It all started like this: Taehyung would wake up in the early hours of dawn and set out for his daily walk around campus. He isn't a morning person by any means but he is a dog person and the only reason he wakes up early is to pet all the dogs out for their morning run.

Hoseok - his roommate who is the literal form of sunshine but only after he's had his morning coffee - would stare at him with bloodshot eyes and silently wonder where his energy comes from because 1) they're college students, 2) they're sleep deprived college students and 3) no normal person would wake up everyday at five am just to pet little balls of heaven. (Six am is reasonable but five is just torture.)

Despite that, they've become good friends with one another. That was after their disastrous first meeting where Hoseok came back to the dorm to find red dripping from the ceiling down to the floor with Taehyung lying down in what seems to be an exorcist circle, his body convulsing in a shaking fit with his eyes rolled back to his head and his mouth blood red. Candles were surrounded all around his immobile body. Somewhere from the room, ominous chanting was heard. Needless to say, Hoseok freaked the fuck out.

The high pitched scream caused Taehyung to wake up and he snapped up to consciousness. That led to another round of screaming courtesy of Hoseok and a solid jab straight to Taehyung's face which knocked him out like a light. 

After a few minutes of rushed first aid, they finally got around to introductions with one another. Hoseok took everything in stride, albeit a bit hesitantly. (Apparently all drama students were like this. Hoseok just managed to be roomed with someone who got high on Kool-aid and reenacts exorcism scenes.) As a way of apology for punching him in the face, he gives a run down of the dorm to the younger male.

( "I'm not a freshman though," Taehyung would insist. "So you won't have to worry about me that much."

"Yeah right," Hoseok snorts. "I saw you trying to open 321 yesterday. We live in 213, how could you get that wrong? It was in a different hall!"

"All of the rooms look the same!" Taehyung waves his hand up in the air, smacking one of the passerby in the arm. Hoseok mumbles a slight apology before turning back to the younger male.

"Our door still has those Kool-aid stains from that time as well as those glow in the dark stars you put up last time," he sighs. "I wonder how Yoongi manages you."

Taehyung looks at him very seriously in the eye, "He doesn't." )

With Hoseok's impromptu tour, Taehyung managed to gather information about every dog owner on site as well as prime dog watching locations. With his two weeks of residency in his new unit, Taehyung can confidently say that he's memorized the faces and names of his hall mates as well as the curtains they use for their rooms. (He likes curtains and everyone invited him in for some reason so why not sate his curiosity?) From Chanyeol hyung's Star Wars curtains to Jin hyung's Super Mario ones. The fifth window with plain white curtains however was a complete mystery as it's owner was yet to be seen.

Until today that is. As consequence of Hapi - the little shiba inu who belongs to that Wheein girl - spending the night with a veterinarian, Taehyung's walk ended a little earlier than expected. He's heading back to the dorms when he glances up to his floor. At that moment, he hears a choir of angels sing because hot damn, he must be looking at paradise.

The fifth window's curtains was drawn and some guy's torso filled out the vicinity. He appeared to be stretching with his body arching deliciously and his hands going lower and lower until they reach the hem of his shirt and - ohmygod. The shirt is removed and Taehyung's eyes is blessed with the smooth line of his chest and the morning sun glistening of his abs - his abs!!! - before he unceremoniously collides into the lamp pole right in front of him. 

His knee bangs against it with a loud clang! and Taehyung's attention is diverted to the searing pain his leg. He looks up once more to find the curtains being drawn closed at the speed of light. Taehyung curses the divine force for putting a freaking lamp pole in front of him. People don't even need it to see in the dark because that person's body is more golden and light giving than any lamp pole out there. 

Damn, Taehyung wasn't even able to see what his face looked like. It was probably so beautiful that people must mistake him for being a carbon copy of Adonis himself. Only a god can craft someone like that. Scratch that, only a god can be so handsome like that. Taehyung has officially found a new religion and he is now the most devout follower.

"Yoongi hyung!" Taehyung all but pounces on the pale skinned man, hands landing on his shoulders and eyes wide. "Your neighbour! The guy! He was holding a stripping show! Who is he?! I need names, birthdays, blood types, his number. Please."

"You're not making any sense right now," Yoongi sighs. "You just appeared out of nowhere and dragged me away against my will. I have a test in an hour and I want to sleep for a bit until it happens."

Taehyung unleashes his puppy dog eyes and pleads. "Please hyung," he says, slipping into dialect. "There's a piece of goodness in the unit beside you. My soul died and was reincarnated because of his stripping. Please save me."

"Can you run this by me one more time? In coherent sentences please." Yoongi caves in. He runs a hand through his hair, "What did you say?"

"I said, who is that smoking hot piece of marshmallow that lives in the unit next to you? He's officially my new religion. Jesus, hallelujah." 

"Jungkook?" Yoongi looks at him like he's crazy. Jungkook, so that's his name. Time to start a fan club. Yoongi shakes his head and frowns at him, "Dude, he's like twelve. What do you mean-"

"-he has abs!-" Taehyung says once more, mostly to himself and to point out that fact to Yoongi. Yoongi grabs ahold of his sleeve to prevent the younger from getting away.

"-you saw him stripping? Kim Taehyung, don't you dare-" 

"-I'm going to lick them. Just you wait," Taehyung vows and runs off, leaving a disgruntled Yoongi to follow in his wake. 

"Goddamit."

"Jeon Jungkook," Yoongi says with reluctance as Taehyung dragged both him and Hoseok for a meeting, "is known as the Golden Youngster of the tycoon world. He's only a freshman in college and yet he's already hailed as a business prodigy. He's the kind of person who has a lot of passion and is seemingly amazing at whatever he tries his hand at. Aside from having a brain filled to the brim with knowledge about business, he's also part of the same dance team as Hoseok." 

