Intoxicating [VMinkook]

Forty Three

"Wait so Romeo just dies? When Juliet wakes up?"

"For the fifth time, YES!"

"What type of fucked up love story is this?"

"I don't know ask Shakespeare what he was into!"

Jeongguk snaps his eyes up his biology homework to Jimin and Taehyung bickering with the Romeo and Juliet play book in hand, Jimin reading while Taehyung helps him study for it.

It's quite odd seeing Taehyung so serious and strict when it comes to homework, especially Literature.

Maybe he's just having a bad day, and Jimin isn't exactly making this any easier either.

"And then she wakes up and kills herself! I'm done, this is stupid!" Jimin closes the play and throws it on the table, making Taehyung sigh heavily while digging his fingers through his blonde hair with eyes shut for a moment.

Jeongguk glances at the two and types on his phone on the voice audio.

"Are you guys done with your studying?"

"No," Jimin whines, slamming his forehead against the table, "I can't focus."

Well ain't that relatable.

Jeongguk has been staring at the biology text book for the past hour, not grasping anything of the context besides the fact that plants have a ribosome.

All he can think about is that library moment with Woosung, and his heart would just squeeze or drop or whatever hearts do when it's convulsing.

He just doesn't know what to do.

Taehyung stares intently at the table with heavy eyes, blinking a few times with a soft smile going to Jimin, "What's wrong Jimin?"

All eyes falls to Jimin as he slowly raises his head up, staring at the table as though he was contemplated on saying anything. More so if the table was going to give him all the answers that he desires answers for.

He didn't want to.

But keeping this inside isn't exactly helping to say the least.

Taehyung and Jeongguk are truth worth enough..... I guess.

So Taehyung rubs his back, comfortingly, "Come on, you can tell us. Sometimes it's nice to talk things out."

Going to war in his head after a while Jimin hesitantly rubs his face with his hands, "I...... So.... There's this guy..... And I'm growing very confused-"

"OMG YOUR GAY!"

Their heads snapped up to Taehyung, who suddenly blurted this out with wide eyes. The sparkle behind his eyes dims and he clears his throat with a sheepish smile, "Sorry, continue."

Jeongguk stares at him for a moment or too long before focusing on Jimin, who grunts in frustration, "I don't know.... He confuses me! It's like he's just...... If I'm honest he's the only one that attracts me. I don't know, am I gay? I don't even know!"

Yeah clearly he's going through a tough time.

Poor baby.

"I mean there's nothing wrong with it," Taehyung says calmly, his small smile still there, "I've been with Minho for five years. We do have our moments where we would get a bit bashed from other people, but we took care of it together."

Jimin by now has his fingers threaded through his hair in aggravation, "That's the thing, I don't know if I want to be with him! I mean we kissed at his dorm before we got here-"

"NO FUCKING WAY YOU SLUT! THE TEA IS BOILING SIS!"

Taehyung slams a hand to his mouth, standing to his feet and walks away.

"I'll be back."

What the fuck just happened?

Jeongguk and Jimin only watches the door Taehyung disappeared off to and looks at each other. Well this isn't exactly bizarre since Taehyung does have a...... Rather blazing personality, so it wasn't really a bother for the two friends.

Jeongguk only offers the other a timid smile when their eyes met and gets on his phone to type.

"I know what you're feeling. Kinda going through the same thing."

Jimin eyes widen, nearly sky rocketing as he looks at Jeongguk, who hesitantly gulps thickly and sighs before beginning to type again, "You know Woosung and Ten?"

Jimin nods.

"Well....... We were close to having a threesome the night we disappeared at the club."

If Jimin were to be drinking water right now, he would have spat it out by now. Instead he chokes on his breath, nearly being a coughing mess with cheeks completely flustered now.

Yeah he clearly didn't expect this.

"You?" Jimin chokes, completely shocked, "What the fuck? Is that why you were freaking out through text the other day?"

Jeongguk slowly nods, typing once again, "I don't know how to feel, what is right or wrong by this point, just like how you are feeling," But then he smiles, extending his hand out to him, "But we can figure it out together? Yeah?"

For a moment Jimin only looks between Jeongguk's eyes and his hand, ever so gently smiling before placing his hand over Jeongguk's and gripping it tightly.

"It was Taemin who I was talking about."

This time it was Jeongguk's lips who gawked open, shocked completely but wasn't able to react to his full extent because Taehyung came back into the room much more composed.

He sits down on the chair and looks at their hands, pausing, "Is this some type of engagement shit or something?"

Instantly the two jerk their hands back, now a bit more awkward, but then Jeongguk clears his throat and looks at him while typing, "Comforting more to say. Guess we all are going through some confusing emotions."

Taehyung hums, unlike last time, and puts on his glasses that was set out on the table, "Feelings come and go, you know? Sometimes it's hard or it doesn't make sense in the moment, but I can guarantee you that it will eventually. Don't rush it, let time come and go naturally."

The two stare at the sudden philosophical man, who raised his gaze from the book to look at them and his eyebrow raised, "What?"

Jimin shakes his head, twitching a smile, "I didn't think you would have that side of you."

Taehyung rolls his eyes to the compliment, closing the book and learning back, "There's still a lot to learn about me, tiny."

A small giggle bubbles out of Jeongguk's lips while Jimin shoves Taehyung back, who only perks a small smile at the other male to how he's blushing in annoyance .

For once the three not feeling the weight of the world all too heavy, or too different after all.
