"What's the matter with him?" Jungkook asks Hoseok as soon as he plops down the booth. The football team had just finished practice and the raven haired male is in deep crisis with his stomach right now. He needs to eat, but he can't help noticing his small friend across the table.

Jimin is seated back at the booth after that embarrassing encounter with Yoongi. He's in a state wherein his forehead is against the table's surface, occasionally bumping it while groaning and muttering things the other two cannot understand.

"He just got himself in a series of unfortunate events in the last 30 minutes of his life." Hoseok answered nonchalantly, and with a small frown.

Jungkook raised an eyebrow, curious about what happened but he's so hungry that all he cares is his growling stomach right now. As if on cue, Taehyung is rushing towards their table clutching a mini pad and a pen.

"Hi Jung-Jungkook. What do you want to order?" Taehyung asks, eyes fixed on his pad.

"Hey Tae, can I order a bacon pizza? And a large coke." Jungkook answered.

"That's all?"

Jungkook nodded and gave a warm smile at Taehyung. The brunette's cheeks got warm and red, so he just quickly went back to the kitchen to place the order.

The raven haired male's attention was once again turned to the groaning mochi in front of him, who was bumping his head lightly on the table.

"Stop it Jiminie, you're gonna hurt your head." Hoseok scolded, but with a tinge of worry in his tone.

Still, Jimin just ignored him.

"Is he gone mad?" Jungkook asked his other friend again, now intrigued by how Jimin is acting.

Hoseok huffs and answered. "I don't know with him. He met this Yoongi dude just minutes ago, and he just went pabo all the way. He followed the guy to the restroom, then served his drink, the next minute I just saw him falling on the floor crying. Jimin is very no fun!"

Jungkook wants to laugh at his friend's failure, but he sees the miserable face of Jimin so he refrains himself. But then, he wants to tease the small guy, and he ended up laughing loudly like a maniac. "Hyung really? Who's that Yoongi anyway?"

"Oh its just Taehyung's best friend. The one with a forever resting bitch face. How the heck did you find interest in him Jimin-ah?" Hoseok said saltily, which Jungkook finds it also weird since he arrived. Also he remembers Taehyung speaking highly of this particular hyung, there must be a reason Jimin finds him interesting.

"So you like Tae's best friend?" Jungkook asks this time as his laugh has already subsided.

Jimin just made a movement that shows he's nodding, his forehead still against the table. Jungkook hears Hoseok scoff beside him. The raven head was about to ask when Taehyung arrived with a tray of pizza.

The brunette quietly places the food on the table and silently turns around to go back but he hears Jungkook call him.

"We'll wait for you after your shift. We'll walk with you to the bus station, if its okay with you?"

"Why?" Taehyung asks, wondering why Jungkook is all out nice to him again.

The raven head just scratch the back of his neck and answered sheepishly. "Nothing. Is it bad to hang out with a friend?"

Taehyung's shoulders slumped at that, of course. But he tried to not look disappointed and nodded with a smile.

Jungkook grins happily as his eyes followed Taehyung's figure walk back to the kitchen. He doesn't know why he feels giddy all of a sudden, so he just ignores it. He turns his head back to look at his pizza and ready to devour it, but was greeted with 3 slices left out of 8.

Jungkook was left speechless at the state of his pizza. He looks at his two hyungs happily and quickly munching a pizza. Jimin is holding two in both hands with one on his plate, like he was not in a sad mood awhile ago. Hoseok munching one and another also on his plate.

"Yah! My pizza!" The youngest wailed. He frantically shoves all the remaining pizza on his plate and shields it from his hyungs.

Jimin finished one slice and bites another. "Thish ish sho good. Thanksh Kook!"

"I didn't give you permission to eat my pizza hyung!" Jungkook said devastated.

"How do you feel now? That your food's being stolen?" Jimin retorts back, smirking.

Jungkook is speechless once again, stunned by how Jimin's mood quickly changed. He now clearly understands that his hyungs had seen an opportunity to take revenge.

+++

Jungkook cursed in his head as he looks at his two hyungs walking away. The two had excused themselves to go ahead because of dance practice again and cannot wait for Taehyung. So the youngest was left alone sitting on the booth waiting for the said brunette to finish fixing his things.

