TAEHYUNG'S POV

"All right, boys. Let The Very Manly Book Club meeting commence."

I scrunch my nose. "The Very Manly Book Club?"

"We needed a name," Namjoon says.

"That's not going to be the name of our book club." I hold up my hand.
"And who made you the president?"

"I did." Namjoon puffs out his chest. "You can be the team captain on
the ice, and I'll be the captain of our smut books."

Jason nudges him with his elbow. "You have to read more than just the
sex scenes in order to be the president of our club."

Yoongi chuckles from the row behind us. "You did read more than just
the sex scenes, right?"

Namjoon scoffs. "Of course I did."
Jason arches a brow. "What was the main character's name?"
Namjoon flashes a triumphant grin. "Scarlett."
"Nice job, Joon." Yoongi rubs his palms together. "All right, so what
did you guys think about the book?"

Yoongi is our new goalie. He got traded from his Seattle team after his
fiancée cheated on him with one of his teammates. With us, he doesn't have to worry about that kind of disgraceful behavior. The Goldfinches are our family, and we'd never do anything to hurt our brothers.

"What I want to know is: What did you think of the fact that your
Boyfriend wrote a book about four dudes getting with one chick?"
Namjoon waggles his eyebrows as he gestures between the four of us.
"Because it sounds like he's hinting at something here."

Jason punches Namjoon in the arm since he's sitting closest to him.
"Focus on the book, dipshit."

"I think this was Jimin's best writing yet," I say. "He made a foursome believable. I was fully invested in each of their relationships."

Jason's eyes narrow. "What do you mean he made it believable?"

I hike a shoulder. "It's not like that stuff would happen in real life,
multiple partners like that."

"It could." Jason averts his eyes as he flips through the pages of the book in his lap. "It's not talked about as openly as monogamous relationships, but it's out there."

"Mormons are polygamous," Namjoon says.

"That was back in the nineteenth century." I pinch the bridge of my
nose, like I often do when talking to Namjoon about history. "Polygamy
isn't allowed anymore, and most Mormons don't still practice it."

Yoongi nods. "I think that's why these 'why choose' books are so popular. It's a taboo subject that you don't see every day."

"They're popular because they're hot as fuck." Namjoon points to his pants. "I had a boner the entire time I read this book. I had to stop and jerk
off, like, every chapter."

Coach turns around from the front seat of the bus. "Something you
should keep to yourself, Namjoon."
Several of our teammates clap and cheer in agreement.

Namjoon coughs out a laugh. "Oh, come on. Don't act like you guys are any better than me. Reading these romance books is the equivalent of
watching porn."

"Jimin gets turned on while he's writing." Yoongi bites back a smile. "I love being his research for these scenes."

My chest warms seeing Yoongi so happy after everything he's been
through. And Jimin is a sweetheart. Finding true love isn't easy when
you're in the public eye like we are, and they give me hope that one day
something might be out there for me too.
