I Need U

Min Sooyoung


Park Jimin


Cho Sunni


Min Yoongi

Yoongi huffed as he wiped the sweat off his brow, shaking his bangs out of his eyes. He swore they’d practiced at least a thousand times already, but promotions were soon, which meant lots of practice. He took a sip of water and slid his sweatshirt off, in just a plain black tee underneath. He tossed it aside, pushing his hair back out of his face as he got into position. He knew the dance by heart now, after doing it so many times, and to be honest, he could probably do it in his sleep.

Sooyoung dragged her friend down the corridor, towards the room where the loud music was coming from. She knew her older brother didn’t like it when she snuck into practice, because to him, she was just an annoyance, but she couldn’t help herself. She loved dancing, and she loved watching him and the guys dance. Especially Jimin. But she’d never mention that to her brother. She’d hate to imagine what his reaction would be if he knew she had a crush on one of his dongsaengs. She glanced back at Sunni, pressing her finger to her lips to signal her friend to be quiet. She didn’t want to disturb the practice, she just wanted to sit in and watch.

Jimin ran his hands through his hair as he took a drink. They had already been dancing for about six hours now but he knew it wasn’t over yet. He pulled his jacket off, tossing it aside as he smoothed out his black and white striped shirt. They were about to start again when he saw the door open and smirked whenever he saw Yoongi’s little sister and her friend creep in, trying to go unnoticed. Jimin nudged Taehyung who was standing next to him. “We have company.” He smirked.

Sunni followed Sooyoung into the room where her older brother and his friends were practicing. “You sure your brother won’t say something?” Sunni whispered as they sat down. She knew Jimin had spotted them, he gave a subtle wave and Sunni returned it before the music started again and the boys began moving in an even flow.

Yoongi didn’t notice his sister and her friend come in at first, lost in his own world. He danced along to the music, only realizing after a few moments that his sister and her friend had snuck in. He rolled his eyes, wanting to scold her for sneaking in yet again, but he chose to just ignore the two of them for the time being. Practice was more important, although he was sure he couldn’t even feel his feet anymore at this point. He glanced over at the two of them, his eyes running over Sunni for a moment. He honestly didn’t know why she hung out with his sister so often. She seemed so much less annoying than the other girl.

“Even if he does, there’s nothing he can do,” Sooyoung whispered, a cheeky little grin on her face. One thing she loved to do was mess with her brother. The two of them were like total opposites. She watched the dance, biting on her lower lip as she studied all the moves. It was a really good dance, and she wanted nothing more than to get up there and join them. She wanted to be an idol, herself, but her brother didn’t like the idea. She didn’t understand since he was one himself, but she never let the argument go long enough for him to explain why. She always ended up storming off before things got that far.

Once they were done, Jimin grabbed his water. “Okay, Hobi, I’m taking a break.” He said before going to sit down. He looked over to Sooyoung. “Hey Sooyoung.” He smiled at Yoongi’s little sister. “Any luck on getting big brother to change his mind about you becoming an idol?” He smiled.

Sunni watched them and smiled. She was also into dancing and her and Sooyoung planned on going to auditions for some of the other companies. They both wanted to be idols and in girl groups. Yoongi was hesitant about not letting Sooyoung go though and it was upsetting for both girls.

Yoongi dropped to the floor in exaggerated exhaust once the song finished, grunting when Taehyung walked by and playfully kicked his shin. He sat up after a moment and pushed his hair back again, grabbing his water and taking a few sips. He stood up and walked over to where his sister was sitting, crossing his arms over his chest. “Mom should really put a leash on you,” he teased, sitting down beside her friend. He offered Sunni and awkward, half-hearted smile, knowing he should be nice to her. After all, she wasn’t his sister too, so it would be rude of him to pick on her like he did his sister.

Sooyoung looked up when she heard her name, smiling when she saw Jimin had joined her and Sunni. “Hey,” she greeted. She shook her head at his question, letting out a sigh. “No, unfortunately. I don’t understand why he has such an issue with it. He’s an idol too.” She glanced over at her brother as he joined them, rolling her eyes at his comment. “Then who would come to your shows to support you?” She’d been her brother’s biggest supporter since day one, even when their parents had shunned him for wanting to join this career path.

@ tzuyu.

Sunni smiled at Yoongi. “She’s right, you know.” She said softly. Yoongi was always nice to her, even though he had questioned her on more than one occasion why she was hanging out with his sister since they seemed like complete opposites.

Jimin smiled. “Yeah Yoongi hyung, If Sooyoung didn’t come to our shows we wouldn’t have any support.” He said, slapping Yoongi’s shin playfully. “Sooyoung, Sunni, do you girls wanna dance?” Hobi asked the two younger girls. Sunni looked at Sooyoung. Jimin smiled. “Do it, do it, do it.” He chanted. He loved watching the two of them dance because they were both natural at it, which is why he couldn’t figure out why Yoongi was so adamant about letting his sister become an idol.

