Work Text:
For Yoongi, every morning starts with a dark hot coffee and checking his smartphone. He skims through his notifications to find the only reason he is looking at his smartphone right after getting out of bed.
LOML: Can’t wait to see you later <3
A smile tugs at Yoongi’s lips seeing the message. Tonight, Taehyung will finally be back in Seoul. Both of them have been looking forward to his return for weeks. With two last concerts in Seoul, Taehyung is finally finishing up his tour. Yoongi is invited to the second one; the last day of Taehyung’s tour. Yoongi has been keeping track of his tour through social media. He liked every single one of Taehyung’s selfies he posted after the concert and watched some video’s fans uploaded, but what he looked forward to the most was receiving a message from his boyfriend after work. A personal selfie just for him, bare-faced with a smile on his lips.
Sipping on his coffee, Yoongi answers.
Yoongi: missed you <3
Like every Tuesday, Yoongi puts on his slacks and his pressed white dress shirt to get ready for work. He combs through his hair to look presentable and sprays a little perfume on his collar. Today isn’t just any day, after all.
He grabs his working bag with the little tiger keychain he got from Taehyung. Fan-merchandise. The animal his fans said fitted him and Yoongi agreed, even though Taehuyng actually was more like a teddy bear than a wildcat.
Most days, Yoongi takes the bike to work to keep himself fit. He doesn’t do any other exercise aside from biking and he is approaching his thirties. He should look after himself. With a black helmet adorned with a tiger sticker (don’t ask; it wasn’t Yoongi’s idea) on his head, Yoongi made his way through the busy streets of Seoul to get to his office on time. He locks his bike in front of the office, goes through the security with his company keycard, and takes the elevator to the fifth floor.
He checks his black leather wristwatch on the way up. Relieved, he realizes he is a little early. The elevator rings as the doors open on the fifth floor. The open-plan office is still relatively empty. Yoongi greets a few colleagues on his way to his desk cubicle. Everything is like he left it yesterday.
When he sits down, Taehyung smiles at him from a poster behind his laptop. Taehyung gave him the poster on a whim and Yoongi cherishes everything his boyfriend gives him. His pens are neatly organized in the corner of his desk and all of his office supplies are stacked in the drawers under his desk. Yoongi places his thermo with coffee on his desk and starts up his laptop.
Right at that moment Jimin, his colleague and begrudgingly also his best friend, peers into his cubicle.
“Good morning.” Jimin lilts.
“Morning.” Yoongi grumbles and gives Jimin a small smile.
Jimin giggles. “No way.” He isn’t looking at Yoongi anymore, instead his eyes are focused on his laptop. “Really? Taehyung is even your laptop background?”
Yoongi sighs. A long time ago, Yoongi had surrendered to his fate. While he takes pride in the way he decorates his office space, he also accepts the teasing that comes with it. Not only has he some great stationary and a poster of Taehuyng, no, he also has hung up limited edition Taehyung photo cards and pictures from the two after his last concert in his cubicle.
“You’re so cute.” Jimin continues, a gleam into his eyes, “You really are Taehyung’s boyfriend.”
“You’re one to talk.” Yoongi answers. “You literally faint whenever you see RM perform, at least Taehyung is my boyfriend.”.
“Right. Your boyfriend. If that’s the case when RM is my boyfriend too.” Jimin rolls his eyes.
Yoongi frowns. He knows Jimin doesn’t believe that Taehyung, Jimin’s favourite idol Kim Taehyung, is Yoongi’s boyfriend, but still hearing sarcastic remarks out of his mouth upsets him a little. Yoongi shakes his head at Jimin’s antics. “Yeah? I met him a few months ago and he was single at the time, since when have you two been dating?” Yoongi answers without batting an eye.
Jimin cracks up at that. “Yeah, when did you meet him?”
“At Taehyung’s.” Yoongi answers curt.
A little bit of worry clouds Jimin’s gaze, but he covers it up with a bright smile. “Yoongi, should I be worried? Do I need to intervene? You’re becoming a bit obsessive.”
He is clearly joking but Yoongi can sense a bit of worry and a bit of ernesty in his question. It’s been this way since the day Yoongi officially became a Taehuyng fan. At least in the eyes of his friends. Yoongi rolls his eyes at Jimin, “All good, Jimin, all good. Now don’t waste my time and let me work.”.
