"Jimin? What are you doing here?"

Yoongi asked surprised when he saw the said male sitting at the pavement, head buried in his arms, outside their house. It was already pretty late and Jimin is still wearing a suit.

The older just came back from the studio, just finished writing a song after a week, and he doesn't want to deal with the younger's immature acts right now.

But then, he was stopped from his thoughts of yelling at Jimin to go home when the boy lifted his head. It was dark, but he can see something wet illuminated by the moon on Jimin's face. The younger looked at Yoongi in relief after seeing him.

"Hyung.. I.. I..was waiting for you.."

"What do you want?" Yoongi didn't mean for it to come out harshly, but the younger lowered his head, slightly scared at the older's face.

Yoongi sighed. He slowly walked towards Jimin and sat next to him, and that made Jimin face him in surprise. "Okay tell me what's the problem." He said gently this time.

Jimin felt his throat lock at a loss of words. He doesn't know if he's just intimidated, or because from his stomach doing backflips. Well, Yoongi is sitting near him and he can see the guy's face closer and clearer.

"And why are you alone? Where are the others? Where's Hoseok?"

That made Jimin look away. The face of his heart broken best friend flashed once again in his eyes. And the kiss. He squeezed his eyes shut to erase it from his memory.

"Hey.. You okay?" Yoongi asked once again. Slightly worried for the younger's quiet state. He's not used to Jimin being serious and sad. Although he finds the younger annoying sometimes, he was used to seeing him always smiling, and having tears on his face doesn't suit him.

"Jimin.." He called once again.

The said male finally looked at him, tears flooding his eyes. That made Yoongi reach out his hand to the younger's face and wipe some tears with his thumb. Jimin was slightly shocked at the action, but he pretended not to mind.

Jimin continued to sniff and pout, and he just let Yoongi wipe his tears for awhile, enjoying the moment while it lasts. He realized having the pale one's touches are making him feel good in a some sort of funny way.

Yoongi smiled subtly at Jimin looking so cute pouting. Yes, he just said cute. He already finds the younger cute since day one, but of course he would never tell him that.

"H-hyung, H-hoseok hyung said he likes me.." Jimin finally let out.

Yoongi stopped moving his hand. He already knew that since he can see how Hoseok was acting around Jimin. The guy was so obvious and he wonders why Jimin can't see it. Yoongi already sensed the guy's feelings but why was he still feeling surprised?

He continued his motions again, but this time, only stroking Jimin's cheek gently. He didn't say anything.

"Then h-he kissed me.."

That stopped Yoongi again, and really this time, the hand that was not on Jimin's face clenched into a fist. He didn't expect that, considering the guys are bestfriends. He didn't even realize that his knuckles are turning white from clenching too tightly.

"Did you like it?" The older asked softly, slightly gritting his teeth.

"N-no. I-i never wanted to k-kiss him. But I hurt him hyung! I can't return his feelings. He must b-be mad right now..I pushed him away! I just can't kiss him..I don't see him that way.." Jimin said, tears falling again.

"Its not your fault Jimin. Don't blame yourself." Yoongi said, confused for feeling relief in his chest when Jimin said he doesn't like Hoseok back.

"And I ran all the way here after that. I-i felt like I needed to see you. To feel your presence. I love Hoseok hyung, but only as a friend and it felt wrong back there with him. H-hyung, I feel safe now in here." Jimin mumbled slowly looking down, avoiding Yoongi's eyes.

"I'm s-sorry hyung. I know you don't like me, but I do like you. I know I annoy you, and you always push me away, but please just this once..let me in." Jimin continued while still sniffling.

Yoongi now is utterly confused as to why he felt like smiling and his heart skipping a beat. He has the sudden urge to pull Jimin closer and embrace him, all his irritation and annoyance disappearing. He felt touched actually at how this kid is always determined to get his attention.

"Come here."

Then as Jimin lifted his gaze, he can't believe the sight that greeted him. It was Yoongi smiling genuinely at him, eyes soft and arms welcoming for his embrace. "Let's get inside, yeah?"

So Jimin didn't think twice and indulge into the warmth that is Min Yoongi.

Many days passed and Taehyung couldn't be more overwhelmed in dating the school's popular guy.

