"Taehyung! You say plenty of embarrassing things. We all know that. You can now tell us what you did this time."
Taehyung glared at Jin. "I do not do anything okay."
"Uh huh okay"
"really"
"I said uh huh"
"you were sarcastic"
"I just agreed with you though"
"Yes but you didn't –"
Yoongi, who was sitting on the couch reading a book looked up, exasperated, "Oh my god! Taehyung cut the crap and tell us. You know that we can see that you've been avoiding kook from the past two days right?"
"I am not avoiding him okay?"
"Want to tell me? And Yoongi because we know he's secretly curious"
"Hyung let's only annoy Taehyung okay?"
Taehyung just groaned and recounted the thing. Somehow, they had all joined in; listening to him in amusement and by the end, half of them pitied him while the other half were laughing. That was how Jungkook found them when he entered from the gym. He flinched at the attention when everyone looked at him expectantly and declared, bashfully, "what?"

Taehyung gets it. He really does. Jungkook is adorable with his bunny teeth, his lip mole, milky skin, and everything. He acts like he's five(or fifty if the situation calls for it but that is rare). He gets shy and embarrassed easily. 'He is oblivious as fuck and doesn't think of me as anything but a very close hyung despite the fact that I'm very obvious' Taehyung adds in his mind but he digresses. This mind rant was dedicated to the fact that Yoongi was cuddling Jungkook casually as he talked to Jackson. His Jungkook. He also knew that it wasn't the end. Tonight his patience would be tested to the maximum.
(He knows this from the last award show two months ago. He can recount in precise detail the number of people Kook had been hugged by. He might even know how long the hugs lasted but he won't ever say that out loud.)
Tonight was their performance with Got7 and for some bizarre reason, the two bands were sharing a dressing room. Now the members knew about the possessive side Taehyung had and teased him endlessly. They sometimes even hugged the younger to spite him. They were slow to catch on to the fact that Taehyung only ever got jealous when they touched and hugged Kookie casually, almost as if it were natural because that showed closeness. Closeness to the younger that he craved.
He almost gave up on trying to separate Yoongi and turned to switch on his phone to kill time when Yugyeom made an entrance. Like, made an ENTRANCE. He wasn't blind he knew that the guy was gorgeous but he wasn't allowed to appreciate it because he went straight to Jungkook. Why was the world his enemy?
He felt the make up noona shift his face away from the scene but he could still hear the giggles as Jungkook softly exclaimed that Yugyeom was crushing him. Why were the two close again? The snickering got louder until he realized that Kook and Yugyeom were leaving the room. Oh great. Now they would do things alone. Great.
"Jungkook"
He only realised that it was him that had called the younger once he turned to look at him.
"Uh – I – uh yeah. Help me get ready for the stage?"
Jimin giggled next to him and Yugyeom smirked. Taehyung thought that he would greatly appreciate it if the ground opened up and swallowed him. Who the fuck stutters while talking to their bandmate? Taehyung the dumbass, that's who.
"Yeah hyung obviously, I'll be back in five okay?"
"Okay"
