the welcome gathering.
taehyung was thankful that everyone was minding their own business, nobody dared to look on his way when he stepped into the big hall.
well.. not until..
“everyone, i would like to welcome someone who is very special..” the dean spoke, looking around. “it will be such an honor to take the president’s son under our university’s wing.. ” series of gasp and squeals echoed throughout the room.
taehyung was being nervous as the dean kept on glancing on his way, jungkook must’ve noticed it so he subtly reached for taehyung’s hands as he felt the younger relaxed a bit under his hold.
“please welcome.. ” the dean heaved a deep sigh, “kim taehyung! the son of south korea’s president kim hyu soo! a round of applause please.. ”
it seemed like a dramatic moment as the spotlight hit taehyung’s face, everyone erupted into cheers... welcoming him.
he was nervous to say the least but he was happy, he felt that the people around him was genuine. he bowed multiple times and sent some smiles on different people.
after the mini introduction, the night went on with some university officials giving their speeches, taehyung was sitting on the corner with jungkook on his side when jungkook suddenly spoke up.
“i’m just gonna go to the bathroom. stay here okay?” taehyung rolled his eyes but nodded anyways.
“i’ll be back, don't do anything stupid.” was jungkook’s last words until he disappeared on the crowd.
taehyung was bored, people were dancing around infront of him but he wasn’t in mood and he’s sure that jungkook won't allow him.
“hey tae!” taehyung was snapped out of his thoughts due to the voice.
“oh? jimin?” taehyung squinted under the dim lights.
“yep! it's me. im glad that you still remembered me.” jimin chuckled while sipping on his drink, “i was watching you from afar and you looked so out of this party.. so i decided to approach you.”
“this welcome party is so boring! i barely know anyone and i couldn’t even touch a drink because jungkook was so strict as if im not an adult!” taehyung ranted softly, pouting his lips.
jimin watched taehyung with pure adoration with a plan on his head, “do you wanna get out of here?” he proposed.
taehyung was taken a back as he looked at jimin confused. he sighed and crossed his arms, “jungkook won't allow me.. ”
“but jungkook’s not here. see?” said jimin, twisting body to look around with his arms raised halfway, “look around taehyung, he's not here. just live your life for a bit!”
taehyung looked around and closed his eyes. in that moment, he didn’t even thought of jungkook’s last words as he left the hall with jimin.
...
“so.. this is where i spend my lonely emo nights as a college student..” jimin plopped down on the ground as taehyung looked ahead of the building.
“jimin.. this.. is so beautiful!” he cheered like a little kid, he ran forward towards the railing.
after they left the venue, jimin lead taehyung towards his “pacified rendezvous” as what he named it. taehyung was curious so he let jimin grab his hand and carry him on the university’s rooftop.
“yeah. it is beautiful..” jimin responded, absentmindedly looking at taehyung who was admiring the city lights ahead.
he quickly averted his gaze when taehyung walked towards him and plopped beside him.
“this.. this is actually my first time hanging out with a friend without my security.. thank you.. ” taehyung said as he looked at jimin, sending him a sweet smile.
“nah, it's okay. im thankful that i met you actually, i thought you were arrogant—” “hey!” taehyung interrupted, “just listen okay?” jimin chuckled.
“i thought you were arrogant you know, there are stereotypes around sons of politicians like you but you weren’t even close to that when i first met you. you're so sweet and kind.. i wasn't expecting that at all.”
taehyung felt his heart melting towards jimin words, “thank you..” he choked, teary-eyed he launched himself onto jimin and hugged the latter.
“can i be friends with you?” taehyung asked as he slowly back away from the hug.
“just friends?” jimin teased, making taehyung’s cheeks blush.
“u-um.. yeah. why? do you want us to be m-more?”
jimin hummed as he slowly leaned in to taehyung, “what if i told you that i like you?”
taehyung was lost in the moment as he looked jimin, “are you even gay? i dont know.. ” he whispered, unsure of what was going to happen.
jimin laughed, “im bi taehyung.” then he cupped taehyung’s face “it's okay tae, im not going to force you.. ”
taehyung could hear his heart hammering against his chest. he felt happy, jimin then took this chance to kiss taehyung on the cheeks.
the kiss was short, taking taehyung aback. it definitely left an impact on him as his eyes grew wide after.
“im gonna wait for you okay?”
“okay.. ” he smiled as bit his cheeks.
their moment was interrupted when the rooftop’s door suddenly opened loud.
“taehyung?!” he heard jungkook call out.
“fuck! im doomed.” taehyung whispered as him and jimin scrambled against their feet.
he ran towards where jungkook was, “yeah?” he answered.
“taehyung! where the fuck have you been!” jungkook aggressively asked as he marched towards taehyung.
“you don't have to be mad! i was bored during the party okay?”
“what do you mean ‛i dont have to be mad’; i fucking searched for you around the campus! i even called back ups because you were gone from the spot that i left you! listen, my job is to keep you protected and safe and if you don't understand that atleast respect me!” jungkook went off as guilt took over taehyung, he was frozen on his feet.
“i-im so—” taehyung was cut off.
“taehyung what do you mean you're doomed?” jimin appeared behind taehyung’s back mildly panting. he looked towards jungkook, and back at taehyung, then back at jungkook.
“uh.. what's happening?” he asked, confused of the scenario laid in front of him.
“listen, im taehyung’s bodyguard and i suggest that you should stop seeing him. taehyung, let's go.” jungkook spoke firmly as he grabbed taehyung by the arm and exited the rooftop leaving a confused but angry jimin behind.
