S*X MATE | Vkook

The wooden box played the melody Taehyung's mother used to hum when he was a kid. It was the music box of a song that she loved dearly, a song that she usually sang when she was happy or when Tae was sad, a song that connected both their hearts. It was kind of relieving and angsty, nevertheless it made the brunette smile.

He closed the box and placed it back on it's shelf, taking a note of its price and promising himself to buy it in future. He glanced at Jimin who was standing by the cashier, paying for something he bought.

Taehyung was Jeongguk's secret Santa. He was supposed to buy him something for Christmas but nothing seemed appropriate. He had asked Jimin earlier if it was cool to gift him underwears, since 'Jeongguk probably has rashes from wearing the same underwear for 3 days.', but the bestest best friend didn't give a green tick to the idea. He thought that it was gay to gift your friend pink underwears on Christmas.

Speaking of jeongguk- the dude had been acting weird.

The past week was a mess, Jeongguk wouldn't even look at Taehyung, he made sure to ignore him at dinners and bed times- since those were the only times they had each other's company. He would text Taehyung's anonymous self on 'Sex Mate' and tell him how hot his roommate aka Kim Taehyung was.

It continued for a while until Taehyung got annoyed and asked the younger to shut the fuck up and the next thing he knew he was blocked.

"What are you buying?", Jimin asked as he clutched tightly onto his several shopping bags, struggling hard to add another strap in his right hand, "I don't know.", Taehyung replied, thrusting his hands deep inside the side pockets of his leather jacket, "Should I buy him a teddy bear?"

"Dude!", Jimin gave him a weird look before turning his gaze towards the cashier, "Thank you.", he bowed and turned around, walking outside the store. Taehyung followed behind like a bored lost teenager, kicking air and whistling, dragging his feet on the marble flooring of the mall, wondering what wrong he did in his past life to end up in a mall with Jimin.

Don't get him wrong, but Jimin is that one aunty in the town who would bargain till the seller gives up and provides the goods in half a price. It had been 4 hours and Taehyung hadn't bought anything while the older was holding 20 different shopping bags in his hands, "You're useless Tae, can't even help me carry a single fucking bag.", Taehyung rolled his eyes, "I didn't ask you to buy all that dipshit."

"Wanna eat something? The food court is on the second floor.", "I thought you'd never ask.", Jimin rolled his eyes and Taehyung just stomped behind him like a brat, "You're paying.", "Wha-why?", "Because your jiggly dick keeps bouncing from shop to shop without keeping a track of time.", Jimin sighed, "You can't possibly do this to me Tae, I'm buying gifts for everyone."

Taehyung made a face and mimicked Jimin before stepping on the escalator, "You're buying gifts for the dudes you don't know shit about.", "It's Christmas Tae."

Jimin struggled with the hand bags on his either side as he and Taehyung stepped on the second floor. The younger practically ran towards the food court, while the red head exhaled and stretched his back, feeling like an old man- who lost his stamina after running for 10 seconds.

"Don't eat a lot, you need to maintain your body as a model.", "Shut up chim, you're just scared that I might put a hole in your wallet.", Taehyung snickered and munched down on his burger as the older placed the shopping bags on the blue table, "Can you go and buy a diet coke, nuggets, and fries for me? Large ones.", Taehyung smiled, Jimin sighed, "Sure."

Taehyung placed the half eaten burger on the tray and removed a chocolate bar from his jean pocket, "I should probably give him a chocolate.", he sighed.
