After the strange encounter with Jungkook, Jimin went back to where the car was parked, Seokjin had already arrived and was waiting for him, Jackson was also there and Namjoon was still inside the vehicle, listening to his songs.
"Hey, Jimin!" Jackson almost shouted when he spotted the smaller man and ran towards him for a hug.
"Hi Jackson, looking good!" Jimin hugged him back.
"And you're even more charming than ever Jimin, I feel sorry Namjoon when he’s next to you." Jackson makes fun of his friend, earning him a dirty look.
"Haha, you are so funny.” Namjoon ironically mumbles from inside the car.
"So, where are you staying? Seokjin did invite you to stay with us, right?" Jackson asks Jimin, ignoring Namjoon poking at his ribs from the window.
"Yes, but I don’t want to bother anyone, besides, I’m already sharing a place with Taehyung." Jimin answers
"Ah, I see, so just you and Tae… hum…" Jackson grins wiggling his eyebrows, and now is Seokjin who’s poking him for being so blunt, Jimin just smiles in return.
"Anyway, you already got your books, we have to go now because Yoongi is waiting for us." Seokjin said opening car door and waving goodbye to his cousin.
"See you later." Jimin also gets in and blows Jackson a kiss, he smiles making the same gesture back while Namjoon acts like he’s disgusted on the passenger seat.

"And you have to sign here, here, here and here." Yoongi indicated the lines on the several papers the boys needed to sing. Before that, they had discussed about their last concert, their upcoming agenda and few other issues, pretty much the same annoying stuff as always.
"Oh my… I’m so bored." Namjoon drew attention to himself speaking and sighing loudly, browsing through some random magazine. Of course no one really paid attention to anything he said.
"Can I offer you something to drink, Namjoon?" But Yoongi did try to be cordial, at least pretend so.
"Do you have any alcohol?" Namjoon replied crossing his legs, face showing one of his presumptuous smiles.
"Seriously, it’s like ten in the morning." Yoongi rolled his eyes.
"He likes lemonade." Seokjin then said, but still looked focused on the unsigned papers.
"Thanks." Namjoon uncrossed his legs and went back to the magazines when Yoongi sighed and left the room for his beverage, sometimes he had to hold himself not to punch certain people in the face.
The rest of the meeting was about the same, papers and more papers to sign, and a flirtatious Namjoon always confusing Seokjin. The boys were told that they had nothing scheduled for the next few weeks, which was pretty rare, so they should “consider this as a vacation” according to Yoongi’s words.
When leaving the office, Jimin mobile started to ring, he excused himself to answer it, while the other three stood at the door talking to each other and waiting for him. Jimin identifies who is calling through the phone’s ID and puts on a big smile.
"Do you miss me already?" Jimin purrs.
"You have no idea, I woke up and you weren’t by my side." Taehyung pouts across the line, even though the other can’t see.
"I swear I’ve tried to wake you up." Jimin says and he can see Tae’s cute face on his mind.
"I’m sure you didn’t try everything..." Tae suggestive tone makes Jimin slightly blush.
"And what do you think I should have done?" He continues the same flirtatious way the other started.
"Hmm... is not as fun to say it as it would be to show you..." Tae is biting on his thumb, he always felt anxious when their little games started to escalate.
"Who knows when I get home, you can show me." Jimin teases him, feeling a bit excited as well.
"I really can’t wait Jimin ah..." He lies on the soft pillow not helping but to imagine both of them in bed together.
"Taehyung-ah, you are not going to believe this, we have a few weeks of vacation! Isn’t that cool?" Jimin suddenly says, changing the subject as the others were a little to close to him now.
"That sounds good." Taehyung answers, reminding himself to breathe again then frowning at how easy Jimin could go from sexy as fuck to a little bundle of happiness in one second.
"So, what do you want to do during this time?" Jimin asks, but he’s already sure the other had nothing in mind.
