Wheels Have Each Other

2. Dinner date

Point to note - 'extrovert' doesn't really have to mean 'over-friendly'. It just means that they can express their feelings openly and are very confident socially. 

******************

"PAIN!! YOU MADE ME A, YOU MADE ME A BELIEVER!! BELIEVER!!" 

Taehyung was busy grooving to songs on full volume when someone knocked on his door. He ignored it and continued. 

"PAIN!! YOU BREAK ME DOWN, YOU BUILD ME UP, BELIEVER!! BELIEVER!!" 

Another knock, which he ignored once again, this time with a roll of his eyes. 

"PAI-" the door flew open and he scrambled to turn off the song and apologize to his seething father. He had not expected him to be the one knocking on his door. He thought it would be his painfully annoying sister. 

"Didn't I tell you not to play music so loud in the house? How many times should Eomma call you??" Hyungsik, his father, scolded and Taehyung hung his head, mumbling out an apology to his mother, who was standing behind Hyungsik with an angry frown. 

His younger sister Taeyeon, stood at the top stair, smirking at him for getting scolded. He threw her a glare but earned a growl from his father in return. 

"You are twenty-two, for god's sake. Get your shit together and meet me in the living room in forty seconds," Hyungsik ordered and walked down the stairs. 

Taehyung rushed to throw his speakers into the cupboard and flew down the stairs, knowing if his father said 'forty seconds', he meant 'forty seconds' literally. 

"Good," Hyungsik commented when Taehyung plopped onto the couch in half a minute. Taehyung fidgeted with his fingers and waited silently for whatever his father was going to talk to him about. 

He supposed it would be about a job. He had graduated a couple of months ago, after all. He had gone for Computer Science because of his interest in coding. He loved coding and was almost an expert in it. 

Jimin had gone for fine arts, being more into dance than anything else, and had found a job as a choreographer in a famous entertainment company. 

Taehyung was looking for a good job in a good software company as well. He didn't want to follow his father's line of interests. He wasn't interested in such huge positions either. 

"You said you were gay, right? Do you have a boyfriend at present?" his father's question pulled him out of his thoughts and speculations. "Umm, no," Taehyung answered, albeit surprised. That was not the kind of question he had been expecting. 

"Any love interests?" 

"None," Taehyung answered. None had truly caught his eye yet. 

"What would you say if we suggested someone for you instead?" 

"Umm..." Taehyung frowned. Arranged marriage? Wasn't he too young for that shit? He worded out the same thought and earned a glare from his father for his choice of words. 

"I mean-"

"Answer what I asked, Taehyung," Hyungsik said. 

"Umm....I wouldn't mind," Taehyung said. 

"Good. Have you ever talked to my friend Jaewan's son?" Hyungsik asked and pulled his phone out, unlocking it as he talked. 

"Who? Jeongguk hyung?! I played with him until I was nine or something, right? He went to high school after that, so nah, not after that. Don't tell me he's the one yo-" he stopped talking the second Hyungsik looked up from his phone.
