"HONEY! I'M HOOOME" jungkook entered the shared apartment just like his usual self and makes his way to the kitchen.
Not finding taehyung there, he remembered it was Friday night and took out his phone for ordering pizza for the night simultaneously making his way to taehyung's room.

As soon as he opened the door he halted in shock. He hung up the phone, eyes wide as saucers and jaw fell to the ground.

There were heeps of clothes on the bed, on the floor, all the shoes out of the closet scattered on the floor. And taehyung sitting on one of his sweatshirts on the floor with legs crossed and eyebrows furrowed holding at a shirt that jungkook hasn't seen in years.
If it was his own room, it wouldn't have been a big deal for jungkook. But this was the neat-freak taehyung. A borderline OCD, if you may. In their more than a decade of living together, never has Jungkook seen this condition of taehyung's surrounding. Even when they had one room and used to share a bed. Never.

This was code red.

He quickly made his way towards the other jumping to avoid the clothes on floor and sat down next to him.

"Never thought the apocalypse was this near"

"Shutup and help me!! Aaaghhh" He threw the shirt on the heap on the bed.

"Look at me. Hey! Look at me! What's got you so worried. And where are you going?" jungkook clicks his fingers in front of taehyung's eyes who was distracted taking out a shirt from under him.

"I have a date tonight."

"okay. And? "

"And I don't know what to wear."

Jungkook didn't react much, just got up and made his way to his room coming back with a hanger with black shirt with white intricate design in one hand, taehyung's leather shoes that he borrowed in the other and a black leather belt clutched in his mouth. He then went to the bed and took out a black formal pant out of the heap and threw everything on taehyung, one of the shoe hitting his cheek and the other his forhead.

"ow! Asshole!"

"Never thought I'd say this sentence but go shower and get ready while I clean your room."

Taehyung didn't argue and silently picked up the outfit made his way to the bathroom.

He came out of the bathroom after a while with a towel on his waist and started getting dressed while jungkook was busy folding his clothes.

"Now are you going to tell me about this date that's got you having a meltdown?" Jungkook asked with his back towards taehyung hanging the shirts back in the closet.

Taehyung paused and gulped stopping in the middle of buckling the belt.
"It's Yoonie hyung's coworker. Hobi hyung set me up."

"Oooh. Interesting. What's her name?"

"Laurence."

He heard jungkook chuckle.

"Nice. Caucasian?"

"I don't know much. I didn't ask"

How do I tell him? How do I tell him? How do I tell him?

"Yo! Why are you so nervous about this one?" jungkook asked as he finally turned around and noticed the others apprehension. "Are you afraid that Hosoek will be embarrassed if you have to call it off with this one too? "

No I am afraid what would happen if I don't want to call it off

"y-yeah thats- that's what I'm worried about."

"You're lying." jungkook suddenly turned serious and walked towards the other and cupped his face but taehyung keeps avoiding eye contact.

"Look at me and tell me what's wrong."

"I just don't know Koo. I want this date to turn out to be good at the same time I don't want that because then all the concepts of my life turn into dust."

Jungkook chuckled leaving taehyung face and smacking the side of his head.
"God! You're so dramatic sometimes Tae. Just go and have fun. Don't think too much of it. Get laid if you want to, don't if you don't want. Send me a text if it sucks, I'll-

They were interrupted when the bell rung.
"Was she gonna pick you up?" Jungkook asked.

"Umm no.. It's a blind date, we're meeting directly at the cafe."

Jungkook furrowed his brows and made his way to the door.

"Surprise baby!!" loud squeaky voice echoed in the house making taehyung, who was now last checking himself in the mirror in his room, wince loudly and roll his eyes.

"Daisy. Oh. You're here. To surprise me. On a Friday night. On my Netflix and chill night. You're here!!" Jungkook's pearly smile totally overshadowed the venom in his voice and the glint of annoyance in his eyes.

"Yes I am and we can Netflix and chill in each others arms!! Let's watch a rom-com!! " she pushed jungkook aside and plopped down on the couch grabbing the remote.

Jungkook stood there with an annoyed face, not knowing how to react when Taehyung made his way to the living room, already mirroring jungkook's expression.

He took his keys and went to the door trying to avoid spoiling his already anxious mood by having any sort of conversation with the uninvited guest but luck wasn't on his side.

"Oh Taemin!! I totally forgot you lived here too. But, good, you're heading out."

"Oh Dakota!! Didn't see you there! Yeah I'll be back in a while but I'll be honored to have you forget my existence, and vice versa."

"Daisy."

"Huh? No, I'm more of an orchid guy.
Koo, I'm out. If you order pizza, order one for me too. I'm not sure if I will eat anything there. Bye" Taehyung left after he quickly pecked jungkook's forehead, who was by the way still standing by the door.

Jungkook was bitting hard on his knuckles to avoid bursting into laughter at the burn his best friend just served the girl.

"So... Pizza? "

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Taehyung's hand kept slipping off the steering wheel because of all the clamminess on his callous palm, eyebrows furrowed, lower lip bit hard under the incisors. To say that he was nervous enough to shit his pants would be an apt statement.

What could go wrong?

Huh?

Huuuhh??

What? What?

Nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

I hope this is the worst date of my life.
Do I hope that though?

Uugghh I should've let Koo give me a pep talk on this!

But I didn't even tell him.

He's gonna be so mad.

It's been so long that he got mad at me,

it's always the other way round,

I don't know what he'll do.

Okay.. Taehyung

one problem at a time!

Here he was standing inside a cafe he's never visited before, in clothes he's never worn before, to meet a guy he's never seen before, for his date with a gender he's never been with before.

Yeah, just any other normal day.

He looked around the small but very aesthetic cafe and saw only one table occupied by another couple, two waiters, rest of the cafe deficient of human beings thankfully.

He made his way to a table for two at the far left corner in the back of the cafe which was sort of hidden from the eye of door and right in front of the fireplace.

He sat down and started fidgeting with anything he could get his hands on. Then grabbed his phone from the pocket to turn it on and see the time only to have his eyes land on his screensaver of a selfie of jungkook making a kissy face.

"Asshole must have changed this while I was showering!" he mumbled smiling to himself but kept looking at the picture.

"uh.. Excuse me... Are you Mr. Taehyung Kim?"

I don't even know. One, I'm literally bombarding the story with updates, so much I might finish it in two days. This has been in drafts for so so long.
Two, I'm just easing y'all into the plot because when it starts it will rush like a leopard
