The next few weeks pass by and their bond strengthens. Something had changed that night, after the kiss and Taehyung loved it. He got closer to the younger, they'd sleep together on their couch, cuddling close together, which made Taehyung blush furiously, however he enjoyed the closeness and warmth. Sometimes, they'd even kiss, just light pecks but they were enough to build up havoc in his stomach. They haven't labelled anything yet, didn't even talk about the change in their relationship. He doesn't know what it means for the ravenette, but for him, it means the world, the younger means the world and Taehyung never ever wants something to ruin it.

Until one day, it all comes crashing down.

All his and Jeongguk's friends are at Seokjin's apartment. Seokjin decided to hang out all together, since they were soulmates and now they're all having dinner which he cooked. Everyone is talking about only one topic, Taehyung and Jeongguk, as if they are the main characters, teasing them about their rivalry and how they suddenly became the best of friends. Taehyung didn't want to stay just that.

All of a sudden, it became about Taehyung. About his love life and his soulmate. He hears Hoseok say how whipped he is for Jeongguk without actually mentioning him. Jimin and Seokjin make fun of him because he's such a coward for not confessing and his eyes land on Jeongguk and he swears he sees his face going stoic. The boxy smile disappears as he sees Jeongguk stop eating.

A screech of the chair against the floor, and Jeongguk stands up. Pair of six eyes darts towards him, and he fiddles with his jacket clearly uncomfortable because of the attention. "I'm going back, need to do something," he clears his throat before speaking. "Jeongguk, you just came—" Yoongi tries to say something but Taehyung meddles in between, "Hyung let him, I'll go with you, Jeongguk." He says to Yoongi and then addresses the younger in the later part of his sentence. He knows something is off, Jeongguk is sad. No matter how much he tries to hide it, Taehyung can look past his facade now. "I just remembered I have this assignment to complete." And they walk out without any further questions, an awkward silence hanging in the air. They are all puzzled.

Upon entering their dorm, Jeongguk pulls his hand out of Taehyung's and the elder plops himself down on the couch. "The food was great, wasn't it," he starts talking as Jeongguk takes off his shoes. "Jin hyung is a great cook, and your friends are so nice. I knew Yoongi hyung since he's Jimin's soulmate but I met Namjoon hyung properly for the fir—" a sigh and a click of tongue, "Why are you doing this?"

"What—" The elder doesn't know honestly. His question is vague and Taehyung raises his eyebrows in question, standing up in front of the younger who has his arms crossed, his right foot tapping continuously on the floor.

"When you're so utterly in love with your soulmate, why the fuck are you doing this with me then?" He simmers with anger or frustration, or maybe both, hissing those words with his teeth clenched. And all the air is sucked out of Taehyung's lungs. "What?"