"I have no plans yet, but what are you doing tonight, Jimin? Tae starts thinking of what they could do to enjoy the time out just the two of them.
"Well, nothing really... maybe I’ll just take a walk in the park, the weather is good." Jimin thought that maybe Tae could join him also.
"Do you wanna go out with me?" Taehyung sees no better timing for it.
"Like on a date?" Jimin feels the need to confirm the obvious.
“Yes…” And Tae gladly does so.
“Where are we going?” Jimin asks curious to what the other might have planed for them.
"I suppose that’s a yes!" Taehyung laughs. “Well, how about we go dancing, what do you think?"
"Sounds great! But just dancing though?" For some reason Jimin feels a tinge disappointed whatever he chosen wasn’t exactly private.
"We can do whatever you want, Jimin, if you want more than dancing…" But Kim Taehyung has always a card up his sleeve.
"Hey, can you talk to your girlfriend later? I have better things to do." Namjoon shouted interrupting the conversation, already waiting by the car. Taehyung can hear him in the background and also Jimin laughing.
"We can set the details later Tae, I have to go." Jimin sounded happy and Tae even more, he couldn’t wait for tonight.
"See you, Jiminie." Taehyung smooches the phone’s receiver and hangs up. "AHHHHHH, this is driving me crazy!" He screams and shoves his face on the pillow, trying very hard to think of other things other than Jimin.

Jackson comes running through the door, the sound of the little bell startling Hoseok.
"Did the surgery started yet?" Jackson asks gasping for air and supporting himself on the counter.
"It just finished like two minutes ago.” Hoseok answers while distracted with something on his hands.
"No kidding?" Hoseok nods. "Aish... I can’t believe it!" Jackson rubs his head in frustration. "I thought I would get in time." He sighs.
"Don’t worry, there’s at least three more this week." Hoseok comforts the other, Jackson smiles and stops to notice what he was doing.
"What is that?" He points to a small jar on Hoseok’s hands.
"Ah, this is a very special thing." He says, his eyes sparkling.
“Isn’t that a lollipop? Why is it so special?” Jackson asks, clearly confused.
"Is not just any lollipop, it’s a trophy." Jimin held it high above his head.
"I’m afraid to ask why…” He found everything a bit too strange.
“My loved one precious tongue has touched it, so I’m keeping it as a prize.” At that Jackson could only make a disgusted face, thinking Hoseok was a really weird guy.
"Ah my love..." Hoseok embraced the tiny jar as he started daydreaming.
“Bro, you’re totally crazy…” Jackson whispers to himself, eyeing Hoseok one last time before leaving him alone with his... lollipop?

Taehyung took his time in the shower, he wanted to be in his best form today, because finally after a long time he would have some alone time with Jimin, enjoy and maybe even spell out all he wanted to say to the other.
What he felt for Jimin was clearer than ever as water fell heavily on top of his head, his heart pounding each time he thought about what would be Jimin’s reaction. He gasped when he heard steps inside the house and Jimin announcing his presence.
Taehyung quickly finished the shower and dressed himself with impressive speed. Arriving at the kitchen, he saw Jimin’s small back while he dropped something on the counter. "You’re finally home." He said, drying his hair with a towel. Jimin turned around and flashed him his beautiful smile.
"Yes, I am. And did you know what I was thinking?" Jimin says showing him suggestive look. "We could postpone this dancing date and stay at home, just the two of us, alone, what do you think?" Well, Taehyung thinks it’s a wonderful idea as he takes a few steps getting dangerously close to the other.
"You know what I was thinking?" Taehyung puts a hand on each side of the counter, trapping Jimin who started to breathe slowly.
"I was thinking of how much I wanted to take all your clothes off, throw you right there in that couch and..." Taehyung closes his eyes biting at his lower lip, imagining all the things he would do. He opened them to look intensely at Jimin who stood there without any sign of surprise.
