Behind the cameras : jikook fan fiction (BTS)

playing the cupid?

Taehyung sighed as he kept the phone away. Even if he scolded the younger telling him to concentrate, he finds it impossible. His whole attention was on jimin all this time as well, that's the reason he knew that the younger was staring at jimin. He gave a 'warning' to jungkook but he doesn't know if it was the friendship or the one sided crush he has on jimin that made him speak.

True, he have given up on jimin for a while now. He would do anything to support jimin's love and to make him happy, but deep down, those feelings were always there. His heart still can't manage to stay calm around the latter. And being best friends, they spend almost half their time cuddling; which makes his heart race at times. Above all that, he won't let someone just come and break jimin's heart. He could never stand that. He feels guilty that he lashed out when jungkook was trying to open up to him. And almost shared the guilty crush he has. He was thankful that jungkook didn't pick on the hint he accidentally dropped.

He sighed as they continued their shoot.

.......

He was surprised when he was trapped in a warm hold. "Taetae looks disturbed! Tell me what's bothering you?" Says jimin, looking up at him. Jimin was a cutie and a attention seeking cuddlebug. But he would maintain his attitude to be cooler when he's around others. Its only tae that he would be all cute with.The latter chuckled. How the hell is he supposed to not have feelings for jimin when he acts like this?? And how can he not be jealous when he knows that its gonna be jungkook's privilege sooner?? He patted the older's head. "Awh I'm all good now jiminie! I just wanted a hug to feel better!" Jimin pouts. "Is taetae hiding something???" He asked looking mad and 'threatening' taehyung.

He laughs, "Should i be worried?? Will jiminie hyung punish me??" Jimin backs off puffing his cheeks. "I'm serious tae! Tell me if you're in trouble!" They were both shocked to hear jungkook's voice. "You will both be in trouble if you don't come join us to go home hyung"
They weren't surprised to see the younger waiting for them. Jimin approached kook with his practice bag, and a big smile on his face. Three of them rushed out as they heard their manager honk.

.....

The ride back to the dorm was silent and he had the best seat between jungkook and taehyung. It always was comforting to have them by his side. He got cuddled up and decided to take a nap.

"Kooks" he can hear taehyung speak.
Jungkook hums in response.
"Let's go out tomorrow?" Taehyung asks.
"Sure hyung. Let's ask jiminie hyung when he wakes up" he says as he strokes jimin's head. 
"No kook, just the two of us."
Jungkook was clueless that his reply was just a little "huh?"
"What? Won't you spend some time with me?"
"I could hyung but we rarely go out without jiminie"
"Exactly kookie-ah! We rarely go out alone. So let's have some quality time!" 
"Okay....but jimin hyung will be alone....i don't want him to be lonely..." Jungkook was interrupted by taehyung. "Namjoon hyung said he will take jimin out with jin hyung. He won't be lonely"
Jungkook sounded uncertain but he agreed anyway.

Jimin was beyond confused and hurt. His taetae never leaves him out of the plans. Infact,it will be taehyung that refuses to go out without him. Why is he acting like this? Did he do something wrong?
On taehyung's birthday It was him that said that the three of them shouldn't leave one out when they go out.
A part of him was guilty, this is how taehyung must have felt when they went out alone ...right?

The continuous chuckling and teasing of the duo continued through the ride. Which made him give up on his nap and stare outside the window after changing the seats with taehyung.

.....

Taehyung knew he almost sounds desperate. But he had to do this to get something... ANYTHING between them to work. It would be amazing if he could get jungkook to get jealous and realise his feelings, but the boy would only hurt jimin in the name of jealousy. He didn't want the two to grow apart like that.
So he decided to follow hobi hyung's advice like this. Playing the cupid.

He knew jimin wasn't asleep when he started talking. And he knew that the latter was gonna be sad in the process, but it's for the best he thought.

......

"Jiminie hyung?" He was dragged out of his thoughts by the younger's voice. "Yes kookie?" He asked as he turned to face jungkook.
"Are you free tomorrow?" A bitter feeling took over his heart as he remembered the talk of the two on the way back.
"It doesn't matter does it?" He replied. "What do you mean hyung?? I just wanted to know about your plans like always..." The younger pouted.
"I'm going out." Was jimin's reply.
"With jin hyung and namjoon hyung?"
"Nope. I told them that i have plans." He went back to sipping his drink.
"Then who are you going out with??" Jungkook asked. He was taken aback when jimin snapped at him. " I have friends too. Don't have to tell you everything. Do i?!"

He sighed and hugged the older. "I don't know what is making you moody hyung...but i hope you would just tell me if it's me" jimin was silent. So he took the chance to tell him about taehyung's invitation. "Tae tae wants to go out with me tomorrow" jimin didn't expect the younger to tell him about it. In fact he thought the younger wouldn't answer even if asked. It's the reason he acted all bratty about it.
"Oh?" Was all he managed to say as the younger continued. "I don't know why, he wanted it to be just two of us. That's why i asked about your plans. I didn't want you to be alone..."
There was the bitterness in jimin but a new wave of happiness took over him as he realised that the younger chose to open up about things with him.
"Have a good time with him kookie" he said while smiling, half-hearted.
"Don't be sad...I would ask him to take u too but maybe he has something bothering him hyung...and if-" he was cut off by jimin.
"I know kookie. Tae have been weird for a few days... maybe he doesn't want to open up to me this time...make sure he's fine okay?"
The younger replied with a 'mm' and took a gulp from jimin's drink.

Jimin was thankful for the younger. Unlike before, he didn't have to drown in his own thoughts. Jungkook have reached out and made him feel better. He hummed happily as they spent the evening in the balcony.