"Does he have a dog?" Taehyung asked.

"I don't know," Hoseok answered. "But if it helps, I saw him pet one last time."

"Sold," Taehyung breathed out. "He likes dogs. That makes him perfect in my eyes."

Yoongi frowns at him, "You'd think a serial killer is a saint if he owns one. You don't know him personally yet, don't go falling in love."

"It's not just love if it's meant to be! He likes dogs, I like dogs. He has abs, I want to lick his abs. It's perfect!"

"Taehyung," the two deadpanned. 

Mornings were always an interesting affair in Taehyung's life. But it didn't seem like that today for the male. He admits that even if he rises to see god's greatest gift to man, attending a seven am class is worthy enough to be one of Hercules' twelve labors. 

The professor isn't even in yet but they're forced to wait with droopy eyes and the stench of coffee keeping them awake. Taehyung decides to spend his time inscribing his saving grace to the back of the notebook. His Communication in the 21st century book would love to have Jungkook's likeness in it's bound pages.

Taehyung has been investigating his future husband and was surprised (not really) to find that he has a Facebook and Twitter page dedicated to him. He doesn't even need to start a fan club because there's already one. He's a little disappointed that he's not the only one attracted to the male but it's not like he has a chance anyway so haha. Cue with Taehyung spending hours on saving pictures and reading recounts of his day. However was the admin, Taehyung wanted to commend the person for their fantastic photo taking. 

He even ended up retweeting a bunch of things and captioned them as "my future hubby lol" to which his followers on twitter lapped up. Heck, even Yoongi saw it.

Yoongi literally went over to his unit and scared the shit out of Hoseok because of it. He even got to witness Suga, which only happened when Yoongi was super pissed off and decided to do a freestyle rap to curb his anger. It was amazing, almost as amazing as the Cyphers. Almost being the notable word because those songs were masterpieces and-

"I've been trying to get your attention for the past five minutes, will you please get your head out of the clouds?"

"Guah," Taehyung looks up and a sound that vaguely resembles the mating call of whales tumble out of his lips. Speak of the devil and he shall appear. And god, Jeon Jungkook. If anger and annoyance isn't sexy on a face like his, nothing will. His eyebrow is arched and his eyes are piercing and he is currently glaring at him - wait.

"Yes?" he replies meekly to the look Jungkook is currently leveling him with. Jungkook is totally rocking the asshole aethetic right now. Taehyung can't help his imagination run wild. 

"You're in my spot," Jungkook says. Taehyung looks down at the seat and oh yeah it is a different seat. Where is his doodle of Mikasa at? He looks back up to see Jungkook staring at him, and he squirms in his seat. 

"Why can't you sit in that seat?" Taehyung gestures to the one beside him. Jungkook's eyes snap to his own before glancing away, his face turning red for some reason. Is it hot in here or is it just him?

Jungkook frowns. "Don't you know who I am?" And oh, oh. He's using that card. Taehyung is too lazy to move however and decides to play the Joker.

"No actually, should I?" Taehyung tries his hand at being coy. Judging by Jungkook's deepening frown, it doesn't seem successful. Oh well.

"Jeon Jungkook," he replies curtly. Seeing Taehyung's lifted eyebrow, he continues. "I've been taking this Communications class with you?"

"It's been two weeks."

"We studied on the same table in the library? You heard me reciting my notes and you were reenacting The Lion King?"

What? Really? That was news to him. "Doesn't ring a bell."

"In Hoseok hyung's dance team? I was there."

That Taehyung knew yet he never saw Jungkook during any of the practices. "No?"

"In the hallway next to that jjangmyeon poster."

Silence. "What?"

"Nevermind," Jungkook sighs, running a hand through his hair. The sight must've made Taehyung's brain short circuit or something because he's lost control over his brain to mouth filter.

"Wait, I know you!" Taehyung blurts out, "You're that guy who was stripping in his window." Yep, his dreams definitely knows that. And so do I, his dick whispers. It takes a few minutes for Taehyung to process what he said.

Ohmyjungkook. Taehyung curses to himself. Jungkook has gone impossibly still and his mouth is set into a firm line. His expression is so dark and grim and Taehyung watches in fascinated terror as Junkook smiles menacingly at him.

#ripkimtaehyung2017  At least he knows his friends will bury him after his death. What a story will this be. Death by futute husband. Taehyung isn't that scared at the thought since at least his last view will be one of Jeon Jungkook. How many people can say they've been killed by one of the most beautiful people on earth? Probably ten. Maybe. Taehyung isn't sure.

"I'll be leaving now," Jungkook turns away on his heel, his mouth pursed into a thin line. Taehyung has to bite back his toungue to avoid saying, 'Don't leave me! Because I'm beautifuuuuul~' or 'I'm sorry! You were just too hot, my brain died.' 

Taehyung is left staring at the spot Jungkook just vacated, tuning out his professor's arrival and lesson for the day. He could care less about networking and shit if his future husband hates him. Dammit, his life is now offically finished. Done. No more. He closes his book with his Jungkook masterpiece unfinished and sighs.

 Okay, it seems that mornings really were an interesting part in his life. And they also were out to ruin him. And his chances of getting laid. And getting married to the man of his dreams. Probably. Taehyung was 99.9% sure that since his morning walk was cut short (the doggies weren't there today since their owners were busy #sadlyf and he missed his daily dose of cuteness) and now the gods have decided to curse him with an untimely fate. Now he was struggling to stay awake in his Communications class which was empty for the past twenty minutes or so.

Did everyone else just decide to be late? Just because the professor's always late doesn't they come in waltzing at the very last minute. The nerve of some people, Taehyung scoffs to himself. Okay, he might be a bit grumpy but that was because Mr. Snuggles died last week and he was still not over it. At least Daehyun gave him a picture of the lil' guy but that wasn't the same as Mr. Snuggles' fluffy ears and tail.

