Thirteen
Avoiding someone is easy,you can go the other way when you see them, Don't talk to them and even if they talk to you, give them small answers. They would be annoyed and will leave themselves.
But it's all useless because even if you avoid them they show up in your thoughts,in your mind and in your dreams. You start to think about them more often because to focus on avoiding them you have to keep thinking about them. It's a cycle that Taehyung is sick of.
He made a mistake last night. He did something he shouldn't have done and should have controlled himself better. Though the flashbacks of last night keep flashing in his mind. He can't move on from their kiss, his fingers linger on his lips as he let out a dreamy sigh,missing the presence on his lips.
Those luscious pink lips that kissed him like there's no tomorrow and now he has to avoid him because he's a guy.
Though Jeongguk isn't like Taehyung he has noticed. He is a lot braver and in touch with his feelings because after everything he still tries to talk to him but the older boy doesn't give him a chance,he doesn't give him the time of the day at all. Jeongguk wants to talk to him about last night and how they need to fix this because this is not good for either of them but the latter is stubborn.
This whole thing didn't go unnoticed by Joohyun and Jimin both. Who was a bit confused why these two 'best friends' are suddenly avoiding each other. What even happened between them?
So to get answers, Joohyun grabs Jeongguk and Jimin grabs Taehyung, they need to know and end this awkward tension that is around the Villa because of them.
"I am not taking any excuses, spill up,why are you and Jeongguk both acting constipated around each other?'' Jimin who shoved Taehyung into the bean bag asked him.
"There's nothing I swear!! we just argued over something last night and I just don't want to talk to him right now" He made up an excuse,praying Jimin buys it.
"Argued over what?"
"Um…He said Ariana Grande is better than Taylor swift!" Taehyung said the first thing that came to his mind.
"Did he actually say that?"
"Yeah"
"I am with him on this one"
"Jimin-" Taehyung was cut off by the Love buzzer once again doing its thing by alerting everyone. He slams it so it can start speaking.
"Dear Contestants,there are three new contestants waiting for you in three different locations around the Villa. As they will be taking two of you for a lovely chat. Please Welcome Kim Seokjin, Xiaojun and Kelsey Merritt to the Villa. We will be announcing the lucky contestants to have first chat with them shortly. '' The robot announced loudly through the Villa as some girls and boys screamed because they had another chance.
Those being mostly Jiyeon and Sangwoo as after their fight last night,just like Taehyung and Jeongguk they have also been avoiding each other like a plague. At Least in their case Jeongguk was trying to talk but the heteros were both really stubborn and refused to acknowledge their mistakes.
It really is the end for them,he thinks. Jiyeon looks like she is going to levitate because of two new guys and the same goes for Sangwoo even though it's just one new girl.
Three New Contestants Have Entered the Villa!!
Name: Kim Seokjin
Age: 27
Birthplace: Gwacheon, South Korea
Job: Actor, TV host
Name: Xiaojun
Age: 23
Birthplace: Dongguan, China
Job: From A kpop Group called NCT
Name: Kelsey Merritt
Age: 25
Birthplace: Angeles, Philippines
Job: Real Estate Agent,Models occasionally
"Jeongguk and Sangwoo,please get ready to go on a date with Kelsey in the Garden. Yeri and Jiyeon,please get ready to go on a date with Xiaojun on the terrace. Joohyun,please get ready to go on a date with Seokjin in the hot tub in the chamber of Lust" The robot told the date names while taking a pause before announcing each pair.
"Why only Joohyun? isn't everyone supposed to choose two? looks like you got competition with this Seokjin guy" Jimin patted Taehyung's shoulder who was already sighing in defeat.
A romantic chat in the hot tub with just the two of them. The guy might be dropping dead gorgeous as these are the times when they drop bombshells. He can only pray Joohyun doesn't get swayed.
She comes to Taehyung and kisses him on the cheek. "Will be back soon,don't miss me too much" She said to him.
"You know I would,don't look too cute" He kissed her hands as she giggled in response and walked into the Villa so she could get ready for this hot tub date.
