“Hey, are you going to the gathering next weekend?” Yoongi asked.
Seokjin is currently in Yoongi and Hoseok’s shared apartment. He was just over to play Mario Kart with them. Yoongi and Hoseok had been together for 2 years. They moved in together after 6 months of dating and to be honest, Jin is quite jealous of their relationship.
“Um… What gathering?” Seokjin returns Yoongi a question while tilting his head.
“Taehyung and Gukkie’s party. Just the seven of us together again, like old times.” Hoseok answered. “They’re celebrating their 1st anniversary, remember? Didn’t they tell you in the group chat?”
“Oh.. Right, that one. I’m still not sure. Gotta ask Joon first.” Seokjin answered while pressing his control buttons aggressively and eventually winning the game.
“So are you guys together or what?” Hoseok asked.
“I mean.. We hook up every now and then but, I don’t know to be honest. I want us to be together but I don’t know how Joon feels” Seokjin answered while pouting.
Hoseok patted Seokjin’s wide shoulders. “It’s okay. That’s how I felt when I was pining over Yoongi hyung but apparently, he’s been pining over me for longer than I’ve been pining over him, so I think you’re safe hyung.” Hoseok said.
“Hm… I guess. I’ll talk to him later” Seokjin replied “I’m going to have to get going now. I need to cook dinner for Namjoon or else he’s burning the whole apartment complex down. Bye!” Seokjin said while closing the door.
“When is he going to realize that Namjoon is head over heels for him?” Hoseok asked Yoongi
“I don’t know but I don’t think he’s not gonna take long until he realizes that Namjoon is in fact, head over heels for him” Yoongi said, in a matter of factly way.
“Have you been watching Discovery Channel lately? You talk weird now.” Hoseok laughs.
“Hm. How do you know?”
“I mean, when you’re stressed out you watch Discovery Channel and I am in fact, your boyfriend Min Yoongi so I know everything.” Hoseok smirks, teasing him.
“Stop teasing me Jung Hoseok. Or else.” Yoongi threatens.
“Or else what? Huh?” Hoseok smirks.
“You’re not gonna feel your legs for a week.” Yoongi smirks back.

When Seokjin got back at his and Namjoon’s apartment, Namjoon was finishing a project for his class in their living room. Namjoon is majoring in Literature whilst Seokjin is majoring in Acting.
Seokjin and Namjoon had been friends since they were in high school and stuck to each other like glue until now. You could say they were both outcasts.
They’ve been messing around with each other since 2 months ago but Seokjin has always had feelings for Namjoon so it’s very hard for Seokjin right now. They don’t know what they are. Are they friends with benefits or are they together? Seokjin hopes they do end up together because he has been pining on Namjoon since forever.
“What’s up Joon?” Seokjin sits down next to him.
“Nothing. I’m just finishing a project.” Namjoon replied while showing his dimples.
‘I could drink a shot of tequila from those dimples, I swear to god.’ Seokjin thought.
“Oh, okay. What do you want for dinner?” Jin asks.
“Anything. I’m gonna eat anything you make, hyung. Even if it tastes bad I would still eat it, even though I know that would never happen because you are Kim Seokjin and everything about you is perfect.” Namjoon replied.
Seokjin immediately got up and went to the fridge, hiding the blush that is coloring his cheeks. “Oh. Um. Okay Joonie” Seokjiin said, quietly.
“Oh yeah, Joon, I forgot to ask you. Are you coming to Gukkie and Tae’s anniversary party?” Jin asked.
“Of course hyung. They’re technically my sons…”
“That would be incest Joon” Seokjin laughs.
“Right..” Namjoon laughs. “Then, they’re my brothers.” Namjoon shows his dimples again.
“Whatever you say Joon.” Seokjin replied, slowly blushing.
“Let’s just go there together hyung.” Namjoon said.
“Okay.” Seokjin replied, smiling.
♡
“Hyungg~ You’re late again.” Taehyung says while closing the door to his and Jungkook’s apartment.
“Sorry, sorry.” Seokjin smiles sheepishly then hugs Taehyung and Jeongguk with his wide shoulders.
“Congratulations guys! Here’s a gift from Jin and me” Namjoon says while handing over their gift to Taehyung and Jeongguk.
“You didn’t have to” Jeongguk smiles sheepishly while rubbing his neck, getting flushed.
“Jungkookie would look so good in these tonight!” Tae holds up the Gucci handcuffs Namjoon and Seokjin got him and Jeongguk.
“Okay, can we not know who bottoms and who tops in your relationship? Or anything about your sexual life, for that matter?” Jimin says, face looking disgusted but still friendly.
“Sucks to be the only single one here, huh Jimin?” Hoseok says while he pats Jimin’s hair.
“Who said I’m single?” Jimin asks.
“ARE YOU NOT?” Taehyung screams.
“Naah. I’ve been seeing this guy for one month? Two months? I’m not sure.” Jimin answers while grinning.
“Why did you not tell me?” Taehyung pouts.
“I was going to tell all of you tonight actually.” Jimin smiles softly.
“His name is Lee Taemin. He’s a sweetheart. I met him at the dance studio I work at.” Jimin continues while he smiles and starts flushing thinking about him.
“Aaaa! That’s so cute Jimin-ah! I’m proud of you.” Seokjin squishes Jimin’s cheeks in an act to cover his jealousy over their relationship. He really wants Namjoon and himself to be in a relationship just like Jimin’s or any romantic relationship, really, to be honest.
“Wait a minute. I think I know why Namjoon and Jin hyung was late.” Yoongi says while observing Seokjin’s neck.
Jimin chuckles. “Really guys?” Jungkook says.
“What?” Seokjin replied, confused.
Yoongi took a picture of Seokjin’s neck and shows the picture to him. Seokjin flushes and probably looks like a tomato. So did Namjoon.
“So are you guys together? Taehyung asks.
Namjoon laughs, “Of course we’re not. I’m pretty sure Jin hyungs’ standards are higher than someone like me” He said while looking at Seokjin. “Right, Jin hyung?”
“Of course we’re not dating… haha.” Seokjin replied.
“I’m gonna go and get a drink, okay?” Seokjin said while he gets up and goes to the pantry.
He took a can of beer from Taehyung and Jungkook’s fridge and gulps it all down immediately. He may or may not have been heart-broken by what Namjoon just said to their friends earlier. He wants Namjoon and himself to be in a relationship just like Yoongi and Hoseok or Taehyung and Jungkook or like Jimin and Taemin.

