In the middle vmk

THIRTY THREE

Things got a bit messy as Taehyung tried to explain what exactly he wanted to apologize for. Somewhere along the way of his apology he started making out with Jimin, don't ask him why, he wouldn't know, and then somewhere in the middle of the make out session, after hearing the youngest whimper, he pulled Jungkook into it as well.

How and why it happened was one of the greatest mysteries but there was no doubt in his mind anymore that he liked these two boys.

Was it weird? Maybe.

Did it freak him out a bit? Yeah.

Was he planning on running away again? No, he wouldn't let that happen again.

"I still have to apologize", Taehyung said with a heavy breath as he pushed Jungkook away, the boy pouting as he did so. Taehyung mouthed a sorry and turned back to Jimin.

"You don't have to", Jimin said with a shake of the head, "Seeing you two kiss while I'm sober made me realize why you freaked out this morning. It's kind of surreal how this is happening".

Taehyung sighed, relieved how he didn't actually have to explain everything. He still had something important to say though. "I just wanted to explain one more thing", he started, leaning his back against the headboard of the bed, "There's another reason I freaked out like that".

He paused for a second, seeing Jimin nod his head in order to tell him to continue. "The thing is that in my years of being gay, which I am, if you guys hadn't figured that out yet, I've been used a lot by straight people to experiment with. It got my heart broken more times than I like to admit".

"I understand", Jimin nodded, biting his lip in thought. He had been so mad at Taehyung but hearing him say this made it all much clearer for him.

"I was also scared we had taken advantage of Jungkook in his drunken state", Taehyung then said, directing his attention to the youngest boy who was watching them with big doe eyes.

"Huh? Me?", Jungkook asked, pointing at himself.

Jimin nodded, "Yeah, I thought the same thing". He then smiled at Jungkook, grabbing the hand that had been pointing at himself. "We kind of stole your first kiss while you were drunk. That's not a nice thing to do".

Jungkook tried really hard to frown at that, but his mouth wanted to smile at seeing Jimin's smaller hand slip into his. "It is okay hyungs. I think I wanted it".

"That's the worse part. You can't even remember the whole evening", Jimin replied with a sigh. He looked up as he felt his hand being squeezed.

Jungkook smiled at him, "I do remember this kisses now". The two older males blinked at the radiating smile coming from the youngest and turned to each other.

Taehyung whispered, "He's literally too cute. I don't think I can handle this".

Jimin chuckled and grabbed Taehyung's hand with his other free hand, now holding hands with both the males. "We need to talk about this", he said, raising their linked hands, "We can't just go on with our day without talking about what the hell is happening between the three of us".

"I agree", Taehyung nodded, his free hand now grabbing the youngest's free hand, "I think it's safe to say that we like each other".

Jungkook nodded, "Yes! Agree".

"But can three people be in a relationship like that? How does that work?", Jimin asked, tilting his head in confusion.

Taehyung shrugged "We can figure that out along the way, can't we?"

He knew he wouldn't have to worry about any intimacy between the three of them since he already figured that Jimin was asexual. But the question was if Jimin would be okay with Taehyung and Jungkook ever being intimated.

He decided that that was a question for another day. It may never even lead to that.

"So we three boyfriends now then?", Jungkook asked, smiling down at the two different hands holding his, "Like it". He smiled widely, his bunny teeth showing as he was squeezing the larger and smaller hands.

Jimin turned to Taehyung, "I agree. He's too cute". He watched as the usual cold male smiled as well and pulled his hand, bringing Jungkook closer. Taehyung pecked Jungkook's lips before kissing Jimin. He then jumped off the bed, leaving the two boys in a daze, "See you tomorrow losers".

And that's how Jungkook left the apartment with a ginormous smile on his lips and two new boyfriends. He wished he could tell the world about this, about the happiness he felt, but he knew that could never happen.

The thought kind of bummed him out but he didn't let it.

Even the next day at school the smile was still on his face. He got weird stares because of this since it wasn't typical for Jungkook to show his bunny smile. When the bullies threw insults at him he merely smiled at them and continued his way.

His broken Korean language, his ridiculous smile, or the homesickness he felt towards Ireland didn't matter anymore.

Because he knew that at the end of the day there would be two males standing at the school gate to take him home and pepper him with kisses. They didn't care about his broken speech, they never tried correcting him or laughed at him. They didn't make fun of his bunny smile and constantly reminded Jungkook of how cute it was. And his homesickness was quickly forgotten as the two Korean men made him love the country just that little bit more.
