"So he's changing who he is entirely to fit the idea of a guy who doesn't like him back," Jin said.

"Don't say it like that! But yes. It's so stupid, but also, I'm excited. We going Queer Eye up in here." Jimin said.

"I'm right fucking here!" Taehyung snapped, and Jimin and Jin looked at him. The three were in the mall. Jimin heard Taehyung's request and instantly dialed Jin to come help. "And I'm not changing for Jungkook. I'm changing for myself. It'll make me more confident."

"What about loving yourself and all that bullshit?" Jin asked. Taehyung sighed, fists bunching up.

"Look, no one takes me seriously at this place, okay? I'm so strong, but everyone still undermines me. It's because I'm not confident in myself! Yoongi looks like a fucking dumpling but-but he's really confident, so everyone respects him. I just ant people to respect me." Taehyung said.

"Yes, that, and you want Jungkook to like you back."

"Shut up, Jimin! Maybe! What's it to you! You look like chewed bubblegum." Taehyung snapped and then widened his eyes. "S-sorry. That was too much."

"She's bold." Jin grinned. "Okay, fine. We'll help. Plus, this is going to be a lot of fun. I've always wanted to give some sad frumpy girl a makeover." Jin said, and then put his hands on Taehyung's shoulders. "Not that you're sad or frumpy."

Jin looked at Taehyung's outfit. He was in a big checkered sweater and loose jeans. "Well. You're not sad. Let's keep it at that."

"You're mean," Taehyung said. "Yeah but I get more dick than you," Jin said, and then twirled. Jimin rolled his eyes.

"Let's start with the tattoo parlor!" Jimin grinned. Taehyung's eyes widened. "No! I don't want a tattoo!" Taehyung cried, but Jimin grabbed him and dragged him to the nearest tattoo parlor.

The mall was giant, full of people walking around on their day off, probably wanting to shop, watch a movie, or enjoy meals. Shops of famous brands lined the walls, and Taehyung felt totally out of place. He didn't have enough money to get anything from those kinds of places. He always bought simple clothes from simple shops. But people in this school, they wore famous brands, high fashion, couture. They looked good. Everyone looked like they were pulled out of a fashion magazine.

Jimin and Jin too. Jimin with his fluffy pink hair, pretty big eyes, his lips always glossy, cheeks always bright. He always wore these big sweaters that fit him perfectly, and tight pants which accentuated his thighs. And then there was Jin, with his dark hair, which was sometimes swept back- making him look really handsome. He wore clothes which made him seem like the son of a CEO or some sort of pimp.

But Taehyung realized quickly, that it wasn't just their clothes. It was them. Jimin's big smiles and soft way of talking made him prettier. Jin's confident smirk and almost cocky way of presenting himself made him more handsome. It wasn't just their clothes, it was the way they acted.

"Stop," Taehyung said, out of breath, when they'd reached the tattoo parlor. "Jimin, I don't want a tattoo. I am going to hit you."

"Don't," Jimin said. "It's not for a tattoo. It's for something else." Jimin said, and then pushed him towards a seat and sat him down. Jin followed. Jimin then called one of the guys working there, must've known him.

"Taehyung, step one to becoming cooler- you're going to pierce your ears," Jimin said, clapping his hands together.

Taehyung got up from his seat and ran out of the shop.

Jin ran out after him and grabbed him from the back and dragged him back to the store. Taehyung groaned. "Why??" Taehyung asked, getting sat down on the seat again.

"You'll look so cool, Tae! Look, believe me, I know fashion. I am fashion. I watch Project Runway. I'm better at this than anyone is." Jimin said, hand against his chest. "You, with earrings? That's something."

"I don't know. I mean, earrings?? I've never been that kind of guy! Jin, maybe. I can't pull that kind of stuff off. I'm a sad frumpy girl." Taehyung cried. Jin put his hands on his shoulders.

"Look- currently, you look like a kpop star pre-debut," Jin said. Taehyung frowned. "I don't know what that means."

