Helpless

(Helpless as in the Hamilton song as in helplessly in love this is FLUFF not angst announcement over enjoy the Oneshot)

"So, explain to me how you're single, again?"
"Well...if we go by the dating sims I've played in the past, I have like a million boyfriends and girlfriends, so I don't know what you're talking about."

Jimin rolls his eyes, leaning on his elbows and fixing his best friend with a meaningful stare. "I'm being serious. You're adorable, you care about people, you're so good at looking after others! There's gotta be a twink out there who'd fall in love with you. Like, more than a million of them, I don't doubt it. And a hopeless romantic like you-"
"Hey!"

The short, orange haired older male raises an eyebrow. "You're literally the most romantic top I've ever met, Kook, don't even try with that."
"Others can be romantic!"
"You literally read fanfiction about the fluffiest stuff and you cry at the angsty parts, don't come in here and lie to yourself about your own nature, young man."

Jungkook lowers his head, hiding his blushing face behind his slice of pizza, which he holds up in front of him like a shield. Jimin chuckles lightly, rolling his eyes again and running a hand through his hair. "I have a friend you could meet, if you'd like? Ultimate twinkage, really sweet, just wants someone to look after him, absolutely gorgeous, and he likes video games. I think you'd get on."

Jungkook sighs, choosing to eat his pizza (because pizza is amazing). "You can't play Cupid for me all the time, hyung, that's not how relationships work."
"I haven't finished! He's also looking for a romantic top who'll treat him like the angel he is but he doesn't think he deserves it-" Jungkook rolls his eyes, giving in.
"Okay, fine, do you at least have a picture of him or something?"

Jimin beams proudly, clearly delighted with himself for persuading his younger friend to at least consider the idea. He pulls out his phone, scrolling through his photos for a second before tilting the screen to show the picture on the screen, which is a simple candid photo of a young man with bright silver hair.

He's caught in the middle of a wide smile, head lowered over the body of a tiny black and tan coloured Pomeranian, eyes bright with the sort of fondness that only an owner can truly feel, his golden skin practically glowing in the lighting. There's something about the way his face conveys pure adorable kindness and humanity, something about the uniqueness of that smile - it strikes Jungkook right in the heart, makes him want to see more of it.

"You alright there, Kook?" Jimin asks knowingly, smirking a little at the shocked expression on the younger's face, at the faint blush colouring his pale cheeks.
"H-Huh? Oh, I'm- I'm fine, just thinking the dog's cute, that's all!"
"Sure," the older male says meaningfully. "Tae is pretty cute as well, isn't he?"

"I mean....yeah," Jungkook admits. "Have you got any more pictures of him?" Jimin nods eagerly, scrolling through a multitude of selfies of the gorgeous stranger, every single one causing Jungkook to blink a few times, surprised by the sheer beauty of this individual. "What's his name? And why haven't I met him?"

He then sighs, looking away from the screen for a moment. "Let me guess. He's got a really attractive top boyfriend who looks after him already. I ain't got a chance, and I doubt I'm his type." Jimin raises an eyebrow.
"Let's find out. Take a selfie with me and I'll put it on my Snapchat story, see if he reacts. He's never seen a picture of you before. And also, he's completely single. Has been since birth, I can confirm. I've known him all his life."

They take the picture, the younger male still sceptical about this idea. He tries to look his best (not that he needs to try), even though he's not certain that this stranger will notice him in particular. "His name is Taehyung, by the way. Kim Taehyung. He's a few months younger than me."
