Hey peeps! I hope you like this update. I'm slightly obsessed with Run BTS episodes nowadays. I can't believe it began almost 5 years ago! Also all Brooklyn 99 fans say "aye". That show is legend!

TAEHYUNG POV

The second I reached home, I threw my shirt off and jumped onto my bed. Wearing formals was so annoying. Especially more annoying when I had to run around Jungkook's school all day to complete all the formalities.

The second I thought of Jungkook, my hand instinctively touched the purple hickey on my neck. My mind began replaying the scenario of this morning and my heart refused to keep calm. The very thought of what happened in the classroom turned me on. I had to take deep breaths to calm myself down so that I wouldn't get a boner. To distract myself, I decided to watch the recent episodes of Brooklyn 99 because I hadn't had time to catch up. Soon enough, I lost myself in the 99th precinct's world when the sudden sound of the door smashing open startled me.

I would have been terrified about someone breaking into my house but the loud crash of something falling in the living room and the string of curses that followed instantly helped me recognize my intruders.

"Tae, where you at?" one of them called out.

"In my room," I screamed back and my door flew open.

"Jin hyung, I told you not to barge into my house as you please. The doorbell exists for a reason," I whined.

"And what's the point of me having a key to your place if I can't barge in," Jin stated defiantly.

"You are impossible Jin hyung. Impossible," I said, shaking my head as I grinned ear to ear.

"Impossibly handsome, yes," he replied, head tilted and a smirk on his face, exactly like the cocky Jin I loved.

"I knocked over the bowl of fruits outside and I was trying to clean it up but then I dropped the glass of water kept on the counter so I decided it would be better if I didn't do the cleaning up," Namjoon hyung said from behind the door, evidently extremely disappointed in himself.

As if on cue, both Jin and I in unison shook our heads at Namjoon who was looking down in embarrassment and burst into laughter. Joon's ears were burning red and he was pouting like a little cute baby. He was honestly adorable when he was clumsy. I got off the bed and patted Joon on the back before picking up a rag and cleaning the contents he spilled on the floor.

"Anyway, how was your first day at the school?" Jin asked. "Any problem children in your class because I can give you tips to straighten them right out."

"I haven't started teaching them yet, only introduced myself today," I replied, putting on a kettle to make tea.

Jin started rummaging through my snack drawer and brought out a half eaten packet of biscuits. He offered it to Joon and I and then began munching on it himself.

"Cho, mnchthing inchersthng hpchen tnchy?," he asked, mouth filled with the four biscuits he stuffed in his mouth.

"What?" I asked, staring at his ridiculous eating habits. This man always filled his mouth to the point where food was literally flying out of it before eating it.

"He asked if anything interesting happened today?" Joon translated. They had lived together for so long that he could understand the gibberish Jin spoke. Honestly, I partly envied them. They were really like a made for each other pair, the real deal from all those mushy rom-coms I watched. They were roommates in their first year of college and they soon realized they were meant to be soulmates. They had been living together for close to 5 years now and had exactly the kind of relationship I dreamt of  someday.

I turned back and smiled at them, "You guys are really made for each other, you know."

Jin opened his mouth as if to say something but his mouth remained hanging open. Then, he sputtered on his food and pointed at me, his eyes wide open. He swallowed the big gulp of biscuits he had in his mouth and then screamed, "Tae, what the hell is on your neck?"

My hand automatically covered the bruise left there by Jungkook as my eyes widened in realization. I had never put my shirt back on when they came and they could see my hickey.

"I'm pretty sure there's a good explanation for this. Like he maybe hit his neck on a doorknob. Right Tae?" Joon asked.

"Ummmm..." I muttered sheepishly. I knew Jin would fly into his overprotective persona if I told him about the events of this morning but I didn't want to lie to him either. So, I sucked in a gasp of air and looked them in the eye. "Guys, I got something to tell you.."

"Well we're right here, spit it out," Jin said, practically jumping on the balls of his feet in anticipation.

I regaled them with all the incidents, from Jimin's home to the classroom today. Jin's expression changed with every bit of information I shared while Namjoon controlled his emotions much better. Once I finished, Jin held his index finger up for a few minutes, probably to digest all the information I gave him. I know why Jin was this overprotective about me and I know that they are just people that live in the flat above mine but to me, they have become almost like family in the 3 years I have known them and their opinions matter to me more than my own parents view.

"So you are telling me, you Taehyung, after everything that happened with Seungri that you got a hickey from someone you met a week ago?" Jin said, his eyes narrowed as if he was assessing my expression. 

It was pretty embarrassing because I don't consider myself the type of person who would let someone I barely know do these kind of things to me but in that moment, it was all I wanted. "Yeah hyung," I said, scratching my neck, awaiting his response apprehensively.

"Tae you know why we worry about you. I cannot, absolutely cannot let you go through what happened with Seungri again. I know it completely shattered you, I was there to witness it so I just want you to be careful. I cannot see you hurt again Tae, it pains me," Jin hyung said, remembering those dark days when I almost spiraled into depression.

"I hate to be a party pooper as well Tae but I really have to second what Jin just said. This is not to mean that you should never have a relationship again and of course we will support you through whatever, if anything should happen with Jungkook. All I'm suggesting is maybe you should take it slow. If he really is worth your time, he would understand that," Joon said, all three of us close to tears.

This was another reason I loved the two of them. They helped me survive the darkest time I have ever faced. I was alive because of them and I owed them my life twenty times over. Jin shifted over to give me a long side hug and said, "let's not talk about Seungri anymore and see how things go with Jungkook, yeah?"

I nodded and both Jin and Joon pecked me on my forehead before squeezing me in a long hug. When we parted, the tea was pretty much ready so I poured us all a cup and we sat on the couch. Joon was just telling us about his day when my phone pinged. Immediately, I fished it out of my pocket and my breath stopped for just a moment when I saw who it was.

Kooks

Hey Tae!

Taetae

Hey Jungkook. I'm really glad you texted.

Kook

I wanted to ask you something. No pressure here by the way but would you like to grab a bite to eat tomorrow?

I just stared at my phone for a whole minute, deliberating my response. After the conversation I had with Jin and Joon, I wasn't sure how to respond. By now, the two had noticed that I had completely zoned out and were looking at me. Gathering my courage, I decided to follow my heart which was doing at least 25 different types of somersaults and typed out the next sentence.

Taetae

I would love to:)

I looked up to notice Jin and Joon staring at me questioningly so I took a deep breath. "Guys, I think I got a date tomorrow."

And there you go. This was just a slight hint at Tae's past life to set the scene for all the events to come. Please vote, comment and share and keep reading :)
