Chapter 2

Taehyung POV

As Jin hyung pulls up to a house, I smile lightly at it. It's a beautiful place really. I just follow Jin out of the car and up to the front door of the house. He lets the two of us inside, letting us walk in. Looking around, I immediately spot the living room to the right of us, a boy with black hair sprawled out across one of the two couches.

"Yoongi-ah! Please tell me you're not skipping class again." Jin scolds as he places his hands on his hips. I chuckle softly at that fatherly tone in his voice, knowing it all too well. The boy on the couch chuckles as well, rolling his eyes.

"I'm not, hyung. They canceled class today. No worries. I'll be out of here in about fifteen minutes though so that I can get to my next class on time." He responds with a smile.

"Good. Oh, Yoongi, this is my baby brother, Taehyung. Tae, this is one of Namjoon's and my friend, Yoongi." Jin introduces us with a smile. Yoongi glances over to me, giving me a surprisingly sweet gummy smile, waving kindly. I give him a shy smile as well, waving back to him. He's honestly really cute, a beautiful person truly.

"Alright, so I'll take you up to your room. We can leave Yoongi to relax for the next few minutes before he's gotta get ready for class. Yoongi, do you know if the others are all on campus already?" Jin asks curiously as he begins to lead me over to the stairs.

"Yeah, the others are already on campus. Namjoon will be back in about thirty minutes. Hoseok has work today along with Jimin so they won't be back till this afternoon. Jungkook won't be back till this afternoon too. Around three or so." Yoongi answers, keeping his gaze over on the television that's playing some show. Jin just nods, continuing to lead me up the stairs.

"So, you'll be sharing a room with Jungkook. He's our youngest that's living with us, two years younger than you. Jimin is only a couple months older than you. Hoseok is about six months older than Namjoon, and Yoongi is a year older than both of them. Which, mind you, still leaves me as the oldest." Jin tacks on at the end, grinning back at me. I just smile, chuckling softly as I shake my head at him. Getting halfway up the stairs, I glance back at Yoongi one last time, feeling my cheeks warm just a little at the sight of the beautiful older boy.

I just bite my lip, focusing back on my older brother as we reach the top of the stairs.

"So, Namjoon and Hoseok share a room right here. I've got my bedroom right here across from them. Then, Yoongi and Jimin share a room next to Namjoon, and yours is right next to mine. And, like I said, you'll be sharing with Jungkook." Jin hyung informs me, pointing around to each room before stepping over to the last bedroom that he'd pointed out. I simply follow along as he opens the door and leads me inside, looking around as soon as I get inside.

"So, looks like Jungkook claimed this first front bed. Puts you on the farther side of the room, Tae. You guys have your own bathroom but you'll have to share since you're sharing the room. Any questions?" Jin asks, turning back towards me with a smile. I purse my lips, looking around the room as I rub the back of my neck shyly.

"You're sure it's okay that I'm staying here?" I double check uncertainly as I walk around him, setting my bags down on the bed that seems to be mine. It would make sense, considering the other bed has sultry red silk sheets as opposed to the plain white sheets on this one. Jin smiles in return, nodding his head.

"Yes, Tae. It's perfectly fine that you're staying here and you don't need to even worry about moving out as soon as you can afford it. We're happy to have you here, and we're perfectly happy with you staying." Jin answers, his tone gentle but firm to let me know that he's serious. I smile softly at this, ruffling my hair gently as I nod my head.

"Alright, so I took off work today. I'm gonna go ahead downstairs to make sure Yoongi isn't skipping his class and I'll make some lunch later on for you. Okay? Gives you some time to get adjusted and comfortable in here. Sound good?" Jin tells me lightly with a smile. I simply return the smile, nodding my head silently.

"Good. You can come down whenever and I'll bring lunch up to you if you're not down by then."
