"Are you ready to have it now?" she asks and peeks at us both, so I agree to it, and Hojun does so.

"Okay," she leaves her book on the bed and turns towards us, so I keep quiet and listen to her. "First, I want us all to talk and not just me because I feel like I'm forcing you or ruling, and I don't want any of you to believe that I'm controlling or anything. I'm just trying to find a way for this relationship to work and that the three of us are happy and comfortable."

"We know, baby. Don't worry, we need this talk, and you're the most mature for this," I rub my hand over her thigh and get rid of this worry. She is the only one who can make this work to the full, so I would rather let her set some rules.

"Well, I think that the most important thing to say is to never keep anything to ourselves. Like, are there things that you cannot accept?" she waits for both of our opinions, so I take a look at Hojun, wondering if he has something to say. "Personally, not really."

"Sure? You're both like us now, so don't feel like you don't have anything to say," she tells him what I would have said as well if I was in her shoes. "No, really. I'm happy with whatever happens as long as none of you lies to me. I'm serious."

"It's the number one rule, so don't worry. No one lies, no one keeps anything to themselves, no one betrays any of us," she speaks the perfect words, and I nod, instinctively. "That's all that matters to me," Hojun sets his eyes on me, and y/n asks about my point of view now. "And you, Jungkook?"

"Well...I'm scared to be jealous over certain stuff," I ruffle my hair, hating how they both make me feel like I am the only one who is too demanding or childish. "What stuff? Just tell us."

"You know...What I said last night, if this works out, we'll be a throuple, right? But like a normal couple, we'll need intimacy, and we can't always be together to do that type of stuff, so I'm scared that this might make me jealous if you both do it without me..." I struggle to explain my problem without sounding stupid and immature. "I'm gonna be honest with you, I saw a video earlier about a throuple who talked about this type of life, but it was two girls and one man, so the girls first got together, then I think one met him, but they seem so in love with each other, and if one was leaving the house, they would kiss both before leaving. But they had rules and a sort of schedule, and the woman said that they would rarely do it all together, and that most of the time, only two of them would have some intimate time and the other one would leave them alone but never be jealous. So they have days where two of them hang out together, and other days when the two others hang out. So they have a schedule, but I don't think I would feel good with this."

"Me neither," Hojun shares the same opinion, and I do too on this, but not totally. "But are you gonna tell the one who wasn't involved that you both had sex or did something?"

"Would you feel better if we tell each other when we had some intimate time alone?" she asks as she must see how much in need of reassurance I am in a relationship. "I don't know...I guess it'd be weird."

"But if you need to know so that you can be more reassured, we'll do it," she gives me the opportunity to choose. "I really don't know, I don't know how I'd feel if that happens, so I can't tell what's the best."

"Alright, if you're not sure then you can always ask questions, and we'll tell you the truth anyway. Is it fine?" she tilts her head, and since I have no idea what would help me the most, I nod. "What else would bother you?"

"Two of us spending more time together than with the other," I do not hide any worry anymore, knowing I have to do it for us all. "I just don't want any of us to feel left out, as I told you."

"I think none of us would want one to feel left out, that's why we should always talk about it without fearing to be a bother or to ask for too much," her eyes focus more on Hojun as if she knew that he is the most likely to keep quiet and handle the pain by himself, but we both agree to it.

"We'll just learn with time, right?" he holds his hands together, thinking the same as I do. "Yes, I believe that it is better to just make it clear right from the beginning what could be a problem for each one of us, then see how it goes between us, how we share, spend time with each other, how we feel about the two others kissing or being alone together...I think this is better unless you think otherwise."

"I totally agree with you," he shakes his head up and down, and I say the same words. "Are you both sure? Don't you have any questions?" she insists so that she is certain that we all are even, and I affirm what we stated the first time she asked, but Hojun does not. "Will you be okay if I kiss Jungkook? Are you sure you won't be jealous?"

"I won't be jealous at all, Hojun. I swear, otherwise, I would already have broken up with Jungkook," she answers him, but the last unexpected four words hit me in the chest. I cannot stand to hear those, I do not want to imagine my life without her. "But what about you? Are you sure you won't be jealous or hurt if you see me kiss Jungkook? Or you, Jungkook, if you see me kiss him?" she includes me once again, never forgetting to do it. "I won't be jealous or hurt about that," I mean my words, and Hojun claims the same.