It's already forty minutes past seven and it looks like the professor and all the other students aren't coming for some reason. So Taehyung shrugs and walks out the door. What if their prof comes to teach and ends up with an empty classroom? Taehyung's tempted to turn and head back inside to wait just to see the teacher's reaction but he holds back. "Psh, who cares if he looks utterly gobsmacked when there's no one inside? Not me, haha."

He fails. And that's how he ended up camping out in the hall, eating some gummy bears while waiting patiently for his target. It's only when Jungkook chances upon him in the hallway and asks,"What are you doing here?" does he realize something very important.

That something is somewhere along the lines of ohmyjungkook holy gods bless me now. thank jungkook this place is empty because what!!! jungkook!!! is!!! wearing!!! glasses!!! why does he look so cute in them and his hair is parted so i can see his forehead and even that is beautiful. someone call the police, jungkook must've broken into the Louvre and stolen one of their most precious artefacts because the person in front of him is masterpiece.

His staring must be quite obvious because Jungkook shifts and covers his face. Taehyung would complain but the motion exposed Jungkook's neck and hello, neck veins. "I'm here waiting for the prof."

"Why are you waiting for him? Class was cancelled, remember?" Jungkook glances at him. 

"What?" Taehyung couldn't really comprehend what Jungkook was saying. Because he didn't even listen to the professor last time! And that was mainly Jungkook's fault because ever since he found out that they shared the same class, Taehyung has resorted to gazing dreamily at him. He wouldn't know anything about class being cancelled when all he could remember the last time was how snug Jungkook looked in that sweater and blue was really a nice color on him since it highlighted his hair and damn his shoulders were amazing. Taehyung was so whipped.

Jungkook sighs, "You've been waiting here for more than an hour? Come on then." Taehyung wants to laugh because it sounds like Jungkook is inviting him somewhere.

Oh wait, he is looking at him pointedly and oh. He does want him to follow so Taehyung scrambles to his feet and finishes his gummy bears before joining Jungkook. He's texting someone on his phone and damn. The way the phone lights up his features is just A+++ model material. His brow is even scrunched up a bit and Taehyung can't help his heart from exploding from how cute he looks. 

"Are you free for the next hour?" Jungkook asks. And of course, Taehyung is free. Like super free, like he was on sale at a  dollar store and now he costs nothing at all. Unless it's a weekend, then Taehyung is an expensive bitch. Even Armani couldn't own this ass.

"Yep," Taehyung says, popping the "p" at his affirmation. "You wanna get coffee or something? I'm starving." Inside he is screaming because yaaaaassd he just asked him out for coffee!!! It's a good thing he's a Drama major else he'd look like a complete lunatic.

At his words, Jungkook looked surprised and his brow scrunched up even more. "No, I mean yes. If you want to that is, I'd be willing." Jungkook is flushing a bit and Taehyung can't believe that he was some kind of business hot shot. Except he is, and that makes it even better.

They head to one of the coffee shops on campus and Taehyung actually managed to hold a decent conversation without a) the world bursting into flames, b) catching on fire and c) setting Jungkook on fire. He is delighted to find out that Jungkook likes anime as well and they decide to convey their Bleach theories to one another. Jungkook seems to have lightened up around him and he laughed five times in his company (Yes, Taehyung counted it. His laugh is music to the ears). Taehyung is in literal heaven.

Until Jungkook hands him a familiar book saying, "You left this the last time in class." And Taehyung accepts it gracefully before noticing that it's his Communications book and fuck. His masterpiece is inside. Taehyung doesn't need his honey bunch, sugarplum, pumpy-umpy-umpkin, sweetie pie, cupcake, gumdrop, snoogums, boo gums, the apple of his eye to find out that he is highkey thirsting after a successful relationship with him.

Jungkook coughs lightly into his hand, "You have very nice strokes and the drawing is very flattering. Did you take any lessons?"

"Thank you. Um, no. I learned it because of my hyung," Taehyung says. "You're not offended or anything?"

"No," Jungkook waves his hand at him. "You must have a lot of time on your hands. Is my nose that big though?"

And that is where Taehyung dies. After assuring that "No! It's just the angle besides I'm not even good that much. I'm an actor. What do I even know about drawing? Haha." and Jungkook's "Oh, okay. Listen I have to leave now." "Yeah, okay!" They part ways and Taehyung watches Jungkook disappear before promptly collapsing on the ground.

To Yoongi bear:

To Yoongi bear:

Taehyung is sitting once more in the shop where he had his famous falling out with Jungkook. It's only been a few days and yet his heart wrenches with guilt. Taehyung has decided that Jungkook is officially out of his reach and will now pine after him from afar. He's resorted to listening to his favourite sad ballads and Disney songs when he's approached.

"Hi," an unfamiliar guy chirps. Taehyung trains his eyes on him instead of Meg and The Nine Muses singing their hearts out on his phone (because no chance, no way will Jungkook forgive him) and is pleased to recognise him somewhat. He plops onto the opposite seat and smiles widely, his eyes turning into crescents as well.

"Hello, I don't think we've ever met before," Taehyung returns the gesture. "So I don't think I know you."

"We haven't but I love making new friends!" Smiley chirps. "And you may not know me but I definitely know you. That makes us half strangers only."

Taehyung laughs at his humour before putting on a serious face and leaning over conspiringly. "Alright, let me cut to the chase: who are you and what are you offering?"

Smiley mimics his pose, "I'm the one running Jungkook's official Facebook and Twitter page. Park Jimin, professional babysitter. I can give you VIF privileges."

Oh so he's the one running Jungkook's pages. Taehyung shakes his head. This person is his hero and saviour. "Kim Taehyung, professional thirst machine," he says, nodding. "VIF? What's that?"

