21: Annoyed
Ignore mistakes, please
Third person P.O.V
"Pl- please stay"
Jin smiled at his words looking at Jimin who was beyond surprised.. and Taehyung? He himself was surprised by his own action, finding the situation he can't help but do that. Reminding himself how that blond saved him from that pervert last night and even before.
"Are you sure?" Jimin blinked, hesitated and Taehyung nodded, loosening his grip on Jimin's sleeve. Jimin glanced over at Jin who also nodded and encouraged him to come back. Bewildered, he again gazed up at Taehyung who was silently looking down.
"I just don't want to make you uncomfortable. It's ok, um- you just rest." He stated, noticing that Taehyung didn't respond much.
"Don't you want to be friends?" Taehyung blurted out but his eyes widened at the realization of what he actually said. Jimin's face was almost the same.
"I- I mean. Jin Hyung is like your friend. He must be sad if you don't.. you know." Blabbering unknowingly, Taehyung avoided eye contact. Jimin just nodded and walked to the dining table where a smiling Jin welcomed him again.
"Finally you are back. Now eat properly... you too, Tae." His brotherly instincts came back with a warm smile and both youngers just nodded, avoiding each other's eyes.
The rest of the breakfast was silent as Taehyung was feeling awkward due to his blabbering earlier while Jimin was feeling puzzled by his blabbering. Jin was getting impatient by the thick silence so here we go...
"WHAT.. Are you guys are mourning on that slightly burnt bacon? Or you are trying to suffocate me with this thick silence?" Jin huffed and slammed his fork on the table a little harshly, the level of drama was his specialty.
Jimin looked up with his mouthful of food and doe eyes but again, Taehyung didn't respond much.
"Come on hyung. You should be happy that we are tamed enough. And this is counted as manners." Jimin replied sarcastically with a sly smirk and Taehyung looked up when Jin snickered at the comment.
"Now you telling me that I am not well-mannered?" He said with a fake smile and Jimin chuckled while sipping on the juice.
"You just said it by yourself Hyung." The blond shrugged his shoulders playfully.
"Yah! I am the eldest one you should respect me." Jin gasped dramatically and Taehyung looked up at him when Jimin muttered the following words.
"Yes, and you are looking old enough."
"WHAT?" Jin huffed, quite offended, but again a bit dramatic, and the next thing was gleeful giggles that filled the room. Both males looked up at the brunet who was laughing wholeheartedly, pointing towards Jin's face.
Jimin was frozen on his spot... he heard the laughter for the very first time and it was so pure.. so cute, so soothing. On the contrary, Jin was a little confused and traced his fingers over his face.
"Is something on my face?" Jin whispered to Jimin who didn't notice his voice.. too busy adoring the boy who was laughing in front of him.
Jin rolled his eyes in annoyance at the lack of attention, but soon Taehyung got up from his seat and took his napkin to wipe Jin's nose which was shining red due to strawberry jam proudly stuck there.
He showed the napkin to Jin who felt embarrassed and his ears turned red. This caused Taehyung to laugh more. Hearing those soft giggles, Jin was feeling so happy to see him like that. It was like the first time he saw him laughing so genuinely, and he felt proud to make him laugh.
"You eat like a child hyung," Taehyung commented after stopping his uncontrollable laughter.
"I am a child," Jin said with a mischievous smile and Jimin was brought back to reality when Taehyung spoke.
"Woah! A moment ago you said you are the eldest one and now you are calling yourself a child. Tch tch.. so bad hyung." Now it was the turn for Jimin to sound dramatic, squinting his eyes.
Taehyung just shook his head, taking the last bite of food, a small smile still on his lips.
"Whatever. Umm.. Jim, you are free today right?" Jin asked Jimin who raised his brow.
"Jim? Seriously?"
"Yeah, it's short. Any problem?"
"No no. It's new. And yeah I am free after all it's Sunday.. Yay~" Jimin smiled like a happy child, waving his hand in excitement.
"Good. So Tae, we are going on a picnic today." Jin announced with finality, wiping his hands on his napkins.
"But Hyung.. our restaurant is open on Sundays." Taehyung frowned a bit surprised.
