"What? You aren't kidding?" I ask.

"I'm not. You've been a Bangtan Boy since I told you were one, weeks ago."

My mind flashbacks to the day Ji Hee and her group were beating me up right outside the school.

Ji Hee called me a slut for talking to other guys besides my fake-boyfriend Taehyung, and Jungkook defended me against Ji Hee with both his words and actions.

Jungkook holds my arm. "I'll let you know Y/n has so much worth to me than you guys realize. Don't speak about others girls in a derogatory manner like that. Talking to guys other than her boyfriend doesn't mean Y/n's a cheater. Besides, the reasons why we've become closer is because she recently become a member of the Bangtan Boys."

I thought he just said that so Ji Hee and her group would leave me alone. He was... legit?

"You were serious this whole time?"

"Yes," Jungkook says. "And this means Namjoon is not allowed to kill you."

Namjoon laughs. "Yeah, that is one of the few rules of the Bangtan Boys gang... Member can't kill member. But it's not like the other members voted her to be allowed in."

"Oh, really?" Jungkook takes his phone from his pocket and plays a video. A scene unfolds which shows most of The Bangtan Boys members (which included Jungkook, Yoongi, Jin and Hoseok) sitting at a table.

Jungkook asks the members if it's formidable to Y/n for join and they all instantaneously agree.

"YAS, we need the queen in our presence!" Jin yells in the video.

Namjoon stutters. "B-But, I have to be there, too!"

Jungkook smirks. "Let the video continue." The camera eventually pans over to Namjoon sleeping, laying his head on his arms against the table.

"If anyone believes Y/n is not formidable to be a member of the Bangtan Boys, let them speak now or forever hold their peace," Jungkook declares.

Namjoon is silent in the video.

Jungkook places the phone in his pocket. "There ya go. Y/n is a member of the Bangtan Boys. By law."

Namjoon is fuming. "You're lucky I'm a heavy sleeper and the Bangtan Boys rules were made when I was 11 years old and really dumb!"

Namjoon angrily walks over towards me and raises his fist.

I cower back in fear.

He slowly lowers his fist and instead shakes my hand. "Welcome to the Bangtan Boys..." He says in a weak, defeated voice. "And congratulations on finding a loophole."

He continues. "I still don't think you belong in the Bangtan Boys. In my heart, I know there's supposed to be 2 other members, 7 total and you're not one of them. Maybe in another universe we'd be all united or maybe they're here..."

Namjoon mutters to himself. "Never mind, I just sound crazy."

You're not crazy and I know what you mean.

"Anyways, I need to take a look at the Bangtan Boy rules and make sure another loophole like this never happens again!"

He shakes his head and walks over to Jin. "I'm your boyfriend and you betrayed me like that?"

Jin sighs. "I'm so sorry Namjoon, but you really weren't treating Y/n fairly. Jungkook had to find a way out of this whole mess."

"When did this Bangtan Boys meeting even take place?" Namjoon demands to know.

"Last night," Jungkook calls out. "Next time don't sleep on the job and you won't miss out on anything...brother."

Namjoon growls. "Brother, my butt!"

He heads to the elevator and Jin follows behind him, apologizing. Like an old, married couple tied at the hip, they argue continuously until the elevator doors shut close and we can't hear them.

"I-I'm really a member of the Bangtan Boys," I say.

"You better believe it." Jungkook impulsively places a strand of my hair behind my ear, then suddenly lets go, realizing what he was doing.

We both shyly laugh.

Watching us from the sidelines, Taehyung walks over. "Sorry to interrupt your moment lovebirds, but I'm here, too. Pay attention to me. The Royalty."

Jungkook rolls his eyes. "I'm not finished with you, Mister Cheater. Making out with another dude five days after you confess your feelings to someone? Who does that?"

Taehyung trembles and I protectively stand in front of him. "Don't worry, Jungkook. We aren't dating again. It's just a cover-up that Taehyung's father told us to do."

"Oh." Jungkook sheepishly ruffles his hair. "Weird because my dad is also forcing me date someone else. Well to be exact, engaged."

I frown. "Political families are the worst. How is it going with Minseo, by the way?"

Jungkook sighs. "We aren't with each other unless if it's public events. Which is fine by me... I never understand what she says. And when I ask a translator what she's saying, she's almost always cursing me or someone else under her breath in Spanish! Just yesterday I learnt what hijo de puta means!"

"Perfect couple," Taehyung snorts and Jungkook playfully punches him on the shoulder.

"Owww!!!" Taehyung cries.

"Baby." Jungkook sticks his tongue out.

"Bro, you don't get it. That really hurt!" Taehyung whines.

"Oh, shoot that's probably because-"

"You beat him up ten minutes ago," I point at him.

Jungkook purses his lips. "Sorry. I usually am able to control my emotions better and not act so impulsively. You broke Y/n's heart so terribly and then it was revealed that y'all are dating and I felt so bad for her that she's getting played by you yet again-"

Taehyung massages his own arm. "You don't have to say it. We get it. You were jealous."

"I was not!" Jungkook pouts.

"Mm-hmm. Whatever you say, hijo de puta."

"You don't even know the meaning! Do you want a matching black eye with your other one?" Jungkook threatened.

I sigh. Dealing with Taehyung or Jungkook alone took a lot of energy. But now that these two boys were together... It's like two tornados becoming one gigantic super-tornado, destroying everything in its path.

"Alright guys, chill!"

Surprisingly, both became quiet and stood still, listening to my command.

"What does hijo de puta even mean?" I ask.

Jungkook places his finger in front of his lips. "Shh! That's a bad word."

"Well, tell me at least! I won't use it anymore," Taehyung promised.

Jungkook whispers in Taehyung's ear and Taehyung widens his eyes.

"Oh my Lucifer! Yup. Definitely gonna tell that to everyone in Hell," Taehyung smirks.

"In what?" Jungkook asks.

"I said home!" Taehyung exclaims.

"Can I know what it means, too?" I ask.

"No!" Taehyung and Jungkook exclaim, shaking their heads simultaneously.

"And why not?"

"Because you're too young," Jungkook explains.

"Hey! I'm only a few months younger than you!" I point at him.

"A few months too late." Taehyung sticks out his tongue.

Jungkook and Taehyung and fist pound and laugh. Then, they begin whispering other curse words and giggling like 5 year olds.

My god, they were really brothers.

"Well since you're all so occupied with each other, I'm gonna go home and take a nap," I announce.

They didn't even hear me because they were gossiping so much.

I was happy that I could finally speak to Jungkook again, but man I was just so physically exhausted. I felt I could fall asleep right there and then, and Taehyung seems to be having a great time with his brother. A few hours of a break couldn't hurt?

I begin walking towards the elevator, but I'm stopped by someone.

"Woah, where do you think you're going, Missy?" Yoongi pops right in front of me and asks.

Oh yeah, I saw Yoongi when he arrived with Jin and Namjoon... I thought he left with them, too. Guess he stayed on the balcony.

"To take a nap," I repeat.

Yoongi chuckles. "You do realize you're a member of the Bangtan Boys, right? This gang isn't a joke."

"So? Why can't I leave?"

"Because you have a bunch of duties to attend to," he says.

"Huh? What duties?"

AUTHOR'S NOTE: yes, sometimes I do quick updates 😉
