when the door opened the cold seoul breeze seemed to hit him in the face and knock the wind from his lungs, the sight of the male standing there at the door was also responsible for the lack of breath escaping his lips. taehyung was already blushing, feeling the heat in his face at the way jungkook visibly looked him up and down.

"you look nice, as always." jungkook said, stepping aside as the boy walked out and joined him on the front step. taehyung smiled and saw how he cleaned up well himself, a black button down rolled up to the elbows and a black dress pants. his hair was parted to the side, exposing a bit of his forehead. jungkook definitely looked his best in all black.

"you look handsome too." taehyung said quietly, feeling himself blush some more as the older placed his hand on his back. they were walking to the car parked down by the road, neither seeing the boys best friend watching through the window with the biggest grin, and then his older brother trying to drag him away.

"thank you." taehyung said as the passenger side door was opened for him, and he got in and watched the older jog around the front to the opposite side. the mans cologne filled the car, not too much but in a way that had taehyung closing his eyes and trying to figure out when he would wake up and realize this was all a dream, because someone like jungkook shouldn't be taking someone like him out to dinner.

but it was real, as real as the other cars passing by them and as real as the mans hand now resting on the youngers thigh. taehyung started to play with his hand, trailing his fingertips over the knuckles and tracing scars that now permanently decorated his smooth skin. taehyung frowned a little at one particularly jagged scar, bringing the mans hand up and kissing it softly. "did it hurt?" he asked.

"which one?" jungkook looked sideways and saw the one the boy was messing with still. he looked back to the road, focusing on weaving between cars since he lacked patience. "not really, i had stitches and medication." he said.

the younger just hummed, and he continued to play with the others hand and fingers until the car parked in an empty space on the side of the city street. they got lucky this time, finding parking at night was always a nightmare, and sometimes leaving was even worse because no one let you out onto the road. taehyung glanced out the window and saw the large neon sign a few buildings down, a sports bar with music coming out of open windows and outdoor seating.

it wasn't anything fancy or romantic at all, but taehyung grinned at the sight and got out quick, joining his date outside on the sidewalk. "my dad always took me here." jungkook said, his arm going around the boys waist as they walked in. it was a seat yourself situation, and jungkook led them both to an open booth.

the sports bar was loud, televisions surrounding everything with various sports games and shows on for people to watch while they drank or ate. tonight the bar was full, people cheering for games and drinking to their hearts content. taehyung couldn't stop looking around with bright and excited eyes. "your dad has good taste." he said, sitting down across the table on the cushions of the booth.

jungkook slid in on the opposite side and the booth and folded his hands neatly on top. for some reason that was attractive, and so was the way he looked to the side and made him jawline stand out some more. dark eyes looked around the room, just observant, but fucking attractive at that. "you're staring." he had said, knowing already that the younger was.

"what are you going to do about it." taehyung said, not looking away as jungkooks eyes finally turned his way, those thin lips up in a smirk. it was a dangerous smirk, one that held secrets and told stories and was home of the lips that drove the younger crazy.

jungkook leaned closer, and so did the other, and then he whispered quietly, "i'm going to beat you in a staring contest." he said.

"you're so childish." taehyung said, but he didn't sit back and end this contest. jungkook noticed as well, and he just grinned, "but baby you're not looking away."

"because i want to win." taehyung narrowed his eyes and felt them start to water, but he wasn't about to lose this. there probably wasn't many things he'd be able to beat him at, so a staring contest was his best bet.

at least that's what he thought, but then the waitress came by, and his politeness had him looking up at the lady as she greeted them. "my name is mina and i'll be your server today." she smiled.

taehyung blinked up at her to rid his eyes of the wetness, and he smiled as well, "what can i get you guys to drink?" she asked.

jungkook leaned back and looked smug, ordered a beer, and then remained looking smug until she wrote down both their orders and walked away. "you suck." taehyung crossed his arms over his chest and glared at the handsome male across the table. jungkook just leaned forward some more, "but you don't believe that."

"yes i do." taehyung was stubborn, and he already lost one thing so he was not about give  in now.

"you like me very much." jungkook said, his hands creeping across the table to reach for the youngers hands. "and i feel the same way about you."

somehow things always sounded better when it came from thin pink lips and a satoori accent, deep and almost raspy sounding when he let his voice drop at the end of his words. taehyung couldn't stop the flutter of his heart, and this time he was glad that the waitress came back with their drinks. she took their orders as well, one getting a steak while the other was in the mood for pasta and chicken.

it was hard to remember exactly what they talked about, everything seemed to go so fast yet taehyung also thought it was a blur. at one point he sipped jungkooks beer, and then got laughed at when his nose scrunched up from disliking the flavor and the older just found it adorable.

he only had the one beer, just enjoying the coldness and the company rather than wanting to get drunk. tonight was a good night. for now that is.

jungkook remembered how his dad only had the one whenever they came, and they'd share a plate of nachos and watch the sunday night football game. it was a weekly tradition for the two of them, and he partly hoped that maybe taehyung would enjoy being his new company on these sunday nights.

gosh did the younger make him nervous. it was such an odd feeling to jungkook, hesitating when it came to actions or words because he was afraid of what the other might say. that feeling didn't go away as they finished their meals and eventually left the sports bar, hanging onto each other and laughing on their way out to the sidewalk. it was later than they expected, spending most of the time talking and now it was nearly midnight. anyone else would assume they drank more than just the one beer, but the glass wasn't even empty when they left and one boy didn't even have anything more than a curious sip. the city seemed to be going to sleep, with less cars out and nearly no one occupying the walkways.

