After dinner, the group was relocated to Jimin's house and soon after, a large wave of people took over the house like that one scene in the original Jumanji. Minus the alligators and human-eating vines on all the walls.

"So what did you mean by your relationship with Taehyung is interesting earlier?" Jimin asks as he pours cotton candy brandy (made by kids for kids) into a blue solo cup because we're not cliché in this house. Nor are we Toby Keith.

"I don't know. I was just trying to entertain everyone. How much do you know about our relationship?" Jungkook asks the older as he is handed a blue solo cup.

"I know that Jin is arranging your marriage. And that you didn't know until today."

"Okay well this was supposed to be our first date and every one believes that we've been secretly dating for a while but we've only recently gone public. I want to help and make it seem realistic but I've never really been in a public relationship so I have no idea what to do. I just want to make Jin and Taehyung happy. Tae thinks we can do this but I don't know how we're going to. It's just- it's stressful. And on top of that, I'm taking over a business that isn't technically mine. I don't want Taehyung to be mad at me for stealing his thunder or something." Jungkook says as he sits on the counter.

"Okay, Jungkook, take a deep breath. Taehyung knows you aren't stealing his thunder. He thinks that this arrangement is best for the both of you. And Jin wouldn't do this if he didn't think you could handle it."

"What's going on?" Taehyung asks when he walks up.

"He's just doubting everything. You two need to sit down and have a long talk about this whole thing. If you're going to make this marriage last, you're gonna have to get used talking about your feelings. Now, I'm gonna go grind on my finances." Jimin says, raising his cup a little before walking off.

"You wanna ditch and talk everything out?" Taehyung asks, trapping Jungkook between his arms by placing his hands on the counter on either side of the brunette.

"We're here to support Jimin. I don't want to just leave him."

"He just poured a huge cup of brandy and this house is packed. He's not going to notice."

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely. Come on." Taehyung says, standing up and putting a hand out for Jungkook to take.

Jungkook downs his cup of brandy before taking Taehyung's hand.

"So you mean to tell me, the first time you ever drank alcohol you drowned an entire cup full of brandy? That takes guts, Kook."

"I didn't know what else to do! I wasn't going to waste it and there was no way for me to get it back here to drink. So I just downed it all in one go!"

"Well alright then."

"Do you want me to go first?" Jungkook asks.

Taehyung and Jungkook were sitting on Taehyung's bed discussing different things such as Jungkook's ability to drink a large amount of brandy at one time.

"Sure." Taehyung answers.

"I don't know how well this is all going to work out. I know that you say it will be perfectly fine but I've never heard of an arranged marriage that lasted except the ones you read about in fanfics." (A/N: Hm, I wonder Jungkook.)

"I understand that and I'm not asking you to trust my statement because honestly, I'm not sure how much I trust my statement. With what seems like all the odds against us, I can see your doubt. Just try to stay optimistic."

"That I can do. But I want you to know that I'm not trying to steal the company away from you. And if down the road you want to take it on, then I would be okay with that."

"I know you aren't trying to take the company from me. I know things will be different in the future and I know for sure that I will mature but I think I'm going to leave the business to you."

"Jeez, thanks." Jungkook says with sarcasm.

"I'm being serious. I'll be the stay at home dad because we all know you'll be making more than enough money for a family of four to live nicely."

"I'd pay money to see that."

"You won't have to. I'll give you a discount." Taehyung says, winking.

"This is nice."

"What?"

"Us. Just us being alone. Literally most of the time we've had together, there was someone there with us. I could get used to this."

"Me too." Taehyung says and the two hug across their crossed legs.

A/N: Ooh, shits getting spicay. Dudes. Bros. Bitchachoes. My crush got back with her ex so I've decided to move on. So I'm back to my hoeish thoughts about a select few guys I go to school with. See you guys on Thursday.
