Taehyung Pov

'His lips on mine!'

Wasn't that something I desperately waited for, to happen someday?

Holding him in my arms, kissing him wildy, leaving marks on his whole body, claiming him to be mine.

And how could you expect me to hold back when the person I have been in love for so long, was kissing me right now.

I gave in the next second, he crashed his lips on mine. He moved his lips on mine feeding me with the bitter taste of liquor still lingering in his mouth. But it felt strangely good to my senses, in fact it felt ecstatic.

The way his lips were moving over mine exhibited dominance. So I let him dominate over me. He pulled me even more closer from the back of my head, deepening our kiss.

Our tongues danced together and our bodies grinding with one another as we kept going on recklessly.

"Taehyungiee..? Jungkookie..??"

Jimin sudden scream scared the hell out of me, causing me to yank Jungkook away in panic. My eyes widened as I landed back into reality.

I instantly looked in Jimin's direction who was standing in utter shock, with eyes wide open and Jaws about to hit the floor.

Then my gaze went back to Jungkook who was about to collapse on the floor, near to pass out.

I quickly got hold of him, before he finally passed out in my arms.

"Have both of you gone insane or what? What the hell was that? Thank God Taemin hyung didn't come outside. Oh My Lord. " Jimin cried out completely bewildered by what he just witnessed.

"Keep it down Jiminie. I'll explain it later." I uttered in a whisper, looking around in panic what if someone heard us.

"I can't believe my eyes. You both.. I mean you and Jungkook..No..no.. I can't digest it." he nagged shaking his head vigorously in disbelief, annoyingly getting on my nerves.

"Shut the fuck up before anyone hear you Jiminie. And help me getting him on my back." I growled giving Jimin a deadly glare.

'That little pain in ass.'

"I want to hear everything, every fucking detail. You got that?" He asked threatening me with his eyes, causing me to sigh in defeat.

"Okay fine. I'll tell you everything. Can you just help me now so we can leave?" I drawled in frustration.

'What am I supposed to tell him later?'

'Kim Taehyung you're doomed!!'

The walk back to home was quieter than I thought. In fact, I was thankful that Jimin didn't asked anything. But awkwardness was still there as Jimin kept glancing at both of us.

"I'm going to put him in his bed, so wait for me in my room." I told Jimin as I made my way to Jungkook's room.

After getting into his room, I turned on the lights with Jungkook still sleeping on my back. I tip toed so that he wouldn't wake up, cause he kept stirring the whole time.

I carefully and featherly placed him on his bed. As soon as I put him in his bed, he settled in comfortably, like he sensed his bed.

I took off his shoes, his cap and mask. His clothes reeked of alcohol. How much exactly he drank? I couldn't understand this kid anymore.

He wouldn't accept his feelings for me and at the sametime he couldn't tolerate anyone with me.

He got jealous of Joy again, I was sure. That kiss explained everything.

'My jealous bunny.'

I went to his closet and got a comfy shirt and trouser. Then I went for some warm water and towel from bathroom.

As I started cleaning his face, he stirred, a frown forming on his forehead and lips turning into a cute pout.

'This beautiful man will become the death of me someday.'

"Hyunnng you're mine" It was a mere murmur but I heard it in the dead silence of his room.

A smile appeared on my face, as I felt butterflies in my stomach. His words made me felt like I was in a heavenly dream.

'Oh my little kookie.. Only if I could tell you that I'm all yours from the start.'

After cleaning him, I changed his clothes and pulled the blanket on him.

I stared at him for a while, admiring how beautiful he was while sleeping.

'I love him damn.'

I bent down and kissed his forehead softly, smiling at him I turned off the light and left.

Gathering all courage I had in me, I entered in my room to see Jimin was lying in my bed, busy on his laptop.

As he felt my presence, he hastily turned off his laptop, feeding me with all of his attention.

"I got Soju bro." He announced while grabbing the bottles of soju from side table and swinging them in air.

"Are you sure? It's 3am already Jiminie." I asked raising an eyebrow.

He must be too excited to hear the story about me and Jungkook, that I didn't even have words for.

"We don't have any schedule tomorrow, so we can talk till the morning." He said winking at me and already pouring the Soju in the glasses.

"So you're not giving up on this topic. No running away huhh?" I asked sitting beside him with a pout.

"No. You don't have a choice." he declared shrugging, unaffected by my pout.

"Okay fine." I groaned before taking the glass of Soju and chugging it down in one shot.

'You can say that Taehyung. Fighting!!'

I took a deep sigh before opening my mouth to speak.

"I love him." I announced without a notice causing Jimin to gasp.

"To be more specific, I love him as a lover or boyfriend. Whatever you take it as." I continued while reading his changing expressions.

His eyes widened and his Jaws dropped and he stayed like that for a while before speaking up again.

"Are you serious Taehyungie?" He asked totally astonished.

I nodded in approval.

'More than serious bro.'

"But how's that possible? And why didn't you tell me before?" He kept on asking trying to ingest the truth.

"And how's that not possible Jiminie? Falling in love is not in your hands bro. It just happens and when you get to figure it out, it will be late already. And I didn't tell you cause at first it was just one sided, so I had no reason to tell you or anyone." I replied with another shot of Soju.

