F I V E

Double update hehe

TAEHYUNG had no idea why he felt a little spark of disappointment go through him as he saw the skatepark empty. Had he been looking forward to seeing the hot skaterboy? Maybe. It wasn't a crime to find someone handsome and to appreciate beauty.

After a few steps he noticed that the park wasn't completely empty. A boy with black hair sat on a bench next to the ramp, a carton box seated on his lap. The boy noticed steps coming to a halt and looked behind him, excitement on his face but it fell when he saw Taehyung.

"Oh sorry... I thought you were someone else", the boy spoke saddened, hands gripping the box tighter.

"You're waiting for someone?", Taehyung decided to ask, warily eyeing the other's tired posture.

"Yeah a friend of mine comes here often to skate so I expected to meet him here seeing he's always here at this hour", the boy shrugged, "But he hasn't shown up yet. He should be here by now. I'm worried".

For some reason Taehyung felt bad for the other boy. He seemed exhausted, his eyes stood dull.

"I'll stay here until he arrives if that's okay with you?", he suggested, already sitting down on the bench next to the boy.

"That's fine", the boy smiled, eyes going into crescents, "I'm Jimin by the way".

"I'm Taehyung", the brunette spoke, "So who are you waiting for?"

"My friend named Jungkook. Maybe you've seen him here before? Black hair, snapback-"

"Ripped jeans and stupid white shirts? Yeah I have met him before", Taehyung nodded, heart thumping just a tad faster at the mention of the hot skaterboy's name.

"You know him? Great!", Jimin smiled, "Well he is great. But if you met him you already know that of course".

"Yeah...", Taehyung trailed off.

Wind swept through their hair, rustling the trees in the park. Taehyung's eyes landed on the box in Jimin's hands.

"What's up with the box?"

Jimin seems startled out of his thinking and opens the box, showing off little decorated cupcakes.

"Want one? I made them since Jungkookie liked my baking a lot last time", Jimin smiled, offering a pink cupcake to the brunette. Taehyung took it and didn't hesitate to taste the cupcake.

"It's very good", he nodded, only needing a few munches to gobble up the whole cupcake.

"I'm glad", Jimin giggled, closing the box and looking around again.

The rolling of a skateboard across pavement broke the silence and both the boys looked behind them to see someone on a skateboard nearing.

"Jimin hyung?", Jungkook called out as he saw his friend sitting on a bench, "And... Taehyung?"

He came to a halt next to the bench, leaning the skateboard against it. Jimin smiled at him and stuffed the box in his hands.

"Look what I made!", Jimin grinned, ushering him to open the box. Jungkook suspiciously glanced between Taehyung and Jimin, wondering how they knew each other. After throwing a small glare in the brunette's direction he opened the box, smile immediately on his lips.

"Cupcakes!", he cheered, fully showing his bunny teeth now.

"They are all for you", Jimin said, laughing as he saw the surprised expression on the younger's face.

"I love you hyung!", Jungkook engulfed Jimin in a tight hug, the latter complaining about having difficulty to breathe. Both boys didn't notice Taehyung's eyes darken at the younger's words.

"Sorry sorry", Jungkook laughed, patting the other on the back, "Sometimes I forget you're fragile".

"Not for long anymore!", Jimin grinned, "Also what I wanted to tell you- I want you to be there at my last treatment".

Jungkook looked shocked and Taehyung was overall confused, feeling like he was intruding on something.

"Are you sure hyung?"

"You've always been there for me kookie, of course I'm sure", Jimin smiled, "I'll be going now. I wanted to give you the cupcakes now they were still warm. I'll see you soon yeah?"

"I'll visit you as soon as I'm done with my stupid singing lesson tomorrow", Jungkook nodded, almost having completely forgotten about the brunette's existence.

Jimin waved both boys goodbye and went home, telling Taehyung it was nice to meet him.

"What are you doing here?", Jungkook deadpanned, now back focusing on the brunette.

"He looked lonely so I decided to talk to him", Taehyung answered, kind of amused by the other's cold behavior.

Jungkook chuckled dryly, "Oh? So you actually talk to people? For fun? Well that's a surprise to hear".

Taehyung knew he hurt the other's feelings the last time and that he was acting cold for that exact reason. He decided to ignore it.

"You two seem close", he started, eyes going to Jungkook as he crossed his arms, muscles flexing.

"Yeah and?"

"Are you two together or something?"

Jungkook arched an eyebrow, "You know something called 'friendship' exists right? That happens when you have actual conversations with people and care about them".

"I'm familiar with the concept", Taehyung was amused by the younger, "I was just asking".

"Stop asking questions If you're planning on being rude later. I have no intention being called a kid again and told that I shouldn't care".

Taehyung kept his mouth shut as Jungkook turned around with his skateboard in hand, making his way to the ramp. The brunette really wanted to tell the younger to stop being so childish but he knew nothing good could come out of that. He watched the other walk away, arching an eyebrow as Jungkook suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Oh by the way", Jungkook said without looking back around, "You should really learn to blend your make-up because you're not fooling anyone trying to hide those bruises. But why would I care?"

He walked further, leaving a stunned Taehyung behind whose hand went to his black eye, silently cursing himself for being bad at hiding his bruises. He quickly ran out of the park, scared anyone else would see them.

"Guess I hit a sensitive nerve... Stop caring Jungkook, just stop", the skaterboy told himself, focusing back on his skating.
