________________________________

Taehyung entered the house at a little past 11pm. He dropped his bag that was full of cook books and his culinary tools and dragged it towards the dining area. He left the bag on the small chair and directly went to his room that he shared with his boyfriend.

He quietly opened the door because he did not want to disturb the man who was probably tired from his classes as well. He did not even turn on the lights and quickly headed to the toilet to change his clothes. After he came back out, he snuck inside the blanket and felt the man wiggling.

“You are quite late today”, he said in his sleepy voice.

“Sorry”, Taehyung whispered, “I had to attend some extra classes.”

“Hmmm”, The man turned around and held Taehyung in his arm. He gently pressed a soft kiss on his head and went back to sleep. Taehyung smiled a little and drifted off.

****

In the morning, Taehyung woke up to the man running around their apartment.

“What?”, Taehyung said looking dazed.

“I cannot find my book!”, The guy was panicking. “I have an exam and I am getting late.”

Taehyung frowned a little and looked around the room. He looked inside the blanket and under the pillow but could not find it. He then reached out and looked under the bed.

“Tsk”, He was too lazy to duck down and get it but he had to because the guy was really fretting.

“Namjoon”, Taehyung called out. “Here’s your book. You left it under the bed again.”

“Oh, my god! Thank you so much.”, He kissed Taehyung on his cheek and ruffled his hair. “I love you”, he said before leaving.

Taehyung just nodded, he was still very sleepy. “Good luck”. He managed to say before Namjoon closed the door.

****

He and Namjoon had first met when they were still in high school. Namjoon had always been attracted to Taehyung and he would always follow him around breaking every little wall that Taehyung used to build around him. He was the first one to ever get so close to the man and from there on, Taehyung also started feeling comfortable around Namjoon. After they had entered university, the two started living together because of Namjoon and things lead to other things and now the two were in a romantic relationship.

Taehyung still doesn’t know how it all happened but he didn’t mind because he liked seeing Namjoon happy and he really cared for the older man. It had already been two years since they started living together.  

Chapter Text

It was 8:15am when Namjoon left for his classes, Taehyung could not go back to sleep. His sleep was disturbed and as much as he tried, he could not. He had an afternoon class and he had wanted to rest for a while so he just stayed there laying on the bed staring at the empty ceiling. Namjoon’s scent was still lingering.

After about 30 mins, he woke up and went to take a bath. He came out after 15mins and went straight to get his things out of his bag. He took out his tools and practiced cooking foods he had learned yesterday. He was reading through his notes and perfectly executing whatever was written. He made a delicious meal and he was very satisfied with it. It was much better than what he had made in the class. Very happy with the outcome, he put the dish inside the fridge and wrote a note that said,

Namjoon, 

I made this for you. I hope you like it.

Love, Taehyung.

Namjoon only had morning classes today so Taehyung saved the food for him. He wasn’t very comfortable with writing “Love” but he thought he might as well write it there since he hadn’t said that to him earlier.

It was still too early for him to go to university since his class only started at 2 in the afternoon but he still left his apartment because there was nothing else to do. It was already 11:30 when he got to the subway station. It was the first time he had ever been so early there. All of his classes started after 1pm, so being there at this time, he had to do a bit of getting used to.

He walked into the train and found himself a place to sit. He took out his earphones from his bag and plugged it in his ears. Being inside the train was very hard for him as many students from the same university took it, he would sometimes meet his classmates that he doesn’t know well and would always have to find an excuse to avoid them. He did not like talking to random people, so he would usually listen to music or pretend he was sleeping.

The university was like 30 mins ride from the train and it was at the last station, the 12^th station. At the 4^th stop, a rather cheerful guy entered the train with 2 girls beside him. Their voices pierced through Taehyung’s earphones and he found them very irritating. The three of them sat right across Taehyung.

Taehyung’s eyes met the mans and the man stared at him, slowly taking his seat. Taehyung avoided the eye contact first and pretended to look somewhere else whereas the other guy went back to his cheerful self.

“Jin-oppa, aren’t you going to give us free tickets for your concert?”, one of the girls asked.

“Ah, sorry girls, you are too late. I already gave it to my friends.”, he said frowning at them.

“Awww”, the girls whined. “But we really wanted to come.”

“You could ask the other members, maybe they have it?”, Jin smiled.

The three were very loud. Even when they were talking amongst themselves, they could still be heard from far away. Jin could see that the guy in front would occasionally look at them and he noticed, it wasn’t a very pleasing expression but more of a pissed or annoyed look.

Jin just smiled when Taehyung looked at them again. Taehyung, unable to respond to that, just looked down and pretended to sleep.

At the 7^th station, the girls bid Jin goodbye and he was left alone. He still made small talks with people sitting next to him. He was very good looking and he looked like a kind person. Taehyung envied his friendliness with people and wished he had the same characteristics too. He was imaging how it would be like to have those personalities.

‘Would people like me?’, ‘Would they be friendlier to me?’, Taehyung just thought to himself.

Taehyung was just thinking about those things while looking around the train when he suddenly stopped to look at the cheerful guy. When their eyes met again, the guy gave him a big smile and he did not know what to do again. He avoided his gaze once more but this time he felt a tingling feeling on his face which you usually feel when someone is staring at you intensely.

Taehyung peeked again and he saw the man looking at him and whenever their eyes met, he would give him a bright smile.

Jin found him very cute. It was like as if he was teasing a small kid. Taehyung could not help but pray for the train to reach the destination faster.

At the last station, he quickly stood up and headed for the door avoiding the stare that followed him until he stopped before the door opened. From the corner of his eyes, he saw the man following him and stopped right behind him. He felt a soft thump on his back and when he looked over his shoulder, the man was grinning.

As soon as the door opened, Taehyung walked as fast as he can.

“Hi”, Taehyung was shocked when his earphones got pulled out. “I am Jin. Nice to meet you.”, He said smiling at him.

Taehyung glared at him.

“I believe we are in the same university.”, Jin continued with Taehyung still glaring at him. Their university had a uniform and it was same for all the students except that they had a different badge for every college.

“I am from the College of Music. And you?”, he continued on ignoring the way Taehyung was looking at him.

He just looked at Jin and walked faster. He was caught up again.

“You know, I am not gonna leave you until you tell me your name.”, He said with his hands in his pockets.

Taehyung stopped and turned to him. “My name is Taehyung. Happy now?”,

Jin smiled.

“Leave and don’t bother me.”, Taehyung plugged back his earphones and proceeded.
The man saw Taehyung disappear as he walked towards his department. He noticed Taehyungs badge was from the culinary.

“What an interesting kid. So cute.”

Chapter Text

Taehyung hurried to his department. He did not want to be bothered again by a stranger. When he finally noticed that he wasn’t being followed, he lowered his speed and walk normally.

‘Who the hell was that guy?’ he thought. ‘I am never leaving for classes early.’

He was still very early for his class, so he went to the library to kill some time. He had exactly 1hr 30min for his next class. Taehyung decided to go the the main library of their university which was really really big compared to the one in his department. When he entered, he immediately looked for a table where there were little to no students. He spotted one near the window and he immediately sat down. He left his bag on the table to indicate that the spot was taken so nobody would come by. He went to the culinary section to check if there were books that were not in their college library. He came back with a few and set it on the table. He was looking for a new recipe he could try to cook and have Namjoon try it. He jotted down 5 to 6 of the recipes that he could easily get the ingredients of and when he was satisfied, he closed the book and checked the time. He still had an hour more.

He took out his ear phones and started listening to music. He looked outside the window and stared at the leaves that were beautifully falling down. He was so concentrated at the view outside, he did not notice a man sit at the table he was at. The table was actually for 4 people.

Taehyung was startled when he turned to look and saw the man sitting. He did not feel comfortable. The man just smiled at him. Taehyung just stared and looked away. He then played with the wire of his ear phones and opened and closed his culinary book from time to time. The other man was observing him carefully as he was doing those thing. He was very intrigued by his character.

After a little while, when Taehyung went back to looking outside again, the man stood up making Taehyung flinch. He had seen him stand from the corner of his eyes. He looked back at Taehyung with wide eyes.
‘Interesting’, the man thought as he went somewhere.

Taehyung sighed when the man left and was pissed at himself for reacting that way. He blamed himself for flinching and scaring the man. But he was relieved that he was left alone.

The man came back again with a new book but this time he waved at Taehyung and pointed at the chair in front of him.

“Can I sit here?”, Taehyung heard him through his music.

He just nodded. He did not want it though. ‘Why here?’, he asked him in his head.

The man sat in front of him, smiling. He looked really young. His badge said he was from the College of Science. Taehyung ignored the man and stared blankly at the outside world again, wishing that the guy would not talk to him.

Taehyung felt the tingling sensation again just like how he had felt earlier in the train when that Jin guy was staring at him intensely. He looked at the direction of the sensation, he saw the man was looking at him. He pulled out his earphone and asked, “Yes?”. He was a little nice since he looked younger and did not want to scare him.

His smile grew wider. “You are really interesting.” He said.

Taehyung’s eyes furrowed, “And why is that?”

“I don’t know.”, he said supporting his chin with his hand. “You are somehow very different from people I have met.”

‘This person is weird’, he thought.

Taehyung looked at him with a big eye and just when he was about to put back his earphones, the man stopped him by catching his hands.

“I am not weird”, he said. Taehyung was shocked. ‘how did he know? Is he a mind reader?’

“You see; I am a Psychology student. I predict your thinking based on how you behave and through my observation.”, he explained to Taehyung. “I have never seen your kind here. Are you by any chance a new student?”

‘My Kind? What the hell does he mean?’, Taehyung glared at him.

“I meant, you are from the Culinary department. I have never seen anyone at the main library from there. So I was wondering if you were new?”

“Listen Kid, I am already a 3^rd year student here and this main library is not only for the science department students ok? It’s for everyone.” Taehyung could not help but get angry. Nothing was going his way today. All he wanted was a quiet day and here he was, encountering the 2^nd obstacle of the day.

“Oh? So you do talk!”, He said smiling but all Taehyung could see was an evil grin. “Anyways, I am Jungkook.”, he reached his hand for a shake.

‘I do not need to know that’, Taehyung thought rolling his eyes at him.

Jungkook caught his hand by surprise and gave him a good shake. “You need to know cause this will not be the last time we will be meeting. I have a feeling that we are going to get really close”, He let go of his hand. The grip was strong and it hurt a little.

Taehyung got up abruptly and headed for the exit.

“Kim Taehyung”, the man said and he quickly turned around.

“How did you know my name?”, Taehyung asked getting annoyed.

Jungkook smile and lifted what was supposed to be Taehyung’s student Id.

He immediately moved forward and grabbed it.

“You look really good in that picture.”, Jungkook whispered in his ears. Taehyung blushed and pushed him aside before going out.

Chapter Text

Taehyung’s class at 2 was language class and he did not know anyone from there. Language classes were general education subjects where students from any department could take it to complete some of their credits. He was the only one from his department in his class.

After leaving the library, avoiding yet another weirdo, he decided he will just head straight to his class.

He had about 15 mins more before his class started. He reached near the door and saw that some of his classmates were already inside the class. It has already been a month since the start of the new semester but he still hasn’t talked or befriended anyone. He entered the class and headed to his seat which was at the center of the 4^th row. He was never really the type to sit in front. If he had a choice, he would have chosen the seats at the back where he could calmly observe his class without being seen by anyone but when the semester had started, he hadn’t attended the first class so when he did attend it on the 2^nd day, the professor had already assigned seats and his was, unfortunately, at the center of the 4^th row.

Taehyung thought that his seating area would be very bothersome as he was in the center and he thought that people would ask him a lot of questions and that he would be the center of attraction but it wasn’t like that. Nobody really asked him anything or gave him attention. He actually liked it like that and from the area he sat, he could see and hear the professor just fine. He liked being in that class because it was one of those classes where he never really had to put a lot of effort into talking and mingling with other students. The professor would just give them assignments and let them work themselves. He felt very relaxed and calm in that class.

What Taehyung did not know was that, there was actually a guy who sat in the center of 6^th row who would always look at him. His name was Hoseok and he was from the college of Communications. This semester was the first time Hoseok had seen Taehyung and it was love at first sight for him. During the 2^nd meeting, when Taehyung had barged in the class surprising everyone, Hoseok was immediately star struck by his beauty. He looked like a small kid when he apologized to their professor for being late and when he was asked to introduce himself to everyone in front of the class, he saw a slight disappointment on his face that made Hoseok even more curious about him. He was a very mysterious man for Hoseok and he wanted to know what Taehyung was thinking. It’s been over a month now and Hoseok still could not come up with the courage to talk to Taehyung. He found him very intimidating at times but there were also those moments when he would see Taehyung looking at his phone and smiling at the screen. He always wanted to know what made him so happy that he would smile like that.

And today when Taehyung came in 15 mins earlier to class, Hoseok could not help but be happy. Taehyung usually arrived late and he would always be scolded by the professor. Sometimes Hoseok wanted to protect the younger man from the prof who always picks on him when he is late. He did not want others to notice Taehyung like he had and he certainly did not want them to fall in love with him. He wanted Taehyung for himself. Hoseok had promised himself that before the semester ends, he would certainly be friends with Taehyung. He made a fist and thought to himself. ‘I can do this!’

Hoseok looked at Taehyung who was now taking out things from his bag to get ready for the class. The prof came in after a while and started with his lectures. It went on and on and when the class was about to end, their prof gave them an assignment that was supposed to be done in pairs.

Thinking it was a good chance for him to make a move, Hoseok quickly went towards Taehyung ignoring all the people who asked him to be their partner.

“Hey”, Hoseok said cheerfully. “Do you already have a partner?”

“Umm no?”, Taehyung gave him a nervous smile.

“Do you want to work with me then? I don’t have a partner too.”

“Umm sure. If you don’t mind.” Taehyung was happy that it was actually Hoseok who asked him because going around and asking someone to be his partner was something Taehyung would have never done.

“Ok then. Should we start discussing about the topic already?”, Hoseok asked.

He did not want to lose this opportunity.

“Sure. Here?”, Taehyung looked at him.

“Oh do you want to go somewhere else? The main library?”

“NO!”, Taehyung quickly responded surprising the other man. “I am sorry. Let’s just discuss here.”

Hoseok nodded and they sat down at Taehyung’s table. They discussed their topics and Hoseok even made schedules on when to meet and work on the assignment. There was actually no need to make schedules but he just wanted to do it so that he can know when Taehyung was free.

When they finally finished, Hoseok looked at Taehyung and was about to ask him something when Taehyungs phone rang.

“Hello?”, It was Namjoon.

“TaeTae, thank you for the food. It was delicious. Do you still have extra classes later?”, he asked. Hoseok tidied the table and put his stuffs inside the bag.

“I am done now. Where are you?”, Taehyung asked.

‘I think he is busy. Maybe next time.’, Hoseok thought.

“I am at home right now but I will be heading to the basketball court at 5 later. I have a match. You wanna come?”, Namjoon wanted him to. “We can leave for home together after that. But if you are tired, it’s ok. You can go and rest.”

Taehyung was very happy that Namjoon had invited him after so long. They had both been very busy that they haven’t really spent time together.

“I will come, Namjoon. I will see you there hmmm? Byee”, Taehyung smiled at the phone before turning off.

“Love you”, the other man replied.

Taehyung looked at Hoseok and smiled at him. “Well, I need to go. Thank you for the hard work.” Taehyung stood up.

Just when he was about to exit the room, he turned back surprising Hoseok who was still staring at him.

“I am Taehyung by the way and you are?”, it was silly that the two hadn’t introduced themselves. Taehyung did not have to though since Hoseok already knew about him.

