"Sooyoung,when you said I will be out in 5 minutes,does it mean 15 minutes to you?" Taehyung scolded her,since she was late. Taehyung has been waiting for so much time in his car for the girl to come out of her house so they can go to the pub where the secret Santa gifts will be given.

"I am a girl,you should have known that sweetie. No one can get ready in 5 minutes. When you came I just got up from my bed so I am early if you ask me. Sorry to make you wait though" Sooyoung explained her side,giving him a apologetic look.

"Whatever,wear your seatbelt. Who did you got for secret Santa though?" Taehyung asked her.

"Son Seungwan,She is Seulgi's best friend I think. I am lucky I got her,since we are also friends"

"Oh,lucky you. What did you got her?"

"I got her a cute dress with some cute bracelets. I hope she likes it" she answered with a little smile on her face.

"It's winter,when will she wear that dress ??"

"After winter duh?" She stated like its so obvious. Taehyung decided to drive since he couldn't deal with her right now. He is nervous to give Jeongguk is gift. He likes the stuff that he knows but he just hopes it goes all good.

Everyone was gathered in this pub,all siting pretty close to eachother as there was a space in middle,where there were alot of gifts in different sizes. They reserved this area because they are rich. Taehyung took a seat next to Sooyoung,placing his gift in the middle too. His eyes went over to everyone here to see if he is here.

His eyes met with Jin's,who passed him a smile,Yoongi siting next to him But Jeongguk wasn't anywhere to be found. Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows in confusion as he bite his lips nervously. Where is Jeongguk? His friends are here,wasn't he going to come with them.

"He must be late,no need to overthink anything Taehyung" Taehyung tried reassure himself. Well after tomorrow he is actually worried.

What if Jeongguk is uncomfortable with him now? What if Jeongguk doesn't want to face him now?

Flashback

"Hyung?" Jeongguk said in his deep husky low voice which sent a shiver down Taehyung spine.

"H-Hm?"

"Do you like me?" Jeongguk asked him. Taehyung swear he never felt his heart stop so quickly.

"W-what?" Taehyung stuttered,a little hesitant to answer. He doesn't know what he should say now? Should he just give it up and confess..or make a useless excuse. Both of them will probably seem unbelievable to Jeongguk.

"You heard me Taehyung, Do you like me?"  Jeongguk once again asked him,his eyes burning holes into his skin. They made an eye contact,it was so intense. For  Taehyung it was harder to breath.

What does he has to lose anyway? He should just fuck it and confess right? Yeah,if he confesses he might ruin his friendship with Jeongguk and younger might get uncomfortable and don't talk to him ever again. He has no idea what he should do.

Fuck it.

"...yes,I like you Guk. I know you might not have feelings for me and that's honestly okay. I just don't want our friendship to be ruined. but yeah,I do like you very very much,I just cannot stop thinking about you and...yeah" Taehyung finally did it,he confessed. His head low,looking down at his lap. He doesn't want to look at Jeongguk face, afraid to see how he would react.

"Taehyung....I...I just don't know what to say. I really appreciate the fact that you like me,who I thought no one  would ever like. You are right I don't have feelings for you-" Taehyung swears he felt his eyes tear up at this moment. Which Jeongguk noticed and quickly continued his sentence. "- but!! That doesn't mean you should lose hope,Taehyung I WONT tell you to move on from me,because I don't want you to" Jeongguk said to Taehyung sincerely. Taehyung who was confused what was Jeongguk trying to say.

"What are you saying Guk?"

"I know I might sound selfish but I want to try this,I want to be with you so give me some time and don't lose hope on us and me. This might make no sense to you but please Taehyung,just wait for me" Jeongguk quickly took Taehyung hand in his and hold onto them,placing a little kiss on top of his hand.

"Yeah? Jeongguk please if you are doing this because you feel bad or something than don't do this Guk,I don't want to you to force yourself to like me" Taehyung confronted him about this. He doesn't want a relationship that is one sided and if Jeongguk doesn't like him that is okay.

