2: take my place

...you were worth it.

Yoongi shoved those words to the back of his mind as they were once again filling him.

He should have never believed it. Taehyung was this stubborn though? Who would have believed it?

He can risk his life for someone, but he can't risk his pride, dominance, and dignity? Pssh..

There's something off about, him Yoongi thought.

"Happy birthday!" Seungyoo cheered.

Taehyung sighed as he sat on the couch with his arms crossed. Seungyoo pouted then proceeded to sing happy birthday.

Taehyung groaned as he slumped down on the cushions. "Please...stop."

"-Happy birthday. Happy birthday to you!" Taehyung sat up immediately upon hear the deep voice that harmonized with Seungyoo's as she finished the song.

"Ya! Blow the candles out you punk," he said with a serious face, making Taehyung nervous.

"Oh stop it! You're scaring him babe!" Seungyoo scolded as she lightly hit his arm, but he barely flinches.

"I was? Oh.." He grinned to replace the serious expression he had on his face. "I'll introduce myself formally," he said before clearing his throat. "I'm Choi Seunghyun, but you can call me T.O.P.."

"Ha-ha," Seungyoo laughed sarcastically. "You can call him hyung, he's just messing with you."

"Oh, can I leave now?" Taehyung asked. He wasn't in the celebration mood and really wanted to go to his unit and hibernate for the rest of the week.

"No! You cannot! I won't allow it!" Seungyoo yelled. "No one should be alone on their birthday.." Seungyoo frowned.

Seunghyun pressed his index finger in between her brows making her expression neutral.

Taehyung sighed. He still couldn't believe T.O.P from Big Bang was right in front of him, and he didn't freak out even a little.

"No it's all right. I'm thinking about going home this weekend." Seungyoo pouted.
"I'll be with my dad and mom, stop pouting."

"Whatever. Just remember to come visit us next time, okay?"

Taehyung nodded before tossing aside the party hat and grabbing his coat.

"So this is the stable you inhabit?" Jungkook said immaturely as he stepped foot inside Hoseok's small apartment. "I guess it will do...for now."

Hoseok, rolled his eyes. "Whatever, just remember the deal we had, yeah?" Hoseok reminds. "And don't get close to Yoongi," he adds.

"I don't know...I actually kinda like him..." Jungkook purses his lips. "What will you do in return?"

"Uhh.." Hoseok thought of something that Jungkook might want, but reality hit when he realized just how much he knew the younger. "Well, what do you want?"

Jungkook unlocked his phone, and checked his calendar.

"Honestly...I'm not even interested in the final anymore," Jungkook said. He'd already convinced the teacher into putting him, Taehyung, and Yoongi into a group without the two knowing. And it was easy since they were both hospitalized. "Take my place."

Hoseok nodded his head, really wanting to be in a group with Yoongi. "But you have to keep Taehyung busy during these days."

Hoseok looked at the calendar, not finding the schedule random at all. "Okay, I'll do it.