His eyes also fall on Jeongguk who follows Joohyun into the Villa so he can get ready for his date. Yeah,ofcourse the new girl chose Jeongguk. Everyone choses Jeongguk,who wouldn't when that man looks like he jumped out of a VOGUE magazine.
Taehyung doesn't even know why he is more annoyed at that,he has no right to be annoyed after everything he did. This is so stressful, this wasn't part of his plan at all. Why did Jeongguk have to show up and ruin it all?
The remaining contestants who don't have any dates all gathered up in the firepit to just talk about the new contestants. Couples being a couple,Luna sits on Jimin's lap,attached together like glue while Nabi and Jaewon look stressed.
"What's up with you both?"
"I can't believe no one chose me? have I started to gain weight here?" Nabi asked and it immediately made Taehyung want to roll his eyes.
"Seriously? that's your problem?" Jimin asked her,Scoffing at her behaviour.
"What else should be my problem,Park Jimin?"
"The fact that Jeongguk is on a date with a girl right now?"
"Oh,Nah I am not scared at all. I know Jeongguk, I am too hot. This Kelsey chick has nothing on me and my beauty." She responded,shrugging as she was unbothered.
"I don't think she's Korean though because Kelsey sounds like a name of a foreigner so who knows what type of foreign beauty they got,Nabi" Taehyung tried to egg her on, hurting himself too in the process.
"I couldn't care more. If anyone should be scared it should be you,Jaewon. I heard Xiaojun was an idol too" She decided to tease Jaewon who was already going through 5 stages of grief.
"Thank you for reminding me that my girl is on a date with a man who isn't me. It's absolutely ridiculous, why does some idol douche have to come now?"
"It's just a part of the game,Jaewon chill. The fact that she might get along more with him because of their similarities shouldn't be a big problem" Taehyung also jumped on to tease him,making the other chuckle.
"This is not funny, guys. You shouldn't be laughing too then Taehyung. At Least this idol douche also took Jiyeon too meanwhile that seokjun? sukjan? took only Joohyun" He gave Taehyung a smug smile which made him mad.
"Not a threat to me"
"I know Kim Seokjin, he's like a big personality on TV and has even won the title of one of the most handsome man in the world. If I was you I would be scared. " Jaewon added in, Saying it dramatically as if Seokjin just won an Oscar.
"He might have all those titles but i'm the one who has Joohyun's heart so good luck to him" He tried to be smug about it even though he had no interest in this new guy and if he might steal. It worries him a little but he doesn't know if Joohyun can be swung that easily.
"This place is absolutely lit!!" They heard someone coming out of the Villa. They are back from their dates.
The remaining contestants stood up and went to them to see their faces. His eyes fell first on Joohyun and Seokjin who were walking side by side, her eyes lit up when she saw Taehyung and immediately came to hug him. He hugged her back. "How was the date?"
"It was alright" She said,pulling away.
He stood aside as he also gave Seokjin a side hug. "Hey man,Nice to meet you, I am Taehyung"
"Kim Seokjin but you can call me Jin" He responded to him,walking to the other contestants to greet them and Taehyung now understands why this man has the world most handsome man title because holy shit his face card was insane.
His black pushed back hair, the pink plump lips,the defined features, His broad shoulders and he was even taller than Taehyung. This guy is a dreamboat. He was definitely feeling a bit threatened now. How did they even get a guy like him to enter this Villa.
He heard some other boy and he presumes it's the Chinese one. He had Yeri and Jiyeon on both of his sides and all of their arms linked together.
Just like Jin,he was of course drop dead gorgeous, He had that forigen look to his face and he was actually really slim,he knows everyone is but this man in particular was just so slim. He's an idol. It makes perfect sense.
Taehyung also gave him a side hug,introducing himself when he felt the man's arm linger for a little longer than usual. Strange,he thought to himself.
"Oh it's so good to see you in real life,have been watching you on TV and have to say I'm a fan. Xiaojun,by the way" Oh great,this one would be fun to be around in this place. His first fan he met, that already sounds weird.
"You are really handsome, Xiaojun. I am glad you liked watching me, weird because I don't know why I forgot I am being broadcasted as we speak" Taehyung joked around with him,lying because he's aware. that's the thing he's most aware about,his public image.
