"did she seriously call you his future husband?" yoongi scrunched his face up.

"shut up, that's absurd." a female's voice was heard before jeongguk's voice boomed through the speaker.

"y'all, even if i get married, it won't be happening no-"

"but you kissed twice when you both were sober-"

taehyung abruptly hung up the call, throwing his mobile aside.

"you kissed?" seokjin gasped.

"what the fuck did i just hear?" yoongi scratched his ear. "y'all kissed?"

taehyung scratched the back of his head. if he lied, he'd have to lie multiple times. it'd be better to just tell the truth.

"yeah. last night." taehyung licked his lips.

"you were at his room?"

"no, ew hyung!" taehyung threw a pillow at namjoon. "stop thinking dirty."

"but you did sleep together-"

"anyways!" taehyung flashed him a smile that said 'shut up'. "we went to a fair and yeah we kissed in ferris wheel."

"that's like a fairytale." hoseok gasped. "oh my go-"

"it's danger." yoongi looked at his boyfriend in disgust.

"what do you mean, danger?"

"what if he's just trying to sleep with tae? y'all literally started with sex and kissed on your first date? and he's okay with that? i mean, i understand about taehyung. he's always horny but what about jeon? seems sus to me." yoongi said truthfully.

taehyung shrunk into himself and seokjin launched a pillow towards yoongi.

"shut up. let the kid have fun while he can. atleast he's not sleeping all the time like you." he said, noticing how taehyung's mood dropped a little.

"kid," yoongi called out and taehyung looked up. "im not discouraging you, okay? just... be careful, always. you do know how it turned out when you jus-"

hoseok grabbed his hand, stopping him from saying anything further.

"anyways, what i'm saying is, you should just be careful. i'm rooting for you two, okay? don't think i'm saying he's not trustworthy. he seems to make you happy, huh." yoongi teased.

"kind of," taehyung leaned his head back on the couch. "i think i'm moving on? i don't know, i just feel good and safe with him and it's new because it's a gender i've never been with after him."

"but he's a person after all." namjoon said. "no matter the gender, their race, their skin colour, we're all people. even if he's a guy, the emotions you feel are still the same. if he makes you happy, if he makes you want to be with him all the time, go for him. don't let people who make you happy go."

"...namjoon, i need your brain." yoongi said. "that's just what I wanted to say."

"your brain to mouth filter doesn't work. my boyfriend's works wonders." seokjin teased and yoongi narrowed his eyes at him.

"what are you? 5?"

"yoongi!"

taehyung just smiled, namjoon's words spinning in his head.

if he makes you happy, if he makes you want to be with him all the time, go for him.

taehyung sighed, closing his eyes. what if he made a wrong decision? he wants to wait for some time. until he figures out his real feelings. he only has two weeks until jeongguk leaves.

•••

friday arrives way too fast and jeongguk finds himself calling taehyung at midnight.

"hello?" taehyung's raspy voice is heard over the speaker and jeongguk's cheeks tinged a light pink.

"are you asleep?"

"who is it?"

"i'm gguk." jeongguk smiled softly when he heard taehyung gasp.

"is everything okay? why did you call so late?"

"i just missed you." jeongguk teased.

"oh really?" taehyung teased back, sleepiness laced in his voice.

"no, stop dreaming." jeongguk scoffed playfully before laughing. "anyways, come out."

"what?"

"come out of your house. there's bodyguards outside and they won't let us come in."

"what the-" taehyung gasped and sat up on his bed. slipping into his slippers, he walked down the stairs of the mansion and towards the front door.

unlocking the main door, he walked out towards the main gate.

jeongguk waved at him as he unlocked the gate and walked out.

"what are you doing here so late?" taehyung asked as jeongguk wrapped his arms around his waist to give him a hug.

jeongguk gestured at his skateboard and grinned. "it's friday."

taehyung's eyes softened and he looked around. "i thought you forgot about it."

"no," jeongguk smacked his chest before resting his ear against it. "how could i?"

"you wanna go skateboarding right now?"

"yeah, i mean there's no one around." jeongguk shrugged, looking up at him. "do you want to?"

"are you here alone?" taehyung asked, glancing at the younger's lips briefly.

jeongguk licked his lips, smiling slowly at the realisation taehyung wanted to kiss. taehyung inhaled sharply at that.

"what do you think?"

"you are?"

"if i am, then will you kiss me?"

somehow in the dark, jeongguk seemed to be bolder. taehyung hummed.

"yes, i'm alone." jeongguk said and taehyung leaned down his head. slotting their lips together, jeongguk closed his eyes shut, gripping onto taehyung's shirt tightly.

"guys, what the fuck?"

taehyung stopped moving his lips when he heard a female's voice behind jeongguk and he pulled away from the kiss to look behind him.

four people were standing there at a distance, skateboards in their hands.

"you said you were alone." taehyung said, stepping back from him. jeongguk grinned mischievously. "can't afford to lose a chance," he winked. "you still up for skateboarding?"

"yeah, i'll be out in a few minutes with my friends."

"okay." jeongguk let him go, patting his back and watching him run back in.
