Jungkook squinted his eyes as he stared down to the phone screen, examining the meme that was shown. He tilted his head, a bit confused at what it meant or what it was trying to imply.

"I don't get it..." Jungkook mumbled.

"What?!" Hoseok gasped. "You're younger than me and yet you can't understand your own culture?!" Hoseok sighed while shaking his head side to side, searching through his phone another time. "Does that mean I fit in with you youngsters now?"

"I don't think that's how things work," Jungkook replied. "You're still old, Hoseok."

The older friend gasped dramatically, making Jungkook smirk slightly. "I'm so offended!" Hoseok said. "How rude of you to say that!"

"But it's written on your birth certificate..." Jungkook couldn't help but chuckle lowly at his friend's reaction. He enjoyed that much more than the meme he didn't understand. "That's legitimate proof!"

"Okay, okay, I get it!" Hoseok scoffed while grabbing some fries and stuffing them in his mouth angrily. "Why must you remind me that I'm old?"

"But you mentioned it first."

"Fight me, Jungkook." Hoseok huffed in irritation and wrapped his arm around Jungkook, holding him in a head lock. Jungkook was slightly taken aback from his sudden movement but he continued to struggle in his hold.

"Oh? What happened to muscle boy?" Hoseok teased while laughing. "Young boy doesn't seem so strong!"

"You're ridiculous," Jungkook chuckled and squirmed in Hoseok's hold before reaching out to poke his friend's side. Hoseok squirmed away from Jungkook and immediately let him out from his hold, caressing his sides.

"You little brat!" Hoseok leaped onto Jungkook and they began to have their own little play fight. Jungkook smiled widely while fighting off his older friend who didn't seem so old to him.

Hoseok had taught him to live in the moment. That night where Hoseok managed to make Jungkook laugh, Jungkook realized that he shouldn't focus on his worries, or rather he shouldn't focus at all. He should just live while he could in the moment.

Jungkook never could've never imagine just living in the moment with the anxious thoughts in his head but now, it showed him how far he had come from. He had stared at Taehyung next, who reached over to rap his fingers under Jungkook's chin and laughed.

Jungkook sighed. "I'm not that hungry-"

"I don't want to hear that bullshit," Taehyung said before standing up and walking over to Jungkook's side of the table. He grabbed another untouched burger and placed it in Jungkook's hand. "You better eat or else I'll shove it down your esophagus."

"You won't do that."

"Is that a challenge?" Taehyung smirked before wrapped his arm around Jungkook's neck to hold him in place. "What are you doing- hey!" Jungkook let out a small laugh when Taehyung tried shoving the burger in his mouth. "Let me go!"
