Taehyung raised his glass, preparing his toast as everyone raised their glasses as well.

"To us going to triple dates, having triple engagements, and doing a triple wedding!"

They went silent, no one wanting to repeat the boy's words. Taehyung glared at them murderously and everyone chorused despite their reluctant voices, "To us going to triple dates, having triple engagements, and doing a triple wedding!"

Jungkook catcalled, fully supporting his boyfriend as they all laughed. A few of the patrons in the restaurant turned to look at them curiously since they were the only loud group inside.

"Are you really sure it's a good idea to celebrate your 3rd Anniversary here?" Namjoon asked, sipping on his iced tea after the atmosphere calmed down.

Jimin shrugged and smiled cheekily. The action was so cute that Yoongi couldn't help reaching out and grabbing his boyfriend's small hands. "Yeah. This place made me see the truth. If it were not for us coming here, I could've not realized sooner that I don't just want Yoongles' hot body, but also his heart."

"But you do know that waitress is still working here, right?" Jin was the one to ask this time.

"Well, yeah. Of course, I do. In fact, I saw her when we entered."

Taehyung gasped. "Wait, is that why you french-kissed Yoongi-hyung in front of everyone the moment we stepped in?"

Yoongi did remember that and now it made sense. So that was why Jimin pulled him suddenly and kissed him so passionately he almost forgot that there were people around them. It was so Jimin to prove his point in a sassy manner and become all possessive even though it had been three years and the waitress clearly did not remember him anymore or that she even tried to flirt with him before.

The only answer Taehyung received was a silence and a smug grin from Jimin who leaned his head on Yoongi's shoulder.

There was a sigh from Namjoon and when Yoongi turned, he found the man staring at him and Jimin in mixed fondness and disbelief. The man looked like he had discovered the cure for cancer, which Yoongi wouldn't really disagree because Jimin's smile might just be the cure for any grave illness.

"I never would've imagined that Yoongi would be into public display of affection. Never. Not even in my dreams or nightmares," the aforementioned boy remarked, making the rest of them laugh except for Yoongi who had a scowl on his face. Just when he thought Namjoon would say something nice.

"He isn't!" Jimin said cheerfully. "He just lets me get away with anything."

Ah, facts. Pure and unadulterated facts.

"Well, I never imagined Yoongi would find love all together so I imagine I was the most shocked." It was Jin. Yoongi didn't even want to bother asking him why so.

The rest of their orders finally came and it looked like a feast. They definitely stuck like a sore thumb in the small restaurant, but they didn't really care, neither the staff since they were giving them huge income.

Different dishes were laid out in front of them, some were Yoongi's and Jimin's favorite since it's their anniversary, and most were Taehyung's. Because he's Yoongi's brother and Jimin's best friend and they both love him to the moon and back. They even let him order for them.

Now though, everyone had a subtle confused look as more and more dishes were placed on the table. Lamb skewers, bulgogi, japchae, samgyupsal...and a bunch of potato dishes. When Yoongi said a bunch, he meant it quite literally. There's potato salad, mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes, a towering plate of fries, and-

"What the heck is that?" Jungkook asked when a plate of unfamiliar and weird-looking potato dish was laid in front of them.

Of course, Taehyung jumped in to explain. "Oh, oh! It has this really fancy name. Ha- Ha. S-Selback. Potatoes."

"Hasselback potatoes," Jin corrected him, and Taehyung nodded eagerly. "I'm surprised they have it here. It's rarely in the menus of restuarants as simple as this."

Tae nodded his head again. "Exactly! I ordered it because it sounded cool. And it has the word potato on its name."

They began to eat and their table finally became quiet. Everything tastes great as expected, and Yoongi went on in his duty of collecting the mushrooms and carrots from Jimin's plate since the younger boy disliked those. Even the carrot sticks were really good, and Yoongi found himself stuffing more and more food into his mouth.

He looked up when he heard his boyfriend giggle. "What?"

"You've got food on your face, hyung," Jimin said, reaching out to wipe the side of Yoongi's mouth with a tissue. "I would've leaned in and licked that but you might die in embarrassment."

Yoongi snorted and rolled his eyes at the cheeky boy in front of him. He went and stole a kiss just to prove that an intimate act with the younger boy in public was not something that could kill him. There were limitations, of course. OF COURSE.

"How sweet~" Taehyung commented. "Just like this Halsiback Potato."