"Ugly." The cashier said, typing away at his laptop behind the desk. Taehyung frowned. "Fuck you I'm not ugly."

"You're not! You're actually really attractive. But no one knows that. You hide behind all this stuff. Now pierce your ears." Jimin said. Taehyung let out a big sigh.

"Fine!" Taehyung grumbled, and Jimin squealed in joy. Jin grinned. "Great! First your ears, then your nipples-"

Taehyung ran out of the store again. Jin dragged him back, and then explained he was joking. Taehyung got sat down on the seat again. And then he got his ears pierced.

"Fuck!" Taehyung let out as the piercer gun needle went into his earlobe. Jimin and Jin were clapping and cheering him along, telling him he was fine, and making sure he was comfortable. Then he got his other ear pierced, and cursed again.

After that (Jin paid) they took Taehyung to a clothes shop. Taehyung gasped and took out a t-shirt which had turtles on it, smiling.

"It's like you want people to know you're a virgin," Jin said. Taehyung shook his head, shoulders falling. Jimin hit Jin in the back.

"Taehyung, get the turtles shirt in black," Jimin said. "We're not changing Taehyung completely. We're just... elevating him." Jimin said decidely.

"Hot nerd," Jin said. "Intelligent playboy. Fuckboy with brain cells. Educated insta baddie. I feel like I'm describing Namjoon." Jin trailed, and Jimin giggled.

Taehyung groaned. "Guys, I don't have that kind of money for good clothes," Taehyung mumbled. Jimin looked at him. "Don't worry, Tae. This store has cheap stuff which is actually good."

"We love a good deal," Jin said, looking at the clothes. Taehyung nodded, looking around.

Jin and Jimin picked out lots of shirts, t-shirts, jeans, jackets, and other accessories. Stuff that Taehyung would never ever wear.

He tried some of the clothes. He didn't know how he felt about them, it made him look... different. But good? So he bought a lot of them anyway, and Jin and Jimin told him how to tie the clothes together properly and make them look good.

They walked out of the store and Jimin began talking excitedly about going to buy shoes. Jin said he wanted food. The three agreed that food was more important, and walked to the nearest restaurant. While walking there, Taehyung got a text from Jungkook.

Jungkook
where are you?

Taehyung
Hey. I'm at the mall with Jin and Jimin.

Jungkook
you should've told me. i was waiting for you to get me my lunch.

Taehyung
I'm sorry. I didn't know you wanted me to get it.

Jungkook
u always get me food i thought i didnt know it needed to be said. whatever, get me something from the mall.

"Who are you texting?" Jin asked. Taehyung looked up from his phone. Jimin had gone to place their order. "Jungkook. He was just asking if-"

Jin looked at his phone, reading the texts. "Hm. Okay, I'll tell you what to text him." Jin said. Taehyung looked at him. "Why? I know how to text-"

"I know you do, Tae. But let me tell you what to say. Trust me, you'll see why." Jin said. Taehyung nodded, looking back at his phone.

Taehyung
I'm busy.

Jungkook
dinner, then?

Taehyung
I'm not your servant, Jungkook. Get it yourself.

Taehyung hesitated. "That's kind of rude..." Taehyung said. Jin patted his back. "Don't worry about it."

Jungkook
um, ok. i dont think youre my servant or something. i jus thought u liked getting me food or something,,

Taehyung
Ok

"See. Now he won't be rude to you anymore!" Jin said. Taehyung nodded, giving Jin an unsure smile. "I'll go help Jimin get the food. Wait here." Jin said, and then walked away. The moment he did, Taehyung opened up the messaging app again.

Taehyung
Hey. I don't know where that came from. I'll get you food from the mall. What do you want? I'll drop it off at your apartment.

Jungkook
its okay you dont have to. i ordered something dw

Taehyung
I'm sorry. Don't be mad at me. I'll get you dessert or something. Cookies? Do you want that? Or maybe I'll get you some cupcakes.

