"Remind me why he's mad again?" Yoongi leaned in, whispering loudly to Namjoon while they all stare at the pissed off brunet.
Taehyung glared at his soda before aggressively taking a sip.
"Cuz Jeon didn't bring an extra hoodie for him." Jimin nonchalantly responded, taking the fry that Hoseok was about to eat and pointing it at the boy wearing a thin black shirt before shoving the piece in his own mouth.. The redhead glared at Jimin to which the male only returned an innocent look. "Oh sorry, were you gonna eat that?"
Hoseok rolled his eyes, pulling his tray of fries closer to his boyfriend and himself.
Taehyung who sat next to Yoongi, huffed. He took some from the tray and dipped them in ketchup.
"I swear to God. If you don't get your own fries, I'm leaving." Hoseok breathed out, pointedly glaring at the brunet and the pinket.
"No wonder you two are the exes." Jin voiced out, sipping his iced tea that he got from the shop next door. Jimin threw one of Hoseok's fries at him.
"Where's Jungkook anyways?" Namjoon questioned, snuggling under his boyfriend's arm as a silent sign not to start an argument.
"His mom needed him home to help around the house."
"Who cares." Taehyung grumbled pettily, crossing his arms to resemble a child throwing a tantrum.
"Jungkook can't always remember to bring a sweater for you, Tae." Hoseok chuckled, resting his arm arm around Yoongi's waist.
"How come he brings one every time I forget to bring one but the day I purposefully leave mine, he does too." Taehyung knew he sounded childish but at least his friends were used to it.
"Jeez, you act like his needy boyfriend. Jeon spoils you too much." Jimin scrunched his nose to which the brunet scowled.
"Well, I'm heading home now. There's nothing to do here anymore." The grumpy brunet stood up and dragged his feet toward the exit.
"Wow! Not at all offended or anything!" Jin yelled loud enough for a few other people to hear yet Taehyung ignored him.
The sun was annoyingly bright. The birds chirped like a motherfucking concert was live in the middle of the neighborhood. No clouds in sight which meant the UV rays would probably give him skin cancer.
It would've been a nice day if Taehyung wasn't so pissy for no real reason.
Why exactly was he mad? He wasn't too sure.
Though he did think back to Jimin's words. Maybe he was more irritated than mad. Irritated that him and Jungkook were still just friends who frustratingly act like a couple. He could ask the younger to be his boyfriend but at the same time he didn't want to.
It would be selfish of him.
What if Jungkook just got over his feelings for the brunet? And here's Taehyung asking him out and confusing the junior's feelings all over again. He's been through a lot in the past and the older just wanted him to be happy and follow his own wants for once without Taehyung interfering.
"She said, 'Kash, bitch you doin' too much.' I said, 'Shut up, hoe. You ain't doin enough.' Oh you fucking mad-" His ringtone embarrassingly went off.
Jungkook.
The male specifically asked for Taehyung to set that as his contact's ringtone. He created a Tiktok account and he suddenly didn't know how to act.
"What?" Taehyung answered snappily. It wasn't necessarily the junior's fault that his mood was down but he couldn't help it.
"Did my ringtone really set you off that bad? It's kinda catchy in my opinion." Jungkook answered through the phone, tone clearly amused.
"Shut up. It's annoying and embarrassing. You're lucky no one's around to hear it." The older huffed. "what do you want?"
"Come to the park."
"Pardon?"
"Just come to the park."
"I thought your mom needed you for something." Taehyung skeptically brought up.
"I lied. Now come to the park." Taehyung didn't like how blunt the younger was being.
"Why?"
"Because I said so."
"Why?"
"Because I wanted to hang out."
"Why?"
"Are you coming to the park or not?"
"Why- Okay, yeah sure."
Taehyung arrived at the park to see Jungkook sitting on a bench with two ice cream cones in hand. His eyes widened. Did he forget a special occasion or something?
He clumsily took his phone out of his back pocket— almost dropping it in the process— and checking the calendar. Hm, September seemed to be way too far off.
His brows furrowed before walking forward.
"I'm not sure if you're aware that your birthday isn't for another four months." The senior said as the younger handed the strawberry ice cream over.
"I'm aware." Jungkook rolled his eyes but that grin just wouldn't seem to leave his face.
"Then what is this for?" Taehyung was now genuinely confused.
"You know, I was gonna save it for later but knowing how impatient you are, I've already mentally prepared myself."
"... For what?"
"Your favorite ice cream flavor's strawberry right?" The younger asked, completely ignoring Taehyung's questioning stare.
"Uh, yeah?"
"Well if you were ice cream, you'd be my favorite flavor."
Taehyung was not expecting that. That was so unexpected that he almost choked on the ice cream when he bursted into laughter.
"What the- what the fuck, Kook?" He wheezed out. "That was so bad."
"Yeah, well... can I double stuff your ice cream sandwich?"
"Oh my fucking God. Stop!" Taehyung laughed out.
"Do you like cherry on top? If not, then can I have yours?"
The older would've dropped his cone if the light pole next to him didn't keep him stable. Jungkook knew how much he loved horrible pick up lines. There have been multiple nights were they fell asleep on call while seeing who can top the other's line better.
Jungkook reached behind him and grabbed the hoodie from the bench he was originally sitting on.
"This hoodie's made of cotton but wanna know what I'm made out of? Boyfriend material."
That... that did not make Taehyung laugh.
"W-what?"
The younger held out the piece of clothing to which the brunet only stared at.
That didn't stop Jungkook from smiling because it gave him the opportunity to ask "Taehyung, will you be my boyfriend?"
The strawberry ice cream most definitely fell on the ground.
"Wait... you're being serious? Like you 100% honestly want to make me, the sack of moody potatoes, to be your other half? Your significant other? The sprinkles to your plain ass?"
"You can just say no if you don't want-"
"NO! No! Wait- I MEAN YES! Yes, I wanna be your boyfriend." Taehyung said in one breath, making it hard for the younger to understand until he repeated it again. "I wanna be your boyfriend, Jungkook."
The junior exhaled a relieved sigh before pulling the brunet into a soft kiss. His first kiss. Oh man, holy shit.
Both males couldn't stop the giddy feeling from rising in their stomachs. After years of being friends they were finally together.
Jungkook was the first to pull away.
"Can you take the fucking hoodie already?"
