Chapter twenty.

"What do you mean you got suspended?" Mr. Kim stood at the counter with his wife beside him, equally surprised, "For beating a kid up?"

Taehyung stared blankly at the two, waiting for his mother to say something as well.

"Well...he said it was self defence and the kid hit his head, do you know how bad that could've ended?" Mrs. Kim chimed making Hanseul who had been eating in the corner nod.

"You should've given him brain damage," Hanseul spoke with a bunch of food shoved in his mouth.

"Why didn't the principal defend you? Why didn't anyone help?" Mr. Kim crossed his arms no longer mad at his son.

"Well she also said it was self defence but apparently I broke his nose so they had to take...action. And then um," Taehyung thought carefully on how he spoke, "The guy also got suspended and Jeongguk did too for helping me."

"Jeongguk helped you?" Mr. Kim raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Taehyung nodded, "He said someone was...behind me? Going to hurt my head my head too, so he did this." Taehyung used his hands to recreate what Jeongguk which made the other two warmly smile at him.

"Alright, go up to your room Jimin and Hoseok are probably waiting. No going out while you're suspended though, kids always come back for more if they lose."

"Okay." Taehyung stood up and made his way upstairs with a grin. He excitedly opened his room door to his two friends sat on his bed waiting.

"What did they say?" Hoseok put his phone down while Jimin silently admired the expression Taehyung had on.

"They said it was also self defence and let me go. I can't go outside though." Taehyung sat down on his bed and crossed his legs while the other two shuffled to face him.

"What did you need to ask us?" Jimin brought up the random call Taehyung had made.

"Oh right, I was watching this Kdrama and the girl also had memory loss. But she regained everything after she kissed her boyfriend," Taehyung explained himself as the others nodded, "Did I have a boyfriend?"

Hoseok looked at him confused, "Do you remember that you're gay? Oh my God- if someone is gay and then get memory loss do they forg-"

"Stop being stupid," Jimin glared at the boy who frowned, "You didn't have a boyfriend."

Taehyung also frowned, "Oh, did I like anyone?"

Hoseok began to laugh, "You and Jimin liked each other once! And kissed!"

"Hoseok!" Jimin smacked the boy who only laughed harder, "Taehyung don't remember that, don't listen to him."

"Why? Was it bad?"

"Yeah! You two were eating each others face off and then you suddenly stopped and at the exact same time you both said you're better off as friends." Hoseok burst into another fit of laughter. Taehyung didn't remember it, but seeing his friend laugh began to make him laugh too.

"Yeah it was like that, and then you ended up liking Jeongguk." Jimin blurted out making him freeze along with Hoseok stop laughing.

Taehyung's eyes widened, "Did I?!"

"Y-yeah, um...you.." Jimin glanced at the other boy for help who was equally as nervous.

"You two like...liked each other for a long time, and then you got into the car accident so I guess it's changed now." Hoseok added on receiving a nod from Jimin.

"Oh," Taehyung frowned, "Did we ever kiss?" The two shrugged in response, "Jimin, when did we kiss?"

"Um...when I came to visit you at your uni, like 2 months in? And you liked Jeongguk for a while but was confused and shy so I guess the kiss helped you clear everything up."
