"Holy Fuck Kook, did you kidnap the Princess?" Taehyung asked, as he glanced at me in the rear-view mirror, I was scrambling around the back seat trying to locate my seatbelt.

I'm sure I looked quite panicked because I couldn't seem to find it and Taehyung was driving incredibly fast through the quiet streets of Busan.

"Of course not, you stupid fucker, I asked if she was coming and she said yes." Big guy sounded put out that he had been accused of kidnapping.

"You make a habit of jumping in cars when giant strangers ask you to, Princess?" Taehyung asked eyeing me again and I found myself wishing he'd keep his eyes on the road.

"No, this would be the first time." I laughed as I finally located the seatbelt and rushed to get it on.

"Wanna hang with us for a while?" Big dude asked.

"Uh, ok." It did occur to me that getting in a car with two boys I didn't know and agreeing to hang out with them wasn't the wisest decision I'd ever made, but for some reason I wasn't concerned. I knew they would look after me, it was just a feeling I got from the big one and Taehyung had made sure I got home on Friday night, so I assumed he'd do the same today. My dad was working the late shift so he wouldn't be home until midnight, leaving me free to do as I pleased until then.

"Kook, we gotta pick up at Lia's." Taehyung glanced at me.

"Come on V, it'll be fun. We can pick Jennie up on the way. Lia won't start too much shit if she's there."

I was lost, but Taehyung nodded and seemed to agree to me tagging along, so I sat back in my seat.

"Fucking excellent. Road trip!" Huge dude shouted excitedly, even going so far as to do a fist pump in the air. I couldn't help but smile at his enthusiasm.

"I've got some shit to do in Haeundae Princess. It won't take long, we should be back before ten." Taehyung told me. "You ok with that?"

"Uh huh." I answered and Taehyung upped his speed, I just hoped my dad didn't pull us over, because that would take some explaining.

"Cool, we just gotta stop by my house to pick up Jennie. Kook, phone her make sure she's ready."

Kook, who I was yet to be introduced to properly, got out his cell.

"Hey baby..., you up for a road trip..., aw come on, please...., V's gotta stop by Lia's...., Uh huh...., I thought it might..., Two minutes, oh and don't be alarmed but V's got someone with him...., no straight up..., Uh, Shit! I don't know, hang on." He put his phone to his chest and turned to me. "Um, what's your name?" he asked sheepishly.

"y/n." I laughed.

"y/n." Kook went back to his phone call. "Of course she's a fucking girl, who calls their son y/n?..., anyone else home?.., Ok see you in a few. Love you baby." He hung up.

"baby?" Taehyung laughed.

"Fuck off." Kook grumbled good-naturedly. "So y/n. I guess I should tell you my name huh." He smiled at me.

"That might be nice." I agreed.

"I'm Jungkook. Jeon jungkook."

"You're not taehyung's brother?" I asked shocked, they were nothing alike.

Jungkook whipped his head around and stared at me open mouthed his eyes flicking back and forth between Taehyung and me.

"Nah Princess, this dick's my best friend." Taehyung chuckled, as Jungkook continued to gape at me.

"Sorry" I told him, thinking I'd offended him by assuming they were brothers.

"No, no, you..., V?..., she..."

"Shut the fuck up Kook." taehyung cut off whatever Jungkook was trying to say.

"Holy Shit! Jennie's gonna flip." he shouted.

Again I had no idea what they were talking about. I resigned myself to the fact that I'd probably spend the whole evening confused.

After a few minutes taehyung pulled into a driveway that was hidden in the trees, he drove through the forest for a while before we entered a clearing. There on a huge lawn, was the biggest house I've ever seen.

"Is this your house." I whispered in awe.

"Yeah, well it's my parent's house." taehyung shrugged.

"Wow." I was lost for words. These people must be seriously loaded.

Taehyung pulled up outside the front door, just as it swung open and a gorgeous brunette walked down the steps.

"Is everyone you know beautiful?" I asked out loud instead of keeping it in my head.

