*Taehyung*

When we arrived at the studio, 52 minutes late, Namjoon-hyung was already waiting for us outside of the building. His arms were folded and he threw an angry look at us. I could feel Jungkook taking hold of my left arm, bracing himself for the storm that was about to come.

But our leader stayed calm like a statue, waiting for us to approach. As we approached, we felt like in the eye of the storm, knowing that every moment the destruction could start.

When we were within earshot, he snarled : "So you have decided to finally favor us with your presence?" I could feel Jungkook press his body against my arm. I gulped. Because even though Namjoon-hyung seemed calm, I could see the fire of his anger burn in his eyes.

"Sorry hyung", I forced myself to say, "we were just...". But Namjoon interrupted me mid-sentence. This had clearly been the wrong word choice because our hyung instantly inflamed with rage. As the knuckles of his fist turned white, his face reddened. Then he spit out one of the most hurtful words I have ever heard our leader say to one of us.  "Yeah right! Tell me Tae, what exactly were you two doing back home ? Were you finally hooking up? Or are you still only doing second base?" I took in a sharp breath. Simultaneously, I could feel Jungkook tighten his grip around my arm. Hadn't I worn my lined jacket, I was sure that his fingernails would have dug right into my skin.

"Enough!"

Jin came stepping out of the building. He was wearing all black. Black baseball cap, black leather jacket, black shirt, black trousers, black shoes.  Both hands were buried inside his trouser's pockets. As he walked towards Namjoon, his back was straight, his head held high. Jin-hyung looked like a real prince, all authority. He side eyed his boyfriend, not pleased by what he had heard him say. Then his eyes wandered towards us and his stare became softer.

Jin put a hand on Joon's shoulder, massaging it softly. Their eyes met. But Jin did not flinch under his boyfriend's angry glance. Finally, Namjoon gave in. "Let's go. We want to wrap this up swiftly", Jin said, giving us no chance to argue. Namjoon had already turned on his heels and was walking inside the building, not dignifying us with another glance.

Jin was still standing at the same spot, waiting for us to follow him inside the building. "Don't take his words to heart. He is going through a lot lately", he paused. Then sighed. "He had no right to talk to you like this. Nevertheless...please, in the future respect our time schedules and we should all be alright". This being said, Jin-hyung turned around, towing us behind him. 

As we entered the building, I felt the pressure drop slowly. Finally, Jungkook lost his grip on my arm. Even so he stayed close to me. I wanted to kiss him to reassure him, but due to the recent confrontation with our leader I was not sure if it was a great idea to follow this impulse. Swiftly, I took hold of Jungkook's hand and pressed it hard, then I let go. It had been a matter of seconds, but it was enough to make Jungkook look up and smile at me.

Inside the studio, the hyungs were already in their garments, ready to shoot. Quickly we got dressed and joined them.

First we filmed Bangtan Chef were Namjoon would play the judge. Soon enough the fight had been forgotten. Even though Namjoon was often furious and short tempered, he always calmed down quickly. The fact that I did not know how to cook and that I was a real disaster in the kitchen might have helped.Because at the end of the shooting of Bangtan Chef I had made every one laugh with my non existent culinary skills.

The same day, we filmed the punishment game. I got lucky and I was chosen End-plate King, which means that I had to announce the tasks and punishments but that I could not receive them. I was lucky... this time at least. We had  a lot of fun during the shooting of this episode. The funniest punishments were probably when we had to put plastic flies on Jimin's body and we could hit them with a fly flap. Another punishment hit Namjoon-hyung. This time he had to wear pants over his pants but he could not use his hands to pull them up (all this while he was lying on the table!). We truly had a good time and at the end of it all the fighting from earlier was forgotten.

As we had wrapped up the shooting, the boys got dressed and were soon ready to head back to the dorm. But Namjoon and Jin-hyung were waiting for us in the dressing room. They seemed to have been in an heated argument, but when we approached, ready for another scolding, their expression brightened up and the tension was gone. The argument must not have been about us, for once.

"Can we talk?", Jin asked calmly. "Sure", I answered for Jungkook and me. Namjoon was just sitting next to his boyfriend, legs crossed. "About earlier", he mumbled, "I wanted to apologize to you and to Jungkook. I did not want to hurt your feelings or be a dick about you two dating". We nodded. Jin was watching Namjoon carefully. "Apology accepted", I snorted and reached out for Namjoon's hand to make the apology official. As he took my hand, no harsh feelings were left. Jungkook seemed equally relieved by this turn of events.

"It is not always easy for us to cover up your story", Jin added. "The hyungs understand the situation but Big Hit doesn't know about this and we would like to keep it that way, if possible." I perfectly understood Jin-hyung's reasoning. "When you arrive late, like today, it does not only concern you two, but all of Bangtan. It affects the mood of the whole group. You should be more careful about this. There is enough time for you to fool around and to get to know each other better, but you have to respect our schedules. We are busy, I know that, and it sucks! But if we want to succeed and make our music known, we have to work hard, not just the 5 of us. All the 7 of us have to pull on the same strings together". Jin-hyung was right. So we apologized. It was no lighthearted apology, we sincerely meant it and it should not happen again.

During the whole conversation Namjoon-hyung had kept quiet, nodding from time to time but he had not dared to interfere. He had still to learn a lot but back then he was already a great leader. He knew how to guide and when to take his responsibilities. But he also knew when to share the burden with others, when to let others do the talking.

