third person's pov

"this tastes so good," jimin says as he slurps up the yellow colored noodles, "why are you moaning? is someone sucking your dick from under the table?" jungkook asks in a teasing manner.

"oh, jungkookie. are you perhaps aroused by the sound of jimin's moans?" taehyung smirks.

"let's keep this kid-friendly," seokjin claps, making taehyung stop from continuing his words.

"i miss college, how's it like?" seokjin cocks his head to the side and smiles.

"oh! there are lots of parties being hosted by the seniors and there are lots of free blowjobs given by hot guys and girls," the three whistles except for seokjin.

"i see," seokjin says, a bit uncomfortable from what they've said, "i never got to experience those, i'm glad you guys are having fun."

"don't tell me," taehyung chokes, "you're party and drug free? sex free? a virgin?"

jimin slaps his friend on the back, "you're making him uncomfortable, stop it."

taehyung's ears turn red, "i'm sorry."

"it's okay," seokjin says, smiling reassuringly at the younger, "and yes, i am."

"i guess you studied more hyung," jimin smiles, "choosing to live with your nose in textbooks rather than partying."

seokjin nods, "yeah. it was a pretty peaceful life for me, i didn't really like parties."

"you sound like you're 10 years older than us," jimin giggles as he takes jungkook's bottle of water.

"that's mine," jungkook scrunches his nose, "go and buy one yourself."

"i'm too lazy," jimin whines, taking a sip of it afterwards, "i'll pay for your bottle of water tomorrow."

taehyung and seokjin throw a knowing glance at each other as the two males with them continue to bicker. taehyung gives him a small thumbs up as he opens his mouth, trying to make their little plan look natural so that their friends won't notice their intentions.

"but if you were invited personally, will you come?" taehyung asks, patiently waiting for the older to answer as he taps his finger on the table.

"well, as long as it isn't an extreme kind of party, then i would," seokjin says, finishing his cup noodles and throwing the container in a nearby bin, "done! i'll be going home now."

"take care hyung!" jungkook says, waving his hand, "stay safe!"

"wait for me, i'll come with you!" taehyung shouts and quickly finishes his cup noodles. he throws it in a bin and runs out of the shop, waving a quick goodbye to his friends by the huge glass window as he catches up to seokjin.

"why didn't you wait for me?" taehyung pouts, putting an arm around seokjin's shoulders.

seokjin shrugs, "you were going to catch up to me anyway."

they stay quiet for a few minutes as taehyung guides the older who was looking at the stars in the night sky, "i'm sorry for making you uncomfortable earlier."

"it's alright," seokjin replies, still invested in looking at the stars, "do you think the amount of stars and sand grains are the same?"

"i'm not sure about that," taehyung says, glancing at the night sky above them, "maybe."

"yeah, maybe."

"thanks for accompanying me," seokjin says, turning to look at taehyung with a small smile plastered on his face, "i'll see you tomorrow?"

"you're forgetting something," taehyung says, almost stuttering.

seokjin raises an eyebrow and suddenly remembers taehyung's hoodie, "wait here, i'll be right back."

taehyung blinks as seokjin runs inside the building, confused at the older's actions. he huffs, shivering a bit from the cold as he closes his eyes and flutters them open when he hears light footsteps approach him.

"here, i wasn't able to give it back," seokjin rubs his nape, "thank you for letting me borrow it."

taehyung shakes his head, "you can keep it, we'll be a couple soon anyway."

seokjin scoffs, slapping the younger on the arm, "you're confidence is jarring. take it."

taehyung chuckles and takes the hoodie from seokjin's hands, "thank you for taking care of it."

seokjin nods and turns on his heel, "good night tae!"

taehyung blushes as he quickly grabs seokjin's arm, making the older turn around and have taehyung's lips on his. seokjin's heart drops from the surprise while the other male pulls away.

"that wasn't supposed to happen," taehyung's cheeks turn red, "oh god."

seokjin blinks, a light blush creeping on his cheeks, "uh, good night seokjin! i'll see you tomorrow."

taehyung waves a flustered good bye to the older, quickly walking away as he tightly hugs his hoodie. seokjin, on the other hand, watches taehyung's retreating form for a few seconds before he goes back inside the building.

'did we just kiss?' seokjin asks to himself as he brushes a finger on his bottom lip.