"Very Important Fan," Jimin explains."The privileges include morning selfies, shirtless photos and the chance to get to know jungkook better."

Now, Taehyung was no Business prodigy but he knows when a deal is too good to be true. "What's the catch?"

Jimin smiles but not those cute eye smiles he's been doing. This one's more mischievous and Taehyung feels a chill run down his spine. "I'll be asking you for a small favour," he says, tapping his fingers on the table. "But you can do it easily. So don't worry about it. What do you say?"

"Hmm...," Taehyung says, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. He pretends as if he's actually thinking on what to decide but as soon as Jimin said "the chance to get to know Jungkook better" he was already sold. Jimin laughs at his thinking face and he suspects that he knows. He doesn't care, his love for Jungkook can move mountains. "Okay, count me in."

They shook hands and traded numbers with one another. It was the start of a beautiful friendship.

From Jimbles:

Here's your first delivery.

[tall-dark-and-handsome.jpg]

To Jimbles:

omggg???

my heart can't handle this

From Jimbles:

He was actually looking for food here though.

That's his face when the pizza arrived.

To Jimbles:

damn

i wish i was pizza

"Don't look now but Jungkook is coming right in," Taehyung says to Hoseok and Yoongi. 

But of course, the two turn around and greet the newcomers. Hoseok waves and catches Jimin's attention. The smaller males drags Jungkook over to their table and plops down right next to Hoseok, leaving Jungkook to sit next to Taehyung. Those little fuckers, they probably planned this. Taehyung tries to glare but is met with a look from Yoongi and he aborts mission.

"Hey Jimin, you guys come here often?" Hoseok says, smiling.

"Yeah, me and Jungkookie here come at least once a week," Jimin says. "I didn't know you guys came here too. Why haven't we run into each other before?"

Taehyung is left staring at their interaction, "You guys know each other?"

"Yeah, we're in the same dance team, remember? Me, Jimin and Jungkook," Hoseok looked at him. "I showed you that dance practice, right? Jimin was the lead dancer there."

Yoongi snorts. "You've replayed that one at least fifteen times. I'm pretty sure you can remember the people in it."

Hoseok did show him that video. But Taehyung can only remember a certain brunette dancing with his arms showcased in his tank top and his fluid movements as well as that concentrated look on his face and that little flash of his tummy at 3:13 when he did the flip- "Oh yeah, I remember! Haha, my attention totally wasn't on one person. Yeah, sweet moves, Jimin," Taehyung grins.

"Aww, thanks TaeTae~" Jimin smiles and they do this weird thing where they stare and make heart signs at each other with their hands.

This time it's Jungkook's turn to be confused, "Wait, when did you two get so close?"

"Recently," Jimin says nonchalantly. "But enough about that. Kookie, why don't you order for us? You know mine right? Thanks!" Jungkook looks between them back and forth before shaking his head and standing up.

"Why'd you send him away?" Taehyung whispers.

"Because then he might find out about our deal," Jimin whispers back. 

"Oh yeah," Taehyung nods. They can't have that. "If he finds out, he might be afraid of me and think I'm a stalker or something. And then get mad. And then he'll hate me and turn into the dark side."

Jimin looks at him weirdly, "But he won't hate you?"

"Uhm, what do you mean? Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering," Taehyung explains. "I don't want Jungkook to suffer! He already hates me, which is like the biggest lie ever since I really like him. But if he finds out I'm high key thirsting after him, then he'll have another reason to hate me!! Why am I unlovable?"

At his words, everyone on the table groans in defeat. Through the corner of his eye, Taehyung can see Jungkook glance to them in surprise. He waves at him to say nothing's wrong.

Yoongi waves his spoon at him, "Taehyung ah, he doesn't hate you. And you're not unlovable, when will you get that through your head?"

"If you're still in  doubt we can prove it to you that he doesn't hate you," Hoseok says. "Just so you can stop saying that."

"Who hates Taehyung?" Jungkook asks, setting his order down on the table. He hands Jimin his own cup of coffee. "What are you guys talking about?"

"Nothing!" Taehyung says brightly, waving at the others to shut up.

"Uhm, okay," Jungkook sets a plate in front of Taehyung. "I got this for you, here."

It was a strawberry shortcake. Taehyung looks at him in confusion, making the younger scratch his head. "I remembered your order from last time. You like strawberries, right?" 

"Yeah, uhm. Thanks!" Taehyung is in paradise. He can't believe that Jungkook bought him cake. And that he remembered his order. How sweet is this man? This was so cute and awwww look at that little smile he has on his face. Taehyung can feel his heart bursting at the seams.

"So, Taehyung," Hoseok starts. Taehyung looks at him, slightly miffed at his reverie being interrupted. "You were kinda frantic last night. Who are you meeting up tomorrow? I overheard you talking on the phone."

"What?" Taehyung says, his mouth full of cake. "Who are you talking about?"

Yoongi sides up with Hoseok. "Ah, the person. You were talking to him, remember? It's a guy, right? What was his name again?"

"Which guy?" Taehyung was literally so confused. "Are you talking about Baekhyun hyung?" Yeah, he was on the phone with him but that was for their project.

Before he can explain, Jimin cuts him off with an excited squeal. "Baekhyun? As in Byun Baekhyun? Golden voice of the music department?"

"Well, he's a bit shy about that title," Taehyung says. "Hyung says that he still has a long way to go."

"Oh, Taehyung, you're so lucky! I heard he's very handsome," Jimin continues. "Is he nice?"

Taehyung smiles because yeah. "Yup! Hyung is like so nice to me. We play games all the time and he buys meat for me when we hang out." He steadies his voice. "But I'm not-"

He gets cut off when Jungkook spills his coffee over his hand. The cup is crushed in his fist and the hot liquid is pooling all over the table. "Jungkook!" Jimin gasps affronted as he pries away the scorching cup. Jungkook's hand is an angry pink and there's some smoke curling from it. "You're hand got burned!"

