Eun-ji was the girl who lived next door and younger sister of Jungkook's friend. When her older brother went off to college, Yoongi asked Jungkook to look over her.
What he didn't know was she's had a major crush on him for as long as she can rememb...

"Congratulations and best wishes..." Taehyung greets the couple with a tight hug.
Akiko was quick to point out that she thought he'd miss the event. "You owe us big time!" She says with a huge smile on her pretty face to which Taehyung just chuckled while giving Yoongi an awkward smile.
In the past years, both men haven't talked to each other like they used to. Taehyung tried his best to get along with Yoongi, but your brother was still hell bent on ignoring him.
You noticed how Taehyung took another hit of rejection from your brother, luckily Akiko was gracious as always. "Hey babe, you good?" You asked him as he takes the seat beside you.
"Yeah, at least he didn't shut me up with sarcasm this time." He says with a weak smile.
"He'll come around eventually, just keep being your wonderful self..." You tease him with a light squeeze on his arm.
"Anything for you babe." He says sweetly, trying to mask off what he really feels. Being ignored, smirked at and attacked with sarcasm has been a routine for him when your brother is around.
You were always there to defend him or soften Yoongi's blow but Taehyung asked you not to defy your brother just for him. He said he can take anything your Yoongi oppa throws at him but he can't let you take the hit.
Taehyung on the other hand knows where Yoongi is coming from. He's not proud of walking around with a not so clean history with girls. But he has changed so much over the years, love does that to some people.
Still, your brother kept on warning you to stay away from him and said he'd cut you off if you start going out. But that's just Yoongi being protective. You both know he can't get rid of you and Taehyung in effect.
You smile at how childish Taehyung looks as he munches on his food like a cute squirrel with blown up cheeks chewing cutely. You get a table napkin and wipe the side of his lips for him to which he responds with a cute pout.
"Slow down... no one's going anywhere." You said between giggles.
"Are you sure you don't want to mingle with your other relatives? I'm perfectly fine right here, you can go greet everyone else around." He says, encouraging you to spend time with others.
"I did that already... remember you were late?" You tease him some more.
"I'll make it up to you, I swear." He bites his lips wanting to kiss you right then and there but he didn't want to cause a scene especially when he knows that Jungkook is just around. The thought of his best friend made him feel bad all over again. Good thing he has you there to always remind him that everything's going to be alright.
"Hey... I said to slow down a little, not to stop eating." You say chuckling, trying hard not to let him see that you're actually getting worried of how stressful it is for him to be around your family. All these years Taehyung has done nothing but to win their hearts, especially Yoongi's but nothing seemed to work.
You're nana was a totally different story. She loved Taehyung so much and made sure he knows it. She was sweet towards him and very welcoming. Your nana was the only person in the family who accepted him without questions asked. He loved your nana like his own and wept with you in grief when she passed away a couple of years back.
Now you're back to square one, with almost everyone in your family not agreeing a hundred percent to your relationship. Other people might get tired and just turn away but not Taehyung. It didn't matter that no one ever talks to him during family gatherings, what's important is he's with you.
You were called to take pictures with the rest of the entourage on stage while Taehyung stood behind. He said he'll wait for you until the event is done. After a while, he felt the need to take a breath of fresh air which always helps whenever he feels stressed.
Walking by the garden just outside the event venue, Taehyung found a quiet spot to unwind and free his thoughts with negative thoughts. Not that he's tired of spending time with your side of the family but he's more concerned with running into that person he's avoided for far too long.
Taking a deep breath, he closes both eyes to savor the fresh air. He was feeling better about everything until a hard punch hits him straight up his face, sending him falling on the ground. Blood trickling through his nose, he started wiping it off before attempting to get up. Taehyung wasn't clueless and knew he'd get this one day from that one person he betrayed. Jungkook.