After our short talk, the tension was gone and all four of us felt relieved.

Before they left for the dorm and Jungkook and I took off for the Han River to meet with Minjae, I asked Jin-hyung if I could talk to him for a second.

"Sure what's up?". "I was wondering if we could have a more private talk, if you know what I mean". I could see Jin lift his eyebrows, not understanding what I was hinting at. "I want to talk about you-know-what", I stuttered. "I don't know what you mean, Taehyungie, you have to be a little more straightforward, I fear". He must be kidding.

"Can we talk about... sex? ", I drawled. Jin finally understood and he formed with his lips a silent "oh" sound.

"Sure, what do you want to know?", he said while staying all cool and composed. I grabbed his arm and pulled him a little further away from Namjoon and Jungkook. I did not want them to overhear our conversation. Because even though my hyung did not seem flustered by this conversation, I felt rather embarrassed.

"I want to know how to do it...", I said. "Come on, Taehyungie, if you want to have sex then you should at least be able to talk about it freely", he growled.

Fine.

"I want to have sex with Jungkook, but I don't know how to get there", I finally admitted. "Ah, I see. Well, first of all, Taehyungie, you should know that I don't have much experience either in this field. Before Namjoon, I only hooked up with women, so... I can only share this one experience with you". I nodded hastily. One experience was better than none I guessed.

" Well, first of all, you have to find out who is top and who is bottom". "Top? Bottom?", I muttered. "Yes. Who is more dominant in your relationship? Who gives the pleasure and who receives it? If I have to put it even more straightforwardly, who will be the one that will penetrate and who will be the one that will be penetrated ?".

By now my face was all flushed and my heartbeat was racing. How could Jin-hyung stay so cool while he was talking about such an intimate topic. "Ah... i don't know. It depends, I guess... sometimes I pleasure him. Sometimes Jungkook... he pleasures me", I finally brought the words over my lips. "Hmm... this is rather unusual. Typically there is one top and one bottom. But, hey, don't mind the statistics. If you guys like to switch, that is great too", he laughed.

"Anyway. If you really want to have sex with Jungkook, keep in mind that you have to prepare before getting there. This means that you have to  get ready physically, but also mentally. You can't just rush in there. You have to take baby steps the first time or you might hurt him and scare him. Then it will take even more time. So just take it slow", Jin explained. I nodded while listening carefully.

"Also remember that there are other ways to pleasure him. You don't have to haste it and fuck. There are many funny and naughty (he winked at me as he pronounced this word) ways to pleasure someone before having sex. Tell me, Taehyungie, what have you two been up to until now?". So I told my hyung what had happened until now between the maknae and me. How we took pleasure in simple things like kisses and touches and how we jerked off to the friction of our erections.

A big smile had appeared on my hyung's face. "Taehyung, please, don't go too fast. Your love has only started blossoming. There are still so many things you can experience before even starting to have sex. Don't get me wrong, I understand the urge. I know what it feels like to want someone, but just take it slow. How about trying oral first? Maybe you will have fun with that. And since you switch, you can discover together different techniques. You will see that every body is different and needs different things. This should be a great introduction to sex". Then he explained to me in detail how I could pleasure Jungkook with my mouth and my tongue on his intimate parts.

Only listening to his words had made me imagine all these naughty things with Jungkook and by the end of our conversation, I could feel my erection push hard against my leg. There it was again. This urge. I could not wait to get home and to put into practice all that I had learned today.

Jin-hyung's gaze had followed mine and was resting on my bulge, that was clearly visible through my pants. I felt embarrassed but Jin did not seem bothered. No, he seemed rather amused by this whole situation.

"Well, well, well. As I see, my words have inspired you", he laughed hard. "Just one last thing, Taehyungie. There is having sex and making love. I think that before you have sex with our Jungkookie, you should take his virginity first by making love to him".

Jin did not even wait for an answer. He turned on his heels and walked towards Namjoon. Together they left the studio for the dorm. As he walked out of the door, I could have sworn that he had had a big smirk on his face.

When I turned around, Jungkook was already at my side, pulling at my sleeve. "What have you been talking about?". Curiosity killed the cat. "Ahhh...", I started, not knowing what to say.

"I heard you talk about top and bottom and some switching. Will you be switching lanes with Jin-hyung from now on? Will you play on the top lane and Jin on the bottom lane?". "Huh?", I did not understand a thing. "In League of legends?!", he added.

Oh, he was talking about the online game. Jin-hyung was right there was a time for everything. I should probably not speed things up too much with Jungkook. We should do this step by step.

"Ah, yes. You are right. We will switch from now on", I answered. But I was not able to hide my grin from him.

"What are you laughing about, Tae?", he asked. "Nothing, Jungkook, let's go to the Han River. Minjae will already be there waiting for us".

When we had left the building and were covered by the darkness of the alley, with the moon as only witness, I halted. I took his hands in mine and turned to face him. His face was illuminated by the white light of the moon. I leaned in and kissed him romantically.

While our lips and bodies were reaching for each other, I  could hear Jin's last words replay in my mind. He was right, there was a huge difference between having sex and making love. And suddenly, I knew exactly what I wanted to experience with Jungkook.

As our tongues intertwined and as we both let out a loud moan that was covered by the night sky and the protective gaze of the moon, one single word appeared in my mind, over and over again.

Love
