Ch.17
The plan wasn't genius. It wasn't terrible or anything like that but calling it smart would be stupid. This was going to get all of you in more trouble. You tried bringing that up to them, but they said it didn't matter anymore. This plan would apparently teach the older members that the first years don't need a babysitter. Anything to get everyone their freedom back. Taehyung and Jungkook didn't want to get scolded again while Jimin and you wanted privacy. Hoseok had no idea that any plan was in motion today. The day the four of you came up with a plan, Hoseok searched everywhere but Mr. Pyo's classroom. He figured all of you would have left already and didn't see why Jimin would go in there. He was absolutely clueless.
Taehyung mainly came up with the plan while Jungkook and Jimin added a few things. Sadly, you didn't participate on their shenanigans. That was sarcasm. They wouldn't change their minds about this plan. You wanted something that would actually help you be welcomed back into the warehouse. This was going to possibly get you banned. It was too late anyway. Jungkook and Taehyung gave each other a nod as class ended. Jungkook was going to walk with you to the usual spot while Taehyung would cause something in the hall. Hoseok would handle him, not noticing that Jimin hadn't arrived. Every day, the school's janitor enters the campus after the first class. Jimin was going to steal his keys to open and lock any doors on campus.
There was no need for the plan to be this extra, but Taehyung insisted. Once Jimin got the keys, he would give them to Jungkook to protect. That's when Jungkook pulled you out of your seat towards the window sill. He sat next to you with his arm over your shoulder. It was a little embarrassing since it was just the two of you in the hall this time. No Taehyung or Jimin standing by. It made the two of you appear like a couple. What are you thinking right now? You're supposed to be focusing on this ridiculous plan! Shaking off those weird thoughts, the two of you soon heard Taehyung's screaming. Mr. Pyo was coming down the hall with Taehyung attached to his leg like a child. Hoseok was trying to handle the situation, but Mr. Pyo didn't want to see either of them.
"Mr. Pyo, I have Daddy issues!" Taehyung cried out, scrunching his face like he was in pure agony.
"Get off me or I'm giving you detention!" Mr. Pyo shouted.
"Do you remember me, Mr. Pyo? I'm Taehyung's friend! I don't know why he's acting like this," Hoseok said to get a glare from the adult.
Jungkook let out a snort at the scene. Hoseok was trying his best as the babysitter. He didn't sign up for this, but it had to be done. While Hoseok handled the troubled Taehyung, you randomly heard a disapproving grunt. Turning your head from the direction the sound came from, you saw Jimin staring at the two of you unhappily. Jungkook only raised his brow and snatched the keys that were in Jimin's fist. You patted the spot next to you and Jimin quickly took you up on your offer. He even made sure to push Jungkook's arm off to hold you. Why were these two acting like this all of a sudden? They were fighting and so you just stood up from the window sill. It got them to stop and worry about where you were going now. They were unbelievable.
The plan was still in motion. Jungkook frowned once Jimin took your hand, loudly announcing that you two had to go to physical education together. Shaking your head, you told the maknae goodbye before getting pulled away. From here, the plan would only get worse. Jimin was fully alert for the next steps while you didn't care anymore. He did admit that he found the plan stupid, but he couldn't think of anything else. Park Jimin was going to take the first route that he saw to get you back at the warehouse. It did make you appreciate the plan a little more. It also made you note how mature and logical Jimin was compared to the other first years. He still had a typical conscious compared to the other members. After physical education class ended, it was time to continue the plan.
Hoseok had appeared like planned. He was waiting for the two of you outside the changing rooms. Jimin and you gave each other a subtle glance as the red head happily waved. The both of you were going to act like how you normally did. Hoseok came with you guys outside of the cafeteria to eat with the other members. You made sure to take a look around your surroundings. Outside of the cafeteria wasn't like a balcony. It did lead to other parts of the campus, but it would take longer to travel from here. Each first year exchanged a secretive glance, smiling slightly. You hated to admit it, but even you were getting excited.
Lunch went by, but all the first years didn't leave early as usual. The third years were throwing away their trash inside and Namjoon went away to class. They didn't suspect a thing. Hoseok was getting a little impatient since he wanted to go to class but had to watch the kids. Taehyung finally stood up and you all followed suit. Jimin was the first to bolt inside the cafeteria, catching the third years before they completely left. Taehyung stopped holding the door open once him and you were inside. Hoseok had a grin on his face now that he could go to class now. Since Jungkook had the door closed on him, it gave him the moment to pause to pull out the special keys. He opened the door slightly and slipped inside with ease. Jungkook instantly closed the door on Hoseok, locking him out with the keys.