“I am Hoseok.”, He smiled. He was very happy that Taehyung asked his name.

“Ok then Hoseok, it was nice to meet you. I hope we get along well.”, Taehyung smiled and left.

Taehyung was awfully talkative right now but he knew why, he was just happy that he would be getting to spend some time with Namjoon.

Chapter Text

Taehyung left the class bidding good bye to Hoseok.

Hoseok was the first one he had ever talked to in that class. Surprisingly for him, he found Hoseok very comfortable. He did not feel like he was talking to a stranger, it felt like as if they had been friends for a long time. It was a good feeling.

Taehyung took out his phone and checked the time. It was 3:30pm. He was asked to come to the court by 5, so since he still had a lot of time, he decided he would just go home and come back with Namjoon. He wanted to leave his heavy things too.

He reached the apartment after 30mins and turned the door knob. He was surprised when it did not open. Thinking maybe that the guy was asleep, he used his own key and saw that the place was empty. He quickly dropped his things and called Namjoon.

“Hey Taehyung.”, the guy answered.

“Where are you?”, Taehyung said in haste.

“Me? I am on my way to the university.”, Taehyung could hear the sound system of the train. “What about you?”

“I just got home.”, Taehyung told him. “I was hoping we could go there together since you said it was at 5.”, He was a little disappointed.

“ahh I am so sorry love. I didn’t know you would come home. I would have waited if I knew”, he sounded sorry.

“It’s ok.”, Taehyung sighed. “I will be there later. See you.”, he hung up. Taehyung put down his bag and took a quick rest before heading to the shower. When he came out of the shower, he saw a text message. It was from Namjoon and it said that he was at the outdoor practice court, warming up for his match. Taehyung quickly put on his clothes and hurried there. When he got there, he saw Namjoon and his team playing a friendly match. He went to sit on the bench near the court and watched the game. Namjoon was too busy to see Taehyung but he did not mind. He liked seeing him all concentrated and he kind of looked y. He just stared at his man.

After a bit of staring, he was distracted when the ball suddenly flew in his direction and with sharp instinct, Taehyung covered his head with his arms.

“Careful! People might get hurt!”, He heard a voice shout. It was very stern and authoritative. Taehyung slowly lifted to see what had happened. He only saw the back of the man. He was wearing the same jersey as Namjoon. He was quite short but he had a strong presence. Namjoon saw Taehyung after the short man had called out and he rushed to him.

“Tae! I didn’t know you were here.” Namjoon looked at him worriedly. “Yah!! Be careful with your shootings, you might hurt someone!”, Namjoon shouted at his teammates.

Taehyung quickly shook his head and told them that he was fine and nothing happened. Namjoon was the protective type. If anything happened to Taehyung, the person who was responsible would be very sorry.

“I am fine”, Taehyung told him again. “Go and practice”, he shooed him away.

Taehyung sighed after he left and he quickly made his way to a safer place but was stopped by the other man.

“You can stay here.”, He looked down at the sitting Taehyung. “I am sure the balls won’t come here anymore.” He looked back at the team.

Taehyung slowly went back to his place and searched for Namjoon. When he saw him, he smiled.

The guy slowly sat near him. “I am Yoongi. Are you one of Namjoon’s friend?”, He asked.

Taehyung just nodded. ‘I am actually his boyfriend.’, he wanted to say that.

“I am their team captain.”, Yoongi said proudly.

‘ahhh’, Namjoon never really talked about his team or sports. Taehyung knew he usually played sports but all Namjoon ever talked about was writing songs and composing them since he was majoring in that field. It was nice getting to know something new related to Namjoon.

Taehyung was unknowingly smiling and Yoongi found it very contagious as he also started to grin when he saw him. Taehyung slowly turned and saw the man looking at him with a smirk.

‘Not again’, he thought, his bright face now turning cold.

“You know, your smile is very contagious.”, Yoongi said looking at him. Taehyung just ignored him and shifted a little to the side. Seeing as how Taehyung was moving away from him, Yoongi completely closed the gap between them by pushing his whole body towards him.

Taehyung froze and looked at him from the corner of his eyes.

“You look very beautiful when you smile like that.”, he gave him a wink.

Even if Yoongi was good looking and popular, at this moment, Taehyung could not help but feel disgusted with him. He did not know how to react.

“Namjoon actually told me that he was dating someone. Isn’t it you?”, Yoongi asked him looking at Namjoon who was really into the game.

Taehyung blinked a couple of times staring blankly at Yoongi.

“Are you the one Namjoon is dating?”, he asked again.

Taehyung just lowered his head, blood running to his face and ears.

Yoongi noticed how nervous the man got and gave out a big laugh surprising Taehyung.

“That lucky bastard. How the hell did he manage to score a beautiful guy like you?”

Taehyung kept quiet, looking here and there nervously.

“If you are ok with Namjoon, that means you are ok with men (in general) right? Wanna try going out with me? I am sure I can keep you happier.”, Yoongi leaned back, tilted his head and gazed at the man.

‘What is happening today?!’, that was all Taehyung could think of. Everything was happening to him in a single day and he was already too tired from it.

Taehyung stood up but Yoongi caught his wrist. He looked at the man and glared.

“If I score 30 points today, you will have to go on a date with me.”

“And why would I do that?”, Taehyung pulled back his hand.

“But if I don’t, I will not bother you.”, He smiled at Taehyung, completely ignoring the question Taehyung had just asked.

Yoongi nodded his head as if asking Taehyung if he was ok with the deal.

“50”, Taehyung said.

“What?”

“50 points and I will go with your deal.”

“But 50 is impossible.”, Yoongi cried.

“Well, then I don’t want to accept the deal.”, Taehyung was having a little fun of his own.

“Fine. 50 then. But if I do score that many, you have to keep your promise.”

Taehyung nodded. Yoongi took in a deep breath and exhaled rather loudly.

“Since you have given me an awfully impossible deal, I will have to do my best to make it possible.”, Yoongi stood up and stretched himself.

“Ok then, darling. I will see you after the match. Please be ready to lose the deal.”

Yoongi smirked at him and Taehyung just blushed at the nick-name he had just been given. 

Chapter Text

It was a very interesting match between Namjoon’s team and the other. They were going head to head and everyone in the court were enjoying it except for one person.

Taehyung still could not believe that he had accepted the deal but since Yoongi said that scoring 50 was impossible, he felt a little relieved. He was busy looking at Namjoon and he was so proud of him. He had never seen him like this. If anything, Taehyung thought Namjoon was a perfect human being. He was good at everything. He was great with people, with studies, sports, singing, rapping, composing and it could go on and on. Where ever Namjoon moved, Taehyungs eyes also followed him but he noticed that Yoongi would usually come and cover Namjoon from his sight.

While Taehyung was lost in his thoughts, people started screaming and clapping. He quickly focused on the game again and saw that Yoongi had just scored yet another three-pointer. He could hear girls screaming and talking about him. He was indeed very popular. Taehyung could not deny the fact that Yoongi was a good looking person too.

It was only the start of 2^nd quarter and Yoongi had already scored 28 points. Taehyung was now a bit nervous.

‘I would have surely lost if I had accepted it at 30 points’, he thought. Good thing he hadn’t.

The court was full of people but Taehyung was sitting all by himself because he did not want to sit with someone he didn’t know. After about 5 mins in the game, Yoongi was substituted and when he came out, he looked directly towards Taehyung and smiled brightly. He just ignored him but the girls behind him started screaming even more.

“Oh, my god! Did you see that?? He smiled at me!!”

“NO! He smiled at me!”, the girls quarreled.

Unable to bear the screaming and yelling, Taehyung moved himself a little further away. He continued to watch the match but occasionally, his eyes would go back to Yoongi who was now sitting at the bench with a towel on his head.

‘28 points. Still 22 more to go. I hope he doesn’t play this quarter or the next!’, Taehyung prayed.

Taehyung got so excited when Namjoon scored that he stood up and started clapping like a seal.

Thud! 

Somebody had thrown an empty bottle on his back. He turned back angrily and looked at the person who had done it.

“Yah, Kim Taehyung!”, The culprit called. “Why the hell are you so happy?”

It was the same person from the library. ‘What was his name again? Jung—? Jungkook?’ Taehyung tried to remember but gave up when he wasn’t sure.

He glared at the man and went back to watching without answering him.

“Oh?! Are you angry?”, Jungkook came and sit near him.

“What do you want now?”

“Irritated, aren’t you?”, he teased.

“If you know it too well, why the hell are you even asking?”

“Cause I like it. Especially when you get riled up like that.” Jungkook grinned at him. Taehyung ignored. He saw Yoongi looking at the exact position where he was sitting earlier and when he could not find him, Yoongi looked left and right and when their eyes finally met, Taehyung could not help but try to hide a smile forming on his face. Yoongi looked at him and smiled too.

Jungkook was confused at Taehyung who had suddenly started smiling and he looked to the direction of the source.

His evil grin coming out, “Yoongi?”, he asked.

“Hmm?”, Taehyung looked at him confused. “What?”

“Do you like him?”, Jungkook was observing Taehyung’s every behavior.

“What? NO!!”

“Then why are you smiling at him like that?”

“It’s none of your business.”, Taehyung ignored him yet again. “Can you please keep quiet? I need to watch the game.”

“Yoongi is really good at basketball, you know.” Jungkook went on ignoring Taehyungs request for him to be quiet.

“I know.”, he replied harshly.

“In every game, he alone can score up to 70 points”

“WHAT????!!!!”, Taehyung yelled, his eyes wide open.

“He is the best player in our university. I am surprised you didn’t know that.” Jungkook said, a little disappointed. “Were you living in a cave all this time?”

“But—he said even scoring 50 was impossible.”

“Pffssh! 50 is nothing for him. If he was allowed to play all the quarters, which he usually doesn’t get to, I am sure he will even score more than 100 points himself. He is that good!”

Jungkook, somehow knew a lot about him.

“But—“

“He made a deal with you?”, Jungkook looked at him smiling. “Poor you. You are in great trouble love.”

The whistle blew and it was the end of 2^nd quarter. Namjoon looked for Taehyung and when he could not find him, he gave him a quick call. Taehyung immediately answered and told him where he was sitting at.

“Is that Jungkook with you?” he said.

“you know him?”,Taehyung replied.

“How do you know him?” Namjoon asked too.

When Taehyung was about to answer, Namjoon had to hang up cause the coach was discussing their next tactics. Their team was winning by a big margin though.

“You know Namjoon also?” Taehyung heard it but he was too annoyed to answer. The guy was just too irritating.

“Wait! Don’t tell me you are his boyfr—?”

Taehyung quickly turned and glared at him. Jungkook was a little surprised but he was very intrigued. Taehyung saw his face getting more and more evil. He wanted to wipe that stupid grin off his face.

“So, you are the love of his life that he has been telling us about.”

“Are you friends with Namjoon?”, Taehyung asked him. “And he told you?!”

“He did not really tell us it was you but just the way you look at him is very different from how we look at our friends.”

‘Indeed a psychology student”, Taehyung shook his head rubbing his temple.

“Who else knows?”, Taehyung asked.

“The guy you were looking at earlier.” he pointed at Yoongi. “You are his next target.”

“I am not!!”, He shouted back.

“Well you are going to be. After all, you fell for his dirty tricks”

Taehyung could not believe that these two were Namjoon’s friends. His kind and lovely Namjoon had some very evil friends.

The match went on and on and the two of them were still together with Jungkook teasing Taehyung nonstop. Yoongi had already scored around 43 points and they were now playing the last quarter. As much as Taehyung wanted him to not score the 50 points, whenever Yoongi got the ball, instead of shooting, he would always pass it and let someone else score it. Taehyung, instead of feeling relieved, felt a little disappointed.

‘Is he not interested in me anymore?’, he thought. He quickly shook his head when he realized he should actually be happy about it. ‘What the hell am I thinking?’

Yoongi had noticed how Taehyung reacted when he let someone else score. He saw a disappointed look on his face and he was very pleased.

‘It’s not over yet darling.’, he thought.

There was only about 2 mins more to finish and it was now his time to win the deal. He started scoring more and more and when he finally scored his 50^th points at the sound of the whistle, he immediately looked up at Taehyung and smile.

“You and Me.”, Taehyung gulped when he read the movement of Yoongi’s lips.

“Well.”, Jungkook patted his back. Everyone was now standing and leaving. “You lost the bet. Don’t let Namjoon know about this.”

Taehyung bit his lips and watched the man leave. He saw Yoongi still looking at him and grinning. Taehyung was not very happy.

Well, at least that was how he thought he felt.

Chapter Text

Taehyung slowly went down and waited for Namjoon outside the court. He prayed for him to come out soon and alone because he did not want to see Yoongi together with him. It was already 7pm. Namjoon had texted him that he will be out in a while so he just looked for a place to sit. He looked up at the stars that were shining brightly and it was a beautiful night. After a few moments, when all the spectators had left, Taehyung saw a group of people coming out of the court. He thought it was Namjoon’s teammates but it was actually the other team. He sighed heavily. He wanted him to come out faster and go home already. Folding his arms and crossing his feet, he stayed there looking at the entrance of the court.

“You are still here?”, he heard a familiar voice. He looked at the man who was now sitting next to him on the bench.

“I thought you left!”, Taehyung said with an annoyed look.

“Here”, Jungkook gave him a warm cup of coffee. He had two in his hands. “It’s cold out here.”

“Thank you.” Taehyung looked at him rather kindly this time. He was indeed feeling cold waiting outside for so long.

Jungkook just smiled looking ahead.

“Why are you here though?”, Taehyung asked him.

“We are having dinner together.”

“What? No, we are not.” Taehyung replied.

“I meant we are having dinner with the team.” Jungkook said looking annoyed.

Taehyung rolled his eyes.

‘I don’t want to have dinner with them.’ he thought. ‘especially not with Yoongi.’

Taehyung flinched when he heard people laughing. He looked in the direction and saw Namjoon running towards him. He gave him a quick hug before people noticed.

“We won!”, He said smiling. He looked really happy and all Taehyung could do was smile at him.

“Congratulations.”, He said feeling happy for the man.

“Thank you!”, the voice made Taehyung shiver down his spine. It was Yoongi’s.

The short man grabbed Namjoon and pulled him.

“Let’s go, we are having dinner together.”, Yoongi locked his eyes with Taehyung. “All of us.”

Taehyung watched as he dragged Namjoon away.

Jungkook also grabbed Taehyung’s shoulder and dragged him along.

The four of them sat on one table, their teammates sitting nearby. Taehyung sat with Namjoon facing Jungkook and Yoongi. Yoongi was right in front of him.

****

They ordered some food and started eating. The two players were really hungry and they ate non-stop. Namjoon suddenly choked and Taehyung quickly gave him a glass of water and rubbed his back gently. Yoongi slowly stopped eating when he saw that and he looked at Taehyung. Taehyung did not notice as he was taking care of Namjoon and when he finally turned around to face the guy, he saw a really irritated man looking back at hm.

“Namjoon, how do you know him?”, the captain asked.

“Who? Taehyung? Umm he is my…”,

“Lover!”, Taehyung answered for him and Namjoon completely turned red.

Yoongi did not like the straight forward Taehyung. He just looked back at his food and ate again. Jungkook was enjoying their every behavior.

“Oh, how do the two of you know each other?”, Namjoon said pointing at Taehyung and Jungkook.

Yoongi looked up at the question. He laid his head on his palm and waited for the answer.

“We met in the library earlier.”, Jungkook said. “He is an interesting person, Namjoon.” he grinned at Taehyung.

