Taehyung ran to Jin's house and only paused to set his hair back in place before he rang the bell. The door immediately flew open and instead of wishes and hugs, a punch hit his shoulder that was strong enough to make Taehyung lose his balance.

Before he could hit the ground, a pair of hands pulled him close.

"Jimin-ah! It is his birthday!", Jin said as he pulled Taehyung towards his body and away from Jimin.

Jimin was glaring at Taehyung while Yoongi watched them with mild amusement.

"Why the fuck do you think you've a phone?", Jimin yelled at him.

"I am sorry, I – "

"Oh great! He is sorry. That makes everything fine! Excellent!", Jimin interrupted him, with sarcasm dripping every syllable.

Jin began to laugh and Taehyung's world paused. He was still wrapped between Jin's arms and watched the elder's eyes crinkle at the corners as he laughed. His cheeks a light pink against his pale skin mostly because of the cold or maybe because that's how Seokjin is. Beautiful.

So, he did what he had to. He kissed him.

He could hear Jimin's whines in the background and perhaps Yoongi's light laughter, but all those sounds died too when Jin kissed him back.

"Happy Birthday, TaeTae.", Jin spoke into their kiss.

Taehyung hummed back and murmured an apology but didn't break their kiss until Jimin smacked him on his head.

"Tae. I am here too.", he pouted.

Taehyung let go of Jin, hugged Jimin and pretended to try to kiss him.

"Ew, get off me and go back to your boyfriend.", Jimin whined pushing Taehyung away from him.

Jin linked his arms with him and motioned them all to get into the house. "It is fucking cold."

"Nah. It is already 10. We've to go home. We stayed out the whole day waiting for this jackass.", Jimin replied.

Yoongi patted Taehyung as a way of wishing him. And between Taehyung's protests of asking Jimin to stay back, Jimin kissed him of the forehead, "Happy Birthday. I hate you for today, but I promise I'll love you from tomorrow."

"I love you too, Chim.", Taehyung said as he made Jin wrap his hands around his chest.

They bade their good byes and good nights and the boyfriends went back in.

As soon as the door closed, Jin pinned Taehyung to the wall, "You are late. Very late."

"I am sorry. I should explain – "

A pair of lips stopped him from whatever explaining he was about to do and that made his eyes go wide. "Jin, are you drunk?"

Jin bobbed his head twice, "Just a little."

Taehyung looked behind Jin to see an entire wine bottle lying empty on the table. Jin followed his gaze and pouted. "Fine, more than a little. You know, to ease off the tension."

"Why were you tensed?", Taehyung asked as he watched Jin nibbled nervously on his lower lip. God, the restraint Taehyung had to stop himself from nibbling on them.

"Jin-ah?", Taehyung pushed.

Jin left go of Taehyung and glanced between him and the ground, "I thought – I thought you were, you know..."

"I what?"

"I thought you were leaving me."

"Leave where?"
