'no way!' jimin exclaimed enthusiastically.

'yes way jimin!'

'wait, so you saw your ex lover and all you did was hum to everything he asked you?' namjoon tilted his head.

'well.. no'

-

'oh my god, i'm so happy to finally see you hyung! it's been so long!' jungkook was about to walk up to him and hug him, but taehyung walked back slightly. jungkook's expression dropped as to what he saw right now. he fixed his surprised expression with a blank one. his gaze shifted to the flower taehyung was holding.

'aster. nothing really changed huh?' taehyung just shrugged. 'i remember learning about every single flower just to find the one that was perfect for you. aster meaning a star in latin, because that's what you were and still are to me' jungkook smiled slightly.

taehyung looked at the small piece of red string on his finger that was now tugging him towards jungkook. his eyes widened as to what he was seeing right now. he couldn't believe it. no, it can't be. no... he thought to himself.

'hey you okay?' jungkook was waving his hands in front of the older boy. he just shivered and went back to-

'hold up, hold up' jimin interrupted his speech.

'what do you want now?' taehyung asked him, already annoyed.

'so he literally remembered your favorite flower and you stood there like an idiot, zooning out?'

'what would you do if your best friends set you up to meet your ex boyfriend?' taehyung asked him, emphasizing the word 'your'.

'fair enough' namjoon spoke up.

'after all you two have no rights to say anything in this. you dinbwits set this up to me in hopes we will get back together.' taehyung said.

'in our defense, it wasn't our idea. it was yoongi's' namjoon said, a small smile forming on his face.

'whatever'

'and may i add he even was flirting with you!' jimin exclaimed. 'no he wasn't?' taehyung said, it turning more into a question. 'and we're the dimbwits huh' jimin muttered.

'anyways, let me finish the story'

long story short, taehyung explained how he didn't want to go to choose the flowers. jungkook felt the same way. 'the only time i went to choose flowers was for you to be honest' jungkook said, rubbing his chin with his hand. taehyung felt awkward at the mention of their past, so he decided to ask him why was he here.

'well, seokjin hyung is getting married... and he told me i should go choose the flowers! i instantly asked to go with the older hyungs but they told me i should do this and now i know why they did this' he smiled a little bit.

'seokjin told me the same thing?' taehyung said, the sentence more turning into a question.

'don't you see or are you just dumb?'

'what?' taehyung was taken back with what he said.

'they want us back together' the sentence rung in taehyung's head. he didn't know if he felt excited or mad or sad.

'they want us what?' 'they want us together taehyung, don't you see all the effortless things they do to make us fall in love with each other all over again.'

'you know jungkook, you choose the flowers but i have to go now'

and with that taehyung left the flower shop.

'so that explains why you came home heated mad' namjoon said in realization.

'and what i had to come home is you two making out on my couch! ew!' taehyung yelled.

they looked at each other and started giggling. 'you're so cute jimin'

'oh no you're cuter'

'you're the cutest'

'oh my god joonie you a-'

'will you guys shut up?' taehyung groaned. 'at least keep your dicks in your pants for a few minutes until i'm done with whatever this it is' he showed to the bowl he was barely eating anything from. 'excuse you! it was made with love!' jimin pouted. 'don't worry minnie i liked it very much'

'oh joonie...'

'oh my god please shut up! you're going to drive me crazy!' taehyung started pulling on his hair.

'okay, okay calm down tiger. we'll stop' jimin said, rolling his eyes in the meantime.

'anyways, so you found out what we wanted y'all to do' 'yes namjoon, i found out and i was mad. because you could have just told me oh jungkook's coming too! go have some fun with him. i would have actually prepared myself'

'be honest, you would make an excuse to not go at all' jimin told him while he raised a brow.

'that is besides the point!' taehyung piped up. 'after all, you can't just do that to me. jimin, if anyone knows how much i hurt it was you and you still let them do all of that. i don't know if you guys expected me to just walk up into his arms and tell him 'we're together' but it doesn't work that way.'

namjoon and jimin stayed silent. they knew that the younger was right. but did it make them stop?
