A friend is one who overlooks your broken fence and admires the flowers in your garden

"Let's win this Jungkook", he said to himself.

Ara got to know that she was placed in the same team as Jin's. Don't know why but, she has created a soft spot for him when he risked it all, fighting for her. And those damn sweet words from his mouth is making her feel something different.

The three brothers went to their house. And as usual had their jokes, watched Netflix, and snuggled into their respective beds.

Eomma, don't leave me

Kookie, you will be better with uncle

Eomma, please stay with us.

Kookie, stay with your uncle okay?

Eomma nooo!

Jungkook woke up screaming while Yoongi and Jin rushed to his room.

"Jungkook ah, are you alright?"

"Is it the same nightmare again?" Yoongi asked while Jungkook just nodded still scared.

Something which haunts Jungkook since his childhood is his nightmares, ever since Jungkook's mother left the responsibility of him to her brother, he had these coming. He lost the warmth of a mother's presence and clearly hated her for leaving him like that.

Jin and Yoongi hugged him and consoled him. This is the most vulnerable state of him, no one has ever seen it except his brothers. Jin got some ice creams from the fridge and gave it to his little brother and Yoongi also grabbed one. They know their kook loves ice-creams.

"Jungkook ah what do I do when the ice-cream melts"

"Jin, nooo!"

"I SCREAM", Jungkook laughed and Jin joined with his windshield wiper laugh.

"And what do you call an ice cream that partied too hard?"

Jungkook and Yoongi looked at each other and realised he is not going to stop it.

"Just say it", Yoongi was already tired

"Out of CONEtrol", and he laughed. Jungkook laughed at his silliness. He made a series of jokes and Jungkook finally felt relaxed. The three crashed on Jungkook's bed and slept like pandas cuddling each other.

#####

Seoul National University

The students who were participating in the fest organisation contest were given relaxation of few classes. An added fun to all the people here except for Namjoon and Hana, who can't breathe a minute without studying.

Team 1 assembled

"I don't know how to start this thing?", Namjoon was so confused with the thing.

"Why don't we just jot down whatever ideas we get for today and get them arranged tomorrow", Yuna spoke very casually.

"That actually looks fine", Jungkook agreed and Yuna just gave him a look that resembles I don't need your damn approval.

"Whatever", Yoongi finally spoke

"Let's go ahead in that way", Hoseok also liked the thought. While Soo Ah didn't give a damn to what they are doing. She just joined the team because Ara was excited and that's all. Moreover Being with Yuna, she is fighting her urge to shout at her and throw a punch at her.

"Are you okay with this thing Soo Ah?", Namjoon asked breaking her chain of thoughts.

"I am fine with whatever you do", she got up and left.

"I don't think she is actually interested in this", Namjoon saw her zoning out.

"She would have been if I am not here", Yuna just spoke without any emotion and left from there.

"What's wrong with these two?", Hoseok felt concerned feeling the tension between the two girls.

"I am sure they must have had a fight or something", Yoongi joined

"Let's help them then"

"What do you mean Namjoon hyung?", Jungkook isn't at all interested in involving into someone else's business.

"See, we are friends, as of now. We are a team too. We must help each other", Namjoon was speaking. He remembers Kyunghee telling that she wants to put Yuna and Soo Ah in the same team and agreed without asking any further questions. He now felt something is surely wrong between those two.

"I don't know hyung, but I don't feel it right to involve in their personal matters when we are not even close to them. We just knew them yesterday", Jungkook was not at all interested in the idea.

"I am sure you know the girl who kicked your balls in the canteen", Hoseok chuckled at yooongi's statement while Jungkook glared at his brother.

"Whatever, let's just think about that later and concentrate on the plan. Get your minds to work and bring some creative ideas and not the boring ones", Hoseok stood up and eyed at Yoongi. Everyone nodded and dispersed.

Team 2 assembled

"See, I am completely clueless about this event. I am already warning you all about me in advance", Hana is surely not related to this thing.

"Well, don't worry Hana, We have Taehyung. He is enough for all of us", Jimin spoke while Hana just nodded not wanting to create any awkwardness.

Jin joined them

"So how is she? It would be nice if she is here too", Kyunghee was disappointed that Ara couldn't come.

"You all know how badly I want her here too. But she needs to recover too", Jin whined like a kid while others smiled at his cuteness. Ara took a leave for the day since she was a bit sick. Jin kept on texting her, and she felt warm at his caring nature. Though her insecurities always held her from replying, she couldn't stop when he was shooting hundreds of messages without a stop. He even called her if she is fine in the morning, as he knows how violent she could be when he disturbs her sleep during night.

"Ara will surely love you if you be like this", Hana encouraged.

"Thank you Hana"

"Well coming to the plan, how do we start?", Kyunghee put a pen on her open notebook and is drawing stupid patterns and suddenly Taehyung took the pen from her hold and leaned in to reach the book. Kyunghee glared at him for his sudden act. Jimin smiled at them. Seeing Jimin like that made Kyunghee blush. Little did she know Taehyung noticed it.