****

 “Anyways. Please don’t tell anyone that we are dating ok?”, Namjoon told his friends when Taehyung excused himself to go to the bathroom. “I don’t want people to know.”

“Why?”, Jungkook asked. Yoongi just looked at the two.

“Because….I just don’t want them to know.”

Yoongi stood up and headed to the bathroom too. When he got there, he met Taehyung who was about to go back to the table. Yoongi immediately grabbed his wrist and pulled him back to the toilet. He pushed Taehyung against the wall and forcefully kissed him. He had Taehyung all wrapped around him and he could not move. He unbuttoned his shirt and kissed him leaving a red mark just above his chest.

After he was done with the chest, Yoongi went back to his lips and stole another kiss from him. Yoongi pulled off after a little while, both panting. Taehyung’s eyes were wide open because of the shock and he just stared at him blankly.

“Tomorrow.”, Yoongi said, still panting. “Tomorrow night. 9pm, at this place.”

And before he opened the door to leave, he moved closer to Taehyung again and licked his lips.

Taehyung just stayed in the toilet unable to process what had just happened.

“Guys, I have to go.” Yoongi hurried. “See you all tomorrow. Don’t be late for practice.” the captain commanded.

“Yes sir!”, all the teammates replied.

The bills were being paid by the coach so they did not have to worry about it. When Yoongi had reached the exit, he saw Taehyung slowly coming out of the toilet, fixing his button. Taehyung saw him when he looked up and Yoongi noticed that he had a frightened expression.

‘I think I scared him’, He thought. He let out a big sigh.

He looked at Taehyung and gave him a soft smile. “I will see you tomorrow, darling.”

Taehyung immediately blushed.

‘What was that? He was so scary a minute ago and now he acts like an angel smiling like that! I hate that man!’, Taehyung cursed him as he adjusted his shirt. He suddenly bumped his head on the guitar case when he was going back and the person in front looked at him.

“Hey, you are the guy from the train!”, It was a cheerful voice. “We met again.”

Taehyung gave him an awkward smile. ‘OH, MY GOD! You have got to be kidding me!’, he looked up at the ceiling as if looking for someone to blame.

Jin was so happy to see him again. “Are you here to see us play?”, he said excitedly.

“What?”, Taehyung asked tiredly.

Jin looked at him from top to bottom. Taehyungs face was very red as if he had a fever. He quickly grabbed his face and pulled it closer to his own. Their forehead touched and Taehyung could feel Jins breath on his face. Taehyung blushed even more at the closeness and quickly pushed the guy.

“What are you doing?”, He asked him almost wobbling. Taehyung’s vision was becoming hazy and he suddenly fainted, falling into Jin’s arms.

“Ahhh”, Jin got nervous. “EXCUSE ME!!”, He shouted and caught the attention of everyone there. Namjoon and Jungkook also checked what was happening and Namjoon quickly went over to get Taehyung when he saw that he had fainted.

“Tae!!!”, Namjoon slapped his face gently. “Yahh, what happened?”

“He just fainted.”, Jin said with a worried look.

“I have to take him home. Jungkook, could you please call a cab.”

Jungkook nodded and went outside.

“Hmmm..”, Namjoon and Jin heard Taehyung mumbling and moving slowly.

The two both exhaled loudly feeling relieved. Namjoon looked at Jin.

“Do you know Taehyung?”, He asked him.

“Yeah. Taehyung is a friend.”, He lied to him. Jin saw Taehyung slowly opening his eyes.

“Taehyung!”, He yelled and Namjoon turned to look at the guy.

“Namjoon”, Taehyung called out, his voice was too soft and weak. “Take me home.”

He wrapped his hands around Namjoon’s neck and rest his head on his chest. Namjoon lifted the man easily and the two quickly exited the place.

Jin wasn’t pleased seeing how Taehyung had hugged the man. He kind of felt jealous and he was left with a lingering question.

‘Were they seeing each other?’

Chapter Text

Taehyung, Namjoon and Jungkook were in the cab with Taehyung still sleeping. He was so exhausted. He had met so many new people in one day and had talked so much and had also been kissed by Yoongi. Jungkook looked at Taehyung from the corner of his eyes, he saw that some of his buttons were undone. He could see Taehyungs pale skin and he blushed looking away. Namjoon placed his hands on Taehyungs forehead.

“I hope it’s not anything serious.”, He said looking at the man with soft eyes. “I have never seen him faint my whole life.”

Jungkook looked at him. “How long have you guys known each other?”

“We met in high school. I would always follow him around.”, Namjoon laughed remembering the good old days. “Taehyung ignored me at the beginning. He said I was too annoying but somehow he came to like me and then all these happened.”, He smiled again looking at his man.

“Then why do you not want others to know that the two of you are dating?”, Jungkook had wanted to asked that earlier and he finally did.

Namjoon looked at him with his finger on his mouth. “Shhh”

Jungkook looked at him and nodded. Taehyung was still sleeping and mumbling some alien words.

“He is very beautiful.”, Jungkook said. Namjoon glared at him.

“Don’t you dare!”

Jungkook now looked at him with an evil grin. “I don’t like getting in between people. I am not like those people.”, he said. When he meant “those”, he was thinking of Yoongi.

“But if the two of you somehow breakup, I will not stop myself.”, Jungkook said. “He is very interesting. I could watch and observe him all day and never get tired.”

Namjoon rolled his eyes. “We will never breakup. I will not let that happen. You don’t know how long I tried to get him to open up with me.”

Jungkook just sighed and noticed that the cab was nearing his place.

“Sir, could you stop here?”, the car stopped and Jungkook got out.

“Well, Bro. I am gonna go now. Please take care! Good night!”

The car left and Namjoon saw Jungkook still waving at them. Namjoon let out a big sigh.

When they got home, he had to carry Taehyung all the way to the apartment. As soon as they got home, he placed him on the bed and changed his clothes. He noticed a red mark near his collar bone.

‘What is that?’, he thought. The first thing he thought of was hickey but he knew that Taehyung would never do that to him. ‘He must have hurt himself.’

After changing the man, he changed himself and got in the bed. He was still bothered by the mark. He kissed the mark and sucked it deeply, making the mark bigger and noticeable. Satisfied, Namjoon hugged the man and went to sleep.

In the morning, Namjoon was the first one to wake up. He noticed that Taehyung was still sleeping soundly. ‘He must have been very tired.’

Namjoon got ready to go to the basketball practice. He did not want the captain waiting. He was quite the scary one behind that handsome face. Namjoon kissed the sleeping man’s cheek and headed out.

Taehyung woke up at 2pm. It was the first time he had ever slept this long. He woke up slowly, looking around the room.

‘How did I get home?’, He could not remember what had happened and how he even got home. He noticed that the man was long gone and he got up and went to check his phone. Just when he saw the time, he almost dropped his phone.

“Damn! I am late for my class!”, He said rushing to the toilet to freshen himself.

In about 15mins, he got out all ready. He quickly made the bed, got his bag and went running. The train always took about 30mins to get to school, so he knew if he takes that, he would be really late. He decided to take a cab. He got to class at 2:35pm. He was 35mins late for the class but he was relieved that the prof hadn’t said anything or given the class anything to do. He was just lecturing and he knew he could catch up on it if he asked someone for their notes. After the class, Taehyung looked at his phone again. He had failed to noticed earlier that there were 3 missed calls from an unknown number. There was also a missed call from Namjoon. He quickly called him back, exiting the room but Namjoon wasn’t picking up. He looked at the other number. He did not recognize it so he just ignored it.

Taehyung went to the small park near their university and sat there waiting for his next class which was at 6pm until 8pm. He rested his head on the bench. Today was different. He felt very good because he did not have to use his energy to talk to random people like he did yesterday.

Just when he was about to close his eyes, he heard the phone ringing. He quickly answered without even looking at the name.

“Namjoon, you called earlier? I was in class. Sorry”

“Ahem!”, Taehyung heard a voice that did not belong to Namjoon.

He looked at the screen and it was from the unknown number.

“Ah, sorry. Who is this?”

“Taehyung.”, His voice was deep and manly.

“Who is this?”, he asked again. He did not recognize the voice.

“This is Yoongi.”, the answer surprised him. ‘why is he calling me?’

“What do you want?”, He asked.

“We have a date tonight. Don’t you dare forget it.”, His voice was very authoritative. Taehyung could not help but nod over phone. He now remembered what had happened with him last night and he was kind of scared at the man.

“9pm. Yesterday’s place.”, He said. Taehyung could only swallow. Before he could say anything, Yoongi had already hung up.

‘What should I tell Namjoon?’, He thought of an excuse and so he decided to go with extra class.

After his 6pm class that had ended at exactly 8pm, he texted Namjoon and told him that he had an extra class and would be late. He did not want to go to Yoongi but somehow, in the corner of his mind, he knew that if he didn’t, Yoongi would do something to him. With a heavy heart and feeling guilty for lying to Namjoon, he left for the train station. The place was at the 4^th station from their university. He got in the train and stood near the door.

There were many people in the train around this time. The door was about to close when Jin suddenly managed to squeeze through the closing door.

Jin was smiling brightly at Taehyung who looked at him face to face.

“Hi”, he said smiling brightly.

Taehyung ignored him turning around to break the gaze.

“You know I will keep on talking until you answer me.”, he said bringing his guitar case and placing it on the side of the door.

Taehyung looked at him again. “What do you want?”

“How are you feeling?”, He asked, this time his face had a worried look. Taehyung noticed.

“I am fine. Thank you for asking.”

The train suddenly stopped in the middle of the track making everyone inside move against each other. Jin had almost fallen onto Taehyung. He supported himself by placing his hand at Taehyung’s side. Their bodies, so close together. Taehyung had his back against the door. He could feel Jins breath. He smelled good. It was the kind that Taehyung liked. He blushed when he realized that he was unconsciously moving closer to him. Jin smiled noticing that and he purposely leaned in closer.

“Do you like the way I smell?”, he asked, teasingly.

Taehyung blushed and looked away. They were still very close to each other and Taehyung was remembering about last night when Yoongi was also very close to him. He could only think about that forced kiss. He placed his hands on Jin’s chest and pushed him away a little bit.

“Cou—could you please move a little bit.”, Jin agreed. He saw that Taehyung was getting more red and he was worried that he might faint again.

“So, where are you going?”, He asked him finally.

Taehyung’s phone rang again. It was Yoongi. He could have ignored it because he did not want to speak in the crowded place but because of the loud sound coming from the phone, he had to answer it.

“Yes?”, he asked.

“Where are you?”, Yoongi sounded even scarier. ‘Is he angry?’, Taehyung worried.

“I am on my way.”, He replied. ‘It’s not even 9!’, he got a little irritated.

“Be here by 9 or before.”, he commanded.

“Yes.”, Taehyung somehow could not refuse the man. He did not know why. Was it the way he talked to him? He was very controlling.

Jin looked at Taehyung the whole time. He had seen the man flinch a couple of times talking on the phone.

“Who was that?”, Jin was the type who wanted to know everything if he felt something was wrong. He did not like the way Taehyung looked when he was answering the phone.

When Taehyung gave him no answer, he asked again. This time, Taehyung also got irritated with him.

“It’s none of your business.”, He rolled his eyes.

The train door lit up as it came to a stop at the 3^rd station from the university. Taehyung was supposed to get out at the next station when he was pulled and dragged out. He watched as the train left.

“What the hell?!”, He yelled at Jin. “This isn’t my stop.”

“Mine too.” Jin laughed at the angry man. “Let’s spend some time together.”

“I cannot, I have to go somewhere.”

“Who are you meeting?” He asked.

“None of your business!”, He said again.

“Well then—“, He caught Taehyungs hand and dragged him together with him, exiting the train station.

He tried freeing himself but he was strong for a guy who looked really weak, weaker than Taehyung himself. Jin just smiled at his attempts to run away.

‘You are mine tonight.’, Jin smiled at the thought.

“Are you hungry?”, He asked Taehyung. He was. He hadn’t eaten anything since his late lunch at 4pm.

“Let me buy you dinner.”, Taehyung was hesitant at first but he could not handle it anymore. He still had 20mins so he thought it was ok to eat something with him and leave as quickly as he can.

They ate at an open stall near the road. It was good food at a reasonable price. Taehyung wanted to pay for himself but Jin paid as he was the one who dragged him there. When they were eating, a group of kids came up to them.

“Hyung, do you play guitar?”, They asked, beaming at the Jin. They want to see his guitar.

“I do.”, He said smiling. “Do you want to listen?”

They nodded and Taehyung just watched as Jin opened the case and revealed his guitar.

When he started playing, the kids could not help but go ‘wow’. Taehyung also like it somehow. He was drawn to him. Jin looked really good. He had a serious face and it absolutely suits him. He suddenly started singing. It was a coincidence that it happened to be Taehyungs favourite song. He stared at him. His voice was lovely and he looked really attractive.

Jin could not help but smile when Taehyung looked at him like that. He blushed a little. It was the first time he had felt like that. Even when other people looked at him the same way as Taehyung was, he had never felt what he was feeling. It was only after the kids had started clapping that Taehyung came back to reality.

“Did you like it?”, Jin asked him, excitedly.

He blushed. He had found him so attractive, he did not know how to answer. He just nodded. Jin was happy with the reaction.

“I would sing to you every day if you loved it that much.”

Taehyung looked away.

“That was my favourite song, by the way.”, Taehyung did not know why he was opening up to the guy.

“Oh really?”, Jin was surprised himself. “It’s one of my favourite songs too.”

Taehyung only smiled at the response. Jin smiled back.

“You know; you look so good when you smile. It’s a shame you don’t do that very often.”, Jin said with a serious face.

Taehyung blushed. “Well, I usually don’t feel comfortable smiling.”

“Why? You look so good!”

Taehyung smiled again, his awkward but adorable box smile.

After they were done with dinner, Jin dragged him again and the two started to walk side by side. While walking, they would encounter people who would ask to take pictures with Jin. Taehyung was quite surprised at his popularity.

“You are popular.”, Taehyung blurted said making the other guy turn around.

“Hmmm.”, He winked at him. “I am. Aren’t I?”

They reached a park where there was an open podium. Jin got up and asked Taehyung to sit there.

“Any song requests darling?”, he asked. Taehyung suddenly remembered about Yoongi when Jin had called him ‘darling.

He looked at his phone. It was already 9:10. ‘Shit!’

“I am sorry, I have to go!”, He stood up quickly.

“Please?”, Jin looked desperate and hurt. He didn’t want Taehyung to go. “I never see you in university and whenever I see you, you always try to run away or you are with someone else.”, he said moving towards him. Taehyung stood there silently. He did not know whether to go or not.

“Please stay with me tonight. I will walk you home later.”, He said. Jin was a nice person at heart and it was very visible from the way he treated people. Taehyung could not help but admire that personality of his.

He sighed and nodded. It was better to stay with him than to see an angry person at the next station. Jin smiled brightly and somehow, Taehyung also felt happy seeing him like that.

“Now”, Jin sighed, relieved that the man was staying. “Do you have any requests?”

Taehyung automatically replied and Jin started to play his guitar and sing to him. Taehyung felt a little weird with the way Jin was looking at him while he was singing but he did not hate it. The way he looked at him was soft and loving. Like he would protect him from all the worries of the world.

When he finished singing, he dropped his guitar and moved closer to Taehyung. He automatically clapped and smile. Jin leaned down and kissed him softly on the lips. It was different from that of Yoongi, this was very gentle. It felt like he was being very careful with Taehyung. Jin blinked as he moved away. He saw Taehyung looking back at him. He noticed Taehyung moving towards him unknowingly and he quickly got his lips again. It was still a gentle one but a little more forceful this time. He saw Taehyung close his eyes as their lips met. Taehyung had his hands around Jins neck. He liked this. It felt very natural and he felt like he was falling in love with this man.

