SH: Hey Jin. Jungkook and I just got in another stupid fight. I don't think I should come up today.

Jin: Ok, sorry that happened. We'll bring food down.

SH: Oh, that is so sweet. Don't feel like you have to.

But moments later, five boys were entering her apartment, each carrying different serving plates of food. Hobi had a cup carrier of coffees. "I thought you were bringing me a plate not a whole meal! This is so nice!" Sun-Hee was cheered up already.

Jin smiled, "We wanted to eat with you."

Tae was still there and still in his pajamas. It was almost like he wanted everyone to know he slept over. But Sun-Hee tried not to let it get to her. If Jungkook could believe she was doing more than just sleeping with Tae even though she told him she wasn't, then there probably wasn't anything she could do to make it better.

Jimin came up to Sun-Hee and gave her a big long squeezy hug. "I'm so glad you are still friends with us. When I saw that guy last night, and thought you preferred him to us, I got a bit mad."

"Did you? Huh. I'm glad you told me because I couldn't tell." Sun-Hee looked at him with faked confusion.

"Oh come on, I wasn't that intimidating." He licked his lips and gave her his beautiful innocent angel smile.

"Are you kidding, there is no one in the world that would have defied you while you were like that! I was nervous you were going to tell me to beat poor Ji-Hoon up or drop and give you push-ups!" Sun-Hee teased.

"Good to know that I have a way to get what I want from people, if I need to. That might come in handy sometime." He had a sly look.

"Park Jimin, you better not be using your anger and intimidation to get what you want. You are better than that!" Sun-Hee brought her finger up to waggle at him.

"Or maybe I'm not." He tickled her before taking a seat at the table.

They ate pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and hash browns until they practically rolled out of the kitchen. "Wow, that tasted just like home. Thank you Jin and Yoongi." They were glad to have made Sun-Hee happy especially after she got in another fight with Jungkook.

Hobi clapped twice and addressed the group, "We have some furniture to build!" He gave Sun-Hee the bags of clothes to go put away. And assigned furniture to be built by each of the others. Working together in pairs they were able to put together a dresser, a table, and a small bookshelf. The only thing left to assemble was the large bookshelf to cover the entry wall. But Sun-Hee said she would work on it later.

They thought about what they should do next. Games and movies were suggested but Sun-Hee said she wanted to watch some of their videos. Everyone thought this was a good idea. Jimin decided to record her reactions on his phone so they could watch them again later. 

"But what if I don't have much of a reaction? Then it will be boring." Sun-Hee asked.

Joonie laughed, "Do you even know yourself at all? You have a reaction to the smallest thing. You are going to react to our videos."

Sun-Hee narrowed her eyes and looked at Namjoon with no smile. "Are you saying I'm a drama queen?"

Namjoon shook his head and put his hands up, "Certainly not, I would never say that," then quieter "out loud." Everyone laughed.

Jin asked, 'Which one should we show her first?"

Sun-Hee had an idea, "Maybe we should do them chronologically from the first to the last." The eruption of emphatic 'no's' that followed showed how terrible they thought that idea was.

Jin smiled, "Absolutely not, we will do something recent, yes? Let's show her our newest videos first. We can do older ones later."

The first one they put on was DNA. This one had come out just a few weeks earlier.

Sun-Hee settled on the couch and Jimin started filming her on his phone. The white Big Hit label came on and Sun-Hee clapped her hands in front of her chest. "I'm so excited."

The video started with Jungkook whistling while math equations swirled around him. "His eyes are following the camera exactly, that is really cool." Then it flashed to a scene with all the boys, "Wow, so colorful, I love it." 

"Cool jacket Jimin." 

"Tae you have such a beautiful voice!" she clasped her hands in front of her chest.

"Oh, Jin visuals, always appreciated!" patting her heart.

"I could watch Hobi dance all day, you really are amazing."

"I love it when you all dance together like that. You are perfectly in synch with each other. That must take so much practice!" 

"Oooo Yoongi with the blue hair. So handsome." 

"Joonie with the cute dance!" she did the little motion with him, fists moving up and down.

"Was that Jin that just booked it out of there?" 

"Uh oh, sexy looks! Guard your hearts girls."

The boys loved seeing her reaction to their videos. She was so excited about each one. She also bounced along with the songs and danced a little in her seat as they watched the videos. 

Next up was Not Today. "It's like a whole movie!" Sun-Hee was a huge Lord of the Rings fan so she recognized Joonie's line at the beginning of the video. She loved the group dance, especially Jimin at the end. She didn't like the part when the group members got shot, but she thought Jungkook was a good actor. They decided she better never watch I Need U if she was bothered by Not Today

She oohed and aahed over Save Me because it was a dance video. She was impressed that it was done in one shot and asked how they kept appearing places without being seen. They demonstrated, Tae was the camera and they ran around behind the camera until they jumped into their spot. Sun-Hee was so impressed. "Such a great song!"

Sun-Hee cried through Spring Day. They explained the meaning as she watched the video. "What an amazing tribute. I remember that ferry tragedy. And that song, oh my gosh, it is so beautiful. I want to play that on repeat. That song has to mean so much to so many people. I'm so proud of you."