Jimin eyes him for a few minutes before he winks at him and vanishes into the cubicle next to him with the parting words: “Don’t forget the tickets for your boyfriends concert are going to be sold later today!”
Yoongi groans. “Yeah, yeah.” Unlike Jimin, Yoongi did not need to try to get tickets; he already had a VIP seat for the second day concert. Yoongi grumbles under his breath. Some days he wishes he wouldn’t have told anyone of his best friend about his boyfriend of one year. Back then, Taehyung and him had only been dating for a few months. But for Yoongi, it had been difficult to keep their relationship secret. He had been so relieved to finally talk about it. Had he known what would happen, he would have never said it out loud. Or maybe he should have said it right at the beginning.
Yoongi snorts. He opens up the excel spreadsheet he needs to finish while he thinks back to the fateful evening. Maybe Yoongi didn’t go about it in the right way. But you have to cut him some slack. He was vibrating with excitement to finally be able to tell his best friends about his new boyfriend. Even more so to tell them he was dating Kim Taehyung, THE KIM TAEHYUNG, most handsome man of 2017 and all the years following it. Jimin has been a fan since forever.
For years Jimin had chewed his ear up about Taehyung this and Taehyung that. Yoongi had never been interested in idols or idol music. Even though Jimin told him to check Taehyung’s music out, Yoongi never did. He only listened to hip hop or rap on his way to work or on the rare days he chose to work out, but that’s it.
One Friday evening, when all of his friends gathered in their favorite bar and Jimin was gushing over something Taehyung related, Yoongi thought it was the perfect time to blurt out, “I’m a fan now too. I’m dating Taehuyng.”
Jimin had looked at him like he lost his marbles, Jungkook choked on his beer, and Hoseok bursted into laughter so loud it echoed through the whole bar. It took Jimin a second till he also bursted out laughing, “Finally. I told you he makes great music. So you’re his boyfriend now?”.
Yoongi had fidgeted with his drink and nodded. Although he had been a tiny bit confused, because “finally”? Had Jimin known they were dating? Had he been that bad at keeping it a secret?
Jungkook was the first to question it. “But you’re not really his boyfriend, right? You’re just joking, aren’t you?” In typical Jungkook fashion, he looked at him with innocent wide eyes.
Yoongi had frowned at the three who waited for his answer. He came prepared thinking he might be questioned, in hindsight he made everything worse. Naively he thought showing a rare Taehyung photo card - he had stashed it in his wallet after Taehuyng had given it to him - would prove how close he is to him. Why else would he have such a rare photo card?
He had taken the photo card out of his wallet and proudly proclaimed, “Would I have that if I wasn’t his boyfriend?”.
For a second the silence between them grew thick till Hoseok cracked up again, screaming: “I can’t not believe you.”. This time, Jungkook choked on his spit. Jimin giggled and eyed the photocard.
Yoongi’s frown deepened. “I’m being serious here.”
“We know.” Jimin answered, taking the photocard in his hand, “this is a rare photocard after all, you really are Taehuyng’s boyfriend, since when?”.
“Four months, sorry, for keeping it a secret for so long.”
“Why did you keep it a secret? You know, we wouldn’t have judged you.” Jimin seemed earnest.
Even Hoseok stopped laughing and added, “Yeah, Yoongi, I’m only laughing cause I did not expect this from you, I’m not laughing about you.” Jungkook wildly nodded between the two. As an avid Girls group fan, Jungkook took being a fan seriously, just like Jimin.
“Taehuyng wanted me too. He thought it would be better to first see if it goes well.”
Jimin glanced at him with a weird look in his eyes. Again the silence stretched between them. Yoongi glanced from one to the other. Jungkook looked like he was trying to figure Yoongi out, Hoseok looked ready to laugh again and Jimin looked at Yoongi like he had some serious issues.
“You know you’re not really his boyfriend, right?” Jimin asked slowly.
“What do you mean?” Yoongi asked them, “I am. We randomly met at a club.”
Jimin cracked a smile, Jungkook snorted and Hoseok bursted out laughing again. “Right? You at a club, hyung. No way.” Hoseok giggled.
Yoongi had never felt so lost in a conversation with his friends. “Yeah, my boss invited everyone, you know how it is. I had to go.”