As they parted the second time, Taehyung slowly opened his eyes and saw Jin looking back at him, never blinking.

“I love you Taehyung.”

Chapter Text

“I love you Taehyung.”

He had heard this so many times from Namjoon. The first time he had been told that, he found it very weird because he hadn’t felt the same way. He just went along with him because he had gotten close and comfortable but after staying together from high school until now, he had started to adore the man and was sure that it was what people called love.

But when the man in front of him right now confessed to him, it felt right. He did not know why he didn’t hate it.

“I love you.”, Jin said again and Taehyung could only stare at him, a soft smile forming. The two just gazed at each other when suddenly, Taehyungs phone started buzzing. He flinched and Jin blinked a couple of times. He quickly took out the phone and answered.

“WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!”, he knew it was Yoongi. “Didn’t I tell you to be here at 9 or before?”

“…”, Taehyung froze, unable to utter anything.

“Look! You come here right now or you are in big trouble.”, Yoongi sounded really angry. Taehyung just closed his eyes when he heard that and Jin noticed it.

“Ok, I will come in a – HEY!“

Jin quickly took the phone from him and Yoongi could hear Taehyung saying no.

“Hello!”, Jin answered.

“Who is this?!”, Yoongi asked. It wasn’t Namjoon. He wanted to know who Taehyung was with.

“I am afraid Taehyung won’t be coming. We have a date and you totally ruined our lovely night.”, Taehyung was trying to get back the phone. “Please don’t bother us anymore.”

He hung up and turned off the phone.

“Who was he?”, He said, returning what belonged to Taehyung.

“TSk! How could you! He will be very angry now!”, Taehyung worried.

“Who is he, Taehyung?”, He asked again. “I don’t want you to go to him. You are obviously scared of that man. He is trying to control you!”.

Jin had seen how he flinched and frowned when talking to that man.
“Please, I am here, Taehyung. I will not let anybody hurt you.”, Taehyung’s worries quickly melted when Jin hugged him and he felt very safe in his arms. 

Yoongi, on the other hand was not very pleased. He slammed the table putting his phone down.

“Who was that man?!”, He said out loud but not loud enough for the people around him to hear.

“Damn, Taehyung!”

Earlier, when it was around 8:40pm, Yoongi was very excited to see Taehyung. He was sure that he would treat the man nicely tonight since he was quite forceful with him yesterday. And when Taehyung wasn’t showing up even after 9, he started to worry since he thought that, maybe, he had scared him just too much. So he had called him to check up but whenever he talked to him, Yoongi’s voice would automatically turn loud and scary and Taehyung would always feel like he was getting scolded. Maybe, that was because he was the captain and they are usually strict and scary.

But Yoongi was now very angry with the unknown man Taehyung was with and the man had said that they were on a date and being disturbed by his phone calls.

Calming himself again, he got the phone and called again.

“The number you have dialed is switched off. Please try again later.”

He bit his lips and his expression was changing drastically on his face. He stood up from the table and left the restaurant. He was there for more than 20 mins just waiting for the man.

“I think he got stood up.”

“Poor Yoongi, how can anyone do this to him?”

Yoongi heard people when he exited the place. He wasn’t really particular about what people thought. He did not really think much about his popularity, he was doing what he loved and people had started following him.

When he got out, he inhaled the chilly air and headed somewhere where he can drink his pain away. Tomorrow was Saturday and he didn’t have to worry about practice. He took out his phone and called a friend to accompany him.

Jin and Taehyung got inside the train. There weren’t many people, just a couple who were a little further away from them. They sat at the empty seats and Jin leaned his head on Taehyung shoulder. He just looked at the man and remembered that it was just yesterday that he had met him in the same train and today, he had already been kissed by the man.

‘Isn’t it going way too fast?’, he thought to himself but he liked it. It was a warm feeling being with this man whom he had not known until yesterday.

Taehyung also leaned his head on the older man’s head and the two travelled to their destination in silence.

Jin gently patted on Taehyung when they got to the 4^th station. It was the station Jin always took the train from. Taehyung quickly stood up when the man held his hand and pulled him.

“Where are we going?”, Taehyung said, rubbing his eyes, then he yawned.

Jin smiled at that. He looked really cute.

“I have a performance. Please stay until I finish and I will reach you home.”

Taehyung looked at the time, it was 10 now. He nodded to the man and was rewarded with a bright smile. Taehyung could not help but smile too.

“I will have to leave by 12 though”, he said.

Jin nodded. “Don’t worry, we will finish it earlier.”

They got to the bar where Jin and his bands always played. They were known as BANGTAN. Taehyung was introduced to his friends. They were quite similar to Jin too. All of them were friendly and approachable.

Jin pulled Taehyung inside the bar and made him sit at the place that could be seen perfectly from the small stage. He didn’t want to waste his time looking for the man when he was performing.

“Stay here. We will be on stage in 20 mins.”, Jin said.

As he stayed there, listening to others play, he felt his eyes closing. He was very tired and since the place was full of people, the warm atmosphere inside was making him drowsier and finally, after struggling to fight and stay awake, he finally leaned his head on the sofa and fell asleep.

Yoongi and Jungkook were in the same bar. This bar was very popular with the students from their university. Everybody went there.

When Jin had pulled Taehyung inside the bar and made him sit at that very place, Jungkook had seen them but he did not tell Yoongi about it. He wanted to observe the man’s behavior. He saw Taehyung feeling uncomfortable at the new place and could see him looking here and there. Thankfully, he had not seen them.

“Jungkook, he stood me up! That guy!”, Yoongi said encircling his finger on the top of the glass. He was still pissed.

“Oh, so what will you do when you meet him?”, Jungkook said still not telling Yoongi that the man was under the same roof.

“I don’t know! I wanted to treat him nicely because I hadn’t given him a good first impression.”

“hmm, hmmm”, Jungkook kept on nodding but he wasn’t really listening. He was just looking at Taehyung who was now drifting away.

It was interesting to see the man try to adjust to the new environment but when he fell asleep, the show was over for Jungkook. There was nothing more to observe. He let out a heavy sigh. Yoongi looked at him in surprised.

“What happened?”, He asked drinking the glass of alcohol in one go. It was his 3^rd.

“One more please!”, he asked the bartender.

“No no!”, Jungkook gestured. “Enough Yoongi, you have already had enough.”

The older man frowned. “Okayy!” three glasses were nothing for him though. Yoongi could have drank more but he was an athlete, he had to take care of his health and body.

Jungkook sighed again. He patted on Yoongi’s shoulder and pointed towards the man who was now in deep sleep.

“Your man is right there.”, He said.

When Yoongi saw Taehyung, he was very surprised but he immediately stood up and went towards him. He had the urge to just shake the guy, wake him up and yell at him but when he saw his tired and sleepy face, everything melted away. He slowly pulled him up and carried him in his arms. Taehyung wrapped his hands around him. He was too deep in sleep that he did not even feel anything. Jungkook followed them outside. Yoongi asked him to help open the car and the two put him at the back seat. Yoongi placed his jacket on top of Taehyung and the three left the place.

After 20 mins of waiting, Jin and his bands were finally on the stage and the first thing he did was look for Taehyung. He had everything imagined in his mind, when he played and sang the song, he would only look at Taehyung and he would wink at him from time to time. But the man he loved was nowhere to be seen.

‘Maybe, he went to the toilet’, he thought.

They started their songs and everyone cheered for them. Jin was their popular and handsome vocalist and many liked him.

Their song ended after 5 mins.

Disappointed that Taehyung hadn’t seen their performance, he directly went to the toilet to check up on the guy. He wasn’t there too. He went inside the café and asked some people, only to find out from the bartender that Yoongi and Jungkook had taken him.

“Tsk”, Jin was a little pissed now, very different from how he always acts.

“Who are those people?”, He asked the bartender.

“I only know Yoongi, I don’t know the other one. Yoongi is the captain of the basketball team.”

Jin just nodded. He felt his fingers clenching and turning to make a fist.

‘Yoongi huh?’

“AHH-CHOO!!!” Yoongi sneezed loudly surprising the man sitting beside him. Taehyung also flinched a little in his sleep.

“HAHAAHA”, Jungkook laughed. “What was that?!”

“Excuse me.” Yoongi said. He also found it funny. “Sorry man, I felt like someone was talking about me!”

“Well, I am sure everyone does.”. Jungkook bid him good night when Yoongi stopped his car near his place.

“Be good to him”, Jungkook said in a stern voice. “He is already too scared of you.”

Jungkook had noticed that since yesterday and he felt pity seeing the older man like that.

Yoongi just nodded and drove again.

They reached his place after 10 mins and he slowly lifted the man and carried him to his place. Yoongi was well off. He came from a rich family but he never really told anyone. Only his close friends like Jungkook and Namjoon knew about it but they still kept quiet.

He opened the door to his apartment and placed the man on his bed carefully. Taehyung, feeling the soft surface, instinctively looked for the blanket and pulled it over his body. Yoongi left the man and went to change himself.

 Taehyung was in deep, deep sleep. Yoongi, sighing, took off Taehyungs clothes and changed them. When he was changing his shirt, he checked on the mark he had left on him yesterday but he was surprise to find it bigger and more noticeable.

‘I’m sure I did not do that’, he thought to himself. ‘Was it Namjoon? Was it that guy from earlier?’, he got angry thinking about it. He leaned in and kissed the place once again. This time he replaced the mark with his own and he could feel Taehyung moving around and wincing. He only let go of it when he finally heard the man groaning.

He smiled and threw the shirt away. He wanted to look at his beautiful, slender body. Yoongi could have had his way with him right now but he was not the type of guy. He had already done too much to the poor man that if he jumped on him now, he was sure that Taehyung would come to hate him and that was something he could not live with.

So instead, he just pulled him closer and cuddled with him. Touching their bodies and exchanging heat, he could feel Taehyung moving closer to him and hugging him back. It felt wonderful. How he wished he could just kidnap the man and run away to a place where there would be only the two of them.

Before Yoongi fell asleep, he leaned in to give a gentle kiss on the man’s lip, wrapped his arms around him tighter and the two fell asleep in each other’s embrace.

Chapter Text

Jungkook opened the door to his place and went inside. He fell on the bed as soon as he got in. He let out a heavy and tired sigh.

‘This is the second time I have seen him like that.’, He thought looking at the ceiling.

As much as Jungkook liked observing Taehyung’s every behavior, when he was all still and asleep, he found him very delicate and fragile like as if a light touch could easily break him away. Sighing again, he closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Taehyung woke up the next day. He liked the warm and cozy feeling under the blanket. He still had two arms holding him from behind and it was the first time he had woken up like that. Slowly opening his eyes and adjusting it to the bright room, he noticed that he wasn’t in his apartment. The place looked much nicer than his and Namjoon’s apartment and it also had a nice, fresh smell to it. He immediately turned around to look at the person sleeping beside him and when he saw his face, chills ran through his spine.

‘Why is he here?’, He was shocked to see the man but he was also very scared. He had ditched him last night to stay with Jin and here he was today, in his arms. He noticed that he did not have a shirt on so he quickly pulled up the blanket to check if his pants were or not. He sighed in relieve when he saw that he still had it on.

Taehyung slowly moved away from him, not wanting to wake up the man. When he was about to get off the bed, Yoongi caught his wrist.

“You are not going anywhere.”, he said, opening his eyes slowly.

Taehyung tried to free himself but Yoongi did not let go.

“How did I get here?”, He asked.

“I brought you here last night.”, he replied, now getting up. His bed hair was hilarious and all Taehyung wanted to do was laugh but he couldn’t because he was scared of the man.

“Please let go of my hand. I have to get home. Namjoon will be very worried.”, he tried to escape again.

“You broke your promise, so you are spending the day with me!”, Yoongi used his usual scary voice. “And who was that guy yesterday? Who answered the phone?!”

Taehyung felt like he was being scolded. All he could do was lower his head.

“tsk”, Yoongi let go of his hand. He noticed how scared he was of him.

“I am sorry. This is just how I speak. I don’t want to scare you.”, he said scratching his head and getting off the bed, he said it a little softer than before.

Taehyung just followed him with his eyes. ‘You are already too scary for me.’, he thought to himself.

Yoongi left for the bathroom. “Don’t you dare leave.”, He used the same scary tone again. “If I find you gone, I will let Namjoon know about what happened and where you were last night!”

His mouth dropped. ‘How dare this guy!’, he could have done whatever he wanted but he was scared that Yoongi might actually do that and if Namjoon found out, what would he do? How would he act? The thought itself was too much for him so he just sat there at the edge of the bed trying to figure out how to escape this scary person.

Yoongi was glad when he saw the man still there in his room.

“I am sorry—“, He heard Taehyung speaking. “I got a bit drunk and slept at a friend’s place.”

Taehyung was talking to Namjoon who had called him 30+ times last night.

“Ah, I am glad that you are fine. I thought something might have happened to you.”

Taehyung just shook his head. “I will see you later. Bye”

“Ok, see you later. I have to work on my songs and lyrics so I will be seeing you in the evening”, Namjoon replied. Taehyung just nodded and hung up.

Yoongi coughed a little when the younger man did not feel his presence. He was shirtless and Taehyung could see waters dropping from his hair onto his pale built body. He unconsciously licked his lips. Yoongi was glad to see the reaction and had a grin on his face.

He walked towards Taehyung, the younger man was struggling not to look at his body. He was indeed very handsome. ‘No wonder everybody likes him.’

When he got close to Taehyung, he put his two hands on each side of the wall as if to block his way and lock him inside those two arms. Yoongi leaned in closer and all Taehyung did was look here and there.

“Wh—what are you doing?”, he asked in a soft voice.

“Looking at you.”, Yoongi said it rather softly but laughed after that. “You are very cute when you act like this.” He pulled away and ruffled Taehyungs hair. “Go freshen up. I will make breakfast.” Taehyung only nodded and went to the bathroom.

Taehyung had been inside the bathroom for more than 30 mins now and the food was getting colder. Yoongi worried if something had happened and went to check on him.

“Taehyung? Are you ok? Did something happen?”, he asked knocking the door lightly.

“WHERE ARE MY CLOTHES?!!”, Taehyung shouted. It surprised Yoongi because it was the first time he had heard him so loud. Giving out a big laugh, he handed him his clothes, not wanting to rile him up this early in the morning.

After a little while, he came out all dressed. Yoongi also had his shirts on. When they met their eyes, Taehyung glared at him.

“aww, I thought you were going to give me a free show too.”, Yoongi teased him. He also wanted to see Taehyung come out without his shirt like he did but he knew that he would never.

“It’s your doing right?! This mark here!”, Taehyung pointed to his collar. He wanted to punch him so bad.

He just smiled but did not reply. “Sit”, he pointed at the chair in front of him. “Your food is getting cold, love”

Taehyung rolled his eyes but he still went and ate his breakfast.

“So, what do you want to do?”, Yoongi asked looking at the man.

“I want to go home and rest.”, the man replied.

“But you already had a good rest. You fell asleep so nicely in my arms.”, Yoongi teased in the evilest way possible. He stood up, moved forward to Taehyung and took his lips by surprise. It was a quick peck. “I even kissed you but you were too dead to even realize.” He said laughing and leaving the table with their plates.

Taehyung made a fist and showed it to the man when his back was against him.

The two man were arguing about what to do. One wanted to go on a date whereas the other wanted to get away from him.

“A deal is a deal.”, Yoongi lectured Taehyung.

