"Jimin hyung would really like this." Taehyung told Namjoon, bring out a loose blue sweater. "It looks like one Yoongi hyung has." Namjoon chuckled and looked at the size. It was a size bigger than what Jimin normally bought. "Oh!" Taehyung jumped excitedly and grabbed something deep within the clothing rack. "I found it!" He showed Namjoon a pink hoodie, with a tiny red heart in the corner. "We have to show it to Jimin-ah." Namjoon smiled wide, feeling the fabric of the hoodie.

They wandered back to where they last saw Jimin and Jungkook, and upon not finding them, they searched the dressing rooms. "Jungkook-ah? Jiminie?" Taehyung called out. They heard a door opening and turned around, just in time to see Jungkook slip out of a dressing room. "Yeah? Hi." Jungkook cleared his throat and walked away from the slim door, making himself known. "Come here, we have some stuff in mind for Jiminie." Taehyung grabbed his hand and held it as he took him away from the dressing rooms.

"Speaking of, where is Jimin?" Namjoon asked him as they exited. "U-uh- changing. We found some cute, skirts and stuff he wanted to try on..." Jungkook told him, stumbling after Taehyung strangely. Taehyung raised a brow at him. "Are you doing stuff with Jiminie, Kookie?" He asked, and Jungkook's cheeks turned red quickly. "W-what! No, not at all! Why would you think that- I don't even like him like that, plus I'm already dating someone and I'm not going to cheat on anyone, because I'm not that type of person." Jungkook explained to him, but Taehyung didn't believe him.

Namjoon thought of saying something smart, something that could go both ways. "Mhm..." Taehyung nodded his head in a sarcastic way. "What, do you not believe me?" Jungkook whined. "Well~" Taehyung teased, and Jungkook huffed as he gently pushed on Taehyung's shoulders, making the elder one laugh. "The boner in your pants says other wise, Kook." Namjoon chimed in to their argument, and Jungkook's face turned more red than before, if at all possible. "S-shut up~!" Jungkook pulled his shirt down and turned away, fixing his pants so hopefully it was less obvious. "Ah we're just teasing, Jungkookie-" "Well, it isn't very funny." Jungkook cut off Taehyung.

"What do you guys think?" Jimin asked as he shyly left the dressing room. "Woah," Namjoon felt as his soul had been blessed, when he looked at Jimin. He was wearing a black skirt with white stripes around it. Underneath he wore black fishnets and knee-high stockings, with a stripe of white going around the top. His top half was the same, but his shy eyes and posture made up for it.

"It's...you're...wow..." Taehyung was speechless as well, and it only made Jimin feel more shy. Did they not like it? Maybe they were quiet because they were thinking of a lie. "It looks bad, doesn't it?" Jimin whined like a puppy, then quickly turned to run away back to the changing rooms.

Taehyung grabbed his wrist before he could disappear temporarily, stopping him. Jimin turned towards him, feeling incredibly small in front of him. "No. You look stunning, Jimin." He told him, and Namjoon and Jungkook watched him lean forward and kiss Jimin on his lips. Jimin squeaked audibly in surprise, eyes widening as he froze, unsure of what to do. Taehyung didn't keep him there until he returned it, he only stayed for a moment before pulling back. "You're beautiful." Taehyung told him.

Jimin hid his blushed face in his free hand, turning his shoulder away from Taehyung out of embarrassment. "I think, you definately should get the outfit..." Taehyung's voice was deep, and from the lingerie he still was wearing underneath, it made Jimin's knees weak. Speaking of, he should probably take it off so he doesn't forget about it and accidentally try to steal it.

"Plus, Joonie hyung and I found a pink hoodie for you." Taehyung turned to Namjoon and he instantly went over and handed it to Jimin. They both watched as his glossy eyes sparkled. "T-thanks," Jimin mumbled, pulling the hoodie against his chest. It was soft, and would certainly be oversized.

He was shaking by the time he got back in the changing room alone, the door closed and locked tightly behind him. Jimin looked at himself in the mirror- despite his rough past with them. His outfit was exactly what he wanted, but Taehyung kissing him was exactly what he didn't want; being sexualized.

