"Alright, spill it. What is wrong with you?"

  Jungkook frowned at the frozen screen and then realized that the movie had long stopped playing. It had not ended as it was just nearing the last ten or so minutes, where the highlight of the movie actually began, but he didn't understand why it had stopped. He turned his turned to his Hyung, Jimin, and opened his mouth, but the latter was looking at him suspiciously, so he closed it and raised an eyebrow.   "Did you say something?" he asked.   The orange haired male's lips formed a knowing smile, eyes narrowing even smaller than they already were.   "Even if I did would you even want to listen?" he asked in the sing-songy voice.   The younger was confused. "It depends; as long as it is not about whom you got to bang last night, I'm all ears," he replied.   The other clicked his tongue. "I doubt that. In fact, I doubt that you're able to listen to anyone's voice that isn't Kim Taehyung's."   He watched how the younger male's cheeks tinted a hint of red and how his face lightened at the mention of the model's name.   Still trying to hold onto his bit of honor, Jungkook snorted obnoxiously. "Jimjams, are you hurt that I've been spending more time with Tae? Are you scared that I might replace you?" he teased.   He knew that the older male hated the nickname to the core.   The dancer had gotten the nickname from Namjoon-Hyung a while back and it had somehow circulated throughout the artists of HOMELY and everyone had started calling him that instead of his real name. Jimin had complained how unfair it was and how not funny it had been when Hoseok had once called him by the nickname while he was flirting with a few female models at a photoshoot. The girls had laughed and walked away then.   The older's grin only widened, "So you're on a nickname basis now, huh?" he teased.   Well, that backfired rapidly.   What the younger didn't know was that the nickname no longer affected the dancer. Not after his current crush had said that it actually had a ring to it and thought it sounded cute, but he wouldn’t tell the younger that.   Jungkook shrugged. "Tae is shorter and easier to pronounce. I used to call him TaeTae-Hyung when we were kids, but now Tae, just sounds better? Coz, I obvious won't call him Hyung for awkward reasons, but Tae is okay."   Jimin snickered.   "What?" the younger demanded.   "It's obviously not just short, but sounds good, too. I mean you've literally said his name five times in a span of ten seconds."   The younger's mouth opened to protest, but he had nothing to say. Taehyung's name did sound nice on his tongue. The image of Taehyung's face made him giddy; his voice made him feel he was drinking something warm after a long day in the snow outside.   "That's the reason why I paused the movie," he heard the older male point out and he blinked a few times, trying to get back to the present.   "What reason?"   Jimin ran a hand through his hair, pushing it back from the front, but only for it to fall back to where it was before. Jungkook had once asked him why he did that, but he told him that he was too young to understand, which had caused the younger to tell him that as long as he was still taller than him, then he had no right to exclude him from his 'grown up' explanations. A lot of bickering had happened, but yeah, they were still best friends.   "It's not a comedy movie, we're watching a thriller. Two whackos pretending to be other people and one of them just shoved a stained diaper into a kid’s face, which might be funny on another occasion, but it's gross and you were practically drooling during that scene."   The younger could not even protest as he did not recall watching that scene or even the movie itself.   "You probably don't even know what I'm talking about, do you?" the dancer tilted his head, observing him carefully.   "Ever since you moved in with the Kim’s all you say is Taehyung did this, Taehyung said that, Taehyung and I are going to go there. Every second sentence that comes out of your mouth has his name in it."   "So?" the younger demanded defensively.   "Don't you think you're spending too much time with him and maybe obsessing over him a tiny bit? I mean a few weeks ago you didn't like the guy, heck the idea of living with him irked you and now, he's your one and only."   Jungkook scoffed. "Okay first of all, eww, my one and only? Secondly, we did have some disagreements, but that's cleared out the way and third, I don't think I'm spending too much time with him."   "How did you clear it away, with a kiss?!" he sniggered, watching the younger's full face turn red.   Jungkook threw a stuffed elephant plush pillow, - that he had been cradling in his lap at the dancer, - it belonged to Taehyung and the model had told him that he frequently snuggled it whenever he fell asleep on the couch and told him he could lend it to him sometimes.   The dancer dodged it of course and laughed even louder. The bear fell somewhere behind and the younger male got up to retrieve it. He even apologized silently while eyeing the dancer with narrowed eyes.   After the young model had kissed him, Jungkook's mind had been all over the place and he had needed someone to speak to. Jimin had been his first choice, so he had gone to the dance studio at HOMELY at the first chance he got and had spoken with the dancer. Jimin had been as euphoric as he had been and had congratulated him, but then laughed at him when he told him how the kiss had come to be. He reminded him that this was Kim Taehyung they were talking about, he'd use any means to get his way and he shouldn't expect much.   