Jungkook
cupcakes sound nice :)

Jin and Jimin came back with a bucket of fried chicken and three glasses of soda. Jimin was practically dancing with hunger. Taehyung quickly put his phone away and smiled at them gratefully.

The three chowed down all the fried chicken and drank all the soda and then sighed in gratification. Fried chicken could single-handedly save the world.

"Did you guys see the news?" Jin asked, and Jimin looked at him, shaking his head no.

"Is it about that villain Miss Muscle defeated? I saw that! Super easy for her, I bet. Did you see her new suit?" Taehyung rambled. "She looks beautiful."

"She always does. I mean, I'm gay- everyone is- but damn, do I have a crush on her. She just poked the villain, and he went flying! So powerful." Jimin said, nodding.

"That was really cool- but I was talking about something else. It's this Villain who arose in Busan, and they're making a group or something. They say they want to attack anyone who stands for righteousness." Jin mumbled, rolling his eyes.

"There's always Villains who say that kind of stuff." Taehyung sighed.

"This one's different, though. The leader of the group, he has the power of mind control." Jin said softly.

"M-mind control?" Jimin let out, eyes widening. Mind control was one of the rarest, and one of the deadliest traits in humanity. Individuals with that trait almost always use it to take advantage of others and control others' traits.

"Yep. The news article said that these Villains hate schools like ours, and they want to put an end to Miss Muscle."

"They won't be able to! No one's ever defeated her. She's too strong." Taehyung said. Jin and Jimin nodded, but the three felt nervous.

After lunch, they left. On the way to someplace Jimin was leading the two to, Taehyung stopped at the cupcake shop. He looked at all the variety of cupcakes and saw one with white swirls and little stars on it. It reminded him of Jungkook. Taehyung ordered six cupcakes.

"Why're you getting cupcakes?" Jin asked. Taehyung shrugged. "For myself."

Jimin walked up to him. "You're getting 6 cupcakes for yourself?"

"We can share..." Taehyung trailed. Jin rose his eyebrow. "You ordered six pretty cupcakes for yourself, huh?" Jin asked. Taehyung nodded.

Jimin laughed. "Ha! Look at Jungkook's Instagram story. He just put a picture which says 'can't wait for cupcakes', Taehyung- you're fucking helpless."

Taehyung gulped, eyes wide. "Why would Jungkook put that on his story??" Taehyung cried. Jin frowned. "Because Instagram stories are our journals which we put our entire life's worth into! Now if you buy those fucking cupcakes, I'm going to hit you."

Taehyung whined. "Guys!! You already didn't let me get him lunch! He had to order it. I don't want him to be mad at me-"

"Oh boo fucking hoo. He'll manage. You're not getting him cupcakes. Let's go." Jimin snapped, grabbing Taehyung's arm and dragging him away.

Taehyung tsked, getting dragged down the mall- until they reached a shop. Jimin pushed Taehyung in. It was a hair salon.

"What? What's wrong with my hair?" Taehyung asked. Jin and Jimin sighed. "Nothing. But are you really queer if you've never had colored hair??" Jin asked.

Taehyung was silent for a few seconds. "That's a no. Now sit down. Jimin and I are going to talk to the hair stylist." Jin said, and Taehyung nodded in defeat, sitting down on his chair.

A change was... good, he supposes. He's never been one to change himself a lot. But maybe this could show people a different side to himself? Yeah? Yeah. This was good. This was..... good.

Hopefully.

Ren

whatever ✌️ you'll come begging for my dick in no time anyway lmaooo

Jungkook turned his phone off and kept it beside him, taking a deep breath. He looked around and saw Hoseok, Namjoon, and Jin sitting around. They were in the lounge, talking. Jungkook picked on his nails, not knowing what they were talking about.

"It was so funny, dude. Remember that random guy who was cycling around the trees?? He kept screaming 'Pool noodles' over and over," Namjoon said while giggling.

"Jimin thought he was bigfoot! And then during our hike, he came out of nowhere and scared the shit out of us," Hoseok said, and they all laughed.

