Hwayoung (Yoonmin mafia)

Ch. 24 what's best

Taehyung was the first to leave their little dinner party, mainly because of Jungkook, being in the same room as him was suffocating. He texted Juyeon a little while ago. He was now waiting for him down Jimin's flat.

"Hey, hey babe~, did you have a great time?"
as soon as Taehyung saw him, he fast walked to hug him, hiding his face against his chest. "..i missed you." He couldn't meet Juyeon's eyes. He felt guilty.

"You look tired, want me to drive you home right away."
"Nono! Let's go to your place. I have a pillow to fight. "
Juyeon chuckled at Taehyung's comment and led him to his car, opening the door for him before taking place in the driver seat.

"So what did you guys do?"
"Not much, we ate and talked a bit. You should have joined us when you were done. You know them more than i do, except from Jimin, obviously!"
"Well, not really."
"Dont you work with them?"
"Not exactly, Im part of TheBoyz I work under Sangyeon hyung's order, he is the one in contact with Suga hyung my interactions with him are few, RM and Jin hyung well they're from the Kim clan we dont see them often. But I do spend time with Jack and Jk, Jk on a daily basis. We often hang out on our free days and have sparing games as we train together. "
"Hmmmm, I see!"
[Come on, what were the odds!?! The one he's close with is the one I want him to cross path the less...]

They arrived at Juyeon's place, once inside Taehyung was taking off his jacket. The hickey on his neck didn't go unnoticed by Juyeon, who placed his hand on tae's shoulder, frowing as he touched the red spot, as to make sure what it was. Tae froze at the contact. How was he going to explain. But to his suprise Juyeon didn't say anything. He took off his own jacket and put it away.
"That's it? You're not asking?"
"You said all you did was eat and talk, I dont have anything to ask."

He was about to go in his room when Tae stopped him.
"No, wait, I need to explain."
"... So something happened?" The expression Juyeon had made Tae's heart clench. He was looking worried and betrayed.
"Yes-No! Ah wait, let me strat from the begining please" he took Juyeon's hand, guiding him to the living room so they could sit. Juyeon followed obediently and waited for Tae to start. Tae told him all about his story with Jungkook and how they met to how and why he ended things. He was serious right now about Juyeon, so he felt like he owed him these explanations. The look he had as he noticed Jungkook's hickey was full of doubt. It made Tae's heart ache, it shouldnt happen in a couple. He had to clear it out.

"So he is the one who did that hickey? How did it happen? Didn't you say things ended? "
"Yes, it did! But he took me by suprise, I didn't even notice until Jimin told me, "
"By suprise?"
"I was in Jimin's room texting you, he took my phone and wouldnt give it to me, i tried getting it back but we somehow fell on Jimin's bed and that's how he did this, but i pushed him away instantly! This sounds made up, but I swear it's true. "
Juyeon's head dropped on Tae's shoulder "I trust you, thanks for telling me" he didnt know how to feel about the fact that it was one of his closest friend, can he be mad about this. He is aware of Jungkook's promiscuous lifestyle, but who would have thought the one he is dating was one of his frequent partners.
"No, thank you for trusting me and not getting mad, I'll make sure nothing like this happens ever again." Tae was relieved, but he felt even more guilty after Juyeon apologized.

The next day, Juyeon was training with some members, including Q, Haknyeon, and Mingyu, at the Min gang's gym, doing their usual workout. One person was missing for their group to be complete, and here he was coming. Jungkook entered and had already changed in his gymn clothes.
"Hey, hey guys, you're early today!" Jungkook joined them and met eyes with Juyeon."Ya Juyeon wanna have a sparing game? It's been a while. " his tone was playful, but his eyes were cold.
"Sure," answered Juyeon, maintaining eye contact.