Yoongi rolled his eyes, letting out a little huff of frustration. He knew his sister was right, and he really appreciated that she was a big support for him and his group, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t still his kid sister. He extended his arm out in Hoseok’s direction. “Go on. Go dance,” he encouraged. As much as he didn’t want his sister to become an idol, he knew she loved to dance, and he wasn’t going to hold her back from that. If dancing was her passion, then he wanted her to go for it. The only reason he didn’t want her to become an idol was because he’d seen the way the women in this industry were treated, and he didn’t want that for her. Neither she, nor her friend, deserved that.

Sooyoung grinned and grabbed Sunni’s hand, pulling her friend up and dragging her over to where Hoseok was. She lifted Sunni’s hand up and gave her a little twirl, laughing softly. She was constantly trying to break the other girl out of her shell, but she still seemed so shy sometimes. She let go of her friend’s hand and stood in position, copying the dance the boys were doing. It wasn’t perfect, of course, because she’d only seen it once, but she got the gist of the movements. “This song is really good!” she shouted over the music. She wished she could rap like her brother did, but she wasn’t as skilled in that department as he was.

@ tzuyu.

Jimin moved up into Sooyoung’s seat so he could watch the girls dance with Hobi and Jungkook. He looked over at Yoongi who seemed to have his eyes glued on Sunni. “Have you tried talking to her? Other than a hello.” He asked his older male friend. It was painfully obvious that Yoongi had a little crush on his sister’s best friend. “Taehyung said she can rap, did you know that? She’s just really shy about it...but he overheard her one day whenever we were all hanging out at your house.” He said softly.

Sunni did the dance with Sooyoung, Hobi and Jungkook, even though she felt like everyone was watching her. She was still a little shy and was trying her hardest to break out of it but she was afraid of failure or embarrassing herself. Jimin clapped, “That was awesome!”

Yoongi looked over at Jimin and shook his head. “No, it’s too weird,” he said. “She’s my sister’s best friend. Do you know how awkward that is?” He bit his lip as he looked back at Sunni and his sister, smiling at the two of them when they finished dancing. “Good job.” He looked at Sunni, trying to imagine her being a rapper. He just didn’t see it. He’d have to hear her to believe it. He walked over and turned the music off. “Hey, Sunni. I hear you’re a good rapper. Why don’t you show us what you can do?”

Sooyoung grinned when she finished the dance, watching her brother get up. When he mentioned Sunni’s rapping, she bit her lip, looking over at her friend to give her some reassurance. She, herself, had even rarely heard Sunni rap, so she doubted the other girl would want to rap in front of all of them. She walked over and sat next to Jimin. “You really think that was good?” she asked quietly. “I don’t think I could ever be as good as you, Hoseok or Jungkook.”

@ tzuyu.

Sunni looked at him. “I...yeah I’m okay I guess...I’m not as good as you or Namjoon or Hoseok.” She said shyly. “We’d still love to hear it.” Namjoon smiled. “Okay..” she said, stepping back a little. She turned her back to them and calmed herself down. She figured she would rap one of her favorite songs 4Minute’s Crazy. She was just going to do Hyuna’s beginning part. She turned back around and began rapping the beginning part.

Jimin was about to speak and then Sunni started rapping. He grinned, “she’s really doing it!” He grabbed Sooyoung’s hands as they listened to the younger girl rap. When she was done, Jimin was clapping loud as he could. “She’s awesome!” He cheered.

Yoongi watched her, nodding his head along. “Pretty good,” he said. “You’d be a lot better if you weren’t so shy about it, though.” He wasn’t one to beat around the bush, he could be brutally honest sometimes. “If you want to be a rapper, you have to have stage presence.” He knew she was nervous, so he wasn’t going to be too harsh on her, but he figured she’d want some criticism. After all, if she was like his sister and wanted to be an idol, she’d have to get used to criticism. “Act like you wanna be up here, performing for everyone. Even if you’re nervous or intimidated. You can’t let people see that.”

Sooyoung rolled her eyes. “Yoongi, get off her back,” she scolded. “She didn’t ask for your opinion.” When her brother just grumbled a response, she shook her head. “You were amazing, Sunni. Don’t listen to him.” She smiled reassuringly at her friend before looking back at Jimin. She was surprised he was being so friendly with her, but she didn’t mind. “You guys all look tired. How long have you been practicing for?”

@ tzuyu.

“All day...we haven’t had lunch or anything yet.” Namjoon said as he sat down with his water. Jungkook was already starting to fall asleep.

“Why don’t you guys take a break and we’ll go get food.” Sunni suggested. “Sounds good to me.” Jimin said as he got up and grabbed his sweatshirt and water bottle. “Yoongi, you coming?”