"When was this?" Jungkook asked, leaning forward, trying to be part of the conversation.

"That camping trip we went to before school ended last year, remember?" Hoseok said. Jungkook stilled.

"Y-you guys went on a camping trip?" Jungkook let out in a small voice. Hoseok suddenly realized what he said, and opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out.

"It was- um- you were busy, I think," Jin said quickly, and Jungkook looked down, nodding. Now he remembers. Right before the term ended before summer vacation, the boys kept talking within themselves. They didn't contact him for a week. Jungkook never knew why.

That was also around the time they kind of kicked him out of the friend group.

They got quiet. Namjoon cleared his throat. "Um- anyways! I heard the school might be taking us on a winter snow trip this year." Namjoon said, changing the topic.

Jungkook took his phone out while the boys talked. It was something he did often. Half the time there was nothing to look at on his phone, but he looked at it anyway so he wouldn't seem too out of place. Jungkook opened his messaging app and scrolled through the unread messages. All of them were guys asking for nudes or sending unsolicited dick pics.

The only- only person who had a conversation with him which wasn't about sex was Taehyung. Jungkook clicked on his profile, biting his bottom lip.

Jungkookheyyyy where are you! come to the lounge

Jungkook didn't get an immediate response and furrowed his brows to himself. He always got an instant response from Taehyung. Jungkook ignored it and put his phone down, looking at the boys. Jimin rushed into the lounge.

"Hi guys," Jimin said, and then leaned down and whispered something into Jin's ear. Jin nodded excitedly. Jimin sat down on one of the free couches, grinning. "What's up?" Jimin asked.

"We were talking about how big Hoseok's head is."

"What the fuck no we weren't. Fuck you Namjoon."

"We were discussing the winter trip that might happen later," Jin said with a chuckle. Jimin gasped. "Ooh! Coach told me about that. He said the villas we'll be staying in will be huge, apparently! Yeah, six people a room! We have to room together," Jimin said, grinning.

"We- we can request for an extra person to be in our room, for Jungkook," Jin said. Jungkook smiled bitterly at Jin. He'd already gotten replaced by Taehyung, great.

"I probably won't go," Jungkook said. Hoseok frowned at him, asking why. Jungkook shrugged. "I never go to these kinds of things anyway."

"I get it. The teachers will get really mad at you if you keep having sex all the time, so it makes sense not to." Jimin said, giving him a small smile. Jungkook looked at Jimin for a few seconds in disbelief but then nodded curtly.

"Jimin," Jin snapped softly, telling him to shut the fuck up. Jimin looked at him in confusion, as if not knowing what he did wrong. Jungkook took a deep breath.

"I-I'm going to go- um-" Jungkook began, and Jin shook his head. "No no! Stay for a bit more, Kookie. Please."

Jungkook looked confused, but nodded nonetheless, staying seated. The boys talked about mindless things for a few moments, and then Jimin cleared his throat. "So! What do you guys think of Taehyung?" Jimin asked clearly.

Namjoon frowned. "Like... a general opinion? He's cool, I guess." Namjoon chuckled.

"He's nice. A little weird, but nice." Hoseok concluded. The door opened, and Yoongi walked into the lounge, yawning to himself.

"What're you guys talking about?" Yoongi asked, sandwiching himself with Jin. Jin ruffled his hair, to which Yoongi grumbled in annoyance and smacked his hand off.

"Taehyung," Jin said. Yoongi snickered. "What'd the loser do this time?"

"He's a little lame, but he's sweet," Jungkook said, picking on his nails. "I don't know if I have an opinion on him. I mean, there's not much to think about. He's nice and smart." Jungkook said. Jimin hummed.

"Taehyung thinks you're like a supermodel, Kook," Hoseok said. Jungkook giggled. "Yeah? Well, everyone does-"

The door of the lounge opened slowly. Jungkook still picked on his nails. He suddenly heard a gasp.

"W-what the fuck?" Namjoon let out.

"Oh my god." Jimin let out, smiling a little.