"Oh," Jungkook says, his voice detached as he stares at his injured hand with disinterest. 

Jimin sets to work on wrapping Jungkook's hands with napkins and Yoongi calls over a server to help them. Jungkook shoots him a look and mouths, "I'm fine at him." Taehyung is scared out of his pants. Beside him, Hoseok whispers, "Dude, that was so edgy." Taehyung can only nod in agreement.

Jimin and Jungkook leave after the latter receives basic first aid and promises not to sue the establishment because, "This was not due to faulty service or defective products but merely of my own accord so don't worry, i will not hold any charges." 

Yoongi nudges him with his shoulder, "Did you see that?"

"What? The love of my life getting burned?"

"No," Yoongi rolls his eyes. "Your proof."

 From Jimbles:

[im-just-like-coffee:hot.jpg]

To Jimbles:

One of the advantages about being a drama student was that there were only a few things that could faze him. He's been in a lot of weird situation and it's only his second year. The disadvantage however is that the drama seems to be following him. It makes him wonder if his life is a badly written fanfic by a teenager who has no life.

This is one of those times, Taehyung decides as he breaks up an argument between Jungkook and Baekhyun. "Why are you guys fighting? Stop it!"

Jungkook glares at Baekhyun, "I'm fighting for your honour! I just saw your date with another man, how could I let that happen? Your heart will break into tiny pieces and I can't live with myself if I could have prevented it from happening."

"Taehyung ah, I would appreciate it if your friend would stop jumping into conclusions," Baekhyun frowned.

Taehyung turns around to face the younger male, "Jungkook, Baekhyun hyung is dating Chanyeol hyung. You don't need to fight for my honour since it is not at stake. Now apologise to hyung!"

Jungkook looks embarrassed and guilty at his mistake, "I'm sorry, hyung. I won't do it again." Baekhyun and Taehyung coo at him.

"It's alright, I'm not actually angry," Baekhyun laughs. "You were cute trying to protect TaeTae and all that. Just get your facts straight first okay?"

"Yeah," Taehyung pinches his cheek. "Hoseok and the others were just pulling your leg that time. Baekhyun hyung is like one of my mother figures here in school." He laughs. "It's a good thing hyung texted me about what you were doing. I dashed here as fast as I could. I wish I just told you sooner."

"Well," Jungkook thrusts his phone into Taehyung's face. "Here. Put your number. So you can text me to avoid any future misunderstandings." Taehyung wants to scream because Jungkook is so adorable at this moment. So he does. Internally.

"Uhm, okay!" he says, eloquently. Taehyung gives his own phone so they can trade and his soul is slowly leaving his body. As Jungkook leaves, Baekhyun sidles his arm around Taehyung and winks at him.

"So he's the one you've been pining after huh?" Baekhyun grins. "He's a looker even though he has a temper. But at least his intentions were good."

"Hyung, he's amazing," Taehyung sighs. "But he doesn't feel the same way as I do."

Baekhyun merely laughs at him. "Oh Taehyung ah, you'll be surprised at what you don't know."

Here's an extra from today's update

[i-may-look-tough-but-im-actually-a-cutie.jpg]

To Jimbles:

im crying rn

he's so adorable

and beautiful

Taehyung loves questions like "If you were stuck in a deserted island, who would you choose to be stranded with?" because it lets him fantasize about the possible things that could happen and be prepared for the circumstance in which it might it happen. You never know right? One day, you might be going to your first job ever when you get stranded on a deserted island with a bunch of superstar strangers and form deep psychological scars.

However, he wishes that the questions would have prepared him for his date meeting with Jungkook. ("Hyuuuunng, it's not a date. It's just a simple 'gathering of friends'. I told you he doesn't like me that way." "Shut your mouth, Kim Taehyung and get going already!") 

No amount of dystopian novels would prepare him and his heart from the sight of Jeon Jungkook drenched from rain water. Taehyung thanks the gods up above for the fact that Jungkook wore his signature white t-shirt. He can practically feel the blood dripping from his nose at the sight.

"Hyung! You need tissues, here," Jungkook says worriedly. "You have a nosebleed!" Huh, a nose bleed? Yeah, that happens sometimes when he sees something he likes. 

Wait. His nose is bleeding. "Oh shit," Taehyung yelps, wiping the blood before it gets any worse. Jungkook is staring at him with such a worried expression, Taehyung wants to keel over. Partly from embarrassment because way to go Taehyung, you're bleeding in front of your crush. And partly because awwww he's worried about me! I can die happy now. 

"Are you okay? What happened?"

"Ah, it's nothing! Don't worry about it," Taehyung grimaces. "I'm going to the washroom. Why don't you order some food and get some music going on? We're in a noraebang after all."

 Jungkook nods his consent and Taehyung heads out, still feeling some of the blood crusting on his upper lip. As he rubs at his face, he recalls the events that happened prior to this moment. They were supposed to have a picnic at the dog park Taehyung frequents to. But on their way there, it started raining and they were both caught in the downpour. They sought refuge in the nearest shop and that's how they ended up here in the noraebang. At least the owner let them in, dripping wet and all. But he suspects it's because of the wad of cash Jungkook slipped him the moment they entered.

Taehyung returns to their room and finds that their food has been delivered. He immediately dives in to the pizza and pigs out. He leaves his shoes outside and wiggles his feet as he munches happily. "Nice socks, hyung," Jungkook says, gesturing to Taehyung's feet.

"Thanks!" Taehyung gushes. "I had a hard time choosing between Snorlax and Munchlax but I decided to buy both because I love socks."

Jungkook turns a bit red, "Well, that's kinda... cute. I guess. The socks! They're nice."

