Serendipity
Chapter 6: Maknae’s day
Hoseok
… five, six, seven, eight
Hoseok
I think we’re done now
Jimin
One more time, please
Jungkook
Yeah, just one more
Narrator
Jimin and Jungkook asked Hoseok. He shook his head in negation.
Namjoon
We can’t continue, Yoongi, Jin, Hobi and I have to go to the studio.
Taehyung
We can take care of ourselves, hyung
Lea
Can I say something?
Narrator
Since Namjoon introduced Lea to the boys, they decided to invite her to their dance practice. So she could see in person what they can do.
Narrator
They were hours doing a coreography, they are kinda sweating a lot.
Lea
You guys did a great job, I loved the coreo… why don’t you leave them practicing more? I can stay with them
Narrator
Namjoon looks at her concerned. He knew them, and it could end up in disaster.
Jin
Are you sure?
Hoseok
That could work, we need to focus on the other thing
Namjoon
You don’t have to do this, don’t you have school tomorrow?
Taehyung
She’s cool, we want to stay with her, can we?
Narrator
Lea laughs softly, thinking the petition was cute.
Jungkook
Besides, she has a good eye for the dance
Jimin
So?
Hoseok
Yoongi?
Narrator
Yoongi was literally ignoring the situation while taking his stuff.
Narrator
Not because he wasn’t interested, but the fact that he has a feeling he can’t ignore.
Narrator
He didn’t want to participate in the discussion.
Yoongi
If she stays or not, is up to her. I’ll go to the studio, aren’t you guys coming?
Jin
Sure
Namjoon
Yeah… Well, if you need something just call us
Lea
Don’t worry, Nam, I’ll be okay… we’ll be okay
Hoseok
Wait for me!
Narrator
The boys left them in the practice room. As soon as they left, the music started.
Narrator
After 15 minutes, Jimin, Taehyung and Jungkook ended up lying on the floor.
Lea
Here’s the water
Narrator
She gave them the bottles.
Jungkook
Thanks
Taehyung
Next time, we should go to the house and sleep
Jimin
Agreed
Narrator
They sat in a small group while refreshing. Jimin invited her with a look.
Jimin
Hey
Lea
Yeah?
Narrator
She raised her eyebrow.
Jimin
How you doing?
Lea
Good?
Jungkook
Jimin
Jimin
Huh?
Jungkook
As Namjoon hyung once said…
Jungkook
“You have no jams”
Taehyung
True
Narrator
They all laughed.
Lea
When did he said that?
Jimin
It’s a funny story
Narrator
Jimin told his version of that travel, getting interrupted by Taehyung.
Lea
That sounds fun, I don’t remember ever going on an airplaine in my life…
Jungkook
Really? I thought you came from another country
Jungkook
I mean, you don’t look korean
Narrator
Jimin and Tae looked at Jungkook shocked.
Taehyung
Jungkook!
Jungkook
What?
Lea
You’re right Jungkook, I’m not korean
Lea
But I always lived here, I think
Jimin
In Seoul?
Narrator
She nods.
Lea
I would love to travel…
Jimin
Hear me out
Jimin
Once we are famous, you will come with us
Lea
Are you sure? Yoongi seems to don’t like me
Lea
It would be weird…
Taehyung
It’s normal, soon you two will be besties
Jungkook
He always pushes you away when you try to hug him-
Taehyung
That’s not true
Narrator
Taehyung crossed his arms offended.
Jimin
Don’t listen to them, just don’t think about that
Jimin
It’s Yoongi hyung being… him?
Lea
If you say so…
Narrator
There’s a moment of silence.
Narrator
The boys wanted to interact with her but didn’t know how.
Narrator
Then, Jungkook got an idea.
Jungkook
That's it.
Jungkook
Do you know how to dance?
Lea
I used to practice a long time ago, why?
Jungkook
Because you noticed the details when we were practicing before
Jungkook
I thought, why don’t we play a game?
Jimin
What kind of game?
Narrator
Jungkook explained the game.
Jungkook
The person who loose is going to make the dare that the winner wants
Lea
I’m in
Taehyung
Me too
Jimin
Okay, let’s play then
Narrator
The game basically consists in dancing, but as it is going, the difficulty is higher.
Narrator
It started in pairs.
Narrator
There was a lot of sharing of looks.
Narrator
Mostly by Jimin and Lea.
Narrator
Meanwhile in the studio…
Jin
This is perfect
Hoseok
I know
Yoongi
Namjoon, are you here?
Narrator
Namjoon zoned out a couple minutes ago.
Namjoon
Huh?
Yoongi
What are you thinking? Do you think we have to change something?
Namjoon
No, I don’t think so
Jin
Are you okay?
Namjoon
I- I’m a little bit worried
Hoseok
If it’s because of the boys, they’re fine
Hoseok
They are with Lea
Namjoon
Exactly
Jin
I don’t think…
Jin
Okay, you have a point
Yoongi
Enough. They are fine, we shouldn’t worry about it
Yoongi
If you’re all concerned, invite her to the house so we can have a dinner together. They are going to be in one piece
Yoongi
Okay?
Hoseok
Geez… okay
Narrator
Jin, Hoseok and Namjoon nod.
Narrator
Something inside Namjoon tells him that Yoongi doesn’t like Lea at all.
Narrator
It’s been weeks since they met her. But he is the only one who seems to not care at all.
Narrator
Let’s be real, Yoongi is literally giving her an opportunity, in his own way.
Narrator
But he is not going to show it.
Narrator
Jimin, Taehyung, Jungkook and Lea ended up tired but laughing.
Narrator
This game helped to break the ice.
Lea
I forgot how fun is dancing
Taehyung
You did it great, I didn’t expect the spin
Jimin
And the split
Lea
Me neither
Narrator
The boys laugh.
Jungkook
I think we all won…
Jimin
Huh, that’s unexpected
Narrator
Lea is silent watching them, she was a little bit exhausted.
Jimin
How do you feel?
Lea
Just tired…
Taehyung
Mhm
Narrator
Taehyung makes a flirty look unconsiously.
Taehyung
Are you reaaaaaally tired?
Narrator
He put his face near hers. She doesn’t react.
Jimin
What do you want to do, so you won’t be tired?
Narrator
Jimin also gets close to her face.
Narrator
Jungkook stares at the scene in front of him curious.
Lea
What do you have in mind?
Narrator
She followed the play with a smirk.
Jungkook
That hurt
Lea
You attacked first
Jimin
Hey!
Taehyung
Peace wasn’t an option
Narrator
After another pillow attack, they ended up lying on the bed.
Narrator
Jungkook and Lea were on Jimin’s lap and stomach, and Tae was on Lea’s lap.
Jin
What’s going on here?