"No Taehyung,I genuinely wants to try being with you. I don't like you YET,I want to be with you. Just be patient with me "

"You will try this?"

"Yes I would"

"For me?"

"For you"

Flashback over

"Hey Taehyung you good?" Sooyoung checked on him as he looked too busy with his own thoughts. Taehyung snapped out of it and gave her a small nod.

"Yeah I'm good,are we going to start?"

"Yeah but your boy isn't here yet,you can come up at last,Jeongguk won't skip on this...right?" Sooyoung looked at him for confirmation. Unfortunately,Taehyung wasn't so sure either.

"He would come" but Taehyung trusts him. He will be here. Sooyoung gave him a pat and on his shoulder and stood up from the seat as she was the 'host'.

"Okay everyone! Let's start opening gifts now. How about we start from everyone's friend,Kim Seokjin! And then we can go from his right" Sooyoung called as other cheered too. This seemed like some function. Seokjin gave his legendary blow kiss to her and stood up,taking his gift from the bunch.

"I got our host herself,Sooyoung. Here you go,I hope you like it" He grabbed his gift and walked toward Sooyoung giving her the gift. Sooyoung looked surprised Jin got her. She opened the gift and saw a beautiful handbag inside.

"Shut up,is this a designer bag? Bitch Prada?! How the fuck did you afford this?" Sooyoung was shocked,she got a expensive ass gift. She is one lucky woman. Jin wasn't that rich either so how did he afford this? I think that's one of the reasons why he is smiling at Yoongi. When Jeongguk said Jin got himself a sugar daddy he meant it.

"You don't have to know that,I am glad you liked. Yoongi baby come on it's your turn now" Jin went back to his seat and pushed Yoongi so he could go. As much as yoongi didn't wanna do this he had to. YOONGI took a deep breath and got up,he is nervous he won't lie.

"I got my beautiful boyfriend,Jinnie. Here you go baby" Yoongi took his gift and gave it to Jin,sitting back on his seat. Jin mouth was hang open,He looked at Yoongi with his eyes wide open.

"I cannot believe this,why didn't you told me you got me??"

"It's suppose to be a surprise baby,now open it" Yoongi said,waiting impatiently to see Jin's reaction to his precious gift. Jin opened the the gift box and saw a smaller velvet box inside. Jin thinks he knows what it is and he doesn't know how to react. His eyes went full wide,he shifted his gaze toward his boyfriend.

"Don't tell me it is what I think it is,I will cry" Jin told his boyfriend,continuing to take the small velvet box in his hands. He opened the box and saw a ring inside,his hand was on his mouth, trying to control his emotions which he couldn't as he gasped loudly.

"I am not proposing you,don't worry it's a promise ring" Yoongi told him,softly kissing his cheeks as he showed his his own hands,he was wearing his ring. Jin took the ring out and wore it,admiring it. Trying so hard not to scream. He was just so in awe. He loved the gift,he wants to cry. He loves his boyfriend.

"This is so beautiful,I love this so much. Thank you so much!" Jin engulfed Yoongi in a hug,Wrapping his arms around Yoongi shoulders. Yoongi hugged him back,so glad he got this. He felt Jin kissing his neck,multiple times. This was probably the happiest moment of his life.

"Now if that wasn't the sweetest thing ever,when will I?" Taehyung thought to himself,feeling happy for the couple and a little bit jealous. This could be him and Jeongguk but Jeongguk is playing.

The game moved forward,as everyone was giving their gift out to whoever that got as Taehyung turn was coming a little early that he expected even though he was at last. He wants to be Jin and Yoongi with Jeongguk but Jeongguk can't even show up to this,he should not hope for something he knows he can't get.

"Taehyung,it's your turn" Sooyoung tapped on his shoulder,trying to make him snap in reality.

"Yeah but Jeongguk isn't h-" before eh could continue he heard the door open of the pub,his eyes went to see who it is.

There was Jeon Jeongguk,standing in his beautiful glory. Looking so good and so hot as usual. He never disappoints. He was breathing a little too hard,he was panting which makes it obvious he came running to here. Jeongguk looks weren't the only thing that were distracting. What was more distracting were the roses in his hands.

