"hyungs... i want to ask permission...." tae said as he sat with jin and namjoon while on practice break

"for what bub?" jin asked

"can we have lunch with all the members and bogum hyung?" the younger cautiously asked

namjoon raised an eyebrow "what's the occassion tae?"

"well i just want to formally introduce bogumie to you guys... you are my family and i want to you know have him formally meet you guys not as my members but as my brothers" he shyly replies

"bogumie? what happened to hyung?" hoseok asked as inserting himself in their conversation

tae could only blush and smile.. one not missed by none other than joongkook

"when do you want to do it bub?" jin asked

"hmmm how about tomorrow? it's saturday and we don't have a schedule... i mean if it's ok with you...if not we can find another date" tae said looking at s

"it's ok for tomorrow..namjoon and i will go shop for food later ok? what does bogum like?" jin asked again

"he's ok with anything hyung... he's not picky.. just no wheat based foods.. he is allergic..." tae smiled thinking of bogum and how he almost killed him the first time he found out about his allergy way back when they were still just friends

"noted..well boys don't schedule anything tomorrow..we need to all be there araseo?" jin said looking at the rest of the boys who nodded except for one as he was busy zoning out immediately right after the words "formally introduce bogumie" 

-----------------------

the next day jin woke up early and was busy preparing the things he needed for the special lunch... jimin was up and helping him too

"you think this is a good idea hyung?" jimin asked

"unfortunately tae is sticking too his decision.. too bad he would never know how kook feels about him..." jin answered

"jin hyung.. i'm going to go and buy dessert.. is there anything you else you need?" taehyung asked getting ready to leave.. he wore a pink hoodie and jeans, a white cap and a face mask, 

"ani.. i think i have everything tae... be careful ok? don't forget to bring your phone please?" jin reminded the younger who nodded 

after tae left, joongkook came out of his room.. he wore a white hoodie and jeans, a cap and a face mask...just like the other one and quietly went to put on his shoes

"where are you going?" hoseok asked

"for a walk..." he briefly replied

"kook-ah we have a visitor so you need to be back here before lunch ok?" jin told him

the maknae took a deep breath.. not really liking what's about to happen but he gave jin a nod anyway... and then he left

-------

joongkook was walking aimlessly to say the least.. no particular direction in mind.. just his feet taking him to wherever the one he was secretly following is going...

unknown to everyone.. this is a habit of his when taehyung decides to leave the house alone... he feels worried all the time so he just started secretly following the other until he is home safe... is ninja skills has really improved as taehyung never notices...

kook stood outside the cake shop observing taehyung as he bought cake... he noticed that tae put his wallet on the counter after paying and when he took the cake, he put his mask back on and forgot to pick up the said wallet...

as tae left, kook rushed inside introducing himself and taking the wallet with him and proceeded to follow taehyung again..

taehyung still oblivious was humming to the music in his ears 

as he got to the house joongkook came in pretending he just got home and purposely bumped into taehyung slipping his wallet on his hoodie's pocket

"sorry hyung..." the maknae apologized, tae replying with a nod

-----

**ding dong***

yoongi got up and looked at the monitor... he saw bogum standing there .. he sighed and then walked to the door and let the guy in

"hi hyung.." he greeted

"hey.. come in..." yoongi smiled and motioned ofr the younger to come in "boys... bogum is here"

jin came out of the kitchen followed by jimin.. hoseok and namjoon stood up with hoseok forcing joongkook to stand...finally taehyung came out of his room

"bogumie" taehyung smiled as he approached bogum and gave him a hug.. joongkook looked away and namjoon cleared his throat to get taehyung's attention back

"hyungs..kook... i know you guys know bogumie hyung as one of my closest friends... but i want you to meet him this time as someone special to me..." taehyung ganced at joongkook who seemed uninterested and hejust sighed "family... this is bogumie my boyfriend... bogumie this is my family"

hoseok felt joongkook stiffen at the introductions...his hand held the maknae's giving him support...

joongkook felt like he just got stabbed but kept it in so as not to alert taehyung...

"annyeonghaseyo.. i'm really grateful for having me here today" he smiled sweetly as he greeted the members

"we are glad you are here too hyung... we of course would want to formally meet the source of happiness of our little tae tae..." namjoon said with a smile although cautiously as kook is still there.. the other's just smiling at the visitor...

"ok...so lunch is ready, tae bring bogum to the dining room.. i hope you will like it " jin gave his motherly smile

the boys sat on their regular seats except now there is someone between the two youngest members which made joongkook more irritated

"tae said you are the best cook ever hyung and i'm honored to be able to eat your food hyung" bogum smiled as he complemented the older's cooking

"oh stop.. but thank you " jin smiled

"so... hyung.. when did you realize you liked tae?" jimin asked

"well.. honestly for awhile now.. but because tae likes.." before he could continue taehyung elbowed him and he got the message as he nodded "let's just say i had to wait for a bit for me to be able to confess to him"

the hyungs didn't miss the elbowing understanding that tae might not want joongkook to know about his feelings

"we are his brothers and we just want the best for him.. so please take care of our tae well.. please be patient with his periodic clumsiness too"  yoongi said to bogum

"will do hyung.. i will do everything for him...i will risk everything for him... you can trust me on that... plus i love the clumsy tae tae.. he's cute like that" bogum replied smiling at tae who had a blush on his face...

yes bogum makes him blush with all his sweet talks and compliments.. unfortunately it can't make his heart beat the way it did when his eyes met joongkook by accident... it's like for a quick moment the bogum wall disappeared but then bogum nudged him taking him back to reality...

after lunch, the boys decided to hang around in the living room with bogum.. more questions being asked.. it was more like an interogation but bogum indulged the curiosities from his boyfriend's members

joongkook notice taehyung was yawning.. he knew his hyung could fall asleep anywhere even in a noisy environment... tae was in between him and bogum ... and he was expecting him to fall on his shoulders like always but then the opposite happened...taehyung leaned towards bogum instead making the maknae frown...kook was seeing green as bogum redjusted himself and put a pillow in his lap for taehyung to sleep on

"typical tae.. sometimes i think he's narcoleptic ..just suddenly sleeping..."  jimin chuckled...

hoseok did not miss kook's uneasiness...

the maknae stood up and excused himself.. telling them he is going to the gym.. again...

the members aside from taehyung knew better...lately gym meant joongkook is not happy because of something taehyung and bogum related

"i'll go with you" jimin said... standing up sayin good bye to the hyungs and their visitor before following joongkook to their rooms to pick up their bags

"hey bogum.. is it ok if we leave you here with tae since he is sleeping? namjoon and i have to run some errands.." jin said

"hoseok and i need to go record a guide for our next album" yoongi seconded

"yes it's ok hyungs.. i'll watch over him... i like doing that anyway.. he's so cute when he sleeps... thanks for having me anyway.." bogum smiled

the hyungs left , and bogum was carresing taehyung's face 

"beautiful..." he whispered... he leaned his head back and closed his eyes.. his hand travelling to taehyungs to hold...

a sweet sight... only if the one who's watching wasn't hurting..

"kook?" jimin called... his eyes following joongkook's view... he felt sad for the maknae...

"let's go hyung..." he quickly wiped his eyes hoping jimin didn't notice and rushed out ...

what kook was feeling at that moment... jimin can't imagine... "he must be hurting a lot...." he thought as he followed the maknae...

jimin saw him lowkey wiping his tears.. even as they walked..
