The next morning, Jeongkuk woke up to see that Jimin wasn’t in bed. He shrugged it off and laid back onto the bed, “Ugh I’m so tired. What time is it?” Jeongkuk checked the clock to see that it was already noon, he sat up quickly, “Why didn’t anyone wake me up? God now my whole day is half over.” Jeongkuk slumped back down again. He eventually rolled off the bed and headed to the kitchen. The apartment was uncomfortably quiet, “Why is it so quiet? Where is everyone?” Jeongkuk was roaming around, trying to find his hyungs. He found a note by the door, Went out for lunch. Didn’t want to wake you up. We’ll bring your favorites. Love Namjoon.  “Oh great, they left me for food. Typical.” Jeongkuk went into the living room and watched some TV. He was annoyed that his hyungs would leave him, the youngest, for food. “Did they leave you behind too?” a familiar voice said out of nowhere. Jeongkuk sat up quickly and turned his attention to where the voice had come from. He turned around to see TaeHyung standing there brushing his teeth, Jeongkuk sighed in relief, “Hyung you scared me to death.” Jeongkuk leaned back onto the couch again and continued to watch TV. A short while after, TaeHyung came and joined him, “So did you over sleep too hyung?” TaeHyung shook his head, “No, Jin hyung insisted that I stay home and watch over you.” Of course Jin hyung would do that, Jeongkuk thought to himself. They continued to watch TV in silence when TaeHyung yawned, “Jeongkuk ah, I’m bored.” “What do you want me to do about it?” Jeongkuk replied lazily. “I don’t know. Hey do you want to go out?” TaeHyung asked, his face lighting up. Jeongkuk slowly moved his eyes over to TaeHyung, “Out? Where?” He asked, a little concerned about where his hyung would take him. “Oh nowhere special, just somewhere for lunch.” TaeHyung replied. Jeongkuk looked at his hyung again, the voice in his head was telling him to say yes, “Nah, everyone’s going to be back soon and they said they were going to bring us lunch.” Jeongkuk said, mentally slapping himself. He turned his attention back to the TV, trying to hide his face of regret from TaeHyung. Beep Beep, TaeHyung checked his phone, “Uh I think you’re wrong maknae.” TaeHyung gave the phone to Jeongkuk. He took and read the text, Jimin and Hoseok wanted to go shopping, might be home a little later. Oh and P.S. we ate your foods, heh sorry. Love, Namjoon. Jeongkuk rolled his eyes and gave the phone back to TaeHyung. Of course he thought. His stomach growled loudly and TaeHyung grinned, “Let’s go!” He grabbed Jeongkuk by the hands and helped him up. Jeongkuk looked down at his hands to see TaeHyung’s hands wrapped tightly around his. He blushed bright red and looked back up at his hyung. TaeHyung was giving Jeongkuk a goofy smile, “I’ll go get ready hyung.” Jeongkuk said before rushing off to his room with his head hung low.

“So where do you want to go eat Jeongkuk?” TaeHyung asked as they were walking down the street. Jeongkuk shrugged, “Anywhere.” TaeHyung chuckled and put an arm around Jeongkuk’s shoulder, pulling the maknae closer to him, “Ok, anywhere it is.” Jeongkuk’s breath hitched and he was blushing again. He hung his head low and looked at his hyung’s arm over his shoulder, a faint smile crept on his face.