“Hey, are you okay? You were acting weird.” Namjoon asked when they got back at their apartment.
“I mean.. Do I look like I’m okay?” Seokjin asked back, aggressively. Okay, maybe that was too aggressive.
“Is it something I said?” Namjoon was getting really confused.
“Okay. You know what? I’m not gonna beat around the bush this time.” He took a deep breath. “I’m in love with you. And yes, you said something very wrong. You keep saying that I only like you in a friend kind of way and you keep saying that you’re way below my standards.”
Namjoon stood there frozen and mouth agape.
"You don't know how I feel so stop making my decisions for me okay? I'm in love with you. I want to be with you but you keep saying..." he takes a deep breath. "How can you not know, Namjoon? God, I feel like a teenager all over again." tears start rolling down his eyes while he chuckles.
“I….” Namjoon started. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know you felt that way. I said that because I’m also in love with you. I wanted to get over my feeling so, I did that.” Namjoon finished.
Now, it’s Seokjin’s turn to be surprised.
“I’m really sorry, hyung. I thought you just wanted us to be friends with benefits. I thought you didn’t like me that way. How can someone as beautiful as you fall for a literature-major nerd?” Namjoon said while smiling softly.
“Well, I don’t think you’re a nerd. I think you’re someone handsome that is a very nice and caring person. You do not want to know how long I’ve been pining after you, Joon.” Seokjin said.
“I guess we’ve been pining over each other for a long time huh?”
“I guess so.” Namjoon pulled Seokjin into a hug. Seokjin melted to Namjoon’s warm body.

6 months later
“Where do you want to put the couch hyung?” Taehyung was panting.
“Just put it in front of the TV” Namjoon replied.
“Okay.” Taehyung and Jeongguk lifted the couch again and placed it in front of the TV.
Yoongi and Hoseok are storing Namjoon’s books into cabinets whilst Jin and Namjoon are putting up pictures to the desks.
♡
“We’re finally moved in.” Namjoon said proudly, looking into their apartment.
They moved into another apartment that’s wider and is more of their style.
“Yup! Thanks for helping us guys.” Seokjin said looking at the other boys.
“Anytime!” Hoseok replied, cheerfully.
“Sad that Jiminie can’t come.” Taehyung said.
“Yeah, He and Taemin hyung had some wedding to attend to.” Jeongguk continued.
“I know, it’s okay though.” Seokjin said.
“You,” Yoongi pointed to Namjoon and Seokjin. “owe us Jajangmyeon. I’m fucking starving.”
“Fine.” Namjoon said.
“Let’s go eat Jajangmyeon!” Taehyung cheered.
“Let’s.” Namjoon said looking into his lovers’ eyes.
