Ria's House
In the dim glow of the living room, Jungkook and Jimin were locked in intense concentration, their fingers clicking furiously on their controllers as their avatars moved across the screen.
The air was thick with playful rivalry.
Jungkook let out a triumphant laugh as his character defeated Jimin's, the screen flashing victory.
"Better luck next time, hyung. Maybe you're just getting old?"
Jimin rolled his eyes, scoffing. "I let you win, kid. Can't have you feeling inferior all the time."
Just then, a loud knock broke the atmosphere. Both of them exchanged a puzzled look. Jimin raised an eyebrow, his fingers still resting on the controller.
"Who could that be at this hour?"
Jungkook shrugged, and they both headed to the door. As they opened it, they were met with Suga's frustrated expression and Jhope's mildly concerned face.
"Is Taehyung here?" Suga demanded, his voice taut with anxiety. "Why the heck is his phone off?"
Jhope, more patient, gave a small grin. "We've been trying to reach him for hours."
Jimin gestured them inside, but before Suga could get another word out, Jimin held up a hand, his smirk returning.
"Yeah, Tae's here, but he's... uh, let's just say he's 'occupied.' You know, busy with... something important."
Jungkook chuckled, leaning against the doorframe. "Yeah, very important. Don't want to interrupt that, trust me."
Suga's eyes narrowed, suspicious. "What kind of important? What's he up to?"
Jimin exchanged a mischievous glance with Jungkook before leaning in.
"Well... Taehyung and Ria are... spending quality time in a personal way. You get it?" he said with a wink.
Jhope immediately caught on, covering his mouth to stifle a laugh, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "Ohhh, I see. So, it's that kind of 'important.'"
Jimin nodded sagely. "Yep. So, unless you want to interrupt their... personal bonding, maybe you could wait a little?"
Suga exhaled, his patience wearing thin."I'm not here to interrupt anything, I just—" He paused, clearly trying to gather his thoughts. "Fine, I'll wait."
After about ten minutes of light banter and the ticking clock, footsteps approached the stairs. Taehyung and Ria appeared hand in hand, their faces glowing, eyes locked in a quiet, contented gaze.
But their bliss didn't go unnoticed—Jungkook and Jimin immediately jumped in, grinning widely.
Jimin leaned over to Jungkook, his voice just loud enough. "Looks like someone's been enjoying a little... private catch-up, huh?"