Jin chose that moment to sigh. "It's Hasselback, Tae. And yes, it does taste really good. I'm thinking of adding it to my menu."

"You should, babe," Namjoon agreed. But Yoongi doubted that it's his own opinion. Namjoon would agree to anything Jin would say, after all.

"So how is the plan for your restaurant going, hyung?" Jimin asked, thankfully diverting any possible conversation of them kissing in public. His boyfriend was such a smartass Yoongi wanted to devour him right then and there.

The older boy excitedly jumped into the topic. "It's going great. We're almost done cleaning the whole place and hopefully, I can start decorating the cafe by next week."

"Mmm." That was good news. Yoongi was sure everything would turn out well with the business Jin and Namjoon were planning. It's Jin and Namjoon, after all. Two dangerous human beings that could dominate the world using sass and brain. He had no doubts on them.

It had been a surprise at first when the two announced they have bought the rundown bakeshop across Namjoon's apartment. The place was ridiculously deserted and barely anyone went by there, but Jin had many ideas for advertising and now a lot of people were anticipating the opening.

They had used the money they saved. Now that Namjoon already had a job as a rookie producer like Yoongi, they wouldn't have to worry about their daily needs. They didn't even have to get married anymore because they're already living a married life.

"Can I apply for a job, hyung? I need to save more for our wedding," Jungkook spoke up, his two big hopeful eyes giving Jin no room for rejection.

"Well, I don't think there would be any problem. Maybe I can hire Tae and Jimin as well."

The three cheered in happiness and started talking about the possible job roles they would be assigned to. Unsurprisingly, Jungkook was once again pushed to the side as Jimin and Taehyung decided they wanted to be the cashier-barista tandem. Poor Kook was given the role of being the delivery guy.

"I can't believe this is happening," Jungkook said with a pout. "Why not just get married to Jimin instead?"

Yoongi rolled his eyes at the moping boy. "That's ridiculous. Anyway, do you have any plans right now for the wedding? You're about to graduate and Taehyung and Jimin will finish their OJT in the dance academy by then."

"U-uh..." Jungkook replied shyly, and Yoongi gave him one of his rare understanding smiles to encourage him to continue. If anything, he'd like to take part in his brother's wedding plans. "I wanna get a decent job first. You already know I got scouted by that magazine company to be their photographer. Taehyung would also start getting standard salary when he's done with the OJT and starts his job as a Guidance Counselor. When we get to save enough money, then we'll start laying out the plans."

"But we do have ideas!" Taehyung cheerfully cut in, making Jungkook smile fondly. "The theme will be purple."

Jimin snorted. "Of course it would be. Will there be potatoes everywhere?"

At this, Taehyung turned his head to Jimin, his face indigant as he gasped in shock. "I'm offended that you even thought of asking it, Chim! Of course!"

The remark made everyone laugh and once again, people were looking at them weirdly as if it was their first time seeing a group of rowdy boys. Oh, they could judge as much as they wanted, but they would never have a smile as beautiful as Jimin's so they're all a bunch of losers that Yoongi would never care about.

"Enough about us," Jin announced while trying to recover from his laughing fit. "This day should be about our lovely couple right here. Our black and white, sweet and sour, shine and rain, happiness and misery, hot and cold-"

"Stop, we get it," Yoongi complained but he was not heard. Jin didn't stop at all.

"-sun and moon, sweet and grumpy, cute and handsome, short and short couple. Instead of us, we should be talking about them," he finished proudly. The older boy waggled his eyebrows and Yoongi immediately knew nothing good was about to come. "Does any of you have any secrets about Park Jimin and Min Yoongi that you want to spill?"

There you go.

"I do, I do!" Jungkook was the first to volunteer. Jimin did not waste time and threw hot glares to his direction. "Did you know Yoongi-hyung is Jimin's 124th relationship but is his first and only official boyfriend?"

Yoongi frowned. "You were counting?"

Jungkook nodded his head proudly. "I am, and hyung also keeps a list."

"A list?"

Well, that was new.

Surprisingly, of course, Jimin hurriedly spoke up, trying to save his reputation. "But I have thrown it away a long time ago! Jungkook was there." He then turned to the younger with a tight smile and Jungkook was quick to agree.

"Yep, the day after you two started smooching. Officially."

