. Clean the house up." Jin said, and then patted Taehyung's back and walked away. That was the punishment everytime a frat member fucked something up. They had to clean the house.

Jimin gave him a small smile, but walked away, following the rest. Taehyung sighed to himself, covering his face with his hands. Fucking Jeon Jungkook. Dumbass.
