Minji's Sitter | Taejin ✔️

Fifty-Eight

"I thought we agreed on no drinking?" Taehyung says while taking a seat next to Jin and removing the unopened wine bottle from in front of him. "What's going on with you? I feel like we have gotten closer, but at the same time, I feel like the last month you have been acting weird, and no, this is not about you not moving in."

"I have given moving in some thought, and I do, I want to." Jin looked at Taehyung and sighed. Things were going well with them; they had told Minji that they were officially together, which made her extremely happy, her only concern was if Jin and her dad were together why was Jin living in a different home.

After raising such a point, Taehyung used it to ask Jin to move in with him. Jin didn't say yes, and he didn't say no; he told Taehyung he needed some time to align his thoughts with what he wanted for his future.

Taehyung gave Jin space and time he needed because he knew it was a big jump in their relationship, and he didn't want to force anything Jin wasn't comfortable with. He thought they were good, but Jin was acting weird, even as they incorporated having sex into their relationship after their weekend together, Taehyung could feel something was off, but he didn't want to push too much. He learned with Jin that taking things in strides were better than going full force with everything, as he can easily misunderstand his intentions.

So hearing that Jin was okay with moving in made him happy, but also made him realize that Jin was acting weird about something else, something that had nothing to do with him moving in.

"Then what's going on? Something is wrong, Seokjin and I feel like you are creating distance between us, you are here, but then I feel like you are not."

Jin turned to face Taehyung, "I wasn't going to drink, you know, I was only looking at the bottle." he smiled at Taehyung.

"You are trying to deflect my attention from what I want to know, and I am not going to fall for it. You are worrying me, did I do something, are you still going to therapy? Is it school?" Taehyung was pulling at everything in his head as he thought about what could be wrong.

"No, everything is fine, and no, I haven't been to therapy lately, but I have an appointment coming up soon. Nothing is going on, Tae; I guess I have just been under the weather. I didn't realize I was being weird either; I will try to work on that." Jin rested his hands on Taehyung's thigh and smiled at him.

Taehyung looks at Jin, trying to figure out if he was telling him the truth, he noticed twice that Jin smiled, neither smile reached his eyes. He knew something was wrong, but he decided to let it go, if Jin were going to talk to him, he would do it when he was comfortable with it, and that's something he would have to trust.

"If you say so, I will believe you then, but know you can trust me with anything, no matter what it is."

"I know."

******

Jin, Taehyung, and Minji were in Taehyung's room watching a movie together when Minji had fallen asleep, so Taehyung decides to take her to bed.

After he had placed her in bed, he returned to his room to find Jin sitting in the middle of the bed with flashcards.

"Studying?"

"No, I thought we could play a game together, considering I am not sleepy unless you are sleepy thought."

Taehyung was intrigued that Jin wanted to play a game, so he immediately told him, no, he wasn't sleepy.

Jin was happy to hear that, "great, so I wrote some questions on these cards earlier, we will take turns picking one from the deck and answering them. I thought this was a good idea to ask some stuff; maybe we never got to ask or understand each other."
