"Hey Guk, where are you hiding?" Taehyung calls him by a new created nickname.
"I'm in the bathroom, give me five minutes and I'm done cleaning!" Jeongguk yells back from the first floor but who's he kidding, he's not cleaning at all. The rag he's holding is still dry while he walks around, thinking of how to tell the other that he won't move in with him.
After ten minutes there's a knock. "That's long five minutes. Come out now, we have to get your things." Taehyung's voice is loud but he seems so close. After opening the door, Jeongguk sees a shirtless Taehyung standing right in front of him. He let out a gasp, is about to close the door again but the other doesn't let it happen.
"At least wear a shirt, Pervhyung!" Jeongguk squeals like a girl when the door is pushed open completely.
"Why? You like what you see? Do you wanna touch?" It's a deep voice which sends shivers down the younger's spine.
"In your dreams!" Scoffs Jeongguk "It's not even sexy, you don't look /that/ good." Obviously a fat lie, he likes pretty boys, the soft features but he can see that Taehyung's fit, has muscles at the right places but it's not too much, just perfect - for him. Jeongguk himself likes to work out a lot, is very proud of his eightpack and manly stature.
"Yeah, of course." Taehyung's tone becomes a little bit arrogant.
"M'not lying." The younger rolls his eyes annoyed but not really.
Taehyung steps closer, while the other instinctively places his hands on the older's chest to stop him - mistake... He gulps, can feel the hard nipples below his fingers. "Shit"
"You know that you're still touching me, right? Isn't it a little bit unfair that only you can but I can't?" He licks his lips, slightly turned on by the thought of touching him too.
Jeongguk's eyes widen, pushing Taehyung out of the bathroom only to lock the door after him. "Go! I'll come down in a minute, then we can leave." He just wants him to go away, the plan about telling him that he doesn't want to move in had failed miserable.
"Ok, hurry up. I have other things to do today too." Taehyung turns around finally leaving him alone.
The younger takes a deep breath, throwing the cleaning rag - which he had picked up a few seconds ago - in a corner. "Aaaah! So annoying." Ruffles his hair, more frustrated than before.
The door bell rings but Jeongguk stays. If it would be Jimin again he can just come out but if it will be someone else he has to stay hidden.
Jeongguk opens the bathroom door to peek through the slit, sees Taehyung putting on a shirt, then opening the door. "Who are you?" His voice sounds confused and Jeongguk wants to know so badly who it is. Unfortunately the front door is in his line of sight.
"Hello Taehyung, my name is Minah. Mom gave me your address, just wanted to finally meet you." A female voice announces. Jeongguk has to hold back a shriek, it's definitely his friend, he'd recognize that voice anywhere. Fuck fuck fuck.
"Well, come in then." Taehyung let her enter by stepping aside.
"Thank you. It's really nice here." She coos, then sits down on the sofa.
"Thanks I guess, do you want something to drink?" He asks her, receiving a nod with a smile "Water would be nice."
"Guk?" He calls the other's nickname but doesn't get an answer.
"Gukie?" It's louder this time.
"Oh, I call my friend Gukie too." Minah chuckles and at times like these, Jeongguk is glad his name wasn't that rare, or so he hopes.
"I'll go and look where he is. The boy is new, doesn't know how to execute commands yet." Taehyung gritts his teeth.
Jeongguk sees him climbing up the stairs, takes a step back to not getting hit by the door.
The older seems to be angry. "Why didn't you come out? You're embarrassing me." It's only a whisper but Jeongguk knows that he's definitely annoyed.
"I'm sorry Taehyung, Minah there is my friend and I haven't told her yet that I work for you. It's embarrassing for me and you'll understand soon why." Jeongguk looks down to the ground, hates that he's like that right now, feels small and stupid.
"Oh, I see, my fia- this girl is your friend. Fine, this time I'll let you off the hook but you should tell her that you work for me. I don't want to serve her every time she'll visit."
Jeongguk nods, of course he had heard the slip, knows that she's his soon to be wife but Taehyung doesn't know that he knows.
"She's a family friend, I think she'll come over more often now." The older adds, kind of lies but doesn't at the same time. Taehyung had never seen her before but there must be a connection between their parents.
Jeongguk's confused about why Taehyung won't tell him the truth. "Taehyung ?" Says his name softly.
"Hmm?" The other hums in return.
"I've heard what you've said earlier. She's your fiancé, am I right?"
Taehyung looks at him as if a second head is growing out of his neck. "You were eavesdropping Jimin and I?"
Is it disappointment or fear? Jeongguk can't tell. "Well, yes but I couldn't hear much, I only heard you talking about this topic." - The truth.
Taehyung's body relaxes visibly, Jeongguk wonders what else they had talked about, what he shouldn't have heard.
"Ok, I'll just say you feel sick but you have to tell her soon." Taehyung warns the younger with a raised finger, leaves after checking him out for a last time.
Jeongguk scoffs because he saw it.
Taehyung's back in the living room with a fake smile. "He suddenly felt sick, I'll bring you your water instead" and walks to the kitchen.
Jeongguk is still observing the whole situation. Minah's looking around the room, nods her head the whole time, admiring it with awe. When Taehyung comes back, cold water in his hand, he places it on the table in front of her. She takes the glass with a smile as a thank you and sips from it.
"Taehyung, you know who I am, right?" She suddenly asks out of the blue.
Taehyung's eyes meet hers. "Yes, our parents want us to get married but I don't wanna lie to you, I dislike the idea." He thinks it's only fair to be honest with her.
Jeongguk can't believe it, his friend is pretty and rich but maybe he really doesn't care about all of this. Wait, it does makes sense, he's gay and it explains it all.
"Oh, I think after you get to know me you'll change your mind." She smirks, taking another sip.
"I don't think so. First of all, I'm not interested in girls or women at all and second, I'm too young to get married. Sorry, it has nothing to do with you as a person but I just can't marry a woman." He hopes that she'll understand but he thought wrong.
Minah laughs mockingly. "As if our parents care. It's business Taehyung, we can't do anything about it and you know that. You better get used to the thought of fucking a pussy because I won't stay dry for the rest of my life!" She stands up, walking closer to him. Her fingertips are touching his chest, running down until they reach his belly.
Taehyung stops her roughly. "Don't fucking touch me ever again!"
Jeongguk's jaw drops, no one has ever said no to Minah. He can see the fire in her eyes, can tell that it's not over yet.
"You should get used to it because I'll touch you way more than that in the future Taehungie." His name is spoken sweetly, she's trying to sound cute.
"I'm already seeing someone, I won't cheat on him. Don't even try to seduce me because it won't work anyway you're wasting your time."
Taehyung's definitely lying about seeing someone, Jeongguk knows it but Minah is clueless.
"You should enjoy the short time the both of you have together, I won't accept a side hoe." She closes the distance between them more, Taehyung stays unimpressed.
"I don't think you can tell me what to do Miss Minah, I won't ever change my mind. I heard about you from a friend and I know that you're a literal whore." Taehyung doesn't even blink when she gasps outrageous.
That Jeongguk is shocked is a clear understatement, how the fuck can he say something like that to her and he himself can't even tell her to fuck off?
"Yah! How dare you to say that to me? Are you out of your mind? You should apologize and don't think I'll forgive you easily." Minah smirks as she says the last part.
Jeongguk knows exactly what she wants. It's like a game for her. Taehyung isn't an easy target so she wants him even more. It's what she and her friends call 'hunting a dick'. Minah is completely ignoring the fact that Taehyung is gay and it hurts Jeongguk more than he wants to admit but he feels with his boss slash friend.
