《TaeKook/KookV | What Are We?》Chapter 16
Advertisement
Jeongguk and Yoongi went back to the rest in an awkward silence. Neither of them felt like talking to each other. It was because of Taehyung that they became friends but it's also because of Taehyung that their friendship is slowly ripping apart.
Yoongi was a total mood most of the time. He always has this 'resting bitch' face but when they got back, everyone could tell how bothered he was just by looking at him.
"Babe? What's wrong?", Jimin asked, giving his boyfriend a hug. Yoongi relaxed and hugged back. A smile was starting to form. The rest looked at the sight in awe.
"I'm fine. Don't worry so much", Yoongi said, kissing Jimin's head while still hugging him.
Jeongguk looked at Taehyung. His best friend was looking at the YoonMin couple the same way he did the other day at lunch.
"Baby...what's with that stare you're giving them? I've seen you do it before. At lunch the other day", Jeongguk said.
"It's nothing. I just.. envy them. Yoongi and Jimin are each other's first love. They have been dating each other ever since middle school and their love is just as pure and beautiful as when they first started their relationship. Jimin can turn Yoongi's pissed off mood to a relaxed, happy one and viceversa. I want a boyfriend who will look at me like I'm his world or more. Someone who will shower me with love and kisses everyday. I mean, you do all that but you don't love me romantically and you're straight as far as I know. Why not be jealous?", Taehyung said really low while looking down.
Jeongguk made Taehyung look up before speaking.
"You're my universe, Taehyung. You don't need a boyfriend as long as I'm with you. If you want love and kisses, I'll give them to you without a second thought. Don't be jealous of them anymore. What we have is so much better. After all, that 'boyfriend' thing is just a title", Jeongguk said, caressing Taehyung's cheek.

Taehyung couldn't believe anything that came out of his best friend's mouth. Yet, he felt like he needed to know what they really are... so he whispered, "Are we... friends with benefits?"
Jeongguk just laughed it off and leaned in for a kiss. Just a quick peck, though.
"Don't be dumb, Tae. I believe that in order for us to be friends with benefits, we'd have to have sex with no strings attached and do all that sexual intimacy. Again, no feelings attached", Jeongguk said, as if he was hinting that he indeed had feelings for his best friend.
"Then... what does that make us? We're best friends but we kiss and do stuff that only couples do...", Taehyung said, getting all shy.
"Best friends who kiss?", Jeongguk questioned.
"That's not normal, thou-"
"It's our normal, remember?", Jeongguk asked, interrupting Taehyung.
Taehyung just smiled and hugged Jeongguk.
"I want... to stay like this. Forever, perhaps?", Taehyung said.
"Trust me. I feel the same", Jeongguk said, hugging back.
In the background, we have the two best friends, Hoseok and Jimin, taking pictures of the two. Yoongi wasn't in the mood to look at them both after that talk with Jeongguk.
As in for the Namjin couple? Let's say Jin had enough of Namjoon not wanting to do anything romantic with him lately and so he decided to leave. Namjoon only followed him. It's not that he doesn't love Jin. It's just that he feels more comfortable kissing, hugging and doing all sorts of things at home, privately.
While hugging Taehyung, Jeongguk all of a sudden realized they came here to hang out. Not be all lovey with Taehyung. He could do that at home.
Jeongguk broke the hug, gave Taehyung one more kiss on the lips before walking up to Jimin and saying, "Jimin. We haven't hung out in a while. What do you say we walk around? Just us two."

Jimin was surprised. Very much, actually but in a good way.
"That'd be nice"
"No"
Jeongguk, Hoseok, Jimin and Taehyung looked at Yoongi questioningly.
"I have no idea why you all are staring at me like that. Jeongguk, you somehow managed to steal Tae's attention from me and the rest, most of the time. I'm not giving you my boyfriend", Yoongi said, crossing his arms.
"I don't want your boyfriend. Tae is enough for me and he's just my best friend. I just felt like him and I needed to catch up on things. Now, whether you like it or not, too bad", Jeongguk said, before grabbing Jimin by the wrist and dragging him away.
Just as Yoongi was gonna go after them, Jimin yelled, "Don't worry, babe! He won't steal my attention from you! We'll just catch up! Remember I only love you."
When hearing this, Yoongi calmed himself down.
Now, it was just Hoseok, Yoongi and Taehyung.
"YO! Suga, my man", Hoseok said out of no where putting his arm around Yoongi's shoulder. Yoongi looked at Hoseok with a judgmental face.
"Excuse you?", Yoongi questioned.
"Uh.. sorry?", Hoseok apologized, coming out more like a question.
"Nah, you're fine", Yoongi said patting Hoseok's head.
Yoongi then caught a sight of someone.
"Hey... is that Bogum over there?", Yoongi asked, pointing at a guy who was leaning against a wall, looking at his phone.
"Oh? Wait, it is. Bogum!", Taehyung said, walking over to him.
Bogum looked up to see a girl. At first he didn't know who she was. That is, until Taehyung gave him his signature box smile.
"Taetae? Is that you?", he questioned, putting his phone away.
"Yup", Taehyung said smiling.
"You look... different", Bogum said, earning a nod from Taehyung.
"Are you with anyone? If not, wanna hang out with me, Yoongi and Hoseok?", Taehyung asked.
"I was just with Baekhyun and Chanyeol. They left like 4 minutes ago, though. By the way, sure. I don't see why not", Bogum said.
"Great! Let's go!", Taehyung said excited.
"Not yet. I still have to greet the others. Sorry about that. Hey, Yoongi. Hoseok", Bogum greeted with a smile.
"Hey"
"Hi Bogum!!"
"I'm exhausted, already. I ran out of water and I'm hungry. Panda Express, please?", Taehyung said, walking at a slow pace.
"I feel you. Panda Express would most definitely be appreciated as of now", Hoseok said, holding onto Yoongi for support.
Bogum laughed while Yoongi rolled his eyes.
"Let's go, then. I'm pretty sure I've seen one in this mall. Also, no worries. I'll pay", Baekhyun said, looking for the restaurant. The rest, following behind.
It was from that point on, Yoongi knew he was right about Bogum. He truly is considerate and respectful. Just what Taehyung needs. Don't get him wrong. He cares for Jeongguk but Jeongguk isn't getting Yoongi's approval anytime soon if he keeps saying, 'We're just best friends'. Bogum is a much better choice in his opinion. Maybe if one day Jeongguk mans up, confesses to Taehyung and commits to a real relationship with him, then maybe Yoongi will switch sides. In the meantime, not happening.
Once they reached Panda Express, they saw Jeongguk and Jimin ordering from there. Yoongi was very happy to see Jimin. Jeongguk on the other hand, not so much.
Just then, Jimin ruffled Jeongguk's hair. The two were laughing. Jeongguk did the same, trying not to mess up Jimin's fake hair.
In the process, a guy walked up to Jimin and asked for 'her' phone number. Jimin was mad. Jeongguk was gonna tell that guy to fuck off but Jimin beat him to it.
"Not a chance. I already have a boyfriend and no, it's not this ugly dude standing right next to me."
