A cloud of smoke evaporated into the night sky and Hoseok found himself grimacing at the horrendous smell. He hated the smell of smoke and having Min Yoongi as a friend didn't help since the guy absolutely loved smoking.

Yoongi flashed him a brief innocent look, not really understanding what the big deal was.

"You should quit smoking, man." Hoseok frowned.

Yoongi faced him and smiled, the smoke hitting Hoseok right in the face this time, making him feel nauseous. "And you should quit being a pussy."

"Fuck you." Hoseok coughed and threw a light punch at the amused Yoongi.

It got quiet for a bit after that and truth be told, Yoongi liked it that way. A constantly whining Hoseok wasn't something he enjoyed at all so he appreciated every little moment of silence.

"How are things going by the way?"

Yoongi looked at the younger male, cigarette in between his lips. He didn't know what he was really getting at. Not to mention that Hoseok didn't care to ask him such a thing before.

"What do you mean?" He questioned back, arching one of his eyebrows in the process.

Hoseok chuckled and leaned against his own motorbike. "How are things going with Taehyung? Did you see him again or what?"

Yoongi dropped his cigarette and stepped on it, lips forming a brief smirk. So that's what Hoseok wanted to know.

"Nothing special. I've seen him about two times." Yoongi seemed a bit blunt and Hoseok nodded, knowing better not to press the topic any further.

He knew that Yoongi wasn't one to express himself properly but being his friend for a few years definitely had it's advantages. It was obvious to Hoseok that he felt quite interested in the boy he had met. He often mentioned him, something he had never done before, and a small spark of hope lit up inside Hoseok.

He really hoped his friend would open up to someone and start loving.

"What about you and that cutie?" Yoongi smirked at his friend's suddenly flustered state and shoved his hands into his pockets, finding the situation amusing.

Hoseok cleared his throat. "I mean, we've been talking a lot for the past few days. He really is a cutie."

It was an interesting sight, to say the least. Yoongi was happy for the younger. It seemed like he finally found someone.

"Shit, I ran out of cigarettes." Yoongi clicked his tongue and heard Hoseok sigh as he sat on his motorbike.

Hoseok did the same and looked at the older. "I also have to buy some things. Let's go."

Yoongi flashed him a grin and soon after, he spoke in a teasing tone. "Let's race, kid. If I get there first you'll buy me a pack of cigarettes."

Hoseok frowned at the nickname and accepted the challenge. The sound of their motorbikes speeding up made the ground shake.

"Hurry up, Tae! The store is going to close soon!" Jimin yelled at Taehyung who stumbled out of his room as fast as he could.

They were about to have a movie marathon but they ran out of snacks so they had to hurry to the store that was about ten minutes away.

"Stop screaming! I'm here!" Taehyung groaned in frustration, exiting the apartment with an agitated Jimin by his side.

It was extremely cold outside and Taehyung cursed internally at himself for not taking a jacket. If only Jimin didn't pressure him to hurry up.

They walked at a brisk pace down the street, both shivering due to the cold weather.

It didn't take long before they reached their destination and hurried inside the store, both glad that they made it in time. Jimin grabbed a basket and scanned a snack aisle while Taehyung headed towards a different aisle to search for some drinks.

Looking around, he noticed that the two of them were the only customers. He shrugged and continued looking for their favorite drinks, but it seemed like his efforts were in vain.

The respective drinks were out of stock and he let out a grunt before moving on to another aisle, grabbing a few snacks as well.

"This should be enough.." he muttered to himself and proceeded to walk back to Jimin but he was nowhere to be seen.

He sighed heavily and just as he headed towards the cashier, he noticed the short male talking with a guy he didn't know so he could only assume that it was the guy Jimin was into.

Walking towards them with a polite smile, Jimin hurried to introduce them to one another.

"Taehyung, this is Hoseok, my..friend." Jimin spoke excitedly, his cheeks becoming a bit rosy as Hoseok ruffled his hair with a smile before he faced Taehyung.

Taehyung smiled at him, feeling a bit awkward due to the fact that Hoseok was staring at him like a hawk for some reason.

"Nice to meet you, Taehyung!" Hoseok's serious expression turned bright again as he patted Taehyung's broad shoulder.

"Likewise."

Just as Taehyung took his eyes off the two males, another one entered the store with an angry expression. "What's taking you so damn long?"

Of course it had to be Min Yoongi.

Taehyung's eyes became twice their actual size as soon as Yoongi noticed him. A rosy tint covered his cheeks and Yoongi took the opportunity to walk closer to him.

"Who do we have here.." his raspy voice caused Taehyung to gulp and look over at Jimin, asking for help, but Jimin only shrugged and flashed him a smile.

Hoseok and Jimin watched the pair with great interest, deciding to give the two some space. Taehyung groaned and eventually looked back at Yoongi, still blushing. He didn't know why he was so embarrassed every time they crossed paths but it was definitely frustrating.

"It's..nice to see you again." He mumbled under his breath and heard Yoongi chuckle.

Yoongi's gaze softened the more he looked at the boy. He found him so adorable and he simply couldn't help but reach out and ruffle his hair.

Taehyung bit down on his bottom lip, feeling his heartbeat speed up at the sudden contact. It disappeared as quick as it occurred but that didn't make him calm down.

"It's nice to see you again, too. Want me to give you a ride home?" Yoongi questioned the younger who just finished paying for all the snacks he had bought.

Taehyung looked at him with a small smile which Yoongi returned as they faced each other.

Jimin and Hoseok were still talking to each other as well, not too far away from them, seemingly in their own little world.

"Uh, there's no need. Thank you." His boxy smile made Yoongi stare yet again.

Damn, he was so pretty.

"Alright, you two take care on your way home. Hoseok let's go." Yoongi winked at Taehyung one last time before he gestured Hoseok to follow him.

Jimin walked back to Taehyung's side and both of them waved at the older males who quickly disappeared from their sight. It got quiet again and Taehyung could finally let out a relieved sigh.

"Damn, looks like we have a juicy topic to talk about tonight." Jimin spoke up in a teasing tone, earning a groan from Taehyung as they headed back to their apartment.
