22.

Jungkook sat on a table at the very front. He was in Dream Bean Coffee and his heart was in his throat. He told himself he wouldn't come but when he received the notification on his phone he couldn't resist.

Taehyung would be one of the men on stage tonight. Even though he hated to admit it he missed him more than anything.

These couple weeks without him had been unbearable. The worst pain for him was knowing Taehyung was happy without him.

That hurt.

The show had already started and a tall man was up on stage. He started looking around trying to see if Taehyung was anywhere to be seen.

The tall man was walking down the steps when another man walked out. Jungkook noted where he walked out from and glanced in that direction.

When he did he spotted Taehyung and two other men. He was laughing at something until Taehyung occasionally turned his head and locked eyes with Jungkook.

His smile immediately faded and Jungkook quickly looked away. His heart crushed and he blinked the bundle of tears forming in his eyes.

Why didn't Taehyung love him? Why? He often wondered. Maybe it was his appearance. Maybe it was his voice. Maybe his hair. Or the way he laugh. It had to be something that could be fixed.

Jungkook would change every single thing about himself for Taehyung. He'd do it in a heartbeat.

"This is Hoseok! He's so loving and never fails to put a smile on your face! Hoseok would love nothing more than to give you all his love! Who wants a romantic date with him tonight?"

Jungkook looked at the man on stage. He had rented him once before. Way before he landed eyes on Taehyung.

Then Taehyung's words came to mind. "try Jeonghan or Hoseok, they're excellent with kids."

If Taehyung was so tired of him and thought he was a kid then maybe he did need someone else.

Plus, he couldn't possibly leave this place without a date. Taehyung had already seen him and it would just be embarrassing to walk out alone.

"500." A voice spoke.

"800."

"1,000."

"1,000? Going once going—"

"2,000." Another voice said.

Jungkook bit the inside of his cheek nervously. The guy on the microphone spoke up again and another man screamed a larger amount.

He looked towards Taehyung's direction who was looking right at him. It took all of Jungkook's strength to look away from him.

He felt his heart palpitate and could hear it in his ears. His palms were sweating and he even felt nauseous.

"10,000." Jungkook said.

The crowd turn to look at him and everyone seemed surprised. "I'm sorry?" The announcer said.

Jungkook stood up adjusting his button up shirt. "10,000 for a date."

"Anyone offering more?" The announcer asked.

The crowd stayed quiet. Jungkook couldn't believer he just wasted 10,000 for a date. "Okay! You just won a date with our lovely Hoseok!"

Hoseok slowly walked down the steps and approached Jungkook. Before he could even say a word Hoseok wrapped his arms around him.

Jungkook's eyes widen he wasn't used to the affection. "Should we go?" He asked with a smile. Jungkook responded by nodding and Hoseok grabbed his hand leading him out.
