Chapter Text
'For the last time, he's not interested in me.'
'How are you this dense?' Lisa exclaimed in frustration and bambam smirked next to her. Jungkook loved the twins but honestly, they were a pain in the ass sometimes.
'He was just teasing me for being an awkward idiot. You should have seen the smirk on his face when he bought the bread bouquet back. It was smug, not flirty.'
'Yeah, that part was teasing. The part where he called you cute and endearing and told you to ask for him whenever you order pizza next time wasn't.' Lisa explained slowly, as if she was talking to a five year old.
'Will you back me up here?' Jungkook asked in exasperation, turning to Yugeoum and Mingyu.
'No, Lisa's right.' Yugeoum said simply and jungkook threw a cushion at him with a groan. 'I should have never told you guys about this.'
'You didn't.' Rose pointed out as she re-entered the room eating a cookie. 'Your brother told us while you screamed at him to shut up.'
'I'm so glad he did.' Mingyu added and jungkook gave him the bird.
'Okay, it doesn't matter what the fuck happened because it's in the past now. I'm never seeing the guy again. I'm traumatised for life.'
'Stop being such an awkward drama Queen.' rose rolled her eyes. 'This has the potential to be the best love story yet. It's like straight out of a fanfiction.'
'What kind of fanfiction are you reading?'bambam asked curiously. 'Oh, is it exo themed?'
'Never you mind.'
'It is exo fanfiction isn't it? I bet she reads smut.'
'Shut the fuck up-'
'Guys!' Jin called out from the top of the staircase. All six heads turned to look up at him as the man pushed his hair out of his face with a tired sigh. 'I love you guys, but if you don't shut it, I am going to murder you.'
'Sorry.' they politely replied back. His older brother waved them off and turned to leave.
'Oh and jungkook?'
'Yeah?'
'That boy is definitely interested in you.'
'Hyung!' Jungkook called out in exasperation as his friends roared in delight.
'Keep it down, guys. These papers are hard enough to grade with all their stupid answers without you guys causing a racquet.'
Jungkook apologised again along with his friends, feeling a little guilty. Seokjin was a middle school teacher and always had his hands full and jungkook's friends were not helping his stress. His brother was too nice to kick his friends out and had even offered to cook for them all. Seokjin was the best big brother ever.
'So about this Taehyung-'
'Oh for fuck sake, I'm not having this conversation again.' Jungkook snapped. He jumped up and stretched. 'I'm going to the bathroom. Leave me alone.'
'Jesus, fine.' Rose grumbled. 'But can we please order something? I'm so hungry.'
'You're always hungry.'
'So?'
'Its unnatural.'
Yugyeoum, I swear to God-'
Jungkook shut the door before he could hear more and sighed softly at the peace and quiet that enveloped him. He loved his friends but they were a handful.
He quickly unzipped his pants and did his business before washing his hands. Be dried them on the towel and twisted the door knob to exit the tiny bathroom.
It didn't budge.
He tried again.
The door rattled in its place but wouldn't open.
'Uh....guys? I think I'm locked in.'
'I think you are locked in jungkook.' Lisa called back innocently. 'Don't let him out guys.'
What?
' What the fuck are you guys doing?!?' He yelled as he dramatically twisted the door knob here and there. 'Let me out!'
'Just a minute, kook. We just need to do some stuff....'
Jungkook was about to ask what when he heard a triumphant yell from bambam. 'Got it! Told you his passwords are super easy to guess.'
'My pass-WHY are you breaking into my phone?!?'
'Gosh you are dense, kook.' Yugyeom's muffled laugh blew into his ear. 'So we can get your awkward loner ass a fucking date.'
' Don't you fucking dare.. '
'Jeez, they're so many Kim Taehyung here. How do we know which one is which?'
'Hey jungkook, what does your dream pizza dude look like?'
'I'm not telling you!'
'Shame. We'll just send all of these people a request.'
'NO Don't do that! Just....gah, let me out of here!'
'Hey, doesn't Sal's pizza's face book page have a pic of all the employees together? Someone open it up so we can find him.'
'On it.'
'Guys, I'm begging you. Please don't.'
'You know, usually this would work and I would feel so guilty but this is for your own good man.' Mingyu called out and jungkook thwacked his head against the door. Fuck his life, fuck his life, fuck his life.....
'Oh damn, they're all so cute.' Rose said admiringly. 'How do we know which of the good looking one is our guy?'
'We know his name, don't we? All we have to do is match a guy from this picture to all these results. He's gotta be here somewhere.'
'Not necessarily.' Jungkook called out desperately. 'He could be one of those people who's usernames are completely random. He looked like one of them. Or maybe his Display picture isn't of him. Or maybe he isn't even on instagram! A lot of people prefer twitter over instagram you kno-'
'Found him!' Bambam's gleeful voice called out and everyone except jungkook cheered. He heard Mingyu whistle and Lisa call out, 'Damn Kook. Nice catch.'