“But you cheated!”, Taehyung yelled. He was getting comfortable with Yoongi now. He wasn’t as scared.

“Cheated? I never cheat. You said 50 points and I scored it.”, He said. “You were there watching!”

“But you said 50 was impossible”, Taehyung furrowed his brows looking at the man.

The man just laughed looking at his sad but cute and annoyed face.

“Ohh, how I wished I could just take you away from Namjoon already!”, he said heading to his room.

Taehyung blushed when he heard that.

The two went out for lunch with Yoongi treating. Taehyung wanted to pay but the older man did not let him. Yoongi talked a lot, about sports and his team and how difficult it is to be the captain. But whenever Yoongi talked about these things, he had that passionate tone. He loved what he was doing and he was very happy with it. Taehyung would notice his “rare” nice smile come out, not the evil smirk or grin he always had. It was beautiful and all his fears for this guy was melting away slowly as he learned more and more about him.

The two had already spent half the day together and Taehyung only realized it was 3pm when Namjoon called.

“Taehyung, are you home yet?”, He asked.

“Not yet Namjoon, I am on the way. I had some work to be done. Where are you?”, He lied.

“I am almost done with my work so I will be leaving the library soon.”, he answered. “I will see you later.”

“hmm hmm”, Taehyung nodded.

“Namjoon?”, Yoongi asked. He nodded again.

“Listen, umm… I have to go now. Namjoon said he will be home anytime soon.”, He stood up and Yoongi grabbed his hands.

“Wait, but we are not done yet. I am not satisfied with just this. I wanted to do more.”

“I am sorry but I have to go.”

Yoongi slammed the table and stood up. Taehyung was startled. His fears coming back. Yoongi was quick to noticed that. He let go of his hand and sighed.

“OK, leave.”, he said rather softly. Taehyung could see he was hurt and he felt sorry for the man. He did not know whether he should go or not.

“I said, Go!”, The tone on the word ‘Go’ was a little harsh and Taehyung gulped.

“Thank you for today. I really enjoyed.”, He needed to say something before leaving because that was the only thing that could have been done in that moment.

Yoongi just nodded. He was the first one to leave. Taehyung just watched the man as he walked slowly in the other direction.

Chapter Text

Taehyung opened the door to his apartment and prayed that Namjoon wasn’t there. He wanted to be the one to greet him since he had made the man worried. When he entered, he was glad that the older still wasn’t home. Taehyung went to change. He came back after a while and directly went to the kitchen to make something delicious for Namjoon. He cooked one of Namjoon’s favourite dishes and set it aside. It had already been 1hr since he got home and the man was still not here.

Taehyung checked his phone to see if he had called him or sent him any messages but there were none. He decided to text him and let him know that he was home. He did not get a reply. It was almost 5 now and Taehyung laid on the couch, putting his hands behind his head. He thought of everything that had been happening to him for the past few days. How meeting those people completely changed his quiet and peaceful daily routine. He wasn’t very happy with what was happening to him because he was the type that liked to have his alone time. Usually those times were when he went to the university because at home, there was Namjoon who would not keep quiet at all. He wasn’t that much of a talker so when other people talked to him, he had to put so much effort in continuing the conversation, it made him easily tired.

Now that he had met those people, even his alone time had been taken away. He could not adjust to their level and he usually got tired quickly, hence the fainting in the restaurant and falling deeply asleep in the bar where Jin was singing.

But somehow, he did not hate this change, though he did get tired easily, it brought him excitement. Aside from his usual routine, where he would wake up, go to university, come back, sleep and wake up again, this time, everywhere he went, he would expect something to happen, learn something new and do something new.

As he thought about those things, Yoongi’s sad expression suddenly flashed before his eyes. He felt sorry for him and it was the first time he had seen him like that. He was usually high and mighty because of his captain position but earlier, he looked defeated. Taehyung shook his head and ignored the thought.

He quickly stood up when he realized something. ‘What happened to Jin?’

Taehyung was supposed to be with him until Jin had finished singing and he had told him that he will be the one to take him home but when he woke up, he was in the arms of Yoongi. ‘Did Jin betray me?’, he thought. He was now angry at the cheerful, smiley guy but it wasn’t even Jin’s fault.   

Namjoon came in around 8pm and when he entered, Taehyung had fallen asleep on the couch. Namjoon was not alone though, Jungkook and Yoongi had come with him. Their eyes immediately directed to the sleeping face and Yoongi tried to hide the blush forming on his face because that was the exact face he had seen last night when the two fell asleep together. Namjoon turned to the two with his finger on his lips, “Shhh…”.

He walked towards Taehyung and slowly carried him to the bedroom. Not liking the fact that Namjoon was carrying Taehyung, Yoongi just looked the other way trying to calm himself down from the jealousy he was feeling. After Namjoon laid Taehyung down carefully, he came back and had the two men sit on the couch where Taehyung was just sleeping.

Namjoon went to the kitchen to get some beer. It was Jungkook’s idea for them to go for a drink but Namjoon didn’t want to waste his time and he had wanted to see Taehyung so he had invited them to his place instead.

“Sorry, guys. We could have gone out to drink but I was just so worried about him.”

Yoongi just nodded his head.

“Last time when he fainted, I was so scared. I have never seen him like that. I think it’s the stress”, Namjoon told the two men.

“Fainted? When?”, Yoongi asked with a confused look on his face. He was worried.

“Yeah, the time after the basketball dinner. You had just left and when he came out of the toilet, he fainted.”

“ohhh”, was the only thing Yoongi could utter. ‘Was it because of me?’, he thought.

The three talked about many things with Taehyung still asleep in the next room. They were having a great Saturday night until their alcohol finished and Namjoon decided to go to the store nearby to buy some. Jungkook asked if he needed a hand but Namjoon refused.

Before he left the place, Yoongi asked where the bathroom was.

“Inside the room. Make sure not to wake up Taehyung.”, he said before leaving.

As Yoongi went slowly towards to room, Jungkook put a hand on his shoulder.

“Don’t do anything stupid.”, He said.

Yoongi glared at him and pushed his hand aside. “I won’t.”

When he got in the room, he saw the sleeping figure of Taehyung, he looked so peaceful when he was sleeping. Yoongi had wished he would be there with them while drinking but when he entered the place and saw the man sleeping, he was a little disappointed. He walked towards the bed and sat near him. Brushing his fingers on Taehyung’s soft face, he saw the man slowly moving and mumbling words.

Yoongi smiled. He could have stayed there and watched him all night but he managed to build the courage and leave him there to sleep peacefully.

He came out and Jungkook looked up at the man from the couch.

“What?!”, Yoongi asked rather harshly.

“Nothing.”, Jungkook said. “Glad that you haven’t done something stupid.”

“I am not a kid like you!”

“Well, you are not but you do act like one.”, Jungkook said. He was a little pissed at the older man. Yoongi also had an annoyed look.

After a long silence, Jungkook started, “Look Yoongi, he is already dating Namjoon. I don’t think you should be coming in between them.”

Yoongi sighed. “Jungkook, you and I have known each other for so long now and you know how much I have liked Taehyung from the first day I saw him.”

Jungkook just nodded his head feeling pity for his dear friend.

Jungkook, Yoongi and Namjoon were freshmen at the BTS University when they first met. All three of them were from different colleges but they had the same general education classes. Yoongi and Jungkook were classmates since high school but as for Namjoon, they had just met after entering university. The three went to join the basketball club but only Yoongi and Namjoon were selected and Jungkook was glad that he wasn’t because he had only gone with them because they had forced him to.

Yoongi, being the captain since high school was easily able to get the starting position but Namjoon was usually on the bench.

Yoongi had first saw the second year Taehyung when he came to give Namjoon his lunch box. Taehyung had made it himself in his cooking class. Yoongi immediately fell for the man. “Love at first sight”, he blurted out confusing Jungkook who was sitting beside him.

“what?”, the younger man said. Yoongi was still looking at Namjoon and Taehyung’s direction.

Even when Taehyung left and Namjoon was now heading their way, Yoongi still could not look away from the pretty man.

“Who was he?”, Jungkook asked Namjoon. Yoongi adverted his eyes to Namjoon.

“Umm…He –aa—he is a friend.”, but the other two could see him blushing.

Yoongi knew then that they weren’t just friends but he did not ask. That was the first time he had seen him and after that, he always saw him coming to Namjoon and bringing him food. There was also one time when Yoongi got so jealous of Namjoon that he had given him extra practice just so he couldn’t meet Taehyung in the afternoon when he brought him food. He noticed how Taehyung had a sad expression when he saw that Namjoon wasn’t there. He somehow felt good.

“You evil!”, Jungkook called him. “How could you do this to poor Namjoon?”

“I am sorry ok. This jealousy of mine took over me.”, Yoongi said going somewhere.

“Tsk, Don’t do this Yoongi.”, but the said man was far away to hear what Jungkook had just said.

Namjoon came and sat near Jungkook, all exhausted.

“What happened to Yoongi? I felt like he was angry at me.”, Namjoon said worried.

“No no”, Jungkook said. “His leadership took over him. He is very strict with players when they don’t arrive on time”.

“Ahh,” Namjoon nodded. Yoongi was chosen as the captain for the first year team.

Yoongi came after a while, “Namjoon, here. Sorry, I had to make you do that.”, he said handing him a cold beverage and something to eat. “You were late so I couldn’t just let you off.”

“No worries, captain. I totally understand.”, Namjoon said.

From there onwards, Yoongi would always see Taehyung wherever he went and every time he saw him, he would fall for him more and more but Namjoon never introduced him to them, maybe because he was scared that others might take him away. It was only after the next year (The time of the basketball match), that Yoongi had mustered up the courage to talk to him but when he did, he came out all arrogant and scary. He was so happy when the two fell asleep together that night. Even if Taehyung could not remember, it was something Yoongi would cherish the rest of his life.

It was very silent as the two man stayed there waitng for Namjoon to return. Jungkook was busy playing a game on his phone where as Yoongi was there remembering the time when he first saw Taehyung. He suddenly flinched when Namjoon came through the door. Namjoon raised the plastic bag.

“Let’s drink to our heart’s content.” He smiled. 

Chapter Text

Taehyung woke up feeling a heavy weight on his body. Opening his eyes, he saw Namjoon sleeping with his whole body on top of him. He pushed the guy quickly because he smelled so bad. He smelled of booze and he hadn’t even changed his clothes. Slowly getting up, he went to the bathroom. After a quick shower, he came out, now fresh and ready to begin the day. When he went towards the living room though, he saw that their place was full of mess. Beer cans and bottles were thrown all around, tissues and wrappers filling up the spaces on the floor and two men who were obviously as knocked out as Namjoon.

‘Namjoon invited his friends?’, he thought.

When he went to the kitchen, that was the time he had noticed who they were. Jungkook was on the floor, sleeping with his head on one of the cushions and Yoongi was on the couch. They both looked wasted. Taehyung was going to make breakfast but he was too scared to face them, especially Yoongi and he did not want it to be at his place with Namjoon around. He quickly made his to the bedroom, changed his clothes, got his bag pack and went straight to university even though it was Sunday. Libraries were usually open so he decided to go there.

On the way there, he got a text message from an unknown number.

Hey Taehyung,

This is Hoseok, your partner in the language class.

Are you free today? Do you want to work on our project?

Taehyung had totally forgot about the project. Because of everything happening to him, he wasn’t surprised that he had forgotten it. Taehyung told Hoseok that he was heading to the library and Hoseok replied that he will be there in an hour. Taehyung immediately texted Namjoon that he is in the library and doing a project with his friend. He just prayed that the two friends would have left when he returned later.

Taehyung looked for a quiet and empty place when he got to the library. He quickly found one since there weren’t many students on Sundays. He went to get some books for his culinary classes as he waited for Hoseok to get there.

“Taehyung!”, Hoseok yelled.

“Shhhhhh!!”, the students nearby glared at him. He just bowed his head and walked towards him as fast as he could. He was all embarrassed when he got to him and Taehyung could not help but let out a soft laugh. Hoseok also followed him.

“Sorry for being late.”, he said quietly this time.

Taehyung just shook his head. “So, what do we do?”, Taehyung asked.

“This book here,” Hoseok said taking out a big book. “We have to read this and analysis on what the author is actually trying to say. But it’s our own opinion so I don’t think there’s actually like a correct answer to it.”, he shrugged.

“hmm hmm”, Taehyung nodded again.

“So how do we do this?”, Taehyung asked as he looked through the book. “There’s only one book.”,

“Ah, you can go ahead and read first, I will take over from where you stop.”, Hoseok said smiling. “I am gonna have to take the book, so I will do the rest of the reading at home.”

“Oh ok but don’t you think it’s a bit too much work for you?”, Taehyung asked again. Somehow, talking with him wasn’t a pain, he felt really comfortable.

“No problem. I am from the college of communication so this book is nothing compared to the others we have to read.”

Taehyung looked at Hoseok and Hoseok gave him a bright smile as if letting Taehyung know that he was ok with it.

Taehyung took the book and started reading it. The two never spoke after that. Taehyung was very busy trying to understand what the book was trying to say whereas Hoseok was pretending to write some notes on his book when all he was writing was,

Taehyung is pretty,

Taehyung is beautiful,

Taehyung is lovely,

Taehyung is amazing.

Hoseok had used all the adjectives he could use to possibly describe Taehyung. He was sure that he would die if the man ever saw the note but Taehyung was too busy reading to even notice the guy peeking at his beautiful face from time to time. Hoseok would smile looking at the concentrated man. He would notice the younger furrowing his brow when he could not understand what he was reading.

‘Very cute’, he thought as he unconsciously placed his head on his palm and stared straight at the man.

Taehyung wanted to ask Hoseok what one of the paragraphs from the book meant but when he looked up, he saw the man gazing at him. Hoseok’s lips slowly formed a smile when the younger man noticed him.

“Hoseok?”, He asked.

“Hmmm~”, it was very soft. He liked Taehyungs voice and the way he said his name was music to his ears. He could listen to it all day.

“What does this paragraph say? I don’t quite understand.”, Taehyung asked, still furrowing his brows.

Hoseok shook his head when he came to his senses and he saw how Taehyung was looking at him. He blushed a little.

“Sorry, what did you say—ahh—the paragraph? Which one?”, Hoseok got nervous.

Taehyung passed the book and pointed.

“Ohh that one? Its.……….” Hoseok explained to him very clearly.

“Oh so that’s what it meant. Thanks!”, Taehyung went back to reading.

‘Phew! That was a close one.’, he thought as he tried to stay concentrated. Hoseok had already finished reading the book. He could have finished doing the project by himself but he did not want to make Taehyung feel uncomfortable because just one person doing the work was not fair. He had also wanted to see him outside of class, so the project thing was also an excuse for them to meet.

Half way through the book, Taehyung could not help but feel sleepy. He was drifting off but he still tried to stay awake because he did not want Hoseok to be the only one working on it. Taehyung wasn’t the type that read books so much, he was one of those who liked books with pictures so when the book he was reading right now were just words and sentences, he could not help but feel sleepy.

Hoseoks eyes followed the man’s head as he leaned down and fell asleep.

He laughed softly not wanting to wake the man. He took the book and placed it aside. He also leaned down and laid his head on his hands observing the sleeping beauty’s face. He looked very peaceful as he slept like that. Hoseok lifted his hand to brush the hair from Taehyungs face and place it behind his ears.

‘He is so cute. I want to hug him’. Hoseok held back to urge to do that. He placed his hand on Taehyungs cheek this time and pinch it a little bit.

‘Hehehe what a cute cheek’, he thought giggling. He could see Taehyungs face twitching a little when he did that.

