THIRTY FOUR

A look of surprise quickly spread across Jungkook's face as soon as he stepped out of the school building. He had been hopping down the stairs, holding the straps of his bag tightly in his hands in case some bully tried ripping the bag off his back again. And that's when he spotted the newly dyed purple haired male and a slightly shorter male waiting for him at the gate of his school.

A wide smile formed on his lips and he broke into a sprint once the two males waved at him. "Hyungs!", he yelled, colliding against them both and bringing them into a hug, "What doing here you?"

Jimin ruffled the younger's hair, a fond smile spread across his lips, "We came here to take you on a date". Jungkook's doe eyes widened at this and he glanced at Taehyung who nodded in confirmation.

"A date?", the youngest asked, his voice soft as if he was in awe, "Where?"

Taehyung hooked his arm around the younger's neck and bumped his head against his, "Wherever you want Kook". This made Jungkook's smile even wider and he clapped his hands in excitement.

"Little café where we goed to first time", He said, glancing at the two males in case they would disagree. Jimin gave a firm nod and grabbed Jungkook's arm, beginning to lead him in the right direction, "Let's go then".

The oldest started asking Jungkook about his day at school while Taehyung trailed behind them, his eyes resting at both of their figures. The happiness he felt running through his body was disturbed by the burning feeling of the envelop in his pocket.

He had gotten the eviction letter that morning. Not knowing what to do with it, he had shoved it inside of his jacket, deciding he'd figure out what to do with it during the day. But instead he had pushed the thought about the letter into the deepest corners of his mind during his work until he felt it poking his ribs from inside the jacket.

He wondered if this was something people usually told their significant partner about. He wondered if he should tell his two partners and just get it over with.

But telling them meant telling them about the apartment. About how jobless he had been. The reason he had been jobless. And that would just go way back into his past, something he didn't want them to know about.

So he just kept quiet and plastered on a smile when he heard his name being called.

"Don't fall behind grapehead", Jimin yelled, pulling him forward by the arm. Taehyung raised an eyebrow at the nickname, "Your creativity isn't getting better Jimin".

Jimin scoffed, "Your hair colors aren't either".

Jungkook pouted at his bickering hyungs, "I like hyung's new color. It remind of a galaxy".

"See", Taehyung smiled proudly, throwing his arm around the younger's shoulder, "Jungkookie likes it".

"Pretty sure he's colorblind", Jimin muttered, rolling his eyes when he noticed Taehyung cheekily winking at him. He couldn't help but get flustered at the action.

Jimin shivered and zipped his jacket up to his neck, nuzzling his nose into his soft scarf. It had gotten windy that day and he was about to scold Taehyung for wearing such a light jacket and letting it hang open, when something white flew out of the younger's pocket.

He realized it was some kind of letter when it flew by him and he tried catching it. Taehyung and Jungkook walked on, not realizing that Jimin had disappeared in order to retrieve the flying envelope.

The older finally caught it and wanted to run up to his boyfriends but stopped once he noticed what the letter contained. In big bold letters it said EVICTION and it was sent to Taehyung.

"He's getting evicted out of his apartment?", Jimin mumbled to himself, a hint of sadness in his voice. The purple head hadn't mentioned anything to him all day, even though they had been together in the store since this morning.

He caught up to his boyfriends who had stopped once they had noticed Jimin not answering their question. Jimin jogged up to them and hid the envelope in his pocket, not ready to face Taehyung about it yet.

"Sorry, had to tie my shoelace", he lied through his teeth, though no one seemed to realize it. They merely shrugged and continued their way to the café.

"Taehyung", Jimin started once Jungkook had left for the bathroom, "I got something that belongs to you".

The younger raised his eyebrows in question but they quickly went into a frown when he saw the white envelope sliding over to him. "When were you going to tell us you were being sent out of your apartment?"

"I don't know", Taehyung mumbled, eyes still stuck on the white paper, "Guess I never planned on telling you guys".

"Taehyung", Jimin sighed, and that one action painfully told Taehyung that he was disappointed in him, "We are your boyfriends. You can tell us these things, you know?"

Taehyung let his head fall in shame, "I know".

"So why didn't you?"

The younger casted his gaze to the side, feeling his cheeks burn with embarrassment, "Because I don't want to seem like a loser to you guys"

Jimin sighed at that, "We honestly wouldn't think that about you". He then laid his hand on Taehyung's hand that was lying on the table, "You don't always have to act this tough you know? You can let your tough guy façade drop when you're with us".

"Just please don't tell Jungkook. I don't want him to worry about me", Taehyung softly said, feeling the warmth of Jimin's hand spread to his.

"I don't think that's a good idea Taehyung", Jimin sighed, shaking his head in disagreement, "If he finds out, he'll think we're keeping stuff from him. That's not how I want our relationship to be".

Taehyung was about to respond but saw Jungkook emerging from the bathroom, the colorful sweater he was wearing was not easy to miss.

"I'll tell him later", he only said before quickly stuffing the letter into his jacket. He ignored Jimin's displeased look and smiled at the younger joining them back at the table.

"Hi. Did I miss something?", Jungkook asked, taking his place next to Taehyung.

Taehyung shook his head, "Not at all".

Sorry for the boring chapters :(
