Taehyung had to face palm really hard for his overly competitive friend. Jungkook was sitting beside him, laughing his off on how Jimin started yelling at Yoongi.

Yoongi hyung was watching in amusement, muffling his laughter on how Jimin looks so cute and competitive over a simple game.

But no, according to Jimin, its not only just a game, it was a lovely sport that should be dwelt with passion…intense, burning passion…

Yoongi have never seen someone so ing adorable before.

It’s been like a full hour and Jungkook had to pay for another round only for Jimin to defeat Yoongi’s scores. Taehyung being the scorer and Jungkook as ..well, moral supporter for both sides.

And with Yoongi’s 4 strikes in a row, Jimin’s gutter moves keeps failing him every time.

Taehyung watches as Jimin picks up another ball glaring dagger at Yoongi who stood close to Jimin. He couldn’t help but muffle a giggle; Jimin was so worried of going into his sassy side and might intimidate Yoongi, but it was obvious that the older is falling deeper and deeper. Jimin is very likeable.

“ I’m really sure that I’ll be able to beat your strikes hyung!”

Yoongi gapes dramatically “ Really now? How can you beat a strike when strike is hitting all pins down? You can’t defeat a strike with something –”

Jimin flusters, pouting, obviously annoyed “ Then I’ll demand for an extra pin you smart ! What ever I’m gonna beat your mister!”

“ Sure, will you beat me with your outstanding gutters?” Yoongi smiles, clapping his hands for Jimin to even get redder. Jungkook snorts seeing how Jimin could change into a variety shades of red.

“ Yah!” Jimin screams, hitting Yoongi with one hand. Taehyung watched in awe, a bubble of oddly pride building up in him. He was very proud of Jimin’s progress with Yoongi.

Jimin was glowing, a smile that Taehyung never have seen before. He was so goddamn proud.

Taehyung sighs, He was about to look down on the board on his hand when he felt a hand had found its way into his. Taehyung felt his own lips curve into a smile slowly turning his head to look at Jungkook  “ What are you doing hmm?”

Jungkook shrugs, tugging their interlocked hands “ What do you think?”

“ I’ll say that you’re stepping into my personal space? Have you heard of that before Jungkookie?”

Jungkook laughs sending a wave of butterflies into Taehyung “ Nope, never heard of that before.” He trails leaning into Taehyung a bumping their foreheads together “ What I do know is how much I missed you”

Taehyung chuckles “ You said that a while ago”

“ And I’ll say it again. I missed you Tae”

“ I missed you too Kookie”

They stared at each other for a good full minute until Taehyung sees something change in Jungkook’s gaze.

“ I’m sorry” Jungkook blurts out shocking Taehyung for a bit, his hand tightening around his “ … That day when I knew you were avoiding me, I got pissed. I let my anger come first before even confronting you for the reason. I was being stupid”

Taehyung felt his heart melt. His own eyes softening, “ Its okay, its mostly my fault for not talking it out with you… I just got confused of your actions that’s all”

Jungkook smiles, nuzzling Taehyung’s hair “ there’s nothing to be confused off Tae…”

Should he ask for it? Ask for confirmation?

“ Kook?” Are we lovers?

Are you my boyfriend? Cause I did remember telling you that I can be yours…

But … are you thinking that I can be yours in a more beneficial type of relationship or…. More of a serious one?

Will you really be serious about me?

I’m very confused. Are you really going to protect and cherish me…?

ing damn doubtful heart and stupid Phase.

God, Taehyung wanted to ask everything…

“ Hmm?”

Well here goes nothing, YOLO “ What are we exactly?”

Jungkook pulls away with a deep frown on his handsome face. That kindda made Taehyung fidget on his own spot, to ask or not to ask? That is the ing question. And now he was saying a monologue from Macbeth.. Wait was it from Macbeth? Or was it from the Internet? Damn you adventures of Billy and Mandy …

“ What the hell do you even mean by that?”

“ I’m just… “ Taehyung stared “ I don’t know what we are…”

“ Like what’s our title?” Jungkook asks, his frown deepening.

“ Yea… Something like that.”

“ Well we already kissed, I told you how I feel, and you told me how you feel so its mutual right?” Jungkook narrows.