It was just the two of them in the library with the neighbouring students now gone and all Hoseok could do was just stare at him and take in every detail of the younger man.

Chapter Text

Hoseok opened his eyes to a shocked man in front of him. He had fell asleep holding Taehyungs hand and Taehyung had pulled this hands abruptly from the man making him wake up.

“What were you doing?”, He asked with a furrowed expression.

“I am sorry! It was an accident” was all Hoseok could utter.

“I have to leave now. I will give you my analysis on Tuesday. Bye”, Taehyung left as quick as he could.

“Bye”, Hoseok frowned as the man disappeared from sight.

When Taehyung got home, he saw Namjoon all dressed up.

“Where are you going?”, was the first thing that came out of Taehyung’s mouth.

“OH, Taehyung!”, He said looking at the guy. “I haven’t seen you awake in a while.” Namjoon teased. He was telling the truth though. After that faithful night where he had fainted, Namjoon had only seen the sleeping Taehyung.

“So, where are you going?”

“Oh, I did not finish my work yesterday, so I am going to a friend’s place to finish it.”, Namjoon gave him a peck as he opened the door to leave.

“Bye”, he said.

“Bye bye!”, Namjoon replied.

Taehyung looked around the house and saw that it was much cleaner than this morning. He didn’t have anything to do at home too so he just took out his cook book and started cooking in small portion so that he could taste each dish himself and not let it go to waste.

Namjoon came home rather late. It was already 10 and Taehyung had been watching tv.

“Hey! How was it? Were you able to finish?”, He asked.

“Yea—yeah!”, Namjoon smiled but he had a worried expression. Taehyung wasn’t sure if he wanted to ask what happened but he knew that Namjoon would come around and talk to him about it but he never did.

He came back to the living room after taking a shower and Taehyung pointed at the food he had cooked for him. Namjoon gave him another peck on his cheek as he made his way to the kitchen to eat his late dinner.

“It’s delicious Taehyung.”, he said smiling. He looked normal now but Taehyung was still bothered about the worried expression he had earlier.

“I am glad you liked it.”, he replied going back to watching tv again.

After he was done with dinner, Namjoon joined Taehyung on the couch and laid his head on Taehyung’s lap, looking up at the guy whose eyes were focused on the television.

“Look at me.”, Namjoon said wanting to get Taehyung’s attention.

He looked down at the request and gave him the sweetest smile Namjoon had ever seen.

Namjoon stood up a little and kissed Taehyung’s lips. It was very brief though. Going back to his position, he smiled at the younger man.

“What?”, Taehyung was blushing because Namjoon was looking at him rather differently but in a loving way.

“Hmmm~ why are you blushing?”, he asked.

“Because you are staring at me and I don’t know what to do.”

The older man quickly stood up and pulled him in his arms, Taehyungs back against his chest and he wrapped his hands around his waist.

Taehyung turned around a little to look at the man’s face. He still looked worried.

“Why do you have that expression?” Taehyung asked.

Namjoon’s eyes widened but Taehyung was unable to see it.

“Did something happened?”, Taehyung asked again.

“I—ahh—I—Taehyung?”, Namjoon did not know what to say.

“Hmmm?”

“I feel that you have been drifting away from me.”, Namjoon’s grip got a little tighter.

“Why would you say that?”, Taehyung freed himself from Namjoon’s embrace and turned around to face him. He cupped his hands on his cheeks and gave him a soft kiss on his lips.

“I am not Namjoon. Look, I am here and I will always be here for you! Ok?”, Taehyung nodded his head. Namjoon also nodded back. Taehyung hugged the poor man and his heart filled with guilt. He had been enjoying the changes happening to him for the past few days that he had made Namjoon so worried and now Namjoon was thinking that Taehyung was leaving him. He felt angry at the people he had been seeing but mostly he was angry at himself cause he had enjoyed the kiss with Jin whom he had only met a few days ago and felt like he was falling in love with him and then there was Yoongi who always interrupted his line of thoughts and just earlier, there was Hoseok who was holding his hand while the two had fallen asleep in the library.

‘How could I do this to Namjoon’, He thought to himself. ‘He has loved me so much. Much more than I love myself’

Taehyung finally pulled away from Namjoon after a long silence.

“Wanna go to bed?”, He asked the man. Namjoon nodded. “Let’s go.”

When the two got in bed, Namjoon hugged the man as Taehyung’s hands trailed to the back of Namjoon’s head. He massaged his head gently and saw the man slowly closing his eyes. He looked really tired.

He kissed Namjoon’s neck as he moved in closer for more warmth.

Namjoon shot opened his eyes in the middle of the night. The man who was in his embrace had now turned his back against him. Namjoon was panting and sweating. He had had a very bad dream. He looked over to the man next to him, his face giving of the same expression that Taehyung was worried about just earlier.

‘I am sorry, Taehyung. I screwed up. Shit! I screwed up!’, his mind kept on telling him as he pulled his blanket over his head and tried to get himself back to sleep.

Chapter Text

Namjoon had woken up early and left for university and Taehyung had just finished reading the text he had sent him. Namjoon mentioned that he would be a little late today as he was busy doing project for one of his subjects.

Even though it was early, Taehyung got ready to go and as he made his way to the train station, he heard a familiar voice calling out to him.

“Taehyung! You take the train too?”, it was Hoseok.

He nodded.

“Nice, let’s go together then. Do you have a class at 10?” Hoseok asked.

“My classes are at 2pm”, Hoseok raised a brow.

“Why are you so early then?”, The train had arrived and the two got inside.

“I am gonna work on the analysis. I will give you the paper tomorrow.”, Taehyung said sitting a little further from Hoseok. He noticed the man moving a little away from him but Hoseok just ignored it.

“Sure, no problem.”, He smiled but he felt a little hurt.

Taehyung was still thinking of what Namjoon had told me about how he was drifting away from him. That’s why he was more focused today and wanted to avoid all unnecessary contact with people he did not know very well.

Hoseok, being the cheerful and talkative one, kept on talking with Taehyung and he didn’t have a choice but to reply to some of his questions because he did not shut up if Taehyung did not answer.

When they reached the last station, the two exited along with some of the students from their university. Hoseok kept on following the man and Taehyung knew that if he went to the main library, Hoseok would just end up following him there too, so when they reached the intersection, he quickly turned to Hoseok.

“I am going that way.”, Taehyung pointed towards his college.

“Oh, you are not going to the main library?”, Hoseok asked in surprised.

“No, it’s probably crowded so I am just gonna go to our college library. BYE!”, Taehyung waved walking away as fast as he can.

Hoseok frowned as he walked to his class.

When Taehyung was half way to his college, he saw Jin coming towards his direction.

Taehyung quickly turned around and walked the other way.

“Yah—Taehyung!”, he called out.

He immediately stopped. ‘Damnit!’

Jin ran to him. Surprisingly, he didn’t have his guitar with him today.

“I have been looking for you!”, he said coming near Taehyung.

“What do you want?”, he asked. Taehyung was still annoyed with Jin because he still thought that Jin was the reason why he woke at Yoongi’s place.

“Why did you leave the bar without even telling me? You said you would watch me sing and when I was finally on the stage you were nowhere to be seen!”, Jin’s voice got louder and louder with each words. “The bartender said you went home with someone name Yoongi. Who is he? Are you dating him?”, He moved closer making Taehyung flinch.

“It’s none of your business. Please leave.”

“It is my business because I love you.”, Jin said holding Taehyungs hand. “And I don’t want to lose you to someone else.”

Taehyung blushed a little when he heard that and remembered that lovely time with him but before he was able to respond, somebody grabbed his arms and pulled him away from Jin.

“Ju—Jungkook!”, Taehyung stuttered. “Why are you here?”

Jungkook had been watching and listening to their conversation and he had had enough when Jin told Taehyung he loved him.

Jungkook pulled him aside and glared at Jin when he tried to say something.

 “You have to let them know who you are dating Taehyung, you cannot let this go on.”, Jungkook told him gripping his arms tightly.

“Ack! It hurts, Damnit!”, Taehyung could only complain.

“Do it now!”, he commanded.

“Who the hell are you?!”, Jin asked Jungkook.
Jungkook glared at the man again, ignoring his question. Jungkook had come to hand Taehyung the book Yoongi had stolen from his place yesterday morning when they had left. Yoongi’s plan was to make Taehyung come to him for the book but Jungkook was too tired and fed up with this back and forth relationship that was going nowhere and was only creating more problems that when he had visited Yoongi’s place, he had stolen the book and was now here, returning it.

“This is the last time I will be telling you Taehyung. Your situation is going out of hand. You are already involved with more than 2 people and if you don’t settle it soon, you will lose everyone!”, Jungkook’s words sounded very scary but Taehyung knew it was the truth. He cannot go on like this for so long. He took a deep breath and nodded to Jungkook. He let go of his arm and left the scene.

“Who was he? And What did he say?”, Jin asked, his cheerful personality was nowhere to be seen.

“Jin, here’s the truth.”, Taehyung looked him directly in the eyes. “I am already dating someone and his name is Kim Namjoon.”

“HAHA Namjoon? The one from the college of Music?”, he laughed. “No you are not! That guy just now told you to say that!”

“He did but it’s the truth.”, He said again, this time his voice was firm. “Namjoon and I have been together since high school so I cannot do this with you.”

Jin could not say anything for quite some time and Taehyung was getting more and more anxious.

“Why are you telling me this now?”, Jin broke the silence. He voice was wavering and Taehyung knew he had hurt the man. “You could have told me that when we first met.”

“I am sorry. I never thought it would turn out this way.”, Taehyung told him. “But I was very happy when you told me you liked me. I am just very sorry that I cannot return your feelings.”

Taehyung was feeling bad now. When he had first gone out with Jin, he knew for sure that he was falling for him but after what Namjoon had told him yesterday, all he felt was guilt. He felt very guilty for having enjoyed his time with Jin and now, whenever he thought about it, he just felt the guilt and pain growing more and more.

“Just one last question, who is Yoongi?”, He asked Taehyung not meeting the eyes.

“He is also someone like you that I cannot return the feelings of.” Taehyung replied and Jin just sighed.

“Well, so much for a great morning!”, Jin said passing by Taehyung. Heading towards his college.

Taehyung felt very bad for Jin who had tears in his eyes. Taehyung had pretended not to notice.

Chapter Text

Taehyung could not concentrate in class. Not after how hurtful he was to Jin. The guy always had a cheerful face with a smile that could brighten up anybody’s day but after their small conversation, Jin had become expressionless. His eyes were filled with tears that, in any second he blinked, it would run down like a river.

Taehyung felt very guilty and it also pained him to see Jin like that. Taehyung, though he was very distant and aloof with people, he never liked disappointing them. If he managed to make a friend, he would want to keep them as happy as he can. He was a very lovely person deep inside but his looks made him look otherwise.

Tapping his fingers on the table, Taehyung looked outside from his class window and thought about how to tell Yoongi the same thing he had told Jin. He was too scared to even face the man and to say something like that to him, face to face, Taehyung was sure Yoongi would eat him up. But he didn’t have a choice, he had to do it for Namjoon. Even if Yoongi already knew about his relationship with Namjoon, he still needed to tell him that he was Namjoon’s and he cannot be with anyone else.

After the class, Taehyung decided he will go to Yoongi’s college. When he got there, everybody looked at him with strange eyes. Everyone was wearing their sports clothing and Taehyung was the only one wearing the uniform. Ignoring the stares, he quickly made his way to the basketball court to see if he could find Yoongi.

He did see students practicing but he could not find the man.

Taehyung sighed. On the way back, he saw Yoongi coming from afar but he was not alone. He was with some of his teammates and by the look on his face, he did not look very happy. Taehyung went to the side and hid himself.

“Sorry, Cap! We didn’t—“

“SHUT UP!”, Yoongi yelled. Taehyung flinched behind the tree.

The three boys quickly lowered their heads and followed the captain. Taehyung could tell those boys were freshmen since they looked really young.

“Listen”, Yoongi turned around. Taehyung peeked from behind the tree to see what was happening. “If this ever happen again, I will kick all three of you out of the team! You hear me!”, The boys flinched. They still could not face the man who was boiling with anger. They only nodded.

“You all are disgrace to the team and the college!”, Yoongi shouted again. “This is my last warning and don’t you dare test my patience!”

“But they started it—“

“Get out of my sight!”, His voice was very scary. Never had Taehyung seen Yoongi like that. “Now go back and practice and the three of you will not leave until I say so!”.

The three nodded again and ran towards their college.

“Those brats! Because of them, coach got angry at me!”, Yoongi complained. He slowly started to walk towards his college when he saw a figure behind a tree. He thought it was just some students, so he ignored it.

Taehyung sighed when he saw Yoongi disappear in the distance.

‘Thank god! He didn’t see me’, Taehyung thought. Even if Yoongi wasn’t yelling at him, he was also scared as the three poor boys.

‘I don’t think I can talk to him today, not when he is like that.’

Taehyung gave up and went straight home. He would always come home to Namjoon watching tv or sleeping but today was different. He wasn’t there. Taehyung felt a little weird because he was always the one who always got home late.

‘Namjoon must be very busy with assignments’, he thought and like always, he went to the kitchen, cooked something for himself and Namjoon and went to the living room to watch tv.

This semester, especially, Taehyung had noticed that he and Namjoon hasn’t spent so much time together. What Namjoon had told him always lingered in his head but he could also say the same thing. ‘Namjoon, you are drifting away from me too.’

Taehyung had fallen asleep yet again when Namjoon entered the house. It was 7pm but Namjoon had no intention of waking up the younger one. He went straight to the bedroom and changed his clothes. He came back out quickly. Somehow, Namjoon was in a hurry but he felt a little bad for Taehyung. Namjoon still had the same expression from last night and he looked more and more worried but for some reason, he did not want Taehyung to know about it.

Moving towards the still body, Namjoon brushed back the lock of hair in front of Taehyungs face and placed a soft kiss on his forehead before leaving the place.

It was already past midnight when Taehyung woke up. He quickly stood up and went to check if Namjoon had come or not but he could not find him. He quickly called him but he wasn’t picking up. Taehyung now worried. He tried calling again and again but there was no reply. He had also sent him many texts. He wanted to ask one of Namjoon’s friends but the only number he had of was Yoongi’s and he was in no condition to talk to the scary captain. He wished he had Jungkooks number.

At last, Taehyung didn’t have a choice but to text Yoongi. It took him a while to tap the ‘SEND’ button but when he finally did, he threw his phone away from him, waiting for it to vibrate.

5 mins past and Taehyung still had his eyes on his phone, it was never vibrating. Taehyung went to check if the text he had sent had been delivered or not and as soon as he got the phone, it finally vibrated. It was as if Yoongi was waiting for Taehyung to get the phone.

But instead of texting, Yoongi was calling him. He let it ring for a while before he answering it.

“Why are you sending me text messages? Isn’t it easy to call and ask?”, Taehyung heard from the other line.

“Yoongi, ha—have you seen Namjoon today?”

“If you are going to ask me about Namjoon, I am going to hang up. I don’t want to waste my time talking about your boyfriend.”, Taehyung could sense the seriousness in his voice.

“But—wait! Please, have you seen him? He is not home and I am very worried. He is not picking up his phone too!”, Taehyung had never felt like this. He was always the one coming home late so this was the first time Namjoon hadn’t come home.  

Taehyung heard Yoongi sighing.

“He is here. The three of us went drinking. He and Jungkook are already asleep.” Taehyung exhaled very loudly, he was relieved that Namjoon was with his friends. Taehyung was imagining all sorts of situations, like Namjoon getting involved in fights, accidents, etc. He was like a mother right now, worrying for her child.

