red string - taekook

jungkook still felt butterflies from the conversation last night. he smiled at the braveness of taehyung to text him even after their break up, since he practically avoided him. you know, jungkook wasn't dumb. he knew that taehyung avoided him on purpose and he knew that jimin lied to him. if school was killing him and he doesn't even have time for himself, why was jimin always at his place?

'yah, jungkook-ah!' jimin yelled from the kitchen. the younger boy went up to the kitchen. 'what's up?'

'why is the kitchen in a big mess?' jimin pointed at the kitchen counters. 'what do you mean big mess? where?'
jungkook asked him. 'jungkook! don't play dumb or i'll slap you' jungkook laughed at his tiny hyung being angry. 'okay, okay! i will clean it up. i don't want you nagging me like my mother does!' jimin hit the younger on the head making him stop and glare at him. 'what were you even doing anyways?' jimin asked him.

'n-nothing...' jungkook stuttered. oh no.

'nothing? what do you mean nothing? then why is all of this in a mess? did you try to cook?' jimin stared at him. 'oh no! i have told you so many times that-' jimin stopped himself when he saw jungkook staring at something. jimin looked at it too and it seemed like a piece of paper. jungkook went to grab it but jimin had already beaten him to it.

'no, hyung! please don't re-' 'a recipe for a love potion?' jimin laughed loudly, with his whole chest.

jungkook grabbed it out of his hands and threw it in the trash can. 'does my dear jungkookie have a crush?' jungkook blushed at the words. jimin laughed even more. 'oh hell yeah he does! the rest of the boys need to hear this!' jungkook's eyes widened. he knew what would happen. the endless teasings, the boys not leaving him alone and them always going off about his crush until he told them it was taehyung. 'no! not yoongi and hobi hyung! please not them'

jimin has his phone in his hands as he was typing really fast. 'too bad i already told them' jimin said. 'you're evil' jungkook frowned. 'turn that frown upside down jungkook' jimin told him. 'i mean, i knew you loved that soulmate thing but i thought it was just for fun? didn't know you would go this far. this is fun' jimin told him.

'our jungkookie has a crush again!' hoseok junped around him, making the poor boy suffer. he was flushing as the warm feeling went up to his cheeks leaving them red as tomatoes.

'now, will you tell us?' yoongi asked him. 'i mean even if you don't tell us, we will find out' jimin rolled his eyes. 'leave the boy alone, he will tell us once he's ready' 'then what's the point of teasing him if you're just going to not know who his crush is' yoongi fought back. 'oh my god calm dow-'

'it's taehyung!'

'what?' the three yelled in unision. jungkook's eyes widened at the sudden confession he blurted out to the people he never wanted to say it to. but now it was all to late.

'so you're telling me you, jeon jungkook, have a crush on your ex? and you broke up with him because you didn't like him that much. how interesting...' yoongi said. 'how the tables have turned' hoseok said. 'what id taehyung doesn't like you back?' yoongi spoke again.

'yoongi!' hoseok and jimin yelled at the elder.

'what?! i was just being realistic!' jimin pushed him a little bit at the sight of the young brown haired boy with a big frown on his face. 'look jungk-' jimin started to explain him but jungkook cut him off. 'i know that he doesn't like me back. i mean, he probably hates me too! i dumped him like trash, which he didn't deserve!' he said sadly. he felt pain in his chest that made him feel suffocatted in his own apartment. 'i'm going to the balcony. i want to be alone' jungkook stood up, leaving his hyungs sad and confused.

'you see what we just did?' hoseok aasked yoongi and jimin.

yoongi spoke up 'look, jimin. taehyung is your best frie-' 'yeah and that means i should let him be broken into pieces just like last time. no' jimin crossed his arms. 'but you should give it a try. jungkook is way mature now and you have seen him being all interested in that soulmate shit. maybe he really changed?' hoseok explained.

'taehyung is still not over him. i know that. i caught him crying a few times while looking at their pictures. it's heartbreaking. but he tries to avoid him at all costs, yet jungkook invited him to his birthday party!' 'so? he was being nice! and now we know he just wants to get laid!' yoongi said with a smirk. 'hyung!' jimin yelled at him. 'if he uses my best friend just so he can fulfill his fantasies i will cut his dick off.' hoseok and yoongi backed off a little bit while looking at each other.

'oh!' yoongi instantly yelled. 'i have an idea!' jimin and hoseok glanced at each other, signaling to yoongi that he tells them his idea.

'you see...'

'so, you see... um...' 'what are you trying to say taehyung?' namjoon raised an eyebrow. 'did you ever have a boyfriend or girlfriend?' taehyung asked. 'why is that important to the plot that you were just trying to explain?' 'it is! i promise!' namjoon sighed. 'i did. a girlfriend. she was my first girlfriend ever. she broke up with me, broke my heart sadly. but we still keep in touch sometimes.' taehyung's eyes widened. 'well... i have a similar situation... but the problem is... i like him still' taehyung paused, taking a deep breath. 'i still like him a lot. even more than i did before. but it hurts me because he caused me so much pain before and i just don't want to run back to him again...'

'is this about jungkook?' namjoon asked him. taehyung's eyes widened even more now. 'well...' 'yeah it is. i can tell by your expression!' namjoon smiled at him. 'i mean...' taehyung sighed loudly. 'okay. it is. i still have a fat ass crush on him and it's not going away. i want it to go away!'

namjoon's phone rang. 'wonderful' taehyung muttered under his breath. 'sorry tae, i have to take this one' taehyung just nodded while namjoon walked away with his phone in his hand.

'WHAT DO YOU MEAN SEOKJIN IS GETTING MARRIED?!' namjoon yelled, his voice booming through the hallway.

'what?' taehyung whispered to himself while he slowly walked up to namjoon who was talking to someone on the phone. namjoon seemed surprised.

'hyung!' namjoon's head shot to the side when hearing taehyung's voice. 'what is happening? why are you yelling?'

'so you guys waited to tell me just now that he is getting married in a week?' namjoon sounded irritated. 'i can't believe this... and why did my own brother hide that from me?' taehyung was now standing and listening to namjoon's angry conversation with whoever was on the other side. 'okay, okay.. i'm calm. talk to you later' namjoon hung up and groaned loudly.

'what is happening joon?'

'my sister, jisoo, just called me to tell me that my older brother seokjin, you remember him right? is getting married... for some dude named park chanyeol'

taehyung's eyes widened. 'wait, jimin has a cousin named chanyeol... we aren't talking about the same chanyeol are we?'
