Forty Five

Blinding lights and deafening music filled the dance floor during the afterparty of the fashion event that Taehyung and his friends participated in.

"Congratulations!" Namjoon said as he handed the drinks to his models.

"Thanks, hyung." Jimin beamed, drinking the alcohol in one go.

Taehyung's concerned gaze landed on his best friend upon seeing how quickly he finished his drink.

"Don't get too drunk, Chim." Taehyung advised.

He took a sip from his own glass as he secretly scanned the place. There were famous faces on the dance floor, businessmen, and even artists who were all having a great time dancing to a popular song.

His eyes continued to search the crowd, only to feel disappointed when he failed to spot the person his eyes were desperately looking for.

"He probably went home already." He said, thinking out loud.

"Who?" Jin asked, curious.

"Huh?" Taehyung flinched.

"Who went home?" Jin repeated, and everyone's attention was shifted to Taehyung.

"Who? What are you talking about?" Jimin inquired which had Taehyung looking away.

"Nothing. I was just blabbering." He quickly responded, finishing his drink in panic.

There was an instant kick in his system that he disregarded as he excused himself to avoid further interrogation.

"Excuse me, restroom break."

Before Jimin could grab him, Taehyung was already making his way to the restroom. He had to pass through the crowd, a few bumps here and there, before he was safely out of the dance floor.

"That was wild." Taehyung murmured.

He made his way inside the restroom where he saw a couple making out near one of the cubicles. The two did not seem to care as they continued to eat each other's faces.

"Ehem... excuse me." Taehyung awkwardly said, walking quietly towards the sink. He wanted to turn around the moment he entered, but that would be too obvious.

The sound of the water coming from the faucet drowned the sound of kisses and moans of the two. Taehyung quickly washed his hands and grabbed a tissue from the dispenser. He could feel his cheeks burning from embarrassment with every second he stayed inside that place.

As he was about to turn and leave, his eyes caught a glimpse of a figure entering. Taehyung's eyes turned wide as saucers when he stared at the man who was stoned in the entrance upon seeing his face.

"Jungkook..." Taehyung uttered in surprise.

He saw Jungkook's gaze go steady on him before it darted to the couple who were heavily making out in the corner.

There was a hint of amusement in Jungkook's face before he looked back at Taehyung whose face was as red as a tomato.

Jungkook took a couple of steps towards Taehyung, carefully grabbing his hand in the latter's surprise, intertwining them before dragging him out of the restroom.

The warmth of their hands together made Taehyung's heart go crazy. He could not comprehend what was going on as he allowed himself to be led by Jungkook past the crowd.

"What are you doing here?" Taehyung asked, voice muffled by the blasting music.

Jungkook stopped, leaning down until his lips were almost touching Taehyung's ear.