"you're cute when your nervous, you know that right?" taehyung said, he had his arms wrapped around the older boys waist as they walked down the sidewalk, the taller ones arm over his shoulders. "what am i when i'm not nervous?" jungkook asked with a chuckle.

"still cute." the younger admitted. jungkook smiled down at him, and pulled him closer to leave a kiss against his temple.

they were almost at the car, it was only a few blocks away from the bar they ate at, and around plenty of others for people to drink away the night. that must have been what the group of guys ahead of them had done, since they came stumbling out from behind one of the parked cars laughing about something. jungkook moved to the side to let them pass, there were about five of them there.

the couple was just going to walk past and get in the car, it was right there. sometimes things weren't that simple.

this time they weren't going to be, because one of the guys in the group stopped drinking from his bottle of beer to narrow his eyes at them, "hey seojoon, ain't that your boyfriend?" his words were slurred, but they knew who he was talking about, and jungkook only tightened his grip on the younger.

taehyung noticed him right away, and he saw that look in his eyes and the drunk smile on his face. he's seen it too many times to forget. "taehyung baby." seojoon walked up to the both of them, completely ignoring the death glare he was receiving by the tattooed boy. "i told you to stay away from him." he tapped taehyungs nose when he said that, and jungkook took a step toward.

"don't touch him." jungkooks voice was calm, and that was almost terrifying because it completely contradicted the look in his eyes. "i'll touch him as much as i want to, jeon." seojoon said, and he raised his eyebrows with a sick grin on his face, "maybe i will and then i'll consider your debt paid."

jungkooks jaw clenched and his knuckles were white at his sides. taehyung noticed this, and he held onto the back of his shirt, "what is he talking about hyung." he asked.

seojoon turned his attention back to the boy who was half hiding behind strong shoulders and tattooed arms. that sick grin was still on his face, "you look pretty tonight taehyung, i would hate to ruin your night but you didn't listen to me, you never do." he shook his head and clicked his tongue, his buddies seemed to be waiting like dogs wanting a command — and he gave it to them, "i think i need to chat with jeon here." he said, and it was all he needed to say before two of the guys grabbed jungkook by the shoulders and shoved him down the alley.

taehyung wanted to follow, he wanted to kick them and scream and just beg seojoon to let them walk away. but the other guy grabbed him by the waist and held him against his chest, another dumb jock with muscles and no brain. he held taehyung and kept his arms at his side, following the group down the alley where they pushed jungkook down onto the ground. his nice pants ripped at the knees, bits of skin and blood decorating the dirty puddles.

"seojoon stop please!" taehyung said, seeing how one guy was ready to connect his fist with the ravenettes face — and he did, and the crack made taehyung close his eyes and squeeze out the tears that started to fall.

"i cant do that taehyung." seojoon was drunk and angry, a stupid combination that had his friends beating up the boy with tattoos that wasn't doing anything to stop them. "you didn't listen to me," punch. "i told you to stay away." another punch. his nose was split. "but you don't ever listen." punch punch punch punch.

"this is your fault." seojoon said, now gripping taehyungs chin and forcing him to look at the older male fall over with blood running down his face. his hair that was styled so nicely for tonight, it stuck to his forehead and temples with blood and water from the puddles in the alley. jungkook fell forward on his hands and knees and closed his eyes shut, he wasn't ready for the kick to his ribs that had him landing on his side.

"stop it you're hurting him!" taehyung screamed, the tears were making his vision blurry but he could still see how jungkook was doing nothing. "seojoon please, tell them to stop." he was crying and his throat hurt, he'd do anything to just make this stop. "please i'll go with you, i won't see him again i promise just stop."

seojoon shushed him, and he started to brush the boys cheeks as he cried, "you're ruining your makeup." he said.

taehyung wanted to scream, he wanted to fall down and cry and be left alone. he didn't even realize seojoon decided it was enough, and they group of guys left, dropping taehyung until his knees hit the alley floor. the pain didn't even register in his mind, all he did was crawl over to jungkook who was still laying there. "hyung," he managed to choke out through the cries, and he sat down cradling jungkooks head in his lap and tried to wipe away all the blood.

it only made a bigger mess, smearing everywhere and staining his pretty skin in red, with nothing that taehyung could do besides hold him close and listen to his own cries echo down the alley.