"Hey guys," Taehyung's deep voice came, and Jungkook looked up. "What's up?"

Jungkook's eyes bulged out.

Taehyung stood by the doorway, and what- oh my fucking god, he looked so fucking hot. He wasn't wearing his glasses, and his skin looked tan, sun-kissed. He wore a simple black t-shirt, and a white jacket on top, along with skinny black jeans with rips on them. His fingers were full of rings, and his ears had black earrings on, and his neck was clad with a gold chain. His shoulders looked wider than usual, and he himself looked taller than usual. His jaw was more accentuated, eyes darker, eyebrows on display because he was wearing a bandana.

Also, his hair was red.

Red, swept back, tied back by a bandana, and he had an undercut. A fucking undercut. Jungkook mouth fell open.

"Tae- Taehyung?" Hoseok let out in a squeaky voice. Taehyung looked over at him, humming.

"Yeah? What, is something wrong?" Taehyung asked, walking over to the couches. Jungkook suddenly noticed how deep his voice was, almost a little raspy.

Jin was grinning, and so was Jimin. Both looked very proud of what they'd done. Yoongi, who was practically asleep on Jin's shoulder, opened his eyes to look at Taehyung- and ten froze.

"Oh," Yoongi let out, breathless. He eyed Taehyung from his shoes up to his hair, and then gulped dryly. "The fuck happened to you?" Yoongi mumbled, blinking his eyes to make sure they weren't deceiving him.

"Nothing," Taehyung said, sitting down on the couch, legs sprawled, arms placed on the head of the couch. He tipped his head back. "Just wanted to dye my hair and stuff." Taehyung gruffed.

Taehyung moved his eyes to Jungkook, who's eyes were big and round, cheeks pink. He never- he'd never realised how fucking hot Taehyung was. Suddenly the notion that Taehyung did indeed have a huge dick made Jungkook's insides crawl.

Taehyung blinked his eyes carelessly at Jungkook. "You okay, Kook? Look like you've seen a ghost," Taehyung snickered.

"Y-yeah. M'fine. Fine. Great." Jungkook said, voice soft. He couldn't take his eyes off Taehyung.

"Right. Well, are you guys going to get lunch? I'm hungry as fuck," Taehyung said, sounding more brash than usual.

"Yeah. Um- we are." Namjoon said, looking at Taehyung with big eyes. Jungkook suddenly got up from the couch, looking at Taehyung.

"I-I'm gonna- um- go o-out for a second," Jungkook said hastily, and then walked out of the lounge.

The moment he left, Taehyung bunched up, putting his hands on his eyes. "M-my contacts are itchy." Taehyung whined.

"Oh thank god, I thought he changed completely." Yoongi sighed in relief, hands against his chest.

"Taehyung! You're doing well! Did you see Jungkook? He looked so bothered by just your appearance!!" Jin said, and then patted his back.

"Just Jungkook?? Are you kidding? Taehyung, you look so fucking hot, dude. I'd totally fuck you if it wasn't for..... wait a minute- there's nothing holding me back! I'm going to fuck you." Hoseok said.

"Relax, Hoseok," Jimin said, and then looked at Taehyung. "Tae, you look really really good," Jimin said. Taehyung stood up from his seat.

"Yeah? Think I have a shot with Kookie?" Taehyung asked, hands on his belt.

"If he has eyes, yeah," Namjoon said. Taehyung smirked. "Great. That's totally fucking rad, bro. That's epic, dude. That's- that's fuckin' sick, dawg. That's-"

"Stop." Yoongi insisted. "Yeah, sorry. I'm gonna go find him. Bye." Taehyung said, and then walked out of the lounge. He opened the door and saw Jungkook about to enter it. Jungkook ran into Taehyung.

"Woah-" Taehyung chuckled, putting his hands on Jungkook's waist to steady him. Jungkook gasped out and gripped Taehyung's shirt. "Little clumsy there, Kooks," Taehyung said.

Jungkook blinked up at him, mouth open- but no words coming out. Jungkook gulped down. "That- t-the- y-yeah. Yeah. Um-" Jungkook began and then trailed off silently.