Winter break is fast approaching, and in school, students are quickly finishing student responsibilities, including Taehyung and Jungkook.

But now, something has changed.

Jungkook doesn't dread coming to school now, and both him and Taehyung felt happier and more inspired in everything they do. They are still seatmates and that made them closer. Sometimes, Jungkook would hold Taehyung's hand in his and would steal kisses on his cheek, and Taehyung would leave the classroom at the end of the day looking flustered.

Both became the couple that students always talk about. And students envy Taehyung because how could an ordinary and weird guy made Jungkook fall for him? That remained a mystery for everyone and they won't stop making up stories on how the two ended together again.

That morning on Music class, Jungkook and Taehyung are sitting at the back, their seats have been moved closer. While waiting for the teacher to arrive, Taehyung concentrates to finish the last verse of his song, while Jungkook lays his head sideways on his folded arms at the top of the brunette's table. The younger stayed still while staring at Taehyung's face.

Taehyung who was trying to concentrate, felt conscious all of a sudden. Take note, he was trying to concentrate since the raven head kept on staring. He won't finish this song if this beautiful man won't stop right now.

"Uhm..Kookie, aren't you finishing your song?"

Jungkook smiled at the brunette's flustered face. He felt proud he have this effect to the older. "I'm done actually."

"Oh."

Jungkook didn't move still. He just continued his staring hobby.

Taehyung adjusted his glasses, and tried again. "Uhm.. I'm finishing my song and I-i can't concentrate when you're s-staring at me like that.."

Jungkook chuckled softly, his eyes looking amused. He then slowly straightened up his position and sat properly at his chair this time. Taehyung secretly exhaled in relief, trying to calm his heart.

The brunette went to concentrate again to his song, and as he was writing the lyrics, he felt someone breathing on his neck. He looked again to his side and was shocked to see Jungkook was leaning closer, trying to peek at what he was writing.

He covered his paper on instinct, afraid that the raven head would see it.

"Hey, I'm not done reading it."

"No you can't read it." Taehyung answered.

Jungkook whined cutely. "Why~" then he pouted his pretty lips and gave his puppy look.

"Please don't give me that look." Taehyung gulped, because he's weak for cute Kookie.

"But I want to." Jungkook continued to pout more and made a move to grab Taehyung's notebook.

But thank god, Taehyung has a quick reflex. He pulled his notebook away just in time. "No. Please. At least let me just finish this first."

Jungkook sighed and stopped reaching for the notebook. "Okay."

Taehyung thought Jungkook looked upset, and he doesn't want to make the younger look sad, so he said, "I promise I will show it to you if its done, Kookie."

Jungkook's face lightens up. "Sure thing, baby."

Mr. Zhang arrived just in time before Taehyung's face became completely red at the sound of the endearment. Jungkook had called him baby before, but this time, it felt real.

"Class, I have a good news for you." Mr. Zhang announced.

Taehyung and Jungkook paid attention to the teacher, as well as the students. The older one praying that the deadline of submission of the lyrics will be moved since his song is still not done.

"Since finals are coming, the project I assigned you about writing a song will be graded as your final exam."

Taehyung's ears perked at that. Thank God for answering his prayers.

"In short, you will no longer take a written exam, just pass the song project I asked of you on the day of the finals."

Cheers of happiness and relief flooded the classroom since almost half of the class aren't ready to pass their composition. Taehyung grinned widely at that and he felt like hugging Mr. Zhang right now.

"BUT--"

The whole classroom suddenly became silent. Their hearts stopped because what does their teacher want them to do now?

"You should pass to me a completed song; with lyrics and melody. You can use an instrument you want or use the school's studio so that you can record your song using your voice or anyone you find fit to do it. Got it?"

Now students looked worried because the simple project had become complicated. Some of them can't even play a damn instrument, or some can't even sing.

Taehyung is thinking deeply as to how he would finish his own song. Then he heard Jungkook groaning beside him. He turned to look at the frowning younger.

"Don't worry about it, Kookie. We will find a way to finish these songs."

"Its not that..." Jungkook looked disappointed.

"What is it?"

"Does this mean I have to wait for finals to listen to your song?" Then he sighed.

Taehyung just smiled. Don't worry Kookie. I'll make this beautiful just for you. I promise it will be worth it.

