"OH WHY?! WHY ARE YOU LEAVING MEEEE?" Hoseok yelled dramatically as he dove on the floor, latching onto his best friend's leg.

Taehyung kicked at him, trying to free himself. "You idiot, did you forget that you're coming with me? Are you even packed?"

His hyung's wailing ceased immediately. "Oh yeah," he grinned cheekily. "Are any of the others coming? What about Jimin and his people?"

"Nope. Just us. Yoongi has his family stuff to deal with, so he couldn't make it. Namjoon still has his job to focus on. Jimin, Jin, and Jungkook all have their responsibilities to take care of back home."

"Ooh."

Taehyung smiled in remembrance and debated telling his best friend about Jungkook. He shrugged. Why not? "I got Jungkook's number." He smiled brightly.

"You what? And you didn't tell me?!" Hoseok was back to yelling dramatically. Taehyung rolled his eyes at the comedy act in front of him.

"It just happened last night, calm down."

"Is that why you were so late? I had thought that maybe you spent the night with some stripper or got high off of some psychedelic drug." He leaned in close. "You want to share?"

He earned a slap in the back of the head with that one. "No, pabo. I was at Jimin's hotel with his brothers. I literally just said that, were you not paying attention?"

"Is his brother cute?"

"Of course. He told me he liked me last night. But I told him that we couldn't be together. At least, not anytime soon."

Hoseok nodded in agreement. "Your fans are insane."

Taehyung laughed. "I know, that's what I told him. He looked so cute though, I made sure we exchanged numbers. I want to at least talk to him while I'm on tour. Maybe I can get to know him better."

"Aren't you worried about what Jimin will do?"

"Not particularly. Yesterday, he acted pretty normal after seeing Jungkook flirting with me. I don't think he'd mind."

"Whatever dude," Hoseok cackled. "I'm about to head to see my girl at the cafe. I'll be back soon." He got up and pulled on a jacket before walking to the front door of the apartment.

"She's not yours yet!" Taehyung called behind him right as the door was about to close.

It didn't take long for him to finish packing, so he pulled out his phone and plopped on his bed as soon as he was done.

He scrolled through his contacts before finding Jungkook's. He hit the message button and quickly typed.

V: hey! I just finished packing for tour. :)

Taehyung stared at his phone for a while, waiting for the other to respond. In the meantime, he got up to make himself a cup of cocoa.

Kookster: whoa, didn't expect you to text me so soon!

The idol took a few drinks from his cup before downing the entire thing, feeling the scorching liquid burn down his throat. Why did he care about the boy so much. He was Jimin's best friend for fuck's sake! Taehyung placed the mug in the sink and went to his living room. He threw himself on the couch, holding his phone close up to his face like he was about to kiss it.
