"Did anyone see my shirt?" Jimin's frantic voice erupted inside the waiting room as he paced back and forth, looking for his missing shirt.

"Check my bag." Yoongi simply answered.

Everyone was preparing for their second match, well everyone except Taehyung who just sat in the corner, looking at Jungkook while he's changing to his jersey.

He doesn't want to be too obvious, ogling at the sight of Jungkook's mouthwatering abs, but his eyes seemed to betray him.

Taehyung couldn't look away as if he's only seeing Jungkook's naked body for the first time.

"You're drooling." Jungkook playfully whispered, snapping Taehyung away from his sinful thoughts.

He blushed, immediately turning his attention to his cast.

"I'm not even looking." He denied, feeling so embarrassed.

He heard his sexy chuckle which only made Taehyung groan.

Why is everything about Jungkook so sexy?

"It's okay to stare, Tae. As long as it's you." Jungkook whispered, his hot breath fanning Taehyung's ear, making him shiver.

The brunet couldn't help but bite his lower lip, feeling his cheeks burning.

"What are you two whispering about?" Hoseok suddenly asked, noticing how the two seemed to be in their own little world.

"Nothing." They answered in unison, making Hoseok nod his head.

"Okay. Jungkook, let's hurry up." Hoseok reminded, placing his things inside his bag.

He turned to look at Taehyung and smiled.

"Don't worry, Tae. We'll win this for you." Hoseok winked, making Taehyung laugh.

"I'm counting on you." He answered which made Hoseok smile like the sunshine that he is.

Everyone started to move out of the waiting room as Namjoon practically shove them out.

"Hurry!" His voice boomed to which Taehyung just shakes his head.

"He's always too nervous every game." He commented, looking at Jungkook who's now tying his shoelaces.

"Hurry up. You don't want to be scolded, do you?" He urged, seeing how Jungkook seemed to be taking his time.

"Hey, let's get moving." Jimin said as he turned to look at the two.

"We'll follow." Jungkook simply responded, placing his clothes inside his own bag.

Jimin just nodded his head as he made his way out, leaving the two behind.

"Let's get going." Taehyung stood, holding to his crutches to support him.

He was about to take a step when Jungkook suddenly stood in front of him, stopping him.

"Can't I get a good luck kiss?" Jungkook asked which made Taehyung almost lose his balance.

"What?!" He asked, blushing.

His nervous eyes immediately darted to the closed door, fearing that someone might come in any moment.

"I need a good luck charm, Tae." Jungkook sexily whispered, arms slowly circling around Taehyung's waist.

He leaned forward until their faces are only an inch away, lips almost touching.

"Just a kiss, okay." Taehyung whispered, eyes not leaving the ravenette's deep charcoal black eyes.

"Well if you want more then -"

Taehyung suddenly leaned forward, catching Jungkook off guard as he pressed his soft lips on the ravenette's own in a quick kiss.

"Good luck." Taehyung uttered as soon as he pulled away.

He hasn't gotten a step out of Jungkook's grasp when he was suddenly pulled closer, body slamming on Jungkook's hard case.

He couldn't help but moan when Jungkook attacked his lips, this time aggressively.

The ravenette's tongue playfully entered Taehyung's mouth, making him groan in ecstasy.

His crutches fell down the floor, slipping out of his hands, but he didn't care.

Instead, he gripped Jungkook's arms for support as the kiss deepened almost making him delirious.

He could feel Jungkook's hand travelling down to his ass, making him flinch.

"J-jung-" He couldn't finish his own words as Jungkook started kneading his ass, pushing his body closer.

"Fuck, Tae." Jungkook groaned, breathing ragged as he traced his lips on Taehyung's jawline down to his delicate neck that had the brunet closing his eyes in pleasure.

"You're getting me too excited with just a kiss." Jungkook confessed, sucking Taehyung's skin a bit hard which earned a groan of satisfaction from the latter.

"-kook.." Taehyung called out, hands gripping Jungkook's raven locks.

"The game.." He breathed, trying to pull Jungkook away with the little self control left of him.

Jungkook groaned, sucking on his skin once more before finally pulling away.

His eyes were darker than usual as he stared at Taehyung with too much intensity.

"You got me all fired up." Jungkook whispered, placing a soft kiss on Taehyung's nose.

The brunet felt his cheeks burn as Jungkook hugged him tight.

"I'll win this game for you." He uttered in a low voice.

"You better. Make my good luck kiss work." Taehyung answered with a satisfied smile on his lips.

"I definitely will." Jungkook pulled away, staring deeply at Taehyung's eyes.

