A/N:- Jungkook and Yumi are NOT married. They just live together and well... YOU'LL SEE THE REST

3 Months Later...

Y/N's PoV

"Did you guys even consider editing the scenes before broadcasting them because this is straight up shitty!" Yumi threw a handful of popcorns at the TV screen while critically judging every aspect of the drama she chose to watch. Not to mention, the male lead was my beloved ex-husband, Kim Seokjin.

"I ain't sharing popcorns with her now," Jungkook said with wide-opened eyes. "Here's an advice for you, rather throw them at my face. That way we will avoid wastage and save our planet." Jungkook barely complained when Yumi made him realize he was better off quiet and perhaps, single. She tried out his idea right away and it didn't go well. "How do I get this out of my nose now...!?"

"Calm the fuck down, Yumi! If you don't like it then go away. No one is forcing you, shoo!" I pointed out the alternatives and then the door. She wasn't letting us concentrate on the dialogues when she kept adding her harsh comments.

"For real. Like, I know I should be open to critics but this lady just won't stop." Taehyung, who was practically the victim in the whole situation started and leaned forward to explain his work flashing o the television screen. "If you look closely, all the actors and the scenes are top-notch plus the response is very good so your opinion is very unpopular."

"Don't worry, Tae, at least Y/N loved Jin's intense kissing scene." Jungkook's words reminded me of the scenario that took place half an hour ago. Things started to get hot and it was obvious that Jin would kiss the girl. Fearing that it might affect me, all three of them did different stunts ranging from Taehyung fast forwarding the scene to Yumi and Jungkook covering my eyes with their hand and foot respectively. 

I lifted my leg to kick Jungkook for mocking me but my leg hit Yumi's chin instead because she chose the exact moment to bend down and pick popcorns from the floor just. "Ow, ow, ow! My jaw. Jungkook, would you still love me if my jaw broke?" Yumi asked with teary eyes as she held her jaw in one place. Not like it actually broke, she was just overreacting.

The most complicated part was our position. All 4 adults were trying the couch's patience. The poor thing was made to hold utmost 3 people but we exceeded the limits. Initially, Taehyung was chilling alone while watching the latest episode of 'say yes to the dress' but then I accused him for breaking the norms by not inviting me to accompany him. The new-found lovers, Yumi and Jungkook, said they couldn't sit apart and that's how we ended up adjusting them on the small couch. Yumi just happened to steal the remote during the chaos and change the show.

"He too almost fractured his jaw because of me, he knows the pain so he won't reject you for it." I rolled my eyes watching him comfort her and soothe her jaw. "This couch is the actual problem."

"Let's settle this with rock, paper and scissors. The loser will have to sit on the floor and also bring more popcorns." We approved Taehyung's plan almost instantly. He began the game but in the end, as if sharing the same brain cells, Yumi, Jungkook and I showed our fists. We three exchanged glares before looking down at two long trembling fingers of Taehyung. It was scissors. He lost! "Why does the one who suggests always lose!?"

"Get lost, Taehyung." I kicked his ass when he tried to get up lazily. The room was barely lit by the natural lighting set by the sun but as the dusk fell, the room went eerily dark. We were waiting for Taehyung but because he took longer than expected, we continued without him.

Little did we know, Taehyung hid behind the couch to scare us.

The camera caught a close up shot of Jin's handsome face when Yumi pipped. "Those wide shoulders. God! They can't even fit in the frame. They attracted you the most, right?" Yumi teasingly nudged me while smiling creepily. 

I shied away and lowly whispered. "There were many other reasons but his body design topped the list, after his looks, of course." Taehyung stopped and glared down at his shoulders before shrugging the thought of comparison away.

"I read in one of his interviews that he has a knack for cooking. Who wouldn't wanna marry this guy now?!" Jungkook exclaimed while no one found his words offensive. It was true that Jin was the closest one could get to perfect.

"He surely knew his way around cooking better than Taehyung. Remember how Taehyung managed to give all of us food poisoning earlier this month." I laughed and hit Yumi as a consequence while the person behind the couch realized that his friends lied to him all along.

"Yeah, I was so nauseated but the hardest part was when we had to appreciate his cooking. The taste of his food still haunts me!" Jungkook fake puked when thinking about the worst meal he ever had. The first episode was reaching its end when that all too familiar deep and melodic voice entered my ears like a fluttering dream. "Jin sung this ost. He can definitely make a career in singing. Heck, I'm fanboying for him!" Jungkook clapped his hands rapidly like an excited kid.

"Is my boyfriend gay?" Yumi cupped her face in an exaggerating manner, making her thoughts over the situation clear.

