the new kid

.20.

namjoon arrives at seokjin's house and goes up to the front door with him. they get to the door and face each other. "thank you so much for this, namjoon. i had a great time." seokjin tells namjoon. the lacrosse player smiles. "i'm glad you had a good time." namjoon replies.

the boys stare at each other for a second before they start slowly leaning into each other. their lips connect and they share a kiss. seokjin puts his arms around namjoon's neck and namjoon places his hands on seokjin's waist. they pull away and smile at each other.

"does that mean a second date will happen?" namjoon asks with a smile. seokjin chuckles at the question and nods. "of course, silly." he responds. the door suddenly opens, revealing mrs. kim. "hey, guys! i was wondering if namjoon wanted to stay the night? we'd love to get to know you, and jungkook is here as well!" she requests.

namjoon smiles at the woman. "well i'd have to go get some clothes, but i'd love to." he tells the woman. mrs. kim claps her hands in excitement and smiles. "awesome! seokjin can go with you to get some clothes!" she says. she closes the door and the boys laugh.

"that's why i love your mom."

"oh, be quiet!"

"boys, i have snacks downstairs!" mrs. kim yells at the two lacrosse players from the kitchen. the boys groan, waking up from their little cat nap. taehyung tries to get up, jungkook's grip holding him back. "kook, let me go! i'm hungry!" taehyung whines, not being too happy as soon as he wakes up.

"one second." jungkook says, his voice raspy from just waking up. and taehyung found that voice pretty damn hot. but he knew he couldn't get horny with his whole family in the house. after a few minutes, jungkook finally gets up, letting taehyung breath. "god, you had a fucking death grip on me." taehyung mumbles while walking out of his room.

jungkook shakes his head at his new boyfriend's actions. he follows taehyung downstairs and to the kitchen, where there are so many snacks jungkook can't process it. they are all layed out in rows. the gummies being in a role, the chips in another, and chocolates or other stuff in a different row.

"thank you, mom." taehyung says to his mom, grabbing a bunch of snacks to bring up to his room. "it's no problem! why don't you eat in the living room so we can chat?" she asks, the boys nodding in agreement. the couple grabs as many snacks as they can hold and head to the large living room.

they sit together on the large L-shaped couch, sitting their snacks down on the coffee table in front of them. jungkook chooses to be bold and put an arm around taehyung, the other boy not fazed by the action. mrs. kim notices the action but doesn't say anything. "so, how's hoseok? the fall he took was pretty bad." she decides to converse with the teens.

"i texted yoongi and he says that hoseok is out of the hospital and scheduled for surgery in about three weeks." taehyung tells his mom while eating gummy worms. she nods. "did they say what happened specifically?" she asks. taehyung looks at jungkook, trying to tell him to respond.

"they said he had a grade 3 acl tear which means his acl was split completely into two pieces and his knee is totally unstable. it'll take months to recover." jungkook tells the older woman. mrs. kim's eyes widen. "oh my goodness! that's horrible, he's such a nice boy." she says.

the three continue to talk until the front door opens, revealing seokjin and namjoon. jungkook realizes who's just walked through the door and his eyes widen. taehyung and jungkook make eye contact and bite their lips nervously. the two senior's walk into the living room, noticing jungkook and taehyung.

"hey, mom! hey jungkook." seokjin greets while sitting down on the couch, namjoon sitting next to him and eyeing jungkook. the senior and the junior don't stop eye contact until mrs. kim asks namjoon a question. "so who are your parents, namjoon?" she asks, her mind completely going off of the juniors.

"oh, my mother's name is kang eun-sook and my father is kim dae-ho." he says, mrs. kim nodding. "yes! your mother is a very successful woman, i've heard a lot about her!" the mother exclaims. namjoon smiles and looks at jungkook who is looking at the ground while eating his chips.

namjoon looks at the woman. "if you would excuse me, can i talk to you jungkook?" he asks the boy. jungkook nods and looks at taehyung nervously, taehyung giggling at the boys facial expression. the two boys exit the living room and go into the game room. namjoon closes the door and locks it.

"you have some explaining to do." namjoon says while crossing his arms. jungkook sighs. "look, i've been struggling with my sexuality for a long time. i told hoseok and then when taehyung came..." jungkook doesn't finish his sentence. namjoon looks at him and raises his shoulders, motioning for him to continue.

jungkook shrugs. "when he came, it's like something clicked. as if we'd met before. it was so confusing, it still is. but it's like we had an instant connection and i was just pushing it away." jungkook says, and namjoon nods. "well are you and taehyung, like, going out or?" namjoon questions.

jungkook nods shyly. namjoon sighs. "just don't hurt him. you not being out and not even knowing your sexuality is dangerous." he tells the younger. jungkook sighs. "i know, but i'm not ready yet." jungkook says. "i understand. especially with your parents, but don't wait too long or else that boy will be long gone."

namjoon walks out of the room, jungkook following. they walk in to find the brothers and their mother laughing about a joke seokjin had cracked. they smile at the sight, admiring the two brothers. they sit back down and begin talking with mrs. kim again, mr. kim coming into the living room and joining the conversations as well.