Taehyung laughed as Jungkook jumped out of the car to open the back door for her.

"Hi." She smiled as she sat down next to me.

"Hi." I said meekly, slightly intimidated by this girls beauty.

Taehyung raced back down his driveway and back onto the road heading towards Haeundae.

"V, you rude fuck, are you going to introduce me to your friend?" Jennie said as Jungkook laughed.

"Oh, right..., yeah. Jennie this is, uh, y/n." She nodded at me. "Princess, this is Jennie, Jungkook's girlfriend and general pain in the fucking ass." Taehyung smirked and ducked as Jennie swatted at him.

Again I wished he would pay more attention to the road.

"Princess?" she questioned and I shrugged at her, I have no idea why he calls me that. He actually didn't even know my real name until Jungkook asked.

"That's not the best of it baby." Jungkook bounced in his seat.

"How old are you Kook?" he groaned.

"Fuck you, this is huge." Jungkook laughed while Taehyung gave him the finger.

"Yo, y/n." Jungkook called to me. "Whose car are we in?" he asked.

"What? His." I said pointing to taehyung thoroughly confused, again, until an awful thought struck me.

"Or is this not your car, oh God, you didn't steal it did you." I gasped, and then blushed as all three of them burst out laughing.

"Sorry." I told them, I was so embarrassed.

"Anyway." Jungkook said when he finished laughing. "Back to my original question. Whose car is this?"

"Don't wind her up Kook." Jennie said rolling her eyes.

"I'm not. Trust me, her answer will blow your fucking mind." He said wide eyed and staring at her.

"Ok Kook, whatever you say babe." She smiled sweetly at him, then suddenly swatted Taehyung around the head. "Did you give him drugs again?" she yelled.

"What the fuck Jennie. Of course I didn't give him drugs. I had to spend the day with him remember, like I'd subject myself to this giant moron being high all day. Jungkook, dude, control your woman, because I will leave her ass on the side of the fucking road if she hits me again. Princess, can you please put the dick jungkook out of his misery and answer his question. Jennie will more than likely gape at you for a while, Jungkook will get over excited like the fucking five year old he is and then we can all get on with our lives and hopefully the rest of the journey will be relatively drama free. Fuck I need a smoke." He leant over to the glove compartment and pulled out a packet,

throwing one in his mouth and pulling a lighter out of his pocket.

He cracked his window and lit his smoke, pulling on it deeply before exhaling slowly.

I was stunned. I'd never heard taehyung say so much in one go, he was fairly commanding which I found hot as hell.

I was slightly perturbed by Jennie's comment about giving Jungkook drugs again,

It implied Taehyung had given him drugs before, and I really didn't understand Jungkook's need for me to tell Jennie whose car we were in.

She clearly knew it was Taehyung's.

"Aw man, you've totally ruined it now." Jungkook said sulkily.

"I don't get it." Jennie said.

"Me either." I admitted. "Is there something funny about us being in Taehyung's car?" I asked her.

Jennie gasped and her eyes widened.

"See, see. What did I tell you baby. Fucking Epic!" Jungkook clapped and bounced in the front seat.

Totally confused, which I'm finding is an almost constant state while I'm around taehyung, I looked up at him in the mirror, he raised his eyebrow and smirked at me, in an 'I told you so' kind of way,

his cigarette was hanging loosely from his mouth and oh dear Lord! He looked like sin. Dirty, delicious, sexy, sin.

It was a good job I had my seatbelt on because I might have jumped him if I wasn't restrained.

Jennie regained her composure fairly quickly, and the rest of the journey was filled with idle chatter.

It was, just as Taehyung had hoped, relatively drama free with only a small altercation between Taehyung and Jungkook over which radio station to put on.

This involved some pushing and slapping and a lot of cursing.

I stayed out of it and just worried about Taehyung driving while simultaneously fighting with Jungkook and at one stage smoking as well.

Despite worrying I was going to be involved in a road traffic accident, due to Taehyung's rather cavalier attitude to driving, I was enjoying myself.

