Fake Love - BTS

There's not a bone in Taehyung's body that was not a quivering mess.

Every vein, bone, organ, and muscle tissue were physically vibrating under his skin - making him tremble like a fucking chihuahua as he sat there, on Jimin's bed, with Jeongguk leaning against the wall holding onto a mean glare in his eyes.

Meanwhile Jimin is calmly adjusting the fake pink hair dye on his hair, trying to make it look as natural as possible to his once dark locks. He's not even trying to get involved to the tension that is clearly lingering in his room by his two boyfriends, but he is ready to intervene if it does get too verbal.

In which, no doubt it might get a tiny bit.

This silence was torturous, but Jeongguk refused to speak - most likely to make Taehyung as uncomfortable as possible.

In which is definitely working.

Taehyung's teeth began to chatter against each other now as he tries to avoid Jeongguk's stare, but he knows if he doesn't say anything, this is never going to end, and they will only remain in this tension for the remainder of the day.

Okay, he can do this.

He cares about this relationship; he has to open up to what he did.

So, with every anxious bone in his body, he lets out a shakily breath, "Babe..... I'm sorry."

Jeongguk's eye twitched, "What for?"

"For," Taehyung gulps thickly down his dry throat, "For seducing Taemin behind you and Jimin's back, and not stopping myself."

"Are you really sorry?"

"Yes," Taehyung this time looks at Jeongguk, nearly squirming back to his death stare, "I-I crossed the line, I know I did. I'm s-sorry for not stopping myself and for not thinking about this relationship while it happened."

Now that death stare was just not piled up with a heaving anger coiling his soul.

It was twinkling with hurt.

The true drive behind Jeongguk's rage.

Yet he fights it back so hard while he runs a hand through his now cherry red hair, gripping it tightly with eyes squeezed shut and a heavy exhale through his nose, "Taehyung.... If I'm being honest with you, I don't even want an apology from you."

Taehyung furrows his eyebrows to this, just as Jeongguk flutters his eyes open and appeared a bit calmer than earlier, "I just want an explanation as to.... Why? Why Taemin? Are you losing feelings for me and Jimin?"

Jimin to this actually perks his attention to them, well directly to Taehyung.

Taehyung didn't even have to think about it when he answered to this, "Of course not! I wouldn't be here right now if this relationship meant nothing to me."

"Then.... Just why? Why were you trying to seduce Taemin?"

"I..... I don't know!" Taehyung is panicking now, feeling his anxiety start to spike up by the pressure, "Y-You know when I become Karma, I lose control - "

"Your impulses are bolder by your adrenaline, that means whatever you feel," Jeongguk pauses, his face slowly falling, "Becomes heightened. So maybe deep down inside you probably were feeling something for him, and didn't realize it until you became Karma."

Taehyung is scratching his head now, growing frustrated, "I don't feel anything for him! You've got to believe me, I don't!"

Jimin has had enough of hearing this.

He put his brush down, turning to look at Taehyung officially with arms crossed, "Did something happen between the two of you before or during your time in Phoenix before Karma? That could've probably been a little door to those seductive urges?"

Taehyung was just about to continue to stand his ground until he did actually remember something.

Something that did have his hormones acting fucked up before reaching Phoenix, completely crossing a barrier he didn't realize the two crossed.

The gun.... To his dick.

The first time he ever felt that tension with him.

The key.

What stirred up their tension in the first place.

Uncomfortably Taehyung shifts on the bed, and Jeongguk immediately caught onto the gesture and tried with everything in him to not punch the damn wall.

After a few moments, Taehyung hang his head down in shame, "I may have provoked him with Yeosang on the ride to Phoenix. Got pissed and aimed his gun to my dick and well - Me being me, I got bold to catch him off guard - and.... We just..... H-He pressed the gun to.... The base and it got me.... Riled up really bad that I told him to stop."

Jeongguk had to go to the window to catch a breather while Jiimin slowly nods to this, not at all seeming hurt or conflicted by this, but he does seem a bit taken back that Taehyung and Taemin - out of all people - would have a moment like this.

Then again, they are emotionally driven, no doubt they would've found a similarity in each other sooner or later-

"So what now?" Jeongguk suddenly snaps, tearing his eyes to Taehyung, "Anyone who fucking provokes you once and when you become Karma, you're just going to fuck them? And we're just supposed to be okay with it!?"

The snarl had Taehyung cowering like a frightened puppy back, and this time Jimin didn't hold back in glaring at Jeongguk with his own menacing stare.

"You're one to fucking talk," Jimin snaps, making Jeongguk sneer his gaze to him, "And what about you huh? Whenever you get drunk and want Woosung to pound on your ass, we're just going to stand by and be okay with it?"

Now this caught Jeongguk red handed, obviously, since he literally fucking froze on the spot.

Even Taehyung snapped his head up in shock, clearly not expecting to hear this from Jimin to Jeongguk.

He thought Jeongguk.....

He got over that...

Jeongguk was at a loss of word, that much was obvious, but Jimin wasn't done.

"Don't even try to deny it, Woosung sent me screen shots," Jimin continues to fire back, "I get it that Taehyung did a fucked up thing, but so did you. Why didn't you text me or Taehyung? Hm? Oh right, because deep down inside you still can't get over him."

"I am over Woosung."

"Clearly," Jimin puffs, arms crossed over his chest, "Look, literally since they got back into our lives, our feelings have been fucked up, I think we can all agree to that. Not just Taehyung, but you and I too, and it's not like we can help it."

"But that's the thing," Taehyung suddenly whispers, catching their attention, "I don't have any romantic feelings for them. L-Like I said, the thought that we all probably had sex is fucking with my head."

The three now remained quiet, letting it all sink in what was said out to the table.

Until Taehyung suddenly lays back on the bed, eyes closed with lips now trembling in desperation, "What are we going to do? I don't.... I don't w-want us to break up."

"Calm down baby, we aren't breaking up," Jimin says calmly, frowning to the heavy look in Jeongguk's eyes as he stares at the floor, "But.... I have an idea."

All eyes falls to Jimin, who looks equally as unsure about the plan as he said those words, but nods to himself after a moment of thinking about it.

"You guys probably are not going to like it, but we have to keep this relationship strong - if it means that much to us," Jimin says, now raising the curiosity in their gazes, "And that means we have to trust each other, throughout the whole entire processes."