They were walking around the neighborhood when Jeongkuk stopped, “Hyung I smell ddubokki.” TaeHyung stopped too, “Me too.” Jeongkuk looked at his hyung and smiled, TaeHyung returned him a smile, “Let’s go get some.” They both went to the ddubokki stand and ordered one big plate to share. They sat down to eat when a starving Jeongkuk eagerly ate a piece of ddubokki, “Ow, hot!” Jeongkuk said with a mouth full of ddubokki. TaeHyung chuckled, “Be careful.” He said while handing Jeongkuk some water, “Thanks hyung.” Jeongkuk replied before chugging the water. TaeHyung smiled and blew on a piece of ddubokki, “Here.” He brought the ddubokki to Jeongkuk’s mouth, trying to feed his careless maknae, “I don’t want you to burn yourself again.” Jeongkuk gave a small smile and ate the ddubokki, “Hyung try some, it’s so good!” Jeongkuk said with a mouth full of ddubokki, again. This boy has no manners does he? “Feed me!” TaeHyung said in his most aegyo voice, Jeongkuk nearly choked on his food. He always liked it when TaeHyung did his aegyo, it was irresistible to him. “Jeongkuk ah, I’m hungry. Hurry up.” TaeHyung sang in a sing song voice. Jeongkuk’s face was getting warm and he smiled, he always saw these things in dramas but he never knew that he would ever do this with someone, especially TaeHyung. Jeongkuk picked up a piece ddubokki and blew on it to cool it down. Jeongkuk fed his hyung who ate it happily, “Mmm, so yummy!” His hyung sang. Jeongkuk chuckled weakly, “Ok hyung, enough with the aegyo.” TaeHyung chuckled and picked up another piece of ddubokki to feed to Jeongkuk. They kept feeding each other back and forth until they were satisfied. “I’m so full.” Jeongkuk said while leaning back against the chair, “Thanks for lunch hyung.” TaeHyung smiled, “Anytime Jeongkuk. Anything to spend more time with you.” Jeongkuk nearly fell backwards, Did hyung just say that he liked spending time with me? Jeongkuk thought to himself. Jeongkuk chuckled awkwardly and took a sip of water. He was starting to get nervous. His hands were sweaty and he could feel his face getting warmer. He looked back at his hyung, TaeHyung just sat there looking through his phone, “Namjoon hyung said that they’ll be home in 30 minutes. I guess we better get going soon.” He looked up at Jeongkuk, who just nodded. TaeHyung looked intensely at Jeongkuk, “Hey Jeongkuk, you have some sauce on your face.” Jeongkuk touched his face, “Where? Here?” he asked, trying to find the stain. “Hm no, not there. Here let me get it.” TaeHyung reached over and wiped the sauce off of Jeongkuk’s face with his thumb. Jeongkuk froze, his face getting red again, “I- I- I have to go to the bathroom.” He quickly got up and rushed over to the bathroom. He locked the door and turned the sink on. He splashed some cold water onto his face, but it was still red. He leaned against the cool linoleum wall, “Keep it together Jeongkuk.” He sighed and closed his eyes, trying his best to relax and cool his face. About 5 minutes later, Jeongkuk exited the bathroom, “Ready to go?” TaeHyung asked and Jeongkuk nodded. TaeHyung put his arm around Jeongkuk’s shoulder again and they headed for home.

They were less than half way home when TaeHyung spotted an ice cream shop, “Hey, do you want to get some ice cream?” He asked Jeongkuk. “Yeah.” TaeHyung was giddy and they both skipped over to the ice cream shop. “Hm, what flavor are you going to get hyung?” Jeongkuk asked, while deciding on what flavor to get. “Hm, well I know that you like vanilla, so I’m not going to get that,” Jeongkuk quickly looked over at his hyung, how did he know that, he thought to himself, “So I think I’ll get strawberry because I know that it is your second favorite, so we can share.” TaeHyung said before going over to the cashier to order. Jeongkuk just stood there and looked at his hyung, “How did he know that? I thought only Jimin knew.” Jeongkuk said to himself quietly. TaeHyung came over and handed Jeongkuk a cup of vanilla ice cream, “I also remembered that you don’t like cones.” He said while taking a of his strawberry ice cream cone. Jeongkuk was utterly shocked, “Hyung, how do you remember this?” Jeongkuk asked. TaeHyung smiled at him, “I remember a lot of things.” He replied before giving some of his ice cream to Jeongkuk, Jeongkuk shook his head, “Aw come on please?” TaeHyung begged with his puppy eyes. Jeongkuk just glared back him, trying his best to intimidate his hyung. TaeHyung chuckled before putting some ice cream on Jeongkuk’s nose, “Hyung!” Jeongkuk yelled, the instant cold catching him off guard. TaeHyung started cracking up, Jeongkuk just stood there and glared at his hyung, the ice cream still on his nose. “I’m sorry maknae, I couldn’t resist.” TaeHyung swiftly the ice cream off of Jeongkuk’s nose, “Hyung! That’s gross!” Jeongkuk yelled, slapping his hyung’s arm. TaeHyung started cracking up again. Jeongkuk was glaring at him again but on the inside he was jumping and cheering. Jeongkuk decided to walk ahead, leaving his hyung, who was laughing all by himself. Jeongkuk needed to get away, he could feel his cheeks getting red again. “Hey wait up!” TaeHyung yelled from behind. He caught up with Jeongkuk, whose face finally subsided to a slight pink, “Hey you left me all by myself. I looked like an idiot.” TaeHyung complained. “You are an idiot hyung.” Jeongkuk joked, giving his hyung a huge grin. TaeHyung smiled and ruffled Jeongkuk’s hair before putting his arm around Jeongkuk again. Jeongkuk got use to his hyung putting his arm around him, now he can enjoy the moment. They got home and everyone was there, “Hey guys, oh what? Why didn’t you get us ice cream?” Hoseok greeted them. “Wow, hi to you too, Hoseok.” TaeHyung retorted, causing Hoseok to go quiet. “Hey guys.” Namjoon greeted. Jeongkuk and TaeHyung just glared at him, “What?” he asked, genuinely confused. Jeongkuk just shook his head and went into the kitchen. “Hey Jeongkuk, how was your day?” Jin asked who was preparing dinner. “Really hyung? You probably know how my day was.” Jeongkuk said coldly. “Oh my god, did you guys kiss or something?” Jin whispered, teasing the maknae. Jeongkuk shot him a look, Jin stopped with his teasing, “Sorry for asking.” He mumbled under his breath. Jeongkuk just rolled his eyes and left. He didn’t know why he was being so ungrateful towards Jin; I mean in fact, Jeongkuk had one of the best days of his life. Jeongkuk felt guilty and was going to apologize but when he went back to the kitchen, he could already tell that Jin was over it.

