when he's not your bias,
him as your insecure boyfriend

Taehyung came in his shared apartment after a long day out for work. You walked to the entrance ready to welcome him but a frown is visible on his face.

"Have a bad day, Tae?" you helped him took off his coat and hang it on the hanger while he walked straight heading to bedroom. "Have you had dinner? I can make you something."

"Did you eat?" Instead of answering, he turns around and throw back the question.

"No, I was waiting for you." You grin sheepishly and it was enough to make him do the same.

"Okay then, I'll bath and we'll eat dinner together."

After done his bath, Taehyung was drying his hair when he noticed your stuffs. His heart beats in an uncomfortable way when he notices some familiar things. Shrugging off the thoughts, he left the bedroom and go back to the dinning room where you are waiting for him.

Taehyung was welcomed by two plates of kimchi fried rice decorated with a heart shaped egg and a bowl of beef ramen. It's undoubtedly mouth-watering dishes to have.

"I'm just craving for both so I cooked only one bowl of ramen, then we can share. Hope you don't mind."

"Of course I don't."

Both of you start eating in silence until he noticed the hoodie you are wearing.

"You bought a new hoodie?" He eyed the unfamiliar hoodie for seconds before your answer makes sense to his mind.

"Yeah, it's the latest Fila hoodie that you guys advertise. Since the public sale are still like next week, Jungkook gave it to me when all of you were done shooting the commercial video because I keep saying that it was so pretty." you chuckled, not noticing the glum expression of your boyfriend beside you.

Even though he feels uneasy, he can't say anything about it. It's crystal clear that Jungkook is your bias from the group but the fact that you are dating Taehyung instead of him sound a little twisted and sometime it makes him feel insecure. Sometimes he even wonders if you have the same amount of feelings for him as much as he has for you.

He loves you, a lot but he couldn't bring himself to confront you about his feelings. He doesn't want you think that he's being sensitive over something so small. He doesn't want you to keep a bad feeling about him. He is just so scared that you'll leave him one day if he complaints too much. He feels so insecure, especially at time like this.

Now both of you are sitting on the couch while watching some movies. You just left to bathroom a while ago and Taehyung was focusing on the TV screen until your phone screen lighted up as a notification came in. His eyes darted away and landed on your phone and that's when he realized that it wasn't him on your lockscreen.

Obviously, you have your bias as your lockscreen.

Jeon Jungkook.

"Tae?" you came back to the living room only to welcome by the empty couch, with the TV screen still playing the movie. "Where's him?" you muttered to yourself since Taehyung rarely leave like this.

Grabbing your phone, you walk to the kitchen, thinking he might getting some drink or snacks but he's not there. Turning your head to your bedroom way, you wonder if he went there, but why?

"Tae?" you peek in your bedroom and saw him sitting on the bed with his head hung low. Something must be happened.

Slowly you walk closer to him and took a seat right in front of him. Eyeing his body language, you know he was bothered by something. So you took his palm and rub it gently.

"Is something wrong?" You asked in a softest voice ever. He looks so fragile right now, so vulnerable that you want nothing but engulf him in your arms. His eyes was glistened with tears that threatened to fall anytime soon.

"D-do you still love me?" A question slipped out from his quivering lips while a gasp left yours at the same moment.

"Of course I do. Why would you ask that?"

"M-more than Jungkook?" The second question caught you off guard as you were confused about the mentioned of Jungkook's name out of the blue.

"W-what? What's with the sudden 'Jungkook' in this topic-"

"Answer me. Do you love me more than you love Jungkook??" His voice raised a little. He seems desperate and you know what might caused him like this. A conversation between Jungkook and you replay in your mind, especially the last sentence from him.

'I wonder why Hyung never complain about you getting my goodies instead of his. He's very protective toward you. It's a surprise that he say nothing about it.'

Your mind made a simple guess and you try to confirm it.

"Is it because of me wearing this hoodie? Or me collecting his goodies? Or his photo on my lockscreen?" you were right. He looks away immediately, maybe he feels shy or embarrassed.

Smiling a little, you hold his chin slowly to makes him turn back to you before hand him your phone.

"Unlock it, you know the passlock." you requested but Taehyung still look confused. His gaze went back and forth from the phone and you until you gave him another nod, signalling him to unlock them.

Once he hits the passlock, your phone was unlocked and there he is, a candid photo of him that you took secretly is set as your homescreen wallpaper. His eyes widened at the view as a drop of tear fall on his cheek.

"W-when did you took this? I-" he didn't managed to finish his sentence because you pull him right into your embrace.

"I know what you think, Tae. But trust me, it's definitely you. Yes, Jungkook is my bias. I collected lots of his goodies and it's a benefit for me since my boyfriend is his best friend but it doesn't mean that I love him more than you. The love I have for him and the love I have for you is different. I adore and love him as a fan and a friend. But with you, I swear to God, I love you so much. Don't get me wrong, I'm your biggest fans too, the only difference is, there's romantic feelings between us which I don't have with Jungkook." you parting a little and wipe away the tears on his chocolate cheeks before landed a long peck on his natural pouting lips. A habit that he does when he's crying.

"Like this phone, I might have him as the lockscreen like how I always be loud about wearing his goodies and be his fans but dig a bit more deeper. Inside the phone, it's you. In my heart, it's you. I belong to you. It's definitely you. Always." a smile rose upon his glowing cheeks as you return it happily and the next thing you know, he pulls you in a bone-crushing hug.

"Of course. It should be me."