She had all the reactions they wanted to Fire. She was shocked when Yoongi set the guy on fire at the beginning. She wanted to know if the car really dropped or if it was computer graphics. She loved the dance. "That one was just pure fun! I love it! It makes me want to dance!"

Jimin wanted to show her Blood, Sweat, and Tears but no one else wanted to make her watch that one with them. She thought a few serious looks in the other videos were 'sexy looks' so they weren't sure how she could handle a video designed to be sexy.

She loved the costumes in Dope and of course the dancing. She couldn't figure out what Tae's job was, "Are you a scientist?" But he told her he was a detective. She loved Dr. Jin's smiles and thought Hobi looked amazing in his car racing outfit. She loved Yoongi's rap part with the drones surrounding him. And didn't mention anything about 'hot cop' Jungkook.

She scolded them through the entire Run video. "You are bad boys! Graffitii Tae?" 

"Joonie! Getting arrested and smiling like that! What a terrible example you are setting for Tae!" 

"Arghhh you are terrorizing all those poor people in the tunnel!"

By the end they were all laughing so hard. Hobi took her face in his hands, "You know it is just a music video, right? We never did those things." Sun-Hee nodded but they all still had the feeling they were grounded.

They showed her For You next which calmed her down a lot. "You are all so sweet! You worked so hard to get him that plane ticket! The number of girls that had to have fallen in love with you over this video." She held her hands together in front of her heart.

At one point Jin had ordered take out food and bags of hamburgers and fries and milkshakes showed up to the front door. Sun-Hee got a call from her dad while they were all eating and she took it in the bedroom.

Namjoon used this opportunity to ask Tae about the fight between Jungkook and Sun-Hee. "I was half asleep because I just woke up. But I think Sun-Hee told Jungkook that she wasn't my girlfriend and then he got mad because we slept together."

Namjoon gave Tae a serious look, "But you let Jungkook know that nothing happened, right? That you only slept here?"

Tae shook his head, "No, he left before we could explain." Namjoon's eyebrows rose and that got some surprised sounds from the other boys too.

"And you've stayed here all day and not gone to talk to Jungkook to make it right?" Tae's head was down. "Go" was all Namjoon could say.

Tae got up and went to get his yesterday clothes on and went upstairs to talk to Jungkook.

Jimin defended Tae after he left, "He really likes her."

Yoongi shook his head, "No. We all really like her. He is the only one calling her his girlfriend and trying to get into her bed. For him to let Jungkook believe they had sex all day is inexcusable."

Jimin was frowning at Yoongi now, "Why should Jungkook care? He isn't even nice to her. It isn't any of his business." 

Yoongi looked right at Jimin, "Would you care? If Tae had sex with Sun-Hee, would it matter even a bit to you?" Jimin looked down. They all knew they would be affected. If Sun-Hee had a relationship with one of them it would change her relationship with them all. "Just because Jungkook's reaction to Sun-Hee isn't the same as ours doesn't mean he isn't affected by her. We all know this has been weird for us to like someone so much, so fast. Jungkook is part of us and he is having strong emotions towards her also. Tae is being selfish. He thinks because he met her first, she is his. That is not the way this works. You can't call 'dibs' on a girl. She is all of our friend, including Jungkook's and we need to make sure none of us ruin it for the others."

Yoongi's words hit home. Jimin nodded, "You are right. The last couple days of not seeing her were really hard. And when I saw her going on a date last night, looking so pretty on the arm of that douchebag, I just lost it. I understand what you are saying. Sorry." Jimin hugged Yoongi. They all came over for a group hug.

Tae went up to the apartment. He couldn't find Jungkook upstairs so he headed down. He found Jungkook dripping with sweat in the gym beating on a large punching bag. Jungkook had fire in his eyes. When Tae walked in, Jungkook stopped and let his hands hang at his sides. He gave Tae a guarded look.

"I'm sorry I didn't come talk to you sooner. Last night I was waiting for Sun-Hee to get back from her date and I fell asleep by her door. When she got home she let me in and I fell asleep on her bed. Nothing happened." Tae looked contrite.

Jungkook looked at Tae for a moment, "How'd you get her pajamas on?"

"I was uncomfortable in my clothes so I thought I would sleep in my underwear but Sun-Hee wasn't okay with that so she gave me some pajamas and made me change in the bathroom." Tae tried to be as honest as possible because he knew Jungkook had been mad all day because of him. "So when she said she isn't my girlfriend, that is true."

Jungkook's energy drained in that moment. The anger had been what was holding him together and with the anger gone, so was his energy. He fell to his knees and thought: What have I done? I called her a lying bitch. She will never forgive me for this. And I deserve it.

Tae turned to go but then turned back to say one more thing. "Just because I haven't had sex with Sun-Hee doesn't mean I won't. I really like her and I want her to be my girlfriend. I'm the one that met her, I'm the one that introduced her to you all. I'm the only one that was nice to her from the start. And I'm the only one she has kissed on the lips. She is practically mine."

Tae was extremely lucky that Jungkook was exhausted. If Jungkook had any energy whatsoever he would have chased Tae down and beat the snot out of him. But as it was, he was barely able to get upstairs, into a shower, and into bed.
