Chapter Nineteen

"Yoongi?" Jungkook shouted in shock. The mint-haired male whipped his head up, making eye contact with Jungkook.

"Jungkook? Oh, well, this is officially awkward."

The room got quiet until Hoseok spoke up. "In case you didn't know, this is Min Yoongi. My new boyfriend." He grinned.

Yoongi's eyes traveled to Jungkook before flashing a small smile. Jungkook could see in his friend's eyes that he really was happy, and that made him happy in return. Jungkook gave a smile back. "I am really happy for you two!"

The whole room got silent. Jimin whipped his head around to face Jungkook. "What? You're happy that your best friend is dating a guy? What the hell happened to you?"

Jungkook laughed, throwing his head back slightly. "Why don't we just get back to the game?"

After a few more rounds of truth or dare, the group decided that they were bored and wanted to play something else. They took a few minutes trying to think of a new game. Finally, somebody mentioned Would You Rather? and the group agreed.

"I'll go first!" Jin shouted, raising an arm in the air like he's at school. "Jimin, would you rather work your ass off in school to get straight A's, only ending up with B's in all of your classes, OR would you rather slack off and get C's?"

Jimin pondered for a minute before answering. "I'm generally a hard worker so I couldn't imagine slacking off. I would rather work my ass off and get B's." He paused, searching for his next target. "Yoongi hyung! Would you rather-"

Jungkook tuned out the game, eyeing Taehyung out of the corner of his eye. Taehyung had been awfully quiet during the game, and was fidgeting like crazy. He leaned over into his ear and whispered, "You okay, Taehyung?"

Taehyung nodded, not even turning his head to look at the younger. Jungkook could tell something was wrong but he didn't want to push it. "Would you rather go home or stay here?" Jungkook tried to make it a little funny, incorporating the game into his question.

"Home." He said quietly, his voice cracking.

Jungkook nodded before standing up, putting a hand on Taehyung's arm. "H-Hey, so Taehyung isn't feeling well, so I'm going to take him home." He turned to face Namjoon. "Thank you for letting me come, hyung. And it was nice meeting you all."

While walking Taehyung home, Jungkook realized Taehyung stumbling a little over his feet. Jungkook snaked an arm around the older's waist to keep him balanced. Taehyung stopped in front of a door before clearing his throat. "Um, well, this is me. So, I guess I will see you around?"

"Taehyung, you can barely walk on your feet. I want to make sure you get into bed and everything okay, and then I will leave. And no is not an option."

Taehyung pursed his lips before nodding, taking out his keys. The boys walked down the hallway of Taehyung's apartment, but at the end of the hallway, the older froze.

"Taehyung?" Jungkook questioned.

"Where the fuck have you been, son?" A gruff voice called from what Jungkook assumed to be the living room.

"Why are you home dad? I thought you were gone on business?" Taehyung straightened up his back, trying to look and sound confident.

"They let me come home a few days early. So, this is what you do when I'm not here. You bring guys home and probably fuck in my bed or on the couch where I have to be exposed to all of your gay diseases." His dad spat the last few words.

Taehyung flinched. "No, dad. I just wasn't feeling well so my friend wanted to make sure I made it home and to bed okay. That is all."

Mr. Kim threw the beer bottle in his hands into the wall in frustration, causing the glass to shatter. "I told you not to fucking lie to me, Taehyung!" He shouted before walking over and grabbing his son's collar, slamming him against the wall.