Jeongkuk went into his room and dressed into his pajamas. He then just sat on his bed, looking up at the ceiling, remembering all the things that happened today. He smiled to himself and closed his eyes. He heard the door open and he looked over to see it was TaeHyung, “Hey hyung, what’s up?” Jeongkuk asked, sitting up more properly. “I’m still kind of annoyed by everyone for ditching us. So I thought maybe I could hang out with you, again, because you’re the only one I’m not mad at right now.” TaeHyung said the last part in a warm voice. Jeongkuk smiled and motioned for his hyung to come and sit next to him. TaeHyung sat right next to Jeongkuk, like right next to him. If they moved, their arms would brush against each other. TaeHyung looked around Jeongkuk’s room, pursing his lips together and nodding slowly. “What’s wrong hyung?” Jeongkuk asked, concerned. “It’s just that, you’re room is really messy.” TaeHyung said, his eyes still roaming the room. Jeongkuk chuckled, “Yeah I should probably clean it.” Jeongkuk got up and started to pick up his dirty clothes. TaeHyung joined him and organized his desk and bookshelf. While they were picking up things off the floor, they would keep accidently reach for the same object, causing their hands to touch. Always being TaeHyung’s hand on top of Jeongkuk’s. Jeongkuk couldn’t help but blush and flash a shy smile when that happened. Eventually they cleaned his room and for once you could see the floor, “Now doesn’t that look better?” TaeHyung said, satisfied by their accomplishment. Jeongkuk nodded, “Now you better keep your room clean or else.” TaeHyung jokingly threatened his maknae. Jeongkuk couldn’t help but chuckle, “Or else what hyung?” TaeHyung went silent, “Actually, I don’t know,” He went into a deep thought, “Or else I’ll attack you… with tickles!” TaeHyung shouted, tickling Jeongkuk’s sides. Jeongkuk started laughing hysterically, “Ok hyung, I get it!” he yelled. TaeHyung stopped tickling, giggling to himself. Jeongkuk gave TaeHyung a devilish smirk and knocked a book onto the floor, “Oops, it’s messy.” Jeongkuk teased. He didn’t know where this flirtatious side of him came from, but he was going along with it. TaeHyung gasped sarcastically, “Jeongkuk, you do know what this means, right?” Jeongkuk grinned and ran for his bed and hide under the covers. TaeHyung chased him and sat on top of him, pulling the blanket away from Jeongkuk. Jeongkuk was lying on his back with TaeHyung straddling his waist. He started to tickle Jeongkuk’s sides again and Jeongkuk went into a fit of hysterical laughter, “Ok hyung I’m sorry. Please stop.” Jeongkuk begged. “No. You get double the punishment because you ran away from me.” TaeHyung replied cynically. “Hey guys din-.” Jimin opened Jeongkuk’s door to see TaeHyung on top of Jeongkuk. Oh what a scene to behold. Jimin tensed up and gritted his teeth. He cleared his throat conspicuously; TaeHyung stopped tickling and looked back. Jeongkuk lifted his head to look at his door.  “Uhm, yeah, so dinner is ready.” Jimin said in a monotone voice before closing the door again and leaving. TaeHyung got up from Jeongkuk and grabbed Jeongkuk’s hand, helping him up onto his feet. They were breathing heavily and smiling at each other, “God that must have been embarrassing for Jimin.” TaeHyung said while opening the door. “I hope he didn’t get the wrong idea.” Jeongkuk said.