Those beautiful deep red roses,which looked so beautiful and had its own elegance. All Taehyung could think was how beautiful they were and how they would look so good in his hands. That's what makes me him think who is it for?

He really doesn't want to know anymore. He knows he would breakdown if it isn't for him. He is getting ahead of himself,why will it be for him? Jeongguk made himself clear yesterday he doesn't like him,why will he buy roses for him?

"Ahh finally Jeongguk you are here. I see your gift,want to impress your secret Santa Huh?" Sooyoung spoke up,trying to joke around. Teasing him,which made Jeongguk let out a soft chuckle.

"Well since you came last,why don't you go and have your turn" She told him,making the boy nod and get in the center. He looked around,seeing many recognisable face and one special face that he hasn't forget the whole night. That one face that kept him up last night. He cleared his throat to speak up,feeling a little nervous since everyone was looking at him.

"I got the prettiest boy in the campus,Kim Taehyung as my secret Santa" Jeongguk paused for a second to look at Taehyung,who had 'what the fuck' look on his face,totally surprised and didn't expected it to be Jeongguk who got him. His eyes went to Sooyoung who looked equally surprised meaning she didn't did this.

"These are for you,I really hope you like them" He walked towards Taehyung and gave him the pretty flowers. The boy still in shock took the flowers and smelled them,the fresh aroma and so good smell entered his nostrils. A wide smile made its way to Taaehyung face,he was so happy.

"These are so beautiful,I'm speechless. I-I..just wow,thank you. These are really special for me,thank you a lot" Taehyung genuinely liked them a lot. So he thanked Jeongguk for this gift. He felt his heart flutter. His crush got him flowers.

"Don't thank me Tae,it's really isn't that much of a good gift. It's not something that can stay alive forever and is pretty forgettable,I'm sorry" Jeongguk apologised which made the older shake his head,disapprovingly.

"No no,yes they aren't going to stay alive forever but these are special for me right now because they are from you. So thank you" Taehyung tried to convince him other wise. Which made Jeongguk feel a lot much better about his gift,only if he wasn't broke he would have got Taehyung a better gift.

"If you two are done,Taehyung it's your turn now" Sooyoung interrupted their moment,telling the older to go. Taehyung nodded understandingly,as he gave her the roses.

"It's so weird how we both got eachother. Yes,I got you Jeonggukkie,so here you go guk" Taehyung took his gift and gave it the shook boy. Who felt betrayed,Taehyung used him without even him knowing. That's why he was so persistent on making Jeongguk come with him to the mall for gift. He wants to applaud this guy.

"Wah~ you really played with me huh? Well I don't need to check what it is since I already knew. They are so expensive Tae,I don't think I can accept it" Jeongguk was grateful but he doesn't want that expensive gift.

"Nonsense,it's a gift and you will keep it. If you don't then I won't talk to you anymore" Taehyung threatened him,making the younger shut his mouth,saying no more and accepting the expensive gift.

"Well,we have officially ended this thing now. Everyone please enjoy the meal and have fun. Thank you for participating in this,let's do it once again next year" Sooyoung should really be host in some tv show. The way she managed all this is incredible. She finally sat down as everybody thanked her and stuff. Going back to eating and drinking,just having fun.

"Phew that was hard. Now,you two,wanna explain what is going on?" Sooyoung asked them,making both for he boys exchange looks with eachother. She gave Taehyung the roses back too.

"Wanna elaborate more,Joy-sshi" Taehyung called her with respect,mocking her. She rolled her eyes and laughed it off.

"Fuck you, I mean both of you,you guys flirted infront of everyone just right now and you! Why were you so late? You know how upset Tae was?" Sooyoung scolded Jeongguk for being who apologised with a pity look in his eyes.

"I'm so sorry for being late guys and I'm so sorry for upsetting you hyung. Yoongi and Jin hyung both went without me,they would have took me with them but I forgot to tell them,so I came from subway which took a lot longer than expected which is pretty explanatory why. I also had to buy these flowers for hyungie because I remember him telling me how much he likes it and I'm really glad you liked it hyung" Jeongguk explained his situation which both of them understood. Taehyung chuckled.