“As if.” Jimin nudged him with his elbow, “Why wasn’t I there if it was for work?”
“I don’t remember.” Yoongi shrugged. He really can't remember. It had been about five months ago? Had Jimin been sick? Or on a business trip? Yoongi had been too occupied with the beautiful man making heart eyes at him. At him . Yoongi in his ill-fitting suit, who had looked - in his opinion - rather miserable, because he wanted to be anywhere but at the club. He much preferred cuddling with his cat and reading a good book.
Well, till the beautiful stranger got up from his seat and chatted him up.
He had introduced himself as Taehyung, and even though his face seemed slightly familiar to Yoongi, he hadn’t recognized the man dressed to the nines. He had gone home with the number of a hot man and had walked on cloud nine.
“Okay, this is funny and all, but you don’t seriously believe you’re Taehyung's boyfriend? You mean in a “fan” kind of way, right?” Jimin asked.
“Yes, I do.” Yoongi frowned. “I am-”
“That’s what I thought.” Jimin interrupted him.
“What’s the fan way?” Hoseok budded in. “I mean I'm seriously entertained right now by whatever early midlife crisis Yoongi is having right now.”
“I’m not having a midlife crisis.” Yoongi mumbled. “I’m twenty nine.”
Hoseok only waved him off.
“Calling yourself Taehyung’s boyfriend indicates you’re a hardcore fan of Taehyung.” Jungkook stated, biting on his lower lip to suppress a smile.
Yoongi's jaw slacked. “What?” He huffed.
“Our insider fandom joke.” Jimin grinned at him. “In a way I’m also his boyfriend, I’m usually not one to use the term, but I’m happy you found something you’re passionate about.”
“Yeah, hyung,” Jungkook agreed, “I would go to a concert with you.”
“We should all go some day.” Jimin agreed wholeheartedly. With that Yoongi’s fate was sealed. Apparently calling yourself Taehyung’s boyfriend indicates you’re a hardcore fan (or stan like Jimin called him - what does that even mean? Yoongi has no clue). Somehow he became the butt of the joke. Since that day, he has been called Taehyung’s boyfriend. Whenever Yoongi proclaimed he really was Taehyung’s boyfriend, his friends thought he was playing into the joke.
No matter what he did.
He sent them a picture in the group chat from him and Taehyung’s dog.
Jimin: Did you get the same dog as him??
JK: you really are Taehyung’s fan I accept it
Hoseok: kekekekekek
Jimin: do you even have the time to care for a dog??
He sent them a selfie of him and Taehyung.
JK: great photoshop hyung what program did u use??
Jimin: 0.0 you’re skilled do you have a Tae fan page??
Can’t believe I’ve never asked you that
Hoseok: kekeke you’re taking it too far kekek i might die of laughter
Nothing worked. Nothing.
And by now, nearly a year later, Yoongi has accepted his fate. But one day he is gonna blow their minds.
Yoongi sighs and goes back to checking his excel sheet. Only two more hours and he will be out of the office, and tonight Taehuyng will come over.Yoongi can’t wait to see him. A whole month the idol has been on tour and Yoongi misses him like crazy.
Yoongi rolls his eyes. There are still 30 minutes left till he can go home and his phone keeps beeping. He takes and holds it under his desk to peek at it.
Jimin: I GOT US TICKETS FOR THE SEOUL CONCERT!!
Hoseok: ????
Jimin: for Yoongi’s boyfriend
Yoongi sighs seeing that Hoseok was already typing.
Hoseok: kekek for all of us?
Jimin: yeah for all of us, i told you to keep the weekend free
JK: i forgot
Jimin: JK!! YOU ARE GOING TO COME OR I WILL VISIT YOU AND STEAL EVERYTHING YOU OWN :)
Jk: ok i will come
fyi you did not even had to threaten me
Hoseok: excited tooo seeee yoongi’s boyfriend in action!!!
Yoongi groans and hits his head on the table.
Yoongi: which day?
Jimin: for the first dayyy - did you get through the line?
Yoongi: no
Not like he even tried but whatever.
Jimin: Aren’t u excited????
Yoongi sighs again, and rubs his temples, at least it wasn’t colliding with his schedule for the second concert. What harm was it to go with his friends?