They joined everyone for dinner. “So how was your day hyung?” Jeongkuk asked Namjoon. “Oh it was alright. All we did was eat lunch and shop. Oh and that reminds me, Jimin and Jin got you and TaeHyung some stuff.” Namjoon said, pointing over at Jimin and Jin. “Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that. We’ll give it to you guys after dinner.” Jin said with a warm smile. TaeHyung and Jeongkuk looked at each other, they were both really giddy. They started to eat their dinner quickly so that they could get their things. “Don’t eat so fast or else you’ll choke.” Suga warned. Cough. Jeongkuk gagged on his rice, “See what I told you.” Suga said coolly, handing Jeongkuk a glass of water. Jeongkuk chugged it down, “Thanks hyung, I thought I was going to die there.” Jeongkuk said, deciding to each more slowly now. Everyone laughed at Jeongkuk’s comment, “You’re too cute maknae.” Namjoon said. Jeongkuk giggled and looked over at Jimin, who was sitting there with a stern face, “So what did you get me hyung?” Jimin snapped out of his dazed and smiled warmly at Jeongkuk, “It’s a surprise.” Jimin pinched Jeongkuk’s cheek. Jeongkuk pouted and looked at Jimin with his puppy eyes, “Please hyung.” Jeongkuk begged. Jimin put his hand over Jeongkuk’s face, “Alright I’ll give it to you, just stop with that face, it’s too cute.” Jimin said, causing everyone to laugh. Jeongkuk started jumping up and down in his seat. He looked over at TaeHyung, who smiled at Jeongkuk and motioned him to go follow Jimin. Jeongkuk followed Jimin to his room, “I’m so excited hyung!” Jeongkuk exclaimed. Jimin smirked to himself, “Well here it is.” Jimin gave Jeongkuk a box and immediately Jeongkuk opened it. Inside was a pair of high tops, they were in Jeongkuk’s favorite colors. He examined the shoe closely and saw that on the bottom had his name inscribed and on the back heel it said BTS. Jeongkuk stared at the shoe’s in awe, “Hyung, thank you, thank you so much!” Jeongkuk exclaimed, engulfing his hyung in a tight hug. Jimin smiled, patting the maknae on the back, “You’re welcome.” Jeongkuk looked at his shoes again, “Hyung these look really expensive. Why would you buy me something so expensive?” Jeongkuk asked, tears forming in his eyes from all the excitement. “Well, I knew that your birthday is coming up soon and we have a show that day also. So I thought I would get something you could wear on stage.” Jimin said shyly while rubbing the back of his neck. Jeongkuk smiled and gave Jimin another hug, “Thank you hyung. I will cherish these forever.” Jimin smiled softly to himself, hugging the younger boy. Jeongkuk put the shoes back in the box, “I’m going to go put these in my room.” Jimin nodded and followed Jeongkuk to his room. Jeongkuk was putting his shoes away and Jimin was sitting on his bed, “So what were you and TaeHyung doing earlier?” Jimin asked bitterly. “Oh nothing much, we went to go have ddubokki and ice cream.” Jeongkuk said while trying to find the perfect place to put his shoes. “No not that earlier, I mean earlier when I called you guys for dinner.” Jimin was starting to get a little flustered. “Oh that! It was nothing.” Jeongkuk said coolly. “Are you sure it was nothing?” Jimin pursued. “Yeah, well I mean it wasn’t nothing, he was just tickling me.” Jeongkuk replied, joining his hyung on his bed. “Oh I see.” Jimin said, unsure as to how to reply. Jimin got up and was ready to leave, “Hey hyung,” Jimin turned around, “Do you want to watch a movie with me tonight?” Jeongkuk asked, giving Jimin a sincere smile. “Yeah, sure. I’ll go ask the others if they want to watch too.” Jimin said, putting his hand on the door knob. “No!” Jeongkuk exclaimed, “I want it to be just you and me. I feel we don’t get to hang out as much anymore.” Jimin froze but then slowly relaxed, a huge smile crept on his face. He turned around and jumped onto Jeongkuk’s bed. “Alright! What movie do you want to watch?” Jimin asked, his mood instantly lighting up. “You choose hyung.” Jeongkuk said while lying down on his bed, Jimin laid next to him. Both were looking up at the ceiling, Jeongkuk waving his arms out inform of him and Jimin copying him, “Hm… I don’t know, how about a scary movie?” Jimin suggested. Jeongkuk put his arms down and looked at Jimin, “No. I won’t be able to go to sleep tonight.” Jeongkuk retorted, Jimin chuckled and pinched Jeongkuk’s cheeks, “Ok, how about comedy?” Jeongkuk nodded his head in agreement, “Ok now that’s better.” Jeongkuk said, raising his arms in front of him again, and Jimin playing with Jeongkuk’s fingers.