"And if I did, don't you think I deserve an award?" He asked in a naughty tone that made Taehyung roll his eyes.

"Just win and then we'll talk about that." He answered, pushing Jungkook a little.

"Let's go out. Coach will definitely kill you." Taehyung said as Jungkook ducked down to pick up his crutches.

The two of them finally went out as if nothing happened between them inside the waiting room.

Jungkook approached his team members on the field while Taehyung took a seat on their bench.

He looked at his friends as they went to their positions.

Taehyung couldn't help but feel envious, wanting to be in the field with them.

He sighed, pouting at his cast that hindered him to do so.

"I want to play." He murmured.

"Don't worry, hyung. They'll win this." Yeonjun suddenly appeared and sat next to him. He smiled, making Taehyung smile as well.

"I know. It's just that... I want to go and play with them." He sighed, eyes locking on the ravenette who's standing in the middle of the field, looking so cool and manly.

"For now, let's just cheer on them, hyung." Yeonjun beamed, raising his fists in the air as he cheered for their team.

Taehyung giggled, finding the younger too adorable to handle. He looked at their teammates and began cheering for them.

The game finally started as the Predators obviously have the advantage against the Seoul Hunters.

Their team didn't struggle with offense as the opposing team has a weak defensive lineup as compared to their team's forwards.

Taehyung would've been up his feet if not for his cast when Jungkook got the ball, striking it with a lot of force as it rolled pass through the goalie, straight to the net which made the crowd roar.

"Yes!" Taehyung screamed in delight, feeling elated seeing Jungkook ran back to his teammates and had his butt slapped.

The brunet couldn't help but grin, proud of his boyfriend going all out on the field.

His eyes grew large when Jungkook turned to look at him, smiling brightly as he winked.

Taehyung felt his cheeks flare with his heart thumping wildly off his chest. He wanted to squeal as he felt tingles all over his skin but held it off.

"Jungkook hyung is so cool!" Yeonjun commented as he turned to look at Taehyung.

"Y-yeah." Taehyung agreed, feeling his cheeks turning hotter.

Yeonjun couldn't help but stare at the brunet and the ravenette who are now locking eyes with each other.

There's something in the way they look at each other which made Yeonjun curious.

As he stared at Taehyung, only then was he able to notice the red blotches on his neck. Though a bit faint, Yeonjun couldn't mistake what those marks are.

"Hyung! Are those hickeys?!" He blurted out, eyes wide in surprise.

Taehyung turned to look at the younger with a horrified look.

"W-what?" He asked, quickly covering his neck.

However, it was too late. The younger players who were sitting on the bench already flocked to him and saw the marks.

"Those are definitely hickeys." Beomgyu agreed with a fascinated smile on his lips.

Taehyung felt like he's on the hot seat as curious eyes stared at him.

"These aren't hickeys, you perverted brat. These are mosquito bites." Taehyung retorted back, looking away to hide how unconvincing he looks when he lies.

He could feel the younger members' eyes on him. Fortunately, Jungkook had scored another goal that took the attention away from him.

"Jungkook hyung!" The men cheered, making Taehyung internally sigh in relief.

He looked at the ravenette in the field, cursing him in his mind for leaving marks on his skin.

-----

"Good game, everyone." Coach Rain praised as the team huddled in the waiting room.

"Since all of you showed your A game today, I'll be giving you a day off from practice." He announced, making the men cheer.

"That's what I'm talking about." Jin whispered, making Namjoon grin.

"I'll let you recharge and let loose for a day but after that we'll resume the practice for our next game. Is that clear?" Coach Rain asked, eyes roaming around the room.

"Yes, coach!"

The members finally dispersed and called it a day while the seven of them proceeded on eating out.

"Let's pick this place. The main dish looks good." Jin suggested to which everyone agreed.

They entered the restaurant, eyes immediately landed on them, but they were already too used to it to even care.

"Taehyung and Jungkook, go find an empty seat." Yoongi ordered as the five of them lined up to order.

"Okay." Jungkook answered, supporting Taehyung by the waist as the two of them looked for the perfect spot.

"There's an empty space over there." Taehyung pointed out.

The two of them made their way to the corner, claiming the spot as they took a seat next to each other.

"What do you want? I'll order for us." Jungkook asked as soon as Taehyung settled on his seat.

"I already told Jimin what to buy us." Taehyung informed.

"Okay." Jungkook responded, moving closer to the brunet who kept on moving away.

"Don't come close. I'm still annoyed at you." Taehyung warned.