'Maybe it's not sexual, Jimin, he still has feelings for you is all. It was nothing.' He thought to himself as he changed out of the clothes and folded them together so they would be easier to carry. He changed back to his normal clothes and exited the changing room, holding the new clothes in his arms. "Do you want me to help you carry them?" Jungkook asked him. "We should get a cart, we're still looking for stuff, right?" Namjoon advised, glancing at Jimin for an answer.

"Yeah, why wouldn't we?" Jimin asked, as he allowed Jungkook to hold the new clothes. Taehyung shifted awkwardly, aware Jimin wasn't wanting to discuss the elephant in the room. "Okay, I'll go get a cart." Namjoon turned to leave, when Jungkook voted to help. Plus he was carrying the clothes, so they went off together, leaving Jimin and Taehyung alone.

"What else should we look for?" Taehyung asked, putting his hands in his pockets as he looked around. "I don't know..." Jimin did know what he wanted, but not quite how to say it. He walked around for a while, Taehyung following behind him when they reached a section with seasonal sweaters. He felt the soft fabrics, and the tough ones too.

"This one would look nice. It looks like one that Yoongi hyung has." Taehyung showed Jimin a blue and white sweater. It was quite fuzzy, and around the top was a deep blue and it faded down to a white. "It's cute. Do they have one in my size?" Jimin looked behind more of the hangers. "Oversized or regular?" Taehyung asked. He thought for a while, and decided on one size larger; in-between. Jimin held it against his chest and looked up at Taehyung. "What do you think?" Taehyung smiled at him, eyes sparkling. "Beautiful, as usual. Doesn't matter what you wear, everything looks good on you to be honest." He explained, and both of them laughed. "Thanks...I'll get it." Jimin draped the sweater over his forearm and looked around for another one.

"I, um...I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable a while ago...I-I just couldn't, I know you don't like me back but I just couldn't stop thinking about kissing you, and I'm really sorry-" "Don't be." Jimin interrupted Taehyung's rantings. He kept his gaze on a brown sweater, searching through sizes. "You're right, I don't love you romantically. But, it was a nice kiss. It made me feel...like you weren't lying. Like I was pretty." He continued on, and Taehyung shuffled shyly behind him.

"You are pretty. All of the time." Taehyung encouraged, and saw a little smile form on Jimin's cute face. "Yeah..." Jimin knew it, but he didn't believe it. He continued to struggle with the image of himself, and he didn't know if he would ever overcome it.

"What...do you think we could be friends with benefits?" Taehyung asked, pausing before he spoke. It had always been a thought in the very back of his head, and he was curious if it had ever crossed Jimin's mind. "Benefits is an umbrella term, Tae." Jimin giggled. "What do you mean by 'benefits'?" He asked. Taehyung didn't care what Jimin did or didn't want, because he was fine with absolutely anything at this point.

"Maybe we could, just start out small- like a couple of kisses or something. Maybe on the mouth or not... I'm fine with anything, really...but I don't know, about you." Taehyung continued to walk behind Jimin, not really paying attention to the shopping anymore. A much more interesting topic had come up now.

'That doesn't seem too bad...' Jimin thought. He could imagine kissing Taehyung, but doing other things such as holding hands or sitting in his lap were things he supposed he'd have to figure out over time. "But friends with benefits normally means you don't have feelings for each other...and you do." He explained to him. Jimin got up on his tippy toes and looked over the multiple racks of clothing. He could see Namjoon pushing Jungkook inside of a store cart, looking like a father and his two year old son.

"It doesn't really matter, does it? I'm fine with it." Taehyung referred the subject back to them, noticing Jimin getting distracted. Whether it was on purpose or not, Taehyung thought their new relationship was now a realistic idea. "Sure, kissing is fine. Just warn me if you're going to kiss me on the lips. Namjoonie and Kookie are on their way back." Jimin got back down to his normal height, and smiled at his friend. Taehyung smiled back, while his heart beat rapidly in his chest.