"So why keep this only in thoughts?" Taehyung felt a shiver go through his entire body and was about to attack Jimin’s lips when the sound of his ringtone suddenly awakes him.
"Nooooooooooooooooo!" Taehyung shouts outraged that it was all a dream and worse, it ended on the best part. He kicked the sheets away and threw the pillow at the wall before looking at his mobile playing non-stop right beside him.
"What?" Taehyung answers it in quite a harsh tone for having his beautiful dream interrupted.
"Did I wake you, Tae? I’m so sorry." Jimin softly says.
"Oh, no, don’t worry... what can I do for you, Jiminie?" Tae immediately changes from upset to bright and mellow, knowing now to whom he was speaking.
"About our date, I have some things to do before that so I won’t get home now, but how about we meet there at 9 PM?" Jimin says and for a second Tae’s heart was in his troath thinking he would be stood up.
"There? Do you know where we’re going already?" He asks, feeling a little surprised.
"Well, if we are going to dance then there’s only one good place in this town." Jimin explains.
"That’s true." Taehyung nods, knowing exactly what place Jimin was referring to, remembering the days they used to go to it. "Well, then I’ll see you there."
"Good, you better not forget about me in case you see a pretty girl there, Tae." Jimin teases him.
"Don’t worry, Jimin, no one is better than you." And Tae doesn’t even need to lie.
"Well, I see there then, Tae-tae.” Jimin chuckles, knowing full well Tae won’t be running after girls, as a matter of fact, it’s been years since he last saw his friend with someone.
"See you, Jiminie." Tae hangs off the phone and after spending several minutes thinking about why Jimin would be out until that late in the night before meeting him – and of course feeling like the most jealous man in the world - he finally started looking for a nice outfit to wear even though he still had hours to decide, he wondered since when he had become this kind of person that spends hours looking for the right outfit just to meet up with someone who already knows everything he owns.
"Jimin... you’re gonna kill me one of these days…” He groans, throwing pieces of clothing all over the room.

8:30 PM
Taehyung was so anxious for his date that he got there half an hour earlier. He was standing next to the club’s door, the most famous one in the city, waiting for Jimin.
8:45 PM
Taehyung was still waiting, humming some songs and letting his feet tap across the sidewalk, watching the queue of people lined in front of the club, excited to get in as well.
8:50 PM
Taehyung opened a package of gum and started chewing non-stop trying to relieve the anxiety bubbling up inside him.
8:55 PM
Taehyung throws the gum away, thinking that it didn’t help at all with his nervousness. He notices that some girls passing by where watching him, giggling to each other. He thinks he’s probably looking very good right now and if Jimin wasn’t the only one on his mind he might have tried hooking up with one of them. Instead he just looks away and the girls follow ahead sighing in disappointed.
9:00 PM
Taehyung is at the verge of a nervous breakdown when he spots Jimin finally coming. And oh my God, how beautiful he looks. Jimin is wearing a black shirt with a generous v line showing of his neck and a small part of his chest, his skin pale and indescribably perfect contrasting with his clothes.
9:01 PM
Jimin approaches him smiling widely, he lightly touches the tip of one finger to the bridge of Taehyung’s nose and winks, and Taehyung is completely melted by the simple gesture.
"Right on time!" Jimin says with a playful tone.
"And yet it seemed like an eternity!" Tae pouts as he gazes at his watch. Jimin smiles and is already walking towards the door, Tae following along with the same smile plastered on his face.
"I know." Jimin smirks and he’s so charming to the security guard at the club’s door, that he immediately lets him and Taehyung in freely without having to take the gigantic line. Already inside, Jimin takes a few steps ahead into the crowd of people pulling Taehyung with him.
"Where to start?" Jimin asks Taehyung while looking around the place.
“Drinking, of course." Taehyung answers and Jimin laughs at him. They get to the bar and make their orders, and despite the sound around being quite loud they can still hear each other in account of their proximity.
