Teaser:
Kim Seokjin has a journal. Boring, right?
Wrong.
All of his friends know that he has one, but he has never let anyone look inside.
One day, that changes.
BOOM his biggest secret is out, and his life takes a turn for the better or for the...
Jungkook is going to read Jin's diary- I mean journal.
The seven boys are lounging around, still groggy from the movie they just watched, while just chatting about life and trying to come up with activities to do. Jungkook, on the other hand, was deep in thought, thinking about his evil scheme.
"Clearly, whatever Jin has been writing is secretive and valuable - just like his feelings toward Namjoon."
So what's the worst that could happen?
"Either we find no dirt, or Jin will be mad. If we find no dirt, we could just pretend it didn't happen or buy Jin food as an apology. And if we do find the tae- I mean tea, Jin won't get mad - he'll thank me later. Because by then, Namjin will be living happily ever after."
Jungkook looks at Taehyung with a small smirk - the older returning a look of confusion. He's a little scared, but also too excited to pay attention to the small voice telling him not to read Jin's journal.
"First of all, I need to somehow get Seokjin hyung to leave... hmm..."
Jungkook ponders the thought for a second, but the idea hits him immediately, the mischief almost naturally coming to him.
"Seokjin hyung?"
"Yeah?"
"So, today is my birthday..."
"I, um, know?"
"Can you pleaseeee go to the Korean BBQ place nearby and get us some take out? For me?"
Jin gives him a sassy listen-boi-who-do-you-think-i-am look and proceeds with, "Why can't you go get us food? We're the guests!"
Jungkook shoots back a pout, widening his eyes and gently furrowing his eyebrows.

Out of the corner of his eye, he sees Taehyung's face soften and look away. Jungkook smiles internally at the reaction, but goes back to focusing on his goal of getting Jin out of the house.
He bats his eyelashes. Taehyung chokes on his spit. "Pleaseee Seokjin hyung?"
Jin sighs dramatically and stands up, Jungkook smiling victoriously in responce.
"FINEEE." Jin whines. "Come, Namjoon, let's get go get this brat some food-"
"NO!!!" Taehyung's head bolts up to Jungkook's outcry and notices Jungkook's smile fall faster than ever.
"W-what do you mean, 'No'?" Jin asks, even more confused than before.
"Um... I - Um..."
"Oh no!" Jungkook panics. "I haven't thought this far into the conversation! What do I say? WHAT DO I SAY? AHH!"
"Um... Because..." Jungkook frantically meets eyes with Taehyung, and begs that the message for help telepathically sends.
"Because..."
"Because I need to talk to him." Taehyung interrupts.
A hint of jealousy appears in Jin's eyes as he replies, "What do you need to talk to him about?"
"Just... uhm... something important." Taehyung walks over and grabs Namjoon's hand as Jin's mouth flattens out into a line. "It's really important... And um... private?"
Jin's eyebrows furrows at Taehyung's touchiness with Joon, but says nothing.
"So..." Taehyung continues, slowly and carefully. "... I need him to stay-"
"Fine!" Seokjin suddenly spits out and leaves, partially slamming the door on the way out.
"So do you want to explain what that was about?" Namjoon asks after a minute of awkward silence.
Taehyung yanks his hand away from Namjoon with disgust and walks over to Jungkook.
"Yeah, Kookie. What was that all about?"
Jungkook grabs Taehyung's hand and leads him into the kitchen. "Okay... So Taetae, I have an idea. But I need your help."
"You know I'll help..."
Taehyung pauses as he notices Jungkook's gaze lower, and he follows it to realize their hands were still intertwined.
"Kookie..." Taehyung looks at the floor, his face glowing pink as he tries to pull away. But Jungkook holds on tight. Taehyung looks back up into Jungkook's eyes.
"Taehyungie... I can't do this without you. But I also need you to trust me."
"Of course I trust-"
"Good."
Taehyung doesn't even manage to finish his sentence as Jungkook interrupts him and drags him back out into the living room, where Hoseok, Yoongi, Jimin and especially Namjoon stand there, waiting for an answer.
