Chapter Text
”I hope you know this is all your fault Seokjin.” You glanced over at the other male in the hallway with you. ”Yours too Tae-Tae. I’m gonna get to you later though." You huffed. "None of this would have happened if you two would have just let me stay at home for the night. You know like I usually do, instead of making me come to this stupid party you guys just had to throw.”
The first party of the school year is always one of the best; or at least that’s what you always heard from the snippets of those movies you caught your younger sister watching as you passed by the living room on your way to the kitchen.
Or from all the stories you ended up being subjected to by your best friend, Seokjin.
Seokjin.
One of the popular boys in your town.
The one everyone else knows as Jin.
The two of you have been together since before either of you can remember. Growing up you were inseparable; taking dance and karate classes together because you pleaded to him with those puppy eyes of yours that it wouldn’t be fun unless he was by your side. Begging your parents to take both of you out for ice cream at the park near your homes in the summer. Even begging them to let you raise a puppy together (that’s where both sets of parents drew the line however. Instead of a puppy, they let the two of you pick out a few fish to raise together as a compromise since having a dog was a ‘grown up’ thing apparently).
Attached at the hip you two were.
Even when the time of going to middle school arrived and you were all but shunned by everyone else because you weren’t ‘girly’ enough for their liking and didn’t bend to all of their needs; he still stayed with you. He still stood up for you whenever someone tried to bully you and he happened to be around.
Even if he was the eldest member of Bangtan, a group of seven boys who ruled the school, he still stuck with you, through thick and thin.
That’s what made you start thinking about wanting Jin as more than just a best friend; his undying support and trust in you. Sure you two still did almost everything together; almost because let’s face it, he was hot. He had girls all over school confessing to him. He even took some of them out on dates, although you protested the whole drive home from school on those days until the moment he left his house to go pick up said dates and you walked next door to your own home.
You knew that he knew you didn’t like him going out with these girls. And you were sure that he thought it was because you were being an overprotective little sister. Not because you had developed a crush over him.
No, no one knew that you liked Jin. Well except for V and Jungkook, two of the youngest boys in Bangtan. Only V has known since the day Jin dragged you into their hideout to introduce you to all of them however.
~flashback~
“Everyone, listen up." He pushed you farther into the room of the six other boys. “This is MoMo. Please take care of her if I’m ever gone. And don’t let me catch you doing anything that upsets her. Or you know what’ll happen.”
You scoffed and rolled your eyes at his introduction of yourself. “Sup," You threw up your signature peace sign next to your face, "The name is actually Monica, but I guess you can call me MoMo like this brat has been for the past who knows how many years." You heard someone mutter a '10 years you idiot' followed by a cough which came from Jin's direction. After side eyeing said boy you switched your focus directly to the blonde boy in front of you. "And I’m perfectly capable of taking care of myself if you piss me off thank you very much.”
Said blonde boy stood up from his seat and walked over to you, looking you up and down. Stopping right in front of you, he laughed. “I like her Jin. She’d fit in well here.” Rap Monster, or Namjoon as you call him because those gaudy names they have for each other are just a bit much, placed his hand on your shoulder as he spoke to you with a lowered voice, “Although we don’t really allow girls to join Bangtan, you’re welcome to.. If you think you can handle it.”
With a quick flick of your wrist, you had his lower arm in your grasp and spun clockwise so that you had his arm pinned behind his back. “I think I can handle being in the company of a couple of so-called thugs quite well don’t ya think?”
Everyone was speechless, mouths wide open.
Except for two of them.
One being the very own Jin, who was smirking at Rap Monster in a way that was telling him "I told you she'd fit in".
The other was an orange haired boy who had caught the look of adoration on his hyung’s face before he had turned to brag to their leader.
Said boy came up to you after all the others, who you learned to be Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, and Jungkook, and introduced himself as V.
“Another nickname huh? What’s your actual name kid?”
V cocked his head to the right before actually answering you (none of the others bothered to give you their real names, saying it took the fun out of everything).
“Well the piece of paper that people call a Birth Certificate says that I’m Kim Taehyung, but I don’t really know if I should believe it.”
You let out a burst of laughter, not expecting any of them to be so comedic with you at first. Looking back towards the boy however, you saw his head still cocked with a look of confusion.
“So they have an alien in their group do they.” You muttered before giving the boy a small smile, “Well Kim Taehyung, you are officially my favorite in this group so far I think.” You glanced over to where Jin and the others were laughing.
“I’m not the only one here that you like though am I.”
Your head snapped up to look at him, eyes wide, mouth opening to deny whatever it was that he was thinking.
“But you don’t have to worry about it, Monica you said it was right? I won’t say anything to hyung. You both just have to realize that you want the same thing.” He finished with a huge smile on his face, taking you by awe.
Ignoring his last sentence because you were too shocked in having someone who wasn’t Jin smile so openly at you, you smiled back just as big. I think I might have found another friend in this world you thought to yourself as the two of you joined the rest of the group.
Walking back to your house after meeting the Bangtan boys, you were silently thinking to yourself about what Taehyung had meant about needing to realize something, when an arm wrapped around your shoulders loosely and knocked you out of your thoughts.
Looking up, you found Jin staring at you.
“Uhhm. Can I help you sir?”
He was silent for a few more moments, face blank, before he spoke up, “You laughed back there."
"Am I not supposed to laugh now that I've joined some gang? Cause I'm pretty sure your butt laughs all the god damn time and you're in the freaking gang dude!"
Jin turned silent for a while and focused on where you were walking. Then he spoke up. "You never laugh at anyone other than me though.” He paused for a few more seconds, the two of you continuing to walk side by side through the woods. “There’s something about V that drew you into accepting the offer of joining isn’t there?”
You smiled softly. “He’s different. An alien in the human species.” You looked away from Jin and focused on the ground as you continued walking. “An alien. Like me.” You looked back up to see his face. “I found another alien." Jin looked as if he were going to say something so you spoke again. "I found someone who’s like me Seokjin. I found someone else who I am willing to let in. And if it means I have to join this stupid group you’re in to do so then so be it.” You huffed.
He laughed at your reasoning for accepting the invitation, pulling you closer to him as you walked the last few steps out of the woods and into your backyard.
That night as you thought of the idea of making a new friend, Jin was surrounded of thoughts of losing you to this new friend.