"It's okay Gukkie,don't apologise and I love these so much so don't worry. I'm impressed if that's what you were tryna do" Taehyung says,following with a laugh. Jeongguk laughed a little nervously too because he hadn't planned this at all,he only bought these because that's all he could afford at the moment. He is glad he is broke now because he made his hyung happy.

"Yeah,now onto both of you. Please fill me in,what's is up?"

"I confessed" Taehyung blurted out,making Jeongguk blush a little. Sooyoung was so shocked,it was like someone had slapped her. Her mouth hang open and eyes wide,she suddenly chocked on her food,trying to get food pass by her neck,she took the glass filled with alcohol and drank it.

"What the fuck? Judging from these lowkey flirting I think it went good?" She assumed seeing both boys change strange looks.

"Not exactly? Jeongguk doesn't like me " Taehyung told her,he has no idea of what happened to them is good or bad. Jeongguk doesn't like him,that is bad but he wants to try to be with Taehyung and like him,that is good.

"What?!?"

"I want to try to like Taehyungie hyung,I know you won't get it but I want to be with Hyungie and I want to like him and I will do anything for it. I want to try this relationship out" Jeongguk tried to same but he just ball here in the bed.

"I have no idea what you are talking about,you don't like Taehyung but you want to like him and be with him?" Sooyoung repeated what she understood from the explanation. Coming from third person,it sounds kinda bad.

"Exactly"

"Wow,I need a moment. Well I'm rooting for both of you! And Guk,if you dare to hurt my Best friend,I won't be scared to hurt you" she threatened Jeongguk,who could not even dare to do that. He would hurt himself than hurt the precious boy sitting next to him.

Taehyung walked out of the pub with the precious flowers in his hand as everyone was going home now after just eating,drinking and enjoying themselves with their friends one last time as they go to their families for tomorrow. It was really cold outside,Taehyung shivered a little as he walked to his car,unlocking it. He suddenly felt someone touch him on his shoulder. He turned around and Saw Jeongguk.

"guk?"

"Hyung,are you going home?" He asked him politely.

"Yeah,why?"

"Can you give me a ride home? Both of the hyungs once again left without me" Jeongguk answered him,explaining why he needs the ride, Taehyung nod understandingly,
letting Jeongguk inside the car as he opened the door for him. The younger smiled and looked at the older again.

"It's okay if you c-"

"Gukkie it's okay,just get in. It's so cold outside" with that Jeongguk quickly got inside,not wanting to freeze outside Anyway. Taehyung went towards the driver seat and got inside the car too. Starting it so they can drive off.

"Thank you hyung"

"Anytime Gukkie,I really hope you can sleep tonight though" Taehyung said to him,making Jeongguk confused,wondering what he meant by that.

"Why will I not sleep tonight?" He questioned him,totally having no idea.

"Well since you were late,Jin hyung went first and then Yoongi hyung, Yoongi hyung got Jin hyung a promise ring,it was honestly so cute. You should have saw how shocked Jin hyung was,it was adorable so you bet they are going to dick down eachother tonight" Taehyung told him the reason why. Jeongguk noticed how happy the older was looking when he talked about them,hoping he could give that same happiness to Taehyung one day.

"What?! He gave him a promise ring? That's so cute what the fuck,Yoongi hyung didn't even told me. I am so happy for them,you are right but it's okay our rooms are that close with eachother and walls are soundproof so I think I can make it to the morning alive" Jeongguk expressed what he felt about the rings and how he is going to endure tonight. Taehyung laughed at what he said,trying to focus on driving.

"Good good"

"Can I connect the aux" Jeongguk asked Taehyung,who hummed as an response. The silence was a bit awkward so music will be nice. But what Jeongguk didn't expected was to his phone to play this song.