The bell rang signaling for the end of classes. Both boys walked out the classroom, excited to go to the newly opened ramen house few blocks away from school. They agreed to have a simple date after class, just enough to relieve some stress from school.

They were happily chatting, not noticing a foot sticking out of Taehyung's path. Taehyung continued to listen to Jungkook, but both didn't have time to react when suddenly, the brunette trips on the foot blocking his way and lands painfully on the ground.

He hissed in pain as his arms that held his weight began to sting. He looked around for the culprit, and he saw Jonghyun laughing along with the students.

Jungkook snapped from shock and ran quickly to Taehyung's aid and helped him stand up. "You okay?"

Taehyung just nodded slowly, looking embarrassed at the situation he was in. He can't look around because he felt like crying when he can see the students laughing at him.

"That's what you get for being a wimp!" Jonghyun shouts and laughed maniacally.

Taehyung felt Jungkook's hold tighten around him and his jaw clenching.

"Wait here." Then before Taehyung could realize it, Jungkook was no longer holding him but was walking straight to Jonghyun.

"Wasn't that funny?" Jonghyun breathlessly asked the raven head. He was still laughing loudly that he had tears in his eyes. He didn't notice Jungkook's grim expression.

Then suddenly, his laughter was broken off when Jungkook grabbed his uniform collar harshly and slams him forcefully into a nearby locker. All students gasped, surprised and scared at what was happening.

"What's your problem huh?" Jungkook said through gritted teeth. His nose flaring from controlling his anger.

Jonghyun didn't have the courage to answer, or to say anything at the least. He gulped his saliva, legs shaking from the sudden turn of events.

"Why do you keep on making fun of Taehyung? What did he do to you?" Jungkook's tone was calm and quiet, but, there's a hint of danger underneath.

"Answer me!" Jungkook slammed Jonghyun again, but this time, he puts more force since he's getting angrier.

"M-mommy.." Jonghyun suddenly blurted out, teary eyed and lower lip jutting out.

Jungkook was already pissed off and he readies himself to punch that stupid face, but then a hand softly holds his arm.

"Kookie, please don't do this. He's not worth it." Taehyung softly said to the younger.

"But you're hurt, Tae! He needs to learn his lesson!"

Taehyung shakes his head gently and pulled the maknae's arms off Jonghyun. "Stop now Kookie. The teachers will get mad if they found out about this. Now let's go?"

"Yeah, listen to your boyfriend." Jonghyun mumbled but Jungkook heard it. The raven head slammed him again into the locker and the poor guy pathetically whimpered.

"Listen here you idiot, be thankful that I still have some sense to spare you, but if I find out that you're hurting Tae again, this time I won't hold back." The raven head said, eyes boring through Jonghyun.

Taehyung worriedly tugs Jungkook's arm again. "Please Kookie. Let's just go?"

With that, Jungkook harshly let go of Jonghyun's collar, then holds Taehyung's hand in his and walks out the place, not looking back.

+++

"Are you okay now?" Jungkook asked again for the tenth time, concern never leaving his face.

Taehyung only chuckled and nodded his head as a response. "Let's forget all about it. We came here for ramen okay."

Jungkook sighed and smiled finally for Taehyung.

They are at the ramen place now and are seated at a booth next to the window. While waiting for their food to arrive, they chatted nonsense things until they came up with a bet.

"Whoever finishes the spicy ramen first, without drinking a drop of water, will be the winner." Jungkook grinned while telling the older. He's pretty good at eating spicy food.

Taehyung hesitantly nodded and secretly gulped. His tongue is not that expert in holding in spicy food longer. Whenever he eats those kind of food, he always partnered it with water or any beverage to lessen the sting in his mouth.

But he doesn't want to disappoint Jungkook, so he agreed.

"The winner will have the loser do what he will request." Jungkook added.

Taehyung nodded again. "What's your request?"

"Well its simple. I just wanted a kiss." Jungkook answered and wiggled his eyebrows.

"What?"

"Oh come on, Tae. It will just be a simple kiss. In fact, if you win, I will do what you will request also."

Taehyung thought about it. His left foot was slightly hurt from his fall awhile ago, so a small request won't hurt Kookie right?

As if he would win though.