"Well then, that's all that I wanted to clarify. So, consent, communication, respect, and trust, are what we have to always stick to. As if it was a normal relationship but with more things to take into consideration since we are three," she talks like a mother who knows exactly what has to be said, and I smile but acquiesce. "That's all I need," Hojun expresses the same with his cute smile. "Alright, I'm happy. I'm pretty sure it will be easier than what people say about throuples. We were already kinda one, to be honest..."

"Well, you're not wrong," I see the same way, even if never saw it like that.

Since no one is saying anything anymore, I toy with my piercing in my mouth, and Hojun eats the last piece of chicken he had to grab his can of coke. "If there is something you want to talk about, tell us. Okay?" she tells him and grabs her book that she left aside for a moment. "I will, I promise," he sips on his drink, and we all go back to what we were doing before this talk.

This is a relief, I feel so much better now. I hope everything will work between us and that we will be happy all together.

— One week later —

I bite into the pizza I ordered while reading this text y/n sent into the groupchat for her, Hojun, and I.

[ pepperoni pizza and it's so good😭 >

[ do you want me to share? >

[ I saw you ogling his nuggets when he was eating, so I'm not surprised babe >

[ stop lying >

[ and Jun, come in my room rn >

]

Since he is lying to me and pretending to be okay with the cheap food he has, I take a picture of my pizza and send it in the chat.

[ if one of you wants some, come and eat with your lonely man >

[ shut up babe, you're the liar >

[ it's my finger that blurred the damn lens you dumbass, I'm wearing pants! >

[ wtf stop you two or I leave! >

[ I'm shy >

Without saying anything else, he sends a screenshot that he took some time ago of a post that was on my Instagram, where a boner was obvious under my sweatpants.

[ stfu, Idk who's that guy. It's not me >

[ :

[ and me? >

[ do that again and I come in your bed to make you regret >

[ alright >

I shove my phone in my pocket but stand up to grab a dish, and I put three slices of pizza on it, and I get out of my room to head towards his with a pair of slippers on. I would have given him more if I had, but I want to give the same to y/n so I have to share the rest into two.

Once I am facing his room, I bang on to the door, but he does not open it, so since I have no shame, I yell. "Hojun, baby! Daddy is—" I get interrupted by the door flying open in front of me.

He feels shy about it now.

"I believe that you didn't hear me knock, so I—"

"My roommate is here," he whispers in a loud manner and closes the door behind him to be in the hallway together. "Hm, and? He doesn't mind fucking his bitch when you're tryna sleep, so I don't know why I'd give a damn about him."

"He's gonna bully me now that he heard you, dammit," he drops his attention on the food I brought. "I'll beat the shit out of him. Don't worry. This is for you," I hand him the dish, but he crosses his arms. "It's for you, so no thanks."

I stick my empty hand in a pocket of my sweatpants and stand still on my spot. "You want me to shove it in your mouth?"

He stares at me, but his lips slowly curve up into a grin that he quickly attempts to conceal. "Well..."

"Don't even answer," I grab his hand and lay the dish on the palm of it. "Eat this and maybe someday I'll shove something else in your mouth," I press my lips on his forehead, but cup his throat. "And don't you dare give me a middle finger again because I won't be kind next time, alright?"

"Alright," he smiles but looks down at my lips, so I brush my thumb over this sensitive spot. "I love you, see you, and eat everything," I take my hand off of him and move back, but he nods to me. "I love you too."

After hearing those words I wanted him to say back, I take one last peek at him but beam and leave. I go back to my room and do the same I did for him. I put the rest of my pizza on the dish, but this time, I put my shoes on and check the texts they sent before getting out to leave the building.

I chuckle at these idiots but get out of my room, step towards the stairs, and walk them down as fast as I can without falling. I walk across the yard to reach the other dorm, and I run upstairs to go for my girl's room with hope that she does not expect me to come.

I knock on her door in a way softer manner than I did when I was standing in front of Hojun's room one, and the kindness of her makes her open in short seconds as usual.
