Jungkook grabbed his phone and searched for a contact name 'Minho'. After finding it he typed a text and waited for a response which would be a call. Within five minutes his phone rang and the brunette felt his blood rushing in excitement.

"Hey, what's up?"

"It's been a while, Kook. How are you doing?"

"I'm good. What have you been up to that made you disappear for two months?"

"*chuckle* oh you know. Just this and that. Nothing special. I actually got my phone stolen. He he he."

"How is that a new thing? Anyways, do you want to grab a drink? I could really use company right now."

"And I could really use a drink right now. See you in an hour, okay?"

"Great. I'll get some beer."

"I'm a man of traditions. Get me soju."

"I know that. I was talking about myself. I've plenty of soju at home for you."

"You know me so well Kook. Marry me."

"Sure. Why not? *chuckle*"

Jungkook hung up and rubbed his hands devilishly.

"Let's see how you handle this, you freak?"

He looked for his black face mask and put it on before grabbing his wallet and left for the nearest store to grab a few cans and soju bottles. Of course he lied on the phone. He never bought soju in his life because he never liked its taste but Minho didn't need to know that.

After an hour, just as he said, Minho arrived and rang the door bell. Jungkook opened the door for him and greeted him with a hug before moving aside to let the older in.

"You look rotten. Were you in the middle of a good fuck?"

The older only sighed at the accusation before walking towards the kitchen.

"Same as always. Disrespectful. By the way this is why I need a drink. I don't even have time to eye fuck anyone let alone the rest. Working in a call centre makes me want to die."

Jungkook laughed slightly before grabbing a can thrown in his direction and moving towards the TV lounge and slumping on the couch.

"Should I help?"

The older laughed really hard at that and the brunette knew why. Jungkook was the last person anyone would turn to for help with their love life.

"I don't want you to fry your brain over something like that unless you name me as your beneficiary in all your documents."

The younger laughed again before taking a big sip.

"I was joking before but I just thought about someone right now. I can't say if it will work out or not but trying won't kill you."

The older put the bottle to his lips and drank a huge amount before answering.

"I'm listening."

Jungkook's eyes flashed with mirth as he made himself cool down to not sound excited.

"I worked with this model a little while ago and I heard he's single."

He was cut off when Minho suddenly sat up.

"He? A guy? How do you know I'm gay?"

The younger sighed as he shook his head and stated flatly.

"Don't you know how much you talk when you're drunk? I mean you literally asked three waiters out last time we drank at a restaurant. I could never go there again because of you."

The older rubbed his nape sheepishly when he was reminded and settled back down slowly.

"Go on."

Jungkook chuckled before sipping his beer again since he was about to play his move.

"Well, I just thought you could get to know him and you two might hit off? You never know."

Minho hummed as he thought about it for a while before asking.

"What's his name?"

Jungkook barely stopped the dangerous smirk from escaping.

"Taehyung. Kim Taehyung."

Minho looked to his side at the mention of the somewhat familiar name and scrunched his eyebrows.

"I've heard that name before. Show me a picture of him, if you have any."

The younger male was caught off guard. He didn't have any pictures of his ex-costar at the moment. The slight panic attack subsided when he thought that the guy's famous. There would be loads of picture of him on the internet. Quickly working his fingers on his phone the brunette selected one of the many available ones and showed it to his friend.

Minho grabbed the device casually but once he saw the picture the older male jumped up on his seat.

"Woah woah woah. This is Kim Taehyung? Damn. I would be lucky if he even blinks in my direction. Do you think he'll like me?"

Jungkook smirked knowing he was right about his prediction about his friend's reaction. This was going to be so much fun. He couldn't wait to see how his ex-costar would react once he will get trapped and find out he had been exposed. All his act of being loving and sweet would drop finally and Jungkook would stand smug. Even though the thought of being able to see Taehyung's defeated face made him feel the slightest bit of prick in his chest it wasn't enough to be noticed by him.