"HUMP ME! Fuck me! Daddy better make me choke,you better! Fuck me hump me,my tunnel loves a deep throat"

Taehyung burst out laughing,he covered his mouth with his hands,trying not to laugh too much but this situation was too funny. Jeongguk felt embarrassed as his cheeks heat up. He doesn't even have this on his playlist why the fuck did this played.

"That's a really nice song there Gukkie" Taehyung said after trying not to laugh. Jeongguk felt more embarrassed.

"This wasn't even in my playlist I don't know why it played" Jeongguk quickly changed the song to something he prefers. A ever soothing sound makes it ways to the car as the song the younger was on was really good. Both of the boys just bopping their heads and singing along to the songs he was putting and having a nice time overall.

"We are here,should I walk you to your apartment?" Taehyung asked Jeongguk as he was getting out of the car, Jeongguk looked back at Taehyung and shook his head.

"You don't have to,really" he said to him,trying not to be more of a burden on Taehyung.

"Well shit,because I'm going to walk you,let's go" Taehyung told him,getting out of the car too. He locked the car once he closed the door. Jeongguk gave up and walked to the entrance with Taehyung on his side.

Both of them were in the lobby,walking towards the elevator. They both waited some seconds for the elevator to come,it was almost midnight so elevator came earlier. Both of them got in,Jeongguk pressing the button to his floor.

"I really hope we don't run into Your hyungs fucking in the couch this time" Taehyung joked about it,remembering what happened last time. Jeongguk chuckled at his joke.

"I hope so too,talking about last time I'm glad you came,I can give you your shirt back,I washed it last night" Jeongguk told him about the shirt that he stained that day. Taehyung nodded as he remembered it,he literally forgot about that shirt.

"Oh yeah,I forgot about that. Well I don't have your hoodie now,when will you like to back?" Taehyung asked him when he should give Jeongguk hoodie back to him.

"Keep it please, it looked a lot better than you than it ever did on me. Take it as an apology for ruining your shirt" Jeongguk really wanted to Taehyung to keep it. Not because he wants him to keep it as 'apology' but because it genuinely looked really good on Taehyung. Just the sight of Taehyung in his clothes was wonderful.

"I cannot keep it,it's your gu-" Taehyung was interrupted but the elevator ding,which made both of them get out of it as Jeongguk leaded the way to his apartment. Reaching his apartment as Jeongguk took his keys out.

"Tae please keep it. I don't want to admit it,,but you look
a-alot cuter in my clothes" he admitted shyly,not really facing the older. Whose cheeks were tinted red. Jeongguk liked seeing him in his clothes,he wasn't expecting to hear that. Taehyung didn't know what to respond too so he just didn't.

They both got inside the apartment,thankfully this time there wasn't Yoongi or Jin in the couch making out. The door to Jin's room was closed,so it's pretty obvious what they are doing in there. Jeongguk sighed,thankfully he doesn't have to see his bestfriends fuck. He walked to his room and opened the door. Taehyung came in behind him,closing the door.

Jeongguk went to his closet and got Taehyung shirt out for him. He gave Taehyung that shirt as Taehyung mumbled a small thank you.

"No problem,since you are in home right now would you like anything to drink or something?" Jeongguk asked this guest,being polite host he is.

"Thank you so much but no,I should get going now...yeah bye I guess" Taehyung said to him,bidding goodbyes with eachother. Doesn't know what else to say to him.

They were both standing infront of eachother,just few inches apart,smiled plastered on both of their faces. Taehyung should go now but he isn't,he doesn't know what he wants but he just staring into Jeongguk eyes,which has the whole universe trapped in them. Jeongguk eyes are the most beautiful he has ever seen,the doe shaped eyes,how it sparkled whenever he looks at him is just so pure.

"Tae?"

"Oh yeah I should go sorry" Taehyung snapped out of his imaginations and shifted his gaze towards the door. He moved to the door but before he could reach for it he felt a grip around his hands.

He looked back and saw Jeongguk holding his wrist tightly not letting him. Taehyung was confused and to answer his confusing thoughts,Jeongguk pulled him back,making Taehyung stumble a little,again facing Jeongguk but this time,both of their bodies were pressing against eachother.