"Well, let's just not sit and waste our time like clubbing our ideas and jotting down the points. Everybody does that. Let's have a clear strategy", Taehyung started and drew everyone's attention towards him.

"So, the important thing is we are having 7 days. It will be fun to have the fest for the whole week, but people must not be tired in the initial days itself", Everyone nodded

"Why don't we have a party at the start, initiating the fest", Jin spoke out his idea.

"That's a good one, people would gather and meet more people, find friends and form bigger squads, I agree with it Jin hyung. The night of the first day, we will have a Garden party sort of thing"

"If that's the case, we will have DJ at the end", Kyunghee joined but looked at Jimin and he nodded his head in approval.

"And what about the food?", Jimin asked since fests are all about the variety of food.

"Well! Don't worry about the food. I am really good at planning that, so leave it to me. Just give me two days time and I will list out the plan", Jin was proud of his skills when related to food.

"Hyung, I am sure you will nail it. So, take help from Ara as well and get the plan as early as possible", Jin nooded

"Jimin!! ", he paused "You and Kyunghee will get the information about where to get the lights that suit the garden party and the disco lights for DJ night. And also the list of important items required. Remember we have to get them in bulk and the cost must not be high and don't even compromise about the quality", Taehyung spoke in a professional way and both of them nodded.

"So, I will plan on getting the list of available and potential sponsors", he spoke with the same tone.

"And Hana, we need to know what the students want too, our interests are of great importance, so I want you to create a poll kind of thing or a survey to get their opinions and post it on the student community website", Hana just nodded.

"So shall we disperse and meet tomorrow?", Jimin asked and everyone got up to leave.

"Hana, shall we talk for a bit?", Taehyung held Hana's hand

"What is there more to talk?", Kyunghee snapped immediately.

"Kyunghee, please. I have some things to sort out. Hana is still my friend.", he asked with pleading eyes.

"It's okay Kyunghee, leave us for a minute okay? " and Kyunghee left from there.

"How are you?"

"I am fine Taehyung. And you?"

"I am okay. Well, Kyunghee is still mad at me right?"

And Hana just nodded in agreement.

"Hana, I know things between us are actually not good. But trust me, I still want to be friends with you. We broke up but still none of us cheated on each other. I know I dumped you first, but I just want to be true to my feelings, I don't want to give you any false hopes and disappoint you. We are slowly bonding with new people, and we all might grow close in the near future. I don't want it to be awkward for us Hana. I still care for you like a friend. Let's be normal and have a fresh start. Let's be friends"

What he said was right. It's over as of now. Neither of them feel for each other in the same way now. They were friends once, why not be like that then.

"Hey Taehyung, even I was thinking about it, I know. But you know its isn't that easy for me. It will take time, but I promise I will try my 100 percent to heal my friendship with you."

"Thanks Hana", he hugged her to her utter shock while she didn't respond anything.

"I'll be leaving then" and he left.

#####

As Hana was walking to the library to create the post, she felt someone walking beside her.

"Hey", she knew the owner of the voice. She didn't respond anything.

"How's your leg?"

"Good enough to kick your balls"

"Oh my!, you are so furious. What happened?"

"None of your business Jungkook"

"Oh! I am offended", he posed like he was hurt in the heart.

"Are you hit in the head or what?"

"Nope, I was just about to ask you the same thing"

"Idiotic jerk", she scoffed

"Do you have any names left for me, I mean jerk, idiot, bastard, dickhead, etc... Oh my god, I can't even remember all", he imitated her.

"What's your problem?", she was irritated.

"What's that with Taehyung?", he asked

"What?"

"What were you doing alone over there?", he stared at her wanting for an answer.

"So you peeked, isn't that invading someone's privacy", she was surprised he saw her with Taehyung.

"Well!, the college never mentioned some places were owned by you", he spoke with a tone of sarcasm.

"Whatever it is, I don't need to give any explanation", she scowled.

"I am just concerned about my friend Tae okay? I don't want him to end up with you again"

"Just shut up now. How we are and what we do, why are you even concerned?", she yelled

"Oh come on, don't shout darling. I don't want anyone to think of us as a couple who are having their sweet fights", he smirked.

"Fuck off", she was more than irritated.

"Anyway, all the best. I hope you really do well and still lose", he pouted.

"Just get lost now", she was mad at him. So mad that she is ready to boil him in a hot pot.

He laughed at her getting furious and left away waving a big bye to her.

"Such an idiot!!", she stomped her feet and left to the library.

#####

Kyunghee and Jimin went in search. First they searched in online and made a list. They planned for a while and Jimin got bored.

"I never thought that idiot will give this boring work to us", he spoke

"He is an idiot after all"

"Do you still hate him?"

"Doesn't it look like that? I hate him with every drop of blood in my body", she was furiated.

"You used to pamper him a lot back then in high school", Jimin smiled remembering those moments.

"And you used to cry because a girl proposed you and you didn't want to reject her", she snapped back.

