okay now since its seventeen, might as well play seventeen

Third Person's POV:

"Oh, this is that Jungkook guy you keep talking about at work!" Jimin says causing Taehyung to blush deeply. Okay, that's true and all but Taehyung doesn't need to hear that in this situation.

"Was I not suppose to say that?" Jimin says and quickly places his hand over his mouth. Taehyung glares at him and gets off Jungkook's grasp. He quickly pushes Jimin lightly with a red face as Jimin laughs.

Jungkook stays still, he feels warm. Does Taehyung care for him? It made him feel so happy to atleast know that Taehyung talks about him.

"Jimin you prick!" Taehyung says and Jimin runs away leaving them alone. An awkward silence happens and Taehyung scolds himself for telling Jimin about him.

"I'm sorry that you heard that." Taehyung says with a blush on his face. Jungkook, who just got out from his trance shakes his head. He doesn't regret hearing those words from that Jimin guy. It sparked some hope in him and he took the chance to let it grow.

"No, its really okay." Jungkook says, Taehyung takes the chance to really look at Jungkook. His heart clenches at the sight, Jungkook looks so awful.

The eyebags under his eyes looked so deep, his cheekbones got prominent. It is clear that he isn't doing good lately, his eyes that were once bright with happiness are now filled with nothing. Taehyung didn't really understand why Jungkook looked like this, he thought that he is just a simple fling and he will be easily replaced but by the looks of it, he isn't.

"C-can we please talk?" Jungkook asks, his voice became raspy from not talking that much. Taehyung could literally hear the determination of Jungkook, he wanted to know the truth and most importantly to understand him as a person.

"Sure" he replies, Jungkook smiles at the reply. Taehyung feels so guilty, he who is living happily for the past two weeks in hope of forgetting while Jungkook kept blamong himself for lying and placing Taehyung at risk.

"W-where do you want to talk?" Jungkook asks, although he wanted to talk at his house so that no information could be leaked. But, if Taehyung isn't comfortable in his house then it is okay.

"Somewhere comfortable. It really isn't nice to talk in an alley right?" Taehyung jokes, trying to lift the mood up. Jungkook tries to think of a place where it is comfortable to talk, but he always goes back to his house.

"How about your house? I know that you'll probably want to have it there. Plus, I want to see where you live." Taehyung suggest, as if he read Jungkook's mind.

"Sure, if you want to." Jungkook says and straightens his back. He grabs his phone from his pocket and dials a number. Taehyung couldn't hear the words Jungkook spoke which is good. A few minutes from ending a call, an expensive looking car arrives.

"The trip is going to take long if we don't use a car. We can take a bus if you like." Jungkook says, being cautious of Taehyung's reaction.

"It's okay" Taehyung says and walks over to the car. Being a gentleman he is, Jungkook opens the door for him and he quickly enters the car with Jungkook following after.

"Home please." Jungkook says to the driver who nods in approval and leads the car outside the alley. The ride is quiet, but then Taehyung hears some snors comming out from Jungkook's mouth.

It was awkward for sure, but then the driver made a sharp turn causing Jungkook to land of Taehyung's lap. He panicked, Taehyung didn't know what to do in the sudden situation but to embrace it.