Actually, talking about it felt a bit relieving. Could you imagine keeping your feelings to yourself for years? To be honest, it had been so hard for me, in fact to the extent of nerve wrecking.

"And when did it started?" Jimin asked now totally switching to exciting mode.

"I don't know when it happened to me Jiminie. You know from the start me and Jungkook were pretty close. Then I don't know when I started getting jealous over his friends. I mean that 97 liners from other bands. Even sometimes I got jealous from you and hyungs too. His skinship with others always got me to edge. I tried to shrug it off many times but It kept growing on until I realised I had fallen for him so badly that I couldn't turn back now. But"

"But?" Jimin blurted out completely lost in my love story which made me smile at him.

"But my love was one sided. That's what I thought until.."

"Until? What? Stop pausing Taehyungie " Jimin whined while stroking my arm.

I smirked at him enjoying how he was listening to me so desperately.

"You remember I did hosting with Blackpink, Jisoo in a show?" I asked recalling that memory in my head.

"Yeah.. That was amazing.. She became good friend of you. But what about her? " he asked raising an eyebrow.

"Because of her, I got to realize that Jungkook feels same for me." I replied with a sheepy smile.

"You're blushing? I mean seriously? what exactly are you thinking, dirtyhead?" He asked while making cringy faces, causing me to stirr in my place in embarrassment.

"Stop being nosy. I'm not thinking anything dirty you moron." I uttered while giving him a content glare.

"Okay then tell me what are you thinking exactly?" He asked with a mischievous smirk.

"I was thinking how Jungkook got jealous of Jisoo. You don't know how happy I was that day. It felt like I finally graduated. And today it happened again, he got jealous of Joy. " I told him with heartiest smile. Just thought of it made me feel like I won an award.

"Really? Jungkook got jealous? I don't believe it." Jimin exclaimed, laughing in disbelief.

"I was in disbelief too Jiminie. But it's true. During that show with Jisoo, he had been strangely quiet. I felt that but shrug it off that it might be just my imagination. But when we went back home, he kept on drinking like crazy. I felt worried so I went to his room and to my surprise he was totally wasted because of drinking. And when I tried to stop him, he.. "

"He what Taehyungie?" Jimin nearly yelled giving me a little jerk.

"He.. He kissed me!" I announced taking a deep sigh cause I knew what was coming.

"Whatttttt?" Jimin screamed causing me to flinch and covering my ears in the process.

"Are you fucking insane? why the hell are you screaming? What if someone wakes up? Idiot." I whispered yelled giving him a deadly glare.

"He kissed you first? OMG.. I can't believe it. First I thought you're crazy but Jungkook is crazier than you." he whispered back with wide eyes.

"He don't even remember that kiss. And he's not crazy. Don't call him that again." I groaned with a deadly scowl.

"So you're warning me Mr. Boyfriend? I'm going to call you both crazy cause you both have no idea what you both have gotten into. It's too risky path Taehyungie." He said as his expression changing in to worry.

"Look who's talking here. Like I don't know how you went crazy head over heels when Yoongi hyung said Jiminah I Love you in this year festa. You didn't even sleep whole night because of happiness." I mentioned mockingly causing him to blush in the process.

"It.. It wasn't like that, you know." he stuttered embarrassment evident on his face, causing me to burst into laughter.

"I know you more than anyone Jiminie." I bragged with an evil smirk.

'I got him right at the time.'

He smacked me in the arm causing me to whimper.

"It hurts You moron." I cried out while rubbing my arm.

"Served you better." he shrugged with an ironic laugh.

"You're mean Jimin-ssi." I whined giving him a scowl.

'Jerk.'

"Don't change the topic Taehyungie, we're not over yet. Tell me about Jungkook. Did he confessed first or you?" he asked in utter seriousness.

"Well, this is yet to happen." I drawled in between sighs.

"Whattt? you both didn't confessed yet? Then what was that kiss before? I thought it was mutual." He shouted out in shock.

"It was mutual Jiminie. When he gets drunk, he accepts everything. But when he becomes sober, he forgets everything and refuses his feelings." I replied with a scoff.

'How would I make him confess his love? Damn Kookie you're so hard to get.'

"So, after all the story you told me, now you're saying that you both haven't  even confessed each other yet."He exclaimed shaking his head vigorously.

"Actually Jungkook isn't admitting his feelings for me. I did everything but he's so stubborn." I whined rubbing my head.

"Is that a problem? Just go and tell him how you feel bro." he said like it was most obvious thing.

"I'm afraid." I spilled out my insecurity.

"Afraid of what Taehyungie?" he asked raising an eyebrow.

"Rejection. I'm in love with him for so long Jiminie. I loved him all alone. And If he rejects me now, I'm gonna die. I can't even imagine it." I replied in utter sadness.

"So help me Jiminie. Every fucking day is becoming harder for me." I continued literally pleading him this time.

"Okay okay. Please don't be like that. You know I love you both so much. So I'll do everything to get you both together. You would have told me earlier, so you didn't have to suffer all this time Taehyungie." he cheered me up embracing me in a hug.

That's what I exactly needed badly. A hug and comforting words from my best friend.

His words gave me my confidence back and I smiled back at him.

"What are we gonna do?" I asked desperately wanted to know how he gonna help me.

"I have a plan." he announced with a smirk.
