Submerged

Chapter 6

"Dahyun!" Taehyung shouted as he and Yoongi walked back towards the cliff. Taehyung sighed out. "I really hope she's at home." Taehyung said. Yoongi slowly reached over and held Taehyung's hand. "It'll be okay." Taehyung nodded before he intertwined their fingers. Yoongi blushed and sighed as they walked up to his notebook.

"What should we do with the hand?" Yoongi asked as they stared at it. Taehyung sighed. "There's a tree around here I can hide it in." Taehyung said as he let go of Yoongi's hand and gently picked it up. Yoongi watched as he walked over and put it into a hole in one of the trees. "I doubt any animals will bother it tonight." Taehyung said as he walked back over to Yoongi.

Yoongi sighed and picked his notebook up. He looked around. "It's starting to get dark. Let's hurry and find her." Yoongi said as he started to walk away. Taehyung caught up with him. They walked back to the cave.

Yoongi sighed and set his notebook down before he tried to untie the strings. Taehyung pouted and sat on the couch. "She's got to either be at my house or her best friend's... why would she leave without telling me?" Taehyung said to himself.

Yoongi groaned and gave up. "Maybe your dad found her..." Taehyung looked up at Yoongi. "Let's hope not. Come here." Taehyung said. Yoongi walked in front of him and blushed. He watched as Taehyung untied the strings and the swim trunks instantly fell from his body.

Yoongi quickly covered himself since he was standing directly in front of the other. Taehyung laughed. "Yoongi, I've already seen it." Yoongi blushed and nodded. "Yes.. right..." Yoongi moved his hands before he moved over to his clothes. He watched Taehyung from the corner of his eyes.

Taehyung leaned forward and slowly looked over at Yoongi's backside. Yoongi blushed as he watched Taehyung lick his lips and look away. Yoongi smiled to himself before he began to get dressed. Taehyung looked down at Yoongi's notebook and slowly pulled it towards him. He waited until Yoongi was pulling his shirt on to quickly pick it up and open it.

Taehyung blushed as he quickly looked through it. It was filled with poems and doodles. Taehyung stopped at one poem titled 'Leather Jackets'. It talked about how Yoongi yearned for the leather jacket, that the leather jacket was only one in the world he wanted because it was so unique and beautiful.

Taehyung blushed as Yoongi snatched the notebook out of his hands. "Taehyung! What- why-" Yoongi looked down at the page Taehyung had been reading. Yoongi started to tear up. Taehyung stood up and tried to touch Yoongi's arm. "Yoongi, it's okay! Your poems are beautiful." Yoongi looked up at him and blushed more as Taehyung got closer.

Taehyung spoke lowly. "Whoever this leather jacket is... you should tell them how you feel... maybe they feel the same way... that they always have." Yoongi turned red and opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't get anything out.

Taehyung sighed and picked up his clothes. "Come on, we have to find my sister." Taehyung said before he walked out. Yoongi blinked a couple times. 'Did he just confess?' Yoongi asked himself. He grabbed the rest of his stuff and ran after him.

Jimin sighed as he followed Jungkook. "Hyung, what's wrong?" Jungkook asked. Jimin shook his head. Jungkook looked around. "Worried about Taehyung cheating on you?" Jimin's eyes widened as he stopped and stared at Jungkook. "How do you- we... we didn't-"

Jungkook shrugged. "I thought it was weird at first... but it's okay. You can't help who you like, I should know." Jungkook said with a sigh. Jimin looked at the back of his head. "Dahyun?" Jungkook nodded. Jimin sighed. "Come on, we don't have that much time till we have to meet up with the others." Jimin said before he started to walk ahead of Jungkook.

Taehyung sighed out after he walked back out to Yoongi with his backpack. Taehyung held it for him as he stuffed his notebook back in. "Where else could she be?" Yoongi asked. Taehyung sighed and shook his head. "Her best friend's place I guess." Taehyung started to walk again after Yoongi had closed his bag.

"Taehyung, I can carry it!" Yoongi said as he caught up. Taehyung ignored him as they continued to walk. Yoongi looked up at Taehyung and blushed as he thought of a million things to say. Taehyung looked over at him and gave the shorter a small smile. "You okay?" Yoongi nodded before he looked down. "I'm sorry." Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows. "How come?" Yoongi sighed softly. "Nothing... just... Taehyung? Do you um... do you like-" "Min Yoongi!"

Taehyung froze and sighed out. "Shit. Probably would of been better to see him at your house..." Yoongi gulped as his father pulled over his squad car and got out. "What the hell are you doing with him?!" Yoongi stood in front of Taehyung. "Dad! I um... W-we need to speak with you." Yoongi's father scoffed and grabbed Yoongi's arm. "Get in the car."

Yoongi furrowed his eyebrows before he yanked himself away from his father. "No! Dad, this is way more important then who his father is!" Yoongi shouted as he stood by Taehyung again. Taehyung handed Yoongi his backpack. "It's fine. I'll have Jimin let you know when we find her. I don't want to cause any trouble." Taehyung said, pointing his last statement at Yoongi's father. "Have a great summer, Yoongi." Taehyung said before he started to walk away.

Yoongi looked up at his father. "What is your deal with him?! Taehyung is a good person! You can't take your hatred out on him just because you hate his father! Taehyung is-is nothing like that psychopath!" Yoongi shouted. His father sighed. "I don't care, Yoongi. I do not want you around him. He's still a bad influence." Yoongi shook his head before he took off after Taehyung with his father call out to him.

Yoongi looked around at the small shops he saw Taehyung in a small candy shop. Yoongi walked inside and looked at him. Taehyung looked up from the change in his hand and smiled a bit. "Could you actually make that two colas?" Taehyung asked the man behind the counter. He set the money down on the counter before he sat down on one of the stools.

Yoongi sat down next to him. "You're here." Taehyung said. Yoongi nodded and smiled a bit. "I'm here.... I don't care what my father says, Taehyung. I know he's not right." Yoongi gulped as he watched Taehyung push his hair back. Yoongi blinked a couple times before he turned to the man and thanked him as he set down their soda bottles.

Yoongi gently played with the condensation on the glass bottle as Taehyung stared at him. "He's going to kill you." Taehyung said. Yoongi looked up at him. "I don't care, Taehyung. You're my friend and I like you." Yoongi said confidently. Taehyung smirked a bit, he leaned in a bit closer to Yoongi. "You like me, huh?"

Yoongi turned red and looked up into Taehyung's playful eyes. "Yes. I like you a lot." Yoongi said in a whisper as he glanced down at Taehyung's lips. Taehyung leaned in a bit more as they continued to stare into each other's eyes.

Yoongi turned red and blushed as the man walked back over to them and set some change down in front of Taehyung. "Gave me too much, kid." He said before he eyed them suspiciously before he walked away. Taehyung put the change back in his pocket and kept quiet as he finished his soda. Yoongi smiled to himself as he finished his own.
