The Hookup | P.Jimin

She's got a date.

It was nearly Friday and Elena had never been so nervous before.

It was her first date in years.

The last date she went on was with Yoongi back when they first started their relationship and even then they just went to his parents and watched a movie together and all ate dinner.

So a date that involved going out and being in front of people was all new to her.

"You look really worried."

Elena looked down at Taehyung's tanned face and furrowed her brows.

"Well yeah, I'm going on a supposed date with a gorgeous man and I have no clue what to wear."

"Wear that dress you hate wearing."

Taehyung grinned up at Elena, his head on her lap and her hand running through his hair gently. They both were on their living room couch, Taehyung laying down on Elena and the girl soothing him as they watched a drama on tv.

"I don't wear it because I hate it." Elena giggled. Taehyung stared up at Elena's face and rolled his eyes.

"I don't even know why you bought it if you weren't going to wear it."

"At the time I got it, I was planning to wear it for Yoongi on the day I found out..." Elena drifted off as she remember the day she found out Yoongi was cheating on her. It was a day that she remembered constantly.

Taehyung pursed his lips as he cursed Yoongi, that bastard was his best friend but damn it he was a big asshole for causing Elena so much heartache.

"What about that other dress you bought for clubbing but never wore?"

Elena shrugged.

"I mean, I guess I could wear that. But what if he thinks it's weird that I'm wearing a clubbing dress to our date?"

"Then make him take you to a club." Taehyung stated like it was an obvious thing.

"Do I just tell him, 'hey, take me to a club?' "

"No, you weirdo." Taehyung chuckled. "When you text him, ask if you guys can go to a club and dance."

Elena felt her heart race as she thought about dancing with Jimin. She pictured his face from the picture he sent her a couple days ago, it was hard to imagine him in person.

"I guess it sounds pretty easy."

Taehyung could hear how unsure Elena was about it and he understood how this wasn't in her comfort zone. She has only ever been with Yoongi and their usual outings together were going to grab food for a movie night. But Taehyung knew that Elena was no stranger to clubbing.

Elena and Jungkook would go out once a week to a club where they would stay out till the bar closed and would take a Lyft or Uber home, both drunk and giggly. Elena let Yoongi know when she left and when she got home, he never minded but that was only because during that time he would go and see his side chick.

"You're going to have fun. You deserve it."

Elena bit her lip as she went back to watching the drama they suddenly forgot about. She knew she deserved this but she still felt guilty.

"But Yoongi..."

"Stop thinking about Yoongi."

Taehyung sat up looked at Elena pointedly, he felt a little annoyed at the fact that all Elena ever thought about was Yoongi and how he would view her. It annoyed him to no end.

"I can't. " Elena couldn't look Taehyung in the face, she didn't want to see how disappointed he was in her.

"Elena...Yoongi cheated on you."

Elena looked down as she felt that stinging sensation in her chest, it felt sharp but also heavy, like a ball of lead.

"He doesn't deserve you or your love. He may be our best friend but hes an asshole for doing this to you."

Elena was quiet as she absorbed his words, words that hes said plenty of times to make her feel better, hoping they would stick and she can finally move on. She knew he was right but, it was still hard for her to accept them.

She loved Yoongi.

Taehyung threw his arms up and cheered as Yoongi made his shot and the ball went through the hoop. It was a thing that he had done since he was a high schooler, always cheering for his hyung when he made a shot.

Yoongi grabbed the ball and jogged towards Taehyung, ball securely underneath his arm and panting after playing for a few hours on his own.

"Taehyungie, what are you doing here?" Yoongi asked as he grabbed his water bottle off the ground and gulped down some of it.

"Just wanted to visit you." Taehyung watched as Yoongi wiped his forehead with a towel that he had set next to his water. "Hows Danielle?"

Yoongi stopped wiping for a second to glance at him before continuing.

"Is that any of your business?"

"I think it is when my best friend, Elena," He emphasized her name, hoping Yoongi would feel something about it. "Is hurting because of you."

Yoongi shrugged it off as he took another drink of his water.

It annoyed Taehyung how he can easily brush this situation off like it was a fly buzzing around him, something so annoying that he didnt want to deal with it.

And maybe that's exactly what all this was to him, just a fly buzzing around his head.

"Shes got a date today."

Taehyung watched with satisfaction as Yoongi perked up at his news.

"A date?" His voice was quiet but Taehyung knew how curious the older man was.

"Yeah. A date." Taehyung slightly glared at Yoongi and his suddenly curious expression.

"Do you know him?"

Taehyung shook his head and watched the man carefully.

"No clue. It's some guy she met at the club. You know, the night she was annoying you."

Yoongi's brows furrowed and his lips turned into a straight line. He never thought that Elena would agree to go on a date with a complete stranger.

She was the kind of girl who didn't usually put herself out there, who didn't like the spotlight on her and preferred to just do what she was comfortable with.

And that's what their whole relationship was based on, comfort. One of the reasons he had Danielle on the side was because it was exciting and new, something that he wanted to experience. Though he realized too late that he went about it all the wrong way.

"Well," Yoongi bit his lip. "I hope she has fun."

Taehyung continued to stare at him, making the older male a little uncomfortable with his strong gaze, until he shook his head.

"I'm sure she will."

Yoongi's mind raced with thoughts as he started to dribble the ball, all thoughts about Elena and their past.

Taehyung could see how much the news bothered the male and it brought him satisfaction. He just hoped Elena wore that dress to take pictures in, that way he can send some to Yoongi and make him see that he fucked up.