"What did you do today, Jimin?" Taehyung says directly to his ear after taking a shot of his drink, he was way too curious how the other had spent his time alone.
"Well, before going to Yoongi’s office, we first went to a Pet Clinic, Seokjin and Namjoon were there too..."
"A Pet Clinic… I didn’t know you were sick, kitten." Taehyung cuts him, petting the other’s hair and Jimin falls into a fit of laughter.
“That was such a lame pick up line, Tae.” He says after recovering his breath.
"We need to drink more for that to work, give me a break." Taehyung laughs too. "Anyway, please continue...”
"We were looking for Jackson, but he wasn’t there, then we had to go to the University... I found someone there I hadn’t seen for two years." Jimin starts talking again.
“Who?” Taehyung questions, his grin threatening to leave his lips.
"Actually, I didn’t even remember him at all, but after we talked, I recalled having met him before… Jungkook was his name I think." Taehyung arches one eyebrow not really happy to know Jimin met some guy on the street.
"After that we finally got to Yoongi’s office, all the boring stuff you already know, that’s when you called me and that’s pretty much it, how about you?"
Taehyung was very suspicious that Jimin did not mention what he did after Yoongi’s – where the hell and with who did he spend his time until nine PM? - But swallowed the lump is his troath and decided to share his day.
"I slept and slept and then ate some left over pizza, then… wait, ah I slept again, seems like my life is not as agitated as yours." He gives an awkward smile and after a moment of silence, Tae decides to ignore the jealousy rising on his mind and thinks it is time for a move.
"Jimin..." Taehyung said while getting even closer to Jimin, who was listening carefully to the other man. "I must tell you something..."
"Tell me..." Jimin looks him straight in the eyes, but the place they are offers no help as the sound increases ten fold when some DJ comes to the stage.
"Jimin..." Taehyung still tries to talk, tilting his head, but Jimin doesn’t seem to be able to to hear anything scrunching up his nose.
"Tae, why don’t we go dancing? You can talk to me later" Jimin then shouted in his ear, Taehyung nods, he would have to wait a little longer, too much was going on now.
They mingled with the crowd, slowly beginning to dance and feel the music take control, they started a little distant from each other, but soon were almost touching. Taehyung could feel the scent of Jimin’s perfume when the other turned his back to him, he was still very close, almost against Taehyung’s body.
He decides is time to take an initiative and closes the space between them, the tip of his nose touches Jimin’s nape, his hand almost as an instinct falls on the other’s small waist, sliding above the curves of his hips, his other hand on Jimin’s shoulder, fingers sliding dow his arms and stopping at his palm, which closes, trapping his them in, his body attracted to the heat emanating from Jimin.
And they continue to dance as if it was nothing unusual, as if it wasn’t the first time they had touch each other that way. Taehyung takes a deep breath when the thrill which only he only felt in his dreams comes rushing through him.
Jimin throws his arms back, hands on each side of Taehyung’s neck, eyes closed. And Taehyung can feel everything as he moves, the curve of his back, Jimin’s strong thighs, and his amazing ass all in contact with his body. But as fast as it started it comes to an end, in a when someone interrupts, getting between them, breaking them apart.
Taehyung stares with wide eyes at the girl who like in a flash of light took away his pleasure. She now dances in front of him as if she knew him, as if she was Taehyung’s owner, queen of the world. Without any shame she presses herself against him, claiming him as hers, wanting all his attention. Taehyung is so shocked that he can’t even respond, leaving the girl to do what she pleases.
But as soon as his senses come back he thinks of Jimin and gives the girl a rather hard push scanning the place looking for the one he was supposed to be with. He spots him on the other side of the place, giving him thumbs up and a yellow smile, as if wishing him good luck, but not really.
"What? No!" Taehyung feels like crying already, why must there always have something between them? He gets himself ready to follow Jimin, but before he could reach to him, Jimin disappears among the people in the club.