"Cool." Taehyung said, trying not to make obvious how fast his heart was thudding and how many butterflies his stomach was infested with. "See ya," Taehyung said, and then put his hands in his pockets and began walking away.

Taehyung walked for a minute, but then stopped. He turned around. Jungkook was behind him. "Are you following me?" Taehyung asked, raising one brow.

Jungkook let out a small nervous laugh. "N-no. Why would I? I was just... going wherever you're going." Jungkook said, scratching the back of his neck.

Jungkook walked up to Taehyung, and then placed his fingers on Taehyung's shoulders, dragging his fingers down the width of it. "Nev-never knew you shoulders were so- um- wide." Jungkook murmured, looking up at him.

Taehyung grinned. "Yeah? I've always been kinda big, you could say." Taehyung whispered. Jungkook got goosebumps.

"Your hair looks really good. Like- your-your little undercut?- and- the-" Jungkook began, and Taehyung snickered.

"You're stuttering a lot. You okay?" Taehyung asked. Jungkook nodded quickly, never been so fucking stuttery and shy in front of someone before.

"You never got me those cupcakes, by the way." Jungkook voiced as Taehyung turned around. Taehyung, for a second, wanted to turn around and cup Jungkook's cheeks and kiss his forehead and tell him he'll get him those cupcakes right now.

But that's not what Jin taught him.

"Yeah, well- maybe get them yourself next time," Taehyung said, and then began walking away again. Jungkook stood still for a few seconds, but rushed up to him, catching up.

"O-oh. Okay." Jungkook said with a mumble. They walked into the cafeteria, and the moment they did, everyone stopped to look at Taehyung. Jungkook stood behind Taehyung finding this odd.

"W-wow- who is that guy?" Some girl whispered. Taehyung walked down the cafeteria, towards the food line.

"Is- is that Taehyung?"

"He looks so hot... must be his twin or something..."

Taehyung noticed how the guy standing at the line let him go in front of him, his eyes big and lip bitten. Taehyung gave him a small smile and then went ahead of him, wanting to get a sandwich.

"H-hey. You're Taehyung, right?" The girl in front of him said. Taehyung looked at her. He nodded. "I'm Jennie. You- your new hair looks really... nice." She said. Taehyung gave her a quick smile and saw her cheeks redden. She turned around, slightly flustered.

Taehyung's eyes widened when she turned around. Oh my fuck. She was known as one of the hottest girls in their batch. Maybe Taehyung DID look good.

Taehyung felt a hand clasp onto his jacket. "Hey," Jungkook's voice came, and Taehyung turned and saw him, looking at the food. "Can you get me a strawberry lemonade and a-"

Taehyung pulled his arm away and chuckled. "Do I look like some sort of catering service, Kook?"

Jungkook hesitated. "N-no. You just- um-" Jungkook began, but then heard a groan. "Stop cutting, Jeon. Go to the back of the line." Some dude said. Jungkook stilled, and then nodded, going away.

Taehyung got his food and then walked to the table where the rest of the guys were seated already. He joined them, sitting down with Jimin. Taehyung noticed Jungkook rushing up to join them, and then cleared his throat.

"I be hitting pussy every night like issa game." Taehyung stammered.

"Why did you say that?" Jimin hissed. Taehyung gulped. "I-I don't know! I panicked!" Taehyung whispered back.

"Tae," Jungkook said, sitting down beside him. Taehyung flicked open his can of soda and took a sip, tipping his head back. Jungkook watched for a few seconds and Taehyung gulped it down, his adam's apple bobbing up and down. Jungkook licked his lips.

Taehyung brought his drink away and then hummed. "Do you wanna come over to my house tonight? We can have dinner and watch a movie. Like- like we did that day-"

Now, Taehyung would usually yell out yes in an instant. But he had to seem 'cool'. And Jungkook did say he liked meaner guys.