The younger had denied anticipating anything, but he'd lied. Nearly two weeks after the kiss and his mind was still going back to the moment Taehyung's soft lips had touched his, the moment the older boy had moaned inside his mouth and sent all of his blood rushing south.   "I told you that it wasn't a big deal. And as you said, Tae probably did it to get his revenge for throwing in into the pool." The younger boy settled back into the couch, folded his legs and propped the bear in his arms while fixing his face at the flat screen TV.   Jimin frowned at this.   "I also said you should try to get it with him and so far all you've been doing is mulling over him."   "Who said I was interested in him?" The younger asked, mouth falling shut when the older pointed a finger at him, smirking. He didn't have to say it out loud, the video still existed.   "!" Did Jimin know how nerve wrecking the younger to not know where he stood with the young model? After the kiss, Taehyung had acted like it was nothing.   He had not addressed it nor acted awkwardly. On the contrary, he had started speaking more and more to the younger even in public, he'd ask Jungkook if he wanted to watch a movie he was watching with him or if he wanted to go downstairs and have dinner with him because he didn't want to eat alone. He'd even asked him if he wanted to go with him to visit Park Bogeum on the set of his drama- okay, so maybe the younger male had to accompany the model in order for the latter to be allowed to leave the house, but Taehyung could have ditched him along the way. But the young model hadn't. In fact, he'd stick right beside him wherever they went and if they were separated, he'd always catch the older male looking his way and then he'd smile at him and turn back to whatever he was doing or whomever he was speaking to.   Sometimes he'd even get random texts from Taehyung or just selfies in the middle of the day and he wouldn't know how to respond, but it seemed like the elder boy knew him enough, because most of the time he'd ask a question that the younger would have to answer or he'd put a "just wanted you to know" at the end.   The young model never mentioned the drunk text messages, although they were on chatting basis now- at least that's what the younger thought. It was as if they were never sent and Jungkook hoped that that was the case.   But even though he and the elder male had become closer - which many people had noticed and not failed to point out; many tabloids displayed Taehyung and Jungkook out and about and some even went so far as to speculate whether the two were dating. The model's preference had long since been known to the public and while not everyone accepted homouality, some just took it as it was. There was no point in protesting against something that many people saw as normal in this era. This, of course, had not stopped some people from dragging down whichever famous person that came out of the closet.    The younger still felt some distance between them. For example, the day Jungkook went over to HOMELY, Taehyung had come along and had visited his mother in the CEO's office, while Jungkook spoke to Jimin.   Later he'd found the latter in one of the recording studios where Suga and Hoseok-Hyung were, the young model engulfed into a semi-hug by the brunette dancer. Even Suga, who hated skinship, had let Taehyung cling to him before the latter went back to Hoseok claiming that his hugs were warmer.   The young heir had felt like he was spying on something intimate as if he were an outsider and although he knew Taehyung longer than all of them, he sadly wasn't as close to the latter as they were.   "Jimin, I don't know how to act around him; he keeps on flirting and dropping all these small hints, but I don't want to jump into conclusion. For all we know, my mind might have conjured up everything. I mean, I even mistook the small outings for dates until you told me they weren't."   The younger's voice got louder when he spoke and the dancer was glad that the person they were speaking of was not at home at the moment. When Jimin had arrived, Taehyung had been running through the apartment looking for his wallet saying that his Hyung would be here any minute and he had to be ready and what not.   Jimin had watched him press the intercom for downstairs and ask one of the maids if they'd maybe accidently taken his wallet with the clothes that had been lying on the couch this morning. When they told him that they were still looking through the laundry, he had stared at the clock and told them that he'd go downstairs himself and check, but Jungkook had stopped him before he could walk out.   The younger male had calmed him down and told him that they'll find the wallet without him and if they don't then he could take the younger's wallet and use his card- Jungkook has never trusted anyone enough to leave them with his credit card, let alone his whole wallet, so imagine how surprised the dancer had been. That was when the model had calmed down and finally taken notice of Jimin.   "Sorry about that," he gave him a sheepish grin. "And also about the mess," he motioned around the living room; at the flipped cushions and stuffed animals lying on the floor, due to the models hectic search for his wallet.   Jimin had had no choice, but to smile along. Taehyung had the type of smile that could make anyone soft. "It's no big deal. It looks better than my room," he replied, watching Jungkook clean up the things from the side of his eye.   Taehyung walked over to where Jungkook was, folding a blanket and grabbed it from his hands, slapping his fingers away when the younger protested to let go. It was a small gesture, but something about the way they were behaving with each other seemed so domestic that the dancer couldn't help but watch with curious eyes.   "Give it to me; I made the mess," the model had said.   "I'll just help you," came the soft answer from Jungkook.   "No, you've helped me enough." Came the curt answer, but did not sound like he was annoyed.   "But I want to help-" the younger sulked.   Jimin had never seen this side of Jungkook before; in all the years he’d known the younger, Jungkook had never used aegyo. Ever. It took the dancer all his self-control not to call him out but he decided it was best to let it slide.   Taehyung seemed caught off guard for a second, he blinked one, twice and then gave out a defeated sigh.   "You're making me feel incompetent, at least let me keep my pride, alright, Jungkookie?"   That had been the deal breaker.   Those last words and the way the brunette had said them so softly had left Jungkook flushing red and frozen to his spot and Jimin's mouth and eyes wide open waiting to see what would follow.   As if the model had read the atmosphere, he smiled at the younger and went on. "And if you listen well, maybe I can convince Hyung to drive us to your favorite lamb skewer restaurant and we'll bring you some."   Jimin almost expected finger guns to follow, but they never came. He didn't see how the younger male was going to pull himself out of the hole he had dug himself in. He finally understood why Kim Taehyung was desired by many. It was not that the dancer didn't know the model. They both were under the same label, with Taehyung being a Sunbae, for he had been modeling for HOMELY since he was a baby. They also attended the same school and even had one or two classes together, even shared the same friends, but he had never really seen Kim Taehyung up close.   He had never seen him alone actually. Every time Jimin had bothered to look, the model always seemed to have someone around him and he had certainly never seen Jungkook and Taehyung interact like this. When the model had moved into the Jeon's back then, he had stayed in his room or better say out of the younger's way, so whenever the dancer had visited, he'd only get a glimpse of the model before he went out or disappeared back into his room, after saying a quick hello and asking about his last performance. - As label mates, it was custom to ask each other such questions and or maybe gossip a little about this and that.   But all this while, he had thought that Taehyung was a carefree live in the moment, on legs as Jungkook calls him, but he was just a very sharp person that knew how to play with people's strings. He came to a conclusion that the reason why the young model was liked by so many, including the dancer himself, was not just because of his looks or of whom his parents were, but it was the way he carried himself. There was something invisible that drew you to the model. Something that made you want to draw all your cards and lay them on the table; something that made you want Taehyung to be your friend or pay attention to you.   Jimin feared that this had also been the case for the young heir. Hence all the tension around them all these years.   WELL, DAMN.   Jungkook had stammered then, letting go of the blanket and avoided the elder's gaze. His eyes landed on the dancer and he immediately glared at him, but Jimin had been stifling his laughter. The heir could not talk his way out and he knew that. It was bad enough that Jimin had a video of him pining over Kim Taehyung, but he just witnessed him turn into jelly, by a simple request from the young model.   But Jimin wouldn't be the best Hyung if he didn't help his favorite dongsaeng; he shot up on his feet in no time. "How about, we all cleanup? It's faster and I won't have to feel uncomfortable watching you clean while I sit here," he suggested, bending over to pick up two cushions that were lying on the beige carpet.   "Jimjams, you don't have to do that," he heard Taehyung say and soon after, Jungkook's laughter followed.   The dancer felt heat rush to his face and he forced his expression to stay neutral when he rose back up to look at the model. "No, its fine," he said through gritted teeth, throwing the cushions back on to onto the couch a little too strongly.   Taehyung stared at him blankly and then at Jungkook who was clutching his stomach in uncontrollable laughter. "Oh, Jimjams' not your name? I thought that was the name you used, Hobbie-Hyung said-"   "Hobbie says a lot of ," the dancer snapped feeling bad right after seeing the model's confused expression.   Taehyung furrowed his brows, "I asked Kookie and he said that you liked the name."   The dancer's eyes shifted to the boy now seated on the table, looking at the both of them innocently.   "You said you didn't care which usually translates to I might like it," he shrugged.   "You don't like it?" Taehyung questioned before Jimin could respond.   "Bummer, me and Suga-Hyung the other day were talking and asked Namjoon-Hyung how he came up with it, cause it was really cute! - Suga-Hyung just said it had a ring to it, but I'm sure he also low-key finds it cute," the model explained.   The dancer's features lit up.   He smiled and shrugged; "I don't hate it, but Hobbie's been pissing me off lately."   The model pursed his lips, nodding. "He does get carried away sometimes with teasing people, but he means well. No one can mean harm towards someone as cute as you!" He gave him a wide grin, all teeth on full display.   And Jimin couldn't help it when his face turned red again or when he smiled along.   But there was one person that did not smile and that was the
