Four missed calls and about a few dozen unread texts notifications blinked at Namjoon on his phone. Sat outside the building he'd just run out of on a bench, he felt stupid. Rally stupid. This whole damn thing had been his idea. This entire project had been his fucking idea and he'd run because he couldn't help be jealous of the one person h'd wanted to be with.

Jin.

Kim Seokjin. His roommate, the man he'd thirsted over, longed for, wanted to do more than just fuck but hold and love and taken on stupid dates. He wanted Jin to cook them dinner and relax together talking about their day. That was all he'd ever wanted and this project was the one sure way to fuck it all up.

"Namjoon?" Looking up, Namjoon blinked at Taehyung who was smiling sadly at him. "Hey. Wanna talk about it?" he asked, crouching down in front of Namjoon.

"I don't know if there's anything to talk about Tae," Namjoon said, scrubbing a hand through his hair. "I just made a fool of myself."

"Kinda," Taehyung chuckled, putting his hands on Namjoon's knees. "But people do silly things when they're in love."

"I'm not in-"

"Yes you are, anyone could see it," Taehyung cut him off. "Except you and Jin of course."

"How would you know, you only just met-"

"Right, so if I could see it, so could everyone else," Taehyung said. "It's why you never asked him if he was gay. It's why you didn't want to include him in the video. You were scared he wouldn't like you back."

Namjoon hated that Taehyung may have been slightly correct. He did have feelings for Jin. Had for a while. But now there were others involved.

"How do you and Jungkook do it?" Namjoon asked, earning a laugh out of Taehyung. "No, not like that, I already know how you do it. I mean... the whole... sharing thing?"

"Ah, you mean polyamory?" Taehyung hummed, getting up and plopping himself right in Namjoon's lap. "Well, it starts with us realizing that we don't have to stop giving love to other people just because we love someone else. Long as we talk and communicate abut what we want and need."

"You ever think he's going to just... leave?" Namjoon asked. "Say he falls head over heels for someone else. What then?"

Taehyung laughed again, patting Namjoon's cheek. "Oh, he already has. And we talked about it, and as long as he's happy and safe, then it's fine."

Namjoon frowned. Jungkook loved someone else? "Who is it?"

"You, silly," Taehyung teased, poking at his bottom lip. "He's had a huge crush on you since forever and now that you two have been working together so much well... he's just smitten. I don't blame him, I rather like you myself."

Letting out a slow breath, Namjoon shifted Taehyung so he wasn't sitting right on his balls. "I like Jungkook too. But I also like Jimin, and maybe Yoongi?"
