It's been a week since my argument with Jin. The thing is, the both of us are very stubborn. Neither of us like being the first one to apologize even if one of us is in the wrong.

"Okay what's wrong?"

I look up to see Yoongi and Taehyung watching me.

"Huh?"

"You've been sighing nonstop for the last 5 minutes." Yoongi pops another piece of popcorn into his mouth as he talks.

"Have I? Ah.. sorry." I smile sheepishly and adjust my sitting position, uncomfortable where I sit on the ground. Yoongi and Taehyung sit above me on the couch as we were starting to watch Train to Busan. Nothing interesting has happened yet so I've been zoning out.

"Come sit here." I look up at the sound of Taehyung's voice. I get chills when I see him gazing down at me. He speaks again but I don't process the words, only the smooth sound of his voice.

God, if chocolate had a voice..

"Minseo?"

"Huh?" I blink and shake off my thoughts. He furrows his eyebrows.

"You're uncomfortable, take my spot." He offers. I instantly shake my head.

"N-no it's fine. I like the floor." I push his legs back down as he tries to stand. He purses his lips.

"Just leave her be Taehyung. She's stubborn." Yoongi glances over at us. I smile thankfully at Taehyung before turning to the movie again.

I squeal when two arms reach around my waist and hoist me up. I stare in alarm at Taehyung as he looks forward at the screen unfazed.

"I- Taehyung no its ok- ack" I squeak in surprise when he holds me securely in his lap. I struggle again, my elbow brushing by.. something.

He groans quietly and stares at me sternly. I gulp.

Lord take me now.

"Don't fight against it. This is more comfortable than the floor anyways." He looks away again to watch the movie. I awkwardly lay in his lap, too intimidated to move again.

Since when did my life decide to be a romance, sci-fi movie?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I cover my mouth with my hands as I continue to sob. Yoongi glances at me with an amused expression while Taehyung awkwardly holds me in his lap.

"Aish, you really haven't been one to cry.. how come this gets you upset..?" Yoongi sighs to himself, continuing to watch the movie.

I whine and turn my body towards Taehyung, wrapping my arms around his neck and crying into his chest. I feel his muscles tense, his arms hesitantly wrapping around my smaller figure.

(I watched 'Train to Busan' a week ago and I cried so freaking much. I highly recommend it. I love the movie🥺)

At the moment, I feel comfortable with Taehyung. If I think about it, he's the only one who has seen this vulnerable side of me. I'm always closed off when it comes to sensitive emotions. I don't want them to be used against me.

I feel his breath brush against my neck as he lifts me and places my head on his shoulder.

"I'm going to go to the bathroom quickly. I'll be right back." Yoongi states and pauses the movie.

At first I was crying because of the movie but now all my problems start to overwhelm me. I bury my face in his neck. Soon I realize what I'm doing and pull myself away.

"I-I'm sorr-" I'm cut off when he pulls me back towards him.

"Use me.. I'm here because of you.. so all I can do is be here for you." He whispers against my ear, causing butterflies to erupt in my stomach.

Why do I feel as if I already have such a connection with him..?

Yoongi suddenly appears again and resumes the movie.

A few minutes later I find myself drifting in and out of sleep. I'm laying with my back against Taehyung's chest as he hugs me.

I've never had anyone hold me like this since Jungkook... It's nice.

"Ah, I have to be at the studio in 20.. I forgot." I hear Yoongi suddenly sigh. "I have to go, but let's have another movie night like this again! Bye Minseo.." I feel his hand pat my head. "Bye.. Taehyung."

I catch a glance of them shaking hands. Once Yoongi leaves the apartment, it's just Taehyung and I alone with the credits rolling on the screen.

"Are you tired..?" His deep voice sounds in my ear, vibrations against my back as I hum in response. I feel him start to get up causing me to whine in protest.

"I don't want to move..." I act childish when I'm tired. I hear him chuckle.

"Alrighty then.."

Next thing I know, we are both lying on the couch comfortably together. His hands rest on my waist and back, hugging me to his chest. I begin drifting into a deep sleep.

"I'm always here if you need me.."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning...

"Ow!" I yelp as something hits my butt. I eyes snap open to see Taehyung looking at me with an equally shocked expression. I narrow my eyes and sit up. "Did you j-"

"YAH!! Explain this!!" A voice screeches causing me to jump in surprise.

Jin stands there with a plastic hanger and a face of disapproval.

Oh.. Taehyung didn't.. ahem. Though that would've been..

I shake my head clear of my thoughts in fear of one of them being able to read my mind.

"Yah! Are you listening to me?" Jin shrieks again. "Why are you sleeping on the couch all cuddled up with a man you barely even know! On top of that, I thought you told me he likes Jimin!!"

As I open my mouth to apologize, I remember the grudge between my brother and I.

"Why are you yelling at me like you control my life?! I can sleep with whoever the hell I want to!" Jin freezes at that comment and Taehyung reaches out to calm me but I smack his hand away. "What is with you suddenly barging in here and hitting me because you don't like what you see? Did you just suddenly forget that I'm mad at you? That I'm disappointed in you that you didn't tell me you aren't legally my brother anymore? And yet you have the audacity to complain that I'm the one doing wrong by sleeping on a couch with a guy!"

Jin goes silent as Taehyung visibly gulps, still laying on the couch, flustered by me straddling his waist as I yell at my brother.

"Minseo.. I'm sorry." I blink in shock. "I should've told you. But I know you would've caused a scene with father.. and you already have a bad relationship with him that I didn't want to get worse. I thought maybe you could patch up your relationship with him. He's our father for crying out loud. But I guess keeping it from you just ended with you hearing it from the wrong person.. I'm really sorry Minseo. Forgive your oppa.." Jin bows to be in guilt. I sit there in shock, not used to hearing my brother be honest like this that often. I purse my lips.

"Fine. I forgive you." He looks up happily with his charming smile. "But.." That smile falters.

"You have to do me a big favor first."