"You have to piggyback me til we reach the diner." Taehyung said smiling.

"Deal." The raven head said slyly.

When their spicy ramens arrived, they immediately started digging in.

Jungkook eats the ramen deliciously and quickly, like its some kind of dessert. He really looked determined on winning. On the other hand, Taehyung had only eaten three mouthfuls of noodles but his face and tongue is already burning.

Still, the brunette forced another chopstick of noodles into his mouth, and quickly swallowed it. But his throat can't handle the hotness anymore, and he coughed.

He coughed until he was choking and Jungkook rushed to his side and patted his back in panic.

"W-water!" Taehyung choked out. His tongue lolling out.

"Water please!" Jungkook shouted for the waiter. "Hurry!"

The waiter also rushed over their table with a tray of water in a pitcher and two glasses.

Taehyung drinks the water that Jungkook offered him in a hurry. Then he poured another and drinks again. He drank five glasses of water all in all.

"Why didn't you tell me you can't handle spicy food!" Jungkook said. Concern coming back.

"Sorry. I just want to try it also, you know." Taehyung answered in a small voice after regaining his breath.

Jungkook huffs and stared at him unbelievably. "Just- just don't do it again. You don't need to force yourself if you can't handle it, Tae. And I'm sorry for making that stupid bet."

Taehyung smiled reassuringly and held Jungkook's hand. "Hey it's not your fault. I'm the one who's stupid for thinking I could make it. Thanks for helping me though."

Jungkook and Taehyung continued to eat after that, but this time, with a glass of water by Taehyung's side. And from time to time, he would drink water and refill it again.

"I swear you would pee nonstop after this." Jungkook tells Taehyung as he observed him.

"Its okay." Taehyung smiled. Now happily eating his ramen with the aid of water. Jungkook just stared at him again and felt amazed at how simple things can make the older happy easily.

"I'll take you to a serious date one of these days, Tae. I promise."

Taehyung blushes at that. He then shyly looked down to his ramen, pretending to be busy eating.

"But I still have my request to be done with." Jungkook smirked.

Taehyung opens his mouth in surprise. But then closed it when he realized Jungkook was still serious about the reward.

"Its not fair."

"I don't care. Now give me my kiss." Jungkook puckered his lips to prove his point.

Taehyung heaved a sigh for having no choice but to give in. One kiss won't hurt right?

He slowly leaned in towards the younger and quickly pecked his lips.

"That's it?"

"Uh yeah?"

"I want more~"

"But Kookie--"

"I want more."

"Kookie--"

"More~"

"I need to pee."

Jungkook stopped whining and looked at Taehyung in amusement.

"Uh excuse me. I'll just go to the rest room." Then Taehyung hurriedly walked off.

Jungkook's gaze followed Taehyung with so much fondness. The older is just so cute.

When Taehyung finished his business, they paid the bills (Jungkook insisted on paying) and walked out the place holding hands.

"Want a piggyback ride?" Jungkook suggested.

Taehyung once again was surprised at the maknae's question.

"I saw you wincing in pain when you walk. I swear, Jonghyun will face the consequence someday." Jungkook added, face dark as he remembered the events earlier.

"I'm okay Kookie. You don't have to carry me. And besides, I lost our bet. There's no point in doing it." Taehyung said smiling.

But he was shocked again for the nth time already when Jungkook crouched down in front of him. He swears this guy is full of surprises.

"Come on. Win or lose, I would still piggyback you. I don't take no for an answer."

Taehyung hesitated a bit. His foot was slightly aching from the impact of his fall. But at the same time, he doesn't want to be a burden to Jungkook.

"I won't move until you get on my back."

Sighing, Taehyung slowly got on Jungkook's back, burying his embarrassment deep within his conscience. The younger holds both his thighs that are wrapped around his waist and the older circles his arms around the younger's neck.

"You good?" Jungkook asked after adjusting Taehyung up his back and started walking.

"Y-yeah" Taehyung answered in a muffled voice, since he was burying his face unto the younger's neck.

Jungkook walked slowly, enjoying the moment with Taehyung. They moved in silence, walking along the empty sidewalk.

"Kookie.."

"Hmm?"

"I'm sorry but can you walk faster?"

"Why?"

"I need to pee."
