What Is Love? || KTH x BTS

▶ 13 ◀

Taehyung slightly cleared his throat, lifting up his chopsticks and playing with the food. He shifted on his feet, fully aware of the tension that arises the room when Bogum have entered. It's as if they are clashing with one another, even if they don't really intend to.

"So," The tension quickly releases as soon Taehyung have spoke, his deep voice breaking the silence between them. "This is Bogum," He gestured towards the black-haired male that sat beside him, "He's the one I talked to before." He smiled, hopefully getting the hint to start talking to one another to avoid the awkward silence filling them.

On the other hand, Baekhyun and Taehyung's mother watched the entertaining exchange between them. They, most likely, will not step in any time soon as they feel like as if they're watching a drama from all the glares and hatred looks shot between Bogum and the 6 men.

"Hi. Bogum." Namjoon gritted out the words, forcefully trying to remain calm but it ended up sounding furious. Jin elbowed him, giving him a glare to that says 'say it right.' or something along those lines. Namjoon rolled his eyes then turned at smiling male, "Hi, nice meeting you." He purposely made it short and formal to avoid talking to Bogum any further.

"He's not exactly a great liar, isn't he?" Baekhyun leaned towards Taehyung's ear to whisper that. Taehyung groaned in annoyance, closely losing himself even more.

"Hyung. Shut up." Baekhyun only snickered at that before getting himself pushed away by a pouting Taehyung, and also crossed his arms like a 5 years old. Jin watched their interaction while the others remain their eyes on the intruding male.

"Hello!" Yoongi flinched at the overly bright tone that Bogum uses, "Namjoon, right?" The leader stiffly nodded, he isn't very fond of answering but with Taehyung keeping an eye on them, he couldn't help but be forced to communicate with him. 

"Taehyung told me a lot about you." Taehyung flushed red at the sudden attention that he got from the 6 men. He gave Bogum a slight push and glared at him. "He told me of how nice all of you are." There is something on his tone that they clearly despises. If only Taehyung isn't there, Jungkook would have landed a good punch on his face.

"I see. Taehyung also told us how wonderful you are." Hoseok grinned, a murderous glint in his eyes which didn't go unnoticed by Taehyung. The boy sighed, feeling even more stressed as ever. This isn't exactly how he imagined being with the both of them.

"How long will you be staying here?" Yoongi finally spoke up to add to the conversation. Taehyung shot him a glare at the rude question thrown towards Bogum, but the older didn't even spare a glance towards him. His eyes are attached on Bogum, a challenging stare down happening between them. It's as if they are having a war that the others aren't aware of.

The only person that have been quiet since earlier is Jimin. Taehyung couldn't exactly tell what is running on his mind, and he knew for sure that it has some murder in it. Although, he isn't very sure if Jimin is showing any signs of jealousy, or maybe he had and Taehyung just haven't been able to catch it.

One thing that Taehyung is sure of is that this breakfast will be added as 'the worst one I had yet'. It was as if they are waiting for Taehyung to stop acting nice and put them into their place. Luckily, there haven't been any physical fights between them yet. 

He knew as well that Bogum is provoking them to lose temper to displease Taehyung's mindset — which Taehyung could assure that there will be nothing that would stop him from liking them anyways — he could tell already from the way he would respond when Taehyung mentions them briefly. He knew that this is just a disaster, and he would be leaving with  either a crumpled heart or a satisfied smile.

"I'm glad both of you are having fun." He completely took his attention away from the 7 men to take a look at his eomma and hyung, who had been idly watching as if they're at a theater.

"So much fun." Baekhyun grinned which only made Taehyung roll his eyes. "Might keep an eye on them, it looks like they're really about to cut each other's throats out."

"Don't you think I know that already?" Taehyung pouted once again, pushing the chair away from the table and standing up from his seat then slammed his hands on the table.

All of them jumped back, startled by the loud bang that have been created by Taehyung. The boy, however, didn't look amuse when he have a smile on his face. It looks terrifying on Jimin's view, as if he is threatening them with just a simple smile.

"I think all of you can go now." Taehyung forced out a smile, pointing towards the door. "I want to do all of my chores today, peacefully."

"But we can help-"

"I want to help-"

Bogum and Jin spoke at the same time, they both turned to each other with another glares plastered on their faces. Taehyung's eyes twitched in annoyance at being a witness of their heated stare down.

"Peacefully." He gritted out, losing any patience in his blood. He isn't usually like this, but with having to deal with all of this, really stresses him out enough to lose his posture.

"I think Taebear would be handling the chores with Baekhyun." Taehyung's eomma finally stood up to speak, "Thank you for coming to breakfast." She smiled politely and waved goodbye once the 7 men have found their way outside.