"Taehyung?"

"Hm?"

"You are so beautiful" the compliment made Taehyung heart flutter,just the tension around them and the aura of this room was too much for him already.

"Thank you bu-" Taehyung was interrupted by none other than Jeongguk as the younger smashed his lips against Taehyung,taking the older by surprise.

Jeongguk soft lips next to his fit in so perfectly. It felt so good kissing Jeongguk, he didn't expected this at all but he is not complaining,he is more than happy Jeongguk is kissing. He kissed back eventually after he calmed down by the shock. Their lips moved perfectly next to eachother.

Taehyung and Jeongguk,both felt this euphoric feeling in their chests. Butterflies erupting in their stomach, it felt more good than it should. Taehyung put his hand around Jeongguk shoulder,resting it,pulling him closer so he could feel all of him. Jeongguk hand's we're wrapped around Taehyung's petite waist,his hands caressing his backs,not leaving his lips for a second.

Jeongguk smiled into the kiss,can't believe he pulled this bold move but he is so glad he did this. Who knew Kim Taehyung tasted like heaven. Jeongguk asked for permission to enter Taehyung's mouth,which Taehyung let him. Jeongguk let his tongue enter older's mouth. Exploring his wet cavern,making Taehyung moan a little from the heated kiss. It wasn't even kissing now,they are straight up in a heated make out right now.

Hands all over eachother bodies and kissing eachother like their life depends on it. Just the lust of the moment got the best of it. It was perfect and nothing could ruin this moment.

Or was it too early to speak of that?

Just as they could go to the next stage,Taehyung felt his phone ring inside his pocket as his ringtone played. Both of boys immediately let go of eachother,swollen lips and messed up clothes. A tint of pink on both of their cheeks at what just happened. Taehyung took his phone out and saw the contact,it was his mom.

"Sorry,it's my mom" Taehyung muttered to Jeongguk and distanced himself from him and went to a side. Jeongguk nodded understandingly and sat down of his bed,brushing his back with his hands and sighing because wow,that was the best kiss he ever had.

"Hello Mom?"

"Taetae, honey you will be here tomorrow for Christmas right?" His mom asked him from the other side.

"Yes mom,I should be asking you that though,Are you and dad going to be present?" Taehyung asked as previous holidays flashed in his mind,his parents were always really busy for them so he doesn't expect them to attend any holiday anymore.

"Yes Ofcourse,you know how me and your dad are so busy that's why we didn't attend-" Taehyung cut off his mom from speaking because he knows what she is going to say.

"Yes I know mom,sorry yeah I will be there. Is that it?"

"Yeah,love you baby,take good care of yourself,see you tomorrow,your sister is really excited to see you"

"I really know she isn't mom but thanks for saying that,love you too,see you too,byee~" Taehyung hung up the phone,putting back inside his pants pocket. Taking a deep breath and walking back.

"Sorry for that"

"Huh?" Taehyung asked,wondering why is Jeongguk apologising.

"..the kiss" Jeongguk mumbled.

"You call that a kiss?? Sir,you were going to eat me alive there,that was so hot,would do it again if you ask me too. Why are you apologising for that,I liked it,didn't you?" Taehyung asked him back,looking at him,curiosity having his best.

"I liked it more than I should"

"Oh"

"Yeah...do you want to stay over?" Jeongguk asked him,standing up infront of him once again.

"No,I need to go to my parents house early tomorrow so I don't want to disturb you so I should get going" Taehyung smiled politely as a response as he took the shirt in his hands,walking towards the door.

"Taehyung wait! Are you mad at me?" Jeongguk took his hand,making himself stop.

"No why would I be?" Taehyung answered his question.

"Oh,I d-don't know,sorry I just.." Jeongguk doesn't know what to say,he doesn't know what he wants to say to the boy. Taehyung smiled and walked back to Jeongguk and placed a kiss on his cheek.

"Goodnight Gukkie" with that,he exited Jeongguk's room. Leaving him alone with his conflicted thoughts.