"I got them as a gift from Yoongi hyung," Taehyung explains, wiggling his toes. "I get a lot of socks from Yoongi hyung actually. It's just so comfortable, y'know?"

"That's understandable," Jungkook nods. "I own an Iron Man pair. I got them at a Marvel con when I did a presentation in the hall next to it."

Jungkook likes Iron Man and Marvel. Taehyung smiles at the thought. Okay, that was cute. He can already picture the smug look when Jungkook wears them, the feeling where you're the only one who knows what kind of socks you're wearing is one Taehyung can relate with. He absolutely loves it when he wears glow in the dark socks and no one is the wiser because they're hidden in his shoes. Taehyung will fight you if you say that no one will even know what it looks like unless you remove it because it's his feet and he can wear whatever he wants on it.

They finish the food pretty quickly and Taehyung is jumpy because he drank too much soda. He grabs the mic set and opens the song book, flipping through the pages. "So, Jungkook. What song do you wanna sing?"

"Sing?" Jungkook says, eyes wide. "I don't really sing." Which is ridiculous because if he doesn't sing in a singing establishment, what else is he supposed to do?

"What?" Taehyung gasps. "Anyone with such an extensive music taste as yours has got to! This is just plain sacrilege." He selects one of his all time karaoke faves and pulls Jungkook up with him. "I'm not letting you waste your life any longer."

He hands Jungkook a mic as the familiar tone of I got a boy  plays from the speakers, "Girl's Generation is my favourite group." Jungkook smiles a little as Taehyung dances and joins along in the chorus. As soon as Jungkook opens his mouth and sings along with Taeyeon's amazing vocals, Taehyung can feel an eargasm coming because Jeon Jungkook can fucking sing like an angel oh my god.

As soon as the song ends, Taehyung grabs Jungkook by the shoulders and shakes him crazy. "You. Said. You. Don't. Really. Sing! What was that? You sound amazing, oh my god."

"Hyung, stop shaking me please," Jungkook requests. But it falls on deaf ears.

"Why would you hide something like that? Were you born with glass bones and paper skin? Do you break your legs every morning and your arms every afternoon? Do you lie awake at night in agony until your heart attacks put you to sleep?"

"What?" Jungkook asks, clearly confused. "I don't understand what you're saying."

"Me neither," Taehyung admits but that doesn't faze him. "Never mind that, just. What. I still don't comprehend the singing part."

"Well, the people all around me say I'm only good at business so growing up, I grew less confident," Jungkook says. "It was a big decision for me to even minor in Dance and join the team. Singing was an entire different realm for me and I never got around to pursue it."

Taehyung pats his shoulder, "Well, I'm here to give you an ego boost because you have an amazing voice. You could even be part of a korean boy band!"

"Maybe in my next life then," Jungkook jokes. "I'll try auditioning and sign into a label or something." Jungkook as an idol singer. Taehyung salivates a little at the thought.

"I'd totally buy all your albums," Taehyung joins in. "I'll attend all your fan meetings and be your number one fan."

Jungkook shakes his head. "You should just join in the band with me."

"Oh, please," Taehyung laughs. "You're just saying that out of politeness."

"No, I'm saying it because I want to be close to you in my next life as well." Hot damn, that was a smooth thing to say. He swoons internally at his words.

Taehyung pinches his cheek, "Ah, you're so cute. It's not good to lie though, Jungkookie. Now c'mon, choose another song! What do say to Fantastic Baby?" Jungkook only sighs.

"Hey, hyung," Taehyung rolls over to face the older male working on his computer. Yoongi gives a grunt to show that he's listening so Taehyung continues. "Okay, hypothetically, what does it mean if a guy compliments your socks?"

The sound of keys typing halts before resuming. "Your socks?"

"Yeah," Taehyung says, swinging his legs in the air. "He compliments the socks. Oh and what if he sings a song for you as well? But he doesn't really sing because he said he's not confident."

"Uh, why wouldn't Jungkook be confident about that?"

"Hyung! This is hypothetically, okay?" Taehyung clutches the pillow closer to his chest. Yoongi makes a strangled noise but nods his understanding. "And he wouldn't be confident because he doesn't show it that much. So if he shows someone that and compliments their socks, what does that mean?"

"It means that he likes that person."

"But what if he gets red in the face and mumbles some kind of excuse after?"

"Then, he's a tsundere," Yoongi shrugs. "And he really likes that person."

But he doesn't??? Why can't you understand that? Hyung! Taehyung bites his cheek. He wants to scream out loud, internally won't be enough. But Yoongi wouldn't appreciate the loud noise and he's too lazy to go outside. He decides to change the subject, "Hey, hyung. You're close with Jimin too, right? I heard he's been banging someone. Can you tell me who it is?"

"No," Yoongi says, firmly closing his laptop.

Taehyung sits up and whines, grabbing at the elder. "Aww, why won't you tell me?" 

"Why don't we visit the dog cafe downtown? I heard they got a new pomeranian as well as a trio of huskies."

At his words, Taehyung quickly scrambles to his feet and ends up falling on the floor. "Yup! Let's go, hyung." All thoughts about hypothetical boys and Jimin's secret all thrown out of the recesses of his mind. Nothing can beat sugar and dogs and whoever invented dog cafes and cake was a genius.

Taehyung is standing outside Jungkook's room, his hand poised as if to knock on the door. He hesitates because the sounds of muffled voices arguing inside serves as an indicator not to interrupt. But it's an emergency and Taehyung really needs to talk to Jungkook. He's holding a flash drive which Jungkook forgot during their last study session and the contents seem to be some kind of business product. Taehyung knew better to give it soon rather than later.