After they ate my pizza, this is how they repay me? Jungkook huffs. Suddenly feeling nervous about the fact that he will be alone with Taehyung. This is the first time that he will be spending time with the said male after everything. He didn't know why he's feeling like that though, but he shrugs it off.

A few minutes after, Taehyung walks out from the locker room and goes straight to Jungkook. The two walked out the place in silent agreement and Jungkook never felt so awkward before.

The walk to the bus stop isn't that long, but they find themselves walking in a slower pace, feeling the cold wind brush their faces and admiring some things from the stores they passed by. They made small talk from time to time.

There is one store that stopped Jungkook from walking, and that made the brunette halt too. They stared at the plushies displayed through the glass, and Jungkook is eyeing one.

It is an Iron Man plushie, the first one Jungkook had ever seen since he had only figures in his room. He also remembered Yugyeom liking Iron Man after watching the movie with him, so maybe he can buy two plushies. He mentally noted the name of the store and go back there when he has time to buy it, not even worrying about the price.

Little did the raven head know, the male beside him is observing him, and Taehyung notices how Jungkook's face lights up at the sight of the plushie. He has no idea what the younger is thinking at the moment but it is clear as day that the raven head likes the plushie, and the amount of visits to Jungkook's room and noticing his collection of Iron Man in one corner is enough evidence.

Both boys started to walk away from the store, now with subtle smiles on their faces. And each with a silent promise to oneself to buy the plushie.

+++

As soon as Taehyung arrived home, he quickly greeted his grandma, gave her the food he brought, and excused himself quickly to go to his room. He finds his precious piggy bank and looks at it, contemplating if he should break it. He should be saving for his future in case he couldn't get a scholarship at the university.

But his mind drifted to Jungkook's smile while looking at the Iron Man plushie and he had this sudden urge to give the boy all the happiness in the world. He knows he is not rich, but just this once, he wants something from him that Jungkook could keep.

He then remembers the raven head's birthday this weekend and he thinks that this may be a perfect gift for the younger. He smiles and takes in a sharp breath before breaking the piggy bank on the floor with a loud crash and hundreds of coins and bills scattered along. Okay, It's just a plushie, it won't cost that much.

Taehyung suddenly heard a knock on his door. "Tae Tae dear? What's happening there?" Granny asked, slightly worried what's the commotion inside her grandson's bedroom.

Taehyung panicked and thinks of a reason quickly. "Uhmm I knocked a picture frame Granny! Don't worry I'll clean this up."

"You sure dear? Want me to help you?"

"No no! Its okay Granny! I'm okay." He answered back.

"Okay just don't get yourself hurt again." Then Taehyung heard his grandma's foot steps walking away. Sighing in relief, he finds a pouch wherein he can keep the money and bring it tomorrow to buy the plushie. He'll just put extra effort in his studying to make sure he will get that scholarship.

He then reminds himself to talk to Jimin and Hoseok tomorrow. He would finally agree to go Jungkook's birthday this weekend.

+++

Taehyung is now walking through the hall ways to find Jimin and Hoseok. Classes had already ended and Jungkook ran off for football practice. He spots the short male walking alone towards the gate and Taehyung wonders where is Hoseok, since the two are almost inseparable.

He jogs to Jimin and the said male finally notices him and smiles.

"Hey Jimin, where's Hoseok?"

Jimin's smile falters a bit and then became an irritated frown at the mention of his friend. "He left me actually. I don't understand what's with him these days, but he walked out on me. He freakin walked out on me! We were fine when we were practicing earlier, and I don't know if I said something wrong but he just left me there at the practice room, not even looking back."

Taehyung blinks at the shorter male's words. These two rarely gets into an argument that's why the brunette must have been surprised. And Hoseok is one of the angels he had met, he can't imagine him being angry.

"What could possibly make Hoseok hyung that mad?" Taehyung asks.

"I don't know. Forget about it. I'm not guilty of anything and I will not talk to him if he won't." Jimin stubbornly states as they started walking.

"Don't say that Jiminie. I'm sure Hoseok hyung has his reason."

Jimin walks in silence first, Taehyung wonders if he hadn't heard him. But then, Jimin replies. "I wish he could tell me why he's been treating me like this."

Taehyung smiles sympathetically. "I'm sure he will. "

Jimin nods and continues to walk in silence again, and Taehyung is not so used with him being this way.