Taehyung blushed from the memory; smacking Jungkook’s shoulder with his free hand “ Yes we kiss— Hang on correction Mr. Jeon. You kissed me. How should I know what we are? Us having mutual feelings could be just be in the FWB zone. I don’t know! This is the first time someone had taken interest on me like this and me, having any interactions with normal people… so I shouldn’t know. I don’t know“

His heart was beating too fast for his own liking. He expected Jungkook to look at him weirdly or anything. But Jungkook kept his face in a neutral look; He was about to pull his hand away from Jungkook when it surprisingly got tighter.

“ Go out with me Kim Taehyung” Jungkook starts, looking right into his eyes making Taehyung whimper. “ Like I said before, I like you. a lot. I know it sounds weird but you have no idea how much I like you since the first time I laid my eyes on you. How much I’ve always wanted to hold your hand, see that breathtaking smile directed to me, and hear you call my name. I don’t want anyone else that’s not you. And I don’t care even if you friend zone me but please give me a chance to prove to you how much I’m very serious about you…be my boyfriend”

Taehyung was surely catch by surprise. “ W-What?”

“ I want to do this properly and make us official”

“ B-But Im weird..”

“ So?”

“ I cant even handle a single compliment without bursting into a tomato..”

“ So? You’re adorable like that”

“ Why would you even like someone as idiosyncrantic like me?”

“ Yah, Kim Taehyung” Jungkook stops him, grabbing his other hand, bringing it both up into the handsome man’s face. Taehyung watched as Jungkook places a lingering kiss on each fingers of his fingers making his face get hotter and hotter. “ You are the most beautiful, caring, amusing human being that I have met. You are neither an idiot nor a weirdo, cause if you are then you’re my idiot and weirdo. I know you are not the fragile Taehyung that everyone sees, a flower that can’t be reach on the top of the hill and I think that’s some bull your sasaeng fans made. But to me, you are none of that. I may not know all of you but I’m I have the intention to know every bit of part of you. I want to be the one to see you. Only you”

He couldn’t contain his feelings anymore. Taehyung had always bottled up his feelings to protect himself. From reality, from his own mind and heart. He would always go with the flow, letting people pick for himself. Having no decisions for himself. It pained Taehyung. But now, Jungkook was looking at him like an open book. Its like Jungkook have been watching him, seeing right thru him at every aspect.

Taehyung brokes into a sob, leaning into the touch that Jungkook had given him. Slowly moving in and resting his head on Jungkook’s shoulder.

“ Can I be yours..?” Taehyung mumbles.

“ I already answered that question Tae, a long time ago… I think your question is all wrong” Taehyung smiles, feeling the vibration of Jungkook’s chuckles.

“ I hate you..” Taehyung says.

“ Wow that’s nice to hear baby”

“ you don’t call me that”

“ Okay very vulgar baby”

Taehyung chuckles, lifting his head and leaning in, surprising the Raven with a peck on the cheek “ Can I be your boyfriend?”

Jungkook smiles “ would be stupid if I said no”

“ You flirting youths! Get a room!” Oh god, Taehyung was ready to murder Jimin right on the spot…

                                                            “ In terms of looks, rate Yoongi” Namjoon asks, chewing on his burger with a bits of the patty escaping his mouth some what landing on Hoseok’s face.

Hoseok grimaces at the unmannerly manner displayed by the DJ before wiping his face with a napkin, carefully not damaging his makeup. With both of them still waiting for the four to go out, Namjoon had the right mind to order some take out while they wait.

“ Can you not like talk while your mouth is full? It’s highly disturbing…” he replied, throwing a hand full of tissue at the DJ’s face. “ I don’t want to be seen eating in the sidewalk with a disgusting person with no manners at all, making you disgusting as hell…”

Namjoon snaps his head shooting Hoseok a glare “ Yeah, and eating with a tranny in the sidewalk. In front of a bowling bowl place where he shouldn’t be meddling and snooping around is not disturbing at all”

“ Tranny is for men that wears women clothes for entertainment and fun. I’m just wearing these clothes to establish—“

Hoseok was cut off by the look Namjoon was sending him. Hoseok chews on his own burger before swallowing, clearing his throat.

“ …Fine Touché But whatever, I will say. 8 over 10? Silver hair gets me, but it’ll be a ten if Yoongi changes it to black with blue highlights.”