"Yeah but today I gave off to all waiters. They worked hard yesterday night and they all need rest.. including me." Jin informed and regretted mentioning the last night when Taehyung's face fell in deep sadness in an instant.
"Ok ok. I am in. Where will we go?" Jimin chirped to lessen the sadness of the brunet.
"I am not in the mood, hyung," Taehyung whispered slowly.. getting up from his chair.
"For me Tae.. please. It's been a long since I have had an outing with family." Jin muttered in a soft voice laced with sadness and Taehyung couldn't deny it any further, family was always his weak point.
"F- fine."

"Sir.. see the boy. I think he will be perfect for our upcoming event. I took this photo in the club last night, um- without his consent but I swear he looked ethereal and I am sure he wasn't wearing makeup." The tall man informed his boss who was standing beside a colossal sculpture, admiring the art but when he gazed down at the phone and saw the brunet sitting so perfectly while taking a sip from the glass, he ditched everything else, no doubt the boy was ethereal.
"He is so beautiful. Name?" The man in a skin coat asked, still boring his eyes on the screen.
"Um. Don't know. I just gave him our business card. Maybe he would come.. though he said he is not interested." The same man replied with a little disappointment.
"I am sure.. he will come." The boss smiled widely, looking at the pictures.
"Send me these," He ordered his manager who quickly compiled.

Jungkook woke up with a slight headache. He felt someone laying on the couch. Remembering the last night he scrunched his nose in disgust. He did that again but this time he wasn't feeling like he used to feel before. Instead, he felt some heaviness in his heart and dropped the idea to go any further, just getting drunk with the girl he once met in a club. Getting up from the bed, he made his way to the bathroom to freshen up.
"Get up and leave when you are done." He shook the girl who rubbed her eyes in irritation but did as told.
"I need to freshen up my mind too." Once the girl was gone, Jungkook mumbled, taking his car keys to go on a drive. Without his realization he drove to the festival he came to with Taehyung to find some peace of mind.
°○°○°○°○°○°○°○°○°
"Hyung?" Taehyung asked with confusion when Jin stopped the car in front of a very familiar place.
"What? I am sure you will like it. I heard this festival is gonna last till next month. This would be fun Tae." He said as he dragged Taehyung with him while Jimin also came behind them after parking his own car.
Taehyung felt a sudden rush of memories... those memories he want to bury deep down but he couldn't. They walked past many stalls where Jungkook stopped and bought things for him and it was only a painful memory now.
"Oh.. it looks yummy. Let's taste it." Jin exclaimed, snapping out Taehyung from his trance and again dragging him towards a food stall.
Jimin noticed the tension on Taehyung's face but remained silent. After tasting different snacks they made their way to the various stalls, including the antique jewelry stall.
"Wow, this looks so fabulous. See, Tae it will suit you." Jin looked very amazed, tracing his fingers over a bracelet.
"I don't want anything hyung. Thanks." Taehyung mumbled while looking at the ground, not wanting to recall it all more clearly.
Jimin found a beautiful bracelet with craving love on it. The piece was so beautiful that he just thought of Taehyung and quickly bought that without getting notified by the other two males.
They spent a little time more as Jin was so much fascinated by the arts. The shopkeeper was staring at Taehyung with great concern and Jimin felt so bothered about that but before he could say anything, the man started.
"You are the same person who liked that pendant." The shopkeeper said amused and Taehyung felt like his heart dropped because that person recognized him.
"What do you mean?" Jin asked with raised brows.
"Let's go hyung." Taehyung tried to walk away but that man spoke up again.
"Oh, that beautiful lad here came with another handsome boy week ago maybe. He liked an expensive pendant and his boyfriend bought that for him secretly. So sweet. Do you still have it?" Man asked with a smile and Taehyung lost it.
"HE ISN'T MY BOYFRIEND!" He burst out in anger, his fists were shaking and Jimin took the hint that it was all about Jungkook.
"Um, I think we should go now," Jimin whispered to Jin who was so much confused but agreed when seeing Taehyung so much angry. Once they walked away enough from the stall, Jin grabbed Taehyung's hand gently.
