he seems cool

"What time is your soccer game Saturday?" Jimin asks Jungkook late on Sunday night.

Jungkook isn't listening. He's in the middle of playing Super Smash Bros with Taehyung. Jimin already lost, and he was doing his best to distract his friends, kicking at Taehyung and being a general annoyance. Pikachu summons a bolt of lightning from the sky, but not before Kirby transforms into a rock, sending a gravely-injured Pikachu flying off the map. Taehyung hangs his head in defeat.

"It's at two. You don't have to go, you know," Jungkook says.

Jimin ruffles his hair and picks up the empty popcorn bowl to refill it. "Of course we'll go! You don't have any other friends."

Jungkook mocks offense, but he knows Jimin's right. Taehyung groans. "I did not consent to this. Jungkookie, I love you, but two p.m. is way too early in the morning. That's, like, the middle of my second-to-last REM cycle."

Jungkook throws a pillow at Taehyung's head. "You're just lazy. I'm not buying you tickets to see Ariana Grande if you don't go to my game."

"You can't afford them anyway," Taehyung fires back. He leans over on the couch to hug Jungkook's arm. "But I'll still go. I can't wait to see our little Jungkookie score a goal!"

Jungkook tries and fails to shake him off. Jimin returns with the popcorn, then answers his cell phone that started ringing while he was in the kitchen. "Hello?"

Taehyung keeps squirming, so Jungkook smacks his hand over his friend's mouth. "Yeah, I'm home. You can drop it off, if you want, we aren't going anywhere. Okay, cool, I'll see you in a sec."

Jimin hangs up the phone. "Namjoon will be here in a few minutes. He's dropping off the sheet music for that song he wants me to sing."

Taehyung shrieks. "Namjoon is coming over? Warn a guy!" He turns to Jungkook. "Namjoon is the single hottest guy you'll ever meet. Well, besides Jin. But this is the kind of guy that looks at you and you forget your name." Taehyung falls back onto Jungkook's lap. "I don't know if your baby gay heart can handle it, Jungkookie."

Jungkook shoves Taehyung off of him and onto the floor. "How are you this dramatic?"

From the floor, Taehyung grins at Jungkook. "Someone needs to take a chill pill." This earns Taehyung a kick in the ribs.

The doorbell rings and Jimin gets up to answer it. "Hey, Namjoon. You can come in if you want."

For once, Jungkook can say that Taehyung is right. Namjoon is hands-down one of the most attractive men he's ever had the pleasure of looking at. He was tall, taller than Jungkook, with ash brown hair and a pair of glasses resting on his nose. He looked strong, and his jeans hugged his legs in all the right places. Jungkook tries not to choke on air when he hears Namjoon speak. "Thanks, Jimin. Is Taehyung around?"

"Hey, Joonie," Taehyung says from the floor.

All Namjoon can do is stare. He rolled his eyes then said, "This isn't the worst position I've seen you in." Then he turns to Jungkook. "I don't believe we've met. I'm Namjoon Kim. It's nice to meet you."

Namjoon has his hand stretched out toward Jungkook. Jungkook shakes Namjoon's hand. "I'm Jungkook. It's nice to meet you too."

Namjoon laughs. "It's good to know at least one of you weirdos is normal. When I first met Taehyung, he complimented me on how soft my hands were."

Jungkook snorts. "I have you beat. He shoved me into a janitor's closet and told me his plan to get the statistics teacher fired."

"Oh, you went to high school with them?" he says with a raised eyebrow. "That must've been interesting."

Jimin came back into the living room with his laptop and a flash drive. "Jungkookie is still in high school, actually," Jimin says. "He just needs time away from straight boy life every once in a while."

"Hey!" Jungkook said. "I can be gay in the privacy of my own bedroom, thank you very much." Taehyung is cackling on the floor. "And I'm legally an adult now so suck my dick."

"You've been a legal adult for three weeks, shut your ass up," Taehyung says.

"Anyway," Jimin interrupts. "Thanks for the music, Namjoon. I'll record a sample when I get into the studio."

Namjoon smiles. "No, thank you. I haven't been able to find the right voice for my song, and you're really helping me out." He makes his way to the door of the apartment. "I'll see you guys later. It was nice meeting you, Jungkook!"

"Likewise!" Jungkook says, as his two best friends shout their goodbyes. Namjoon closes the door behind him.

Taehyung stares at him. "Well? Isn't he a hunk?"

"I guess," Jungkook shrugs. "He seems cool."