He debates on leaving it in front of the door for Jungkook to find or for knocking and getting it over when the door suddenly opens. Taehyung brightens, expecting to see Jungkook but is met with a disheveled person and- oh wow. Those are some impressive hickeys on his neck and I wonder who did that. But the guy is crying and even though he's a stranger, Taehyung reaches out to comfort him.

"Are you okay?" Taehyung asks, but his only response is a small grimace. 

Stranger guy mutters an apology before pushing past Taehyung and the brunette can only let his hand fall. The guy trips a little but he is fast and soon he's out of sight. Taehyung knows the walk of shame after sex and that's what it exactly looks like. Jungkook stumbles into the doorway and Taehyung is about to ask what happened when he notices Jungkook's state of nudity.

Aww, Jungkook's abs! I missed you, Taehyung's dick coos. But his eyes flit over to the red stripes decorating his torso and the bruise that is blooming on Jungkook's collar bones and oh. Oh.

"Jungkook?" Taehyung gulps, his tongue thick and heavy inside his mouth.

Jungkook glances at him, as if noticing he was just here. "Hyung! Did you see anyone leave? I need to tell him something."

"Yeah, some guy just left but," Taehyung bites his tongue. "What happened to you guys? You have marks all over your skin. Rough night, huh?"

Jungkook's hands flit over to them and an unfamiliar expression is painted over his face. "It's not what you think," he starts. "Listen, after I fix things with Mingyu, I'll explain it all to you and-"

Mingyu? Who's that? He's never heard of a Mingyu in his entire life. Taehyung cuts him off. "No. It's okay. You don't have to explain. Just," he shoves the flash drive into Jungkook's hands. "Do what you need to do okay? I'll go now and you chase after him. See ya!" Taehyung bolts and heads down the stairs into the streets. He ignores Jungkook's cries and hopes he is fast enough to outrun the younger male. 

His feet carry him far from the dorms and he ends up in one of the parks that decorate the university. He's getting weird looks from the people around but he ignores them and wipes the tears of his face. Of course, Jungkook likes someone else. Don't listen to anyone besides what you see, Taehyung slaps his cheeks. Think about other things! You knew you never had a chance so why are you crying? He's always treated you like a friend.

I'm coming

"It's perfectly normal for people our age to engage in sexual activities. After all, he is an adult who experiences hormonal desires and is free to fornicate with anyone he pleases. I'm not affected at all, nope. Jung who? The only Jung I know is Jung Joon ha and he's funny as hell," Taehyung narrates. "I'm over it. Yep, I've crossed that bridge and burned it. I'm fine, I'm sooooo fine."

"You've said that three times already, Taehyung ah," Hoseok soothes. "Calm down for a bit yeah?"

"Calm? Oh, I'm super calm. Look at my resting bitch face," Taehyung pauses and stares at Hoseok. He continues, making sure to not break his expression, "See? This is an A+ example right here. Mhmm. Grumpy Cat better get ready cos I'm going to give him a run for his money."

Hoseok merely sighs. "Where did you even learn that?"

"From Yoongi hyung, of course. Gotta learn it from the best!" Hoseok sighs again. He's been doing that a lot lately.

Lately, being three days because that's how long it is since the "Great Revelation" as Taehyung had coined it. It's also been three days since he started avoiding he-who-shall-not-be-named and Taehyung has started having withdrawal symptoms. Maybe. If excessive crying and deleting all of his thirst photos is a symptom. It was so hard getting rid of them, Taehyung can still remember the agonising pain he had felt when he unfollowed his Twitter and Facebook page. 

Let it be known that Taehyung was a man of great determination. Holding up the sky would be an easier feat. Take that Atlas.

"Have you tried talking to him for closure?" Hoseok asked. He frowned when Taehyung shook his head, "Closure is important too, Tae. You can't run away forever from your problems forever. Pretty soon, it will catch up and bite your butt."

"Lucky for it, my ass is spectacular," Taehyung quips back. "And I can run away from my problems. Watch me Usain Bolt away from this shit."

He's about to perform a one man play about his new life as a professional runner when Hoseok stands and exclaims a loud, "Jimin! What brings you here?" Hoseok then turns Taehyung around and forces him to look at the shorter male."Are you here to talk to Taehyung? Because Taehyung is totally  free right now and he'd love to have a chat with you!"

Jimin smiles brightly and says, "How fortunate! I was just about to ask for his company. Well, if you will excuse me, I'm going to steal Taehyung for a bit." Jimin grabs him and drags him away before he can even say anything and they find themselves in a deserted hall. Jimin pushes him up against the wall and glares at him.

"Before you run away, I need to cash in that favour you owe me," he puts up a hand to silence Taehyung from speaking. "And before you protest, I'm talking about that favour I asked when I let you become a VIF member-"

"-ex-VIF member-"

"-and I want you to stop avoiding Jungkook since that idiot is absolutely wrecked right now because of you," Jimin continues. "If you stop ignoring his texts and actually read them, you'll see that everything is a big misunderstanding. Hasn't it crossed your mind that Jungkook has an explanation for all this? Why won't you take a moment to see what he has to say?"

"I'm scared, all right?" Taehyung bursts out. "Of course, it crossed my mind. He's running laps around it 24/7. But the only thing keeping me together is my pride and I just don't know what to do anymore."

He ruffles a frustrated hand through his hair, "All this just started because I saw him shirtless into the window. Sure, I joked about him being my future husband and stuff. But somewhere along the way my thirst developed into feelings and I just can't anymore. I'm so shit with my feelings, it's ironic since I've acted out love stories on stage. And if there's anything I've learned from those things is that there's a possibility of rejection and heartache."

"But there's also a chance of a happy ending," Jimin retorts. "Please just give him a chance. I'm sick and tired of you two running in circles around each other."

"I'm not sure if I can do it."

"I'll treat you to a dozen strawberry shortcakes."

