'Hi, I'm Taehyung and I greatly dislike you, because you're way too fond of my boyfriend', Taehyung thought, while watching Lucas step into Jungkook's room.
But as he saw his face with the swollen eyes and puffy cheeks from crying, he felt a little bit bad.
But that feeling went away as Lucas friendly patted Jungkook's shoulder as a thanks for letting him in.
"Hi, I'm Lucas, I don't think we've been formally introduced", he said and held out his hand.
"Taehyung", Tae said with crossed arms.
"Why don't we sit down?", Jungkook asks after 20 seconds of silence.
"So Lucas", Taehyung started, "what's wrong with you?"
"Tae!"
"I'm just saying! You look a little bit miserable right now."
Jungkook shook his head in annoyance and sat down between them on the bed.
"My best friend got rolled over by a car-"
"Rolled over?! Damn I thought they only do that in the movies-"
A quick look from Jungkook and Taehyung realized that it would be better to shut up.
"N-no, she's in hospital right now. She's okay- she's stable, but you know.. they don't know if she'll be able to walk after this."
Taehyung raised his eyebrows.
"Oh", was all he said.
Now he did feel a little bit bad.
For Lucas' best friend.
Jungkook kept stroking his back up and down and Lucas then started sobbing loudly.
JK pulled him in for a hug and continued trying to calm him down a bit.
Just as Tae wanted to say something supportive, Jungkook asked "Do you wanna stay the night?"
Taehyung's eyes widened. Oh hell no. No way, no no.
"You would do that for me?"
"Of course."
Tae started feeling sick.
This douche was trying to steal his boyfriend and he sat right next to them and watched it happening.
"You know, what you need right now?", Tae asked.
"A bit space and a tea! There's this brilliant tea, which will make you forget everything- ouch!"
Jungkook pinched his arm.
"I'm just trying to help!"
"A tea is maybe not that bad of an idea. I'll go make some."
He left the room with Taehyung and Lucas in it, hoping it wouldn't be a total carnage when he'd come back.
Silently Taehyung sat next to him, watched him, eyed him up and down.
"Um- are you able to visit her in hospital?"
"Not yet, only when she's down from the intensive care unit or whatever you call it here."
"Right."
Taehyung bit his bottom lip. He really really wanted to hate him. But in this moment that he seemed to vulnerable, he just couldn't. He couldn't bring himself to hate him.
Even worse than that, he actually wanted to help him. Actually just because that meant, he'd leave Jungkook alone tonight...
"There's this book I've read recently- about- um- two best friends who moved in together and then realized they liked each other, and maybe you'd like to read it? Since in your situation.."
"Oh no no, my best friend and I are just friends. She's like my sister."
"Oh. Too bad."
"And by the way I think I have feelings for someone else anyway."
"Oh really?", Taehyung asked and frowned.
"Excuse me, I gotta use the toilet", he said 'and throw up' he added in his thoughts.
"Jungkook, he can't stay here."
"Why?"
"He likes you."
"So?"
"Excuse me, didn't you hear me correctly? I said he likes you."
"I know, I heard you the first time."
"Wait- you knew? And you still invited him here?"
Jungkook shrugged his shoulders.
"We're just friends. And that is not going to change, believe me."
"Does he know that? What if he tries something?"
"I thought you trust me."
"It's not you, that I don't trust."
"Then you've got nothing to be afraid of."
"You can't be serious-"
"He just needs a friend right now, Tae."
"I'm sure he has loads of other friends."
"Taehyung, will you stop thinking about yourself for a second?!"
"I'm thinking about US, you and me-"
"Enough. He's going to spend the night, and you better stop being mean to him!"
"You won't share a bed tho, right?", Taehyung asked a bit softer.
Jungkook who meant to return to his room, turned around and walked back to Taehyung.
"I'm going to sleep on the couch. Can you stop worrying now?", he smiled and gave him a peck on his lips.
"Good night."
"Night."
—-
Tossing and turning, Taehyung laid in his bed.
How was he supposed to sleep knowing that this creep was staying in the same room as his boyfriend.
He got out of bed and walked into Jungkook's room without knocking.
"Hey guys, I just um- I left my- my charger in here! Sorry to interrupt, I'll be gone immediately."
Taking Jungkook's charger with him, walking out of the room, exhaling because Jungkook was indeed staying on the couch, as he said and Lucas alone in the bed.
What was wrong with him?! Of course he trusted Jungkook. Ugh, stupid.
Did Jungkook prepare a cup of tea for him as well? He walked into the kitchen and saw the cup standing on the table, waiting for him.
'I didn't know if you wanted the blue or yellow package, so here's both. Put the one you don't use back into the cupboard. -Jk'
Taehyung smiled.
He unwrapped the blue one and let the teabag sink down into the hot water in his cup.
"You can't go to bed without a cup of tea. And maybe that's the reason that you talk in your sleep", he hummed silently. Those lyrics fit so good for him.
"Stop singing One direction songs and go to sleep", Yoongi, who just walked through the doorframe to get a snack to eat, said.
"Do you know if Jimin's still awake?", Taehyung asked.
"How should I know?"
Then he left.
"If I'm louder, would you see me-"
"Stop!", Yoongi called.
"Jesus, can't I sing any cheesy song here?"
It was silent for a second before Taehyung thought he heard Yoongi say "not in this house."
Tae rolled his eyes and got on his way to Jimin's room.
"Jiminie hyung?"
"Taehyungie?", a voice said behind the door.
"Can I come in?"
"Always!"
The younger opened the door and flopped down on the older's bed.
"You okay?"
"Bored", Taehyung answered without looking up.
"Let's bake some cookies!"
"Now?"
"Why not, I'm not tired anyway. Let's go!"
Taehyung chuckled and sighed at the same time, unclear whether he was in the mood for baking or not.
—
"We don't have all the ingredients", Jimin said, as they stood in the kitchen.
"We could get some?"
"But we have to call a bodyguard first, I don't want another shit show happening."
"Could you call one?"
"What, Kim Taehyung is too socially awkward to call a stranger and ask for help?"
"Yes, now make the call, I'll put on some shoes", he replied and went to the hallway.
"Hey, where are you going?", a voice that just walked behind him, asked.
"Getting ingredients for baking."
"Don't tell me you're going alone-"
Taehyung turned around and faced him.
"I'm not Koo, Jimin is joining me and calling a bodyguard right now."
"Oh, that's good."
"Why are you still up by the way?", Tae said and tilted his head slightly.
"Just visiting the toilet", Jungkook chuckled.
"Ah, right. Your nightly routine, I remember."
"Yes exactly. Oh um- did you see the tea I laid out for you?"
"Yes, I did", Taehyung said and pulled Jungkook closer by the waist.
The maknae forgot to breathe for a small second.
He didn't know how Tae was always successful, catching him in the most surprising moments, but it worked every time.
"I- uhm, Lucas is here. He can't see us", Jungkook said with a shaky voice.
"Then he should just look somewhere else, I'm afraid", Taehyung said and pressed his lips on Jungkook's.
"Taehyung we can go. The bodyguard is here."
The silver-haired male stopped the kiss and stroked the younger's cheek, while walking past him.
"See you."
"Yes. Of course, uhm- s-see you. Good night. Be safe!"
"About time", Jimin said smirking, as Taehyung arrived at the front door.
"Let's go."
