I don't know what this feeling is
Perhaps I'm also in a dream

Jungkook pov

Jungkook looked guilty as he bit the inside of his cheek. What the hell caused him to reveal that specific detail? Jimin jumped from his seat, both hands grabbing his mouth. Omg! This is epic.

Taehyung's eyes were wider than a fake ufo's. Say what?

"You...you relished life's guilty pleasures...my my...our little man-child grew into a man!"

Jimin roared with laughter as he messed up Kookie's hair. Taehyung was still stunned to silence. This was by far Kookie's deepest secret. Jungkook swatted his hand away from his hair. It's not a big deal! Jeez.

Taehyung shook his head, "You lost your innocence with your "first love"Woah woah! Why are we getting the inside scoop right now... You kept this secret for almost three months."

He was astounded. Their little maknae...!! If the Hyungs find out...he'll be roasted for life.

Jungkook nods and smiles "I was hesitant to tell you. Look at how you're reacting right now! Zen
....she made my head spin, Hyungs...she is mesmerizing "His eyes appear to glaze over as he thinks about her.

Jimin grins lightheartedly as he recalls the two's encounter "Taehyung....that girl is very...very famous. You saw her at our concert. She is stunning. It was hilarious to see how flustered and jealous Kookie was. She understands how to deal with 'her favorite cookie in the jar.'"

"Don't exaggerate...I was just happy to see her," Jungkook scoffs as he sips his last cocktail. "She just gets me...we're very at ease in each other's company. And it wasn't something we had planned. The timing was perfect."

"So you both cheated on your partners," Taehyung chuckled.

Jungkook raised his brows in protest, saying, "No, Lisa and I took a break, remember? She had some quality time with her soulmate. I was devastated when she expressed an interest in getting to know him better. So I ended things with her. She, on the other hand, did not want me to leave her. Then he was killed. Ms Fabulous was unofficially dating the Footballer until she got to meet her soulmate, so she wasn't dating at the time. So everything was fair in love and war. We never cheated on anyone." Jungkook grimaced.

Jimins' expression changed to one of concern, "How do you really feel about her now?Did she find her soulmate? I recall you saying she must still be celebrating her 21st birthday."

"No, she hasn't met him yet," Jungkook exhales deeply". That night, we confessed our feelings...but only because we agreed not to bring it up again because both of us were in -between dating other people," he looked conflicted, "I'm...in love with her, but I still have feelings for Lisa. It's so complicated that I'm at a loss for words, Hyungs...how do you choose between two girls?" his big doe eyes suddenly sadden. Lisa keeps calling him, and Nancy wants him to hang out with her. She planned a party at a nearby club, but Bangpd and his parents were against it after Lisa from Blackpink's shocking exposure a few weeks ago.

He would rather obey the authority. He doesn't always listen to them, particularly his Hyungs.

When Jungkook covered his head with his palms, his voice cracked slightly "When management told me to break up with Lisa, I could easily do so because we both knew we weren't soulmates, but...but why can't I handle Zens' s' involvement with Jimmy? I don't want her to be with him....guys. I know I'm unreasonable because I decided to date Lisa again after we met up. But I'm concerned about my Ms. Fabulous. I'm not sure why? ...but I'm afraid she'll meet her soulmate and...gosh, I sound pathetic!" He grows and slumps back in his chair.

"You're not pathetic," Jimin says with a nod. "You were emotionally invested in her. Kookie, you slept with the girl. Obviously, you will develop stronger feelings for her. We taught you had forgotten about her after you secretly start dating Lisa...but why didn't you get a moral code summons?" Jimin was perplexed. He also didn't receive a summons while with his "Red."

"She was unmarked, and the system perceives our involvement as puppy love...but it didn't feel like '' puppy love 'to me," Jungkook shrugged.

"Or she might turn out to be your true soulmate," Taehyung said, puzzled. "Did you consider it? Remember when we went to the mall, I believe in Indonesia, and you saw her on the cover of CosmoGirl magazine and you said you felt something strange inside of you when you looked into her eyes. Maybe it was the first awareness of the soulmate bond."

Jungkook sighs deeply "I have no idea. It's difficult to depict because we already liked and knew each other, or if it's the awareness, I'm not sure. To truly tell, we must meet face to face. We talk now and then, but I'm afraid to talk to her because I might confess that I love her...but she's dating that Jimmy...and he's a total clingy monkey like our Hyung. If she had to meet her soulmate, I doubt he'd let her go free...and I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with him touching her the way I did." He made a cute scrunching of his nose.

His Hyungs simply snicker because they know their maknae is jealous of the guy Ms. Fabulous is dating. Jimin collected all of the magazines' covers featuring his 'girl.' Jungkook couldn't take his eyes off her. She was gaining popularity by the day.

