party

Chapter Forty

JUNGKOOK's POV

"Hey, Jungkook!"

My head quickly turned around, seeing all the hyungs sitting on the couch together with the closest friends we all have. Yugyeom, Eun Woo, as well as Jackson hyung having fun while talking to each other.

I narrowed my eyes, patiently waiting on what he'll say but instead, he pointed to the empty seat beside him.

I sighed heavily, dropping the glass slowly in the sink before rubbing my head lightly, yawning as I sat down on the table. I heard nothing but loud peals of laughter echoing the living room.

It's been almost two hours when everybody left, all except the close ones that decided to stay to spend their time with us.

"Oh, Jungkook! Happy birthday, bud," Jackson hyung greeted, smiling widely as he pilled something in a plastic bag in between him and Eun Woo.

"Here, that's my gift." he continued, tapping the box a few times before passing it in my direction. I opened it lightly and there I saw a pair of Gucci shoes that I already have in my room.

Well, I guess I should keep it.

"Wait, Jungkook already has that one in his room," said Namjoon hyung to him, which made Jackson hyung raise both of his eyebrows.

"Alright give it back, I just spend almost a hundred dollars for that," Jackson hyung laughed together with the rest before grabbing the chips on the plate.

"Hey, Jungkook. Do you have a girlfriend? It's impossible for you to not have one," Eun Woo asked suddenly, making all of them look in my direction at the same time.

Awkwardness filled us, deafening silence started to roam around. My eyes widen for a bit, biting my lip before looking at Jin hyungs eyes, which he did the same. All of the four hyungs are also unable to break the ice in our conversation.

"Ahaha.." I laughed forcefully, gulping because of nervousness.

"I..don't have any at the moment," I answered, making them sigh before looking at each other.

"Really? I mean, you look good, why aren't you looking for some hot chicks out there," he jokingly said, wheezing afterward.

"It's not my priority, for now, Jackson hyung. I'm too busy on my studies to have one," answered me politely, putting the shoes I'm holding back in the box, dropping them on the floor gently.

"Woah, a good boy then. You raised Jungkook properly, Namjoon. I like that," he added before lifting the shot glass, drinking all the liquor inside of it.

Out of nowhere, someone's handheld my shoulders, the reason I looked up and saw him smiling at me.

"Oh, who's this? I haven't seen him before," Yugyeom asked, pointing his finger above me while holding a shot glass.

Taehyung removed his hand on top of my shoulders before bowing lightly.

"I'm Taehyung, Kim Taehyung." said his deep voice. Their reactions made me hold my chuckles inside. Jackson hyung's jaw dropped, same as Eun Woo, as well as Yugyeom but his hands were on his mouth.

"You..look pretty cool. It's like you get some hot chicks every second huh?"

All of us laughed. Giggling and touches of laughter quickly melted the ice that is building upon us a while ago.

I heard Jin hyung whispered something to Taehyung, feeling him standing up beside me, but soon felt him sitting down again.

And that's what I thought, I knew it's not hyung when I felt a hand rested on top of mg thighs, I know it's him.

"Can you remove your filthy hands off my thighs?" I whispered to him rudely again but just smiled at me as if what I said is nothing to him.

"So what are you? Are you Jungkook's friend or something?" Yugyeom asked, giving Taehyung a questioning look. I heard him cleared his throat, his hand still on my thigh.

I got nervous while waiting on what he'll answer. Yes, I don't want to reveal it to everyone yet. I don't even like sharing it even if they're my close friends, I just can't lose them. There's a high possibility that our friendship will end if they knew about it.

My eyes landed on the floor, my hand started fidgeting itself. Everything went silent, I can't understand why. What I can only hear is my heart beating rapidly and my breaths hitching.

"He's.."

"He's my b-"

"Bestfriend. We're best friends!" I took over on what he'll say.

Both of us looked at each other, talking with our eyes. Taehyung's eyes are literally big as fuck and also me, we don't want to get caught.

"Why did you say that?" his eyes said to mine, both eyebrows are raised, mouth a bit open.

My brows met into a frown, answering back.

"Do you want to get caught?!" I mumbled so low that only he could hear. I looked back to the holder that is now looking in our direction in confusion.

"Uhh, what's happening there? Is something wrong?" Yugyeom asked, which I can see the others wanted to ask us too.

I glanced at Taehyung awkwardly. In a matter of seconds, I quickly removed his hand off my thigh, but not too obvious for them to see.

"Yeah..we're best friends," Taehyung answered quietly. I can feel that he's hesitating to say, but I know he doesn't want us to get caught too.

"I'm..confused haha. You two don't look like typical friends, you know what I mean?" Eun Woo said, with a weird expression on his face, with a forced smile plastered on his face.

"Ah, yes sir. We're not just friends, cuz we are best friends." Taehyung cleared him, nodding his head repeatedly, hissing silently before looking away.

"Oh, yes I know but what I mean is-"

"You have your classes tomorrow, right Jungkook? You can go ahead now in your room to take a rest, I know you got tired earlier," said Namjoon hyung suddenly. I looked at him, assuring him.

I can see right in his eyes that he cut Eun Woo's words purposely from going furthermore about us, about me and Taehyung. I knew he knows that I feel uncomfortable and weird even a while ago when I first sat here.

His eyes are giving me signs that I should just hop on his idea, which I did.

"U-Uhh..right! Um, I guess I gotta go now? I still have morning classes tomorrow, I'm sorry."

I didn't wait for them to say anything and immediately went out of the living room, walking away, heading towards the room.

Without thinking, I quickly flopped on the bed, putting my cheeks on top of it, making my head turn into my left side.

I got scared for a minute. Something for sure will happen if we went furthermore about asking. Thanks to Namjoon hyung, he saved me. He's a life savior tonight. I mean, he's always a lifesaver. He's been like that since then.

Now, I'm kind of scared and anxious about Taehyung. He's the only one left in two of us there and I know they'll ask him. I don't want him to be squeezed into the situation, I hope he'll not.
