"The food is so good." I smiled, crossing my legs as Hoseok and I continued to talk. "Everything is set to perfection as well. And if you can afford it, the views from the buildings are breathtaking."

"Have you seen these views yourself?" Hoseok asked, a smile on his face.

"No, I could never afford it." I looked down. "But I've heard it from others."

"Well, maybe you can see it one day." Hoseok replied gently, causing me to look up.

"I-"

"Hey Clauds," Taehyung walked in, cutting me off. "You ready to go?"

"Go where?"

"I'm taking you back to your place."

"Thank you guys for everything." I waved, the window down so I could say my final goodbyes.

"Text me when you get home!" Hoseok called out as Taehyung put the car in drive.

"I will!" I smiled, sticking my arm out the window so I could wave them all goodbye. I sighed with a sad smile and faced forward again. "Good times." I whispered, pulling the sleeves of Jungkook's sweatshirt over my hands.

- 3rd Person's Point Of View -

Taehyung saw her pull his boyfriend's sweatshirt over her hands, smiling softly to herself. He smiled, thinking back to what he and Jungkook had previously talked about.

He could see why he fell for her.

"Jungkookie really likes you, you know." Taehyung hoped she would get what he was getting at, glancing over to see her reaction.

"R-really?"

'Woah. This was better news than Jungkook telling me he set my name in his phone as 'Miss Moviestar'.' Claudette thought to herself, eyes widening for a few moments before having to remind herself to relax.

"Yeah, he likes you, like a lot." Taehyung tried again, but Claudette wasn't getting what he was hinting at. Based on what he's gathered from her these last couple of days, Jungkook would probably have to kiss her for her to realize his feelings.

And that was okay with Taehyung.

The two of them have a very open and communicating relationship. As long as both sides knew that at the end of the day, they belonged to each other, then it was okay.

And hey, now that Taehyung was alone with her, he couldn't help but feel the need to protect her as well.

He watched from the corner of his eye as she smiled and crossed her legs, hugging herself. Those small little movements made him smile and let his heart relax.

Yes, Kim Taehyung doesn't fall in love as quickly as Jeon Jungkook, but time moves fast, faster than you know it. It'll be soon, and the two of them will grow impatient and confident.

Besides, both Jungkook and Taehyung always wanted to try a poly relationship.

- Claudette's Point Of View -

"Hey Tae?"

"Tae?" Taehyung smiled and looked over at me.

"I-I mean Taehyung-"

"No no, I'm just joking. You can call me whatever you want, Clauds." He chuckled. "I mean, all of us boys had assigned ourselves specific nicknames to call you so we all don't have the same one."

"You-" I blinked several times. "I know Jimin calls me 'Ettie.'"

"Yeah, that one is probably the cutest." Taehyung chuckled, taking a turn. "That and Hoseok's, 'Claudie.'"
