"Since I'm in a good mood and Taehyung and I have been arguing about dumplings or jokbal, I'll let you ladies choose" he clearly said ladies but gave the entire menu to Dahyun instead, I sighed letting his boldness slip for now

But really? Who argues between dumplings and Jokbal?

I focus on the scene in front of me, Jimin looks like a creep with that smile, more like pennywise. Dahyun didn't seem to know what to do but send me a look of 'help'

I turn to Taehyung and ask "what do you want to eat?" I questioned the bored man who had his chin under the comfort of his palm while elbowing the table, he instantly sat up straight when I talked to him "huh? uh, you"

Jimin laughed and he scrambled to fix his sentence "I mean, what do you want to eat?" he fires back my own sentence which twitched my brow for some reason "Jokbal"

"I wanted dumplings" both Jimin and Dahyun said and she widens her eyes and Jimin turned to us with bulging eyes and a soulful smile, I am certain his soul just left his body

In the end, we both bought Jokbal and dumplings due to some popular demands (*cough* Jimin). we were eating in peace, he and Dahyun seem to loosen up to each other a little bit

I smiled at the sight not until a pair of chopsticks placed dumplings on my plate. I looked back at the suspect who was innocently chewing on his food, his cheeks puffed up from every munch "hate dumplings" Taehyung explained, knowing why I even looked at him in the first place

"I hate them too, we can't waste it" I said, convincing him to take back the dumpling from my plate. His nose scrunched before he indeed took it and brought it to my lips "open your mouth" he said in a muffled voice because his own mouth was full

I cringed, not wanting to do such an affectionate activity in front of Jimin and Dahyun's mischievous gazes "Sharing is caring" said this nut, shoving it into my mouth

I really do hate dumplings, well it's not like I have a deep hatred for them it's just that it's something I wouldn't order as my last meal if ever.

And I guess he feels the same

"Say aaah!" envious of the scenario he had seen, Jimin had tried to feed her when she tilts her head and ignores him. The poor boy in love falls back on his seat while glaring at us like it's our fault

For all of our consciousness we didn't expect that our conversations would last till the sun had a collision with the moon. If it hadn't been for Jungkook's text I wouldn't have noticed

After a while Jimin ordered some wine and selfishly finished one bottle for himself and the other one for the three of us to share. He was bright red like a potato and we started taking pictures of him when my phone beeped

Taehyung stopped capturing moments and gave me a knowing look. He saw what Jungkook had sent me

Jungkook:

I'll be sleeping at your place. 

"I need to go home now" I told them making Dahyun whine, already knowing why "I'll make it up next time" I stood up and Taehyung mimicked me all of a sudden causing a screeching sound come out from his chair, Dahyun looked at us silently.

"I'll walk you home" he said, approaching me when I pointed to his drunk friend "what about..." Jimin seemed to be drunk enough to understand me "don't worry. I don't get drunk with one bottle"

"But Dahyun-" she lifted her hands and waved them as if to say no "Aniya! Jimin will walk me!" she nods with her cheeky grin while grasping Jimin's arm, and he smirked

"Alright" I guess I can't say no to him directly either, that would sound rude "Jungkook might see you and get the wrong impression" I said as we walked out of the restaurant

"I'll stop a block away from your apartment" he added, already calculating his options. I nod and let the silence take over my mind

Meanwhile

There was Dahyun and a drunk Jimin. The moment those two morons left he jolts up from his seat, almost thanking his bestfriend and his...ex? crush? whatever, fling it is. He was grateful for Taehyung and Tzuyu for giving him alone time with her

"Is there something going on between Taehyung and Tzuyu?" his heart pounded against his chest when she talked to him. He smiled, feeling the heat crawl up to slap his cheeks red "uh, yeah, I mean no"

"I've been getting that feeling they do" she said, cute pouty lips forming a cute curve, despite the bubbling feelings of love he knew well enough Taehyung and Tzuyu's past wasn't something he could freely proclaim

Not everyone knows about their relationship. probably just me

"Where did you guys meet her? They already seem pretty close" if he tells her he'll get points and a higher chance of getting close to each other but then the image of Taehyung crying till he couldn't breathe banged on his head

The faint photographs in his memories that he witnessed when the love of his friend's life disappeared in the dark. How painful it was for him that he couldn't do anything but watch

He knew it was a sensitive topic that Taehyung always hated when being brought up by him. He knew this was his chance to have Kim dahyun take a step in his heart but he chose to keep Taehyung's story within him

I'm not an ugly snitch

"I don't have a comment about that, and besides, that's none of our business is it?" she nods, disappointed that Jimin chose to not talk about it. Though, her girl's intuition was already picking something up between them

She was deep in thoughts when Jimin taps her shoulder and points to the window. her eyes followed and she gasped loudly "d-did Jungkook just pass by?" She even stuttered in worry and he nods "yeah, same way they're going in"

He grunts, throwing his head back "a minute away from seeing them together."

Jimin eventually realizes what's going on and gets up straight, suddenly feeling sober

WAIT, JUNGKOOK?!

Both said in their minds
