It has been a month since the opening of Bangtan. The restaurant/café has been on full swing since then. Even though Jihoon doesn't make a visit to it most of the time, he at least makes effort to go there once a week. So it's safe to say he has only been the three times after opening. A great friend he is.
"I found an apartment" Jihoon interrupts his brothers conversation. They are sitting in Shining Diamond Café. Each having their usual drinks in their hands. They chose a new space, a table of Four near the bookshelves slightly under the staircase and out of view.
Chan stops slurping his drink and looks at his brother. "Huh?" He asks and Jihoon shrugs. "No, don't shrug, when?" Chan says putting his drink down.
"Two day ago. I visited the place, it is a nice house and I have enough space for myself." Jihoon says. Seokmin sighs in relief.
"Oh thank Heavens" He exclaims. Jihoon looks at him offended "oh no, don't get me wrong. I love you, you are my brother, but have you seen my sitting room? It has your equipment and shit and you make music 25/8 and I need my space and silence to read my books" Seokmin explains. Jihoon shrugs again. He understands
"Where is this apartment?" Jinki asks. He knows Jihoon most definitely chose a place as far away from them as possible. Best guess, Ilsan. It's far from where all the brothers live since they live in Seoul city itself.
"Incheon" The oesophagus seems to have closed down as the Mocha went down the wrong pipe sending Jinki into a coughing fit. Yoongi looks at his little brother with wide eyes before going to help Jinki, patting his back. Hard.
"I'm fine" the words must have fallen into deaf ears because Yoongi is still slapping his brother on the back. "I'm Fine" Jinki says a little louder and hasher his time. Yoongi comes out of his daze and stops.
"Sorry" He apologizes. Jinki rolls his shoulders and takes a sip of his drink carefully this time.
"Wow, on the other side of Korea" Seokmin says and Chan gives him a look. Jihoon furrows his brows in confusion.
"I... No, it's just out of Seoul city. Not even more then 25 minutes out of Seoul" Jihoon explains.
"That means your house is like, what a three hour drive from our houses?" Chan asks and Jihoon nods moving his hand in a so-so manner.
"Two hours if a lot" Jihoon guesses. Chan gives him a blank look.
Does this fool get it? Chan thought
"I am not alone. Jun and Hao are moving in with me. They need a place to stay, that crappy hotel they are staying is... crappy"
Jinki and Yoongi relax. Chan and Seokmin pout. Jihoon takes a sip of his coffee.
"Incheon is so far"
"You are so unfair"

Junhui and Minghao are running around their hotel room collecting their things. Whilst Junhui just grabs them; with their hanger and all, Minghao does it more properly. Remove from hanger, fold and set in the luggage. So it's no secret that Minghao is more of the lady in the relationship.
"For the last time Jun, Pack not dump Pack!" Minghao yells leaving he clothes to go fix Junhui's. Junhui looks at his boyfriend with a blank look. He shakes his head. Bottoms.
"We don't have time though. It's not like we are not going to unpack them later" Junhui says sluggishly. He waves his hands around for fun. Minghao shakes his head.
"Doesn't matter"
"You do it then" Junhui says. He continues with his way, Grab and Dump. Minghao grains in frustration.
"I hate you"
Before Junhui can reply. Someone knocks on their door and they look at each other. "Jihoonie is too early" Junhui says walking to the door. He opens it with a smile, he blinks, slams it close it with a frown.
"I don't think that was Jihoon, You slammed it pretty hard" Minghao points out. Junhui glares.
"Yes point out the obvious sir" Junhui sasses. Minghao rolls his eyes walking past his boyfriend and to the door. He opens it and sighs.
"Please don't slam it in my face" Minghao steps back and does a over exaggerated come in gesture with a rueful smile. Wonwoo gulps.
"No, I just..." He begins. He thinks about it for a moment. Nah he is not going in there, not without Mingyu. "I want to know if you guys know where Jihoon is. I really need to talk to him" Wonwoo asks. Minghao raises a brow. Junhui gives a nasty look.
"No" They reply in unison and the door slams in His face again. Wonwoo sighs. He turns to walk away and exactly at that moment Jihoon turns into the hallway, no doubt coming to Minghao and Junhui's room.
"Jiwoo" Wonwoo says and Jihoon stops. Wonwoo offer s sheepishly smile with a small wave. Oh no. Jihoon thought.
"It's Jihoon now" Jihoon corrects. The boy even though looking Wonwoo straight in the eye, he is trying his best not to break down. He knows he can't keep it up "And I have places to be" Jihoon adds quickly. He walks past Wonwoo and towards Junhui and Minghao's room.
"No wait—" Wonwoo holds his wrist. Jihoon turn around and yanks it from his grasp, harshly, as if Wonwoo's touch, something he uses to crave, burnt him. Wonwoo frowns looking at his hand.
"Don't touch me" Jihoon rasps out. One can tell that he is trying so hard not to cry. "Please" He begs. Wonwoo sighs, sadly. He really did mess things up. Jihoon walks away.
But he can't. No, he won't give up as long as Jihoon still loves him.

Taehyung, Jimin and Jeongguk are sitting in the living room and the Kim house. SeokJin and Namjoon are in the kitchen probably cooking or doing whatever parents do.
"You guys bought a new house" Jeongguk points out. "Nice place, simple and homey" He compliments. Taehyung gives a deep chuckle with a soft nod.
"I chose it. We sold the big mansion, Even though it had great memories, It was too big" Taehyung says shrugging "Shua is moving in with us again anyways. We resume our room sharing days" Taehyung adds showing off his cute box smile.