"Jiminie?"

"Yeah?"

"Am I still invited to the party?"

"Of course. Why? You're going?"

"Uhmm yeah.."

Then Taehyung takes back what he said about Jimin being silent as the shorter guy literally jumped with a loud, "yey finally!!"

Taehyung chuckled at his reaction and they plan on where to meet and that Hoseok will bring a car.

"Oh anyway, where are you going?" Jimin suddenly asks.

"I'm going to Yoongi hyung--"

"Let's go!" Jimin suddenly blurted out. The short male then grabs Taehyung's hand drags him out the campus, not even minding the wrong direction they're headed to.

Taehyung let's himself be dragged even in his baffled state, wondering why Jimin is acting like this. "...uhh, Jimin. Yoongi hyung's studio is this way."

+++

"You again?!" Yoongi yelled as soon as he opened the door of his studio.

"Hi hyung!" Jimin cheerfully greeted and pushed himself inside the place. "I bought you a smoothie!"

Yoongi groaned and glared at the small guy, then at Taehyung.

"Who told you to come here?" The pale one coldly asked Jimin.

Jimin placed the smoothie at the table and chuckled, thinking about how had Hobi described the man with a forever resting bitch face. "No one. But I'm here to invite you to Jungkook's birthday this weekend."

Yoongi raised an eyebrow. "As if I'm gonna go. Nice try kid." Then went back sitting on his chair.

Jimin turned to Taehyung helplessly. "Tae help me!"

"Uhmm, we can go together hyung. It'll be fun.." Taehyung said, not so sure, because he knows how his hyung would react to this.

"I'm not going and I don't give a shit whoever birthday is that. We're not even friends, why am I going? Tsk" Yoongi answered, making up his mind.

Jimin gets the smoothie again. "Come on hyung. We're friends! And I planned this so I can invite who I want!"

"Why are you inviting me? We're not even close." Yoongi sighs. Taehyung just kept quiet and decided not to intervene.

"Hyung, please! It'll be fun! I talked to Hoseok hyung about it. He didn't answer me yet but I bet he would also agree!" Jimin loudly insists.

"Aish so noisy." Yoongi rolled his eyes and just ignored the whining male.

"Hyung I even bought you this smoothie to agree with me!" Jimin then not so gracefully shoves the smoothie in front of Yoongi's face, not noticing the lid is not tightly capped, and resulting to splash some of it to the frowning oldest.

Jimin gasps as he realized what he'd done, and also a same scared reaction from Taehyung. He watched in horror how Yoongi closed his eyes looking pissed while the cold liquid trickled slowly down his cheeks. The older takes in a deep breath, looking like he's gonna explode.

The short male panicked and frantically finds a tissue. As soon as he finds it, he wipes the tissues across Yoongi's face, that made the said male jerk away.

"What are you doing?!" Yoongi is now yelling, he can't take the short male's presence anymore.

"I'm wiping your face. Don't move!" Jimin answered back worried about the look the older is giving him.

But Yoongi didn't listen. He continues to thrash around Jimin's hold since he wants to stay away from the younger, while Jimin tries his best to hold Yoongi's face and wipes at the corner of his eyes. All this time, Taehyung is just staring at them.

But alas, to Jimin's misfortune, Yoongi got his left eye poked by a finger of the shorter male, because of his excessive movements. Causing for the older male to push him hard and Jimin went falling on the floor.

"Fuck!" Yoongi cursed aloud while clutching his eye. This time Taehyung runs to his hyung's aid and takes a look at the injured eye.

Jimin was stunned by everything. He can't believe that he just added something to his list of unfortunate events with Yoongi. He just stared wide eyed at the guy who was clutching his left swollen eye and shouting profanities. He slowly stands up and nears the oldest but he flinched when Yoongi shouted at him again.

"Don't come near me again! Fuck you!" Yoongi's eye is watery and swollen red. But it didn't lessen the intensity of fire in his eyes. Jimin felt something pinched his heart and it hurt.

Jimin is about to continue coming close but this time Taehyung looks at him in the eyes with sympathy. And he just mouthed, "Go. I'll handle this."

So the short male just runs out the studio with tears threatening to fall from his eyes. No, he won't cry in front of Min Yoongi again. Not for the second time around.