"You don't have to worry about it though,Everyone loves you" Xiaojun added in and Taehyung just responded with a small smile.
Finally,the new girl,Kelsey, was it? entered with Jeongguk and Sangwoo, just like Xiaojun,her arms were also linked with the two boys. Jeongguk had this wide smile on his face that was a bit alarming to him.
He doesn't know if he's the only one noticing it but her grip on Jeongguk's arm looked tighter in comparison to the grip on Sangwoo's arm. Maybe it was him just looking too much into it.
The girl,she was gorgeous. Her natural brown hair flowed in the air,they were so shiny and beautiful. The blue mini dress she was wearing fit her perfectly,in all the right curves. The platform heels she was wearing made her almost as tall as Taehyung. She was truly a delight to look at.
He pulled her in for a quick hug. "I am Taehyung,Nice to meet you" He repeated for the third time today.
"Kelsey Merrit but my friends like to just call me Kel,you can call me yours though,handsome." She was so straightforward he was taken back a bit.
"I love the confidence,Welcome to the Villa,all three of you" He eyed Sangwoo and Jeongguk who chuckled. Jeongguk was still trying to maintain eye contact with him but Taehyung looked away. He can't be looking at him for longer,he will lose control.
He saw almost everyone was done hugging and greeting each other. "How about we head to the fire pit and you three can give a little introduction?" Taehyung suggested to the group whom they agreed with.
Everyone started to take their place in the fire pit seating area. Seats were getting occupied as Taehyung was going to sit next to Seokjin. Suddenly Nabi came out of nowhere and immediately sat there. He looked at her with a confused expression but she ignored him, just giving Seokjin her sweet smiles.
Rolling his eyes at the childish behaviour, he saw empty space in between Xiaojun and Jeongguk. Great,he can't walk past it without acknowledging it and he is kind of on 'I still want to avoid Jeongguk' mode. There's no running out of this so just taking in his pride,he sat at the empty spot.
"I'll go first, you all know my name, obviously who wouldn't. I'm 27 years old and I'm an actor. I also have a whole TV show of mine where I host. I came here so I can find myself a wife, I am getting old so I wanna settle down and I don't have time for seasonal girlfriends." Seokjin was straightforward,it was better that way.
"So what's your type then? maybe pretty girls like me?" Nabi jokes around, twirling her hair. She's making it so obvious.
"You got me on pretty girls, The one who just takes my breath away, mature and older woman. That's my type,I think you're too young for me Nabi. We have all been watching the show from outside and I have to say, my eyes have been on Joohyun and that's why I chose only her for the date" The other contestants oh-ed at his confidence. Teasing him a bit.
"You are a bit too confident, Joohyun might not even like you like that " Taehyung responded to him. He wasn't going to indulge but he can't just sit here and listen to Seokjin going after his couple.
"Well that's not your decision,is it Taehyung-sshi?" He snapped back at him.
"OK! Kelsey come on, introduce yourself" Jimin interrupted their conversation that was going to get heated.
"I'm 25, A Gemini…I swear I'm nice and I am a real estate agent!" She shared excitedly but from her tone she sounded nervous.
"You must be loaded. What are you looking for? " Jaewon said to her.
"I am looking to have some fun,a nice summer and Someone who would want to experience all that with me" OK,A generic answer. He wants to yawn but he can't.
"My turn, I'm 23, I am a member of an kpop group called NCT, you might or might not have heard about-"
"We literally have a song together. What do you think?" Yeri said to him and he just chuckled. Inch interesting.
"Yeah,My type is definitely someone fierce and someone who is really fun to be around with, A great sense of humour and sexy looks is what I'm looking for" Xiaojun type kind of sounded like him,he shouldn't be tooting his own horn.
"That sounds like Nabi" Jaewon said. "And Taehyung too oddly" Jimin added, making Taehyung smile and shrug.
"I mean,hey I am pansexual so I am open to that too. Big fan of Taehyung though" Xiaojun declared and even Taehyung himself was surprised by that.
