They turned and all their faces looked like ghost. Pale and colorless.
Taehyung smiled so wide. And jumped into the handsome man's arms. The man was fucking tall. Like a pole, well built and a gorgeous face.

Meet Kim jong-in. Taehyung's cousin.
Taehyung is really really close to his cousins. As they knew from childhood how sometimes his parents words or actions may affect. They were always there for him. And he was so grateful to them.
And Kim jongin or kai for short was his favorite cousin. Kai's family lived in Daegu... but seems like they're here now!
Jungkook was hell lot of jealous. Even more than taehyung. And now he understands why he got the treatment he got when he approached taehyung after almost an month.
He was getting pissed seeing kai's hand near taehyung's ass to balance him. But before he could murder someone, preferably. He was saved.
The two boys marched over them and taehyung chirpingly told the unknown boy about them. And atlast with a side hug to kai. Who's hands were now on taehyung's waist spoke,
"Guys, this Kim jongin. Or you can also call him kai. He's my cousin. And now he's gonna study here!"
Hearing the word 'cousin' Jungkook eased. And so did the other five boys. Or they were surely not ready for world War 3.
As soon as their introduction ceremony came to an end, came two more boys. Bickering their way. And taehyung squealed.
The two boys who were previously busy in bickering over... whatever they were bickering on gave attention to him.
And the boy... who looked like a xerox copy of taehyung hugged taehyung like a mother to her son.
Like a reunited mother- son duo. How emotional! Note the sarcasm.
It seemed like taehyung's cousin's friends they were.
Taehyung introduced them,
"This is byun baekhyun."
He said pointing at taehyung's own imposter.
And then again pointed at the bulky man. Almost like a hulk. Accept the green part that is. And then spoke,
"This is chanyeol. Park chanyeol."
He took a brief pause before dropping the bomb.
"They're a couple."
And their jaws dropped to the floors dramatically. Fucking hell!
Seeing their dramatic faces chanyeol wrapped his arm around baekhyun's waist. He was protective and possessive. One wrong word and your ticket to hell is confirmed!
They both had come across these type of faces and most of the time it went like, the people were homophobic.
Thus... chanyeol's reaction was getting in defensive mode.
Baekhyun understood his boyfriend and rubbed his waist. He knew they can't change homophobes. Honestly, people with this mentality should fuck themselves. Who are they to judge someone by their sexual orientation? Who are they, if someone chooses their happiness? If you don't know their story, you might just wanna shut their gutter of a mouth!
But when the five males broke into a smile chanyeol eased a bit. And baekhyun thanked every damn God up there that his boyfriend didn't felt the need to cause a scene.
Jimin squealed. Because as far as he knows they're the only homosexual couple. But not now since they have got another pair.
Jimin literally threw himself in baekhyun's arms. Finding someone like you is so much comforting in a way. He felt blessed at the moment.
Chanyeol was startled but didn't make a move to remove the tinier male away from his partner. Because the boy seemed to much emotional to be given this harsh treatment.
Baekhyun awkwardly rubbed jimin's back. Hoping to comfort him. And honestly the four males( jungkook, namjoon, suga, jhope) felt like baekhyun was truly a mother of these two soulmates and that they're actually blood brothers! Note the sarcasm.
After pulling away jimin wiped some tears which were being stubborn on not leaving his face.
Then he muttered in a small voice,
"Sorry for that. But I was overwhelmed seeing someone like me. Being a homosexual couple."
Then the couple understood how must it be for him. Sometimes even people we call soulmates can't help us. No offense to them but still. Sometimes till the time you won't go through that same shit you won't know how it is. How harsh or gentle or whatever it is.
After an emotional introduction and shit they went back to their lectures.
When lunch time came taehyung's cousin and his friends were going on different table but the boys invited them to theirs. And just like that new people were added to their small family.
And jungkook seemed to chilled about it. Exactly how taehyung thought he would be. He thought that was he overreacting over the yugyeom thing if jungkook was not jealous?
Was his jealousy valid?
Jungkook saw the look on taehyung's face and he immediately knew the boy was overthinking. He excused themselves. Pulling taehyung with himself and went towards a place what looked like a garden. After stopping he pulled his hands to himself much to his own sadness. But whatever.
Then he spoke. There was no judgment or harshness in his voice. It rather held worry. Deepest concern for taehyung. He asked,
"What are you overthinking about?"
First taehyung lied,
"Nothing."
He fidgeting while standing. Another thing he does when he's nervous. This time jungkook's voice came firm and stern,
"Taehyung."
Now, taehyung didn't had a option. He had to spill the truth. He spoke in a timid, small voice,
"I felt my jealousy over the yugyeom thing was invalid. You aren't jealous of my cousin. Yet I was being jealous over someone I didn't even know."
He sighed at last.
Jungkook took a deep breath and stepped forward. And cupped taehyung's cheeks in his hand. Forcing taehyung to look at him in the eye. Then spoke,
"Your jealousy isn't invalid, tae. It can never be. Everyone's emotions are valid. And so are yours. And emotions contain jealousy too. And jealousy can be a form of concern too. Don't overthink it. Okay?"
Taehyung nodded dumbly.
How can this handsome specimen of bunny looking have such a way with words. God!
After taehyung's brain registered the words he offered a dazzling boxy smile to jungkook. Which was replicated by jungkook's own bunny smile.
But then jungkook's mind popped a thought,
"Why was he only concerned about me being jealous of his cousin?"
He wanted to ask but that can wait.
After smiling at jungkook, taehyung wrapped his arms around jungkook. In a hug. His head resting on his shoulder. Taking the smell of cologne jungkook used. And it felt like home.
For the first time taehyung felt like home. And at that moment taehyung truly understood,
Home is nothing but a escape of reality at the same time being aware of it.
And he found his home. He just wish to never part away from his home.