"Jeon Jungkook!" Hoseok's voice was muffled as he shouted. "Yah! Open the door!" He banged on the glass doors. Jungkook simply waved at him with a smirk. Taehyung and you turned your heads to see Jimin sliding his hand in Seokjin's pocket. Jimin is good at being sneaky, but the eldest moved slightly. Not enough for Seokjin to take notice but for Yoongi to realize what was going on.
"Run!" Taehyung shouted. Jimin had the keys for the truck and bolted out with everyone else. Jungkook stopped teasing Hoseok and pushed you forward. The older members were going to punish all of you.
"He has your keys!" Yoongi shouted to have Seokjin panic. "D*mn it, they locked out Hoseok!"
"What? How!?" Seokjin gasped.
"Get Namjoon!"
Adrenaline was pumping through your veins as you ran with the boys. Part of the plan was to skip all the classes after lunch. You guys were going to the warehouse now! Normally, you were never this fast but you were able to catch up to Jimin and Taehyung. Jungkook was in the lead, running with the car keys that Jimin had thrown at him. He was the fastest out of everyone, so he was going to start the truck. The four of you were passing the school gates. This was actually happening!? You almost wanted to throw your hands up in the air in delight until you heard feet pounding behind you. The three of you turned around to see Seokjin, Yoongi, and Namjoon chasing you. Namjoon was behind the third years and Hoseok was nowhere in sight. They still weren't fast enough to catch the three of you.
Jungkook was already in the car, turning on the engine. Taehyung jumped in the back while Jimin opened the door for you and him to enter. The two of you were panting, nervous to see the older members coming closer.
"Move the car!" Jimin yelled.
"I don't know how!" Jungkook replied back.
"Move out of the way." Jimin jumped into the front seat, not sure on what to do himself.
"Guys, hurry up! They're coming!" Taehyung shouted from the window in the back.
"I'm trying," Jimin said before randomly moving the stick shift in a certain direction and pressing the gas. The car lurched forward as Seokjin and Yoongi were less than ten feet away. "We're moving!"
The truck started moving quickly. The third years were shouting angrily as Taehyung stuck his tongue out at them. Jungkook gave you a stinging high five at the plan's success. You didn't actually think this would work. Your heart was racing, but you were somehow having fun. Still, you'd rather not pull another stunt like this again. Jimin was also trying to understand how to drive Seokjin's car while driving. None of the first years knew how to drive and it's not like you guys were legally allowed to. Only Seokjin was of age and Yoongi had to wait one more year. Right when Jimin was close to exiting the school's parking lot, a flash of red jumped in front of the moving vehicle.
"No!" Hoseok stood like a starfish. Everyone in the car was screaming at the top of their lungs at this point. Jimin slammed his foot on the brake pedal, making all first years regret their decision for not wearing a seat belt. Hoseok pulled a dangerous move, but so did all four of you. Not as crazy as his though. By this time, the rest of the members came to the truck to open the doors. They were glaring at every one of you intensely.
"What the hell!?" They all shouted. Taehyung was rubbing his forehead, pouting to have been caught. Jimin instantly began spouting out apologies towards his hyungs. Seokjin shook his head, pulling his keys out of the ignition. Namjoon, Hoseok, and Yoongi pulled all of you out of the car. Namjoon held you tightly even though you weren't going to suddenly make another break for it. Taehyung was screaming in Yoongi's hold. Hoseok was trying his hardest to keep Jungkook's hands behind his backs. After Seokjin got his keys back, he brought Jimin out with no real force. Jimin was willing and ready to be scolded.
"May I ask why you guys thought any of this was a good idea?" Namjoon questioned.
"To be fair, I never thought it was a good idea," You stated.
"We just wanted to bring (F/n) to the warehouse. I'm sorry." Jimin avoided making eye contact with anyone.
"Hoseok was also becoming too much." Jungkook tried escaping Hoseok's hold again.
"He was fun at first, but then he felt like an obsessive stalker who wouldn't leave us alone." Taehyung frowned to earn a chuckle from Yoongi.
"Like that excuses any of your actions." Namjoon sighed.
"We never said they would," Jungkook remarked.
"Look! If you guys want (F/n) at the warehouse, then let's bring her to the warehouse." Seokjin crossed his arms. He was no longer holding Jimin by the shoulders. Each older member loosened their grip in shock at the eldest's words. The whole point of keeping you away was for your safety. It was Hoseok's job to make sure this wouldn't happen. First years were also baffled. "Let's take her. If the other gang sees her then who cares!"
