TAEHYUNG

He walked into the club, seeing dozens of people dancing and swirling around one another to the tantalizing music that could be heard from everywhere. He'd gone by himself, Chris wasn't much of a party guy, at least not for someone he'd never met before. 

He weaved through the people, trying to tell where Jungkook's party was he said that they were all in a back room somewhere, but it was hard to ask people over all of the noise. 

"Ah Tae-Tae!" Jungkook popped out of nowhere, whipping around him with his hand son Tae's waist, his eyes were big and sparkled with the lights of the club. "Welcome to the party!" 

"Yeah! Where is it?" Tae held onto his arm as someone jostled them from behind, almost brushing Jungkook's cheek. 

Kook laughed and waved his arms around. "Are you kidding me? This is Jungkook's party! Not his." He shrugged, giving a devilish smile. "But let's go somewhere quieter, let's see what you got me, yeah? I have a feeling it's a painting...." He touched Tae's waist, pushing him along through the people which parted for him. 

"How did you know?" Tae gasped and played along. 

They went into a quieter area, where people sat quietly drinking at the bar or enjoying the view. Jungkook stopped right outside a window and closed his eyes. "Okay, I'm ready." 

Taehyung giggled and spun the painting around for him. "Open your eyes bunny." 

Jungkook opened his eyes, and his jaw dropped at the art, Taeh had painted it with so much care, Jungkook hugged Tae tightly. "I love it, I'll hang it above my bed, yeah?" 

"I don't think it's that important." Taehyung shook his head slyly. 

"You are." Jungkook put a hand under his chin. 

It shook Tae a little bit, seeing the look in Jungkook's eyes, it was nothing he'd ever seen before. Jungkook smiled playfully. "So flustered, poor tiger. Go, go, get a drink I'll go put this in my apartment." 

Taehyung ogled at the view around him, floors and floors full of people, all for Jungkook's party? He smiled and took a picture, the stairs and balconies full of a red, rich light. He posted it to his story before going over to a bar and ordering a drink he'd overheard while walking over. 

"I can get that for you." A voice says next to him, sliding cash over the counter. He looked up to see a guy with a mullet and neck tattoos. He smiled down at Taehyung. "You're pretty cute, who are you here for?" 

Taehyung tried to act causal, leaning against the counter, feeling his arm slipping. "Jungkook's party." 

"Oh? And how do you know him?" He had his own drink resting under his chin. 

"How do you know him?" Taehyung quirked a brow. 

"I'm one of his old...musician friends." He smiled, and stepped a little closer to Taehyung, looking down at him. "Don't be shy, tell me how you know him. "He pushed a hand up Taehyung's neck, curling a lock of hair around his finger. 

"He's my favorite artist, of course." Jungkook appeared out of nowhere and pulled an arm around Tae's shoulders, pulling him away from the guy. "Have a nice day, Moose." Jungkook pulled Taehyung away. 

"Who was that?" 

"And old friend. He's a fuck boy, stay away from him." Jungkook shook his head as they walked across the floor. 

"Ah, you just want me all to yourself, don't you?" Taehyung smiled up at him. 

"Yeah? So, what if I do?" Jungkook leaned down a bit, teasing the boy. "Come on Tiger, dance with me." He took both of Tae's hands and pulled him in a circle of the room. 

"Ah---I don't dance." He stumbled. 

"Now you do, come on Tae!" He took Taehyung's arm and started to spin him in the middle of the floor, very un-club like dancing, but Taehyung couldn't stop staring at Jungkook's smile. "Thanks for coming, Tiger." 

"Anything for you, Bunny." Taehyung smiled up at him as they started to move into a slower dance, the music seemed to follow us. 

"Anything?" Jungkook tilted his head, his eyes following down to his body. 

Taehyung looked away, blushing. "I-I--"

"I'm teasing you!" Jungkook put an arm around Taehyung, and suddenly the two heard singing. They looked over and saw a group of people carrying a cake. In fact, two people had the carry the cake over to Jungkook it was so big. 

Taehyung pulled away from Jungkook and started to sing and clap as well. People were recording and singing for him. Taehyung just watched him smile and blow out his candles. Jungkook stood for a couple pictures with the cake before beckoning Taehyung over. 

He walked tentatively over, aware of all of the cameras on him. How did he know all of these people? 

Then there was cake on his nose. He blinked up at Jungkook, who was laughing his ass off, frosting on his finger, Taehyung played along and swept some across Jungkook's cheek. 

"Alright I'm taking this away before you make things rowdy kookie!" One of the people holding the cake, called back. Jungkook protested but got another cheek full of cake from Taehyung. 

"Oh, you little rat!" Jungkook turned around, a devilish grin on his face, Taehyung giggled and darted through the crowd. 

Jungkook wasn't letting up though and chased him. Taehyung darted off, pushing through people and stumbling into a quieter area of the club, he turned around and saw Jungkook running at him, a fresh bit of frosting in his hand. Taehyung laughed and ran around a corner, tripping on someone's jacket, sending him down to the floor. 

Jungkook caught him, pulling him up to the wall. "Are you okay?" He was panting from all of the running. 

Taehyung's heart was racing, but was it because of the fall? He couldn't tell and was breathing just as hard as Jungkook. "Yes." He giggled nervously. 

Jungkook laughed as well, putting his head on Taehyung's shoulder for a moment. Taehyung put his hand on Jungkook's head, before pulling his hair, making him look up. "You'll have people looking for you, kook." He smiled. 

"But I want to stay with you." Jungkook le tout a pout, it struck Taehyung. He really was flirting with Taehyung. "Is that okay?" 

"Yeah, that's okay." Taehyung nodded, finally catching his breath. "What do you want to do?" 

Jungkook smiled.