I don't know what I was expecting and I still didn't really know anything about these people, Taehyung was still a mystery but the more time I spent with him, the more I wanted to figure him out.

Before long we were in Haeundae and he pulled up in the parking lot of the mall downtown.

"Plan?" Jungkook asked, all traces of humour gone.

"Leave the girls here, we'll hit everyone except Lia." Taehyung said.

Jennie jumped out of the car and jungkook followed. Taehyung turned to me. "You have a cell phone?"

"Yeah."

"Ok, hand it over, I'll program my number into it, call if you need to. I just gotta take care of some business with Jungkook and then I'll pick you up. You can shop with Jennie or something."

I groaned and grabbed my cell out of my bag handing it to him.

"You don't like shopping Princess?"

"Not really."

"Huh. I thought most girls loved shopping." He looked genuinely bemused, as he entered his number into my phone.

"I'm not most girls." I shrugged.

He looked up at me, his dark eyes piercing my soul. "No, you're not." He said quietly, before shaking his head quickly as if to clear it.

✴️༻✴️

I felt tense now I was alone with Jennie, the boys had a way of making me feel safe and relaxed.

I had agreed to hang out with them, but now I was faced with spending an unknown amount of time alone with Jennie and I was nervous.

This was shaping up to be the strangest day I'd ever had.

"Come on, let's get some coffee and then we can spend some money." She smiled at me and headed into the mall leaving me no choice but to follow her.

We chatted over coffee and I soon relaxed in her company, I don't know what it was about Taehyung, Jungkook and Jennie but they had a way of making me feel comfortable around them, despite them being relative strangers to me.

"So when did you meet V?" she asked.

"Friday night, I was in the diner with a friend, do you know Mike?"

"Mike, sure, he's been by the house a couple of times."

"Well Taehyung and him had to go somewhere so he dropped me home, and then he was at my school today with Jungkook, they seem to have, er, a problem with Mike, I'm not sure why." I added hoping she might explain what was going on between Mike and Taehyung, but she didn't.

"I still can't believe you call him Taehyung."

"Huh?"

"No one calls him that, he's V or Kim, only his parents and his grandfather call him by his name, most people don't even know it, you must have made some impression on him if he told you."

"I just asked him." I shrugged, I didn't get what the big deal was. "Wait, is that why you and Jungkook were so shocked in the car?"

"Yep, to hear you call him that and not have him react badly was a shock, usually he goes postal. I think our little V might have a crush."

"I doubt it." I said blushing, there was no way someone like Taehyung would ever be interested in someone like me.

"He calls you Princess!" she laughed.

"Yeah, but that's only because he didn't know my name until Jungkook asked when he was on the phone to you." I argued.

"Uh huh." She said not believing me for a second. "We'll see."

I followed her around while she bought some clothes and a new purse.

She tried to persuade me to try some things on but I wasn't being swayed. I couldn't afford anything in the shops we went in.

She thought nothing of the price and paid for everything with a black credit card.

We were at the checkout of an upmarket boutique when my phone rang.

"Hello." I answered.

"Princess, we're outside, tell jennie to stop spending my fucking money and get her ass out to the car." Taehyung laughed and hung up.

I stared at my phone for a while before informing Jennie, more politely, that the boys were waiting for us.

✴️༻✴️

When we got to the car both boys jumped out. Jungkook took Jennie's shopping bags and Taehyung opened the door of the car for me,

I actually felt like a Princess when they did things like that. It was so old-fashioned and gentlemanly.

"Dinner?" Taehyung asked.

"Steak." Jungkook shouted.

"Sushi" Jennie said at the same time.

"Kook, you had steak for lunch, and Jennie you can fuck right off if you think I'm eating raw fish. What do you want to eat Princess?" he asked and all three of them turned to look at me.

"Er, I don't mind. Whatever you guys want is fine."

"Princess, we'll argue for at least an hour and probably come to blows before we make a decision, so if you wanna get back at a decent hour, I highly suggest you tell me what you want to eat."

