Jungkook volunteered to buss for Jimin and him. He was extremely focused on putting the leftovers in the bin when Taehyung and Yoongi came in. Taehyung scans the place and found Jimin.
"Park Jimin!" Taehyung shouted while pointing at him.
Jungkook got startled. Yoongi shook his head while touching his forehead. Jimin looked at him, brows furrowed.
"...and everyone. Listen." He continued, looking at the crowd.
Jungkook watched. What an asshole. What is he? The main character? He thought, shaking his head.
"Park Jimin and I did not do anything. It was misunderstanding. We got locked in...well, I trapped him. You see, I needed something from him. Not his body though. He's not my type. Don't get me wrong. He's beautiful. I actually know someone who really likes him..."
I'm going to kill him. Yoongi and Jimin said internally.
"...anyway, yeah..."
Such a waste of everybody's time. Jungkook thought to himself as he shook his head.
Jungkook was walking towards their table when Taehyung spotted him.
"BABY!"
Everybody looked at where Taehyung was looking.
"Shit." Jimin murmured.
Some people gasped.
"What!?" Somebody said from the crowd.
Jungkook didn't even notice everyone looking at him. He was lost in his bubble. He arrived at the table. The first thing he caught sight of was Jimin's face. He recognized...pity.
"Hey gorgeous. I'm talking to you." He finally heard Taehyung. He stared at him.
Taehyung walked towards him, closer and closer.
"Did you get my message? I texted you." Taehyung told him.
Hey baby. He remembered. "How did you get my number?"
"From your friend." Taehyung pointed at Jimin.
Jungkook turned to Jimin, livid. Jimin bowed his head. He looked back at Taehyung.
"I locked him at the restroom. To get your number." Taehyung said, smiling sweetly.
He cannot believe his ears.
"Erase it." Jungkook commanded.
"NO WAY!" Taehyung said, pouting.
Jungkook breathed deeply. "Erase it, Kim Taehyung." He said as he glared at him.
Taehyung met his eyes. He smirked before saying "I memorized it."
Yoongi guffawed. Jungkook looked at Jimin.
"You! Come with me!" Jungkook pointed at him before he stormed out.
Jimin gulped before following. Taehyung followed suit. Yoongi was about to, then he turned back.
"Nobody move." he told them.
Everyone in the cafeteria froze.
...
"I cannot believe you gave my number." Jungkook started.
The four of them are at the school's rooftop.
"I have no choice." Jimin answered. Taehyung nodded. Yoongi furrowed his brows.
"What did he do?" Yoongi asked.
"I blackmailed him." Taehyung answered.
"You locked him and blackmailed him!? Kim Taehyung!!!" Yoongi shouted
"How? The threat must be between life and death since you chose to feed me to the devil!"
"Ouch." Taehyung held his chest.
"He has a photo. Of us." Jimin answered.
"Of us?" Jungkook asked
"No. Of us." He pointed at himself and Yoongi.
"Oh." Yoongi said. "You have a photo of us?!"
Taehyung smiled and nodded. "Not just any photo. Of you..." then he puckered his lips towards Jungkook.
Jungkook tried to swat him.
"He said he's going to show to it everyone if I don't give him your number."
Taehyung nodded, looking proud. Yoongi slapped his face lightly.
"How could you that to me, huh?!" Yoongi asked Taehyung
"I'm sorry, Jungkook. I can't think of any way out." Jimin apologized.
Jungkook turned to Jimin who seemed really sad.
"It will be hard for me but I forgive you." Jungkook told Jimin. He knows how much Jimin loves Yoongi. But he's not ready to come out yet. He supports him. He will always have his back.
"They're such nice friends." Taehyung whispered to Yoongi.
"Yeah. I can't say the same to you." Yoongi fired back.
"I'm sorry you have to suffer for us." Yoongi told Jungkook. Patting his shoulder.
Taehyung did the same. Jungkook looked at him darkly and moved away.
Jungkook and Jimin left first. Taehyung was staring at the sky, twirling an unlit cigarette in his hand. Yoongi was there observing him.
"You really have to go that far to get his number?"
Taehyung did not answer.
"You like him?"
"You know I don't do that."
"You just want to taste him?"
Taehyung nodded.
"How long will it take?"
"You want to bet on it?" Taehyung smirked.
"No. I'll bet on a different one."
"What is it?"
"One million won...He's going to break your heart."
"One million won, I'm going to break his first. Deal? "
"Deal."
...
Jimin, Yoongi and Taehyung were in the library. Jimin and Yoongi were working on a laboratory report. Taehyung was just there to annoy Jimin.
"I text every day. He hasn't replied. Not even once!" Taehyung complained.
Jimin ignored him. He's been saying that since the moment he arrived, which was two hours ago. The cafeteria fiasco has brought both the good and the bad in Jimin's life. The good: Yoongi was now able to spend more time with him without other people suspecting. The bad: Kim Taehyung. Yoongi and Taehyung, unfortunately, are a package deal. Like a buy one, get one offer. Yoongi said he doesn't really have many friends which is understandable. He only has Namjoon, the bar owner, and Yoongi. Because they are cousins. It wouldn't be that bad if not for his personality. If only Taehyung can live without talking. Or thinking out loud. Jimin noticed that he thinks simply. He often says the first thing that pops in his head. He ends up being insensitive. He does not reconsider. Because of this, he got into an argument with Rob the previous week. And just the other day, Charles officially ditched them because of him. And Jungkook...
"Did he block me?" Taehyung interrupted Jimin's train of thoughts.
Sshhh. The librarian gave them a warning.
"Jimin, did he block me?" Taehyung whispered
"You just realized that?" Yoongi whispered back.
Taehyung looked at Jimin, offended. He clicked his tongue and slowly went back to using his phone. Silence. At last. Jimin thought. Minutes later, his phone dinged. Taehyung messaged him. Jimin looked at Taehyung, brows furrowed. He smirked at him. He sent him two images. Jimin flipped back forth between the two images, mouth gaped then looked at Taehyung.
"What is this?" Jimin angrily whispered. Yoongi heard the emotion in his voice.
"Which one do you like? Do you like the hearts or the kiss emoji? I'm going to post it."
"I gave you his number!"
"But you see, it's no use."
Jimin and Taehyung glared at each other until one of them gave up.
"You're going to tell him to unblock me. I require one reply every day." Taehyung stood up, preparing to leave. "Oh. And tell him to eat lunch with us. I don't see him anymore." Then he stormed out.
Jimin watched Taehyung as he walked away.
"What does he want from Jungkook?" Jimin asked Yoongi.
Yoongi knows. But he kept the answer to himself.