Yoongi nodded his head. “Yeah, food sounds good,” he said. He grabbed his sweatshirt off the floor and slung it over his shoulder, walking over and nudging Jungkook in the shoulder. He chuckled when the younger boy snorted and sat up in his seat. He walked out before anyone else, ready to leave. As much as he loved what he did, hours upon hours of practicing just wore him out, and he was beyond ready for a break. He watched as his sister followed him out, waiting for her to catch up with him before he reached up and ruffled her hair.

Sooyoung gasped, reaching up to fix her hair. “Yoongi!” she shouted, glaring at him. “Do you know how long it takes to get my hair like this?” She shoved him back playfully, stopping in her tracks so she wouldn’t be beside him anymore. Once Sunni caught up, she continued walking alongside her friend. “I swear, he’s going to drive me crazy one day.” She smiled, leaning in to whisper into her friend’s ear. “Do you still have a crush on him?”

@ tzuyu.

Sunni nodded. “I do.” She said softly as she followed Sooyoung to her brother’s car. “Where are we meeting at?” Jungkook asked, he was riding with Hobi and Jin.

“How about the little cafe across town?”
Jimin asked as he followed Namjoon and Tae to Namjoon’s car. “Works for me.” Jin said as he got in his truck, along with Hobi and Jungkook.

Yoongi nodded. “We’ll meet you there,” he said, getting in his car. Once his sister and Sunni were inside, he followed Jin and Namjoon to the cafe, excited about the fact that he would have some food in his stomach soon. And then after that, hopefully he’d be able to go back to the dorm to shower and then sleep. He honestly felt like he could sleep for a year after all the work he’d put in today. He parked the car and climbed out, politely opening the door for Sunni.

Sooyoung climbed out of the car, watching and waiting for everyone else to pull in. Once they had all arrived, they went inside and got a table big enough to seat the nine of them. She slid into the booth, sat between her brother and Jimin. Before Taehyung had the chance to slide in beside Yoongi, she held her hand up to stop him. “Ah, Tae, do you mind letting Sunni sit there?” she asked. “She likes the end seat.” But in reality, she was just trying to play matchmaker with her brother and her best friend.

@ tzuyu.

“Sure.” Tae smiled, moving out of the way so Sunni could slide in, he slid in beside her followed by Jungkook, Hobi, Namjoon and lastly Jin. The waitress brought them all menus and asked for their drinks before going to get them.

Sunni was a little nervous sitting this close to Yoongi, their knees were touching and she tried to move a little but then she was touching knees with Taehyung. She sat there, silent, looking at her menu.

Jimin turned to Sooyoung. “What are you getting?” He asked the younger girl. He wondered if it was obvious to the others that he had a crush on her or if they were just being nice and not saying anything. “We have to get an order of kimbab.” Jungkook said. “Why? So you can eat it all?” Namjoon teased the Maknae. Jungkook made a face but just smirked and went back to his menu.

Yoongi felt awkward stuck between his sister and Sunni, wishing the two girls had sat beside each other instead of letting him sit in between. But he wasn’t dumb, he knew what his sister was doing. And it wasn’t going to work. As beautiful as Sunni was, it just felt too awkward to him to date his sister’s best friend. He didn’t look at the menu for long, deciding quickly what he wanted. He looked at his sister. “Want to split some lamb skewers?” he asked.

Sooyoung nodded in Yoongi’s direction before turning to look at Jimin. “Yoongi and I usually always split an order of lamb skewers,” she said with a smile. Sitting so close to him like this made her heart flutter, but at the same time, with Yoongi right on her other side, it kind of worried her. She didn’t need him knowing about her crush. If his stance on the whole idol thing was bad, she couldn’t imagine how he would react to her having feelings for Jimin. “What are you getting?”

@ tzuyu.

Jimin thought for a moment, “probably japache.” He said with a smile. He put his menu down and the waitress came to take all their orders, along with their sides. Jimin looked at Sooyoung once the menus were collected. “You should come hang out at the dorm with us sometimes.” He smiled.

Sunni was still keeping quiet. She was fidgeting with her fingers under the table and felt eyes on her. She looked up to see Yoongi staring at her but she looked away before she embarrassed herself. She was so shy around the guys, especially Yoongi, and she hated it.

Yoongi chuckled softly when Sunni turned away. He wanted to ask why she was so shy, but he didn’t think it was any of his business. But maybe it wouldn’t hurt to get to know her a little better. “So I’m guessing you want to be an idol too, like my sister?” he asked. “You know, it’s a really tough industry. They don’t always treat you like a human being.” He knew he was being negative, but it was the truth. And he just wanted to make sure she knew that.

Sooyoung smiled back at him. “It’s a nice thought, but I don’t think Yoongi would like that very much,” she said. “I think being at the studio annoys him enough. I doubt he would want me at your living space.” She took a sip of her drink and shrugged her shoulders. “But maybe I could come when he isn’t around.” She did like the idea of going to spend some time with him and the others, but she didn’t want to bother her brother anymore than she already was at this point.