"Pizza?" I said as a question, uncomfortable that I was being forced to choose, but figuring everyone liked pizza.

"I really, really, fucking like you." Jungkook said to me as Taehyung pulled onto the road.

Less than ten minutes later we were seated at a table in a small Pizza joint.

We all ordered cokes, Jennie and I decided to share a plain cheese pizza.

Jungkook wanted the works and ordered a whole one for himself, so Taehyung had no choice but to order a whole pizza as well.

The waitress bought our food over, swaying her hips and smiling in Taehyung's direction, she hovered around the table until Jennie sent her a glare that would turn someone to ice and she hurried away.

Dinner was a hoot, Jungkook was hilarious, Jennie was fun and Taehyung seemed to relax a bit, joining in with Jungkook's jokes.

I was happy just to watch them all, they seemed like really good friends.

They never made me feel left out while they talked about the time they spent at school and about Rose and Jimin.

Turned out Jimin was Jennie's cousin and Rose was Taehyung's cousin.

"How we gonna work it at Lia's?" Jungkook asked when he finished his pizza.

The three of them suddenly turning more serious.

Taehyung glanced at me before answering. "We leave the girls in the car and go in the back."

"No fucking way, the only reason I agreed to this little road trip was because kook said we were going to Lia's.

"Alright, so me and Jennie go in, Kook you stay in the car with Princess."

"I'm not letting Jennie go in without me." jungkook mumbled pulling Taehyung's pizza in front of him.

"Fuck Kook, I can't leave her in the car by herself." Taehyung ran a hand through his hair and squeezed his eyes closed.

I was confused, just to make a pleasant change.

"So we bring her." Jungkook shrugged. "Ever been to club y/n?"

"Um, no, I'm seventeen."

"So what? You should see V in the clubs, he's been to loads. Horny little fucker."

"Don't be hating me, just cos you gave Jennie your balls before you hit puberty." Taehyung laughed.

I didn't know what to make of the club revelation,

"We go in the front, you take Princess to the bar and stay on Lia, Jungkook and I will find J." Taehyung said and Jennie nodded.

"We'll come back for you when we're done, then you can have at her." He smiled.

"I'm gonna fuck her shit up." Jennie rubbed her hands together and her eyes twinkled.

"In fact, y/n coming in with us could work in my favour, if she sees you together she'll flip."

"No, absolutely not." Taehyung said firmly.

"Ah, come on V. It'll be perfect and I won't do anything until you and Kook are back."

"Hell yeah." Jungkook cried out. "It'll be golden."

I was tired of being confused. They all seemed to know what each other was talking about but I had no clue.

"You know I have no idea what any of you are talking about don't you." I said bravely.

"Yeah." Taehyung nodded and left it at that.

"Lia, has a bit of an infatuation with our boy here." Jennie started nodding towards Taehyung.

"Ok, so what's that got to do with me?"

"Jennie." Taehyung warned, but she ignored him.

"Lia's got a nasty temper and I want to rile her up, you can help me." She shrugged.

"Princess, you don't have to do anything, I'll come get you and we'll wait in the car while Jennie does her thing. The crazy bitch hates me."

"Why does she hate you?" I asked him.

"We had a little disagreement." he said.

"He means he fucked her and now she's pissed." she clarified bluntly as Taehyung groaned and ran his hands over his face.

"Oh, um, ok, did she not like him, er, doing that." I stuttered stupidly, a bit thrown by the casual reference to Taehyung having sex.

Jungkook threw his head back and laughed loudly.

"Fucking priceless." He said shaking his head. "I think it's safe to say she liked it y/n." He added still chuckling.

"I don't understand." I really didn't.

"She's pissed because he told her in no uncertain terms that he wouldn't do it again." she explained.

"What was it you said V?"

"Shut the fuck up Jungkook." Taehyung said tersely, looking at me.

"I wouldn't dip my dick back in your overused pussy if the fate of the free world depended on it." hd slapped the table. "That was it! You should have seen her face."