The ravenette couldn't help but scoff. "What did I do?" He asked in an exasperated tone.

Taehyung just raised his brow, pointing out the marks on his neck that he's been trying to hide.

Jungkook grinned, reaching out to touch his skin, making him jolt.

"I'm just claiming what's mine." He whispered, caressing his skin.

"At least now, everyone who will see it will know that you're already taken." Jungkook added, circling his thumb on the red marks.

"Although they won't know that it's from me." Jungkook smiled though it didn't reach his eyes.

Taehyung couldn't help but stare at the sadness in Jungkook's face. It was brief, but he was sure he had seen it right.

He felt a pang of guilt in his chest as he looked down on his hands.

He's well aware that Jungkook wanted their relationship to be public. He doesn't care what other people will say.

However, Taehyung was the one who's being a coward.

Just like what Ji-Eun had pointed out, he's been loving Jungkook half heartedly.

"Order's here." Jimin came near them, placing the tray in front of Taehyung and Jungkook.

The rest of the boys followed with their own food as they settled in their seats.

"This tastes good." Jin commented, eating his food in a fast pace.

"Here. Have mine too." Namjoon offered, giving half of his food to Jin who just smiled widely.

Everyone was enjoying the food, but Jimin seemed to notice that Taehyung was just toying with his own.

"You didn't like it?" Jimin asked, making everyone turn their heads to the brunet.

"Uh no.. This is good." He answered.

He looked at everyone in the table, slowly dropping his utensils as he cleared his throat.

"Actually.." He whispered, heaving a deep breath as he gained courage to speak.

"Uh guys.." He said once more as his friends look at him with expectant eyes.

"What's the problem?" Jungkook asked, seeing him turning red.

Taehyung shakes his head, filling his lungs once more as he finally spoke.

"Jungkook and I are dating."

He blurted out which made everyone stop. Jungkook's eyes were wide, unbelieving the words that came out of his mouth.

Hoseok who was drinking his sprite, splattered the liquid out of his mouth in utter shock.

"What?!" His eyes were wide, looking at the two as if they had grown three more heads.

"We're dating." Taehyung reiterated.

His eyes darted to his other friends who didn't seem shock at all.

"Why am I the only one shocked here?!" Hoseok noticed to which everyone just shrugged their shoulders.

"We already know." Namjoon plainly said as he continued to eat.

"You do?!" Taehyung and Hoseok asked in unison.

"Yeah. It's obvious." Yoongi agreed.

"What do you mean it's obvious?!" Hoseok seemed like he's about to lose his shit.

"The only obvious ones here are you and Jimin." Hoseok blurted out, making Jimin choke on his spaghetti.

"What?!" It's Taehyung's turn to be surprised.

He saw Jimin blush as he wiped his mouth with tissue.

"What do you - Are you two together?" Taehyung asked in disbelief.

"We also know about that." Namjoon said as a matter of fact.

"Woah.. I didn't see that coming." Jungkook admitted.

"Saw them kissing last time." Jin informed, making Yoongi groan.

"The fuck. Shut up." Yoongi covered his face in embarrassment.

"I'm seriously shocked right now. I'll lose my shit if Namjoon and Jin are also dating. Like seriously, that couldn't happen right?" Hoseok laughed, sipping his sprite once more.

Everyone turned silent, eyes staring at Hoseok who could only spit his drink once more.

"The fuck you're dating?!" He asked as he glared at the two who just shrugged their shoulders.

"We kiss so yeah, we're dating." Jin casually answered as he continued eating.

"What the fuck!" Hoseok blurted out, feeling too overwhelmed by the revelations.

"Why are you telling me all these just now?!" He asked in horror.

"Not our fault you're too dense." Yoongi replied which made everyone laugh.

Hoseok continued to blabber as Taehyung felt a soft nudge on his side, making him look at the ravenette who's staring at him.

"I thought you wanted to keep us a secret?" He asked, eyes shining from happiness.

Taehyung smiled shyly. "It's your reward for winning earlier." He whispered.

Jungkook grinned, placing his arms over Taehyung's shoulders, pulling him closer.

"Thank you." Jungkook whispered, too elated to see Taehyung opening up their relationship to others slowly.

He leaned closer, planting a soft kiss on Taehyung's forehead.

As they pulled away, their eyes landed on Hoseok who's staring at them.

"I still can't believe I'm seeing this." Hoseok mumbled which made the rest laugh.

"So does this mean I'm the only one single here?" He asked, reality finally dawning in him.

"Well, it seems like it." Namjoon agreed which only made Hoseok groan.

"I hate all of you."
