PARK SOOMI'S POV

"Yo, hyung."

As soon as my brother turned around to meet me I threw the grocery bag at him from a few feet away, giving him barely enough time to catch it.

"I brought ice cream," I said and left to find a towel.

"Can't you be more gentle Soomi?" Jimin hissed under his breath. "The bag fucking hit my face!"

"Mom!" I shouted calling out our mother. "He is cursing again!"

"Mom is out at her job, idiot" He made a funny face as he sat down on the couch. "Why are you drenched like this? Go get changed before you catch a cold."

"It's raining outside, asshole!" I shout back at him as I scuff a dry towel on my face after retrieving it from the kitchen.

"Wow! Isn't asshole your favourite word? Can't you show some manner to your older brother? How many times did I—"

"You're only a year older than me!"

"But that means I got to breath, eat and poop a lot more than you. Show some respect!"

"Why are you here at this time anyway? Respect can kiss my ass." I stuck out my bum at his direction, and I could already see his nostrils flairing in the oncoming outburst of anget. As soon as he shot up, the doorbell rung.

"The lord saved you, now go get the door!" He screamed at me, his eyes almost bulging out of his sockets.

"As if you could do anything to me. Would've killed you before that." I murmured opening the front door to be met with Jungkook and Taehyung.

"Great timing. Thanks lord you guys are here." I smiled at them and stood aside so they could go in. It had stopped raining outside by then.

"Let's party, turn up!" Taehyung put his hands up in the air entering, Jungkook rolled his eyes.

"You always say that but it's not really a cool phrase hyung." He said that to Taehyung and turned to me. "So what are we doing tonight? Playing overwatch?"

Now it was my time to roll them eyes.

"Taetae hyung what do you wanna do?" I clung to both of their shoulders as the three of us entered the living room. Jimin waved at them and Jungkook took a seat next to him. I sat beside Jimin's other side and Taehyung sat beside me.

It wasn't that big of a couch and the four of us barely fit, even while crumpling in our limbs, but ever since we were kids we always sat right here.

"Why don't we watch moana? Or boss baby? Or-"

"Zootopia." Jungkook and I completed Taehyung's sentence in unison and laughed together. Taehyung only pouted in reply.

"How about my suggestion? Let's watch stranger things!" I cheered for myself but, none of them seemed interested.

"How about overwatch?" Jungkook said cautiously.

"Stranger things." I deadpanned.

"Zootopia?" Taehyung said this time.

"Stranger things," I deadpanned again.

"Okay okay." Both of them gave up and laid their backs on the couch letting out a sigh in unison.

"You don't have any suggestion, Jiminie hyung?" I asked Jimin who was sitting next to me, his eyes glued to his phone's screen.

"You wouldn't listen anyway. Let's watch stranger things." He put down his phone and said. I let out a sound of victory.

"We can also do what you guys wanted to do later. Thanks god, it's weekend tomorrow!" I laid back in the couch too, again making it harder for the other three as the space had become smaller. Our heads were adjoined when they groaned.

"What happened to you in class today?" Jungkook suddenly asked. "I've never seen you this much distracted and why did I— no, it looked like you knew the new guy?"

"You were stalking me Jungkook?" I queried. I could picture him rolling his eyes again.

"We're taking the same course and I sit behind you. Of course, I'd notice, even if I don't want to," he replied with a distasteful look on his face.

"Do you really know your new professor?" Jimin asked turning his head towards me.

"He just looked a bit similar to a kpop idol," I lied blatantly. "Plus, he's not even a professor. Just some random substitute."

"Or maybe you already like him that's why. Girl's are going nuts because he's young and handsome." Jungkook said and Taehyung laughed.

"I didn't know you viewed me as a girl, Jeon Jungkook."

"Nah, I look at you as a massive human potato," he said heaving a small sigh.

"By the way, how are your classes going Soomi?" Taehyung showed me his box shaped smile asking. "I wish I went to your college!"

"To see the handsome teacher?" I narrowed my eyes at him. "In all honesty, his face is shaped like an egg."

"My studies are, I guess they are going well," I added after a moment. "Professor Cha liked my last paper on the tempest, but he said I had to work on my vocabulary and forming my words, and grammar! In the level of creativity, I'm there but I guess I suck at the English language, still."

I ranted and Taehyung listened to it all with a smile on his face. Jimin and Jungkook were busy talking between themselves.

"College is indeed giving you a hard time." Taehyung put a hand inside his pocket and pulled something out. "Want some candy?"

"Don't tell me this is from some girl that likes you, then I'm not taking it."

"No, I bought this." He laughed and I took the candy bar from his hand.

"Just you see, I'm gonna get more chocolates than you this valentine."

"Okay okay." He ruffled my hair giggling to himself. "Oh, Soomi, I just remembered I've been getting help on my English from a friend. He just moved to Seoul a few days ago. Oh, and he lives in this neighborhood too!"

"You've been getting help to improve your English?" I repeated cocking an eyebrow.

"Yeah. There's a lot of foreign exchange students in my university, and, I'm bad at speaking English," he said shyly. "Anyway, he's the real deal. Want me to introduce you to him? I'm sure he wouldn't mind."

"I don't know..., I don't even know this guy." I replied hesitantly.

"Yeah but since he's my friend he is a friend you too, so, don't worry." He gave me a reassuring smile. "Want to visit his place tomorrow?"

"Okay... I guess."

***

"I can't believe I'm here to learn on a weekday." I groaned letting out a fake cry. "Did you tell your friend about me, hyung?"

"I did, I think." He made a face as if he couldn't remember.

"You clumsy ass!" I gave a light slap on his upper arm from the side.

"The place looks nice from outside though."

"I guess, but why isn't he opening the door?" I stared at the black front door of the apartment, and it glared at me back.

"The door is unlocked. He texted me to go inside." Taehyung informed as he read something from his phone. We both trudged inside after we pulled open the door.

"Looks neat inside too. Less messier than my room." I mumbled as we left our shoes by the doorframe, and walked inside the apartment in our socks. Right after the narrow corridor, there was the living room. Gigantic for one person, but scarcely furnished. "You know hyung, about the professor guy from the other day?"

"Yeah, what about him?" He sat on a couch on the living room and showed me the place next to him to sit down.

"I think he's a pervert."

"Taehyung, why didn't you tell me earlier that you'd come; oh my god! What are YOU doing here!"

My eyes went wide hearing a loud, familiar voice. When I looked up there was a sleepy mess standing front of me in pajamas.

Oh no. Not the asshole again!

A/n: there's been a lot of debate in the past because of Soomi referring to the older guys as 'hyung' instead of oppa.

There's a reason for that! I'm not butchering up/ disrespecting the Korean language. There's a girl idol called Sejeong and she calls older males hyung too instead of oppa.

Though Soomi has her own reasons, it's not THAT uncommon.
