"Why haven't you accepted my friend request on Instagram?" Taehyung inquires as soon as he and Jin were in his kitchen, and he started putting together a burger for Jin. Jin cringed as he watched him add pickles to his burger, he hates pickles.

"I don't spend much time on Instagram. It's useless following me." Jin responded as he didn't need him seeing how weird he could be.

"Here you go, and why don't you let me be the judge of that. Accept my request."

Jin didn't respond to Taehyung; instead, he took the plate with the burger from his hand and removed the pickles before taking a bite.

Taehyung watched Jin's mouth as he bites into the burger and how he licked his lips afterward. This caused him to shift in his seat a bit, he had always been attracted to Jin's lips but never had he had the chance to stare at them so intently. He could watch Jin eat all day long; it was one of his favorite thing to do while they were at school in the cafeteria.

"This is good. Mrs. Choi makes good burgers. Reminds me of my mom's own."

"Please call her Myeong. Next time you should have your mom makes us some then." Taehyung said while licking his lips. Jin didn't notice how Taehyung was looking at him because he was too invested in eating his burger and wondering if he would come off as greedy if he asked for another. He also didn't want to get caught up in eating food that he forgets his primary reason for being there.

"hi," Jin was surprised by a little voice that appeared beside him. When he looked down, he saw a baby boy holding onto the chair next to him, looking up at him and smiling.

"MOM! Can you please come and get Beomgyu!" Taehyung screamed out to his mom as soon as he saw his brother appears.

"Oh my gosh, you are so cute, what's your name? Taehyung, is this your brother?" Jin wipes his hand on the napkin before him and stoops down to pick up Beomgyu in his arms. Beomgyu's smile got more full, and he giggled.

Taehyung was glaring at his baby brother, he did not like the way he was trying to take Jin away from him. He was doing to Jin precisely what he had done with his parents.

"Jin, can you please put him down. My mom doesn't like it when strangers touch him, and you are here to study with me, not babysit or play with him."

Jin was shocked by Taehyung's tone; he quickly put Beomgyu down and apologized. "I am so sorry. I don't know what got into me."

"Neither do I. Now, let's go." He grabbed Jin by the hand and pulled him out of the kitchen.

"Is it okay to leave him by himself in the kitchen?" Jin asked after hearing Beomgyu cry.

"Mom will get him, he will survive," Taehyung said, annoyed as he replayed in his head how Jin gushed over his little brother as if he was the only cute one in the house.

***********

"Okay, it's getting late. I should go home now. I think we made a lot of progress. I know what I need to do on my end-" Jin stopped talking when Taehyung snaps a picture of him. "Why did you do that?" he asked as his heart rate picked up.

"You look handsome," Taehyung said and put his phone away. "I agree with you, we made a lot of progress today. I also believe we will make a great team. Now, if you are ready, I will take you home."

"N-no I-I am fine. I don't live too far off from here, I can easily be home in ten minutes." Jin was a stuttering mess as he couldn't believe that his crush, Kim Taehyung, had told him he looked handsome as if it was nothing. He needed to hurry home, so he could scream into his pillow. He knew he had to have been dreaming, no way he had heard it correctly.

"I didn't ask where you live. I said if you are ready, I will take you home unless you intend to spend the night here?" Taehyung got up from the chair he was sitting in and walked over to Jin. Jin jumps out of his seat, grabbing his bag.

"I-I am ready."

"You are cute. Now, let's go." Taehyung said, taking Jin's hand into his own and leading them out of his house.

As they walked to Jin's house, Jin had a hard time focusing as Taehyung held onto his hand, he didn't understand why he was doing that. "Umm, Taehyung, can you let go of my hand?"

"Why?" Taehyung questioned while he tightens his grip onto Seokjin's hand.

"It just seems weird that you are walking me home and holding my hand."

"Does it? You never had someone hold your hand before?" Taehyung looked at Jin with curiosity in his eyes.

"N-no, only my parents."

"Good, let's keep it that way," Taehyung said with a smile and continued holding Jin's hand as he walked him home.

Jin had a lot of feelings within his body, the entire day had been a weird one for him. He didn't understand Taehyung, but no matter what Taehyung had been doing, it did not stop Jin from liking him.

"This is my home." Jin stopped in front of his gate and pulled his hand away from Taehyung's.

"You don't live very far from me."

"I tried telling you."

"I see. Anyway, go on inside. I will wait until you are in before I leave." Taehyung turned Jin towards his gate and gave him a push towards it.

Jin covered the keypad and entered his code, quickly opening his gate and closing it. Which causes Taehyung to smile internally. "Bye, Taehyung." Jin waves at Taehyung.

"Bye, Seokjin, answer your phone," Taehyung said, but Jin didn't hear the last part until he got into his house, and his phone starts ringing.