Just to tease the younger, Yoongi hummed, not saying anything. Jimin pouted at his reaction and sighed before putting his head on Yoongi's shoulder. "You might not be the first, but I want you to be my last, hyung."

Everyone cooed at that, making kissing faces at them while doing loud catcalls that again made the other customers turn to them. Yoongi tried glaring at them but as expected, they were unstoppable. They even started chanting the words "Yoongi and Jimin sitting on the tree, K-I-"

"Okay, okay, please stop. You guys are so embarrassing," he chastised, unable to endure all the judgmental gazes anymore. He didn't give a shit, but it's just too much when they're chanting those words too loud.

"How about Yoongi-hyung? Don't you guys have any secrets to spill?" Jungkook spoke up. It seemed to be his way of apologizing to Jimin. By attacking Yoongi instead.

He should start looking for better friends, seriously.

"Hmm," Namjoon was the one who responded. Yoongi did his best to shoot the boy his infamous death glare but Namjoon was too smart, looking away and pretending Yoongi did not exist. "I'm not really sure if Jimin already knows this, but Yoongi was obsessed with him even before they became acquaintances."

Jimin gasped, sitting up straight and looking at Namjoon with stars in his eyes. "Tell me more."

"Well, Yoongi would always complain about you."

That definitely erased the smile on the younger boy's face.

"He would always complain about how loud you are or how you're such a playboy. He complains every single day. You don't even know each other but he talks as if you are such a pain in the ass in his life. If you ask me, it's because he secretly thinks you're cute."

Jimin was now smiling again, looking very proud. He giggled before he turned to Yoongi and pinched his arm lightly. "So that was why you called me a bitch the first time we met, huh?"

"He what now?" Jin asked incerdolously.

His boyfriend giggles again and repeated what he said unnecessarily. That was when Yoongi felt a hard punch landing on his other arm. It hurt. Shit.

When he looked to his left, it was Taehyung looking guilty. He raised one questioning eyebrow.

"I'm really sorry! I made an oath to punch whoever calls Jimin that. I had to, hyung!"

Yoongi sighed.

Maybe he should really find new friends. And probably a new brother as well.


•|•|•|•|~YM~|•|•|•|•


"Hyung~" Jimin whined while pouting his lips for effect.

Yoongi stood on his ground and shook his head. He would not let Jimin persuade him into this again. Nope. Been there, done that, and it was embarrassing as heck. As much as he loved Jimin, he also loved his dignity.

"It's not that hard. And you've done it once!"

"Which is exactly why I'm not doing it again. Once was enough, Park Jimin."

Jimin pouted again and stomped his feet. "But how would our third anniversary be meaningful if you will not bless it with a rare aegyo? The guys are already preparing for a wild night and the living room has been set up for anything that might happen when Kook gets drunk. All that's left is for you to do an aegyo to start off the fun!"

"Jimin, no."

"Hyung, this is for our third anniversary."

Ugh. "Stop using the anniversary card, please."

"Hyung~" Jimin tried again. "Just for your little mochi?"

Nope.

"But hyung, it's our third anniversary," the younger boy tried to reason again. This was not good. Yes, it was their third anniversary. And yes, he would do everything to make Jimin happy.

He remained silent and Jimin pleaded again. "I'm not gonna shut up unless you say yes."

And that was when Yoongi saw his escape. In order for him to win and save what was left to his human self, he must make Jimin shut up. Ah, this was Yoongi's ultimate talent, his mission, the reason why he's born.

Jimin was now pouting at Yoongi's lack of response. "I'm seriousy not shutting up if-"

"I'll make you do so."

"Wha-" And Yoongi didn't let him finish as he leaned in and left a quick but sloppy kiss on the younger boy's plump lips. Jimin glared at Yoongi, but before he could open his mouth and complain, Yoongi placed another kiss on his lips.

Chuckling and feeling like he was having the time of his life, Yoongi continued to place little kisses on Jimin's lips until the younger resigned himself to his fate and started doing the same to Yoongi as well. They took turns in pecking each other, sweet kisses that were feather light but all too consuming.

"Finally got you to shut up," Yoongi whispered before kissing Jimin. He could feel the boy smiling by the touch of their lips.

"Mmm, you're so cruel," Jimin whispered back, his teeth grazing a little bit on the older boy's bottom lip.

Yoongi kissed him back, feeling nothing but pure bliss. "Takes one to know one, babe."

Yoongi was about to kiss his boyfriend again when someone shouted from behind them.