"If you're not going to talk about you slutting around the whole time, sure," Taehyung snickered. Jungkook froze. The boys all looked at the two of them.

Jungkook looked at Taehyung for a few seconds, and then cleared his throat quickly. "W-what?" Jungkook let out, a small confused smile on his face.

"Last time I came over you talked about all those guys you had sex with the whole time. I don't need to know all that, Kooks. It's kind of gross," Taehyung said plainly.

Jungkook kept looking at him for some time and then nodded. "O-okay. Sorry." He said in a small voice, looking away from Taehyung.

Jimin let out a stifled laugh. Jungkook looked up at him. Jimin put his fist against his mouth, trying to stop. Hoseok looked at Jungkook.

"He's just laughing 'cause I- um- put my drink in-" Hoseok stammered, trying to say something. Jungkook nodded quickly. "Yeah, I get it," Jungkook said, knowing it was a fat lie. He then looked at Yoongi.

"Say, Yoongi- I still have your jacket left at my house from last night. Y'know, when you fucked me," Jungkook said. Jimin stilled. "You can come to my house collect it if you want." Jungkook smiled innocently. Jimin looked at Jungkook, jaw slack.

Jungkook giggled. "I think that's really funny, don't you Jimin?" Jungkook said, giving him a big smile and tilting his head.

"Taehyung just said it's gross as fuck when you talk about sex all the time. None of us want to hear that shit, Jungkook." Jimin snapped. Jungkook scoffed.

"Just say you're jealous and go, Jimin," Jungkook said.

"Jealoud?" Jimin let out, looking at him, amused. "Jealous of what? Being the school's cock sleeve?? Or being so loose that someone could fit the fucking empire state building inside of me?" Jimin said, voice rough, eyebrows risen.

Jungkook blinked his eyes. He opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. Jungkook felt tears rising in his eyes. The other boys looked at Jimin in disbelief, eyes widened. Jungkook got up from the seat, grabbing his drink.

"T-Taehyung come w-with me, please," Jungkook said, gripping his jacket. Jimin gripped onto Taehyung's arm.

Taehyung's eyes were big. "Kookie-" Taehyung began. "Don't, Taehyung. He's just taking advantage of you." Jimin mumbled in a whisper. Taehyung hesitated, but Jungkook nodded, wiping his eyes quickly.

"S-sorry," Jungkook whispered, and then turned to walk away quickly. He ran out of the cafeteria, tears rushing down his face.

Jimin let Taehyung's jacket go. Taehyung looked at Jimin with a gulp. "Jimin was that... really rude," Jin said, frowning.

"He brought it up." Jimin said. Taehyung gulped. "I-I don't want to be mean to him..." Taehyung trailed.

"Ren calls him a slut all the time, and Jungkook's probably going over to sit on his dick right now," Jimin said. Hoseok sighed. Jimin looked away. "Sorry," Jimin said to Hoseok.

Taehyung bit his lip. "Look," Taehyung bean, looking at Jimin. "I don't know what happened between the two of you. Neither of you will tell me. But talking like that to anyone is not okay. It's rude as fuck, and totally inconsiderate."

Jimin looked at him, confused. "I love you, Jimin. But it's not fair to him for you to not acknowledge his feelings and treat him like shit." Taehyung snapped, and then looked down.

Jimin blinked. "That's funny, considering he does the same to you. But okay." Jimin said.

A flash of hurt crossed Taehyung's face as he looked at Jimin. Jimin looked at him as well. "Okay- sorry. I'm sorry for saying all that, and I'll try and stop." Jimin mumbled. Jimin squeezed his hand, and Taehyung gave him a small smile. "I'm gonna go get some food." Jimin said, getting up and walking away.

"Taehyung," Yoongi said, and Taehyung looked at him. For the first time, he didn't address him as 'loser' or 'nerd'. "A lot happened last year that you don't know about. It's affected Jimin a lot. I know he's unfair to Jungkook, but his anger is justified." Yoongi explained. Taehyung nodded, looking away.

What could've Jungkook done to fuck stuff up so bad?
