HIM{A Kim Taehyung/V Fanfiction} Book 1

CHAPTER 24: Mei-suk or Tae-Mei?

Saturday.
I woke up with no alarm going off, I stayed in bed until twelve at least, I made a good whole breakfast and not just a biscuit to pop in my mouth. I invited the six boys to come over.
They were all watching a movie in the living room as I and Jin were preparing the breakfast.
"You know," Jin pointed out, leaning in closer to the eggs I was about to flip, "If you leave them on just a bit longer, you'll get a nice crunch to it."
I looked up at him with a small smile.
"You know," I replied, pointing at his hand, "that hands aren't supposed to go into the pancake mix."
He looked down and widened his eyes as he saw his hand covered in pancake mix he was stirring, in fact, his hand was in the bowl.
"Funny," He said, surprised and hurrying towards the sink, "You'd think I'd feel that!"
I laughed. He smiled back and chuckled.
"How about you invite Taehyung over?" He brought up out of nowhere, "and Jong-suk?"
I raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"You guys don't get along with Taehyung, and I have been hanging around with him more than you guys I think, now. Also, you guys don't like me hanging with Jong-suk." I paused. "And for some reason I sense an odd tension in the air between Taehyung and Jong-suk whenever I'm with them. I don't think they like each other."
Jin nodded with a slight "mm" and went back to stirring the mix.
"Still," he continued, pouring a bit into the pan, "I think they ought to get out more. Taehyung usually doesn't go out unless your out, and Jong-suk is always working on his studies in medical and acting. He could use a break."
    I felt surprised as I heard the last part. I had forgotten he was also a doctor.
    "How much does he work?" I asked. Jin turned towards me after flipping a pancake with a slight frown on his face.
    "Honestly," he replied, "I think either about the same or harder than Namjoon."
    "Maybe he does need a break." I thought aloud, placing a fourth egg on a plate. I glanced at Jin's work. "Don't forget each get three pancakes, it seems your making that one a bit bigger."
    Jin's cheeks turned slightly pink.
    I chuckled as I realized. "Do you eat that much?"
    "What's wrong with wanting slightly larger pieces?!" He shouted, making me laugh. I shook my head and put down the food I was making.
    "I think I'll call Jong-suk, after all." I told him, he nodded with a smile.
    I left the loudness and stepped outside. I clicked on Jong-suk's contact and put it on speaker. It only rang once before it was picked up.
"Ayo." He answered cheerily. "What's up?"
"Are you busy?" I asked, uncertain.
"Just a few assignments I'm working on, though I can always work on them later. I'm never too busy for you." He said teasingly. I rolled my eyes even if he couldn't see it.
"I'm inviting you to breakfast if you want to come over, the other boys are here, as well." I said.
"As much as I'd love to come, I don't think Taehyung would appreciate my presence there. Despite us being friends, he's recently become meaner to me." He sounded as if he was pouting. I laughed.
"I didn't invite Taehyung." I replied to him. I heard a gasp of mock shock.
"How come you didn't invite your boyfriend?" He asked. I felt a bit uncomfortable for some reason with him once again assuming Taehyung to be my boyfriend.
"We're not dating," I told him firmly, "and it's also because the others don't exactly like him at the moment either."
I heard a soft "mm" on the other end of the line. Then he said, reassuringly and surprisingly warm, "I'll be there then. I'll see you in a few, Mei."
I felt my cheeks burning as I replied back with a soft and quiet, "bye, Sukoo." A quiet chuckle was the last I heard from him as he hung up the phone.
When I turned the nob on the door, there was a little resistance of it opening and I heard a rush of movement and clatter on the other side. I pushed harder on the door and heard whispers and gasps. When it was completely open, all of the boys were on the ground, looking a me wide eyed.
"I told you it was a bad idea, Jungkook!" Shouted Yoongi, who was on top of Jin.
"What are you talking about? This was your idea, Yoongi!"
I crossed my arms as they all began arguing on whose idea it was.
"Why were you guys eavesdropping on me?" I asked, a bit angry.
"Well, you see," began Yoongi, "Jungkook thought that you went outside to talk to Taehyung on the phone privately and he convinced us all to see what you two were talking about."
"What the fuck, Yoongi!" Shouted Jungkook and another wave of disagreement shot through the group.
I couldn't help but laugh at the children in front of me, despite me being the second youngest person here.
    "All this aside," Said Jin, acting all high and mighty, "when we heard it was Jong-suk and not Taehyung, we got a little. . ." He smiled a bit, "concerned."
    "Whats with the smirk on your face then?" I asked.
    "Because we all know this is gonna end up a love triangle!" Yoongi sang. They all nodded.
    I rolled my eyes. "Please, if there were to be any live triangle around, I'd say it'd be Yoongi, BamBam and Yoongi's loneliness."
    They all began laughing as Yoongi got up with a glare at my direction.
    "You'll see! You three are going places!" Yoongi Shouted and stormed back onto the couch. He clicked play the the other boys rushed back to the couch so they didn't miss anything, already being completely hypnotized by the movie.
    Me and Jin were back in the small kitchen and I had just finished making everyone eggs. I now only waited on Jin.
    There was a knock, and a sprit of excitement shot through me as Namjoon got up to open the door.
    "Hello, fellow breakfast-ees." Chimed Jong-suk with a wave of his hand.
    "Hey." Everyone said, a bit out of it and still staring at the TV.
    His wide eyes made me want to laugh.
    "Oh my God," He said, placing his hand on his mouth. "They actually greeted me back?"
    "Well technically," I replied, leaning on the wall with my arms crossed, "they're not exactly focused right now."
    He shrugged with a funny expression. "I'll take it." He walked in and closed the door behind and followed into the kitchen.
    When he saw Jin he slightly froze, but before I could confirm that he was nervous, he recovered and smiled.
    "Hello." He said with a slight bow.
    Jin smiled warmly and bowed back. "Hello, Jong-suk."
    While the three of us were talking in the kitchen, the movie had ended, they were now talking to each other and wrestling and everything. I laughed as I heard a "dammit Namjoon!" Come from Jungkook's voice.
    It was always Namjoon who got him to say that.
    Jin shook his head. "It's always those two I have to get on to."
    Jong-suk chuckled, "I bet so. I kept hearing Jungkook cuss Namjoon every time he hits him in the back of the head."