"Whoa, it's still as disgusting as ever!"

The two broke apart, laughing as they did because they knew their friends caught them in the act. It had happened so many times that they're barely embarrassed anymore.

Except for that one time Jungkook saw them both naked.

Nope, that definitely should not happen again.

"I can't believe this!" came Seokjin's voice as he walked towards them. "We left you two to prepare and all you did was smooching. I understand it's your anniversary but I'm not taking any of this shit. Yoongi, where are the plates and cups? Park Jimin, the movie!"

Oops.

"Calm down, hyung. We'll finish it in no time," Jimin replied with an eyesmile that even Jin couldn't resist. So, Jin just sighed and rolled his eyes before gathering the rest of them and barking out orders so that they could start Taehyung's highly requested 'wild night' that's composed of alcohol, games, and watching Marvel movies. He also begged for them to watch Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and no one bothered to ask nor to refuse.

Poking Jimin's nose teasingly, Yoongi went to the kitchen to get whatever they'd be needing. Jimin also went on his way to grab the movies.

When Yoongi entered the kitchen, he almost screamed in shock when he saw a smiling boy sitting on top of the counter, his feet dangling as he laughed at Yoongi's reaction.

"You never did change, child."

"Aish! And neither did you, Hoseok. You kept on giving me heart attacks."

There was a moment of silence as both of them stared at each other. It's been a long time since he last saw the boy. When he and Jimin got together, he had bid farewell to Yoongi, saying that his job was done. He then disappeared in a trail of green sparkly dust, but this time, the dust did not disappear unlike how they used to. Yoongi thought it was the Hoseok's way to leave something behind. Like a remembrance, maybe? Until now, Yoongi still kept those green sparkling dust in his room, sealed inside a small glass container.

If he would be honest, he had missed this weird leprechaun.

"I missed you, too!" Hoseok suddenly shouted, and a moment after, he appeared in front of Yoongi and hugged him tightly.

Yoongi pretended to be annoyed. "Ugh, please don't tell me your tears are green, too."

"In fact, they are."

"What the heck man."

Hoseok laughed loudly and patted Yoongi at the back, smiling widely as he did so. "Would you want to keep my green tears as well?"

"Ugh." Damn it, Yoongi almost forgot the boy could read minds.

"Just kidding. My tears aren't green."

He received an eyeroll from Yoongi for that. He couldn't believe he was talking to Hoseok again after such a long time. It was like seeing a friend again after they left to live overseas.

"So what brings your green ass here?"

"Well, I decided to check on you and your soulmate. You should be thankful, I've got lots of other things to do, you know."

"Yeah, I'm sure you've some unfortunate stranger to annoy again."

"Whatever, Yoongi. So, any juicy stories about life with the cute Park Jimin?" Hoseok asked as he leaned on the counter where he was previously propped on. "I know it's your anniversary."

"Psh, what else is there to say? You already know everything, you punk."

The boy with the green suit nodded. "You're right. But how about you? How is Jimin? How is life with Jimin? How is falling in love with Jimin?"

Yoongi wanted to point out that Hoseok probably already knew about that and that he could read minds anyway. But for some reason, he felt the urge to just answer the question. To talk to his friend. To talk about the boy he loved the most.

"It's...great."

Hoseok raised an eyebrow, willing Yoongi to go on.

"Jimin is great. Like, really great. I can stare at him all day long and I wouldn't get enough. Everything about him is perfect. His smile, his laugh, his voice, his talents, his personality, his quirks, his hot body that-"

"Don't need the details, child."

"Yeah well, the point is, loving Jimin is the best thing that ever happened to me and I can't remember what life was like before without him."

Hoseok cooed, and Yoongi let him. This boy had already seen the worst, even things that only Taehyung had the chance to see. He had seen Yoongi cry over Jimin, for shit's sake. Hoseok had witnessed every possible embarrassing and cringy strand Yoongi had in his DNA, so he couldn't really feel any awkwardness telling Hobi the thoughts he always had about Jimin.

"Aww~ Look at you using those cliche lines in romcom dramas! What happened to the real Min Yoongi?" And then with waggling eyes that made Yoongi want to regret what he just said, Hoseok flashed a predatory grin. "Oh, I get it now. I can really see that Park Jimin is so hot. So hot that he was able to thaw your ice cold heart."

