my brother's friend; kv

chapter 28

after jeongguk and taehyung spent a little more time in taehyung's room, they decide to go downstairs and join the others.

"finally.", hoseok comments and taehyung blushes.

yoongi grins, seeing their swollen lips and jeongguk's ruined hair.

"you guys should've looked into the mirror before coming here.", yoongi says and taehyung eyes grow wide. he turns his head to jeongguk to see how messy his hair is and his lips swollen.

namjoon takes a deep breath. he's not used to know his little brother is doing grown up things now.

"but you just kiss-"

"yeah! of course! w-we d-didn't have-", taehyung nervously stutters, not wanting his brother to think they had sex.

"okay.", namjoon says and nods his head.

now there's an awkward silence and no one knows what to say. taehyung and jeongguk still didn't sit down and are just standing there awkwardly.

"well... did you talk to jimin?", yoongi asks and taehyung nods. he and jeongguk allow themselves to finally sit down now.

"i will visit him tomorrow.", he says.

"what's with him?", jin asks curiously.

"he's ill.", yoongi simply replies.

"yeah but what does he have?"

"he was throwing up.", taehyung says sadly. "my baby mochi. i miss him." taehyung seriously doesn't know why he misses jimin that bad suddenly, but he really wishes to be with him right now.

"do you want me to drive you to his house?", jeongguk asks and taehyung thinks about it for a second.

"if it's not a problem-"

"of course it isn't. i'll pick you up later then. come.", he says and already stands up.

"oh and... i'm sure you'll give us your car, right joon?", jeongguk asks and namjoon looks at taehyung and jeongguk who are standing there, looking at him with big and curious eyes.

he was giving them a death glare but when he sees their cute expressions he can't be mad nor can't he say no.

"yeah."

taehyung smiles happily, standing up and running to the corridor to grab his jacket.

jeongguk takes the keys from namjoon before he also goes to the corridor, grabbing taehyung's hand just to intertwine their fingers.

they'll have to let go now anyway since they'll get in the car, but jeongguk just did it automatically and taehyung can feel the butterflies again. at every small action from jeongguk he can feel the butterflies.

they get into the car and yes, as soon as they start driving, jeongguk rests his hand on taehyung's thigh.

"he's in his room.", jimins mother tells taehyung after hugging him and telling him how good he looks.

meanwhile jeongguk returns to taehyung's and namjoon's house. he will pick him up as soon as taehyung sends him a message.

taehyung goes upstairs to jimin's room and knocks on his door.

"mom, i already told you i don't want to eat- tae?"

"chim!", taehyung says excitedly and jumps on his bed to hug him tightly. jimin hugs him back, surprised that taehyung after a few seconds still doesn't let go of him and literally started cuddling him right there.

"what's wrong?", jimin asks softly, rubbing taehyung's back.

"nothing, i just missed you.", he replies and jimin smiles at that.

"are you feeling better?", taehyung asks him as he finally lets go of him. he looks at jimin and sees that he's very pale.

"oh, you don't look like it.", taehyung notices but jimin disagrees.

"i'm feeling better actually. i'm not feeling sick right now, i just don't want to eat. i'm scared to throw up again."

"did you not eat anything?", taehyung asks worriedly and jimin shakes his head.

"my mom made soup for me, maybe i'll eat later. weren't you with jeongguk?"

"yeah, he and the others are with joon. he dropped me here and will pick me up later."

"things getting serious i see.", jimin says with a grin and taehyung starts smiling widely.

"kind of. but what's with you and yoongi?"

"actually.. he wants to take me out as soon as i'm feeling better. and he wants to visit me here tomorrow."

"really?", taehyung asks excitedly, with big eyes.

"yeah.", jimin giggles and then covers himself with the blanket properly since he started feeling cold again.

"chim, he's so amazing... but... he doesn't trust me."

"what do you mean?"

"you know that he got beaten up twice? he still didn't tell me anything about it and i don't think he will to be honest."

"tae, don't worry about that, he'll tell you when the time comes."

"maybe, but.. it's not just that chim. it's... i don't know. all the time i feel like he's hiding something from me you know? this feeling just won't go away."

"give it some more time tae. not everyone opens up fast, i'm sure you also didn't open up completely."

"yeah.", taehyung agrees. "you're right."

"we should go on a double date!", taehyung suddenly has an idea. "or on a triple date with jin and namjoon. but... hoseokie.. we need to find someone for him."

"yeah.", jimin giggles.

"he's so sweet, anyone should be lucky to have him as his boyfriend.", jimin says. "do you know if he's gay?"

"i guess. we're all gay.", taehyung says and jimin just giggles again. "yeah."

"let's go downstairs. i'm forcing you to drink soup now.", taehyung says and stands up quickly, grabbing jimin's hand. jimin just rolls his eyes.
