April Fools | A BTS Fanfic

FIFTEEN

TAEHYUNG'S POV

"Whoa, whoa!" Namjoon hyung exclaimed, standing up from his seat and walking over to where Jin hyung, Jimin, and I were still relaxing after our intense but enjoyable practice.

"Start talking and stop with the 'whoa-ing,' hyung," Jin hyung chuckled, as Jimin stared at Namjoon, clearly waiting for him to explain what had caused his surprise.

"Check out Y/N's tweet!!!" Namjoon said, excitement evident in his voice.

Jin hyung and Jimin's eyes widened in shock, as they took in the photo Y/N had posted on Twitter. Of course, I had already seen it. In fact, I had even left a comment on her post.

"Whoa," the rest of the members joined us, their attention now on the tweet.

"Y/N... She really is something," Yoongi hyung remarked, then turned to look at me.

I shrugged, returning my gaze to my phone as I opened our group account.

"I'm posting something too. It's time to drop more hints," I said with a mischievous grin, scrolling through my gallery until I found the photo Y/N had taken of me while I was pulling money from my wallet to buy her a drink after she gave me a ride back.

I pondered for a moment about what to write, but I wanted to keep it simple.

@BTS_twttt:

Had to buy a drink for someone who gave me a ride back to the building. 💜

As expected, ARMYs flooded the post with replies, their excitement practically jumping off the screen.

"Oppa, who are you with?"

"I'm ㅡ fhskshsksj you're so fine!!!"

"Take me on a date too!"

"I'd drive you everywhere without complaining!!"

And, of course, Y/N herself had dropped a comment on my post too.

"What a lucky driver! I bet the drink was as sweet as you are. 💜"

I couldn't help but smile at her reply. It wasn't anything out of the ordinary for our fans to leave comments like this, but seeing it come from Y/N... It made my heart skip a beat. What the hell, Taehyung. You like her, don't you?

"Aw, look who's blushing," Jimin teased, and the entire room turned their attention to me. Jin hyung wore an insufferably smug grin, which only made me roll my eyes at him.

"Did you just roll your eyes at me?" he asked, narrowing his gaze with mock offense.

Oh god...

Jin hyung stood up, picked up a shoe, and swung it at my arm.

"Ow, hyung! That hurt!!" I whined, trying to swat it away, but he was already winding up for another swing with his "deadly" shoe.

"That's what you get for rolling your eyes at me, kid. Not in my house."

"We're not even at home, hyung." Yoongi hyung blinked at him, staring up from his phone as if this argument was beneath him. Jin hyung looked at him, his face frozen in disbelief.

"Then not in this practice room! Ya, Yoongi-ah, you want to get hit too?"

"Yeah, sure, old man."

Jin hyung stared at us with wide eyes, his mouth hanging open as if he couldn't believe Yoongi just called him 'old man.' The rest of us chuckled, and he slumped back down, shaking his head in disbelief.

"I must've raised you all wrong."

"Tae, where's this picture from, by the way?" Jimin asked, changing the subject as he stared at the photo I had just posted.

"Yeah, I told you, Y/N offered to drive me back, but I didn't want to accept the offer for free. So I bought her a drink on the way here." Jimin nodded thoughtfully, then glanced at Hoseok hyung, who was oddly silent. Seriously, why do they always exchange looks whenever we talk about Y/N? Does Hoseok hyung like her?

"Wow, Taehyung-ah. Such a gentleman." Namjoon hyung tapped my shoulder as he got up to head back to his seat. Jungkook wiggled his eyebrows at me before joining the others who were already packing up. Jimin and Hoseok hyung had fallen into a deep conversation, no doubt about something important.

Jin hyung stayed by my side, typing on his phone. He was probably texting his mom again.

"Taehyung-ah, you should hang out with Y/N more often."

"Why?"

"I don't know. You two look good together. Maybe..."

"Hyung, just... don't. Okay? Let's not go there." I cut him off before he could finish, feeling my face flush. He opened his mouth again like he wanted to protest, but then, with a heavy sigh, he rested his head on my shoulder.

"You know we just want you to be happy, right?" Jin hyung murmured softly. I didn't respond, distracted by my phone as I absentmindedly scrolled through Instagram.

Then, I saw it...

Another post from Reese.

"Taehyung-ah!" Jimin rushed over to my side, and this time, I managed to successfully hide my phone from him. He eyed me with suspicion, but I kept my expression neutral, as though I wasn't doing anything wrong. Honestly, though, I wasn't doing anything wrong at all. I just happened to come across her IG post... again.

"I don't know what you're hiding, but I definitely saw her IG post," Jin hyung lifted his head from my shoulder, quickly snatching Jimin's phone from his hand.

"Her? Who, Y/N?" Jin hyung glanced at Jimin, smiling at first, but his grin faltered and turned into a scowl as he saw Reese's post.

"Really? Right after you post a picture of yourself in the passenger seat, she posts one of her in the driver's seat? This girl—" He cut himself off, clearly trying to rein in his frustration, but I could tell exactly where he was going. I sighed and watched as Jimin's phone was handed back to him.

"There are too many comments. Let's see what's going on. ARMYs are definitely going to misunderstand this," Jimin muttered, running a hand through his hair as he scrolled through the comments on Reese's picture.

Jimin wasn't wrong. Some of the ARMYs who followed Reese were getting too excited, assuming that we were together again. We'd never been overly public with our relationship, but we hadn't exactly hidden it either. Fans had seen us out together, on dates, and even on set when we filmed MVs or did promotional stuff. So, when they saw pictures like this, they automatically assumed she was my girlfriend—and in this case, they were right.

The reactions in the comment section were a mix of excited fans, thinking we were back together, and others who were less than pleased.

"I know what she's trying to do, and I'm not liking it," Jimin said, standing up and walking over to where Hoseok was sitting. Without a word, he dragged him out of the practice room with him. I glanced back at Jin hyung, trying to make sense of what had just unfolded. Jin hyung sighed deeply and shook his head.

"You better not let your guard down, Kim Taehyung."