“You can come to my place and get him if you want.”, Yoongi said.

Taehyung couldn’t. “It’s ok. I trust you and Jungkook. I am sure Namjoon must be tired so let him be there.”

“hmmmm. You trust me?”, Taehyung heard Yoongi’s tone changing in a teasing manner. “Are you feeling lonely without him? Do you want me to come over since you are alone there?”

Taehyung blushed. “Shut up! I am hanging up!”

He heard Yoongi laughing. “Sure love and next time, if you ever text or call me to ask about Namjoon, I will kill you!”, Taehyung gulped. “You know how much I love you and you still have the guts to ask me about Namjoon—“

Taehyung quickly hung up without letting him finish his sentence. He was too flushed. He calmed himself and started to work on his paper for the Language class.

Yoongi looked at his phone blankly as the call screen went back to home screen after Taehyung had hung up. “Tsk”

Yoongi shuffled through his camera roll and tapped on one of the pictures. It was a picture of Taehyung’s sleeping face. Yoongi had taken it when he had laid the man on his bed after bringing him home from the bar.

“Don’t make me jealous than I already am, Taehyung.” He said at the picture.

Sighing again, he went through his phone, but this time he was calling someone.

The phone rang for a while and the person finally picked up.

“Where are you, Namjoon?”

“I am at home. Why?”, Yoongi furrowed his eyes. ‘Home?’ He knew something was up.

“You haven’t been coming for practice. I need you to come tomorrow or else you are out of the team.”, Yoongi told him and he heard the man sighing. It was an excuse he had just come up with. All Yoongi wanted to know was where Namjoon was right now.

“Ok, I will. I will be there tomorrow!”, Namjoon replied. “Good night, Captain”.

As he turned off his phone, Yoongi could not help but wonder why Namjoon was lying.

‘What is he doing to Taehyung?’

‘Did something happen between the two?’



A/N - Merry Christmas y'all :)

Chapter Text

It was already an hour into practice and Namjoon has still not arrived. Yoongi was getting angry with every passing minutes. The court was filled with the sounds of balls bouncing, the screeching of the shoes, the thumping sounds as the players ran back and forth. These sounds were usually music to Yoongi’s ears but today was different. Each sounds added up to his anger as he waited for Namjoon to come. Yoongi had already sent him a text earlier because he wasn’t picking up his phone.

It was only after the practice was over that Namjoon had arrived, surprising everyone. Yoongi was beyond pissed seeing the man and on top of that, he wasn’t wearing his jersey.

“Namjoon!”, Yoongi shouted from the center of the court. He gestured Namjoon to follow him to the room that was usually used by the coach and the manager. 

Namjoon complied.

Namjoon closed the door of the room as he entered and Yoongi was standing at the other side with his hands folded.

“What’s going on, Namjoon?”, he asked.

“I think I’m going to quit, Yoongi”, he said sitting on the empty chair.

“I don’t care whether you quit or not.”, Yoongi said looking intensely at the guy. “Just answer my question. What’s going on? You haven’t been yourself lately.”

As much as Yoongi was angry, he tried to be a good friend to Namjoon who was clearly going through something.

“Taehyung called me last night and asked me if I had seen you”, Namjoon looked up at him, surprised. “I told him, we went out for drinks and that you and Jungkook had already fallen asleep at my place.”

Namjoon lowered his head again, guilt on his face.

“When you told me you were home, I knew you were lying”, Yoongi walked up to his friend and placed his hand on his shoulder, “So, tell me Namjoon. Where were you and what were you doing?”

“I—uhh—“, Namjoon gulped. “I think Taehyung will leave me if he finds out.”

“What?”

“I don’t know…I cannot let this happen! I cannot let him leave me.”

“What the hell are you talking about?”

Namjoon looked at Yoongi with eyes full of guilt.

“Yoongi, there is this girl that I met 3 months ago and she…..”

Yoongi punched Namjoon really hard knocking him off the chair he was sitting.

“Namjoon, I had so much respect for you!”, Yoongi said looking down at the man who was on the floor. “Taehyung loves you so much and you do this to him? And you still want him by your side? You selfish bastard!”

Namjoon struggled to stand up. The pain on his face was too much to bear and he could taste blood in his mouth.

“Ack! What the hell Yoongi. What’s your problem?”, He said, finally standing. “This doesn’t concern you ok! It’s between him and me.”

Yoongi clenched his teeth, he grabbed Namjoon by his collar.

“If you hurt Taehyung even a little bit, there will be no one angrier than me. I am telling you Namjoon.”, Yoongi warned him and Namjoon could see the deathly glare.

“Why do you care so much?”, Namjoon yelled, shoving Yoongi.

“Because I love him! I always have!”.

Namjoon just stood still looking at the man blankly. When he came back to his senses, Namjoon found himself getting more and more angry.

This time, Namjoon was the one who punched Yoongi and he made a cut on Yoongi’s lips. It was bleeding. He had never imagined Taehyung with another man, so when he knew it was possible, he snapped. He was the possessive type.  

Yoongi punched him back and the two had started to fight. The fight was stopped when Jungkook barged in the room and pulled the two away.

“What is going on here?!”, It was the first time Jungkook had shouted like that. “You guys are friends!”. Jungkook wanted to beat the two up. He was probably the strongest one among the three.

“Why are you here?”, Yoongi said. He tried to stand up but was too weak to even do that, so he just laid on the floor like Namjoon.

“Why are you two fighting?”, Jungkook asked again, this time lowering his voice a little.

“Yoongi started it!”, Namjoon said.

“Me? It was you!”

“You punched me first!”

“ArgghhHHHhh! Shut up! SHUT UP!”, Jungkook had enough. “Don’t tell me it’s because of Taehyung!”, Jungkook knew considering the fight was between Yoongi and Namjoon, Taehyung was likely the answer.

“How did you know?”, Namjoon asked.

Jungkook sighed and looked at Yoongi. “You should tell him man.”

“I already did”, Yoongi replied.

Jungkook and Yoongi told Namjoon everything about how it had all started but when Yoongi was about to tell Namjoon about the night when Taehyung slept at his place, Jungkook stopped him. He didn’t want Namjoon to hear about that since the guy was already feeling very down. Sometimes, you just have to leave some things out for it to go back to normal.

Namjoon also told Jungkook what he had told Yoongi earlier and Jungkook was shocked.

“Y—you serious?”, He asked.

Namjoon just nodded.

“But do you love her? What will happen to Taehyung if he finds out?”, Jungkook said again.

“He is going to be mine.”, Yoongi joined the conversation. Namjoon glared at the man.

“I don’t know how I feel about her but I like being around her”, Namjoon felt guilty saying that but he was telling the truth. He liked being with the girl.

“What about Taehyung then?”

“I love Taehyung, that’s why I feel guilty because I cheated on him and you all know how he is right? He will forgive me for everything I have done.”

This time, Yoongi stood up and walked towards Namjoon again. Jungkook stood up to stop him but he brushed him off.

“Look, Namjoon. You have to choose between him and that girl.” He smacked Namjoon’s back. Namjoon only glared again. “They say that if you truly loved your partner, you would never fall in love with another person.”

Namjoon laughed. “You are saying that so you can take Taehyung away from me right?”

“Yes and I would keep him happier than you” Namjoon laughed again but Yoongi was serious. There was no doubt that the man was really in love with Taehyung.

“You have to tell him, Namjoon” Jungkook told the older man. “Before it’s too late.” It felt like Deja vu for Jungkook. Just yesterday, he had told the same thing to Taehyung.

“I am not ready yet.”, Namjoon stood up and headed for the door. “But if somehow, Taehyung does leave me, please take good care of him, Yoongi.”

Yoongi was a very nice and caring person inside. It was only because he was the captain that he had developed the scary appearance and character.

Yoongi smiled. “Don’t you dare let those wounds be an excuse to get sympathy from Taehyung!”, Yoongi shouted as Namjoon left.

Namjoon could only smile when he heard that from behind the door.

A/N - Merry Christmas Again :)

Chapter Text

Taehyung’s language class had just ended and he met Hoseok outside of class. Hoseok invited him for a drink after class but Taehyung politely rejected. He knows Namjoon’s schedule and by this time, he should be home. Taehyung wanted to see him since it felt like a long time since they had seen each other at home.

“You are free though. Please, I beg you Taehyung~”, Hoseok whined.

“I am sorry Hoseok but I really have to go.”, Taehyung walked away but he stopped midway. “I totally forgot. This! The analysis from the parts I have read.”, he gave Hoseok the thick paper assignment. Hoseok got the papers from him and when he turned around to walk again, he felt Hoseok’s hands holding him.

“What?”, He asked.

“Taehyung, please”, Hoseok wanted to spend some time with him.

“I am sorry, I can’t. I really have to go home.”

“But—“

“I said no.” Taehyung pulled his hands. He was getting irritated at Hoseoks stubbornness.

As he walked towards the train station, he felt someone following him and what do you know, it was Hoseok again. Taehyung was at his limits now. He walked towards the man.

“Hoseok, I don’t know if you like me or not but from what I noticed last Sunday, I think you do.”, Taehyung was very sure about this. If not, he would have died of embarrassment. Hoseok just nodded in agreement.

“So, I will tell you this before it gets any serious. I am already in a relationship with someone so please stop this.”

Hoseok froze there. He had been rejected before he had even confessed.

“You are really nice Hoseok and I feel very comfortable around you. I felt we could become good friends but if you have feelings for me, I cannot help but avoid you because nothing will happen between us.”

Hoseok had heard enough for today. He did not say anything to Taehyung and just passed by him. Taehyung watched the man take the train and leave. Taehyung had waited for him to leave first because he did not want to be in the same train and they got out at the same station so it would have been more awkward.

Taehyung got home and for the first time in so long, he saw Namjoon there but in bruise. Taehyung dropped his bag as soon as he saw the condition he was in.

“Oh, my god! Please don’t tell me you were in a fight last night!”, Taehyung quickly went to help the boy.

“Haha, no no. I just had a conflict with Yoongi.”, Taehyung’s eyes grew. ‘Yoongi?’

“You fought with Yoongi?”, He asked.

“Yeah”, Namjoon laughed. “But it was a silly misunderstanding.” It wasn’t silly at all. It was something very huge but Namjoon was not ready to tell Taehyung yet.

Taehyung helped him cover up his wounds and let him rest. Namjoon had fallen asleep when Taehyung was cooking dinner for him. He looked very peaceful. All that worried expression he had seen last time was nowhere visible and Namjoon looked relaxed.

The dinner was already prepared and Taehyung wanted to wait for Namjoon to wake up so that the two can eat together after so long. He sat on the couch and pulled out his phone. He wrote a text and wondered if he should send it or not. Somehow, in the corner of his heart, he was worried about Yoongi too. He was going to send it but he suddenly remembered what Namjoon and Jungkook had said so he deleted it. He sighed and went to the bedroom to sleep with Namjoon. As he got in the blanket, Namjoon automatically wrapped his arms around Taehyung. This was how the two always slept and it seemed like they haven’t been doing this for a long time.

Yoongi was on his bed looking through his phone. He was looking at Taehyung’s pictures again. He wondered if Namjoon had told him everything. He knew Taehyung would get hurt when he finally finds out but he still wanted Namjoon to tell him. Yoongi wanted to be with Taehyung during his healing time and hoped that Taehyung would fall in love with him after that. Yoongi knew he was being very selfish. He wanted happiness through some one’s sadness. The whole night, Yoongi kept on looking at his phone, hoping for Taehyung to call him.

Chapter Text

Days and weeks went by, Yoongi and Namjoon’s wounds were now completely healed though some scars could still be seen. Namjoon and Taehyung’s life had come back to its original state where the two always met for dinner and both were never late coming back home.

Taehyung hadn’t seen Yoongi and Jin in the past few weeks. Taehyung had gotten so many calls and text from Yoongi but he never replied and so, after a while, he had stopped. Taehyung started going to university with Namjoon early in the morning and though they were very lovey-dovey at home, Namjoon always kept his distance when they were in public, especially in the university.

Yoongi and Jungkook had seen the two together every time and Yoongi felt defeated seeing the two happy. Yoongi always had the urge to tell Taehyung the truth because he knew that Namjoon was never going to but Jungkook stopped him every time.

Jungkook always told Yoongi not to interfere in their lives and had also set him blind dates a couple of times but it always ended with Jungkook consoling the crying girl who had been stood up by the devil man, Yoongi.

Yoongi had fallen too deep for Taehyung that no other women or men interested him. But he still stayed low-key for Jungkook because he didn’t like it when there was conflict between friends.

Jin had also seen Namjoon and Taehyung together in school recently. He would also see them in train every time when they went home but he would just observe from the other cart. He could not face Taehyung after that hurtful rejection but he still liked him.

Taehyung looked so happy with him and Jin could not help but envy Namjoon.

‘What are you trying to do, Namjoon?’, Jin thought to himself as he looked at the two. He definitely knew something.

Taehyung was on his way to his college. He was actually very late for his class and was sweating so much when he accidentally met Hoseok in the middle of the road. He was with a girl and she was very pretty. He had to stop and Hoseok greeted him.

“Hey, Taehyung”, He smiled at him. It had been awkward for the two ever since that conversation and they hadn’t talked even when they met in class. Taehyung felt bad because he really felt comfortable with Hoseok because he had that nice and bright air around him. He had thought they could become good friends.

“Hi, Hoseok.”, he gave him a nervous smile. The two smiled back and Taehyung was wondering who the girl was. Hoseok noticed.

“Oh, Taehyung, this is Mina. Mina, this is Taehyung. We have the same language class.”

“Hi Taehyung, nice to meet you. I am Hoseok’s girlfriend.”, she smiled brightly. Taehyung smiled softly hearing that.

He was glad that Hoseok had moved and the two looked really happy with their arms together.

“Ahh—I am actually late for my class so I better get going.”, He excused himself. He did not want to waste their time. The two nodded.