He glanced at Xiaojun sitting next to him and realized the boy was already looking at him. Taehyung just grinned at him,making Xiaojun chuckle. their shoulders brushed lightly and suddenly he was feeling the tension.
It's nice to have one less straight man around but he hopes producers don't take this opportunity to put him in another queerbaiting situation. Though the new boy is nice to look at.
"OK let's spice it up,Newbies, Name the top 3 contestants you fancy right now" Luna said to them.
"Joohyun first definitely, I am not really interested in anyone but if I have to then maybe Luna and Yeri" Seokjin went first, Joohyun smirked at the answer,this guy was really into her.
"Sangwoo, Jeongguk and Xiaojun" Kelsey said straightforwardly,no explanation or whatever.
He saw Kelsey and Jeongguk exchange glances and he wanted to scoff for some reason. Feeling Xiaojun's hand brushing against him brought his focus back to him.
"This is hard,all of you are so fine. Um,maybe Jiyeon,Kelsey and Luna also…Taehyung,if I can choose a guy too" Xiaojun was hitting on him at this point,this is the third time he mentioned him and it hasn't even been an hour since they met.
He felt arms around his shoulder, Suddenly pushing him back to their chest. He looked at his side to be face to face with Jeongguk who smirked at him and then looked at Xiaojun.
"Ofcourse you can choose a guy, Xiaojun. This is a judgement free zone,I mean we both went on a date so there's nothing like that here" Taehyung wished he added the part where they were forced to go on that date by the production team.
"But it does sound like you have got a crush on this guy right here, beware though he's a feisty one" Jeongguk said to Xiaojun with a very fake expression on his face.
Taehyung wants to call him out because what is he doing right now? putting his arms around him and saying all that. What is he trying to prove? is he in his senses because what if people think they have something going on? They do but the others don't need to know that.
"He's right, We don't mind but Taehyung is a crazy choice" Jimin added in and Taehyung glad he did. they don't look that suspicious now.
"Come on guys don't scare him, I am not some kind of vixen but I am really flattered though it would be hard to have my head turned from that girl over there" He winked at Joohyun who was happy he mentioned her.
"Ah ofcourse,well let's see where this takes us. I will try my best to satisfy my top 3" Xiaojun said and that's how the conversation died.
Soon some of them start to get up and go to the kitchen or the bean bags,just all around this place. Taehyung takes Jeongguk's hands off his shoulder and gets up,he walks to Joohyun,grabbing her hand. "Let's go" He said to her.
She immediately got up. "Where are we going?"
"To the terrace."
When a guy takes a girl to the terrace,it's either they are going to talk about something serious or they are going to make out…sometimes both too. So she feels her breathing stop for a second and it continues.
They reach the terrace and sit down on the sofa. Sitting right next to each other but facing each other so it's easier to talk. She can't stop smiling for some reason. Taehyung isn't known for going all out but it feels nice when he just mentions her and pulls her aside like this.
"So…?" She trailed.
"What do you think of the new boys?" Taehyung asked her, straight to the point.
"Seokjin you mean,since Xiaojun seems more into you than me" She chuckled and he followed too.
"He is definitely something. So what are you thinking? just know if you want to get to know him I won't hold you back,Though don't worry about me I definitely won't be going to Xiaojun" He joked with her again and she laughed once again and didn't say anything for a second.
"Don't get me wrong I really like you too but Seokjin is definitely handsome and I want to see if there is something, like just a chat or two but if you have problem with that than I won't because I don't want to dump what we have for someone who walked in barely an hour ago"
"I told you I have no problem with that. Just a chat or two can work with me. I might seem smug but I have a feeling" He leaned closer towards her. " that you would be coming back to me" He tilted his face with a smirk on his face.
He saw how Joohyun's eyes narrowed and she scoffed at him. Grabbing him by his jaw. "You are crazy" She pressed her lips next to Taehyung's,pulling them into a passionate kiss.
He smiled through the kiss and immediately kissed her back. Putting his hands on her small waist and pulling her so their bodies can be pressed together. Taehyung must be really crazy because right now he's kissing the most beautiful girl in this Villa
but the person on his mind is a certain raven head boy whose lips tasted like nothing he has ever tasted before.
