fourteen

It's been a few minutes since they lost the sight of Taehyung's father, still walking hand-in-hand. They could feel the warmth of the other's hand against their own.

Jungkook was the one to let go of the grip first. Clearing his throat, "this doesn't mean anything. I only did it because it was uncomfortable."

Taehyung let out a scoff, "I could have handled the situation just fine. You didn't have to butt in."

Jungkook rolled his eyes, "not even a thank you for taking you away? Not cool, Taehyung."

"Thank you for what? I'm not a damsel in distress that needed to be saved." Taehyung said, staring at the other, "Also, why were you uncomfortable? I was the one who was facing my so-called father."

Taehyung made eye contact with the other as Jungkook turned his head to glance at him. He saw as the other looked at him for a few seconds with an unreadable expression and then looked ahead again.

"You won't understand."

Taehyung frowned, "why?"

"Not everyone has the ability to be a nice human, you see." Jungkook smirked, looking at him and dodged the kick on time as Taehyung had aimed his leg.

"Fucking bitch."

Jungkook only laughed as Taehyung grumbled and glared at him.

"Jungkook."

The said boy turned his head to look at the other, "what?"

Taehyung opened his mouth, but then closed it just as quick. The question on the tip of his tongue yet he couldn't voice it out. Why did you introduce yourself as my mate?

It was an odd thing that Jungkook did. He was well aware how both of them hated the idea of being eachothers mate, so Jungkook introducing himself on his own will as his mate was weird. It made Taehyung feel weird.

He looked away, "nothing."

Jungkook frowned, "what-"

"What are you guy's doing here?"

Both of the boys looked forward and saw the rest of the boy's walking towards them. Ice-creams in hand.

"Did you two talk?" Yoongi asked, handing over two ice-creams to the boy's.

Both of the mate's took the ice-cream, glanced at eachother, looked away and then shrugged.

Yoongi scoffed, "this is what I wasted my energy on? Unbelievable."

Everyone started walking again while Jimin took a few steps back and then walked alongside Taehyung. "Did something happen?"

Taehyung let out a small chuckle, "are you a psychic?"

"Only when it's about you." Jimin winked playfully but then turned serious again, "what happened?"

"My so-called father happened." Taehyung said. Jimin frowned, confused, so Taehyung continued, "I met him. Just now. He came over wanting to have a talk. He was here with his wife and son."

Taehyung had explained and Jimin's face visibly got angrier with each sentence, "that son of a- how dare he show his damn face after everything that he did? The audacity." He let out a frustrated huff.

Taehyung shook his head, "Don't boil your blood over this, it's fine. He doesn't deserve so much importance."

"What did Jungkook do? Wasn't he with you?"

"Yeah he," Taehyung cleared his throat, "he kind of interrupted and, well, dragged me away."

Jimin raised his eyebrow, suspiciously, "and?"