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Taehyung glared at him.

"I'm just going to, um, freshen up." I told them, standing up and almost running to the rest rooms.

✴️༻✴️

I splashed my face with cold water, and took a moment. I was completely out of my comfort zone, I had no idea how to deal with what I knew about Taehyung.

He smoked, possibly took drugs, cursed like a sailor, apparently liked clubs, had sex and clearly wasn't very complimentary afterwards and may have beaten Mike up on Friday night,

but he was also funny and kind, had great manners, he was obviously close to his family and friends,

The intelligent part of my brain, was screaming at me to run like hell and stay as far away from him as possible.

I knew I should. I could go back home to my quiet police chief dad, and my responsible, my annoyingly nice non-boyfriend Mike and pretend that I'd never met Taehyung kim, stick to the plan and just survive for the next twelve months before I head out of Busan.

But at some stage during the last few hours, my subconscious had changed my plans, and now, surviving and going through the motions until college didn't appeal to me at all.

Being around taehyung had me confused but exhilarated, and although it had been the strangest day of my life, it had also been one of the best.

I certainly wasn't ready for it to be over yet, who knew if I'd see him again after tonight.

I headed out of the restroom determined to make the most of this one night.

Taehyung was stood against the wall waiting for me.

"Hi." I said.

"Hi." He gave me a small smile. "Look, about all that...." He waved in the direction of our table and sighed. "I can take you home."

"No!" I said panicked.

"I'll call you a cab, if you don't want to get back in my car." He said looking at his feet and misunderstanding my refusal.

"I thought that we were going to the, um, club." I said blushing.

"You still want to come?" he asked looking up quickly.

"Um, yeah, if that's ok."

"Shit Princess, you're just full of fucking surprises." He pushed away from the wall and came closer to me. "Are you sure?" he asked looking me in the eye as he came to a stop just inches from me.

"I want to come with you." I whispered.

"Ok" he agreed, his eyes searching my face for something, and I don't know what he saw, but he threw one arm around my lower back, pulling me abruptly to him, his lips crashed into mine instantly.

I was frozen with shock for a moment before I realised what was happening. I was having my first kiss. With Taehyung Kim!

It wasn't soft or tentative, like I had expected my first kiss to be.

He took total control, forcefully plunging his tongue into my mouth the second I gasped with surprise and pulling me tighter to him.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back, letting myself get lost in the feeling of him kissing me, as his tongue expertly explored my mouth.

He moaned and brought his other hand up to the back of my head, holding me to him closer and tilting my head so he could kiss me deeper.

I ran my hands up into his hair tugging gently and he moaned again.

He pulled away before I was ready and I fell into him. I was breathing heavily and taehyung pressed his lips softly to mine just once.

"Um, wow." I murmured, unsure of what the protocol was after sharing a kiss like that.

Taehyung smiled a shy smile and took my hand leading me out of the restaurant.

I used my other hand to touch my lips gently, a small smile on my face.

Jungkook and Jennie were waiting by the car and both of them smiled widely when they caught sight of us.

Taehyung opened my door for me and kissed me softly on the forehead once I was settled.

Jennie wiggled her eyebrows suggestively at me as he shut the door and I blushed.

"Let's go party and get drunk!" Jungkook yelled excitedly, causing Jennie to smack him around the head as Taehyung took off at speed.

I relaxed back into my seat amazed at the turn my day had taken.

When I got up this morning I had been resigned to spending the next year counting down the days until I could leave busan and start living.

Thinking my day would be another boring Monday spent with Mike and the gang, doing homework and laundry after school, and now here I was, having had my first kiss with a hot boy I knew next to nothing about and off to a club with three people I didn't really know, but felt a strange connection with.

A sense of belonging I hadn't ever felt before. I was experiencing new things.

I was finally living. It was thrilling, if not a little confusing, but I was loving it.

I had a funny feeling meeting Taehyung was going to change my life in ways I had yet to imagine.
