The one he Likes (Taejin)

19 - Gifts are Gifts

"You can sit beside the window if you like."

Seokjin simply nodded and settled down. They were using a local bus, it would take them about 40 minutes to reach back. Taehyung sat beside him taking his earphones out as he plugged them in.

"Do you like Coldplay?"

He asked as Seokjin's eyes widened, a smile formed on his lips as he spoke up excitedly.

"I love them. Do you too-?"

"Ofcourse."

And this little moment made him like Taehyung even more. Taehyung plugged one of the earbuds in Seokjin's ears. 

Viva La Vida? 

Seokjin thought as the song played. The serene and tranquil atmosphere created by the soft, silvery light evoked a sense of solace and comfort for him. The sky being irradiated by the diamond like scintillating stars, the moon's soft radiance illuminating the sky. The night was transforming into a mesmerizing display of peace. There was a magical quality to this night, a sense of wonder and fascination that filled the air.

  Comfort, Seokjin found comfort in Taehyung's presence. He put his head on Seokjin's shoulders, eyes closed as they both calmly listened to the music playing. 

...

Taehyung sat impatiently, spinning his pen around. Seokjin wasn't in the hall, he'd usually reach much earlier. Jimin entered, raising his eyebrows at the sight of a completely bored and uneasy Taehyung. The hall soon filled. No sight of Seokjin.

"Something wrong?"

Jimin asked as Taehyung rolled his eyes.

"Everything is wrong with me apparently."

 Except that Seokjin only saw good in him, he believed Taehyung had a good heart, even though his company was clearly awful yet he somewhere believed Taehyung would like him back and wouldn't judge him like everyone else. Though he clearly knew a thing between them simply could never exist, yet he saw hope in Taehyung's eyes. He couldn't help it. He liked someone for the first time, he was happy for the first time. Those little interactions and touches made his day, though they probably meant nothing in Taehyung's eyes. Or that's what Seokjin thought at least. He was being petty but at least he was happy.

"Were you aware HyeJin held a party for you yesterday?"

Was Jimin smiling him? Was he mocking Taehyung? Or was he happy about Taehyung not going? Maybe everything. Jimin didn't blend well with Jungkook's friends at all anyways.

"I was busy."

"Oh, that's new."

What surprised him was Jimin's excited tone.

"I believe you should tell her at least what you were busy with, or with whom. All her hard work went in vain. You must be really busy, really."

The hard work sounded cocky. Jimin was tough to understand. Did he dislike HyeJin? Taehyung wasn't sure but there was nothing to dislike about her. Jimin and HyeJin, they never talked. They were simply there but never talked.

"Got something to say?"

"A lot."

This was the most irritating his friend has ever been. What was that weird smile and excitement for? 

"Can you give me your phone once?"

"Sure lover boy."

"Don't call me that."

Taehyung scrolled through his phone log stumbling on a specific person. seokjinie. Jimin refused, or simply lied about not having his number. Were they close? Didn't seem so, he never found them talking or hanging around. Either it was someone else or it was some real ancient mystery he should be figuring out.