----

Taehyung laid on his bed staring at the ceiling wondering about Jungkook. He couldn't understand why was the younger being so distant? Did he have trust issues or what? Not being able to understand it even after so long he took his phone and dialed Jimin's number.

"Hello?"

The model sat up when his call was answered and folded his legs on the bed before speaking.

"Hey Jiminie. Do you have time? I want to talk."

"Yeah, I'm free. What is it?"

The concerned male took in a deep breath when he heard that because honestly he didn't know where to start.

"It's Jungkook. He's being so difficult but I can't understand why? Please tell me something that can help me."

The desperation in his voice was more than one would expect in such a situation. Granted he was frustrated about his love life but being in love with someone like Jungkook was more tiring than trying too poop during constipation.

"Um, do you.. like him, Tae?"

Taehyung realized he hadn't revealed his feelings to anyone yet but after today's event he didn't have any more energy to keep fighting alone. He badly needed an ally.

"Yeah. I do. But he doesn't seem to believe me."

He sighed in the device as he said and waited for help.

"You know I might look crazy for saying this but you're lucky. I know he's the biggest prick in the world right now to you but trust me, when he loves he would even jump in front of a train for you."

Taehyung felt slight bit relief upon hearing that but it still didn't change the fact that he was still not in the position where the younger would see him like that. He would really be grateful when that time comes but at the moment he's just waiting for the young model to at least accept him because even that seemed impossible right now, the reason of which was still unknown.

"Yeah well first he needs to see me as someone worthy before he could love me. And I don't know how I can even make that happen."

He heard a small chuckle from the other side before he was responded.

"You see it's kind of my fault for making him like this and I'm sorry for that."

The model tilted his head even though the other couldn't see it.

"What do you mean?"

There was a sigh before Jimin spoke again.

"He was in love with me a long time ago. Around the time when we were new in this field. I didn't realize it and kept joking about it thinking he thought the same way. I didn't know he was really interested in me. To him it looked like I made a fool out of him and his feelings and he shut himself out forever after that. We met only recently after such a long time and all this time I didn't know why he suddenly stopped talking to me until recently when he told me. I was an idiot for being his first love and making him feel that way. If I knew I would have done better but I wasn't and it led him to being today's Jungkook. He won't open up or accept you just because you said you like him. You'll have to prove him that you mean what you said."

Taehyung nodded like an obedient child and spoke up.

"I'll keep trying and showing that I mean it. I'm not playing around."

He stopped when he was interrupted suddenly.

"That's not what I meant. I mean he'll test you. Like he'll put you in awkward situations and when I mean awkward I mean really shitty ones. If you can remove his suspicions then tada~ but if you give him even slightest of a waver then daeng~. You lose. The reason I'm saying this is because one time he kept a dog and just to make sure that the animal was loyal to him he tested the poor thing for a month, bringing in another pet and trying to make his dog jealous, sending him away to his friend's home and visiting him after a few weeks to see if he remembers him or not and much more. Now think about it. If he does that to an animal what would he do with a human?"

Taehyung tilted his head once again and wondered what in the world was God thinking when he was putting a brain in Jungkook's head. It was then that he realized something.

"Wait. If you say he'll test me then does that mean he's willing to give me a chance?"

Jimin hummed at the other end and the model smiled brightly.

"I suppose. I mean I can't say for sure since this is the first time I have seen him being so oversensitive about someone but I met him after so long so idk if I'm right about this observation or not. Hobi can tell you better since he knows a lot about him. Ask him."

Taehyung nodded again as he made an affirmative sound and hung up after thanking the other. He took a moment to settle in all the information he was given before dialing Hoseok's number only to find something suspicious.

"Did he just call him Hobi? What the- That sneaky midget."

He laughed slightly before dialing the said male's number to get the missing pieces of information to get a complete idea of how he should proceed from here onwards.