"Seokjin-nim..." Jimin spoke, but the black hair shook his head.
"No! You first years are ridiculous! (F/n) isn't permanently banned." Seokjin scoffed in disbelief. "All of you should be ashamed."
"Yeah, we're brothers so why would you go behind our backs like that? You trapped Hoseok and stole Seokjin's keys." Namjoon eyed everyone down.
"This is so f*cking annoying. Can't we just say that it's (F/n)'s fault!?" Yoongi raised his voice.
Everyone looked towards him in surprise. You didn't look in his direction, but in the opposite way. At this point, you were getting used to him hating you. It was sad to say that. It did make things easier though. If you accustomed yourself to being hated then Yoongi's words wouldn't get to you as much. They still hurt, but there wasn't much you could do. You wanted to stay calm for as long as you could. The last thing you wanted was to give him a reason to hate you, but it seems like you manage to give him plenty without even trying. It was so confusing to have any kind of relationship with him. Seokjin groaned in frustration.
"Are you kidding me, Min Yoongi!?" Seokjin growled.
"What!? You got a problem with me? Then just say it! We're fine until this b*tchâ" Yoongi threw his hands into the air and you felt yourself snap.
"Don't call me that! You don't have the right to do that when you went out of your way to make my life hell!" You pointed to your chest. Only Namjoon and Hoseok didn't understand what you meant by that. They assumed that Yoongi was just mean to you. They didn't know about him being the source of the rumors. They didn't know any of that.
"You know what?" Yoongi marched up to you.
"Shut up!" Namjoon stepped in between the two of you.
Tension was forming in the gang and you felt like crying. Was it because of you? Did you destroy the tight relationships they all had with each other? The first years were so close knit and now it seems like Jungkook and Jimin fight for your attention. Seokjin and Yoongi can't get along once you're near them! Again, Yoongi's words were getting to you. Namjoon was getting frustrated with Yoongi for not being accepting of you, but sometimes you didn't know what to think. You were getting used to being hated by him, but that really didn't change anything. Before anything could escalate outside the school, all of you heard someone whistle in amusement. None of the members here were whistling though? All of you looked around to see a tall male come out from the bushes. His curly brown hair bounced with each step he took.
"What's going on here?" He stopped whistling, a smirk forming on his face.
"Woohyun." Yoongi growled.
"I've been meaning to ask for Myon. Who is that girl?" Woohyun tilted his head. "Sounds like her name is (F/n)."
"So?" Yoongi huffed in annoyance. Seokjin stood in front of you protectively and Namjoon took your hand. He pushed your farther back for protection. Soon you were hiding behind Jungkook as the scene went down.
"Why do you think?" Woohyun let out a quick chuckle. He was more straight forward than Myon and didn't bother with a façade. He was equally terrifying and their maknae. "I'm sure you get what I'm implying."
"Don't bother. You'll be wasting your time if you're growing an interest in her because of us." Yoongi shoved his hands in his pockets. "She's nothing, but annoying to us." Seokjin didn't defend you this time. He was being smart about his timing since Yoongi was actually kind of helping. They probably didn't believe him, but if he insisted that you were just a bother then why would should Myon's gang care about you?
"Sure." Woohyun laughed, leaning against the brick wall of the school.
"Just get lost already." Yoongi looked away, not caring for the conversation anymore. Each member glared at Woohyun. The curly hair finally lifted his hands and started walking away from where he came. A huge sigh of relief escaped everyone's lips to see him disappear. Yoongi turned back to face the only girl. You. "If you want to come to the warehouse then fine, but you're going to have to deal with gross shady motherf*ckers like Myon, Woohyun, and more. You're more than welcome!" He walked past you, his shoulder purposely hitting yours.
"Are you okay?" Seokjin placed his hand on your shoulder and you nodded.
"Everyone, get in the truck. We're going to the warehouse then," Namjoon declared. He looked at you as all members got in the truck. "I would tell you to stay at school, but not if you don't have any of these guys with you. Woohyun is going to make things tougher at school."
"Does that mean I get my own babysitter?" You joked to see those cute dimples of his.
"We'll protect you no matter what. C'mon, let's go to the warehouse." Namjoon rubbed your back as you got in the truck with everyone else. The first years all cheered in excitement to have you back. Somehow the plan actually worked. Even though this did put a bigger target on your back at school, the boys were going to make sure the other gang wouldn't touch you. That made you feel safe to return to the warehouse again and that was enough.
