BUBBLEGUM (A Taehyung Fanfiction)

Chapter 19: Make-over

TAEHYUNG'S POV

"You're kidding, right?" Jiminie asked, making me sigh for the nth time.

"I'm s-serious. Ji-Jin hyung offered me-me the job." I replied. Jimin gave me an incredulous look.

"Bro, no offense." He raised his hands and looked at me up and down. "You're hot, no homo tho—" Hobi hyung cackled and Jungkook grimaced at the statement. "But this ain't it chief! We can fix your looks, but what about the interviews? YOU still need to TALK! And I don't want them to make you a laughing stock in the industry!" He ended, almost breathless from the intense explanation. I pouted at this, knowing he's got a point.

"YAH!" Jungkook yelled. "TaeTae hyung is getting better now! Haven't you notice? He's been like that since Lo—"

"Since Loriel came I know. But where is she now? Who will help him now, huh?" Jiminie spat, sending an arrow at my heart. Jungkook tried to speak, but decided to close his mouth.

"I promised." I mumbled. Hobi hyung let out a 'what'. "I SAID I PROMISED!" I yelled. They all stared at me wide eyed, unable to speak.

I clench and unclenched my fist to calm myself before speaking again. "S-She didn't want to le-leave. But since I p-promised, I'll try to be no-normal just like everyone else. For my-myself and for her." I spoke softly, voice cracking at the end of my speech. Sure enough, tears trailed down my face, but I quickly wiped it away.

"Oh TaeTae hyung!" Jungkookie sniffled and pulled me in for a hug. I let out a sigh and gripped on the boy for dear life, wishing it was her form that I was hugging. I dearly miss being beside her. Hoseok hyung joined the hug, and I felt a comforting pat on my shoulder, looking up I saw Jiminie giving me a soft smile.

"It's settled then. You're taking that job and we're glad to help." Jimin then grinned and pinched my cheeks. The others cheered beside me saying they'll extend their helping hand too. A smile formed on my lips. I'm glad I have them or else I would have broke down and stayed at home all day.

"Wait, who's Jin hyung again?" Kookie asked, looking at me with curious doe eyes. I chuckled. "He-He's my cousin." I replied. He nodded in understanding.

"How is he a model?? I know he's a fuckboy like me, but it never crossed my mind that he is a mo—" Not being able to finish his sentence a bunny slipper smacked him on the face. Jimin yelped in pain and we stood there frozen and shocked as Hobi, Jungkook, and I look at the way where the flying slipper came from. There stood Jin hyung with an irked expression. His lip twitching in annoyance.

"First of all Park 'Motherfucking' Jimin, I ain't a hoe such as yourself!" He spat as he walked towards us, words dripping with poison. "And I've been gone for a long while, not because I'm fucking around like YOU, but because I'm working my ass off using this pretty face as an asset." He added still enraged. I heard Jimin gulped beside me.

Just when Jin hyung was infront of Jimin he took him by the collar and pulled him close to his face. "I ain't a fuckboy, and I'm also proud to say I'm gay." My eyes widened, I heard Hobi hyung gasped, as well as the other people inside this cafeteria. Kookie suddenly yelled "PREACH!!!"

When I say a lot of attention is given to us at the moment is an understatement, THE WHOLE CAFETERIA is focused on us.

Jimin swat Jin hyung's hand away and straightened his uniform. "Jesus you're still aggressive." Jiminie groaned, fixing himself. "Well thank you! And you're still short." Jin hyung shrugged making me choke. "OH MAN HOLY SHIT!" Kookie cackled at this giving Jin hyung a thumbs up, which made the latter wink at him. Hobi hyung patted my back and offered me water which I took and drank from immediately.
