"I think it's fate. Do you think this is fate?" His face formed a small grin.

"Fate? You're kidding me, right? He lives around here and this is the only mart in our neighbourhood. Of course I'd bump into him. Seoul may be big but this neighbourhood is small," I waved my hands in front of him.

"I don't know. You said that Jimin's been cheating on you before this so I thought that maybe meeting Taehyung hyung is a fate," He shrugged his shoulders. I was taken aback by what he said but decided to ignore it.

Soon, the bathroom door clicked open and Taehyung joined us after doing his business.

"What do you guys want to drink? Orange juice? Water? Coke? Don't say beer cause I don't have any in my home," I asked them.

"Water is fine for me," Taehyung said as he sat down on the couch opposite of us.

"Geez, why are you treating us like we're VIPs or something? Chill sister, we can get them ourselves," Jungkook stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

I sighed and returned my attention to Taehyung who was sitting in front of me.

"So, nice home you got here," He said and I could sense he was looking for a topic to talk about in order to get rid of the awkwardness.

"Pretty sure yours is way more superb than this," I stressed out the word 'way' in which he just chuckled in return.

"I've heard that you went to the same school as Jungkook. If that's the case, then your previous high school would be Gangnam High School, right?" I interrogated him.

"Yup, got out of high school three years ago. And what about you?" He asked me.

"I go to Seoul Arts High School. My last year here," I replied to him. "I have a few friends from Gangnam High School. Maybe you'd know them."

"Really? Hit me up, maybe their names would ring a bell," Taehyung crossed his arms across his chest.

"Kim Seokjin?" I questioned him and he immediately threw his head back.

"Ah, that guy. I'm close to him, he's like my mother. He takes good care of me when I'm at school, he still does. Sometimes he makes me feel caged you know, because he keeps on telling me what's good to do and what's not," He motioned with his fingers the shape of a cage and I tried to bit back my lip from laughing. "Anyone else?"

"Kim Namjoon?"

"Don't get me started on that guy. He's always in detention because he breaks almost everything he touches especially in the science lab. Even people who aren't in the same year as him would know that he breaks thing. His middle name is breaker, Kim Breaker."

"Omg," I stifled my laugh. "Then, what about Min Yoongi?"

"Ahhhh that hyung. As sweet as a sugar. If you walk past him, there won't be a minute that you don't hear him rapping. Girls go crazy for him because he's the epitome of a sugar cube. You need it to make your tea perfect, in other words, you need him to make your day perfect," He formed a box with his hands, representing a sugar cube.

"Okay, last one. Jung Hoseok?" I asked him.

"Who? Don't even mention his name. He's famous in school for winning all the dance competitions. People call him the dancing machine," He pointed out the flamboyancy of Hoseok's movements which I can totally relate to.

Jungkook came back with a tray of freshly squeezed orange juices and put them on the table in front of us.

"What have you guys been talking about?" He asked as he plopped down on the couch beside me.

"Nothing, I was just asking about the people I knew from your school," I pointed to Taehyung.

"Yeah, we were just talking about that. You know Kim Namjoon, right Jungkook?" Taehyung asked Jungkook.

"Ahhh," Jungkook's face lit up, "That Kim Breaker hyung?"

Taehyung gave me a look of victory, proving to me that everyone in school knows he's famous for breaking things.

"By the way, why are you so diligent in making orange juice for all of us? Taehyung said that he only wanted water," I pointed to the glasses of orange juice in front of us.

"Yah, is that what you normally give to your guest? Plain water?" Jungkook smacked my head in which I replied by pulling his hair out.

"Aigoo, you guys act like real siblings. Cute," Taehyung laughed at us.

Nothing much happened after that, just Taehyung watching me and Jungkook bicker at each other while making some random conversation with him.

I wish that I can do this with Jimin everyday, but oh well. He's too busy sending his brother to soccer practice everyday.

UPDATE: 9th Feb 2021
Hey guys! I haven't been on wattpad in SO LONG and I just decided to pop up and see if anything's changed. I noticed that some of the readers were pointing out how it was rude of me to relate Hoseok to a horse in some parts of the dialogue and I just realised it is indeed true, thus I removed the horse part and made some changes to the script. I didn't know he didn't like people calling him a horse as I wrote that part WAY before Hoseok said it himself, like I literally didn't know. And I've even forgotten that I put that in this book. As an ARMY I would never purposely call them insulting names or make insulting comparisons. And the purpose of me changing that part is because Hoseok didn't deserve to be called that since he doesn't like that and I'm truly sorry towards you, Jung Hoseok if you're reading this.

If you still read the novel beyond this chapter despite the mistake I made, thanks for understanding the fact that I'm a human being and prone to making mistakes and learning from them, just like how you guys are! I appreciate you. It doesn't matter if you wanna continue reading this or not, I write this book to express my imaginations, not to gain reads. Not anyone's loss in this matter. I'm pretty sure there are many great authors out there.

If you have come this far, thank you!

P.S. I welcome constructive criticism but I do not entertain insults. Have a nice day.
