It Started Out With A Kiss || taekook ff

Chapter Eighteen

Later that night, Taehyung stared at his wardrobe, trying to figure out what to wear to Namjoon's hang out. He had tried on so many outfits his head was spinning, but after thirty minutes, he finally decided on light blue skinny jeans, a loose white t-shirt, and a dark denim jacket. After checking his face and hair in the mirror, he smiled. Not too shabby Taehyung.

He was jerked out of his thoughts when he heard his phone ring. He picked it up to see a text message.

Jungkook: Hey Tae, are you about ready? I'm almost at your place to pick you up.

Taehyung: I'm ready! I'll meet you outside.

Taehyung smiled. Him and Jungkook just agreed to a first date a few hours ago, but he felt so nervous just to be around him tonight. He wouldn't be able to control himself.

Taehyung shrugged off the thoughts before grabbing his keys and leaving his apartment, locking the door. He was glad his dad had been gone all week on a business trip and wouldn't be back for a few days, otherwise he would be in big trouble for leaving.

He walked out onto the sidewalk just as Jungkook was walking up. "There's my baby boy," Jungkook grinned before pecking Taehyung's lips. Taehyung could feel a light blush on his cheeks.

They walked together to the cafè, not holding hands, but their shoulders were touching almost the whole way, hands occasionally brushing against the other's.

They entered the cafè, realizing that they were the last ones in the group to arrive.

"Finally!" Namjoon shouted. "I swear you are never on time Taehyung. Oh-" Namjoon paused, obviously just noticing Jungkook. "Jungkook, right?"

Jungkook nodded. "That's me." He forced a smile.

Namjoon reached a hand out, and the two boys shook. "Kim Namjoon. This guy on my right is Jin, if you don't know him. On my left is Jung Hoseok, but we call him Hobi."

"Nice to meet you all officially," Jungkook said, trying to keep his voice from shaking.

Taehyung walked over and gave them all hugs, and then walked over and sat next to Jimin. "Jungkook, come over here!" He called, flashing his smile while patting the space next to him. Jungkook blushed a little and then walked over.

Jimin eyed Jungkook as the younger sat down next to his best friend. "Hey Taehyung, if you don't mind me asking. Why exactly did you bring your bully?"

Taehyung shrugged. "We came to an understanding, I guess." Jimin nodded, but Taehyung could still see a look of confusion in his eyes.

"Taehyung, why did you bring me here? This is kind of uncomfortable." Jungkook whispered directly in the older's ear, sending shivers down the older's spine.

"I wanted to spend time with you, Jungkook," Taehyung responded in a deep, raspy voice. "And I want my friends to get to know you. Not the person from school, but you as an individual."

"Who is up for a game of truth or dare?" Hoseok announced cheerfully. The whole group cheered in response, and formed a circle in the middle of the cafè. "Okay! I will start. Jimin, truth or dare?"

Jimin thought for a minute. "Hmm, dare."

Hoseok smirked. "I dare you to call your ex and tell him you still love him."

Jimin laughed. "Fine." Everyone was shocked. Jimin and his ex ended on pretty bad terms, but Jimin handled the dare with grace. "Next, how about Namjoon. Truth or dare, hyung?"

"Oh, truth."

"Who do you think is the most handsome one of the guys here?" The crowd "oo-ed" after Jimin asked his question.

"That's such an easy one. Seokjin-hyung of course!" Namjoon and Jin smiled big at each other before Jin kissed Namjoon on the cheek.

Jin flipped his imaginary long hair. "Everyone should agree I'm the most handsome."

"Cute," Taehyung heard Jungkook mumble. He nudged the younger a little bit, and the other looked up and gave a small smile to Taehyung. (Oh hey Jackson!)

"Jungkook, truth or dare?"

Jungkook sighed. "I guess I will take a dare."

Namjoon thought for a moment before nodding, making a decision. "This is based off of Jimin's question. I dare you to kiss the guy you find most attractive in the room, on the lips, for ten seconds."

"Oh shit," Hobi laughed. "That's an interesting one to give to a homophobe, Namjoon."

"Actually, I'm not that much of a homophobe anymore." Jungkook stated, matter-of-factly. "The most handsome you said?" Namjoon nodded. Taehyung felt his heart beat. He didn't want to watch Jungkook kiss another guy. They weren't officially dating or anything yet, but Taehyung could already feel the jealousy arising.

He was caught off guard by the younger's lips on his. He could faintly hear the group counting to ten. "Ten!" They shouted, and Jungkook broke apart before winking at Taehyung.

Taehyung was in shock. He could feel that his face was flushed. Jungkook had kissed him, claiming he is the most handsome. He was lost in his thoughts when he heard his name. "W-what?"

"I asked you: truth or dare?" Jungkook looked at Taehyung with curious eyes.

"Um... truth?"

"Who was your first kiss?"

Taehyung felt himself blush at the question. "My first kiss was Hobi, but it was completely by accident." Hobi laughed nervously.

"I want to know your first real kiss." Taehyung knew that Jungkook was teasing him. He hated it but it also made his heart beat really fast.

"Well, if you don't count that Tiffany chick at the carnival," Taehyung paused, looking at the ground, "then my first real kiss would be you." He mumbled the last bit, but everyone was still able to understand, not taking any time before erupting into disbelief.

"WHAT?" Jimin shouted. "Wait, this is not including the kiss that just happened and the kiss from the carnival, right?"

Taehyung nodded. "Not including those, Jungkook was my first real kiss."

"Wow, Taehyung, I am shocked." Hobi gasped.

Taehyung could hear Jin's windshield laugh above the chaotic voices of the friend group, and Namjoon just chuckled before saying, "That is definitely something I did not see coming."

The hyungs tried to get more information out of the two youngers, but it was interrupted by somebody walking into the cafè.

"Oh, hey," said the voice. "Sorry I'm late." He sat down next to Hoseok. "What did I miss?"

"Yoongi?" Jungkook shouted.
