gucci boy // taehyung ✔️

thirty

You were in a good mood. You woke up cheerfully in the morning, even though you had work, and had to face Tanya.

Today, you wore a loose silk button-up shirt, paired with a black origami skirt. Taking your things, you left the house.

You didn't own a car, so you took public transport. You liked to listen to music while you took the train - today, your music was interrupted by a small ping.

unknown: Y/N? this is jimin

you: oh!! hi jimin!

you changed 'unknown' to 'jimin'

jimin: hey :)

you: i feel kind of bad for being so distracted when we ate cakes the other day. want to eat lunch together?

jimin: sure!

you: okay, I'll message you when my shift ends. see you!

jimin: see you :))

You greeted Jiheon as you walked into the store. There were no customers now, because it was still early. Tanya was nowhere in sight - she was probably late, or transferred to another outlet. 

You hope she was transferred.

"Hey Jiheon," came a voice from the shop entrance. "and Y/N." You rolled your eyes - well, there was always tomorrow. 

"Morning," said Jiheon curtly, barely giving Tanya a glance. 

Work was boring today - hardly any customers walked in, except for one, who wanted to know the directions to the nearest toilet. As usual, Tanya tried to throw shade at you, which was highly unsuccessful, thanks to Jiheon.

"Why do you look so happy, Y/N?" Tanya shot at you. "Did Taehyung finally acknowledge your existence?" Ah, finally. The true side of Tanya was out.

You opened your mouth, ready to retort. But Jiheon spoke first. 

"See this, Tanya?" Jiheon said, holding up a brooch. "It's a brooch. And it's rusty, just like your dissing skills. Find better comebacks first."

Yours and Tanya's mouths fell open simultaneously. 

"Excuse me?" huffed Tanya. "That's extremely rude."

This was the first time Tanya and Jiheon ever had a tiff - so the rest of your shift, you spent tidying up the staff room, while Jiheon and Tanya gave each other the cold shoulder. 

Soon, your shift had ended, so you dropped Jimin a message. 

you: hey jimin! my shift is over :)

jimin: right, i'll pick you up. see you in fifteen minutes.

you: see you!

The dorms were a short drive away from the mall - Jimin arrived in ten minutes. You saw him looking around the store, wearing a Kakao Talk Friends mask, a big hoodie, and washed-out jeans. He looked cute. Imagine Tae wearing that - oMG he'll look so boyfriend let me cry now. You shook your head to get rid of the thought. Grabbing your belongings, you walked up to Jimin. 

"Hey," you smiled. He looked up from a pair of Gucci shoes. 

"Hi! Where do you want to eat?" His eyes landed on something behind you - and they widened, filled with hurt and anger. You turned your head to see what or whom he was looking at. He had spotted Tanya, who was looking at him with shock on her face. 

"J-Jimin, I-"

"Save it," he said coldly, walking out of the shop. You said goodbye to Jiheon and ran after him.

"Wait, Jimin!" He turned around, eyes softening when he saw you.

"I-I'm sorry, I just-"

"It's fine. I know."

"You know?"

"Yeah. Don't ask how, I just do." You didn't want to tell him that his hyungs had told you - you didn't know how he'd feel or react. 

"Okay. Where do you want to eat?"

"How about the diner?" you suggested. Nodding, Jimin led the way back to his car.

Tanya watched the both of you with narrowed eyes. Pulling out her phone, she sent a message.

I saw Jimin and Y/N together. They're going to a diner.

I saw Jimin and Y/N together. They're going to a diner. 

Taehyung frowned at the message. It was from an unknown number - but who, and why was Y/N with Jimin?

He shrugged it off, deciding that they were just out for lunch as friends. Y/N would not cheat on him. But later, Taehyung decided that he was hungry, and should go to the diner to grab a bite. But really, he just wanted to make sure Jimin and Y/N were just having a friendly meal.

You and Jimin were sitting in the same old booth, waiting for your orders. You were talking about some small stuff, cracking jokes and getting to know each other better.

Jimin looked at you, his gaze different from when you were talking.

"Y/N..." without warning, he had leaned in and placed his lips on yours.

"What's going on?" said an angry, low voice.