'...thanks?'
'No problem. Send him a request.'
Jungkook's head shot up at that. 'No don't!'
'Whoops, too late already sent it.' Bambam's gleeful voice floated towards him and he actually had the nerve to laugh when jungkook sent him a string of curse words. 'Just have to wait till he accepts it though. We'll let you out as soon as he does.'
'Why can't you let me out right now? You already sent the damn request.'
'Do you honestly think we're idiots?'
'Yes, very much so.'
'Well, we're not so shut the fuck up. You'll just delete the request and none of us are actually strong enough to fight you. So you're staying put till he-Oh, he already accepted it.'
'HE WHAT?!?'
'And he sent you a request back too!'
'Don't accept it, you twit!'
'He's right, don't accept it.' Mingyu said seriously and jungkook almost cried in relief. At least one of his friends were loyal. 'His feed sucks. We need to fix that before we accept it.'
There were laughs and agreements from everyone as Jungkook's mouth fell open. The fucking injustice.
'Ugh, he's got eleven posts and only one of them is his own picture. We need to post a cool pic of him. '
' DON'T TOUCH MY FEED.'
'You, shush.' rose ordered. 'Bam, open his gallery. He's got to have some good pictures.'
'Don't go through my gallery!'
'Jungkook, I think you should just accept that we're not going to listen to you, bud.' Yugyeoum laughed and jungkook rattled the doorknob. He was going to murder them.
'No....no.....no....this is pretty cute...'
'Not good enough. We need a bad ass picture.'
'No, we should post a cute picture. You know, one in which he's smiling and all.'
'Oh, I've got a really cute picture like that from school!' Lisa said happily. 'I'll send it to you. Just put a black and white filter on it.'
Jungkook had had enough. It was time to pull out the bug guns.
'JIN HYUNG! SEOKJIN! HELP ME!'
' WHAT?'
'HELP ME!'
'WHY?'
Jungkook groaned as his friends laughed. 'JUST GET DOWN HERE YOU GOON!'
'Should I put a caption? Or should I just put a smiley face?'
'Smiley face.'
'Why are you guys like this?' Jungkook groaned. He heard footsteps and then his hyung's voice could be heard on the other side of the door.
'Uh....what's going on here?'
'They locked me up!'
'We locked your idiot brother up so we can get him a date.'
'I see...'
Jungkook waited but then there was silence again. 'Hyung? Will you please unlock me?'
'No, I'm good.'
'HYUNG!'
'Yelling at me won't make me open the door.'
'Fine, have it your way. I'm breaking it.'
'You wouldn't-'
Jungkook interrupted his hyung by slamming his body against the wood. The door bumped forward, and it's hinges creaked. Seokjin let out a roar of shock.
'YAH, are you crazy?!? I can't afford to get this fixed!'
'Then you're just going to have to live with peeing with no fucking privacy if you don't let me out!'
'Crap, fine. Hang on a minute....no, Yugyeoum get out of the way. I'm not about to lose a fucking door to your shenanigans. If you're not done playing cupid, run him over with a bus for all I care but I am unlocking that door.'
'Bambam,hurry up and accept taehyung's request.'
'Way ahead of you. I'm actually messaging him right now.'
Jungkook's blood ran cold. 'You wouldn't....'
'I already am. I sent him a 'Hi'- HEY! OH MY GOD, HE'S TRYING TO KILL ME.'
As soon as the door had popped open, jungkook had flew out and had tackled his friend. His phone had gone flying out of his hands and jungkook jumped away from the screaming boy and leapt forward to retrieve it before it could fall in some other snoopy friend's hand. He stood up with his hair askew and his eyes wide.
'You guys.' He panted out. 'Have five seconds before I murder each and every one of you.'
The girls and Mingyu had already run away and Seokjin waved merrily before slipping back upstairs. Jungkook turned on Yugyeoum with a murderous gleam. His best friend held his hands up in surrender. 'Before you cut my dick off or something can I just tell you something?'
'What?'
'You just got a notification from Kim_Taetae.'
Jungkook froze and slowly turned his phone around to face him. There were four notifications that gleamed up at him.
Kim_Taetae liked your photo
Kim_Taetae commented 'Hey love' on your photo
Kim_Taetae commented 'You're really cute' on your photo
Kim_Taetae has sent you a message.
Jungkook's face felt hot and his heart felt light as he quickly typed in his password and opened the instagram app. He swiped towards the message options and there, in bold letters, was the word 'Hey cutie' in bold letters under Kim Taehyung's name.
The word 'Typing' replaced the message and Jungkook's curiosity took over and he clicked the chat open.
Another message popped up.
I've been thinking about you :)
Glad you found Me here
Jungkook was melting.
