Ignore the mistakes plz :)

Third Person POV

Yoongi invites Taehyung to the milkshake outing a week later of the whole ordeal.

Taehyung hasn't seen nor heard of Jeongguk in the whole week. Didn't go to the arena even though there were two performances, meaning their were two matches. He didn't obviously go to Nova either.

It's not like he's so desperate to see him but he still thinks there could be more nice ways for Jeongguk to tell him to fuck off and not show him his face again or force himself in their circle.

Taehyung tries to not think of that night but it's not something you easily forget.

Taehyung's all and completely forgotten he had a crush on Namjoon after the truth came out and he's so glad about that. Yoongi says he believes him and tell him to stop talking and saying sorry every chance he gets because he's annoying him now and he says it fondly.

Yoongi had told him if he has any idea he was crushing on Namjoon he would've confronted him and told him the truth.

"I only thought Jeongguk was teasing and was just trying to work me through you." Yoongi had said to him.

"If I knew your crush was real I would've told you the truth. I should've mentioned it. It just never seemed important and I don't go around announcing it either. Not that I'm ashamed of it." Yoongi told.

And Taehyung understands. It's not Yoongi's fault that he had a crush on his boyfriend. No one knew except Jeongguk and Taehyung was stupid enough to mention his crush to him before anyone else.

A good lesson learned right there.

The first thing Taehyung says to Namjoon when he joins them in the café is sorry.

"Oh for fuck's sake, Kim Taehyung." Yoongi groans.

"I'm not talking to you." Taehyung says to Yoongi.

"There's really no need, Tae. It's all good." Namjoon says.

"I just want to get that mess behind us is all. I---I don't want to make it awkward and possibly be the cause of any discomfort between you two as well." Taehyung utters.

"There's no discomfort and no awkwardness so please rest assured." Namjoon smiles.

"I honestly don't feel like that anymore. No more crush or anything, I swear on my flowers." Taehyung says in a nervous stance.

"It was a little respectful crush and I still respect you but that's all and you two are so adorable together." Taehyung coos.

"Like I said, it's all good. Though I'm quite flattered." Namjoon gives a dimples smile.

Yoongi slaps him on his chest and Taehyung chuckles at the two, truly finding them adorable.

"I'm also sorry for how that night went." Namjoon says.

"I really don't want to think about it." Taehyung mumbles.

"Though it'd be a shame to miss out on such amazing performances." Taehyung sighs.

"Don't stay for the fight then. Stay for the performance." Namjoon suggests.

"I asked him to do that but he says no." Yoongi says.

"I'll ask Yoongi hyung to record them for me." Taehyung shrugs.

"Right." Yoongi scoffs.

"You'd do that for me, right?" Taehyung gives him his puppy eyes.
