"What are you doing in my house?!" Jungkook jumped as he walked in on Taehyung in the bathroom, brushing his teeth.

Taehyung's eyes were wide from the door abruptly opening on him. He quickly finished brushing his teeth and rinsed his mouth while eyeing Jungkook through the mirror. Finally, he turned to Jungkook when he was done.

"Didn't anyone teach you how to knock?" Taehyung asked bluntly, picking up his toiletries from the counter.

"ExCuSe Me? This is my house!" Jungkook stared at him in disbelief. "I do what I want!"

Taehyung winces at his tone. He knew he was right and that he had crossed the line with his shameless reply. "I-I'm sorry." Taehyung sighs. "You're right." He exits the bathroom scurrying, Jungkook right behind him.

"You still haven't answered my question." Jungkook raises an eyebrow as he watches Taehyung open up a suitcase full of clothes. He also noticed that Taehyung was unpacking his suitcase in the guest bedroom. "Are you ignoring me now?"

Taehyung stiffens up and sighs in response. He stops placing his clothes on the bed and turns to look at Jungkook. "I-How do I start?" He licks his lips nervously and adverts eye contact. "I broke up with my boyfriend-"

"-You have a boyfriend?" Jungkook thought he was single since he thought he had been after Jimin.

"Yes, well, I used to." Taehyung bites his bottom lip. "We broke up just the other day. I used to live in his apartment and as you can imagine, I cannot live under the same roof as my ex."

"...does Jimin know? Why not go to his house?" Jungkook was confused to say the least. He didn't know whether Taehyung and Jin were really that close or if Taehyung was just crossing the line to Jin's hospitality.

"Please don't tell Jiminie I'm here!"

"I won't. Just tell me why you don't want him to know."

Taehyung looks around, observing the pale yellow walls of the room. He rally could or believe he was standing inside Jimins boyfriends house. To what level of low had he stooped to? "I don't want to ruin his vibe. Right now, he's the most happiest I've ever seen. That's thanks to you, Jungkook. And if he finds out that Hoseok and I broke up-he'll be devastated."

"Wait, you and Hoseok? Isn't that Jimin's other best friend?" Jungkook only ever heard of Hoseok from Jimin but he's never met him. "You dated Jimin's other best friend?"

"Yes. Now do you see why I don't want to tell him? At least not yet? He would end up stuck between choosing between us and I don't want that for him. I don't want to make him sad or unhappy."

Jungkook sighs, he looks away from the anxious face Taehyung carried around and stared at the open suitcase on the ground. "Fine." Jungkook made up his mind. "I won't tell Jiminie so long you tell him as soon as you see him."

Taehyung grimaces at the thought but nonetheless nods his head in agreement. "Okay. I will."

At that, there conversation comes to an end. Jungkook says his goodnight and Taehyung answering in return.

Jungkook leaves Taehyung's temporary bedroom and closes the door behind him. Already, he had a bad feeling about keeping Taehyung's secret from Jimin. They had promised they would be honest with each other but Jungkook keeping his lips sealed was breaking that promise.

Jungkook really didn't like this.
