Perplexing Simplicities

"Jungkook's coming too?"

The two had stopped briefly at The Whale to pick up Jimin and Taehyung only to find Jungkook waiting shyly next to them.

"We're just dropping him off, he has a" Tae glared at Jungkook, "very vague and untellable thing he has to do nearby..."

Jungkook blushed and ducked into the back seat of the car. "Thanks for the ride Mr. Yoongi."

They all laughed and Yoongi snorted. "Yoongi. Yoongi is fine."

After dropping Jungkook a few streets down from the town square and listening to Jimin and Tae tell him an incessant number of times to "be careful!!!", Yoongi was finally pulling into the small parking lot behind Jin's dad's stand. Jin worked there part time and every once in a while Yoongi would help him get an audition at some company or another. He was an excellent actor, so it wasn't hard, it's just he didn't have the time to commit to anything permanent.

Getting out of the car, Jimin and Taehyung immediately darted off into the crowds yelling hasty "bye's!" "Text me's" and "where's the food!" Yoongi walked slowly next to Namjoon who seemed stuck in thought.

He hooked his arm in Namjoon's and bumped into him gently. "It'll be fun. Also, we can leave at any time."

Namjoon laughed nervously and nodded, clinging to Yoongi's arm. "Thank you."

"NAMJOON-AH!!! You asshole!!!" Jin was charging towards them. "I thought you stood me up!!! You're almost an hour late!"

Namjoon shrunk next to Yoongi.

"Hey Yoongi! How've you been?"

Yoongi laughed at the elder who was now grinning smoothly.

"Uh, can't complain. Sorry we're late though, that was my fault."

Seokjin shrugged. "Don't worry about it, it happens."

Yoongi laughed and glanced at Namjoon who was looking at both of them annoyed.

"I believe, this one is for you." Yoongi gently unwrapped his arm and handed Namjoon to Seokjin.

Jin grinned so widely Yoongi wanted to scream because oh my god were these idiots so obviously in love it physically hurt him. They actually had a shot at happiness and they were just running around in circles. Utter morons.

"Thanks, Yoongi, I'll take good care of him." Seokjin wrapped his arms around Namjoon and dragged him away while Namjoon grumbled something about 'unfair treatment'.

They left Yoongi to wander on his own while Jin explained to Namjoon what the dance competition would be like.

"So, two people from every stall have to compete, you can team up with people from other stalls though..."

Namjoon tugged at Jin's arm. "You couldn't have just done that?!"

Jin rolled his eyes. "I was gonna... but Sandeul sucks at dancing."

Namjoon narrowed his eyes but Jin couldn't see. 

Was he getting jealous thinking about Jin dancing with some other guy? Sure, yes, he was. And was he for the first time in years maybe admitting to himself he might actually like Jin? Yes. Yes, he was.

"Don't see him taking any dance classes to improve that..." Namjoon muttered.

"What?"

Namjoon shook his head, laughing nervously. "N-nothing."