"Those were really good old moments, though Hana was never with us"

"Eonnie had her reasons Jimin"

"I am not complaining. But she is changing now maybe, she is talking to all of us. She never did that. It was always either you or Yuna"

"I know and I am happy for her"

"I still wonder how a dangerous girl like Yuna became your friend, did she ever hit you?", he chucked.

"No, no , not at all. But if you want to taste her kick, just make me or Hana cry", she laughed and he smiled along with her.

"Why don't you befriend Taehyung again? He misses you a lot", Jimin suddenly made the situation serious.

"I don't know. I don't think it's gonna happen", she sulked at the thought of Taehyung.

"I know how much you care about him. You never left him in high school. He was your best friend then. I know he gave up on Hana, but do you think that is a right reason to hate him?"

Jimin had a point and was smooth in turning the words favouring Taehyung. Kyunghee for once stopped and thought about it. And again she slapped herself for thinking about it. She is not gonna forgive him at all.

"It's okay, take your time to think about it okay?", as usual he ruffled her hair and she blushed at his simple and lovely action. Jimin always ruffles her hair to cheer her up.

"Shall we listen to some songs", he passed her an earphone and put one in his earphone and listened to their favourite music from TXT.

Unaware that a pair of eyes were looking at them.

#####

"Yuna messaged me her ideas and so did Yoongi hyung. I will sort it out by tonight Namjoon hyung", Jungkook spoke thinking how to arrange them.

"Here is mine", a jumping Hoseok came with his ideas on paper.

"I still have some in my mind. I will complete the list by tonight and message you by then", Namjoon spoke.

"Did you hear anything from Soo Ah?", Hoseok asked while both of them shook their heads in a big no-no.

"I will ask her if I see her", Namjoon spoke and the other two nodded.

"Had Taehyung been here, the work would have been easy.", Hoseok frowned.

"I know", Namjoon nodded

"Then why did you send him there?", Jungkook asked.

"I have my reasons boy", he smiled at Jungkook and he looked confused.

#####

Namjoon saw Soo Ah leaving the college and followed her.

"Hey"

"Oh hi", she looked at him in bewilderment.

"Going home?", he asked while she nodded.

"Can I walk you home?"

"No, thank you", she pressed her lips into a thin line. There was a silence for a while Namjoon was still walking by her side.

"I actually want to ask if you had got any ideas"

"I said you I am okay with anything you bring up"

"Hey! It's not the case, we want everyone involved. It doesn't just make everything good but also, we can bond more.", he said smiling like an idiot.

"See, I don't want to involve in anything. I am doing this for someone else"

"You are doing this for Ara right?", she just looked at him blankly.

"Isn't everything okay between you and Yuna", she just glared at him not giving a reply

"Did you two fight or something?", he is not stopping.

"will you stop bombarding me with questions that has nothing to do with you?", she yelled at him and he stopped immediately. He saw her expression change into anger and something else. He saw her eyes getting red and her urge to hold back her tears.

"I am sorry, I actual....", he was shocked when she lit up a cigarette and started smoking. He immediately took it from her hold and threw it away.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?", she glared at him.

"Why are you even smoking at such an age?", he asked angrily

"Why does it bother you? Now that I am smoking, I am sure you won't like me as a friend. I know everyone's the same", she was about to turn and go away but Namjoon held her hand.

"Hey! You are still my friend. Smoking would kill you, I am concerned about it. That's all. Hope you be alright. I will be leaving now", he spoke and went away while Soo Ah looked at his vanishing figure.

#####

"Why are you back of me, dickhead?"

"Just tell me, did you and Taehyung patch up?"

"Why are you so bothered about it?"

"Just tell me the answer and I will leave"

"We kind of patched up okay? Now leave me in peace", she was so done with him. He was pestering her wherever he finds her; the pathway, garden, café and even now. She doesn't like people being back of her like that, yet she was so persistent in not answering his question.

"What do you mean? Are you together again?", he widened his eyes

"Nope, not like that. We are friends now", and he sighed in relief while she looked at him perplexed.

"I really felt very bad for Taehyung you know? Poor soul Taehyung", he fake cried and she sulked with the drama in front of her. Something went in her eyes and she started rubbing. But it isn't helping.

"Hey! Doing that only makes more trouble", he tried to stop her.

"Not your concern", she was busy rubbing her eyes. He stepped closer to her and pulled her hand which was rubbing her eyes more furiously, and she was just blinking trying to process what he was doing.

"Let me help you", she wanted to decline his offer but was too late. Holding her one hand and standing just a few inches far from her, he leaned in closer and blow air through her eyes. She could feel his hot breath fanning her face.

"Is it still there?", she nodded as one blow didn't actually clear the dust in her eyes.

He leaned in close again and blew a few times more. She could feel the things heating up. His proximity is making her nervous. She has never experienced this feeling of nervousness before.

"It's gone", she said finally being relieved. But he stood there still not moving a bit.

"What?", she asked him

"You eyes", he just mumbled

"What my eyes?", she asked in confusion.

"They tell me a different story".