"...The good ones?" Taehyung perks up.

Jimin nods, "The good ones."

"Deal." Taehyung loves cake. In front of him, Jimin sighs in relief and mumbles out a 'thank you' under his breath. He and Hoseok should really get whatever's bothering them resolved. They've been sighing like a crazy, it's driving him mad.

The silence between them is awkward. Taehyung has found out that most silences are awkward when the person you're with is someone you want to kiss and cuddle but run away from at the same time. Jungkook is quiet as well but Taehyung can practically hear the gears turning in his head at how hard he's thinking. They're standing in an empty hallway, or kinda empty since Taehyung can see Hoseok peeking out behind the corner and the camera Yoongi owns is trained upon them. He's certain Jimin is there as well. Some people have no sense of privacy at all. Maybe he should speak up so he can go and scold them as soon as he's done.

"I'm sorry for avoiding-"

"I'm not seeing any-"

They stop.

"You go first-"

"Hyung, why don't you-"

Another pause. Taehyung smiles and laughs a little, "Okay. Jungkook, tell your side of the story first. "

"Oh well, I'm not seeing any one. I was just helping a friend who was thrown out that time," Jungkook explains. "It kinda hurts that you would jump straight to conclusion like that. But I guess the situation must've looked very suspicious to you."

"No!" Taehyung says, a little too loudly. "I overreacted that time. If I actually took time to listen, we wouldn't be in this mess anymore. I'm sorry for acting this way, I hope you forgive me."

"It's okay. I'm glad that we can finally resolve this," Jungkook wrings his hands. "When you were avoiding me, I was so confused and I didn't know what to do. I didn't want you to misunderstand about anything.

Taehyung quirks his head to the side, "Why not?"

"Because it would be extremely inconvenient for me." Wow, inconvenient. He hasn't heard anyone use that and sound so sexy at the same time.

"Inconvenient?" Taehyung takes in the blush on Jungkook's cheek. Okay, why is he blushing? What is happening? What does he mean by-

Wait.

"You- Do you like me?" Taehyung gasps, his hand reaching up to cover his mouth. 

Jungkook frowns at him and nods, "Yes? For a long time already. I've been dropping hints about it but you never picked it up. Wasn't I obvious?"

Taehyung wants to scream because NO! It wasn't obvious and hints? What hints? The only thing that Taehyung picked up was the trash. And so he does scream. Externally. "What do you mean you liked me for a long time? When did that even happen?"

"Ever since I saw you actually," Jungkook responded.

"And when was that? When I called you a stripper during class?" Taehyung recalls their disastrous first meeting. 

Jungkook laughs. "No. You probably don't know this but it was during orientation. I was out for my morning jog when I saw you at the dog park. You were chasing after a dog that ran away from it's owner when you tripped and managed to land a cartwheel before successfully grabbing the leash." Oh that. Taehyung remembers it clearly. That was when he first met Mr. Snuggles and his pants ripped because of his little acrobatic stunt.

"Seriously?" he asks.

"Seriously," Jungkook returns, a somber expression on his face. Amazing. Maybe seriously will be their always. 

"I can't believe this," Taehyung laughs. "This wasn't so one-sided after all. Oh my god, all my thirsting wasn't pointless."

The smile is dropped from his face, "Oh my god, my thirsting! I deleted all my photos and argh. No! I even unfollowed your Twitter and Facebook page. Why did I do that? I'm so stupid." Taehyung whips his head towards Jungkook. "Wait, do you know you have those things?"

"Yes," Jungkook answers, his eyes twinkling with mirth. "Your comments are very... flattering. It showed me a whole new side of you."

That's it. Jungkook knew he was thirsting after him. Oh god, all of his shit posts. What has he done with his life? "Why didn't you tell me you knew?" Taehyung whispered, betrayed. "My whole life is ruined. Oh my god, did you read that nsfw one I made? Delete everything that you saw from your mind. Oh my god, I swear! I'm going to die from embarrassment. Tell Yoongi hyung he can have my Kumamon figurines, I don't think I can live any longer- mmpf!"

His spiel is cut off when a pair of lips meet his own. Taehyung's mind goes into hyperspace and he swears he can feel fireworks. Fuck, this is better than any of my wet dreams because Jeon Jungkook is kissing him right now and he's not under the influence of any substance. Taehyung wraps his arms around Jungkook's neck and he can feel the younger smile against his lips.

They ignore the sudden screams and cheering that erupted when they kissed, courtesy of the people who were currently filming their very own make out video. Taehyung could care less and can only whimper when Jungkook nips at his bottom lip and soothes the sting with his tongue. His fingers dance lightly around the hair at his nape before traveling downwards and resting at the small of Taehyung's back.

It lasts for like ten years (Yoongi says it's only like three minutes but who cares) before they finally part since they're humans and they need to breathe. Jungkook laughs before bending and burying his face in Taehyung's neck, "I've been dreaming of this for a long time." He snuggles into Taehyung and takes a deep, long breath. "I've been wondering what shampoo you use because you smell so good."

"When did you have time to smell my hair?"

Jimin pops in, "It was when you crashed at my place and used Jungkook as a pillow. I swear he was dying when you were snuggled up to him. He was as still as a rock." He turns around and faces Yoongi, "Oh yeah, pay up. I told you it would happen."

"You guys bet on us?" Taehyung asked, incredulously. All three of them nod. "Why?"

"Because we've been watching you two pine after one another for a long time," Hoseok deadpanned. "The both of you were so infuriating to watch."

Taehyung glances at Jungkook and pokes his chest. His very toned chest, his dick adds. "Did you know about this?"

"Kinda," Jungkook says and Taehyung pouts at his answer. He pulls the other male in for a hug and squeezes, "It's a long story though."

"I wanna hear it."

"Well, it all started because Jimin was an asshole..."
