Yoongi's POV
"His name is Kim Taehyung, Sir. Mr Jin met him when he was purchasing a gift for you. He helped him and Mr Jin even bought him a jacket and lunch as a reward. The same night he went to watch Mr Taehyung play at a bar. Then they went out for dinner to an Italian restaurant and Mr Jin dropped him off at his house. He went up to Mr Taehyung's house. We left after one hour to return to the dorm," Beom - Soek concluded.
Jin's bodyguard continued drawling in his monotone. I had bribed him to give me information on what Jin has been up to with Taehyung.
"That will be all now Beom-Seok. I will let you know if your services are required in the future," I say, dismissing him with a wave of my hand and a wad of cash.
So Jin only just met the man recently. Still, I don't like the way their friendship is going. I think I will keep better tabs on things.

Taehyung's POV
I volunteered to help Jin in the kitchen. Since I live alone, I'm pretty handy in the kitchen with getting my own meals. He was in the mood today to cook. And since I was feeling rather awkward in the dorm, I decided to join him in the kitchen so I wouldn't get in anyone's way.
We were laughing and fooling around in the kitchen when Yoongi walked in. I notice the tension that exists between him and Jin. He gets all flustered when Yoongi grabs an apple and tosses it before smiling and winking at Jin and exiting the kitchen.
"Urm, Jin hyung, can I ask you something?" I begin slowly.
"Sure Taehyung-ah," he says, whilst grating the cheese.
"Please don't think I'm forward or anything. But, do you have a crush on Yoongi sunbaenim?" I blurt out.
Jin blushes and I take that as confirmation even before he says anything.
"Am I that obvious?" He asks shyly and my heart twists a little in my chest.
"Kind of, hyung. But it's nothing to be embarrassed about. Crushes are a normal part of life I guess," I say, looking at him intently.
"It's just harmless. It's not like I'm in love with him or anything," he says.
I smirk and continue kneading the dough he has asked me to prepare. We're making home-made pizza.
"Do you think he likes you too?" I ask him, scanning his face for a reaction.
Jin's ears turn red. "I-I don't really know. He hasn't said anything like that to me. I was actually supposed to spend time with him last night but I got so caught up with us, that I forgot. I thought he would be really upset but he was okay. So I promised him, we'd spend time together, tonight," he concluded, smiling.
I don't know why, but my heart pains at this information. I didn't want to interfere in Jin's life. He has been nothing but supportive and good to me. How can I ever compete with someone like Min Yoongi? I decide I won't get involved with Jin anymore. I resolved to not make him uncomfortable and just be his friend if he will let me. And just like that, he surprises me with his next question.
"Did you enjoy our kisses Taehyung-ah?" He looks at me, shyly, a rosy, red blush creeping up onto his cheeks.
I'm stunned by his cuteness. How do I keep myself away from that? He's adorable. I lean in, my hands deep in flour dough, and place a soft kiss on his slightly parted lips in answer. He doesn't back away. Instead, he pulls me closer and deepens the kiss, hungrily. I respond with equal passion and kiss him deeply, my hands getting into his hair and pulling his body closer, sucking and kneading his plump lips.
When we pull away, breathless, I look at Jin and start laughing. He looks confused until I pull flakes of flour from his hair.
"Aaaaaargh Taehyung-ah!" He squeals and throws flour at me. It lands on my neck, sprinkling my face and hair. We burst out laughing at the state we're in and I pull him close to me, placing soft kisses on his cheek and lips, all the while laughing and playing.
We're brought out of our intimate and fun moment, when someone clears their throat loudly. I turn and look at Jungkook, who's just entered the kitchen.
"Urm, sorry to interupt," he smiles widely, and doesn't look in the least bit apologetic. "But, I'm kind of hungry Jin hyung. When will the food be ready?"
"Just ten more minutes maknae. We're almost done."
He smiles happily and just when he's about to leave the kitchen, he turns around and smiles wickedly, "Jin hyung, you know you've got flour all over your lips?"
Jin's ears turn beet red and he flings his kitchen towel at Jungkook, who yelps and runs away quickly. I laugh at their antics and start placing the toppings that Jin has prepared, on to the pizza.

Seokjin's POV
I'm not going to deny it, I really like Taehyung, a lot. It's like a breath of fresh air has been injected into my life ever since he smiled his way into it. He really is so talented. I'm surprised he hasn't been discovered sooner. I meant to ask him about that but everytime I try to ask him about his childhood, he closes up and changes the topic subtly. He thinks I don't notice but I know better than to pry. I'm sure he'll open up to me when he's good and ready.
I watch as he interacts with the members of the band. They're all really comfortable with him, except for Yoongi. But that's expected. Yoongi isn't one to warm up easily. But that's the thing about Taehyung that attracted me to him in the first place, his warmth and his ability to make you feel comfortable around him, without you even realising it.
He really is something special. I find myself watching him and smiling. He catches my eye and winks at me, smiling stupidly. I blush and look at my plate. The pizza was really good. We work well together. I feel I want to spend more time with him. I know what he's thinking. I can see it in his eyes. He thinks he's not good enough for me. I plan on changing all that very soon.
Just as my thoughts lead to my careful planning, in walks the man who can help me help Taehyung to reach his full potential and live the life that he was meant for all along....
