Him || JiKook

Chapter 15

"Should I go for the 'boyfriend material' or the 'I still got it' look tonight?"

Taehyung was standing in the hallway, wearing only his underwear and holding two set of clothing, one on each hand. Jungkook eyed both critically for a couple minutes.

"Do you like him or do you just want to bang him?" asked Jungkook, putting on some light wash jeans.

They were heading to a party, it was Baekhyun's birthday bash and since Taehyung was actually trying to get somewhere with the guy, Jungkook was attending as moral support. He was also attending because he had been 'stuck on a sexual rut' (or that's how Taehyung described it) since the 'thing' happened and his friend was worried about his mental health.

Taehyung was the one naming Jungkook's acceptance of his feelings for Jimin the 'thing', so Jungkook wouldn't cringe and try to hide for days every time they talked about it. Which wasn't much because Jungkook was not one for sharing stuff he couldn't control. Stuff another word for feelings.

Taehyung considered the question. "I like him... a lot." Jungkook gave him a toothy smile, pointing to the 'boyfriend material' attire.

"You should do both then," said Hoseok, passing a beer to Jungkook. "Keep the leather pants but wear the nice shirt." He continued, grabbing the items out of Taehyung's hands. "Never fails."

Both Taehyung and Jungkook looked at the outfit appreciatively. It was good.

"Is that how you got Yoongi-hyung to like you?" asked Jungkook teasingly.

"That and a wicked tongue, yeah." confirmed Yoongi, coming from the kitchen with a tray full of shots. Taehyung made a disgusted face making Hoseok guffaw.

Yoongi handed each of them a shot. "For a night to remember!"

'Cheers!' they said.

Jungkook drank his shot, going immediately for another one. Yeah, this was going to be his night. No more Jimin, no more complicated stuff lurking on his stomach. Tonight he was going to hunt.

Whoever said Baekhyun's celebration was going to be an intimate affair was a filthy liar.

It was huge, the house filled to the brim with people. Finding the actual birthday boy proved to be quite the quest, since they had to navigate among a sea of alcohol-fueled, lust-driven party goers. By the time they made it to the kitchen, Jungkook had lost count of how many times his was d and he was smiling like a cheshire cat. The party was heaven for his troubled soul (yes, he was being dramatic but hey... he'd had his share of alcohol already).

Fortunately, Baekhyun was in the kitchen among a group of people doing body shots. Taehyung beamed when he saw him, waving shyly, a blush on his cheeks. Hoseok cooed by Jungkook's side, and he had to agree. Seeing his friend so smitten was nice, it made him happy.

"So glad you guys could make it," said Baekhyun, taking a hold on Taehyung's hand. "Only rules for the night: enjoy the party and don't fuck in the rooms." he added before taking his friend away. Hoseok snorted.

"Drinks?" asked Yoongi.

Cups in hand, they headed back to the main area. It was weird to be doing this without Taehyung, they've been partners in crime for so long that Jungkook was feeling a little nervous. Nothing that liquid courage wouldn't fix though.

Yoongi and Hoseok were chatting animatedly with Namjoon and his girlfriend, plus another broad-shouldered guy Jungkook didn't know. He wasn't really in the mood for chatting so he made his way to the dance floor, scanning for something he might like. He was settled on getting a girl for the night, so he ignored all the hungry gazes the boys were throwing his way, searching for softer curves.
