He's WHAT? (Taekook + Jihope) ✓

14

Jungkook sighed and glared at the older before focusing on eating again. He needed to fill his tummy before he could walk down on the memory lane with none other than his smart ass manager who was just counting down the seconds before he could hear the story from the brunette's mouth. After all, he didn't really know if anything ever happened at all. He only heard from a friend during a random conversation that another model named Jimin was once close to Jungkook but for some reason they don't even greet each other now. That was all he knew and it didn't even mean anything but now that he tried to use it against Jungkook without any hope, the situation took an interesting and unexpected turn. He had just shot an arrow in the dark and luckily the target was dumb enough to walk right in front of it.

Once the younger was done with his meal, he wiped his mouth and took in a deep breath.

"I'm going to repeat this so sink it in your blood. I'm not gay."

The older nodded while suspecting the statement with each cell in his body now.

"He's just a guy I knew, okay. Just someone who debuted with me as a model. He turned out to be gay and I stopped interacting with him. End of story. Now let's go."

With that the younger stood up and walked out of the restaurant before his manager could stop him again. The older paid for the dinner and followed after. The brunette was waiting next to the car since he didn't have the remote to unlock it and the pink haired male had no intention of helping him in running away from this. He was a bit disappointed that he didn't get anything juicy from his boss but the reaction he got from him upon the mention of Jimin's name was highly suspicious. Maybe there was something he was hiding after all.

"It's such a nice weather, Jungkook. Let's walk for a while."

The brunette scoffed at him and raised an eyebrow when Hoseok came closer.

"No thanks. Unlock the car."

Jungkook's order was neglected as the older swung his arm around his shoulder and grinned.

"No. I would like to know more about Jimin since your next shoot is with him."

The brunette looked sideways and his face paled.

"You're kidding, right?"

The older shook his head innocently and pushed him ahead a bit.

"Let's walk."

The younger complied as he ran a million things through his head trying to figure out what was he being dragged into. He was brought out of his thoughts when Hoseok spoke again.

"When will you start talking about Jimin? Or do you want me to narrate it all for you?"

The younger sighed and looked at the older as they walked.

"Look, I don't know what you found out but whatever it is, it's not true. We never had a relationship, okay? I never invested in it. It was completely one sided. I'm straight as my hardened dick, okay? I'm not gay at all."

The older hid his amusement at the desperation in his boss's voice and wondered if he could try his luck again.

"What about the pictures?"

As if he knew about the existence of any but Jungkook didn't have to know that. Which was why his eyes were widened to the size of a saucer and he panicked far worse than anyone does during an armed robbery.

"You can't let anyone see them, Hoseok. This isn't funny. It can ruin my life. And Jimin's, too. He's in a relationship now and you know it."

/Wow, okay what?/

Hoseok was biting his inner cheek to keep his cool at the idiocy of his boss who was stupidly putting out his secrets in front of him in panic without knowing that the pinkette had close to zero percent idea about anything he was saying or going to say which made it all the more overwhelming for him.

"I won't. But I need to know the whole thing from your side before I speak on your behalf to anyone else. And don't lie about anything or it will come back and bite you in the butt later. I'm sure you already understand that."

The older spoke monotonously despite his inner screaming at gaining blackmail material against the younger. He didn't really think there could be anything important but he was sure that Jungkook would most definitely make a big fuss about the pointless thing he was hiding.

Jungkook raked his hand through his hair and looked around before facing his manager.

"Let's talk in the car."

The older agreed and walked back to the car with Jungkook in tow. Once they were seated, the younger turned to his side and scooted closer to the older like a kid does when he's about to tell a secret about how his toy can actually fly. The pinkette tried his best not to show that he was dying to know already.

"When I started modeling, Jimin and I were coincidentally working together on one of our shoots. We knew each other since we started together so we were kind of, uh, close on that set. After that shoot we often met and had lunch and stuff but I didn't realize that Jimin started to have feelings for me. Hell, I didn't even know 'gay' was even a thing."

The older nodded as he saw the brunette tug at his hair as he spoke.

"Anyways, one day Jimin told me he had a secret and I didn't expect him to come out of his closet. He right out confessed and I.. I freaked out. I freaked out and I.. I just-"

"Ran away?"

Hoseok completed the sentence for the younger and saw him sigh in defeat indicating that he was right.

"Yes. After that I haven't talked to him or met him. And I would really really really really love it if you cancel my shoot with him. I can't be in the same place as him. It's really awkward."

The pinkette realized something and pointed it out loud.

"I have been listening to you quite carefully, Jungkook, and not once have you called Jimin a trash or anything mean like you do with Taehyung. As I see it they are both models who work or worked with you and are gay. Also, you didn't say you hate Jimin like you claim about Taehyung. You said it's awkward with Jimin not bad. What I understand from this is that you have feelings for Jimin."

Jungkook looked like either he just got caught or he just got shot in the heart.

"I.. I don't. No. That's- come on, Hoseok. Be smart. I told you before multiple times that I'm not gay."

The older shook his head as he placed a hand on his shaking boss.

"Don't worry. I won't tell anyone anything. Just be honest with me. I told you I'll be your hyung tonight, not your manager. Tell me the truth, Kookie. What happened with Jimin? At least trust me that much after knowing me for so long."

The younger gulped as he stared at the older's eyes for confirmation that it was indeed a sincere moment before he pressed his lips in a thin line and shut his eyes as he mumbled lowly.

"I.. I kissed him."

He sighed as he continued.

"I kissed him after a few weeks, Hoseok hyung but... *sigh* it was too late. He had found someone else by then. Those pictures of our kiss shouldn't be circulated, hyung. He didn't initiate it nor did he respond to it. It was all me. Not him."
