The days following their heartfelt revelation had settled into a comfortable routine for Taehyung and Yoongi. Their relationship was no longer a secret hidden in shadows; it was now a vibrant part of their lives, woven into the fabric of their group dynamics. The teasing had become a ritual, an almost sacred daily task for their friends. Each member of the group took turns poking fun at the couple, igniting laughter and playful banter that echoed through the practice room.

“Hey, lovebirds!” Jimin called out one afternoon, a cheeky grin plastered across his face. “You two might want to save some of that energy for the dance practice! Or is that your secret warm-up routine?”

Taehyung, ever the dramatic one, turned to Yoongi with an exaggerated gasp. “Did you hear that, Yoongi? Jimin thinks we’re too busy smooching to practice!”

Yoongi, who had grown more comfortable in his own skin since their relationship blossomed, merely rolled his eyes but couldn’t help the small smile that crept onto his lips. “Well, if it means more time with you, I don’t mind,” he shot back, nudging Taehyung playfully.

The rest of the group erupted in laughter, the sound filling the air with warmth. It was moments like this that made Yoongi feel lighter, more open. The teasing, once a source of embarrassment, now made him feel accepted, loved even. He found solace in the fact that his insecurities were met with laughter and camaraderie rather than judgment.

As the days turned into weeks, Yoongi gradually found himself more at ease around the group, revealing his vulnerabilities in small doses. One day, during a casual hangout, Yoongi opened up about his past struggles with anxiety and self-doubt. He shared how he often felt like he wasn’t good enough, even within the group.

“I’ve always thought that if I didn’t fit the mold, if I didn’t excel like everyone else, then I’d be a burden,” he confessed, his voice trembling slightly.

The room grew quiet, the weight of his words settling heavily on their hearts. Jimin moved closer, wrapping an arm around Suga’s shoulders. “You’re not a burden, Yoongi-hyung. You’re one of the most talented people I know, and you’ve always been a part of this family,” he said softly.

Hobi nodded, his expression sincere. “We all have our struggles, but that doesn’t mean we don’t love you just the same. You’re strong, even if you don’t see it.”

Taehyung, who had been quietly listening, scooted closer, taking Yoongi’s hand in his. “You don’t have to hide anything from us, Yoongi. You can share your worries, your fears. I promise I’ll always have your back, no matter what.”

Tears welled in Yoongi’s eyes as he felt the love radiating from his friends. “I’m just so scared of being vulnerable,” he admitted, his voice breaking. “It’s hard for me to open up. I didn’t want to ruin our friendship with my insecurities.”

As if on cue, Jin gathered everyone into a tight embrace, enveloping Suga in warmth. “We’re all here for you, Yoongi. You’re never alone,” he whispered. “You’re our family, and families support each other.”

With that, the group hugged tightly, laughter mingling with tears as they reassured Yoongi. Taehyung held him close, feeling his heart swell with love and pride for his boyfriend. The feeling of acceptance washed over Suga, lifting the weight off his shoulders.

From that day on, Yoongi began to bloom. With Taehyung by his side, he became more comfortable with himself and his emotions. He even began to embrace the teasing, often playing along with the jokes and returning them with witty comebacks that left everyone in stitches.

“Hey, Taehyungie-hyung, did you hear? They say love makes you stupid!” Jungkook chimed one afternoon as they prepared for practice.

Taehyung, ready to defend their love, shot back, “Yeah? Well, at least I’m stupid for someone who’s worth it!” He grinned at Yoongi, who felt his cheeks heat up from the affectionate declaration.
