Once they bought cotton candy, Taehyung and Jungkook walked through the park. They took photos together or to each other. First of all, they got on the ferris wheel so they would take pictures of the panorama, too. Then, they went in the garden full of colourful flowers of the green area and, after that, took photos near the rides they went on. Lastly, they simple took pictures while walking next to each other and ate the cotton candy. They laughed at the stupid faces they made and stupid jokes. It felt good, but moslty right, for the both of them. That was some of the best days they had ever had.
Until something ruined it, or better, someone.
They weren't talking anymore, but they were close and exchanging looks occasionally, always smiling back to the other. Jungkook didn't finish the cotton candy, because he was no longer hungry and anxiety was making its part too; so he gave it to Taehyung, who seemed to understand, but didn't say anything and just took the stick. He was able to finish both, even if now he was more than full, since they were big portions. "It's worth it though." He thought.
Jungkook smiled to him and, suddenly, took the brunette's hand, holding it tightly, while looking at him. He felt his heart flatter and wasn't sure if he was going to faint just there, by looking at him or just pretend like nothing was happening inside of him.
They stood there, just like that, looking inside each other's eyes, with their hands intertwined, both their cheeks coloured of bright pink.
But in the distance, not too far though, someone was watching them. "Hoseok-hyung, we can't wait any longer! They're getting too close!" Jimin whisper-yelled, while inside he was literally exploding. He wanted to be at Taehyung's place, holding the youngest hand, keep him closer, protect him from everything and everyone and maybe place his lips on his.
It sounded like the best idea at the time.
Although, Hoseok had absolutely no idea of the real plan, he knew Jimin wanted to separate them and he didn't like it. He tried to reason with him even the week before, without succeeding. "Just wait, okay? Jungkook seems anxious, so he is probably going to say something to interrupt the moment." He said, sure of his words and crossed his arms.
Instead, the opposite happened.
Jungkook bit his lower lip and he didn't know if he had to make the first step or just let it be, until the oldest coughed slightly and looked away, saying:
"Ehm, I'm going to the bathroom, yeah... just, wait here, uh, yeah..." He rushed off, walking towards the bathroom, which they met a while ago. Once he was in, he looked at himself in the mirror and noticed his evident blush on his cheeks. He washed his face, trying also to slow down his heart beat. He felt nauseous, but he knew it was just because of anxiety. What if Jungkook didn't like him? What if he asked to meet just because he wanted to be friends? He wouldn't blame him though, they had just met after all. Was it all happening too fast? Was he expecting too much? He didn't find proper answers at those (too many) questions.
Meanwhile he was trying to calm himself down, Jimin exulted and glanced over Hoseok expectantly.
"Hyung, now! Go to the bathroom and keep Taehyung there for 5 minutes or something. I'm going to Jungkook and, unless I send you an 'Ok' message or a short call or whatever, you can't move away with Tae. Got it?" He asked and didn't even give the other time to answer that he walked quickly towards Jungkook, who seemed confused Taehyung had left like that. Maybe he didn't like him? The tension was increasing.
"Jungkookie~ How is it going?" He asked with a small smirk, standing opposite him. The black haired boy widened his eyes and shushed the other, pulling him closer by the arm. "What are you doing here hyung?! I don't want Taehyung to see us together, go home." He said, frustrated by it, but mostly, annoyed. Why was Jimin there when he perfectly knew it was a date and couldn't come? In that moment, everything seemed so obvious but at the same time unknown.
The blonde's smirk increased when he hugged Jungkook, trying to act as innocent as he could. Before hugging him he took his phone out of his pocket, so he could send few messages to Hoseok and make one short call behind the other's back.
"What are you saying? I'm here with Hoseok-hyung, we were just walking around when I saw you. He went to the bathroom, by the way."
It was so fucking obvious now though.
"Hyung, what are you doing?" He asked and pushed the other away just slightly, not enough to break the hug but enough to look into his eyes.
"Me? I'm just hugging you... and... I wanted to talk to you about something." Jimin muttered, placing his hands on Jungkook's shoulders. He was embarassed, it was obvious, but he didn't want to stop now.
Jungkook was even more confused but at the same time sure that something was going to happen. But he didn't know if it was good or bad. "...hyung?" He lastly asked, before Jimin shushed him with a thumb caressing his lips.
"Jungkook I... I love you." He announced, before placing his lips on the other's.
In the mean time, Hoseok entered the public bathrooms, with a small smile on his lips. It was a fake one, but he hoped Taehyung wouldn't notice.
This one was about to get out when he bumped into his best friend. He smiled widely and hugged the other.
"Hobi! Oh my God, why are you here? It's been a while." He exclaimed.
Hoseok smiled and hugged him back. "Hi TaeTae~ I'm here just because I wanted to... umh, you know, chill by myself so yeah... oh, why are you here though? Don't you work on Saturdays too?" He asked, keeping him in place.
Taehyung noticed something weird with his behavior, but ignored it.
"Today I'm free, I'm here with Jeon Jungkook, my patient. He told me he was one of your students once."
Hoseok grinned and forgot, for a moment, about his role into Jimin's plan. "That's true, ah, he was one of the best I've ever had, together with Jiminie. Anyway-" His phone rang in his pocket and he immediately took it. Jimin was calling and then hang up, which meant it was the signal. He took a long breathe and looked at Taehyung again, who seemed confused by the situation.
"Don't worry, it was nobody. Anyway, let's go to talk out of here, you know, a public bathroom isn't the best." He stated and both laughed, awkwardly.
Something was going on, Tae could feel it.
They walked out of there and, guided by Tae, went towards the not too far away place Jungkook was waiting for the doctor. But once they got close there, they stopped talking and Taehyung's smile vanished.
Jimin was kissing Jungkook in front of his eyes.
He clenched his fists and gnawed on his lower lip. Jungkook told him they didn't have any relationship that went over the simple friendship. Did he lie to him?
When Jimin ended the kiss, Jungkook didn't know what to say. He stared down at his best friend, his cheeks slightly pink "J-Jimin why-"
He saw Taehyung. He saw him standing few feet away from them, with the most serious face he has ever seen before on him.
He felt dizzy, he didn't know what to do, if not try to explain.
"Taehyung this is... this is not how it seems-"
"Jungkook, if you and Jimin were dating, you could simply tell me." He said, his voice sounded like he was about to give up. On what?
Jungkook shaked his head and walked over Taehyung, but Jimin pulled him from the hem of his shirt. "Jungkook what are you doing? I said I love you, I..." He thought Jungkook would accept his feelings, but he seemed to be upset.
He fucked up.
The youngest stared down at his feet, clenching his fists.
Hoseok, who was next to him, went opposite Taehyung.
"Tae, it's not Jungkook's fault! Jimin, he had this plan-"
"You knew it... You knew Jimin was going to do something, but didn't stop him! This is why you were in the bathroom, you had to keep me occupied until I had to see this... I'm leaving." He announced, before walking past them, heading to the exit.
Jungkook tried to follow him, but Hoseok placed a hand on his shoulder, with a bitter look.
"No Jungkook. He needs to stay alone. Let's go home."
In the end, the black haired boy had to listen to him. The three of them left, Hoseok driving them to Jimin and Jungkook's flat.
Nobody spoke during the journey home.