Yoongi: super excited
Literally speechless
Jimin: :)
Hoseok: kekekee
Yoongi had just made himself comfortable with a cup of tea, a good book, and his cat purring on his lap when the doorbell rang.
Of course, Taehyung always has perfect timing.
“Coming,” A face mask hides half of Taehyung’s face and a hat hides his brownish locks.
Taehyung steps in, lets the door fall close and slings his arms around Yoongi. Nuzzling his head into his neck.“I missed you so bad.”
Warmth spreads through Yoongi as he engulfs Taehyung in his arms. His cat, August, was slinking through their legs.
“I missed you too, August,” Taehyung mumbles, “I haven’t forgotten about you.” He lets Yoongi go to press a kiss on August's head and takes the cat into his arms. His face mask hooked under his chin. As always, Taehyung was glowing even without makeup. His skin fresh and his smile vibrant.
He turns back to Yoongi pressing a kiss against his lips. Tentative, gentle.
His eyes are attentive, searching for Yoongi's.
What had he done in his past life to deserve such a gentle soul as his boyfriend?
“I love you.” Taehyung murmurs.
“I missed you too.” Yoongi answers, and brushes a hand through Taehyung’s hair, “Your hair has gotten longer.”.
Taehyung hums, slipping out of his shoes, and carries the purring cat into Yoongi’s living room.
“Have you eaten?” Yoongi asks.
"Yeah,” Taehyung mumbles, sitting down on his couch, his eyes fleeting over the candle Yoongi had just turned on, his hot tea and book lying on the coffee table.
“I would love a tea though.” August protests as Taehyung gets up.
“Let me make you one. The water should still be hot.”
Taehyung takes off his jacket. Yoongi silently watches his gorgeous boyfriend petting his cat before vanishing in the kitchen. He has Taehyung’s favorite tea stashed in his countertop,. He takes a tea bag and Taehuyng’s favorite yellow mug with the daisy. He fills the cup with hot water and goes back to the couch.
He handsTaehyung the tea as he sinks down onto the couch.
“Never want to be away from you for so long ever again.” Taehyung says as he embraces Yoongi again.
“Me neither.” Yoongi mumbles silently. It had cost him a lot of courage to ask Taehyung if it were possible to see each other more often right before his tour, and Taehuyng had agreed so wholeheartedly that it had made Yoongi swoon. He knew his idol boyfriend had a demanding schedule, but he hoped they could see each other at least a few times a week.
Taehyung's lips brush against Yoongi's neck before he presses them against Yoongi’s. The kiss is gentle.
”I brought you something from abroad.”
“You didn’t have to.” Yoongi answers. His gaze stuck in the gorgeous man in front of him.
“I know, but I wanted to.” Taehuyng grins at him. He reaches for the bag he dropped at the foot of the couch. He rummages through it and pulls out a neatly packaged box.
With childlike excitement, Taehyung watches Yoongi open it. His eyes wide and his smile bright. Behind the paper is a scarf shimmering in an intricate blue. Right next to it a small keyring of the Eiffel tower.
“It’s from France.” Taehyung says excitedly. “I saw the colors and thought of you. The key ring is a promise that I will take you there one day.”
Taehyung has always been excited about Europe. He is enthusiastic about European countries, and always tells Yoongi that one day they are going to travel together to Paris, Milan and London. Yoongi only smiles at his words. His office salary won’t allow him to even think about it.
Yoongi brushes his hand over the silky blue scary. “I love it.”
Taehyung’s grin splits his face and makes Yoongi smile. He loves to be close to his boyfriend more than anything. He doesn’t care about the present, but he loves how happy it makes Taehyung to give him something. Only for that, Yoongi treasures them.
He gets up to get his keys to attach the keyring to it. Taehyung doesn’t stop smiling. He presses soft kisses against his cheek as soon as Yoongi sits on the couch again.
“You’re cute.” Yoongi mumbles.
“You’re the cutest. You don’t know how much I’ve missed you.”
Yoongi rolls his eyes at the other and takes a sip of his tea.
“I wanted to talk with you about something.” Taehyung mumbles taking Yoongi’s hand into his. With a finger he gently traces Yoongi’s knuckles.
“What do you want to talk about?” Yoongi asks. He has always been relatively blunt and whenever he had something bothering him he would just say it out loud. Taehyung was different in his approach Yoongi had realized that early on. He needed a little coaxing and reassurance. “You know you can talk with me about everything.” Yoongi assures him, gently squeezing his hand.