________________________________

    "You guys quite fighting so much!" Shouted Jimin as he tried ripping off Jungkook's hands from Namjoon's hair, "you're acting like girls!"
    "Says the guy who dresses like a girl with chokers and everything!" Retorted Hoseok.
    "It's style! And I don't dress like a girl!" he pouted.
    "You look like one." Cut in Jungkook.
    "Short people are not defined by their height and style if their feminine or musculine!"
    "That's true," Yoongi pointed out, "I mean the dude has a six pack for crying out loud, and is probably stronger than Jungkook."
    Jungkook froze and glared at Yoongi, he just shrugged and smiled that gummy smile of his.
    As they continued fighting, Namjoon and Hoseok decided to sit back down. They looked at each other with humor in their eyes from the other boys.
    "So," started Hoseok, "What do you think of Jong-suk and Mei?"
    Namjoon felt a slight anger rise up. Though he just shrugged it off.
    "Honestly, I don't like the idea. I'd much prefer that she be with Taehyung."
    Hoseok nodded. "Well, I honestly have to say that I support Mei-suk." Namjoon looked at him with a "really?" Look and Hoseok just smiled with a shrug.
    "I support Tae-Mei!" Added in Yoongi, "But I'd be fine with Mei-suk!"
    "Tae-Mei." Said Jungkook.
    Jin has come in and was going towards the restroom when Yoongi stopped him.
    "Tae-Mei or Mei-suk?" He asked. Jin chuckled.
    "Mei-suk." He said and continued on his way.
    Everyone looked at Jimin, waiting for his opinion. He looked up with what seemed like an uninterested look.
    "I support Min Mei." He said, a gleam if rage in his eyes.
   Everyone felt sadness creep through their bodies. They knew Jimin liked Mei, but they hadn't known how painful it was for him until now.
    "We're sorry, Jimin." Said Namjoon quietly. Everyone nodded.
    Jimin smile a little. "It's fine, she deserves to be with whoever she wants. If it's not me, then oh well, I guess. At least she'll have me as a friend. That there is enough."
    "Hey, Namjoon," Said Jin suddenly running up to him wide eyed. "Call your Jae-hee!"
    Namjoon immediately glared and stood up, everyone went silent.
    "Why?" He asked darkly.
    "I know it's painful hearing her name," Jin replied softly, feeling bad, "but I have I feeling we may know her. For some reason, it just popped into my mind."
    Namjoon stood there, and he looked down to his phone.
    "No." He said.
    "Why?" Asked Jungkook.
    "Don't you remember?" Replied Hoseok, "the whole reason why he left her was to make sure she never remembered what happened to them."
    Jungkook looked down with a quiet, "right".
    Everyone was silent, not sure how to lift the mood. They found out they didn't have to try.
    Mei and Jong-suk's laughter had suddenly erupted from the kitchen, and everyone felt better.
    Namjoon smiled a little, somehow feeling like he had always enjoyed her laugh.
    The rest smiled and Yoongi and Jungkook both tiptoed towards the kitchen and peeked behind the wall.
    The rest joined, curious as to why the two were laughing so much.
    They all widened their eyes as they saw Mei and Jong-suk covered in pancake batter. Jong-suk swiped up some of the batter and had smeared it on Mei's cheek.
    Mei's eyes widened as she thought of something with a laugh.
    "I have the perfect idea!" She Exclaimed. She then took hold of some pancake mix and told him to stay still.
    The six boys did everything they could to hold in their excitement as Mei came close to Jong-suk, whose cheeks turned just ever so slightly pink. She placed a hand on the back of his neck and her thumb rested on his cheek.
    Then they had to try to control their laughter as she smeared some of the mix onto his upper lip, forming a mustache.
    She backed up and giggled.
    "What?" He said in a fake French accent. "Have you never seen a Frenchman and his mustache?"
    He placed his index and thumb finger on his chin and made a duck face at her with a wink.
    This caused all of the boys to burst out laughing, and the two jumped in shock as they saw all of them piled up on each other.
    "What the hell, guys?!" Bursted Mei, cleaning her face with a rag and grabbing one for Jong-suk. "What is with you today? Spying on me twice now."
    "I fully support Mei-suk!" Shouted Jimin. Everyone cheered and the two's faces turned blood red.
    "Breakfast is ready, you kids." Said Mei, serving plates.
    "Yay!" They Shouted with glee and sat at the ever so crowded table.
    "Let me help you serve." Said Jong-suk, standing up.
    Mei nodded and the both seemed like parents to Namjoon's eyes. He smiled as they continued to give plates to the exited boy's and nodded his head in thanks when he received his.
    The two seem good together, he thought to himself. But I still prefer Taehyung.
    As Namjoon ate with the other boys, Jin's words replayed in his mind.
    He could never call Jae-hee.
    He could never do it.
    He'd never have the guts.
