red string - taekook

7

jungkook was hesitant to tell his hyungs what had happened. it was only yoongi and hoseok in the apartment.

'where is jimin hyung?'

'he went to taehyung's place'

jungkook's ears perked up at the mention of taehyung's name and his head shot up to look at yoongi who had barely even been paying attention to the youngling.

after a few minutes, jungkook could hear the clicking of the front door of their small apartment.

'hello gays, i am back!' he yelled, making the other two roll their eyes and groan loudly. jungkook was the only one who was, for the first time in forever, excited for jimin's coming back home.

'he's never home, but when he is i wish i wasn't' yoongi said.

jimin entered the living room like the little shining star that he is. his whole being lit up the room, making the atmosphere a little lighter.

'well i have news for you!' he said while smiling.

'oh my god are you finally moving out?' yoongi's eyes widened in happiness.

hoseok nudged him, while jimin just snickered. 'what?' yoongi asked hoseok.

'you wish i was moving out' jimin's plump lips formed into a smirk.

'what news do you have hyung?' jungkook walked up to him and hugged him. jimin's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. 'what's up with him?' he mouthed to hoseok. 'i really don't know' he mouthed back.

'since when were you this clingy?'

'i was missing my favorite hyung, that's all'

'since when were you missing me?'

then jimin's eyes widened in realization. 'you aren't missing me at all! you just want information from me! you know that i know!'

'what do you mean?' hoseok asked, while jungkook pulled his arms away from jimin. red rushed to his cheeks.

'this little fucker knows we set everything up for him.' he pointed at jungkook. 'taehyung told me.'

'taehyung told you? did he tell you anything else?' jungkook asked, butterflies flying all around his stomach knowing that taehyung spoke about him.

'yah don't get your hopes up, keep that thing in your pants' jimin told him. 'anygays, i finally got a boyfriend'

yoongi choked on his spit. 'you what?!' jungkook jumped to get him some water while hoseok rubbed his back.

'move away from me' he pushed hoseok away, while he just giggled. 'what do you mean you have a boyfriend?'

'well it means that i have a boy that is my boyfriend' jimin explained to yoongi, knowing it will get him mad.

'no, not that!' he said 'who is it though?'

'namjoon hyung'

'what?!' jungkook and hoseok yelled in unision, while yoongi was so close to fainting. jungkook ran up to jimin and hugged him while hoseok was fanning the elder. 'i can't believe namjoon hyung is your boyfriend... that is beautiful!'

'oh thank you jungkookie' jimin smiled sweetly at him and jungkook felt as his hopes have risen up. jimin's face turned into a serious one and he pushed jungkook away. 'but i'm not saying anything' jungkook frowned at that.

'but how did he ask you?' hoseok asked jimin.

'how did he ask me what?'

yoongi groaned. 'how did he ask you to be his boyfriend you dumb human'

'well, see... he didn't...' jimin scratched the back of his head.

'what do you mean he didn't?' jungkook furrowed his brows.

'well he didn't ask me at all. i just kinda assumed that we are? we didn't label anything though'

'oh thank god' everyone looked at yoongi who closed his eyes and started smiling in relief. he did notice the guys staring at him sternly until hoseok punched him in the shoulder.

'what? i'm just relieved'

'well... we did kinda made out? on taehyung's couch?'

'oh my god poor taehyung! i can't even imagine the horror on his face when he found out'

'he literally barged on us! he should have knocked!'

'it's his apartment! are you expecting him to tell you when he is going back to his home?'

'dear god why am i just imagining you and namjoon together... ew, ew, ew, ew, ew!' yoongi started hitting his head with a pillow.

'hyung!'

'look i don't see why you are being so dramatic? i told you all. it's better if you found out something from me rather than from taehyung or whatever' jimin explained.

'yeah, hyung is right!' jungkook cheered on jimin.

'jungkook, you're annoying me.' jimin told him bluntly making the younger pout .

'but...' jimin trailed off. jungkook's eyes lightened up and he started jumping around him like a small puppy.

'but i think you deserve to know this'

'what?'

'taehyung likes you'

'he what?!' yoongi, hoseok and jungkook yelled all together.

'jesus if you fuckers yell one more time, my eardrums are going to burst' jimin shut his eyes tightly while putting his hands over his ears.

jungkook walked up to his elder and pulled his hands away. 'please tell me you're not lying!'

'i'm not lying!'

'how can i know that?! you always prank me!'

'i'm telling you the truth! it's up to you if you're going to believe it or not!'

'hyung!'

'i swear on namjoon that i'm not lying' jimin said, rolling his eyes in the meantime.

'why bring the poor guy up?' hoseok asked giggling. 'he's probably having the hiccups at home'

-

'hey hyung did you see my-' taehyung entered namjoon's room only to see him slightly jumping as he was having the hiccups.

'wh-at do yo-u wan-t taeh-yung?'

he wasn't able to form a full sentence without hiccupping. taehyung found it hilarious, which namjoon didn't. he was getting slightly irritated.

'wh-at do yo-u wa-nt fr-om m-'

'oh nevermind, i found it' taehyung said, picking up his pen - completely ignoring namjoon.

he was about to leave, but stopped in his tracks when he heard namjoon hiccup again.

'and by the way hyung, i think someone swore on you' he said through giggles while leaving the annoyed elder alone.