Jungkook rolled his eyes  and responded by creeping his hand around her waist and pulling her closer. "If I were gay, then you won't have seen what you saw last ni—"

She tried to sink in the couch when her boyfriend openly exposed their relationship status. "You guys did it already!?" I couldn't tone down my excitement. "Woah, you two are quick, huh? Taehyung and I haven't even talked about it yet."

"To be honest, it wasn't our first time last night, right, Yumi?" Jungkook nudged her a bit to get attention but in reply, she pulled out a pillow to beat the living daylights out of him.

"Shut up or else I'll expose how horny you are all the time! Oops, I did." It was shocking how they were always bickering when in public but thing were different when they were in private. "Talking about you two," Yumi turned towards me with the same pillow clutched in her hand. "You have been knowing each other for a decent amount of time, just bang already. I'm sure Taehee would love to babysit a sibling, I did too, when my first brother was born but then eventually, I lost interest when I got to babysit a new sibling after almost every alternate year." 

"I really hope Taehee doesn't lose interest too." I tried not to picture myself taking care of many babies but the dreadful thought didn't leave me alone. "As for Taehyung, there are so many things holding me back. Like, what if he thinks it's too early or he took 'her' name instead of mine or what if he is just disappointing in general?" I presented some of many worries I had

"Or what if he didn't last for 3 minutes." Jungkook laughed at the possibilities of his friend's lacking talents in an unexpected field. His joke met our unwavering glares of disgust. "What? I thought we were just mentioning potential scenarios."

"Yeah, that makes to the list too. All this would be too embarrassing for both of us so I'm staying lowkey." I got the attention of both, Yumi and Jungkook, who was getting tackled by her. "Jin was better at this. I didn't have to hesitate, it just always happened. Guess Taehyung and I aren't that close yet."

"Jungkook, won't lie but when Y/N and Jin's relationship was at its peak, they were inseparable in every way. Emotionally, mentally, physically, sexually, biologically—" Jungkook cut Yumi off with a short 'hm' as if he was understanding everything well. "He knew her better than Taehyung..."

Right at that moment, Taehyung stood up abruptly after absorbing enough humiliation. "Um, excuse me, ladies and... eggplant." He was clearly pissed and perhaps, a bit jealous too. "I-I don't-don't understand wh-why you'll have those doubts, Y/N." He stammered while cringing.

"Fuck, what were you doing behind the couch!?" I screamed while holding a pillow above my head to attack him but before I could proceed, he snatched it away. "Don't tell me he heard everything!"

"Well, by the looks of it, he did!" Yumi placed a hand over her racing heart because Taehyung's unexpected appearance scared all of us equally.

Meanwhile, Jungkook joined us too but with a different motive. "He called me an eggplant!"

"Yes, you're an eggplant because I can last longer than 3 minutes! 6 minutes is my personal record..." Taehyung murmured the last part with his head held low. 6 minutes was still sort of embarrassing for someone who pretends to be cool all the time.

"That's still not long enough, ask Yumi, I lasted for 7 minutes 27 seconds last night that's still not my best, right, Yumi?!" Jungkook's point to prove his supremacy had Yumi hiding her flustered face. "I'm sure Jin would be better!" 

That was Taehyung's trigger point.

"Wanna know what I'm better at!? At making babies, Jin has none, I have Taehee!" Taehyung stomped his feet on the ground heavily and pulled me to stand up next to him while he argued with Jungkook. "We'll show him, Y/N!" I had never seen Taehyung getting so competitive and it was kinda hot.

"And that's it. Taehyung's angry and you know what? They say it's the best. We'll leave you now, bye!" Yumi wiggled her brows while ruining her boyfriend's plans of shading Taehyung more. They locked the door behind, leaving us alone.

"So yeah, what were you saying again?" He thought being seated on the couch while talking about it would be better so he proceeded with the idea a little harshly and took me by surprise.

"Kittens sound more appealing than human b-babies," I suggested with a nervous chuckle that couldn't cover my flustered state as well as the obvious sexual tension.

"Maybe Min Yoongi would be better at making those but for now, let's be satisfied with human babies." The idea of keeping the lights dim proved to be most useful for us as all the dark things always happen in dark. Somewhere between pulling his shirt over his head, Taehyung said: "And for God's sake, how can you expect me to be disappointing!? I'm Kim Taehyung, duh."

"We'll see for that, narcist." I could barely make out his actions so my most active sense, touch, helped me know his intentions. "Hey! That was my favorite shirt, you fucking monster!"

It was as if I could feel his smirk growing wider through the thick darkness. "I'll be somewhere along those lines now, just for you."

That was how we unleashed a new chapter (a bit too smutty, I must say) of our love story that probably made Taehee lose interest.
