Scared To Get Too Close (Vkook)

Mortification

"Jiminnn," Taehyung growled, stomping over to the boy that was cowering behind a laughing Hoseok. "I'm going to kill you!"

"I'm sorry!" Jimin whimpered, raising his hands in front of his face defensively.

"I had to be seen wearing that!" Taehyung snapped, fisting the clothing in the palm of his hand. "Do you know how embarrassed you made me?!"

"I know, I'm sorry! Don't hurt me please!" Jimin pleaded, shutting his eyes tightly and clinging onto Hoseok's back for his damn life.

Taehyung sighed defeatedly, flopping himself down on the couch. ". . . He was there," He says in a hushed voice, Jimin opening his eyes in shock. "Oh my god! Wait--I thought you couldn't remember what he looked like?" Jimin furrowed his brows together and finally came out from where he had been hiding behind Hoseok and sat down next to the brunette.

"No, I did, but he recognized me! And," He paused and smiled slightly, sinking his back into the couch.

"He's so fucking hot, I couldn't believe it."

"Really?"

Taehyung nodded. "Though....he was arrogant as fuck." He groaned, pinching the top of his nose at the memory. "He wouldn't even give me his name. Apparently, I have to earn it or something."

"Well you were dressed up in a kitty--" Taehyung fixed Jimin a pointed glare before he could even finish the sentence.

"And who's fault was that?" He growled, covering his face in his hands exhaustedly. "First passing out in the cold and now this. He probably thinks of me as some sort of weirdo by now."

"Well, in my defense you are pretty weird. And secondly, you have his phone number."

"I know that," Taehyung frowns, folding his arms over his chest. "Besides, what am I meant to say? 'Give me your name or else I won't pay you back like I promised'? Sounds lame."

"Well, just make him tell you his name."

"Like how?" Taehyung asked, furrowing his eyebrows in confusion.

"Flirting," Jimin says, wiggling his eyebrows, and grinning.

"I'm not gay," Taehyung says, trying to hide the blush on his cheeks by turning his head in he other direction.

"Bullshit," Jimin frowns. "You just said he was hot."

"I can admire a man's beauty, can't I?"

"No. A guy who is straight does not admire a man's beauty. And I remember that one time when you slapped that hot strangers ass at that club. You are so totally gay."

"I'm bisexual. Happy?" Taehyung snaps.

"Finally, the truth reveals itself. And no, I am not. Not till you actually hook up with this guy and stop moping around me all the time."

"Good luck with that."

"You're such a pessimist, Tae. What happened to your chipper, optimistic side that made us best friends?"

"He died when Mina did." There was bitterness to his voice that quickly shut Jimin up with a small gasp.

"Tae--I'm sorry--I didn't mean to--"

"No, it's okay. It's just, the truth hurts, you know?"

Jimin nodded instead of responding.

"Here," Taehyung says, handing Jimin the frilly cat attire, obviously changing the subject.
Jimin takes it with a small 'thank you', and lifts his head up to look at Taehyung as he opens his mouth to speak once again. "Why is there white stains on it?"

Jimin chokes, quite loudly, and hides the clothing behind his back in embarrassment. Hoseok coughs as well, and Taehyung takes note of the way they both send each other a quick glance, as if having a silent conversation.

"Wait--don't tell me-- oh, god, no, and I wore it and everything!" Taehyungs eyes widden incredibly, his face scrunching up in disgust. "You did it, in this outfit, and fucking hell you didn't tell me you two were together!"

Hoseok looks at Jimin, and looks as though he was going to say something but Jimin covers his mouth before he gets the chance.
Taehyung, however doesn't notice.

"Yuck, I need to have a shower now. No, make that like five. Or twenty."