A smile curls at Taehyung's lips and he looks up from their intertwined hands, there is a certain determination in his gaze. “I want to go public.”
Yoongi raises his eyebrow. “With our relationship?”
Taehyung nods. “Yes?”
“Where is this coming from?” Yoongi asks, confused because they had never talked about this before.
“Remember before my tour? When you asked me if we could spend a little more time together?” Taehyung brushes hair out of his face.
Yoongi nods. “But I did not-”
Taehyung interrupts him. “Let me finish, please. It’s something I want. On the tour I was alone with my thoughts and most of them were about you. How much I missed, how much I wanted you close to me. How easy that would be if everyone knew.”
“My only concern is you. If you could handle that, you would be okay with that. That’s all I’m asking of you. Do you want this too? I want it. Don’t even think you pressured me into this or anything like that.”
Taehyung knew him too well, because Yoongi's first thought had been exactly that. “Are you sure?” He asks, rubbing his thumb over Taehyung’s back of his hand.
“I was never more sure about anything, Yoongi. I want this. I want to see you more often! If we don’t have to keep it a secret, we can act like a couple in public. You can accompany me to parties or even the red carpet if you want to. I can meet your friends, your family.”
Yoongi inwardly snorts at the thought of his friends. Jimin would probably go into cardiac arrest seeing Taehyung in the flesh. Recounting all the days they had laughed about him. Would serve them right.
“Be honest with me.” Taehyung continues. “Do you think this is a good idea? I also don’t want to pressure you, but I would love to-”
“I think it's a great idea.” Yoongi interrupts and gives Taehyung a smile. “More time with you. Sounds like a dream.”
“You would be more scrutinized, but I would communicate that you aren’t a celebrity and they should keep you out of their mouths.” Taehuyng looks protective, fierce.
Yoongi smiles. “You’re the sweetest. I can handle it. There is nothing exciting about me anyway.”
Taehyung makes a sound in protest.
“I work nine to five in an office, where I fill out excel sheets, and then I go home to my cat. Every Friday I meet my three friends in a bar and every other day I spend time with you or a book and a good bath.”
Taehyung smiles at him so fondly, his eyes full of warmth.
“And that’s how I like it.” Yoongi concludes.
“I love you.” Taehyung says.
“I love you too.” Yoongi mumbles.
Yoongi normally doesn’t overthink, but today he spends a little too much time getting ready. He will see Taehyung, after all. Taehyung won’t see him in the mass of people, but Yoongi still wants to look good. He wears his best jeans and picks out one of his favorite shirts. He uses a little styling gel to make his hair look messier in a cool way and puts in contact lenses instead of his glasses.
His plans get ruined by the one and only Jimin.
The four friends agreed to meet up at Yoongi’s before driving to the concert venue. Jungkook arrives first dressed in all black with a cute cap on his head. Hoseok and Jimin arrive at the same time.
Seeing Jimin’s mischievous smile did not bode well for Yoongi. “I got a present.” He proclaims a minute after entering Yoongi’s apartment. “Ta-dah!” Jimin pulls out a black shirt. At first glance it looks like any black shirt, but as soon as Yoongi sees the front of the shirt he groans.
Taehyung’s face takes up most of the space and the words ‘this is my boyfriend’ are printed above his face.
Shit .
Hoseok giggles and Jungkook chokes on air.
“I won’t wear it.” Yoongi says.
“Please? I paid so much for it.”
Yoongi finds himself walking to the concert in said shirt with his excited friends next to him. At least Jimin also wore Taehyung merchandise. Hoseok looked like his usual stylish self and every one of them had a lightstick in his hand, also Jimin’s investment. Yoongi already had one, brought to him by none other than Taehyung himself for the first concert he attended.
The venue is packed to the brim. The four of them have seating places far away from the stage.
“I’m so excited for this.” Jimin squeals.
Taehuyng begins with one of Yoongi’s favorite songs. His soulful voice fills the stadium and cheers greet him. He looks beautiful on the monitors above the stage. His hair styled to perfection, his eyes soft as he gazes at his fans, a smile on his face. Whenever Taehuyng sings he looks like he enjoys himself and Yoongi's heart goes warm seeing his boyfriend so happy. He forgets about his friends and the crowd for a moment, he feels like Taehyung sings to him alone.
