Jungkook frowns as he and Jimin pull up to their dorm building. "Ugh, can we go back to singing Christmas carols in the freezing cold?"

Jimin laughs as he turns the engine off and pulls the keys out. "I thought you hated that."

"I did but that's better than being back here." Jungkook grumbles, pouting cutely as he and Jimin step out of the car.

"Hey, at least with Hoseok gone you have somewhere to put all these extra clothes." Jimin says lightly, but there was a note of sadness in his voice.

Jungkook smiles slightly but he still felt bad about what happened. Yesterday Hoseok had texted him to let them know that he and Yoongi managed to find an apartment about ten minutes away from the campus. It was a bit small- and overpriced- but it was better than nothing.

"We should go over sometime this week for dinner." Jimin adds as he pulls their bags out of the trunk.

"Yeah..." Jungkook trails off, taking his bag.

They walk quietly into the building, which was bustling with all the other students moving back into their dorms.

"Whoa.." Jimin mutters under his breath as everyone turns and looks at them, watching the pair as they head to the elevator.

Jungkook moves closer to Jimin and takes his hand, trying to avoid all the gazes on them- but he still manages to see one person give Jimin a sympathetic look and then immediately give him a look of disgust.

Jungkook turns red and hurries down towards the elevator, jabbing the button repeatedly with his finger.

"Jeez, what the hell is their problem?" Jimin mutters, looking annoyed.

"I dunno." Jungkook says quietly and Jimin notices how much it really affected him.

He sets his bag on the floor as they step onto the elevator and takes the younger boy into his arms, holding him close.

"You know...there's really no point in the both of us having our own rooms. We might as well share a room." Jimin mumbles softly, pressing his lips against Jungkook's shoulder as he meets his gaze in the mirror.

Jungkook looks surprised to say the least; the thought had never occurred to him. "D-do you think they'd let us do that?"

"I don't see why not. They could give the empty room to someone else and get more money. You know theres a waitlist." Jimin says and Jungkook nods, beginning to feel excited.

"Ok, so how do we do it?" Jungkook asks eagerly.

Jimin lets go of Jungkook and picks up his bag as the elevator opens up again.

"We just have to go to Seokjin Hyu-"

"Hyung, what's wrong?" Jungkook says suddenly, and Jimin looks up to see Seokjin leaning  against the wall with his arms crossed, almost like he was waiting on them to appear.

"Go to me for what?" Seokjin asks.

"We wanted to see if we could room together." Jungkook says excitedly but the look on Seokjin's suddenly makes him feel dubious.

"What's going on Hyung?" Jimin asks.

"Jungkook..already has a new roommate." Seokjin says.

"I do?" Jungkook asks in surprise, watching as the two older boys stare at eachother, almost like they were silently communicating.

Jimin suddenly gets angry, startling Jungkook- and everyone else in the hallway- with his outburst.

"It better not be-"

"There's nothing you can do about it so there's no point in getting angry." Seokjin says calmly.

"Who is it?" Jungkook asks.

"Just..cmon so I can get this over with." Seokjin says with a sigh, turning to walk down the hall.

Jimin takes Jungkook's hand again, gripping it rather tight as they follow Seokjin. The people in the rooms surrounding Jungkook's were outside, gossiping amongst themselves as the trio kept on. The girl in the room just before Jungkook's suddenly grabs his arm, stopping him.

"Don't worry Jungkook. He won't last the week here; I've already reported him." She says, looking at Seokjin for confirmation but he only looks annoyed.

"You should report the both of them. He likes that shit-"

"Hey language." Seokjin says sternly, holding Jimin back while Jungkook looks like he wants to die.

"Those are just rumors Haedong. Jungkook doesn't like Kim, just like the rest of us." The girl replies.

"Yeah, sure." Haedong snorts, slamming his door shut.

Seokjin pulls out his master key and unlocks the door. Laying on the top bunk, asleep with a pillow clutched tightly to his body was Taehyung.

"Hyung, I don't like this." Jimin announces loudly, startling the boy out of his sleep.

"Tae?" Jungkook says in surprise.

"Hey." Taehyung replies a bit sheepishly, sitting up.

"Remember what I told you Taehyung. I'm going to let that first report go because you haven't even been here a day but I don't want anything going on in here, got it? I'm not Namjoon, ok? I won't let that stuff slide-"

"Hyung didn't let it slide. He often told me to stop but he couldn't really do anything about it because no one reported it." Taehyung says a bit defensively.

"Then why didn't you listen to him and stop?" Jimin demands.

Taehyung blushes slightly and looks down, shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly.

"Ok listen here. You better not try to do shit with Jungkook because if you do, I'm going to-"

"Jimin that's enough. Cmon, let's go-"

"Are you crazy? I'm not leaving Jungkook alone with him." Jimin says incredulously.

"You already 'threatened' him. I don't think anything's going to happen." Seokjin replies.

"Hyung-"

"It's ok Jimin. I trust Taehyung." Jungkook says a bit awkwardly, his face still burning from Jimin's threat. If he ever found out they'd already done more than enough together...

Jungkook glances up at Taehyung and practically wants to die at the smug smirk on his face.

"What's so funny Kim?" Jimin challenges back.

"It's just funny, how protective you are of Kook." Taehyung replies.

"We're leaving now Jimin." Seokjin says while pulling Jimin towards the door.

"Too bad Bogum wasn't so protective towards you-" Jimin just manages to get out before Seokjin pushes him out of the door and closes it.

"Who is Bogum?" Jungkook asks, looking up in confusion to see Taehyung sitting there, the smirk completely wiped from his face.

"Tae?" Jungkook says gently but Taehyung ignores him, laying back down and throwing his pillow over his face.