Namjoon nods at the idea, ruffling the paper bag for ketchup “ Fair enough, how about the golden boy?”

Hoseok hums, his eyes rolling back “ A full 10. That hot piece of meat is HOT.”

“ Why do you keep describing Jeon Hot? Okay I get that he is but still… okay, now in terms of protection?”

“ Both are a full ten. Don’t be fooled by their appearances. Golden boy is like a sweet small bunny while Minnie is like a turtle. But when you upgrade them like Pokémons then wish your life you’ll survive once you piss them off. Also I’m calling Jungkook hot cause not only does he have a booty he has this weird behavior that really draws you in… Yoongi is very Charismatic, Jeon is just pure goodness”  
 

Namjoon was about to retort his statement when Hoseok practically shoved a burger on his mouth. Hoseok being the girl for the night shush him with a cringy grace. He was about to yell at the shemale when he notices that Hoseok’s phone was glowing.

“ Taehyungie said, Jungkook asked him to be his boyfriend. Like thank god finally…” Hoseok smiles, tapping fast for a reply “ Now what’s left is that Min’s to just ask Jimin out and there! Poof! Happy ever after for the two of them!” 

“ wait wait wait. Pause this ” Namjoon chimes in disbelief “ Are you playing as the fairygod mother on this kind of fairytale?”

“ Certainly I am”

“ That explains the dress…”

“ Plus, know how much I’m rockin’ this dress. My damn legs, mhm chicken legs, ready to nibble on. Take me like your chicken lollipop Joonie~ devour me to the tip!” 

“ Holy. ing. . Jesus. Christ. How to unhear?!”

                                                It’s been approximately been 30 minutes and 20 seconds and 5 milliseconds since Taehyung and Jungkook had been official. But of course both of them were still in low key so they wouldn’t ruin the double date with Jimin blaring on his face.

Jimin would surely take them home once he finds out. Taehyung can’t go home just yes, without even getting something to eat tho.

He smiles when he locks eyes with his partner who was now competing with Jimin.

Taehyung sends him a shy wave, making Jungkook chuckle and waves back.

Jimin had seen that and wanted to gag. He pushes Jungkook off the lane yelling not to interfere from his and Yoongi’s match. But being the badass Jeon Jungkook, he doesn’t like people pushing him. So after getting back his composure, he practically kicks Jimin off the lane and yelling how he has a competitive side disorder.

Taehyung laughs, gesturing Jimin to sit beside him instead.

“ Your boi is getting on my nerves. I’m about to defeat hyung when Kook had to cut in on my scoring!” Jimin yells, slumping on his seat.

“ What score? A gutter score?” Taehyung says muffling a laugh making Jimin groan in frustration.

“ You are no better than your lover boy! You’re bullying me”

“ Cant help it Jiminie, you’re so cute”

“ Ey, you’re complementing me. What the hell do you want?”

Taehyung just gave him a smile as a reply before standing up and walking towards Jungkook leaving a bewildered Jimin gaping at him with curiosity. Jungkook and Yoongi were having a small conversation until he walked in. Jungkook’s frown disappeared when Taehyung locked eyes with him.

“ What’s up?” Jungkook says offering a hand for him to take. He couldn’t help but chuckle grabbing the offered hand, tugging him into a familiar nuzzling manner that Jungkook has. Taehyung couldn’t help but find the nuzzling adorable and calming.

“ Is it okay if I burrow Jiminie for a while?” He says looking at Yoongi’s direction. Yoongi was obviously in the state of confusion when Taehyung walked in and practically jump into Jungkook’s arms. Even if they were low key for now, Jungkook seems to show it anyway.

Yoongi glanced at the said male’s location in the chairs, who was actually looking at them with a raised eyebrow. Jungkook and Taehyung also shifted their gaze on the boy. Jimin yells at them to stop looking.

“ Are you two going to leave us?” Yoongi pouts.

Taehyung softly chuckles, shaking his head “ Nope, there’s a vending machine over that corner. ”

“ Okay. After you two get back, we’ll go” Yoongi points out. Taehyung nods, detaching his hand from Jungkook’s grip.

He stretched out his hand for Jimin who immediately took it, laughing. Jimin glances at their back and drags him far away from hearing range.

“ Is there something you are not t
