"JEON JEONGGUK! THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING TO TAEHYUNG YOU SON OF A BITCH?! YOU'RE ONLY HIS, I MEAN HER BEST FRIEND! YOU BETTER LET GO OF YOUR HOLD ON TAEHYUNG OR I WILL HIT YOU WITH MY FRYING PAN! BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY I BROUGHT IT WITH ME TODAY!!"

Jeongguk broke the kiss he shared with Taehyung and crossed his arms out of disappointment.

"Tae! You okay? You're not hurt, are you? I feel so bad for you. He stole your first kiss", Jin said as he hugged Taehyung.

"It's fine. Don't worry, Jin. If he hadn't, that guy wouldn't have given up", Taehyung said, not telling Jin his first kiss was taken long ago by Jeongguk himself.

"By the way, nice work out there when you told him you were taken. You even changed your voice", Jimin said, giving Taehyung a high-five.

"I forgot to tell you, Tae. You look beautiful", Hoseok said with a smile, making Taehyung blush.

"Come here", Hoseok told Taehyung.

Taehyung walked over to him. When he did, Hoseok brought him into a hug. His hands on Taehyung's waist. This was part of his plan but of course, Taehyung was oblivious as ever.

Namjoon, Jin, and Jimin looked at Jeongguk, knowing he might get ticked off. They were right. The scowl on his face was evident.

"I'll go look around. I need some time for myself", Jeongguk said out of nowhere, walking away from the rest.

Taehyung wanted to go after him but Hoseok told him not to....

———

Jeongguk walked and walked around the mall. He soon found himself at the center of the mall where there were couches, seats, and tables to take a rest. He'd been walking for about 10 minutes now so why not?

He sat on the couch and decided to lay his head back with his eyes closed.

'Taehyung.. baby', he thought.

He wanted no one but Taehyung by his side. What happened earlier with Hoseok had really angered him. It's not like he can actually claim Taehyung as his... even though Taehyung himself said it was okay.

"Uh,.. hello", a girl greeted, interrupting Jeongguk from his thoughts.

Jeongguk opened his eyes and looked up to see a girl with straight black hair. She had a pretty good body but he couldn't help but compare it to Taehyung. He quickly snapped out of it.

"I think you're really attractive. May I have your number?", the girl said, sitting next to Jeongguk. She then placed her hand on Jeongguk's thigh.

Jeongguk without a second thought, stood up, feeling uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry but no. You may not", Jeongguk said sternly.

"Why is that? Are you not interested?", she asked, getting closer.

"Precisely", Taehyung stated out of no where, pushing the girl lightly. Of course, not forgetting to adjust his voice.

Jeongguk was just questioning everything at this point, wondering why Taehyung was here and if he had followed him.

"What's wrong with you? Who are you?, the girl asked irritated.

"I don't see what the problem is here. You've got some audacity to get all over him like that. Who am I, you ask? I'm his girlfriend", Taehyung said, glaring at the girl.

The girl only scoffed and walked off.

Taehyung turned around and faced his best friend.

"Koo... if something is bothering you, just tell me. I wanna help you get rid of those thoughts. Don't keep it to yourself and walk away, okay?", Taehyung said softly before giving Jeongguk a peck on the lips.

Jeongguk smiled and brought Taehyung into a hug. He then said, "Thank you for just now. Also,.. I walked away because I was mad. I didn't want to see Hoseok hug you like that. It pissed me off. I guess you could say I was jealous."

"The hug was a friendly gesture? I don't see why you'd be jealous, though. You don't like me", Taehyung said, breaking the hug. Again, forgetting that he had heard Jeongguk say he had feelings for him yesterday.

Jeongguk thought of a quick excuse.

"You're my best friend. You said so yourself that you were mine. As a best friend, I mean. Of course, I'd get jealous", Jeongguk said, hoping Taehyung would buy it.

Taehyung made an 'O' face.

"Sorry. It was dumb of me. Let's go back, okay?", Jeongguk said, intertwining his hand with Taehyung's.

On their way back to find the rest of the gang, they'd give each other pecks on the lips or cheek while laughing/smiling. A lot of people would look at them in awe. We have a few girls and guys that were jealous but those people are irrelevant.

Once they found the rest, Jeongguk apologized for walking off.

There came a time where Taehyung and Jeongguk continued their little kisses in front of the others due to temptation and longing for one another.

Jimin and Hoseok were perfectly fine with it. They knew Taehyung liked Jeongguk and had a feeling that Jeongguk felt the same.

Namjoon and Jin questioned their actions very much at the beginning but learned to somewhat get used to it. They figured those two liked each other but were too cowardly to say it to each other.

Yoongi on the other hand, didn't like it whatsoever.

In fact, he hated it so much to the point, he walked up to Jeongguk and said, "I need to have a word with you.. Privately." Then, left.

Jeongguk didn't know what was up with him but followed him anyways.

The moment they reached a more secluded area, Yoongi spoke.

"I won't accept this", Yoongi said with anger.

Jeongguk looked at him confused.

"Jeongguk listen up! You're straight! You flirt with girls and love the attention they give you! Why are you toying with Taehyung like this?! Just because he's your best friend and he's gay, you think you have the right to do this?! What if Taehyung falls for you due to your careless actions, huh?! What the fuck happened that you thought it was a normal idea to kiss your best friend on the lips?!", Yoongi yelled lightly, very much pissed off.

"Look... I don't know either", Jeongguk said honestly, looking down.

"The fuck do you mean by you don't know either?!", Yoongi questioned, annoyed by his answer.

"I think I like him but I also think that I don't. That it's just my hormones acting up to his body. For now, it's an experiment to test my feelings for him", Jeongguk said slightly confused by his own answer.

"An experiment?! A fucking experiment, you say?! Jeongguk, stop whatever it is you're doing. The one who will get hurt at the end of the day will be Taehyung. Just stay as your straight self. Don't experiment with Taehyung to test your sexuality. It's just wrong. Stay as best friends and let Taehyung date a guy like Bogum or something", Yoongi said, only to be pushed harshly by Jeongguk.

"NO! I don't want him to date anyone... but me. He's.. mine!", Jeongguk said with a mix of anger, jealousy, sadness and confusion.

"Snap out of it! You said he was an experiment. That you were using him to test your feelings. He's not yours. WHY CAN'T HE STAY AS YOUR BEST FRIEND WITHOUT ALL THE KISSES AND H-"

"BECAUSE I LOVE HIM!"

"What did you say?", Yoongi asked with disbelief.

"I know what I said earlier but it came out wrong. I love the relationship Tae and I have. I love it so much. He's special to me. I can't live without him but I want to understand these feelings of mine better. I don't want him and I to go back to being just best friends but I'm not so sure if dating him is something I want either. That's why.. that's why I need to keep the relationship I have with him. To see if me being with him is the ultimate decision. I love him. I really do but I'm not ready or sure if I want to commit to dating someone. Please, Yoongi. Trust me on this. I'm doing this for both him and I..", Jeongguk said, looking at Yoongi in the eyes.

Yoongi stayed quiet for some time.

His final words before leaving were...

"Do what you want but let me tell you something. If you end up hurting Tae in the process, you can forget about me ever being your friend. I'll make sure you stay away from Tae too. After all, it would be because of your selfishness and the fact you didn't listen to me when you had the chance. So, think and do everything carefully."