Oh, come on. "Yah, that's already passed what's acceptable in this friendship, you jerk!" Yoongi complained, but Hoseok only laughed at him. The boy's laugh was so contagious that Yoongi was having a hard time keeping his frown.

Damn it, he had missed this boy and he didn't know when he'd be able to see him again. Throwing his swag out the window, Yoongi began chuckling as well. Soon, they were both laughing loudly and clutching their stomachs as they doubled over. It felt good to have fun again with a friend he had not seen after such a long time.

Finally calming down, Hoseok patted Yoongi on the shoulder and flashed his wide smile that Yoongi was now used to. "But seriously, I'm really happy for you. You and your soulmate deserve each other. You're one of the best cases I had, Yoongi. Doing this gave me both amusement and a new friend."

"Mmm," was the only reply Yoongi could give. He was also happy to have met Hoseok, even though everything still seemed surreal and no one would ever believe in him if he'd try to tell a soul. He just smiled back at Hoseok without words. He knew the boy could read his mind, after all.

"I have to go now, Yoongi. But do know that I'll always watch over you two from the stars. Wherever, whenever. In your workplace, in your room, in the bathroom while you two shower together..."

"Okay, okay. Stop being creepy. Aish, you never really changed, did you?"

The two stood in silence while smiling. It felt sad having to say goodbye again, but somehow, Yoongi was relieved to know that Hoseok would always be there even though he couldn't see him. He was not one to get sentimental, but maybe he could give exceptions, especially to a magical leprechaun. 

Hoseok opened his arms, inviting Yoongi into a hug. He smiled widely at him and Yoongi returned it this time. He stepped forward and gave the other boy a tight embrace. 

"Yoongi, I'm not a leprechaun," the other boy whispered and Yoongi laughed.

He was about to playfully smack the boy in the head when they heard a surprised gasp from behind them. They both froze, especially Hoseok who was currently facing the doorway as they hugged. Yoongi stepped back and turned, only to see a gaping Namjoon. Behind the boy, the others were standing, equally scandalized.

"Shit, you were really saying the truth," Namjoon whispered as his eyes grazed over Hoseok's form and the floating green glitters around him. 

Yoongi whipped his head fast to turn to Hoseok, scowling when he heard a crunching sound that probably meant he had broken his neck. He just hoped it was not the case. Hoseok's eyes were wide and unblinking. 

After a few seconds of no one speaking or moving, Hoseok slowly smiled and shrugged. "Looks like I forgot to turn on my cloaking device. As much as I'd love to stay and chat, I need to go now. Nice meeting ya'll!" With that, he waved cheerfully, before snapping his fingers and disappearing.

"What the heck was that...?" Jungkook was the first one to speak. All of them stared at the green sparkly dust that Hoseok left behind. Just like the last time, it did not disappear even though it should have.

Yoongi was not sure if he had ever encountered a situation more complicated than what he's currently in. He looked at his friends and contemplated what to do. He sighed.

"Why are you all even here?"

Namjoon was the one who answered. "You were taking so long so I decided to check if you're still alive."

"We heard Namjoon gasp so we all followed," Jin added. "I really thought the day had finally come in which you fell asleep randomly, slipped, and lost consciousness. I was definitely not expecting to see that."

"Should we be worried, hyung?" Jimin asked, his face frowning with so much worry. That was enough to make Yoongi decide. 

He heaved another deep sigh. "Okay, so I'm about to tell you a  secret that shouldn't be exposed. I can trust you guys on this, right?" They all nodded in unison like a bunch of kids in daycare. 

"So," Yoongi began, not being able to believe that they would be spending their third anniversary like this. "The thing we know about stars might not be the truth after all..."


•|•|•|•|~YM~|•|•|•|•


It was a couple of years after that Yoongi realized Hoseok did that on purpose. 

So that he would stop worrying that nobody will believe him. 

===========
FIN

There you go!!! The supposed One-Shot turned into Book is done and finished. I hope you enjoyed the short ride. I do apologize if it seems too short or the ending is hurried, but I really wrote it this way because, well, it was a Oneshot after all.

Thank you so much for reading guys! I love you all and I hope there were no too boring or too cringey part. There will be ONE MORE chapter after this so please look out for that. YEY BONUS!

I'm still trying to figure out how to go around with my new fic and I'd have to deal with my aching wisdom tooth so it might take 2-3 weeks for the new book to be published.

Till then!

Always smile and spread love! God bless~