"You kept this secret hidden for so long, jeez," Taehyung snickers.

Jungkook warned each of his Hyungs, "Promise... you are not going to tell the elder Hyungs. They'd want to know every detail of my experience."

"We told you we wouldn't, didn't we?" Jimin smirked. "Unless you--" he wiggled his eyes at Teahyung.

Taehyung smirked as he observed Jimin plotting.

"Oh no, no, no!"Jungkook jumped up, waving his finger at the two smirking Hyungs, "--I'm not going to pay the price of a human liver...for some way too expensive items you guys want... With the two of you, I'm going to be the poorest Bangtan member."

"Oh, come on... " Jimin smiled. "We're not going to make you pay for keeping a secret. We're not that cunning."

"Oh, really? I had to buy your silence with expensive island vacations and designer sweaters... it's not fair, guys." The doe eyes of Jungkooks are wary. His Hyungs enjoy bullying him. He despises being the maknae in Bangtan and in his own family.

"It was only once, Kooks! And we promise not to reveal your secret to the Hyungs. Seokjin and Namjoon will kill you if they find out you've tasted paradise." Tae Hyung burst out laughing as Jungkook blushed in embarrassment.

"If Jin-Hyung discovers you popped the cherry without informing him, he will almost certainly murder you and refuse to feed you. You are aware of our pink princess's desire to learn everything he can about his little baby bunny." Taehyung laughs heartily.

"So, how was your first experience?" Jimin smirks and waggles his brows suggestively.

"No way! I'm not going to tell you that little detail. Did I ask you about the three times you've had a taste of heaven in Sydney? I didn't. Did I? You only informed Tae hyung, not me. Even Tae hyung didn't tell me about his coming of age with Yunru in Hawaii...so forget it." Jungkook rants as he gets out of his chair.

"Oh, our little maknae...can't you just tell us where this auspicious event occurred, then?" Jimin chuckles as he hugs him from behind. He pleads with Maknae, who has a red face.

"No, you'll tease me," Jungkook said dismissively, waving his hand. He is suspicious of the soulmate twins. Vmin can easily betray you. He saw it several times during the Runbts shows.

Tae hyung smiled broadly, "I can tell you about my nights with Yunru... if you want to know every single detail."

Jungkooks' eyes widen in surprise "Ew! Just watching you two make out in secluded corners has already ruined my innocence for years." In disgust, he scrunched up his cute nose.

Jimin and Tae hyung burst out laughing as they high-fived each other.

" What about Hobi and Akira...when you walked in on them in his and Seokjin's interconnected suite... That was sick! Hobi almost killed you." 'Jimins 'were filled with mirth as he reflected on that fateful day in the RITZ Carlton hotel in Manhattan during their 'Love yourself tour' in the City field.

Taehyung chuckled and clapped his hands as Jungkook grabbed small cushions and hit the two hyungs with force. They were laughing and running around the pool area.

"Ugh, Kookie! How could Seokjin have known that Hobi went to his room to 'unwind'?" Tae hyung pleaded. Jungkook's pillow hits are lethal. This maknae is extremely powerful.

He even hits Jimin hard. Jimin was giggling as he attempted to block the blows.

Jungkook pursed his lips as he pounced on them with meaning "You...Chimmy! told Jhope that I saw him loving his soulmate! It was so embarrassing being dragged out of the restaurant by my ears. You've seen how an enraged Hobi reacts!" He collapsed exhausted on the sofa.

The two hyung couldn't stop laughing.

It was extremely amusing. How Hobi grabbed Kookie by the ears. Kookie was squealing like a piglet. They haven't laughed this hard in a long time.

Jimin grinned, "How many times must I apologize for my foolish mistake? Yoongi knew but he let you go to the room to get the power bank. We wanted to warn you but you were already gone...and Seokjin said we must leave you deal with it."

"Seokjin-hyung felt bad that he sent you. There was just a miscommunication.Hobi told Yoongi, but not Seokjin.We didn't deliberately send you into the lions' den....believe me" Taehyung sniggered but tried to explain the unfortunate event that played off last year. Poor Kookie was shocked to the core, walking in on Hobi in bed with his soulmate. Hobi wasn't impressed when he found out.

"Hmph, yeah right. You wanted to play a joke on me. Hobi didn't talk to me for a week...he even advised Akira not to treat my ankle injury in London and Do-yun noona did it for me. Jeez, I missed Kira's healing hands." Jungkook grumbled sourly.

"We're all sorry, Kooks! You know how protective Hobi is about Akira's security," Jimin responded.