"You shouldn't be angry. I don't know what is bothering you but it's ok. You are not alone, I am with you, every time you need me." Taking hold of the younger's hand, Jin assured him with a smile and Taehyung nodded, hugging him gently to feel assured as well.
Jimin was getting annoyed by the thought that Taehyung was here with Jungkook and must have a good time but that night he insulted him with the worst words. How could he do that to a person like Taehyung?
Jin managed to take Taehyung to some rides and they took them together. They sat on the Ferris wheel, Taehyung in the center while Jimin and Jin were on both sides because he looked scared.
Whenever the ride went up, Taehyung felt nervous and grabbed the closest thing that was soft but he just grabbed it more tightly whenever he felt something in his stomach... his eyes were closed.
Jin was so busy enjoying the beautiful scenery outside that he didn't notice what was happening beside him.
On the other hand, Jimin was just focused on Taehyung and felt like his breath stopped when Taehyung suddenly shut his eyes and grabbed his hand, first softly but turning a little bit tighter.
Oh.. how much he wanted to grab those soft hands, caress the back, and entangle his fingers with those cylinder ones. But he stopped himself, just wanted to enjoy the warmth till it lasts. He never turned his head to see outside, not for once... so much immersed in enjoying the beautiful view beside him so why look anywhere else. A small smile was adorned on his lips when Taehyung bit his lip to suppress his scream.
The whole ride was so much fun till Jin saw Taehyung's expressions and started to make fun of him. The most shocking thing was the brunet wasn't angry but embarrassed to the extent that his cheeks were glowing pink.
"Aww, you are blushing Tae.. oh God. You are so cute." Jin cooed, pinching Taehyung's cheeks who only whined and rushed away from the older ones once they stepped down the ride.
"Oh see... let's dance." Jin again beamed in excitement when he saw the dance stall and went there.
In the next moment, both Jimin and Taehyung burst into laughter when Jin started throwing his legs and arms here and there randomly making the view so funny. Jimin took out his phone to record the video for later.. course perfect material to blackmail the other.
Their laughter grew more when Jin dragged both of them onto the stage and they all danced, more like laughing at the masterpieces they created right at the moment. Jimin showed his talent but Taehyung wasn't moving much.. he was clapping while laughing. But suddenly Jin smirked and pushed Taehyung to Jimin's hand, luckily the blond grabbed him a little awkwardly.
"Let's cheer up for them," Jin screamed in excitement and clapped with the people gathered around them all.
"Dance. Dance. Dance." People started chanting, both males were standing still. Jimin felt his heart thumping loudly when Taehyung looked up and finally started moving a little.
"For him," Taehyung mumbled, proceeding a little and Jimin felt a little pang that he was doing so because of Jin not because he trusted him.. but still he tried to find happiness with the fact that he was holding him.
"Sure." The blond smiled back, pushing back the slight pang and focusing more on the good things.
"Why I drove here?" Jungkook muttered but nonetheless, came out of the car. It was good weather for such kind of outing so he entered the area.
He also got flashbacks of how he spent the day with Taehyung and a smile formed on his lips.
"It was fun."
Shaking his head, he kept walking, looking at different stalls while munching on a snack he had bought. He stopped by that same shop of jewelry, feet halting on their own.
"Oh. You are also here. But you two are separate today or do you want to surprise him?" The shopkeeper said wiggling his brows and Jungkook frowned.
"I saw your boyfriend with two other handsome males. They just went there." He pointed toward the direction and Jungkook took the cue, he even didn't retort upon hearing the word boyfriend.. strange.
He rushed to the side and found them coming out of the Ferris wheel. Taehyung was still blushing and looked downwards but felt a little awkward when he found Jimin beside him, continuously looking at him with hearty eyes.
Jungkook saw them going to the dancefloor and clenched his jaw when Jimin danced with Taehyung. Taehyung was slowly moving, hands placed on Jimin's shoulder as Jimin's hands were sneaked around that feminine waist. He shouldn't have felt like that, but he felt it again, he felt his blood boiling at the sight, he felt annoyed and his body itched to do something which he did.
"Now that blond is annoying me." Clenching his fists, Jungkoook muttered and started walking towards them.