“See you in class, Taehyung!”, Hoseok shouted and Taehyung showed him a thumbs up while running.

~~~~

“Namjoon, come to the BTS bar. Yoongi and I are both here.”, Jungkook said on the phone. “We haven’t gone drinking and haven’t seen you in a while. Make time for your friends too man.”

“Alright, alright. I will be there.”, Namjoon said getting up from the couch. Before he left, he texted Taehyung and told him he was going out with Jungkook and Yoongi.

He arrived there within an hour and the two friends were happy to see him after a long time.

“So, we have to make appointments to see you now?”, Jungkook teased the older man.

Namjoon just laughed. Yoongi was rather quite.

“What’s up with you?”, Namjoon asked him.

Yoongi ignored him.

“Forget about him. So what’s up with you? How are things with Taehyung?”, Jungkook asked.

“Did you tell him about the girl?”, Yoongi finally joined. Namjoon just shook his head. Yoongi was not pleased.

“When are you going to tell him? It’s been weeks now and if I see him cry because of you, I will kill you.”

Namjoon twitched his face. “Seriously, Yoongi. What is your problem? Taehyung is mine ok. I will do whatever I want.”

Yoongi bit his lips. He really wanted to punch the man. “What about the girl then?”

“That’s none of your business too”, Namjoon took a shot.

Jin and his band BANGTAN were there at the same bar to perform. Jungkook was the only one from the three who knew about Jin. As the band made their way up the stage, Jin immediately noticed Namjoon. He looked around to see if Taehyung was also around but he could not see him.

Their performance was a hit and when Jin got to the back stage, he quickly texted Taehyung. Jin had gotten Taehyung’s number from one of his classmate when he had gone to look for him in their college but he had never gotten the opportunity to call the man because right after he had gotten the number, he was painfully rejected.

This time, he texted him.

Taehyung,

This is Namjoon. I am using a friend’s phone. Come to BTS bar ASAP.

Worried because of the text, Taehyung quickly wore a sweater and stormed off the house. He was very scared because Namjoon had told him to come asap. He thought maybe the guy was in trouble or something bad had happened to him. When he got near the bar, the people he saw outside were mostly everyone he knew. They were walking a little further away from the bar and Taehyung followed them quietly. He noticed that Jin was dragging Namjoon and could hear them arguing. Yoongi and Jungkook followed the two in confusion. A little further, the street became empty and it was only them.

Jin turned around and when he was about to say something, he noticed Taehyung.

“Ahh, Taehyung, you are here!”. The three man turned around in shock.

“Why—why are you here, Taehyung?”, Namjoon asked, Taehyung noticed the same expression he had not seen in the past few weeks.

“You texted me to come here as soon as possible, so I came. What’s happening?”, Somehow, Taehyung felt like this night wasn’t going to end well.

“I did not text you Tae—“

“I did.”, Jin smiled brightly. “I was the one who texted you Taehyung.”

“Why?”, Taehyung asked slowly. Somehow, he did not like the way Jin was smiling.

“Cause Namjoon has something to tell you.”

Taehyung gulped.

“It’s about a girl named Jennie.”

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL <3

Chapter Text

Jennie was a very popular girl in the college of music and she had liked Namjoon since the first day they met. She was also majoring in the same field as Namjoon and the two spent a lot of time together, especially last and this semester. She was fun to be around and Namjoon really enjoyed his time with her. She was very popular because she had the face, body and voice of an angel and most of the guys in their department were in love with her but she only had eyes for Namjoon.

Namjoon did not feel anything for her as he considered her as one of his good friends but after that faithful night, where Jennie had invited him out on her birthday dinner, things had heated and after that Namjoon could not go back to how he was. It was 3 months ago and he had been thinking of her every day. He assured himself that he still loved Taehyung but it did not bring him the same excitement he got when he was with her. That’s was why, Namjoon had been coming home late, doing projects at her place, and this was one of the reasons why he did not want anyone to know about him and Taehyung. The two would always go to her place and spend their time together and sometimes, they would skip classes together just to stay and do their stuffs. Since Namjoon himself was quite popular in his own college, if words came out, everyone including Jennie would know and that was something he did not want. Namjoon was able to spend time with Taehyung in the past weeks because Jennie had gone to her parent’s place. 

~~~~

“It’s about a girl named Jennie.”, Jin enjoyed the reaction on Namjoon’s face when he heard the girl’s name.

“How—how do you know about her?”, Namjoon asked Jin in confusion.

He replied with a smile. “We go wayyy back.” He emphasized.

Jin and Jennie were friends because they were both singers. The two had met during a performance and had become very good friends. He had seen Namjoon with her so many times but never got the time to get to know each other.

“What about her?”, Taehyung asked quickly. Yoongi and Jungkook knew this was the end.

“Well, if I tell you, you might not believe me, so I will let Namjoon do the talking.”, Jin said moving closer to Taehyung. He placed his hand on Taehyung’s shoulder but he immediately slapped it away. He, somehow did not like Jin right now.

Taehyung moved closer to Namjoon who was looking at the ground, unable to say anything.

“What is it Namjoon? Why can’t you tell me?”

Namjoon was very scared. He did not know how to face Taehyung. He fell on his knees and covered his face with his hands.

“I am sorry, Taehyung. I really am. I should have told you sooner!”,

Taehyung knew what was happening. He knew it as soon as Jin had mentioned the girl that there was something going on between the two.

He moved Namjoon’s hands away from his face and gazed at his eyes. It was full of guilt and he knew Namjoon was very sorry.

“Do you like her?”, Taehyung asked giving him a soft smile. He gulped as he waited for the older to answer. “Namjoon…Do you love her?”, Taehyung’s voice was breaking.

Namjoon bit his lips and nodded his head. “I am sorry, Taehyung.”

Taehyung sighed holding back his tears. He hugged the man and Namjoon hugged back.

The time had finally come to let him go.

“So, this is the end for us huh?”, Taehyung said.

He looked at Namjoon whose eyes were filled with tears. He had to stay strong for Namjoon, so he did not shed a single tear.

Namjoon gulped as he pulled Taehyung closer for one last hug.

“Sh—shh—she is pregnant with my child.”

The three men beside them were in total shock as Namjoon finally revealed the truth. Taehyung froze and the urge to hold back his tears finally went away when he heard that. Namjoon felt his clothes getting wet. Tears were streaming down Taehyungs face as he tried to stop them. He hugged the older man tightly and after a few seconds, Namjoon felt a small peck on his cheek and Taehyung whispered something in his ears before he left the scene.

Congratulations, I am happy for you two.

A/N - The next chapter is the last one :O :)

When Namjoon got home that night, Taehyung had already left the place with all his belongings. Namjoon had immediately called Taehyung but his phone was switched off. Yoongi and Jungkook were there with him. They had come to reached their friend and the two were sitting on the couch, waiting for Namjoon to fall asleep because he had it rough tonight.

“You shouldn’t have stopped me!”, Yoongi yelled at Jungkook. He had also been calling Taehyung.

“It was the best thing we could have done for him. He needed space.”, Jungkook told the older man. Yoongi had went after Taehyung but Jungkook had not let him.

Yoongi tried calling again but it always said switched off.

“Where are you, Taehyung?”, Yoongi said, worried.

‘I hope you are safe’, Jungkook prayed.

~~~~

It had been more than 2 weeks now and nobody had seen or heard about Taehyung. The men would always go to his college and check if he was coming or not but the students there told them that they have never seen him either.

Yoongi called Taehyung’s number everyday but it always said switched off. He had decided to send him text messages so that when he turns his phone on, he would be able to read it.

Taehyung had left for his sister’s place after that night. His sister was working in town and was living alone and she had a spare room. When she had opened the door for Taehyung, she was reminded of the time when her little brother had lost his dog. He was crying so hard and his sister immediately hugged him.

“Taetae, what is it?”, She gently patted the boy on his back. “There, there. It’s ok.”

Taehyung cried out. For someone who did not show much emotions, all the feelings he had been locking down now came out bursting and it was never stopping. His sister was very worried and even after 2 hrs of consoling, his tears were still not stopping.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Taehyung finally stopped crying and had fallen asleep on his sister’s lap. She knew that he was hurt deep inside.

~~~~

“KIM TAEHYUNG! Wake up, you lazy pig!”, his sister shouted at him. “It has already been 2 weeks now and you still don’t want to go back to university?!”

“I want to stay here with you.”, he said waking up. “And you were the one who always nagged me to come here.”

“I did tell you to come here love but I thought you would only stay here for like a day or 2. Not this long!”

Taehyung sighed. “But I am your brother. You have to let me stay here.”

“Listen kid, if you don’t get your ass back to school, I will call mom and dad and tell them you are skipping classes!”.

“Fine, fine! You win!”, The two were arguing like when they were younger. “But can I stay here with you? Uni isn’t that far from here.”

“Unless you promise you will start going back.”, she said.

“I promise!”, Taehyung flopped back in his bed. His sister sighed and gave him a soft peck on his forehead.

“Make dinner for me”, she closed the door and went to work.

Taehyung sighed again looking out from the window. He hasn’t gone outside at all. He looked at his phone that he had switched off ever since that night. He turned it on and within minutes, so many messages came in flooding.

There were some from Namjoon. It mostly said that he was missing him and that he wanted to meet him. There was also one where he had written that he been going to the hospital with Jennie and the baby was doing fine.

Taehyung smiled when he read that message. He knew from the text itself that Namjoon was happy and he also felt happy for him.

Just as he was about to check Yoongi’s messages that filled the whole screen, he got another text from him.

Taehyung,

I am not sure when you will turn on your phone but I hope you do it soon.

The Universities Basketball season is starting soon and I hope you come to see one of my matches. I haven’t been able to concentrate that much for the past weeks because I have been worrying about you so much. So, if you ever read this, please just come and watch one of my matches.

I still love you so much! I am sorry for always scaring you. It’s just how I am.

I miss you!

Taehyung blushed and a smile formed on his face as he read that. He did not reply to the text. He went back to the message screen and started reading every messages Yoongi had sent him from that night. It was like he was reading a book.

At first Yoongi was asking him where he was and how he was doing, after a while, it came to him writing stuffs about what was happening in his life and now it was mostly about basketball but at the end of every messages, he always wrote that he missed him and he loved him.

Taehyung went through his contacts and called someone.

“Taehyung!”, He yelled from the other side of the phone.

“Hi”, Taehyung smiled as he talked to him.

“How have you been, Taehyung? I miss you!”

“I am good. How are you and how is Jennie?”, Taehyung didn’t feel any pain talking to Namjoon. He had accepted it and he knew that if Namjoon was happy, he was too.

“We are good.”, there was a long silence. “Jennie wants to meet you, Taehyung. I told her about you and she is very excited.”

Taehyung widened his eyes, “Whatt?!! Why would you do that!”

“Cause that was the only thing I could have done!”

Taehyung sighed again.

“When can we see you?”, Namjoon asked.

“I am not sure yet. But I will let you know. Please give my love to her and the baby.”

He heard Namjoon laughing a little. “Hmm.”, he nodded.

“Bye Namjoon, see you soon.”

“I miss you Taehyung.”

“I miss you too Namjoon.”, he hung up.

After he had called Namjoon, he felt a little energetic so he woke up and went to shower. He spent the whole day watching tv and listening to music.

In the evening, he was feeling so tired. He hasn’t done anything but cook for his sister but he still felt very tired, he needed to rest. When he went inside his blanket again, his phone rang.

It was Yoongi and Taehyung wasn’t sure whether to answer it or not but in the end, he did anyway.

“……”, Taehyung did not say anything.

“Taehyung?”, it was very soft. He had never heard Yoongi’s voice that soft.

“Hmmm.”, He just wanted to keep hearing that voice.

He heard Yoongi sighing in relief. “How are you?”

“I am good. How are you?”, he asked him.

“Not good.” He said and Taehyung worried a little. “I miss you lot!”

Taehyung smiled at his reply. He found him very cute.

“Did you get my text?”, Yoongi asked.

“I did.”, there was a long pause. “Thank you. I enjoyed reading them.”

“Ah I am glad! So umm….any plans on coming back?”, Yoongi wanted to see the man so badly!

“Soon.”

“Ah alright. I will wait for you.”

Taehyung only nodded.

There was a long silence again as the two listened to their breaths through the phone.

“Well, take care of yourself Taehyung, I will hang up now.”

Taehyung was quite surprised that it was Yoongi who was hanging up.

“Oh ok. Take care of yourself Yoongi.”, Taehyung said.

“I miss you”, He sighed. “I love you, Taehyung”

“Thank you, Yoongi”, was all he could reply with.

~~~

It was after 3 days of nagging(again) from his sister that he had decided to go back to the university. But he did not go there directly. He had first called Namjoon and had met him and his girlfriend. The two looked happy together and they said that their child will be named after Taehyung.

As much as he was honoured, he knew that they were just joking and trying to make him feel good. Taehyung did not feel the pain of seeing them like that. Namjoon always told him how sorry he was but Taehyung warned him that if he ever said that again, he would not come and visit them anymore. He let Namjoon know that he was fine and doing well.

After he had met them, he went to the university, he had directly gone to the Music college and he was glad to see Jin there.

Jin ran to him as soon as he saw Taehyung and hugged him.

“Where have you been?!”, he yelled. He was also worried sick about him.

Taehyung smiled at him. “I was with my sister. Don’t look like that! I am doing fine!”, He assured Jin too.

Jin looked at him with guilt in his eyes, “I’m very sorry Taehyung. It was all my fault.”

Taehyung only shook his head. “Jin, thank you, if it weren’t for you, I don’t know how long Namjoon would have hidden that. He is happy now and I cannot be happier to see him like that, so thank you!”, Taehyung moved in to give Jin an awkward hug. He hugged back.

“So, you are still available right?”, Jin teased him. “Wanna go out with me?”

Taehyung laughed, “Jin, I hope you meet a person who is as wonderful as you are.”

Jin sighed. “Why can’t it be you?”, he asked and Taehyung just shrugged.

“Maybe, we are just not meant to be.”

“We can still be friends though right?”

Taehyung nodded, “That…we can.”

~~~~

Taehyung was on his way back from Jin’s college when he got a text from Namjoon.

Yoongi’s match is at 5pm at the grand court.

He really wants you to be there, Taehyung.

You know how much he likes you.

Taehyung was surprised to receive that message from Namjoon. ‘How did he know?’ was all Taehyung could think right now. He had completely forgotten about Yoongi’s match. He checked the time and saw that there was only about an hour for the match to start. He quickly ran to the train station and headed there. He got there at 4:45 and he saw a familiar face among the crowd.

“Jungkook!”, Taehyung called out.

He turned to look at the direction of the voice and when he saw him, a wide smile spread on his face.

“Hey, good to see you again, Taehyung.”, Jungkook said coming closer to him. “how have you been?”

“I am good, how are you?”

“Good. Good.”, he handed Taehyung a paper.

“What is this?”

“It’s a ticket. I am guessing you don’t have one.”, Jungkook said, placing the paper in his hand.

“What about you?” Taehyung asked. “I can buy—“

Jungkook took out another one from his pocket, smiling brightly.

“Yoongi is going to be so happy.”

Taehyung just blushed and the two went inside.

Taehyungs eyes searched for Yoongi as soon as he got in the court. He saw the man he had been looking for and he was somewhat near the bleacher. He quickly pulled Jungkook and went to sit there. Jungkook got the seats but Taehyung quickly ran towards the railing in front of him.

“Yoongi!”, Taehyung shouted. The man looked at the bleachers in surprise. He was seeing Taehyung after 2 weeks.

His eyes soften as he saw that Taehyung was still as healthy as he was and looking good. He had been worried for nothing.

“Yoongi! I want to ask for the 50 points deal again!”, Taehyung could feel the stares but he ignored it.

Yoongi just smiled and he slowly walked near the place Taehyung and Jungkook was at. Yoongi looked up at the direction of Taehyung placing his hands on his waist. 

“You promise you won’t break it this time?”, He asked, his face was filled with happiness seeing the man. Taehyung nodded. He was sure this time.

“ahhh!”, Yoongi turned around and scratched his head. He turned back a little to look at Taehyung.

“Since you have given me an awfully impossible deal, I will have to do my best to make it possible.”, It was exactly the same thing Yoongi said the first time they had made the deal.

(in chapter 5 J)

Taehyung smiled as he heard that. He knew it wasn’t impossible for him.

Yoongi went back to stretching his body again, he was just so happy to see Taehyung after a long time.

The teams walked to the center of the court and Yoongi still could not leave his gaze from Taehyung. Yoongi also saw the man looking at him and he suddenly winked, making Taehyung blush red. Yoongi just laughed out and the referee had to ask him if he was ok and in about few minutes after that, the game had begun.

With each shot that Yoongi kept scoring, Taehyung’s heart beat more and more. He placed his hand on his poor heart to calm it and Jungkook just watched the older man looking at Yoongi’s every move. His eyes never left Yoongi.  

Taehyung felt Jungkook staring at him and he turned around to look at the younger man.

“Thank you, Jungkook, for always being there for Namjoon and Yoongi.”

Taehyung gave him a soft smile and went back to watch the other man again.

Jungkook also smiled. ‘I hope you also find happiness just like Namjoon has.’

The game finally came to an end with Yoongi winning the deal just like when he and Taehyung had first made.

It was just the beginning of something beautiful.
