taehyung walked out of the mansion about 20 minutes later, with three other guys.

"sorry, did you all wait too long?" taehyung asked, once they reached the other five.

"no, it's okay." jeongguk answered while his friends just smiled at the four.

"anyways, there's a park around the corner and it's so late, i don't think anyone will be there. we could go there or just skate on the streets." lisa said.

"let's go see the park first?" namjoon asked, a bucket hate covering the upper half of his face.

"sure!" the others agreed and everyone kept their skateboards down.

they went to the park. on the way, jeongguk's friends gave their introduction.

"so, are you all still studying?" seokjin asked, a white mask covering his face while his eyes were covered by his fringe.

"no, only yugyeom is. he had to skip two years of college for some reasons. he's in his last year." bambam said.

"and what about you all? working?"

"me and lisa have graduated just now so we're still looking for jobs. and jen and bam are already working." jeongguk said as he looked around the park, wind kissing his face as he cut through the path expertly.

"oh really? where do you work?" yoongi asked.

"i work at the modelling industry." jennie said. "as a stylist."

"and i'm a makeup artist." bambam said. "at the same company."

"does that mean you've met models?" hoseok asked curiously.

"yeah, a lot of models. i've even did his makeup once." bambam pointed at seokjin. "we know who you are, you can remove the mask now." he said and everyone stopped.

"what are you sayin-"

"you're the ceo of kim cosmetics." bambam said. "kim seokjin."

"what the— how did you know?" seokjin pulled off his mask and lisa gasped, looking at jeongguk and yugyeom with wide eyes. both of them were sporting the same expression.

"i was your makeup artist for your latest shoot," bambam said as he picked up his skateboard and walked up the small mound of grass. he took a seat down and gestured for the others to join him. "you were asleep for almost the whole time so you don't know me."

"wow," seokjin sighed sharply. "finally." he pocketed his black dental mask.

"seems like your other friends are just too shocked." taehyung snorted. "gguk, close your mouth."

"you're so cool." jeongguk sighed dreamily.

"thank yo-" seokjin was cut off by jeongguk.

"namjoon hyung, i've seen you in interviews with him. you're so cool!" jeongguk repeated and seokjin faked a gasp.

"ouch, kid, my feelings are hurt." seokjin said dramatically, yet a soft smile was present on his lips, because no one had ever appreciated his boyfriend.

jeongguk didn't even glance at him, too busy staring at namjoon who removed his bucket hat now. he looked into jeongguk's sparkling eyes, face blank yet a tiny blush shone on his cheeks.

"me-?"

"yes! im a big fan, can i get your autograph later?"  jeongguk asked excitedly and namjoon glanced at taehyung who was gesturing at him to say yes.

"say yes, or i'll kill you!" he mouthed, going noticed by all of jeongguk's friends but no one said a thing.

"y-yeah. sure. i'll get you my autograph." namjoon said. "...you can move away now."

jeongguk realised he was almost hovering above the older, and he moved back to sit on his knees, almost toppling over and falling but seokjin grabbed his arm.

"such a kid." taehyung heard yoongi mumble as they watch yugyeom and lisa go on and on about how much they respect seokjin and how they'd like if they got at autograph while jeongguk was still staring at namjoon with dreamy eyes from beside him.

"hey," taehyung leaned over and whispered. "namjoon's taken. i'm the only one single here."

jeongguk turned to look at him, knees hugged close to his chest. he rested his cheek against his knees.

"who said i liked him like that?" he asked, a small smile present on his lips as he watched taehyung fumble with his bracelet with a pout on his lips, his cheeks colouring a deep red. they could hear hoseok and lisa conversing at the back, loud laughs echoing in the park.

"no," taehyung shrugged. "i just thought i'd let you know."

"are you sure it's just that, though?" jeongguk asked, raising a brow. taehyung nodded, looking away.

"yeah, it's just that," he laid down on the grass and jeongguk followed.

"i don't think so." he teased as he crossed his arms under his head.

"it is-"

"jeongguk?" jennie called out slowly and jeongguk looked up at her, seeing her shifting closer to him.

"what is it?"

"the bruises on your waist. what happened?" she whispered. taehyung looked down at jeongguk's exposed waist to see handprints all over the pale skin.

"ah, that," he shook his head. "it's nothing serious. don't worry about it." he said.

"sure?"

"yeah." jeongguk gulped, glancing at taehyung. "i'm sure."

"okay." he made sure the older was gone before turning back to taehyung.

"who did this to you?" he asked, a finger grazing over the bruises gently. there was bitterness laced in his voice. possessiveness, even. "where did you get them?"

"taehyungie, these are your handprints." jeongguk said lowly. "you know, that night."

"i-i did this?" taehyung asked, eyes growing wide.

"yeah, i don't think you know how much of a beast you are. i've got sensitive skin." jeongguk teased and taehyung smacked his bicep.

"okay but hey, why didn't I notice your abs before?" taehyung whispered and jeongguk pulled down his shirt.

"stop staring, you pervert!"

"oh, pervert?" taehyung fake gasped. "are you sure you're talking to the right person?"

"yeah," jeongguk nodded, the smile on his features starting to fall. "you know, i don't only want you for sex, okay? i'm expecting more."

"more?"

"like a relationship? i know it sounds crazy right now but I hope you're not just seeing me for sex."

"oh no, god, no!" taehyung said, making sure to keep his voice low. "of course not."

"i'm okay with kisses because we've done that before but please don't go further without my permission. even though we've slept before, doesn't mean i'm ready again." jeongguk requested.

"of course." taehyung nodded. "i understand."
