8| bring me home

jimin was on his way back to the table, when he noticed it being empty.

he looked around and shrugged, thinking taehyung maybe went to the toilet. so he waited, but even after a long time, taehyung wasn't back. he went to check up on taehyung in worry, but entering the men wc, he just met an old man, but no taehyung.

he frowned and called the younger, who doesn't seem to have his phone with him. of course, it was still lying on the table.

but where is taehyung? jimin grabs the younger's phone and went outside, when he heard a familiar laughter. he turned to his left, and his heart dropped.

jimin's eyes widened in shock, seeing taehyung hug a male, someone who he hasn't ever seen before. he knows nothing about this male, his relationship to taehyung, but his fists clenched automatically. he was always the only one taehyung hugged.

call it a dumb cliché, but jimin fell for his best friend. a year ago. it was always easy to suppress his feelings, because he always was the only one taehyung would spend his time with. besides some other friends they had, but they never were a 'threat' in jimin's eyes.

but seeing the way taehyung and the new boy held each other, the way they smiled, looked so intimate with each other, the black haired male for sure felt like a threat to him.

he was tall, handsome as hell, has a great style, even if it's only black and his bunny smile is killing everyone. even jimin has to admit it.

jimin glared at them. he is possessive over taehyung, always was, but since now it was the protective possession. he never had a reason to have this jealous possession, but now... he sure has.

jimin turned around, without doing anything, went back to their table and sat down. he eyed his and taehyung's coffees and sighed. "who was that?"

he leaned his head on his arms on the table and closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down. because damn, was he angry.

but he snapped his head up, hearing the laughter he just always loved to hear. his eyes fell on the silver haired and then he frowned. he was with him.

"jiminieee!" taehyung exclaimed happily and took jungkook's hand in his, pulling the younger with him. jungkook blushed at the touch and both the touch and the younger's expression didn't go unnoticed by the blonde.

the same as the hidden glare didn't get unnoticed by the ravenette.

"hyung this is jungkook, a-a friend." taehyung smiled. jimin smiled back at the silver haired and then looked to jungkook. even though no one of them exchanged one word with the other, the tension between their stares was high.

jungkook smirked. "hey, i'm jungkook."

"jimin." the smaller answered, shaking jungkook's hand, not forgetting to give it a hard squeeze.

their smirks held more words in them as if when they would talk.

"hyung, you can let his hand go now." taehyung giggled. both jimin and jungkook looked at the grey haired and smiled. they let go.

"let's sit down." jimin said, but he regretted it when jungkook sat down first and taehyung decided to sit next to the younger, without hesitation.

he sighed and sat down in front of them.

"jungkook?"

"hm?"

"which school are you attending to." jimin asked, curious to know. but his eyes were on the silver haired, that couldn't stop staring at the ravenette.

he was still mesmerized by jungkook's handsomeness. his black hair and black outfit, with his milky skin and dark rose lips, dark eyes and a godlike body.
like a vampire. taehyung thought and giggled by his own thoughts.

"i take online classes." jungkook answered.

"why so?" jimin cocked an eyebrow and jungkook shuddered, which didn't get unnoticed by the male next to him.

"kookie, do you want to order something, i'll pay you." taehyung smiled, changing the subject. he will ask jungkook about school someday. when he thinks the younger is ready.

jimin huffed. "kookie.." he whispered.

"no, angel it's fine. i already drank a coffee."

"a-angel?" jimin asked, a little louder as he intended too.

taehyung blushed. "yah, kook, why are you calling me that in front of my best friend. that's embarrassing." he giggled and jungkook cood at the cuteness.

jungkook then looked at jimin, who seemed to be very irritated and confused.

"isn't that my nickname for you?" he said and taehyung melted hearing that voice say things like that. he shrunk into the polyester seat of the café, looking next to jungkook even smaller than before. they might be at the same height, but jungkook definitely looks taller, is broader and has more muscles.

taehyung drooled, before coming back to reality.

"since when do you know each other?" jimin asked then and jungkook looked at taehyung, the older doing the same. their eyes locked.

"i don't know, a month?" taehyung answered and jungkook nodded along. "i think it's a little more." he added.

jimin nodded understanding and jungkook smirked triumphantly, guessing what the blonde was thinking. "taetae, can we talk?" jimin then asked, taehyung immediately turning to jungkook, as if asking for permission. as if they already belong to each other.

"what do you wanna talk about hyung?" taehyung asked and jimin looked to jungkook.

"just want to ask you something." he said and grabbed taehyung wrist, pulling the now confused boy harshly with him. jungkook's eyes were on the silver haired's wrist.

entering the washroom, jimin pushed taehyung against the cold wall. "h-hyung why are you like this? what is wrong?"

"taetae, can you explain who jungkook is?"

"he's my friend."
taehyung answered with a 'are-you-serious-look'.

"since when? how? why didn't i know?"

"t-today was the first time i met him."

"what?" jimin looked at him startled.
"you don't know him?"

"i do. i know him. very well?"

"do you kim taehyung?"
does he?

"yes."

"that doesn't make sense? who is he and how do you know him?"

"why do you care? why are you so furious?" taehyung pouted and jimin looked at him with anger in his eyes.

taehyung felt so small right now. he couldn't understand what was going on, why his best friend was so furious.

the silver haired had enough and pushed jimin aside, wanting to go off, but the older gripped his wirst in a bruising way and pinned it against the wall. "HYUNG!"

taehyung whimpered lightly when jimin tightened his grip even more.

the older was too consumed by his anger and thoughts that he didn't realize his best friend was in pain.

it was the moment he heard a sob coming from taehyung that he realized what he was doing. he looked to taehyung's wrist and widened his eyes seeing how red and swollen it was. he quickly let go and taehyung instantly grabbed his own wrist with his other hand.

"tae.. i'm sorry i-i don't know what's wrong with-"

"i don't know either. j-just promise you'll never do it again..."

jimin nodded lightly and sighed. "let's go, i'll bring you home."

"no you won't." jungkook who entered the wc glared at jimin. making his way towards taehyung, he ignored the blonde and just took taehyung's hand in his, holding it in the most gentle way ever.

jimin scoffed. "leave it, i'll bring him, he doesn't feel well." he said and jungkook cocked an eyebrow.

"hmm, let me think about why." he answered and jimin rolled his eyes.

"you don't even know where he lives."

"seems like i'll find out today." jungkook retorted. he smirked, being secretly proud of his smug comeback.

taehyung was just standing there, his eyes on his hand, that was being held by jungkook's.

"come on tae, let's go." jimin took taehyung's other hand in his, but taehyung remembered what happened a few minutes ago and quickly pulled away, like a reflex, moving closer to jungkook, squeezing his hand.

"t-tae..."

jimin is his best friend, but this wasn't his jimin. it was a stranger.

"k-kookie, can you please bring me home?" he looked to the younger with big doe eyes and jungkook felt his heart shrinking seeing how glossy the older's eyes were. he nodded. "of course angel."

jimin hung his head low, not daring to look up. he definitely fucked up.
[it is that moment, he knew. he fucked up.]