He knows he is here.
Obviously Yoongi had told him that he would be here with his friends and Taehyung's face had lit up. Although he had also told Yoongi that he could have gotten them all tickets. Yoongi had just said Jimin got them tickets without Yoongi knowing, because he won’t be telling his boyfriend that no one of his best friends believed him that Taehuyng actually is his boyfriend.
“I’ve written a new song.” Taehyung says.
The crowd screams.
“It’s a special song I’ve written a long time ago. Actually in the first months I’ve met this one person. He is here tonight.” Taehyung continues.
A murmur goes through the crowd and here and there a scream echoes through the concert hall. Yoongi’s heartbeat accelerates. Is Taehyung really going to? Yoongi clutches his lightstick and focuses on Yoongi.
“Oh.” Jimin says next to him. “Seems like Taehyung is in a relationship.”
Yoongi doesn’t pay attention to him. His whole focus is on no other than his boyfriend.
“Yoongi, I love you.” Taehyung’s low voice fills the whole concert hall. Yoongi, in a state of shock, held his breath for a few seconds. A beat started and Taehyung’s beautiful full voice traveled right into Yoongi’s ear leaving goosebumps on his skin. He was too spellbound by his boyfriend to notice how the three of his friends stared at him with their jaws slacked.
Yoongi slightly sways to the love confessions in a song form. Sung in front of thousands of people. He remembers the day Taehyung is singing about. They spent the whole rainy day in his apartment, slow dancing to the old vinyl records Yoongi inherited from his father. Yoongi had just repaired the old vinyl player he had also inherited and Taehyung had been excited to try it out.
This was the day Taehyung realized he loved him?
Yoongi gives a full smile in the direction of the stage knowing fully well that Taehyung can’t see him. His boyfriend has always been a romantic. Of course, he would do a great gesture like this.
The song fades out. Screams and applause booms from every corner of the concert hall.
“Thank you.” Taehyung murmurs into the microphone.
Yoongi was still a little shell shocked, but also incredibly happy.
“This is just a coincidence that you share the same name, right?” Jimin asks.
Yoongi shakes his head. Slowly turning away from the stage towards Jimin. “No. Taehyung is my boyfriend.”
“What?” Jungkook screams behind them.
“Let’s not talk about this here.” Yoongi hissed carefully looking around but no one was paying attention to them. Now with his name out there, he had to be careful. He was surrounded by Taehyung’s fans after all and he really did not want to get crowded.
Jungkook and Jimin are whispering to each other as they leave the concert hall, casting a glance in his direction. Yoongi ignores them and follows Hoseok to his car. As soon as they were a bit away from the concert hall Yoongi’s smartphone started to ring.
LOML: Come to the afterparty?
LOML: please
LOML: baby?
Yoongi smiles broadly. Taehyung.
“Do you guys want to go to the after party?” Yoongi casually asks the trio standing in front of Hoseok’s car.
“Afterparty?” Jimin asks. His face is pale.
“Yeah.” Yoongi nods. “You can all meet my boyfriend.”
Hoseok giggles. Jungkook squints his eyes at them.
“If he did not just say your name on stage I wouldn’t..” Jimin falls silent.
“Let’s go.” Jungkook exclaims excitedly. “Sounds fun.”
Jimin shakes his head. “This can’t be true.” Hoseok lightly nudges him. “I agree with Jungkook, it sounds fun. If we don’t like it we can leave.” Hoseok says.
“Just so we understand correctly, you mean Taehyung’s after-concert-party?”
“Yes!” Yoongi answers. Full of concert and love euphoria he did not care about his friends' mistrust. Taehyung is his boyfriend. “It’s a ten minute drive, I checked.”
Jimin blinks at him. “Please pinch me, I think I’m dreaming.”
Yoongi laughs at that. To tease Jimin a little he adds: “RM is probably there.” To be honest he has no clue if he is going to be there, but the three had teased him to no end for months Yoongi is allowed to have a little fun.
“Okay, I’m upgrading the pinch to a punch. Jungkook, hurt me.”
Hoseok burst out laughing while Jungkook frowns, taking Jimin’s words way too seriously. “I’m not gonna punch you.”
