chapter 3

Jeongguk hasn't texted him.

It's been seven days of Taehyung freaking out over his phone notifying a new message or notification while vibrating against the sturdy surfaces of his home every so often. He even replied to some unknown numbers with hopes of it being the older male but, Jeongguk still hasn't texted him.

He should be glad because maybe the older guy was letting him off but obviously, Taehyung can't help but be even more cautious about it. Who knows what the older guy was planning? Unfortunately, not Kim fucking Taehyung.

The younger man just wants to know what Jeongguk wants with him and why said male won't stop teasing him about what happened last year. Fucking last year. A year had already passed, for fuck's sake. Are one night stands really supposed to be like this? If it is then Taehyung should have stuck with his decision and motto in his life to never ever get tempted to hook up with a stranger you don't trust enough.

His phone pings and Taehyung almost jumps at the sound of it resonating within his car.

"Someone texted you, I think. Do you want me to check who it is?" Eunhee's well-modulated and light voice surfaces on the quiet atmosphere, lightly distracting Taehyung from the sound coming from his phone.

A thud in Taehyung's chest. The young man doesn't know if it's the air conditioner that was on full blast that made him shudder but he supposes it's because of that and not because he thinks that Jeongguk has finally texted him.

He shakes his head. "Nah, it's probably just Jimin." Taehyung hopes to God that it's just Jimin because if Eunhee ends up seeing his phone, how the fuck would he explain.

"I guess they're waiting for you. Sorry for taking too long," Eunhee groans and Taehyung just laughs softly, fingers tapping on the wheel, while trying to calm his mind.

"You didn't take long, don't worry. No doubt that they're just overly excited," Taehyung says, his eyes focused on the road, blaring street lights and the other cars in front of him.

"Mhm, well I'm really excited about it too so I totally get them." The brunette beside Taehyung sighs.

"First college party. Ever since you set your feet on the university." Taehyung shakes his head with a small content smile on his face and Eunhee scoffs.

"Well, Kim Taehyung, I'm sorry to say that not everybody can be as friendly as you." The young woman says slowly, stressing each syllable before laughing at the farther end.

"I didn't say it was a bad thing," Taehyung shrugs, turning the wheel on the left.

His stomach feels queasy all of a sudden and just doesn't make any way for him to relax when he sees the familiar scenery and stoplights of the street leading to the apartment complex they were venturing to.

He grinds his teeth together. "Jeongguk-ssi knew you're coming right?"

Taehyung glances at his side when the stoplight turns red and he sees Eunhee smiling sheepishly at him to which he shakes his head at with a matching eyeroll.

"He doesn't but... It's fine. I'm in college now. Plus, it's not like he's strict. He's fine with me doing things and socializing and all that other stuff, you know? Clubbing is included in that." Eunhee replies.

"That's great to know. He seems like a great brother." Fucking lies.

"Step-brother." Eunhee corrects. "Although, I wish he was my real brother. I think he would even be a better brother or—wait, have you guys been talking or whatsoever?"

Taehyung does not nearly choke at that.

"What? What do you mean?" Taehyung's glad that his voice doesn't shake nor pitch higher than what his voice usually is because his whole fucking being was alert and on high defense.
