65. Shopping & Lunch Date

Saturday seemed to drag on, with Jungkook deciding to spend time with his old friends, while Taehyung made his way back home after, ahem, a very tiring session with Jungkook. 

He found himself suddenly devoid of complaints and feeling refreshed. However, upon entering his apartment, he was greeted by the sight of Jimin and V cuddled up on the couch watching a movie. Taehyung decided to interrupt by jumping on the side of the couch to hug Jimin, who rolled his eyes at him. Sensing Jimin's obvious upset, Taehyung knew he needed to work on it.

"Aren't you happy to see me?" Taehyung asked as he hugged Jimin from the side, causing Jimin to momentarily retract away from V.

"No, now, get lost," V replied from Jimin's side, prompting Taehyung to give his brother a serious look.

"Thank me, you two got to cuddle right now because Jimin was supposed to go shopping with me." Taehyung retorted, prompting V to pull Jimin back to himself.

"Go find someone else to shop with you, we have to finish this movie." V insisted, attempting to shush his brother, who retaliated by smacking V's head.

"You don't get to speak, I'm talking to Jimin." Taehyung countered, but V grabbed his hand and twisted it, sparking a fight between them while Jimin was stuck in the middle.

"Argh! Can you guys shut up?" Jimin screamed, pushing them away from him to stop the fight.

"I know you're mad, and you have every right to be, but don't worry, we can go shopping now, and lunch is on me." Taehyung offered, but Jimin remained visibly upset, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Stop trying to manipulate me into your plans again. Now, get away, we were watching a movie." Jimin said firmly, shifting closer to V and laying his head on his shoulder, while V protectively held his waist, giving Taehyung a victorious smile.

"Fine then, if that's how it's going to be. Nobody likes me, do they? Just because I couldn't answer your calls once. But remember all the times I waited for you, even though you have a habit of being late? Whether it was for university or our simple dates, I never argued with you over trivial matters. And now, when I ask you to join me, you act as if I'm not even making an effort, and what I did was unforgivable." Taehyung said out loud dramatically, causing Jimin to sigh and sit properly.

"What do you want?" Jimin asked nonchalantly, and Taehyung looked offended, his puppy eyes shining as a pout of sadness formed on his face.

"What do I want? I simply suggested we go shopping together, and you—"

"Fine, stay for a while and let us finish the movie." Jimin relented, resting his head on V's shoulder again.

"No, he's not going anywhere for the rest of the day. You guys can do whatever you want some other time." V declared, prompting Taehyung's offended expression.

"No, I said what I said, we're going shopping, and that's final." Taehyung insisted, but V shot him a deadly look.

"You can't always get what you want." V retorted.

And Jimin had had enough.

"Can you guys shut up? You two ruined the whole movie for me. Now I don't even want to watch it, and Taehyung, you've ruined my mood for shopping too." Jimin exclaimed after standing up, causing Taehyung's expression to shift back to sadness.

"But you said you'd go, and now—" Taehyung started.

"Yes, I said it, and now suddenly I don't want to." Jimin declared with frustration, almost tearing up Taehyung, while V stifled a laugh, which didn't escape Taehyung's notice.