"Alright then...forget this stupid conversation. Let's just go and play some pool, at least I can still beat you guys at a game...and this time the winner gets 50,000 won." Jungkook smirked because when he and Ms. Fabulous were in the US, they always played some pool at a nearby diner.

Taehyung chuckles, "You're all set. Make it 500 000 won per person. Kookie has become overly confident lately." He jumped up from his chair and stretched himself.

Jungkook smiled "You may proceed. Just don't pick on me when you lose, because you will."

"I can also play a little...my Appa loves to play with me...so I'm not an amateur," Jimin says brightly.

As they walked to the game room, Jungkook shrugged "Don't pretend I didn't warn you..."

"I'll have 100,000 won in my spending account." He smirks as Hyung exudes confidence. They must be aware that he never loses a game. He is a fierce competitor.

They walked downstairs to the game room, teasing and laughing as they went. Pop art images were used to decorate the game room. They had to compete against each other, and the winner took it all.

The tension was palpable as Jungkook annihilated each game. Taehyung was the first to be defeated, and Jimin took his place in the finals.

Taehyung was tasked with bringing drinks to the players. He wasn't bothered because he was resting and texting Yunru "His Funsize." His brothers could tell he was in another world with his girl because of his goofy smile. She is in Beijing to see her parents.

Jungkook won all of his games, and Jimin and Tae hyung were not impressed by the cocky maknae. They were all required to transfer their losses into the maknaes account.

"Nice doing business with you...hyungs," he smirks as the two grumpy Hyungs just pout.

"It was just pure dumb luck!" Jimin raised an eyebrow.

Jungkook chuckled, "If you say so, Mr. Sore Loser...we can order food for tonight." I don't want to help cook today."

Taehyung looked up and smiled broadly, "I believe you can order on your account." You can treat us to a meal."

Jungkook snorted, "Yeah right...my winnings are mine.Allow it to grow in interest. Jimin is our host; he can feed us."

Jimin simply shook his head, "Okay, only for today. So let us enjoy our day together because I believe the Hyungs will arrive tomorrow."

Taehyung sighs deeply "They're going to be such a nuisance. Why did Bandpd say we had to talk about everything that was affecting us and our lives? They just want to know strange things."

Jungkook smirked, "I won't tell them anything. My secrets are mine. And you should make certain that no one is aware of Zen for NY."

.Jimin bursts out laughing "Oh my goodness, Kookie...that would be a fantastic conversation starter. We'll draw their attention away from us."

Jungkook mutters, "Oh no, guys!!! That I told you in confidence. Seokjin-Hyung will murder me. He was supposed to be the first to find out about my transition into manhood. Please don't tell anyone about me..."

Jimin smirked conspiratorially with Taehyung, "It will cost you..."

Jungkook sighs defeatedly and raises his brows "Oh well...Jeeze, I'll pay for the takeout. You guys don't play by the rules--"

The hyungs simply laugh as they make their way to the lounge area. After everyone yelled their preferences, Jungkook was on his phone ordering their favorite takeout..

They enjoy lovely maknae fellowship, taking walks and jogs on the beach, working out together in Jimin' mini gym, and eating a lot of food.

The hyungs will arrive soon and form a band.

The next morning

Jimin received a notification on his phone, "The Hyungs arrived. Let's go meet them. I'm glad they're safe."

"Oh no! Hobi is going to let us clean the entire house. Let's go check the kitchen for cleanliness. You're aware of the rule. 'Dirty kitchen=doing dishes' for the weekend, and I despise doing dishes." Jungkook dashes to the kitchen to quickly tidy up. He and Taehyung were like bullets in the kitchen.

Discarding all takeout containers that Jimins' mother had left with food and what they had ordered the day before. Jungkook was wiping down the counters and Taehyung was quickly mopping the floor, while Jimin went down to meet the Hyungs in the driveway as a good host.

The Hyungs were filled with laughter. They appeared to have had a good time on the yacht. They seemed to be at ease and in good spirits. Jin-hyung brought large pieces of fish and plenty of snacks for their fish BBQ. Bangtan certainly enjoys hosting private parties.

When Jimin met them, there was a lot of hollering outside. Suga was carrying extra grocery packets. They'll be staying for two days before continuing on with their world tour.

They all entered Jimin's beach condo's grand foyer.

Jimin showed them all of the available rooms. He assigned Jin-hyung the main bedroom, and he will share it with Taehyung. The only reason is that the room Tae occupy has a little tv lounge.

Jungkook and Taehyung step in to assist Jin and Hobi-Hyung with the preparation of the fish.

It was great fun to be reunited with the Hyungs and enjoy their brotherly fellowship.