Jimin laughs when Jeongguk groans. It's no secrete that Jeongguk and Joshua have a past, one that Joshua tends to use against the younger, so often. Jeongguk just can't win against the savage fast witted male.
Jeongguk runs his left hand against his facing groaning in frustration. Taehyung stops laughing and looks at Jeongguk with wide eyes, mouth slightly hanging. He... Did he see that right? Or is his mind playing tricks on him? Jeongguk brings his hand up to run it through his hair and there it is again. The small gold ring on the finger.
"No way" Taehyung says. Jeongguk and Jimin look at him confused "No way" Taehyung Whispers this time. He changes his sitting position to get comfortable, he then faces Jeongguk.
"What?"
"Oh my Gosh! YOU ARE MARRIED!" Taehyung yells. Jeongguk freezes. "Uh, What?"
Oh shit.
SeokJin and Namjoon run out of the Kitchen. They didn't hear that right. Twenty one year old, Bad boy player, baby bunny Jeon Jeongguk is married? Married? Has the world finally flipped on its axis? Earth fell out of the Milky way? The ozone layer finally cracked?
All of the above as suppose to happen before Jeongguk even thought of commitment. Yet they are still alive?
"Uh..." Jeongguk looks to Jimin for help. Jimin purses his lips sinking back into the sofa. Guess he is on his own. He doesn't have to be though, Yoongi should go through this shit with him. Unfortunately, Yoongi is not here and his phone is on the charger, so he can't call his husband. How the odds are against him.
"Look Appa" Taehyung grabs Jeongguk's hand and shoves it in his father's faces. The action caused Jeongguk to fall of the sofa, hitting the table in the process. The young man groans in pain. "It's a wedding ring. He got married and we are still alive" Taehyung says.
"Yah, what does that mean!" Jeongguk yells offended, pain evident in his voice. "And give me my hand back" He yanks it from Taehyung's grasp. Taehyung pouts.
"When did you get married?" SeokJin asks sitting down. Namjoon joins his husband.
"And to whom?" Namjoon asks. "Also, where is our invitation?" He adds. Jeongguk gulps.
"I should not be suffering through this alone" Jeongguk grumbles picking himself up from the ground.
"Yeah Yoongi should be here" Jimin Finally speaks. Realising his words, he sinks back into the sofa. Jeongguk groans. "Sorry" He apologizes Jeongguk glares.
"Yoongi? You married Yoongi hyung?" Taehyung asks. SeokJin clenches his jaw. "Oh"
"I see" SeokJin says. Jeongguk turns to him
"No Hyung. Listen–"
"I see. It's okay. I'll just talk to Yoongi" SeokJin says. Namjoon shakes his head sighing. He takes hold of SeokJin's hand.
"Love..." Namjoon calls to his husband "... Should you take this up to Yoongi. Please listen first" Namjoon pleads. Everyone knows how SeokJin gets when he is hurt. He will go on and on about all the shit he did for you and then throws the big bomb. He cries and you sit there listening and feeling like a total prick. A dumb ass prick.
"Mh" Namjoon takes his husband back to the kitchen. Obviously they are going to talk.
"Oh Yoongi will kill me. That's it, I am done for" Jeongguk groans falling back on the couch. "Tae listen. When you guys left, we immediately lost contact. Yoongi did look for your numbers, address, anything. He refused to get married without Jin hyung. In fact we postpone the wedding just so we can look for you guys, but eventually hyung gave up. He couldn't find anything. He bawled his eyes out on his wedding day just because his Best friends were not there, heck the wedding mood was sour for all of us. We just couldn't postpone it anymore though. His brothers were ready murder us if we did again. Please understand" Jeongguk explains. Taehyung shrugs.
"I was never mad. I mean You got married, married Guk, do you know how happy I am for you? Like I am over the moon and I want to know everything" Taehyung says leaning forward like a gossip girl ready to get the juiciest gossip she can get.
"Okay..." Jeongguk begins "... Where do I start?"
"Who proposed?" Taehyung asks
"Me, obviously." Jeongguk says grinning. Taehyung throws him a confused look. Jeongguk frowns.
"I fail to see the obviousness in what you just said" Taehyung says. Jimin burts out laughing. "You proposed? You went on one knee and asked Yoongi to marry you?" Taehyung asks. Jeongguk nods.
"That's right" Jeongguk affirms.
"Okay, What happened to the real Guk?"
"Arse"
😐
Jihoon parks his car in the garage of their new house. Junhui leans forward from the backseat grinning. "Come on" He exclaims right in their ears. Minghao and Jihoon groan moving away from him. Junhui gets out of the car excitedly. He slips to the trunk and grabs the bags.
"I don't trust him" Minghao says and Jihoon nods. They quickly get out of the car and hurry to Junhui's side. Junhui is already walking toward the door that leads to the kitchen from the garage carrying his luggage and his luggage only.
"Selfish!" Jihoon yells. Junhui turns around and stick his tongue out. He turn around laughing as he opens the door and enters the house. "This guy" Jihoon shakes his head with a small smile on his face.
"The fool is lucky we love him" Minghao says. Jihoon chuckles softly. "He is 22 yet he act like he is 15" Minghao shakes his head.
"You are 21 and yet you act like you are thirty. Why are you complaining?" Jihoon grumbles walking to the open door dragging his bags.
"I do not! I am just responsible!" Minghao yells
"As am I" Jihoon yells back "But you don't see me acting like I am PMSing 26/9 do you?!" Jihoon yells. Minghao huffs out in anger. What did he do to get two equally mean people? What kind of karma is that?
"I hate you!"
"I love you too hao!"
"I love Jun!"
"Idiot, big third degree idiot"