“Please.”
“No.”
“Should I do it?” Hoseok asks.
“No.” Jimin and Jungkook answer in unison.
Hoseok pouts.
“Let’s go.” Yoongi urges them to enter the car and texts Taehyung that he is on the way with his three best friends.
The after party was full to the brim and full of life. But somehow, Taehyung spots him right away. His boxy smile lighting up his face. Yoongi inwardly swoons. Taehyung slings his arm around him and leaves a kiss on his forehead.
Their first kiss in public.
Yoongi smiles. “Great concert.” He whispers. “I love the new song.”
Taehyung beams. “Do you?”
Yoongi nods.
Jungkook clears his throat behind Yoongi. Yoongi rolls his eyes. “These are my best friends. The tall one is Jungkook, the small one Jimin, and the one grinning at you Hoseok.” He turns around and gestures at the three.
“Hi!” Jungkook greats while Jimin seems to be too starstruck to even acknowledge the fact that Yoongi called him small. “Hello.” Hoseok greets him too. Only then Yoongi notices that RM stands next to Taehyung.
“This is one of my best friends, Namjoon, Yoongi.” He introduces them.
“Hi!” Yoongi squeaks out a little flustered.
“I’m gonna faint.” Jimin quietly says behind Yoongi, “Seriously, this is how I die, omg, I’m gonna die.”
“Namjoon?” Yoongi asks. He is going to get Jimin back for all the teasing.
“Yeah?” The rapper with the stage name RM answers. His head shaved and dyed blonde.
“My friend needs some fresh air, wouldn't you mind going outside with him? To catch some air? I would love to stay with Taehyung.”
Albeit Namjoon looks a little confused, he agrees. “Oh sure.”
“Should we..?” Namjoon hesitantly asks, holding his arm out for Jimin to hook so they can get through the crowd. Jimin does so without a word, staring at Namjoon like he hung up the stars in the sky. Namjoon leads them towards the balcony.
Hoseok snickers next to Yoongi. “I should probably follow them in case Jimin doesn’t get a word out.”
“You’re right.” Yoongi says at the same time as Taehyung asks, “Why would he?”
“Oh, he is a big fan.” Yoongi answers, stepping a little closer to his boyfriend.
“Ah.” Taehyung slings his arm around his shoulder. “Should we get a drink?”
“Wait-”
“Are you a model too?” Startled Yoongi turns to the side, but the tall man wasn’t speaking to him. He was addressing Jungkook. Jungkook shakes his head, his eyes wide and his gaze fixed on the handsome man. Yoongi gets that because damn is this man stunning.
“Wow, but you’re gorgeous.” The tall, good-looking guy continues smiling at Jungkook.
Jungkook turns red like a tomato. “Me?”
“Yeah. You must work out a lot?”
“Yeah. I do.” Jungkook gulps.
Yoongi stifles his laugh. “That’s Jin.” Taehyung murmurs. “I know him. Actor and model. He is definitely chatting your friend up.”
Yoongi watches how Jungkook seemingly stutters something out and Jin breaks out in laughter. Jungkook grins at that, his whole face lightening up but his ears still beet red. Jin's hands squeeze Jungkook’s biceps and the proud swelling of Jungkook’s chest makes Yoongi actually laugh. Yoongi has never seen Jungkook like this.
“He is a good guy.” Taehyung continues, hooking his chin on Yoongi’s shoulder.
“So?” Yoongi turns towards his boyfriend. His real boyfriend.
“Should we get out of here?” Taehyung asks, his hand pulling on Yoongi’s shirt. “Taehyung’s boyfriend?”
Confused Yoongi frowns at the other, who nods at his shirt. Yoongi groans. He had already forgotten about the embarrassing shirt Jimin got him. “Don’t ask.” Yoongi shakes his head. “It’s a long story.”
“I’ve got time.” Taehyung answers with a smile.
“Let’s get out of here.” Yoongi takes Taehyung by his hand. “Come on.”
Taehyung presses a kiss against Yoongi’s cheek and lets himself be pulled towards the exit door. Yoongi casts one last look back. He sees Jungkook smiling at Jin and Hoseok, Jimin and Namjoon joining them at the bar. This is only the start of all of their stories and Yoongi is excited about all the remaining chapters in their lifespan.
