Bus Ride || TaeJinKook ☑️

Confused

"So what happened? Did you enjoy it?" Jimin asked me while he opens the new tops I promised to buy for him for not coming with me last night.

"He was so gorgeous last night Jimin. Anyway, any time of the day any day he is just... gorgeous." I can still remember how his blonde locks compliment his beautiful facial features. It even made his luscious plump lips pop out. "And I love how I am so comfortable being with him. He did not make judgments when I told him about me being.. you know."

"Woah! For real Tae? Opening up with your personal information on the first date?" Jimin is talking but his eyes are fixed on the new clothes that I bought for him.

"Why not? I don't have any apprehensions towards it. And besides, he will know about it soon so why not say it now? And I can't see anything wrong with that. That's the real me." I said as we settle down at the school cafeteria.

"You're getting serious with Jin huh?" Jimin is so naive. He knows me. When I want something, I usually focus on it.

"What serious are you talking about? I want to get to know him first. I really do think there's something unusual about him." Jin's aura speaks volumes. I know there's something in him that I am so eager to know.

"Unusual? What do you mean by unusual?" Jimin looked at me keenly

"Nothing. Anyway, I don't really want to get in his personal problems but I really do think he has."

Jin has answers to my questions that are not appropriate. Things that have double meanings in it. I believe he's not working as a waiter. I know his work is something different. When I say different, I know it's more than being a waiter.

"He said he was there in Brickstone the other night for some 'business' reasons. You know Brickstone well Jimin. You cannot get inside if you're not elite. It means he met someone from a wealthy clan. I don't really care who but I wonder why."

"But he said he is a waiter. What business was he talking about then?" Jimin inquired.

I shrugged. That's what I wanted to know too. Perhaps, trust is something that he cannot give to others right away. Of course, he will not give out private information that easy. Besides, we're still getting to know each other. So that's okay. Very much okay.

Seokjin

I don't know if I should be happy that I went with Taehyung last night. He is too good to be true. I am getting scared now to get closer to him. I don't want to fall for him. I am weak in this. He should have not chosen to be kind and nice to me.

I am scared that if I let him date me again, he will retract everything once he knew my real job. And what more if he learned that I am a sex buddy of the son of one of the chaebols? That I am being paid for that.

Money. All because of money. But thinking about all of it, what is the reason why I needed money? To survive. To finish my degree. To get out of this dirty job. After all, it's not all about the money. It's about continuing to live.

This is the hardest part of being alone. Because of poverty, my mom died of her lingering illness. We didn't have the money to buy her medicines and we don't have money to bring her to a hospital.

It caused my father to resort to stealing. But he was apprehended. My father has been in prison for five years now. He did not even saw my mother for the very last time. He's not there during her funeral. His request to attend the funeral was not granted. I pity him. My father is a good person. But he needs to pay for the crime that he committed no matter what his intention was.

My life has been unpleasant. I am just trying to get by each day. I only have several pieces of clothing and most were given by Yoongi. So when I finally earned a considerable amount because of my dirty job, I started to buy for myself. I am also saving some so I can buy clothes and food for my father. It's been a while since I last saw him. I missed him. I know he did not have the bad intention to steal. It's not good either, all he wanted was to at least take my mother to a doctor.

I saw Taehyung and Jimin sitting at the corner of the school cafeteria. I tried my best not to look at them but it appears that Taehyung can sense my presence.

"Jin!." He stands up leaving Jimin sitting alone. "Good noon."

His boxy smile can do wonders, really! I forgot all my worries. I sometimes wish Mr. Jeon will not go home soon otherwise, I'll be needing to work discreetly from Taehyung. He is so persistent.

"Good noon." I greeted back.

"You join us on our table." He invited me as I order for some food. Taehyung is so patient to wait. He even brought my food tray to the table.

"You did not come," I asked Jimin.

"I'm sorry. I need to attend to some personal issues." Jimin looks sad.

"I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you're okay." I tried to show him my sympathy. Just like me, it looks like Jimin has financial problems. His clothes are worn out his bag looks old. I can see myself in him.

"Yeah, everything went well last night," Jimin said with a wide smile.

"Maybe we can go out again? On Sunday? That's your day off right?" Taehyung asked.

My heart skipped a beat. But before I can answer yes, my phone rings.

I wonder why Mr. Jeon is calling. He should be in another country right now for a business trip.

"Hey!" I greeted as I went up to move out of the cafeteria. I don't want Taehyung and Jimin to hear my 'business' calls.

"Hi, baby boy. How are you?" He asked. It sounds sweet, to be honest.

"I'm good. You're supposed to be in a meeting Mr. Jeon." I reminded him. But I heard him chuckled.

"I'm back in Korea Ken. The whole training was canceled and rescheduled." Excitement all over his voice. I don't know if I should be happy or disappointed. But there's a sudden feeling of enthusiasm in my heart. "See you tonight? You want me to pick you up in school?"

"No!" I blurted out, mindlessly. "Oh sorry. I'll just go to your apartment or maybe meet you somewhere else."

"Anywhere my baby boy. You text me the place, I will pick you up. Let's have dinner before we go home." Date? Again?

I smiled unconsciously. "I guess you better choose the place. I will choose Mc Donalds if..."

"Mc Donalds then. See you tonight?"

What? The son of a chaebol eating at Mc Donalds? "Uh.. Okay.. See you."

As much as I want to be happy, everything made me more confused. How can I date two guys at the same time? This is not good.

Taehyung or Jungkook?
